But what surprised him a little was that neither Yao, Shunyu nor Li Bai raised any objections, which made him doubt whether his previous guesses were valid.

Li Bai and Ding Zhenzong left this yard and went to another side room to rest according to what the servant said before, and came back to change shifts when the time came.

At this moment, only Yao Shunyu was left in the huge courtyard, and the eldest young master whose situation was unknown in the room. Since he entered the courtyard, there was no sound coming out of the room, and the silence did not feel like a bedroom. It's like a mourning hall.

There were two big lanterns hanging outside the room, the same as the outside, one red and one white, but the flame inside was almost burnt out or something, the light from the fire was so weak that it could almost be ignored.

Yao Shunyu raised his head and looked at the sky. The moon was obscured by dark clouds at some point, leaving only a vague outline. This is not a good omen.

Sighing, Yao Shunyu rubbed his face vigorously, and when he raised his head again, he seemed to be a different person both in terms of eyes and energy, and he walked towards the room with strides, and pushed open the door.

The room is relatively bright, with a few candles burning faintly. Yao, Shunyu's gaze slowly swept across. The layout inside is the same as before. The only difference is that the curtain in front of the bed has fallen down. Through the translucent blue curtain, you can see On the bed lay a figure.

The figure was naturally the Eldest Young Master. At this moment, the Eldest Young Master seemed to be asleep and motionless.

After reconfirming that there was nothing unusual in the room, Yao Shunyu turned around, closed the door as quickly as possible, then walked to the wooden table and found a place to sit down.

But he didn't expect that the moment he closed the door, the flame in the red lantern outside seemed to be blown, flickered a few times, and then suddenly extinguished.

Only a big white lantern was left swaying slightly under the night wind, and the huge inscription on it was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

Sitting at the table, Yao Shunyu calmed down to think, and learned from the previous servants’ narration that their task tonight was to guard the young master’s room, and they must ensure that there were people in the room at all times before dawn. An Wei didn't mention it. In other words, whether the young master is dead or alive doesn't affect the success of their mission.

All the three of them need to do is to ensure that someone stays in the room no matter what happens, and to survive as much as possible.

It was very rare in the previous missions not to guarantee the young master's life, so Yao Shunyu boldly judged that the young master will definitely die tonight, no matter what they do or do, they can't change the ending.

Or...Yao Shunyu raised his head and suddenly looked at the blurry figure behind the curtain, his vision became icy cold, or the young master was dead at this time, and what was lying on the bed was just a cold corpse.

If this is the case, then things will be troublesome. If a person dies, he has to guard the corpse. If the corpse does not lie tonight, he will be sorry for the difficulty of this mission.

Although confirming whether the young master is dead or alive will be of great benefit to the next task, Yao Shunyu still gave up this idea, and now he doesn't want to get close to that bed at all.

As time passed by, Yao Shunyu didn't dare to relax his vigilance. The candles in the room would flicker from time to time. His eyes became dry after a long wait and see. Just as he closed his eyes, he gently squeezed the sides of his nose with his hands Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence of the night, and Yao Shunyu's heart twitched violently.

Who will come to the door at this time?

Yao Shunyu calmed himself down and stared at the door without saying a word.

The door is a very old wooden door. Its structure looks like the Ming and Qing dynasties. There is a layer of door paper on it. The door paper is slightly yellowed. At the same time, a figure is clearly reflected on it. "Is Master Yao there? I am The young master's steward, we met just now, I'm here to deliver medicine to the young master, please open the door."

Yao Shunyu is familiar with this voice, and the owner of this voice, Yao Shunyu, has indeed seen it, but Yao Shunyu is not sure whether the shadow outside is really him.

"Ahem..."

There was a coughing sound on the bed, and the originally motionless figure slowly straightened his upper body, leaning on the bed with one arm, his body bent, and his voice sounded weak like a dying person, "Yes... it is Abin who is here, Keke..."

Abin who was outside also heard the voice inside, and knocked on the door more violently, "Eldest young master, it's me, I'm Abin, the second young master has an old ginseng, he specially asked the pharmacy to fry a portion, and sent it to the pharmacy. Come to you."

"Master Yao, what are you doing, why don't you open the door?" Abin's voice outside was full of puzzlement, and there was also a whine of complaints, in short, the emotions were very delicate.

But Yao, Shunyu was unmoved, the moment the eldest young master got up to talk to "Abin", he probably knew that the people outside were fake, how could there be such a coincidence?

Also, and most importantly, there is no moon tonight, and the lanterns outside also give people a half-dead feeling. Where does the light come from to cast the shadow of the future on the door paper?

"Master Yao, please go and open the door. People outside are here... to deliver medicine to me." Behind the curtain, the young master supported his body with one hand, looking very weak.

"Open the door! Open the door!" "Abin" outside was still making the last effort, and finally almost hit the door with his body.

Yao Shunyu had already experienced similar scenes many times~lightnovelpub.net~ so he didn't panic at all at first, he knew that as long as he didn't open the door, the "Abin" outside would definitely not be able to break in, but after a few seconds, A scene that he never expected happened, "Abin" actually forcefully opened the door a crack, pressed his face against the door, looked in with eyes full of jealousy, and stretched out a hand along the crack Come in, keep groping behind the door, as if trying to find the lock and open it to break in.

There was a buzzing in Yao Shunyu's head, and he immediately realized that the rules of this mission were different from those in the past. It wasn't that he could get through it safely as long as he saw through the identity of the other party and ignored it.

Breathing became short, Yao Shunyu forced himself to calm down, and as more and more arms penetrated, "Abin"'s face became more and more distorted. Finally, Yao Shunyu locked his eyes on the young master.

The young master stayed quietly on the bed, completely unresponsive to "Abin"'s abnormality, which was very strange.

Later, Yao Shunyu walked quickly to the bed, and tentatively reminded, "Young master, Abin is going to force his way into your room. He is just a servant, and he doesn't take you seriously."

The young master paused for a moment, and a weak voice came out of his throat, "Abin, he is here to deliver medicine to me, just open the door for him."

Taking a breath, Yao Shunyu paused every word: "But he is a fake, he is a ghost."
