Today, how come I haven't seen Zichu all day!?
Luzi reached out to touch the teacup on the table, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind. Didn't I already tell him that Outside is not safe!?
Sigh! This Wang Sun! Luzi sighed inwardly; actually, he couldn't blame him entirely, as he also had a responsibility. There were too many unexpected situations today, all completely unforeseen. Once this person got busy, he would inadvertently overlook some people and things around him.
Lu Zigang wanted to walk to the door to check if Wang Sun was in the room, but as soon as he took a step, he abandoned that idea. Zichu was also someone who loved excitement; if he hadn't left without saying goodbye, he would definitely have gone with everyone to the city wall to watch the Qin Envoy Group.
He hadn't seen him since morning! With this thought emerging, Luzi finally confirmed that he hadn't seen Zichu since he got up in the morning.
Where could this guy be at this moment... After considering various possibilities and dismissing them one by one, the answer soon became clear!
Luzi rubbed his swollen temples and changed into a set of night clothes. He quietly opened the window to see that there was no one Outside, then slapped the table and jumped into the courtyard. Kneeling on the ground again to confirm that there was no one in the courtyard, he ran towards Xiao Yu'er's room along the shadow formed by the eaves.
This girl must be bored out of her mind; I might as well take her out for a breeze tonight!
As Luzi stealthily approached Xiao Yu'er's window, he noticed that it was still brightly lit inside, which piqued his curiosity. After watching for a while, he saw that Xiao Yu'er wasn't resting; instead, she was propping her chin on her hand, staring at the candlelight on the table in a daze.
Luzi pushed the window and found it wasn't locked. He gently tapped it with his index finger. With a creaking sound, he slapped the bedside and jumped into the room. Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring being drawn. Following the sound with focused attention, he saw a sharp Triangular Arrowhead flash three Cold Lights in the flickering candlelight.
"Who is it!?"
Ever since Xiao Yu'er joined the team for the river crossing mission, emergency battlefield rescue had become evident. If it weren't for having a Surgeon with them at that time, severely injured Li Xin would definitely not have made it back to Qin Camp.
Out of respect, Luzi had consulted her opinion beforehand. It was one thing for his group to be at someone else's mercy; Little Fish should have her own choice. If she disagreed, it would save him from worrying later. Unexpectedly, this tough girl readily agreed but needed one condition: she wanted to apply for a weapons instructor.
If it were about bringing down the moon from heaven, it would indeed be challenging; however, there were quite a few weapons instructors available. Luzi naturally agreed wholeheartedly since they would need to master weapon knowledge in future missions. This wasn't like being a street doctor where as long as you didn't prescribe the wrong medicine there wouldn't be any danger. The tasks they would participate in later were life-threatening affairs; having skills was only right.
The best swordsmanship and Crossbow techniques in Qin State belonged to Wang Jian, but he was currently serving in the Military. As a second option, Li Xin took on the role of teacher without hesitation. However, his ranged weapon was a bow; his ancestral skills made him resistant to using Crossbows. This led to Xiao Yu'er learning archery instead of using Crossbows which had longer range and higher accuracy.
One should always be cautious about drawing parallels! Li Xin praised Xiao Yu'er for being clever and intelligent whenever he met someone; you can imagine what that meant!
Luzi looked at the three arrows aimed at him and realized that Li Family's triple shot technique had already been mastered by Xiao Yu'er. While nodding to himself, he suddenly noticed the bow shaking slightly. This was due to the archer's insufficient strength, making it possible for the bow to fire at any moment.
Sweating profusely, Luzi shook his body and found that Arrows remained locked on their target. He quickly reminded, "It's me! It's me! Put down your weapon!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Yu'er hurriedly lowered the hard bow.
Luzi leaped over and grabbed the three arrows that were almost released. Wiping his sweat, he sighed in relief, "Thanks to Li Laoshi not giving you the ancestral hard bow, otherwise I would have failed today!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu'er was more straightforward than his master and quickly explained that it wasn't his master's fault but rather that he simply couldn't draw it.
The good bows made by the Li Family were of excellent quality and kept secret. After modifying the original leaf-shaped arrowheads to Triangular Arrowhead, their range increased by nearly thirty meters compared to before. Li Xin, who had practiced since childhood, was naturally not someone like Xiao Yu'er, who was a latecomer, could compare with.
At this moment, the bow in Xiao Yu'er's hand could be easily snapped by Li Xin with just a gentle tug.
Luzi clearly had no intention of explaining this matter. He pulled down his masked black scarf and said, "Lady Lu! I need to scale walls and rooftops. I wonder if you would be willing to demonstrate your lightness skill?"
"Is it walking on water?"
"Uh... hurry up and change your clothes inside!"
As a night traveler, one naturally could not be seen or heard. After Luzi waited for Xiao Yu'er to come out, he began preparing for the initial tasks. Fortunately, there weren't many gestures for commands; a brief teaching would suffice for basic communication.
Once Luzi confirmed everything was in order, he raised his hand and extinguished the candlelight. As his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he stated the key point. "No matter what happens, do not make a sound; communicate with gestures. Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain. Not only that, but our lives may also be at risk. Did you get that?!"
With a soft "mm-hmm," Luzi had to remind again, "That 'mm-hmm' is also not allowed! Remember! Understand?!"
This time, Xiao Yu'er seemed to have learned his lesson and gently patted Luzi's shoulder as a sign. When he turned back around, he gave a thumbs-up indicating everything was fine.
Satisfied, Luzi nodded and waved toward the door. The two of them simultaneously pointed their toes and leaped several feet forward to the window. They gently pushed it open and flipped over the windowsill together.
"Stop!"
Luzi had already made up his mind to give his brothers a stern warning the next day. With such carelessness, how could he protect important individuals? Suddenly hearing the warning in the courtyard and seeing a dozen shadowy figures standing there, he was taken aback—Enemy Attack!
Luzi quickly signaled Xiao Yu'er not to make any moves before saying, "How bold! Do you dare come to my Prosperity Inn!?"
"Innkeeper!?"
As Cai Youdao stepped out from the shadows, he looked at the two black-clad individuals surrounded by them under the moonlight. "Put down your weapons! All of you! It's our Big Shopkeeper!" After saying this, he raised his right hand and extended his fingers. The hidden Shop Assistants around them dispersed and vanished without a trace.
"Innkeeper!" Cai Youdao approached and bowed respectfully. "Are you and... are you going out?"
"Yes!" Luzi replied, explaining, "It's a long night, and we plan to take a stroll."
Cai Youdao glanced at the sword hilts exposed behind the two individuals and then pretended not to see anything. "Let a few brothers accompany you! The situation outside is complicated and chaotic!"
Experiencing nightlife for the first time, Xiao Yu'er seemed a bit excited. Adjusting the quiver on his back, he whispered, "With Scoundrel protecting Luzi, Cai Zhanggui need not worry."
