His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Yao Ying nodded his head. "I know. What do you want me to do?" He asked in a whisper.

"Can you sneak out from here and find them?" Yao Ling asked curiously. They needed to do this if they wanted their plan to work.

"I suppose I can, but I probably need Lin Jian’s help. When I talk to them, I need someone to guard the perimeter --- just to be on the safe side," Yao Ying answered confidently. Although he could feel there were so many hidden guards, their level wasn’t that high --- probably because they were confident with their numbers. Not only that, but they also had so many ordinary guards around. Why should they afraid of mere commoners?

They couldn’t do this all alone because they were in the enemy’s territory. Honestly, he didn’t know the layout of this palace at all. Blindly going out would be dangerous, even if he was stronger than most of the guards here.

Lin Jian heard his name was mentioned when he passed by the couple, thus, he decided to come to them. "What happened? Why do you need my help?" He asked curiously from behind them which made the couple jump up in surprise. Lin Jian felt curious because he didn’t know Yao Ling’s plan. Didn’t they already have a sound plan? Was there a change at the last minute? That was the thought that fleeted inside Lin Jian’s mind.

Yao Ying explained everything to him about what Yao Ling had seen, even though Yao Ying knew that Lin Jian must have known about it. He just didn’t want Yao Ling to feel embarrassed and Yao Ying also told Lin Jian Yao Ling’s new plan in details.

Lin Jian frowned and asked, "What kind of weapon is that? Give us the description! I want to know whether it’s a real weapon or just a prop for their performance..." It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Yao Ling’s judgment, but he just needed more assurance, because the plan was a bit too risky.

Yao Ling blushed when she heard the question. It made her remember Yao Ying’s lewd words after she had described the weapon to him, so how could she repeat the explanation once again? She would die in embarrassment ah~! What if Lin Jian thought of the same thing as Yao Ying?

"It’s... it’s..." Yao Ling answered in hesitation while her face was as red as tomatoes. She finally gave up, "I will just let Yao Ying explain it to you! He speaks better than me." She added the last reason, so it would appear more reasonable.

Lin Jian saw Yao Ling’s red face and felt confused when he suddenly remembered why she was being so shy and he almost choked on his own laughter. That conversation was too funny ah~! However, he wouldn’t deliberately embarrass Yao Ling and could only swallow back his own laughter. Lin Jian still respected Yao Ling ah~!

Yao Ying wasn’t that oblivious and he seemed to know that Lin Jian heard their conversation, thus, he decided to take charge at explaining the details just like how Yao Ling had explained to him before. Soft and suddenly became hard... He warned Lin Jian with his eyes so that the latter wouldn’t talk any nonsense.

"When the weapon was hard... how did it look like?" Lin Jian tried to ask them with a straight look, however, a slight crack in his voice and his slightly curling up lips betrayed him. After all, he found this explanation really funny ah~!

Yao Ling blushed and answered honestly, "It’s just like a normal sharp sword." She didn’t dare to look at Lin Jian’s face just in case she would reveal her embarrassment, so she didn’t know Lin Jian’s expression, otherwise, she would know that the latter had known everything from the beginning.

"How about when it was soft?" Lin Jian asked once again in a serious expression. Inwardly, he thought of Yao Ying’s joke which almost made him lose control and want to chuckle, but he knew that it wasn’t really appropriate to do it here.

Yao Ling bit her lower lips and answered, "I couldn’t see it clearly but I could see that the man put it on his waist and it disappear inside his clothing. There was no sign of anything hard poking out from his clothing..."

When Lin Jian listened to the last part, he almost fell down and laughed while rolling on the ground. ’Something hard... poking out from his clothing?!’ This... this description was a bit...

Yao Ying had the same thought but he glared at Lin Jian. If it was only him, it was okay ah~! After all, Yao Ling was her wife and it was alright for him to tease her. If Lin Jian dared to tease her... he would really kick his butt!

When Lin Jian saw Yao Ying’s sharp gaze, he quickly sobered up. He knew that the latter started to get serious --- it was time to go back to their business. If he said something more about ’the weapon’, Yao Ying would definitely kill him ah~!

Lin Jian pondered over a little bit, thinking about what kind of weapon it was. He loved weapons, thus, he collected so many weapons all around the kingdom. He seemed to have remembered having this type of weird weapon in his collection, but he didn’t have the chance to try it.

"Ying, do you remember my weapon collection?" Lin Jian decided to ask Yao Ying --- just to make sure that he made the right guess.

"Mmm... I think I remember that you have one with the same description," Yao Ying answered. However, if people didn’t have a good inner qi, it would be hard to control and use this weapon ah~! He started to think that those two men must have been an expert and wondered why they had to bring it out just before they would be inspected by the palace guards.

Lin Jian explained the part that made Yao Ling confused, "That weapon can become a belt as well and that supposes to be the reason why it vanished inside the man’s clothing. People would need to use their inner qi to turn it into a proper weapon and an ordinary guard won’t be able to notice the importance of this weapon."

Yao Ling nodded her head in understanding, and at the same time, felt relieved because she didn’t actually make an error of judgment. It was indeed a weapon ah~!

"How do you think of my plan?" Yao Ling asked Lin Jian, Yao Ying, and Xiao Fang. The latter joined them a bit later because she was busy checking out the tent and organizing the preparation, but she already got the gist of Yao Ling’s plan.

Lin Jian nodded his head and answered, "It’s feasible. However, we will need Xiao Fang’s help too."

"Me? What can I do?" Xiao Fang asked in confusion while pointing at herself.

"Do you remember the palace’s layout?" Lin Jian asked. "We need it. After all, we have never been here before. But you have been here so many time, so you should be able to remember it, right?" Lin Jian had the same thought as Yao Ying.

Xiao Fang nodded her head. "I remember, however, I rarely go to this side of the palace. I always came in here through the front gate and merely stayed at Han Xiang’s courtyard or the garden." Then, she remembered something, "My maidservants should have remembered it better than me. They used to go around here because this place seems to be near the kitchen. However, I need to ask them just to be sure."

Thus, she called over one of her first-rank maidservants and quickly asked her whether she could draw the layout of this place. Xiao Fang chose the clever one and very clever at drawing, fortunately, that maidservant was able to draw a detailed map of the surrounding area.
