Fortunately, Liu Yong and Liu Gang appeared in time. If they had come a little later, Yun Ruoxi really couldn't guarantee what she would do because of her temper.
Now that they have a special identity, being able to go shopping in the city is already a luxury. If someone with ulterior motives discovers that they are exiled prisoners, it will probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The two best friends lost their good mood for shopping, so they returned to the inn, had a simple meal and then rested.
Mu Ruxue removed the silver hairpin from her hair, still muttering angrily, "This is so infuriating! I should have left this place earlier."
Yun Ruoxi suddenly opened her eyes. As the shadows of the trees swayed outside the window, a very light sound of tiles breaking pierced the night.
She turned over and sat up, and just as her fingertips touched the short blade beside the pillow, she smelled a faint sweet scent - it was incense!
"Xuexue!" Yun Ruoxi held her breath and pushed Mu Ruxue awake, but saw that her eyes were closed and her breathing was long, obviously she had been hit.
The entire inn was eerily quiet; even the night watchman's clappers stopped abruptly.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in cold water, and groped her way to the door along the corner of the wall. Through the crack in the door, she saw two dark shadows passing through the corridor, and the moonlight condensed into a cold light on the scimitars at their waists.
Suddenly a strong wind blew from above her head, and Yun Ruoxi rolled on the ground. A poisoned dart brushed past her ear and pierced into the wooden pillar.
There was a slight sound of tiles on the roof, and she threw out a silver needle with her backhand, but saw the black shadow evade it lightly, and when it landed, it turned out to be a thin man covered with a black scarf.
"Young lady, you have great skills."
The man sneered and threw out a fishing net from his sleeve, "Hand over your belongings obediently and I'll spare you—"
Before he finished speaking, a sound of breaking air suddenly arose.
Two figures in white came like ghosts, and the sword light and knife shadow collided, sparks flying.
The man in the lead had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. It was Xiao Jingrui. As he swept his sword across, the fishing nets shattered into pieces.
His twin brother Xiao Jingxuan swung out a soft whip, wrapped it around the ankle of another thief, and while using the force to jump into the air, he used the hidden weapon in his sleeve to accurately block the other thief's retreat.
The sound of fighting woke up everyone in the inn. The innkeeper rushed out holding an oil lamp, but was forced back by Xiao Jingrui's sword.
"If you don't want to die, stand back!"
He shouted, pressing the tip of his sword to the thief's throat.
On the other side, Jamel Xiao had already subdued the thin man and pulled off his black scarf. "Tell me, who ordered you to drug the inn?"
Yun Ruoxi took the opportunity to check on Mu Ruxue and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was just unconscious.
The martial arts skills of the two brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan are not to be underestimated. The two brothers cooperated and stopped the bandits in a few moves.
The rest of the matters were left to the two brothers to handle, and they directly handed the bandits over to the authorities.
Ever since entering Baisong County, Yun Ruoxi had a bad impression of this place. First, the county magistrate's daughter was arrogant and domineering, and now she encountered thieves in the inn.
No one would be in a good mood if they encountered such a thing.
Yun Ruoxi found the antidote in the space and gently placed it under Mu Ruxue's nose. After a while, she saw Mu Ruxue slowly waking up.
"What's wrong with me?"
Maybe the incense used was of low quality. When Mu Ruxue woke up, she had a severe headache. Yun Ruoxi handed her a water bag filled with Linquan water.
"You've been drugged. Stop talking for now. Drink some water and rest for a while. You'll be fine in a while."
Mu Ruxue's eyes widened in surprise. "How could this be? We haven't encountered any bandits when we've been out in the open, living in the wilderness. How could we possibly have encountered bandits after entering the county town? This is simply unrealistic."
Yun Ruoxi narrowed her eyes dangerously and said meaningfully, "Yeah, this is totally against common sense."
Brothers Liu Yong and Liu Gang were standing nearby. After hearing this, they respectfully said, "Miss, would you like me to go out and check?"
Yun Ruoxi shook her head slightly. "We have a special status now, so there's no need to create trouble on the road. No matter what happens in Baisong County, it has nothing to do with us. We will leave the city at dawn tomorrow."
Liu Yong and Liu Gang looked at each other, then stood respectfully behind Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue.
Mu Ruxue said with some concern: "If you say so, then the county magistrate of Baisong County is not a good person. What if Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan go to the county government to report the case and are bullied by the dog county magistrate?"
Yun Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat, and she was obviously worried, but she still tried to comfort him, "It shouldn't be like that. After all, he's the magistrate of Baisong County. I don't think he would be so blatant."
What Yun Ruoxi didn't say was that she also had a bad premonition in her heart, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
Perhaps because they were too worried, the two best friends did not go to bed early. Since they had already stayed up late, they simply waited for Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan to come back.
As a result, they waited for more than an hour and the two brothers still hadn't returned.
Now it's not just Mu Ruxue who is worried, even Xiao Jing and Zhao have sent people to ask several times.
Yun Ruoxi already had an idea in her mind, and she guessed that there was really something wrong with the county magistrate of Baisong County.
Seeing that he could raise his daughter like this, it was clear that the county magistrate was not much better.
But it was already late at night, and there were still two hours before they could leave the city the next morning. If they went to rescue now, they might not be able to wait until dawn for the city gates to open.
Moreover, if the people in the county magistrate's office were on guard, it would be difficult for so many of them to leave the city.
It is really easy to enter the city but difficult to leave!
At this time, the five brothers of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion also came to the room after receiving the news.
Seeing Yun Ruoxi pacing back and forth in the room worriedly, Yun Ruoyang suggested, "Sister, don't worry. Now that we know he's been taken to the county government office, we should find a way to rescue him. But after rescuing him, what should we do? This matter needs to be discussed carefully."
Yun Ruoxi turned to look at Liu Yong and Liu Gang, "You two brothers, go find a remote, empty yard where no one lives. Make sure there are few people around and that there are no people around."
Liu Yong and Liu Gang could probably guess that Miss was probably going to take out that magical plane again.
Yes, now that the city gates are closed, this is the only way to save people and leave Baisong County.
Yun Ruoxi turned to look at Yun Ruoyang, "Brother, we must rescue the people. However, the current county magistrate of Baisong County doesn't look like a good person. He has detained the people for so long. Maybe he is in cahoots with the thieves. If we just leave like this, won't we let them get away with it?"
Mu Ruxue said angrily, "That's right, even if we want to leave, we have to twist Bai Songxian into pieces, otherwise he will really think we are Hello Kitty and are easy to bully."
Yun Ruoyang nodded, "So what are your ideas and plans?"
