Chapter Forty-Six: Planning and Conspiracy



The man, his voice trembling, ordered those outside, "You all step back. We're playing with the young lady. No matter what noises we hear later, don't come in."

"yes."

The deputy general led a group of men away, for they dared not disturb the leaders' enjoyment.

Xu Yuehuai breathed a sigh of relief after everyone had left.

She then went on a killing spree. Before the general could even react, the bound grasshoppers around him were already dead, and the room was instantly filled with blood. As for Xu Yuehuai...

She killed with great gusto.

The general was terrified, and a stream of hot urine flowed freely down his trouser leg.

"You just promised you wouldn't kill me."

“Just now,” Xu Yuehuai laughed, “things have changed. I didn’t say I was going to kill you. I just wanted to tie you up and see how your fate would be. I’ll set this place on fire to destroy the evidence. If you’re lucky, you can leave smoothly. Oh dear, don’t look at me like that. It’s making me feel embarrassed, hehehe.”

Xu Yuehuai quickly tied the man up.

Immediately afterwards, they tied up a large pile of corpses and threw them aside.

And then the flames were indeed lit.

The flames quickly ignited, and the woolen blankets on the ground burst open at the sight of sparks. In no time, the entire tent and the camp were ablaze.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly approached.

But when you got closer, the place was already engulfed in flames.

The flames leaped, twisted, and twitched.

It was breathtaking to watch.

At this moment, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guzhe had arrived at their destination.

The two looked at each other, and Xu Yuehuai pointed over there, "I put it there, what about you? Did you kill anyone tonight?"

"How could that be? I'm a weak man who can't even kill a chicken, let alone kill one."

But Xu Yuehuai knew perfectly well that he must have also started bleeding.

They both laughed heartily.

Back at the mine, everyone was fast asleep. When Ah Qi saw Xu Yuehuai return, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Grandma, you...you're back."

"Go to sleep."

The next morning, news of the camp fire had spread like wildfire and was known to everyone.

However, many versions of the details about the fire have emerged. Some say the fire fell from the sky, while others say that hidden spies were lying in ambush in the camp, which caused the commotion. But the deputy generals and generals who escaped death were terrified. From then on, everyone was cautious and fearful.

In the afternoon, Xu Yuehuai took advantage of the situation to steal some silver and food, and asked Aqi to deliver them to Zhou Wan.

Zhou Wan has been getting a good rest lately.

They have no worries about food and clothing.

As a result, her physical condition has improved a lot. Back then, Xu Yuehuai abused Zhou Wan every day, causing her to become pale and thin. Now, Zhou Wan is radiant.

She looked at Ah Qi and said, "Mother is really capable of getting so much food?"

"Grandma is unique, and now that she's working with Brother Qi, they'll be able to rescue the suffering miners soon."

"Miners?" Zhou Wan's expression changed instantly, and the money in her hand fell to the ground. "What kind of workers?"

Before leaving, Aqi had been warned by Xu Yuehuai not to tell Zhou Wan about this matter, lest she worry. When he thought of this, Aqi became evasive.

"Anyway," he thought to himself, avoiding the main point, "it's all the same old stuff, you'll find out in the future. Alright, alright, I've delivered the things and I need to go back now, there's no time to lose."

"Hey, you..."

Zhou Wan was about to ask more questions when A Qi was about to leave, but Zhou Wan, with her quick eyes and hands, caught her.

Ah Qi turned around, "Mother also told me to remind you."

"What?"

"Whispering."

Ah Qi is keeping us in suspense.

Zhou Wan could only let go and bring her ear closer. A Qi said, "Be careful of Liu Cuiming and Zhou Qionghua lately. Those two are wicked."

“I understand,” Zhou Wan said. She wanted to ask more about the miners, but Ah Qi had already left with a giggle. Watching Ah Qi disappear from sight, Zhou Wan was speechless.

On the other hand, Xu Yuehuai had made perfect preparations.

Now that they had finished eating, the miners in District 13 who had been causing trouble gathered together, and everyone's attention was focused on Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai.

Xu Yuehuai said succinctly, "Now, we just need to do our best to leave. As long as you follow my instructions, you will definitely be able to leave."

Everyone glanced at Qi Guze with concern.

Xu Yuehuai then introduced in a serious tone, "This person is an imperial envoy of the court and also an imperial censor who is touring this area. He has remembered your tragic experiences. Now he is in charge of coordinating from the inside and outside. We only need to escape from Longshou Mountain, and someone will come to meet us. In the future, you will also need to bring out evidence and clues, etc. How about it?"

Everyone nodded hurriedly and said, "We understand."

The atmosphere was already set. Qi Guze looked down at everyone and said, "Let's not delay any longer. Things might change if we wait too long. Let's leave this afternoon."

As arranged by Xu Yuehuai, some disturbance was needed before the evacuation, and setting fires was essential. The time for everyone to escape was chosen to be during the shift change at dusk.

At this moment, everyone was filled with anxiety. Those who had worked all day were eager to go home, while those taking over were dawdling. She had observed this carefully beforehand, and this was definitely the best opportunity to escape.

Deploy immediately.

"Will we die out there?"

Some people held their heads and sighed.

Xu Yuehua nodded. "This plan has been brewing for half a month, but it's not perfect or foolproof. We'll find out by trying it out."

Old Ma sneered, stood up impatiently and said, "It's not like being imprisoned here is such a big deal. In the end, it's still worse than death. It's better to take a break. Don't you miss your families, relatives and friends?"

Upon hearing this, someone burst into tears, crying out, "Mother, I miss you so much!"

"Wife, my wife, I miss you too."

Seeing that everyone was grieving, Xu Yuehuai nodded and said, "Alright, stop being so sentimental. I'm just a girl, and I don't care about the consequences like you men do. Besides, we have Lord Qi's support, so what are we afraid of?"

"Lord Qi, I will follow you."

Count me in.

"I!"

Everyone is ready.

Qi Guze looked at everyone and said, "Then you are all required to obey orders and follow commands. You must not act on your own. What I say goes. Wherever I tell you to go, you go. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, the group nodded hastily.

Everything is ready.

Half an hour later, Xu Yuehuai sneaked over to the food delivery person at the small kitchen and poisoned the food for the leader of District 13.

In fact, she had planned to torture them to death, but all she had on hand was croton oil.
