It's a sleeping potion!
Without bothering to check the source of the intoxicating fragrance, Mo Qianshang immediately held her breath, then pretended to be drugged and fell onto the withered grass, her closed eyes looking very convincing.
In just a few breaths, the sounds of people and objects falling to the ground echoed one after another in the cell.
Because everyone's tolerance for your demands is different, this sound lasted for about 15 minutes before it finally stopped.
But the footsteps that Mo Qianshang heard did not stop; in fact, they became clearer and clearer, as if the person was approaching her step by step.
Based on the wise saying that "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated," she secretly squinted her eyes and tried to look in the direction of the footsteps.
In a blur, she saw a man dressed in white gracefully approaching, like a celestial being descended from the heavens, completely out of place in the filthy and gloomy atmosphere of the entire prison.
Mo Qianshang was inexplicably mesmerized, unaware of the danger. Her eyes widened involuntarily as she tried to make out the person's face.
Upon seeing clearly, she immediately sat up straight, her expression slightly embarrassed. She wondered if Qin Baiyi had seen her stunned expression...
Taking a deep breath, Mo Qianshang calmed herself and asked in a composed manner, "Why did you suddenly come here? How are the children?"
"Why did you deliberately let yourself be arrested? With your abilities, you shouldn't have done that." Qin Baiyi avoided answering Mo Qianshang's question, his clear voice clearly revealing a hint of displeasure.
"Tell me first, how are the children now?" Seeing the other party's rudeness, Mo Qianshang also became stubborn, looking directly into Qin Baiyi's eyes without trembling.
Ultimately, Qin Baiyi succumbed to the overwhelming worry in Mo Qianshang's eyes, nodding slightly but her tone remaining cold and hard, like a brick used to build a wall.
“I have already taken them out of the mountain stronghold and settled them in; there is no need to worry.” After saying this, he raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, as if to say, “I have answered you; now it is your turn to answer me.”
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Mo Qianshang didn't mince words with him. She pointed to the large pile of food that had been thrown out in the corner and briefly told Qin Baiyi about her discovery.
"Then you should leave immediately as well." Qin Baiyi's tone was still displeased, and his expression also became dissatisfied.
"Don't forget, there are four children waiting for you to come back."
“I know. But if I make too much of a fuss, Liu Dashan will become desperate and might hurt the villagers. I don’t want to see that happen.”
"Rather than that, I'd rather leave the dungeon quietly and grab Liu Dashan by the neck directly; that would be more in line with my style."
Her style of doing things?
Qin Baiyi silently recited a phrase in his heart, his pitch-black eyes becoming even more profound, like the thick, dark night that seemed to drip ink, making it even more difficult to understand his thoughts.
Fortunately, Mo Qianshang did not intend to delve into Qin Baiyi's background. The two had only met by chance, and as long as the other party did not have any ill intentions towards her, she was too lazy to care about how the other party was brainstorming.
A terrifying silence fell over the cell for a while, broken only by the occasional gust of wind.
After a long while, Qin Baiyi turned his gaze back to Mo Qianshang. His magnetic voice sounded cold, yet inexplicably made people feel that he was reliable.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Since it was offered for help, he didn't hesitate to accept it. In addition, Mo Qianshang was indeed being held back in prison, so he didn't stand on ceremony and told the other party his request in a low voice.
Having roughly guessed what Mo Qianshang was planning to do, Qin Baiyi had also gone through it in his mind and confirmed that there shouldn't be any major problems, so he nodded in agreement and left.
A short while after he left, Mo Qianshang no longer hesitated. She exchanged for an extra sharp dagger in the shop and kept it on her person just in case. She also tidied her messy hair before leaving the Yin Prison openly.
She had to thank Qin Baiyi for this, otherwise she would have had to awkwardly avoid people.
Smelling the fresh, invigorating air outside the cell, Mo Qianshang stretched lazily and let out a silent yawn.
She looked extremely languid, not at all like someone in crisis, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that she hadn't wasted even this short time, gazing into the distance to assess the surrounding situation.
In particular, they searched for the location of Liu Dashan.
Given Liu Dashan's cowardly and bullying nature, and how frightened he was by Mo Qianshang's previous incident, he would surely have gathered a lot of bandits to guard outside at night, so he shouldn't be hard to find.
Unable to find it to the left, Mo Qianshang looked to the right and saw a courtyard guarded by about a dozen bandits.
They surrounded the entire courtyard so tightly that not only could no one get in, but even the nimble wild animals from the mountains probably couldn't get in.
However, Mo Qianshang was no ordinary person, much less a small animal. She found the right spot and used her lightness skill to fly away.
The closer she got to her destination, the more quietly she moved, silently circling behind a bandit guard like a nimble cat.
Before the other party could react, she took out the anesthetic needle she had redeemed from the mall and stabbed it into the other party's neck, while simultaneously covering the other party's mouth.
Even when he fell, she dragged him to the ground, and he didn't make a sound at all.
She also carefully positioned the bandit as if he were sleeping, so that even if someone came and couldn't wake him, they would only think that he was sleeping too soundly, and would not think that he had been drugged.
Having found a breakthrough, Mo Qianshang's anger, which had been building up for a long time, flashed into the courtyard through the back door and was suddenly met with a pair of bloodshot eyes full of anger.
The other party instinctively prepared to attack Mo Qianshang, but she quickly restrained the other party's arm and warned them in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"It's me, Mo Qianshang."
At first glance, Mo Qianshang couldn't tell the difference between his eyes until she saw the whip marks on his neck.
The person in front of me is Gou Dan.
Before the two could exchange more details about how they ended up there, the woman began to sob and Liu Dashan began to curse.
"You bitch! It's an honor that I've taken a liking to you, and you dare to bite me? You don't want to live anymore!"
As the words fell, a crisp slap rang out. The two men in the courtyard could no longer contain themselves and simultaneously controlled their strength as they rushed into the house, trying their best not to alert the bandits outside.
Compared to Gou Dan raising his broadsword to chop Liu Dashan, Mo Qianshang's movements were obviously faster.
She casually stuffed a rag into Liu Dashan's mouth and tied his hands behind his back. All her movements were swift and smooth, without the slightest pause. The three people in the room were stunned.
Realizing what was happening, Liu Dashan prepared to kick over other things to draw attention away from the people outside, but unexpectedly, the knife in Gou Dan's hand was already at his leg.
The meaning was clear: if he dared to move even slightly, he could forget about getting his leg back.
Liu Dashan was so frightened that his raised foot froze in mid-air, trembling like a leaf.
