At the banquet,
Red silk ribbons hung from the rafters throughout the hall, and tables of dishes were laid out in the main hall. What caught the eye were the jars of wine on the tables.
The crowd was drinking and having a drinking contest, creating a very lively scene!
At this moment, the leader put down his wine cup and suddenly spoke.
"Brothers, quiet down! Listen to me!"
After the leader shouted, the previously lively and noisy scene immediately fell silent!
The bandits below all stopped their frolicking and looked up in unison!
After the scene quieted down, the leader continued,
"Today is the big day of our second leader's wedding. And to my left is our second leader's husband, Mu Bai! From now on, he is one of our Black Wind Stronghold members!"
The leader pointed at Mo Qian and shouted to the bandits below.
"The second-in-command has found a husband, everyone has eaten and drunk well!" The first-in-command still had a happy look on his face, and his voice was full of joy.
"Good! Congratulations to the Second Leader on the birth of his husband!" the bandits below exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with excitement.
After he finished speaking, the scene returned to its previous lively state, with everyone drinking, playing drinking games, and eating meat with gusto, having a great time!
At this moment, Mo Qian was sitting up there, and sitting next to her was none other than the second leader of Black Wind Stronghold!
"Young Master Mu, this sweet and sour carp is quite good today, please try it."
The second-in-command used chopsticks to place a piece of fish on the plate in front of Mo Qian, his face slightly flushed, and said in a soft voice.
"Thank you, Second Master," Mo Qian said casually, her face carrying a hint of coldness.
"Young Master Mu, no need to be so polite. From today onwards, you will be my husband!" The second-in-command felt a little shy when he said this and quickly lowered his head.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qian didn't say anything, but simply poured a bowl of wine and handed it to the second-in-command beside her!
"Brother Mu Bai, today is your big day, let me toast you! From now on, we're all on the same side!"
The leader raised his wine bowl and addressed Mo Qian, his voice filled with pride.
"You're too kind, Boss." Mo Qian raised the wine bowl in her hand and waved it in the direction of the Boss, then secretly sent the wine into her spatial dimension through her sleeve!
"Very well, very well, today is my second sister's big day. I wish you a long and happy marriage and many children!" After saying that, the chief raised his wine bowl and drank another bowl!
"Brother Mubai, Juanniang, I wish you peace, joy, and eternal love!" The third leader of the local gang also raised his wine bowl and drank.
Mo Qian didn't say anything, but simply raised the wine bowl in her hand and pretended to drink it.
“Juan Niang thanks her elder brother and third brother!” The second-in-command also raised his wine bowl and drank.
After a while,
The leader suddenly felt dizzy. He shook his head, but the dizziness persisted.
He suddenly pinched his thigh hard with his hand, and shouted with a grim face.
"The drinks have been drugged! Stop it, everyone!" The voice was filled with anger!
"Ah! I've been drugged? Damn it!"
"My head is spinning, I..."
"I can't take it anymore, I'm so sleepy!"
...
The bandits below, having heard their leader's words, stopped drinking, but it was too late; they all collapsed!
Meanwhile, the third leader collapsed onto the table, smashing his wine bowl on the ground and spilling wine everywhere.
"Young Master Mu, how could you be so heartless!" The second-in-command struggled to stay upright, but after saying this, he too collapsed.
At this moment, only the head of the gang remained in the entire hall, stubbornly resisting the drowsiness!
He even went so far as to use a dagger at hand to cut several wounds on his legs!
"Mu Bai, it's you! Why?!" The leader stared at Mo Qian with a livid face, his voice a mixture of surprise and anger, causing his face to contort in extreme distress as he struggled to maintain his composure.
A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes!
"It's me!" Mo Qian stood up and looked directly at the leader, her voice tinged with indifference.
"The strange thing is, you just happened to run into me!" Mo Qian continued, her voice tinged with coldness.
"How did you do that?" the leader then posted, his voice filled with deep doubt.
When he felt dizzy and his head was spinning, he cut his leg with a knife!
"You don't need to know!" Mo Qian's eyes were cold and unwavering as she looked at the leader's current state.
"You! You deserve to die!" The leader was burning with rage. He stood up and tried to stab Mo Qian with the dagger in his hand!
However, after taking two or three steps, a strong dizziness knocked the leader unconscious, so that he didn't have time to stop him!
He collapsed to the ground, filled with resentment!
At this moment, apart from Mo Qian, there was no one standing in the entire hall!
After casually glancing at everyone present, Mo Qian walked straight out the door!
After leaving the main hall, I looked around and saw that the ground was covered with bandits!
The entire Black Wind Village is now completely silent!
After glancing at it, Mo Qian went straight to the chief's room.
After entering the chief's room, Mo Qian searched the room thoroughly!
From the moment Mo Qian learned that there was a gold mine in the back mountains, and the moment the bandits loaded the gold ore onto carts, she knew that something was not simple!
And the boss's room is the most likely place to find clues!
While searching for the large bed where the leader usually slept, Mo Qian touched a button on the inside of the bed!
A glint of light flashed in his eyes!
Then, I pressed it!
After pressing it, a "click-click" sound echoed in the bedroom!
Then, the large bed in front of Mo Qian was split in the middle and moved to both sides!
Then, an entrance leading underground was revealed!
When Mo Qian saw the cave entrance, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
Who would have thought that even a bandit leader would create this secret room!
Then, he picked up the tinderbox that he had found while searching the chief's bedroom earlier.
After lighting it, go down that staircase!
After walking for about half a cup of tea's time, Mo Qian reached the end.
Because it was pitch black all around, Mo Qian raised the tinderbox in her hand and shone it around!
There were boxes stacked together, and inside one of the open boxes on the ground, gold bricks were neatly arranged!
Some boxes were filled with pearls, jade, agate, and antiques!
Mo Qian roughly estimated that there were about twenty boxes in the entire secret room!
Besides that, the tinder that Mo Qian was holding illuminated the antique cabinet in the entire secret room!
Mo Qian approached the antique display case and carefully began searching.
When she touched a bump, Mo Qian rotated her hand to one side!
Then an opening was made in the hidden compartment of the cabinet!
Inside lay an account book and several letters!
