Fang Qing was also surprised to see him come in.
Why did you come here?
Yin Sheng glanced discreetly at his trusted confidant standing beside him.
"I heard you were injured, so I came to check on you."
Fang Qing smiled as she spoke of this.
"You've heard about it, right? It was just a fall, nothing serious."
Yin Sheng glanced at the seventeen people in the courtyard, his expression changing slightly.
Are you wondering why I'm making such a big fuss?
Fang Qing asked him with a smile, and before he could answer, she said, "Of course, it's to trick you."
Yin Sheng's face turned ugly, and he instantly understood what was going on. He turned to leave, but Seventeen and the others blocked the doorway.
Yin Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, remaining calm even at this moment.
"This whole manor is now under my control. Do you think you can catch me with just your men?"
"They can't do it on their own, but what if the Mo family has a secret agency?"
Before Yin Sheng could react, a cage descended from the sky and covered him and his guards.
Fang Qing maintained a faint smile throughout.
The cage was made of bamboo. The guard drew his sword to cut the cage, but Fang Qing reminded him, "I advise you not to struggle. There is a large amount of deadly poison hidden inside this bamboo cage. You may not be afraid because of your high martial arts skills, but your master may not be so lucky."
Sure enough, the guard paused in his action of drawing his sword, and then sheathed it.
Fang Qing called out to Seventeen, who came in and tossed a pill to the guard through the cage.
"Eat it."
The guard's face was extremely pale as he looked at Yin Sheng.
Yin Sheng pursed his lips tightly.
He never expected that Fang Qing would outmaneuver him.
"Don't listen to her, break this cage."
Yin Sheng's guards hesitated.
"If you get out of this cage, are you confident you can get out of this door? Even if you get out of this door, you probably won't be able to leave this courtyard. To accommodate you, we've installed three traps in this courtyard, and this cage is the simplest and least dangerous one."
Fang Qing walked over and looked at Yin Sheng with a smile.
"Seventeen, open the cage."
"lady."
"fine."
Seventeen gave a hand signal to his subordinates, and the cage slowly rose. Yin Sheng's guards instantly drew their swords and pointed them at Fang Qing.
Seventeen stood beside Fang Qing, frowning as she looked at the master and servant.
"The cage is open. If you two don't believe me, you are welcome to continue walking out."
Fang Qing's expression at this moment looked smug to Yin Sheng.
A surge of anger welled up in his chest.
Fang Qing's men were almost all in this courtyard, so he had no leverage over Fang Qing at all.
He actually lost to this little girl.
How could Yin Sheng be content with this?
"Do you think you can leave this manor by capturing me? When I brought this group up the mountain, I gave them a death order: you must not leave here under any circumstances."
Fang Qing still smiled indifferently.
"Are you so sure these people will listen to you?"
What's the meaning?
Yin Sheng's brow twitched violently a few times, and the next moment a commotion came from outside.
Yin Sheng vaguely recognized the people who came; it seemed that he had arranged for them to monitor Fang Qing.
Even though she was his person, she was reporting the situation outside to Fang Qing.
"Your Highness, the guards on the west side have already eaten the steamed buns laced with sleeping pills and will be able to sleep for half an hour. When shall we set off down the mountain?"
Yin Sheng nearly vomited blood.
There was a traitor among them.
"You scoundrel, you're taking my master's money to work for someone else! You'll die a horrible death!"
Yin Sheng's guards glared angrily at Er Zhu and the others.
Erzhu had long been fed up with this humiliation, and now he was finally able to hold his head high and was not afraid of this person at all.
"What are you barking about? Yin Sheng has done such heinous things and you still want us to work for him? You're dreaming."
"You beasts and scum, if we continue to work for you, then we'll truly suffer a terrible death."
“You’re a lackey too. The County Princess has worked tirelessly for the people of Jiaozhou, and you’re still trying to harm her. I think your hearts are black.”
Yin Sheng, the guard, was so ridiculed by the crowd that he couldn't even speak.
"Now that things have come to this, are you going to cooperate with us, or do you want us to knock you out and take you away?" Fang Qing said to Yin Sheng.
Yin Sheng didn't want to choose either option, but now he had no choice but to make one.
“I’ll go with you, but you’ve released A-Dao.”
A Dao is the guard next to Yin Sheng.
"I'm afraid that won't do. Everyone knows this hero is your most capable subordinate. If I release him, what difference will it make if I release you?"
As she spoke, Fang Qing's gaze fell on the guard named A Dao.
"Take your medicine, or we can't guarantee your master will leave this manor unharmed."
Seeing that Yin Sheng had no further instructions, A Dao swallowed the pill that Seventeen had just given him.
Fang Qing was very satisfied and had Seventeen tie the two of them up.
Fang Qing then looked at Zhao Wuxia.
"The carriage is already outside, let's go."
Zhao Wuxia had no idea what was going on. She had just rushed over after hearing that Fang Qing was injured.
She followed Fang Qing out and got into the carriage.
Seventeen took Yin Sheng in the carriage behind, while A Dao collapsed after taking the pill, and the people from Fengyulou threw him to the back of the carriage like a sack of potatoes and tied him up.
They descended the mountain from the west.
By the time the people guarding the foot of the mountain realized something was wrong, Fang Qing and her group had already disappeared.
After descending the mountain, Fang Qing did not immediately head towards Yangzhou; instead, she went to the Jiaozhou government office.
She had been missing for the past few days, which had greatly worried Fang Dashu. He had been running to the yamen every day to have people search for Fang Qing's whereabouts. Now that he saw Fang Qing return safely, he and the people in the yamen breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened? I heard Yin Sheng isn't dead?" Fang Dashu asked.
Fang Qing nodded and briefly told him about Yin Sheng's plan to use her to make things difficult for Zhao Shi'an.
"Now that Yin Sheng is in my hands, I have already sent him to Yangzhou. I've come here to tell you that I'm leaving things here to you, and I'm going to Yangzhou to find Zhao Shi'an."
"Why are you going to Yangzhou when it's so dangerous?" Fang Dashu asked anxiously.
"I have my reasons, anyway, I'll leave things to you here."
"I haven't had much trouble, but you... never mind, I can't make decisions for you anyway, so you just need to be careful."
Fang Qing patted his shoulder.
"Actually, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with."
"explain."
"I cannot take Gao Ren's mother with me on this trip to Yangzhou."
Fang Dashu understood what Fang Qing meant when she said that.
"Okay, I know, I will take good care of her."
Thank you.
Fang Qing said goodbye to Master Qian again, then went home to pack a few things and hurriedly set off again.
Because she didn't know if anyone would be blocking her way, Fang Qing took the waterway.
The day before boarding the ship, Fang Qing sent a letter to Zhao Shi'an, asking him to have his men meet her at the dock.
The weather was perfect for sailing these past few days, and even with the detour, they arrived in Yangzhou in less than five days.
