Chapter 81 The Second Test

The sanitary conditions in the prisons of the Republic of China were indeed quite poor.

Liu Jianan wiped the sticky bed board with his sleeve in disdain: "It was a mistake. We should have asked that Qi to improve our accommodation conditions before moving in."

Duan Haiping laughed and said: "You think of it as a trip. It's good to have a place to stay."

Indeed, the old guy was very smart. He would definitely do things without any leaks and would not give people a handle.

The cooperation that Liu Jianan discussed with him was to ask Qi Yuandao to let Qin Yue and the others go, and to guarantee that he would not implicate other people.

As a condition, he and Xiao Duan would stay in prison for two days, and wait for Qi Yuandao to hand them over to other departments, and then they would take the opportunity to escape from prison.

At first, Liu Jianan was also worried. After all, no one knew whether this old man would abide by the agreement.

Qi Yuandao vowed that he would not break the contract. By then, he had learned about the experience of the Zhao brothers and knew that the two children in front of him were people he could not afford to offend.

Qi Yuandao had an advantage. He never thought highly of himself.

He was very sincere when negotiating with Liu Jianan, and even Duan Haiping could not see the problem.

So they reached a cooperation. Liu Jianan had no doubt that he could escape. With Xiao Duan's ability to control metal, no matter how heavily guarded the cage was, they could not be trapped.

Not many outsiders knew about this matter. Only Qin Yue and Qin Lingyue, as the last link in the plan, Liu Jianan told them the details of the cooperation.

They agreed to meet outside the city at dawn the day after tomorrow.

After this incident, Liu Jianan realized that the existence of himself and Xiao Duan might bring danger to Xiaoyue.

He decided to leave Qingcheng temporarily, and after the storm was over, he would come back and find a way to fulfill Xiaoyue's wish.

"Go to bed, or I'll peel off your skin!"

The prison guard shouted loudly.

The number of candles allocated to each cell was limited, basically one every ten days or half a month, so the prisoners cherished these candles very much and tried not to use them if possible.

But Liu Jianan didn't have such concerns. He looked at the flickering candle and said, "I didn't expect that I would go to jail with you for the first time in my life."

Duan Haiping raised one eyebrow and said, "Who else would you like to go to jail with?"

Liu Jianan said with a smile, "If possible, I hope not to go to jail."

Duan Haiping said, "Then why do you have to cooperate with him? We can kill them before they take action. I have the ability to do so."

"What about after killing them?" Liu Jianan asked back, "Wandering around with Qin Lingyue?"

Duan Haiping was speechless for a moment. This must be the consequence of a killing spree.

"Nowadays, the warlords are divided and wars are frequent. They may not be able to find us." He said disapprovingly.

Liu Jianan sighed: "But a life of wandering and hiding one's identity, is that what Qin Lingyue wants?"

"Don't forget, our ultimate goal is to make Xiaoyue realize her wish, so we must create a comfortable environment and a rich life for her."

If they really do it, killing her will be fun, but what will they do in the future?

Duan Haiping fell silent and had to admit that Liu Jianan was right.

After all, they are not people living in this era.

So they don't have to care about the secular world, don't have to follow the rules, and don't have to care about the life and death of others.

Qin Lingyue is different. Her roots are here, she has her own thoughts, and everything about her is closely connected with this era.

"I don't like it here."

Duan Haiping said sullenly.

Liu Jianan felt the same way.

This era is just like the prison they are in, depressing and dark.

Even if there is the light of candles, there will be countless hands trying to destroy it and prevent its light from escaping this iron window.

...

Time quickly came to the night of the day after tomorrow.

Duan Haiping controlled the door lock to automatically fall off, and the two walked out of the cell, only to see that the prison was empty.

The prison guards who usually checked the cells, and even the prisoners in the cell, all disappeared.

"It seems that Qi Yuandao has arranged everything," Liu Jianan was slightly relieved, "Let's go, we'll go outside the city."

According to the agreement, the city gate will quietly leave a gap for them in the early morning.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the city gate, they saw that there was no one guarding the city gate.

The city gate was open.

The two men pushed open the city gate, but what greeted them was a barrage of wooden arrows.

Liu Jianan hurried back to the city gate, but he didn't expect that a group of well-equipped troops had been lying in ambush for a long time in the city.

"I've heard that you have the ability to control metal, so this time, all our weapons are replaced with wooden ones, so you can't escape even if you have wings."

The leader must be the leader of Qi Yuandao.

Liu Jianan didn't know whether Qi Yuandao betrayed them or the news leaked.

At this point, it was meaningless to pursue responsibility. He had to find a way to escape from Qingcheng, otherwise he and Xiao Duan would have to die here.

"Come on, take them down!"

With the order from the leader, everyone rushed towards Liu Jianan and Duan Haiping.

Liu Jianan's brain was working rapidly. Without metal, Xiao Duan's ability could not be brought into play.

There were archers outside the city gate, but compared to the inside of the city, the defense was relatively weak.

"Xiao Duan, hold me tight."

Liu Jianan said, and turned into a puppy in Duan Haiping's arms, and at the same time stimulated his induction ability to the extreme.

His induction ability can weaken other people's perception of them, but it can only cover half of Xiao Duan at most.

So at the moment when Xiao Duan rushed out of the city gate, he kept releasing small light balls, using strong light to block their figures.

"Brother Xiao Duan, catch it!"

Qin Lingyue threw the dagger in his hand with all his strength, and was then quickly taken back to a hidden place by Qin Yue and hidden.

That's enough.

Duan Haiping's eyes showed a faint blood color as he controlled the dagger and killed his way into the encirclement. Wherever the dagger passed, it would cut off the throat with one blow.

Liu Jianan regained his human form and took Duan Haiping to the horse using floating. No need to guess, the horse outside the city was the one he bought from the groom.

"Old man, it's up to you."

He grabbed the reins and rode out of the encirclement with Duan Haiping.

Looking at the two people going away, Qin Lingyue burst into tears: "Uncle, they will be safe, right?"

Qin Yue gently stroked her hair: "If this is Xiaoyue's wish, then they will definitely be."

"My wish?"

Little Qin Lingyue didn't know what a wish was.

She wanted to eat candied haws, climb the moon, and sleep with the stars.

But no matter which wish it was, it was not as strong as the hope that Brother An An and Brother Duan would leave safely at this moment.

"Xiaoyue hopes they will be fine."

"Those bad guys should not take Brother An'an and Brother Xiaoduan away. They will buy Tanghulu for Xiaoyue. They saved Uncle Qin Yue. They are good people."

As the childish voice fell, everything around began to slowly dissipate.

There was no moonlight, no sound of wind, and the scene changed rapidly.

Soon, Liu Jianan found himself in the wedding hall.

The old woman's voice rang: "Congratulations on passing the first test, the second test is open."

"Please help Qin Lingyue marry her sweetheart."
