Following the maid's directions, Su Yan arrived at the entrance of the water dungeon.
There are guards at the entrance, so it doesn't look like you can easily sneak in.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yan decided to head back home first and discuss a plan with Shen Yao before she could rescue Losang.
Just as she was about to leave, a staggering guard emerged from the entrance of the water dungeon, seemingly drunk.
The guard seemed to have drunk too much and was in a hurry to urinate. As soon as he came out, he heard the guard at the door teasing him, "Ule, you kid, stop thinking about gambling. You'll be on guard duty soon."
"When am I going to run away? Can't I at least take a piss first?!"
After saying that, the guard unbuckled his belt and walked toward the corner of the wall.
Seeing this, Su Yan decided that the time had come. She quietly crept up behind the guard, knocked him unconscious, dragged him into the shadows, and took off his clothes to put on herself.
The guard was not tall, and Su Yan's clothes fit her quite well. As she was about to walk towards the gate of the water dungeon, she suddenly realized something.
He immediately squatted down, dug up the dirt from the ground, and smeared it all over his face, so that at least no one would notice at a glance.
After getting ready, Su Yan pretended to be drunk, fastening her belt as she walked towards the gate.
Because it was dark and people couldn't see each other's features clearly, the guards laughed and mocked Su Yan when they saw her walking over, assuming she had just tripped and fallen.
"Ule, did you fall into the latrine?"
Su Yan didn't answer them. Instead, she pretended to be very drunk and stumbled into the room.
"Hahahaha... Ule, you can't drink that much, just drink less. Look at you, you can't even walk steadily now..."
The guards at the door just laughed at Su Yan for being unable to hold her liquor, without noticing anything amiss.
If you pay close attention, you'll notice that Su Yan and the real Wule are quite different; one is rather thin, while the other has a large belly and a thick waist.
Su Yan was surprised that she could fool the guards at the door so easily.
Upon arriving at the water dungeon, the dim candlelight stretched the passageway into a long, dark place, growing colder and colder the further one went in.
The water dungeon seemed to be built underground. Soon, around a corner, Su Yan heard a noisy commotion.
Su Yan peeked out from the base of the wall and saw two or three guards gambling. A few steps away was a deep pit of water where Losang was hanging, with only his shoulders and head showing.
Luo Yan is truly ruthless; he wants to force Losang to his death in this way.
In such a cold and damp environment, Losang would die of hypothermia within two nights.
Su Yan didn't have time to think too much; the most urgent thing was to rescue Losang.
Su Yan came up with a brilliant plan. She pretended to be drunk and stumbled over to the guards.
While the others were focused on gambling and not paying attention to her actions, she secretly put the drug into the wine jar.
Then, feigning sleepiness, he poured everyone a bowl of wine, then curled up in a corner and lay down, snoring.
The guards didn't notice at all; after winning money, they picked up the wine beside them and drank it all in one gulp.
A short while later, under the influence of the drug, the guard collapsed to the ground.
After hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground, Su Yan got up and walked towards the guards.
This sleeping potion is used to make cows unconscious; it'll probably keep the guards asleep for days.
Su Yan crouched down and searched the guard for the key.
A short while later, Su Yan found the key, jumped into the water without hesitation, and swam towards Losang.
At this moment, Losang felt weak and his vision was blurry. He could only see a dark shadow swimming towards him. He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't muster any strength.
Su Yan swam to Losang and found that his condition was quite serious and his consciousness was beginning to become confused. She quickly untied the iron chains binding his wrists.
Once the chains were removed, Losang lost his balance and fell towards Su Yan.
Su Yan reacted quickly, grabbing him and pulling him towards the shore with all her might.
The water wasn't very deep, only up to Su Yan's waist. The reason it didn't go past Losang's shoulders was because he was kneeling in the water.
After dragging Losang ashore, Su Yan fed him a pill, but then she was in a dilemma.
She wasn't like Shen Yao, who possessed immense strength; he couldn't possibly carry Losang out of the Luo residence by himself.
There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released. Su Yan crouched down and patted Losang's cheek. "Losang, wake up... wake up quickly..."
Perhaps because Su Yan had given him the medicine, Losang gradually regained some of his senses.
When he recognized Su Yan, he looked somewhat surprised. "It's you..."
Su Yan had no time to reminisce with Losang and interrupted him directly, saying, "Can you still walk now? I can't carry you out by myself."
Losang nodded, forcing himself to stay awake, "I'm fine..."
After saying that, Losang got up from the ground, but his steps were unsteady and he couldn't stand up without anyone helping him.
Without thinking much, Su Yan took Losang's arm and walked towards the door.
There were two guards outside the door, but Su Yan could easily handle them on her own.
Although her martial arts skills are rudimentary, she excels at surprise attacks.
Su Yan put down Losang, quietly crept up behind the guard, and decisively knocked him unconscious. By the time the other guard reacted, she had already sprinkled her specially made poison.
This drug is called 'zombie poison'. After inhaling the powder, one becomes completely immobile, stiff like a zombie, unable to move anything except the eyes.
The guards lost their ability to move upon smelling the poison and could only watch helplessly as she took Losang away.
Having learned from their previous experience, Su Yan led Losang back to the abandoned mansion. Although it was somewhat strenuous, they escaped unharmed.
It was late at night when we left the Luo residence.
Not long after Su Yan left, the Luo residence was thrown into chaos. When the guards changed shifts, they discovered that Luo Sang was gone.
Meanwhile, Qinglong, having finished drinking at the brothel and returning to the mountain, was humming a little tune.
When he reached the cave entrance, he found no one there, and a strong stench of blood permeated the surroundings.
Qinglong instantly became cautious and subconsciously reached for the fan in his arms.
He felt a murderous aura coming towards him from behind. When Qinglong turned around, he found that Shen Yao was standing right behind him.
Although Shen Yao was not wearing a mask, Qinglong still recognized his eyes.
"So it was you..."
Qinglong was surprised to encounter Shen Yao again. A smile crept onto his lips as he coldly asked, "Did you kill all my men?"
Although the moonlight was dim, the Azure Dragon could still see the corpses lying haphazardly on the ground by the candlelight.
It's hard not to guess what happened.
Moreover, given that Shen Yao escaped from his grasp last time, Qinglong's drunkenness has also sobered up.
Even if tens of thousands more people died, it wouldn't stir up the slightest ripple in Qinglong's heart. But being able to spar with his opponent filled him with joy and excitement that was about to burst forth.
Qinglong looked at Shen Yao with barely suppressed joy, his eyes shining brightly.
