The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1634

Chapter 1634: 789 Yan Baobao Shows Her Power (First Update)

Gu Xiaoshun sat up quickly.

He moved very fast but without a sound.

He gave Gu Yan a look, indicating that he would go check and that Gu Yan should wait there.

In fact, Gu Xiaoshun was a year younger than Gu Yan, but because Gu Yan was always the sickly one, Gu Xiaoshun had become accustomed to protecting him.

Gu Yan shook his head, signaling him not to check but to wake up their master and mistress instead.

Okay.

Gu Xiaoshun replied in his heart, and without even putting on shoes, he went barefoot to the room of Mistress Nan and Master Lu.

As he passed through the main room, he distinctly heard the sound of someone trying to pry open the door. However, the door latch modified by Master Lu, the top craftsman in Zhan Country, wasn’t so easily breached.

Of course, there was still the possibility that they would get frustrated and use brute force to kick the door open.

Gu Xiaoshun needed to hurry.

He shook Mistress Nan awake.

Being woken up in the middle of the night startled Mistress Nan. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xiaoshun covered her mouth.

This was a move he had learned from Gu Yan.

It came in handy.

Mistress Nan, being seasoned and experienced, immediately sensed something was wrong just from Gu Xiaoshun waking her up at night and covering her mouth.

She kicked Master Lu awake.

"What’s going on?" Master Lu asked, bewildered.

Mistress Nan glared at him and whispered, "Keep it down! Someone’s here."

Master Lu instantly became alert.

Mistress Nan usually got up once or twice during the night, so she slept on the outer side.

Master Lu quietly got out of bed, grabbed the axe from the table, and made his way to the door.

Mistress Nan quickly put on her shoes, threw on an outer garment, and followed Master Lu to the main room.

Click.

After a slight noise, the door latch finally gave way.

The door was pushed open from outside, and a man in black stepped in.

However, what greeted him was a glinting axe.

Fortunately, he was a master; an ordinary thief would have been split in half by the axe.

He quickly took a step back to avoid Master Lu’s axe, but although he dodged, his clothes were cut open, and his belt snapped.

The other four people behind him drew their swords when they saw this.

One of them pulled him aside and thrust a sword at Master Lu!

Mistress Nan’s eyes turned cold. "Dream on if you think you can hurt my man!"

With a flick of her finger, three Begonia Needles flew at the attacker!

He quickly retracted the move to stab Master Lu and swung his sword to block the hidden weapons.

He deflected two but got hit in the arm by the last one.

A strange pain spread through his arm, and he grimaced, "It’s poisoned!"

Mistress Nan launched another round of hidden weapons, this time including her poison-tipped flying darts.

Gu Xiaoshun wasn’t idle either. He took out a newly-made mechanism box and hurled it at the group in the courtyard!

"Xiaoshun!"

Master Lu quickly shut the door on one side and used his axe to shield Gu Xiaoshun and Mistress Nan.

Sounds of explosions followed as the door was riddled with holes.

Master Lu wiped his sweat and said to Gu Xiaoshun, "Next time you make hidden weapons, can you make ones that don’t harm us?"

Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head, "Oh."

He had made many, but only gave the one that didn’t hurt their own side to Gu Jiao.

The rest were all indiscriminate in their attacks.

The one just now was the latest; he hadn’t tested it yet.

"I thought it succeeded this time," he muttered.

Mistress Nan and Master Lu worked together to deal with the five men in the courtyard.

Mistress Nan looked at the black-clad men sprawled on the ground, frowned in puzzlement, "Only five? I thought I heard six breaths..."

"Ah—"

A scream came from the backyard.

Everyone’s faces changed, and they rushed towards the backyard!

When they got there, they found Gu Yan holding a stick, with a black-clad man lying unconscious on the ground, having been knocked out by him.

Everyone: "..."

"You, you knocked him out?" Gu Xiaoshun asked in disbelief.

Gu Yan puffed out his chest proudly, "Yes!"

Gu Xiaoshun couldn’t help but give Gu Yan a thumbs up, "Brother, I see you in a new light from now on."

"But," Gu Xiaoshun frowned, "if you knocked him out, why scream? I thought he did something to you!"

Gu Yan gripped the stick and said, "It adds more impact."

Gu Xiaoshun: "..."

Gu Yan’s success at attacking was purely because the man had triggered a trap in the backyard and inhaled the knockout gas scattered from the eaves.

While they were talking, a whistling sound suddenly came from the front yard, followed by fireworks bursting in the sky.
