It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 371

The guarding of the city gate of Changning Prefecture has not been so strict for more than half a month.

According to the information available, the gatekeepers at the East City Gate were divided into two groups, who took over the shift at noon and switched between morning and evening every ten days.

When Chunying and Jiang Yan left the city this morning, the gatekeepers on duty remained unchanged, but now, there were five unfamiliar faces among the nine people. Judging from their posture and temperament... they looked like soldiers.

Perhaps because of this doubt, Jiang Yan even felt that the swords hanging on their waists had become a little heavier when he recalled it.

Thirteen had already received the unusual signal. After hearing Chunying and Jiang Yan's description, he left in a hurry to discuss with others without waiting for the people who went to verify the situation to return.

They were prepared for this situation, so about a quarter of an hour later, Chunying received a new assignment.

……

At the end of the hour of Xu, Jiang Yan and Chunying took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and, with the help of Tian Jiu, quietly climbed onto the roof of a house near Fu Nulang's courtyard in the governor's mansion, then lay down quietly, blending into the night.

Jiang Yan's heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her chest. She had a vague premonition of what was going to happen, but she was powerless to stop herself from getting caught in the center of the vortex.

The hole caused by the broken tiles can be seen in the corner of the light, suggesting that the roof is not solid and is at risk of collapse at any time.

Jiang Yan is no longer as tough as he was a few years ago. When the cold wind blows, the back of his neck becomes uncontrollably stiff.

She moved her limbs slowly and imperceptibly, but her mind was racing: Why hasn't it started yet? When will it start? If it's not postponed, let's try again some other day...

After a long time, Jiang Yan heard the movement coming from the front yard of the governor's mansion, as well as strange noises coming from both sides of him.

She subconsciously looked over...

There were flashes of swords and sabers, people falling to the ground with muffled sounds, and a dark color slowly flowing out from below.

Jiang Yan pinched his arms with varying strength, trying his best to prevent his muscles from becoming stiff due to excessive tension.

She really didn't understand why she and Chunying were arranged to hide in this dangerous place. It was very difficult to find a place to hide now.

But fortunately, there were no flaws in this "professional arrangement". Although the fighting below was fierce, it did not affect the two people on the roof.

A familiar whistle sounded. Chunying moved her ears and mouthed to Jiang Yan to be patient and continue to lie down.

After an unknown amount of time, a light in a courtyard came on, and then a faint cry was heard, as if calling for the "midwife", "The Third Young Master's wife is about to give birth!"

The third male official in the Changning Governor's Mansion is named Zheng Zhixin. He is Madam Song's biological son and also the husband of Miss Fu.

Upon hearing the news that Miss Fu had given birth, even Chunying, who was calm and composed tonight, could not help but curse in a low voice like Jiang Yan.

What kind of idiot would be shouting at a time like this, fearing that the enemy cannot accurately reach the door.

The fight below had subsided. Jiang Yan thought for a moment, then extended two fingers in front of Chunying, silently asking her if she wanted to move to the area near the courtyard where Fu Nulang was.

Chunying shook her head. They had to wait here for the next arrangements.

As dawn was about to break, the noise in the courtyard where Miss Fu was gradually subsided.

Just when Jiang Yan thought that the matter was basically settled and she had nothing to do and could go back to the house to sleep soon, she vaguely heard the weak cry of a baby, which was getting closer and closer.

Chunying frowned and her expression became nervous.

She called Tian Jiu, who was hiding somewhere unknown, and told him to follow the sound and investigate carefully. She took Jiang Yan to the roof to keep watch.

Jiang Yan put his right hand on the quiver, and a layer of frost had formed on the outside of the quiver.
