Chapter: 5166
On the other side of the earth, Yanjing.
A girl around 17 or 18 years old, with a slender and tall figure, a pure face like water, was walking quickly down a traditional alley in Yanjing.
At this moment, Yanjing was at its most quietest, which would normally be the busiest time of day, filled with smoke and fireworks.
But this deep alley seemed abnormally quiet, without any street stalls or vendors, not even a single pedestrian to be seen.
The girl took steps towards the deepest part of the alley, where the end of the alley was a very grand five-door three-arch gate.
What is known as the five-door three-arch gate refers to a width of five rooms and three large doors, which is a standard for royal palaces in feudal societies.
And this innermost residence is actually the mansion of a prince from the Qing dynasty.
The main gate of the five-door three-arch gate stood about 3.4 meters tall, with bronze hinges on top, exuding an extraordinary aura.
On both sides of the gate were massive stone lions, carved with dignified and majestic grandeur.
As the girl walked to about three-quarters of the way, two middle-aged men suddenly emerged from nowhere, dressed in casual attire.
These two middle-aged men were robust and had a stern expression; one look told you they weren't ordinary people.
The two men blocked the girl's path, with one of them saying, "Young miss, this is a private residence. Don't go any further."
The girl was being held back by these two burly men, but she wasn't afraid at all. She simply said, "Trouble tells you that my home master has said to say Lin Wan'er came to visit and there's something to discuss with him."
When the man heard that Lin Wan'er wanted to see his own home master, he furrowed his brow instantly and asked in a cold voice, "What kind of person are you?!"
Lin Wan'er replied calmly, "I've said it. I'm Lin Wan'er. You don't need to ask me so many questions here. I know you all have strict guards and gunpowder everywhere. Today, I came to pay a visit in person. You just need to pass the message along, and your home master will come out to receive me personally."
The man scolded, "You're a crazy little girl! Do you know who lives inside here?!"
Lin Wan'er raised an eyebrow involuntarily but spoke calmly, as if nothing was amiss: "You don't need to waste so many words in front of me. I only need you to pass along the message. Lin Wan'er is just three characters and not poison or explosives. It won't affect your responsibilities protecting him. But if you refuse to transmit the message and delay important matters, Master Sun will take responsibility, and as a bodyguard, can you bear it?"
The burly man didn't expect Lin Wan'er, just a little girl, to have such unyielding confidence and self-assurance in front of him, not to mention the kind of air that made her seem completely in control. This even made him feel uneasy in his heart.
Moreover, she actually called out the old master's name, which was even more startling and frightening, causing him to wonder about this girl's true intentions.
He exchanged a glance with one of his colleagues, who gave him a subtle nod, after which he immediately understood the situation and turned around, walking back several meters before speaking into the microphone on his belt: "Please report to the master that there is a young lady named Lin Wan'er waiting to see him, and please have the master decide."
The voice in his earpiece replied, "You're crazy? A little girl wants to see the master, and you're daring me to transmit this message?"
The burly man urged, "Don't waste so many words! This little girl seems like she's not simple, hurry up and report it!"
The other person heard these words and no longer hesitated, simply passing on the instruction: "If the master is displeased, don't expect me to take the blame for you."
A few minutes later...
The door in the middle of the five-hinged gate was pushed open from inside. JrNovels.com
