Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 306: Enemy 1

"Miss, what are you going to do?" Bai Zhu insisted.

Wang Jinyi patted the box of the crossbow and said, "Of course it is very useful!"

"Miss, I have never tried it before. I don't know if it can be used on arrows. Let me try it first."

Wang Jinyi nodded to Feng Mei, Bai Shu looked at her in confusion, and Feng Mei agreed:

"Miss, I'll go and try it tomorrow after the curfew is lifted. Baishu, you can use bamboo and wooden arrowheads to test the efficacy of the medicine first, don't wait for me to find special feather arrows."

From that night on, Wang Jinyi's bedroom became a workshop.

The wound had healed but not yet fully recovered, so the task of making the lever device fell on Wu Mei and the two maids.

In order to increase the ejection force, Wang Jinyi put a lot of thought into it and modified the ejection device several times.

Until Wu Mei and the nanny who were working on it were confused and couldn't understand what the young lady meant by repeatedly drawing the same device, sometimes big and sometimes small.

When Baizhu was studying the medicinal powder, he was afraid that others would touch it, so he set up a small table facing the wall in a corner of the room and fiddled with various herbs.

He also repeatedly reminded everyone: "Don't touch my things, and don't move the paper on the powder!"

Perhaps it was due to the influence of everyone that the new lever device was completed in just two days and nights.

After two days of busy work, everyone was tired. Wang Jinyi finally felt sleepy. Her attention was completely drawn away, and the numbness and itchiness in her hands were no longer so unbearable.

The curfew has been lifted. I'll find something to test shoot tomorrow.

Baizhu carefully cleaned up the medicinal powder on the table, put it in bottles and jars, found a small box, and put everything neatly in place.

Two maids were busy fetching water to help the young lady wash. Ever since her hand was injured, she has never touched water again. Now the maids wash her face for her. They only use a warm towel to wipe her hands and try not to touch water directly.

Wang Jinyi leaned against the head of the bed while Bai Zhu gently massaged her hands. The night nanny was dozing off on the table while Wu Mei went back to her room with the crossbow.

Just when she was a little confused, she suddenly felt Bai Zhu's hand stop and gently pull the young lady. Wang Jinyi opened her eyes, patted her hand, slowly got up, walked out of bed barefoot, took out the dagger from under the pillow, took out the scabbard and held it in her hand.

He tiptoed to the door and listened.

There was no more noise outside, but she was sure she had heard someone approaching quietly, but that person accidentally stepped into the puddle of water that had been splashed at the door.

He stepped lightly into the water, stirring up mud and water, and landed lightly on the ground, making a sound. There was no mistake, there was someone there!

There are people patrolling the yard at night. How did this person get in?

The frightened Bai Zhu saw the young lady signaling to her, so she approached the nanny, covered her mouth to signal her not to make any sound, pointed outside the door, and mouthed silently: There's someone!

Although she didn't know what was going on and was still a little confused, she understood what the young lady and Bai Zhu meant, so she tensed her body and stared at the young lady closely.

Wang Jinyi put ten fingers on her lips, told the two of them not to make any sound, and gestured to turn off the oil lamp. The nanny quickly turned off the oil lamp, and the room suddenly became dark.

Wang Jinyi gently opened the door a crack, and in the dim moonlight, she could vaguely see a dark shadow moving in the yard.

She looked around calmly at every spot she could see. It seemed that there were other people in the yard, and more than one.

Wang Jinyi's palms were sweating from nervousness. The bad guy was approaching silently. He must be looking for something, or he was hiding during curfew and didn't have time to escape.

Wang Jinyi calmed down immediately and prepared himself to see what they were going to do next. If they were just passing by, there was no need to take risks.

He silently grasped the dagger and leaned against the wall behind the door, focusing all his attention on the door.

Because of the last injury, my back has not fully recovered yet, so I definitely can’t do any large-scale exercise, even if I want to run away... haha!

Even though I'm not sure, I have to give it a try!

The unique cold air of Beining Prefecture blew in through the crack in the door, blowing away the last trace of sleepiness. The chill made Wang Jinyi unusually awake.

Could this be the remnant of the Northern Barbarian spies?

This guess made all the hairs on Wang Jinyi's body stand up.

Bai Zhu tiptoed towards the young lady and wanted to rush out to call for help, but Wang Jinyi gestured with her hand, indicating that the bad guy was under the porch, and placed her hand horizontally across Bai Shu's neck.

Tell her that she will die if she goes out.

Bai Shu pulled Wang Jinyi back. In the darkness, Wang Jinyi felt Bai Shu crying unconsciously. She held Bai Shu's hand tightly and whispered, "Hide well."

The person outside the door was stunned after hearing it. It was a female voice. Modo froze outside the door.

Modo felt that he had found the wrong person! He was looking for the boy who shot the arrow at him.

A bang came from a lighted room not far away, attracting people's attention. Modo turned around instantly and walked closer quickly.

Wu Mei went back to her room and wanted to play with the crossbow, but there was no target. She went to the kitchen and secretly brought a chopping board over. She busily chose a position in the room and tried to learn how to aim.

After fiddling with it for a while, she finally figured it out. She tried pulling the launch rod, and a wooden arrow flew out and hit the chopping board. Wu Mei slapped her thigh with joy. If it wasn't the middle of the night, she would have cheered.

Before he could finish being happy, the door was kicked open, and Modo and Wu Mei were face to face, and both were startled.

Wu Mei was dressed in men's clothes, holding a crossbow in her hand and facing the door.

Modo instantly hid behind the door.

Wu Mei was immersed in playing with the crossbow when she heard the door being kicked open.

A tall and strong man with an exotic face, wearing a mask, dressed in black, and holding a long knife in his hand, flashed in front of the door and hid behind it.

After just a moment's hesitation, Wu Mei realized that someone had sneaked into the yard. She shouted loudly:

"Someone, there's a thief! Someone come quickly..."

Before she could finish her words, a string of darts was thrown at her and Wu Mei was busy dodging them.

Wang Jinyi listened to the person at the door walking away along the porch. Just when she felt relieved, she heard the door of a room not far away being kicked open. Judging from the sound, it was the last room in the row, Wu Mei's room.

Wang Jinyi opened the door and rushed into the yard, shouting:

"Wu Mei, turn off the lights."

The sound was too sudden, and several eyes were fixed on this direction in the darkness.

In the chilly autumn moonlight, a chill enveloped the courtyard. Wang Jinyi rushed into the darkness in front of the door without stopping, took a quick look and then squatted down.

The oil lamp in Wu Mei's room went out and the yard became quiet.

Wang Jinyi held her breath and listened attentively to the surrounding movements. After a moment, she heard light footsteps approaching.

In the room behind him, Bai Shu's trembling voice rang out:

"Hurry, hurry up, there's a thief..."

The sound was strange and harsh, one louder than the other.
