At this moment, the men in black realized that they had not only been careless, but had also been courting death.
If they had known that Zhao Qingzhu was so skilled in martial arts, they would never have come here tonight to court death and make a fool of themselves.
Of course, this was something that was hard to predict, although they concluded from previous events that one of the two people was highly skilled in martial arts.
But they never expected her martial arts skills to be so high. They sent four experts, but they couldn't even last a few rounds against Zhao Qingzhu. It was simply unimaginable.
These men in black even believed that even if all their behind-the-scenes experts joined forces, they would still be no match for Zhao Qingzhu. Therefore, assassinating Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu seemed to be an impossible mission.
At the same time, they realized that thinking about these things was somewhat superfluous in the current situation, because what they needed to care about at the moment was how to escape.
Zhao Qingzhu knocked them all to the ground and slowly pointed her longsword at them.
They all understood that escaping was absolutely impossible under these circumstances; anyone who tried to escape could be easily killed by Zhao Qingzhu.
The key point is that there was a man sitting on the bed, and that man did not make any movement or reaction from beginning to end.
If a woman is this powerful, wouldn't a man be even more powerful?
The thought that arose in their minds naturally frightened them so much that they dared not react.
Zhu Yunwen stood up at this moment, looked at the several men in black on the ground, and then said:
Which side do you belong to?
The men in black looked at each other and remained silent, all trying to figure out how to escape.
Seeing that they chose to remain silent, Zhu Yunwen did not speak. He had Zhao Qingzhu tie them up and then lay down on the bed to go to sleep.
Zhu Yunwen's actions left not only the four men in black bewildered, but also Zhao Qingzhu.
Clearly, they didn't know what was going on with Zhu Yunwen. Weren't they supposed to ask these people some questions? Why aren't they answering?
And how can you even fall asleep in this situation?
Of course, in Zhao Qingzhu's view, everything Zhu Yunwen did made sense, so he chose not to ask. He then tied up the men, stuffed a wad of cloth into their mouths, and then lay down on the bed, ready to take a good nap.
Then the room fell silent, and the men in black were completely dumbfounded.
They didn't expect that if they didn't speak, the other party wouldn't ask any more questions, and even stuffed something into their mouths to block them from speaking.
This made them feel inexplicably flustered, wondering why things weren't going according to plan.
Normally, shouldn't we keep asking them questions, playing psychological games, and using threats and inducements?
How could this matter be resolved so easily with just a casual question?
This, in turn, made them feel like they wanted to say something but were holding back, and at the same time, they felt inexplicably flustered and couldn't see through Zhu Yunwen's scheme.
Time passed slowly, one hour, two hours. Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu slept soundly. The four men in black were tied up and their mouths were gagged, so they could neither move nor speak.
I endured that agonizing night, and my mental defenses nearly crumbled.
The next morning at daybreak, Zhu Yunwen stretched comfortably, then looked at the four bound men in black and said:
"You guys didn't sleep all night, you're really good at staying up."
The four men in black were speechless. They were tied up here and had no idea what their fate would be. Who could sleep?
Moreover, the mental torment inflicted by Zhu Yunwen was causing them immense suffering, so who could possibly sleep?
Zhu Yunwen didn't say much, and after washing up with Zhao Qingzhu, he said to her:
“Tie them together with a rope, then take them out to the yamen and let the officials there explain to us what’s going on.”
Zhao Qingzhu nodded and found a rope. Just as Zhao Qingzhu was looking for the rope, the cloths were removed from the mouths of the men in black, so they were no longer afraid of them talking.
One of the men in black said to the others in black:
“If they send us to the yamen (government office), exposing our appearance and identities to the public, neither the yamen nor the people behind us will keep us alive. So we need to think of a way…”
The other masked men in black hurriedly asked:
"But how are we supposed to escape? We're tied up so tightly, there's no chance we can run away!"
The masked man in black, who was in the lead, said:
"We can only look for an opportunity. He's going to take us to the yamen. We'll play it by ear. You guys will have to watch my mood."
These words stunned the other masked men in black. They looked closely at the leader, and then one of them spoke up:
"Boss, you're wearing a mask, how am I supposed to read your expression and act accordingly?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Soon Zhao Qingzhu returned and tied them all together with a rope. Then, holding the end of the rope, she went out the door and followed Zhu Yunwen down the inn.
In the morning, many of the guests staying at the inn were having their meals downstairs.
Because the waiter had an accident, the manager himself was at the front desk doing some trivial tasks.
When everyone saw Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu walking out with someone bound, they were all stunned. The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said:
