Originally, I was thinking of sparring for a while longer, but the man in front of me was clearly showing signs of backing down, so I had no choice but to finish the fight quickly!
She swiftly dodged the projectile thrown by the opponent, then quickly slid forward to avoid the burly man's returning longsword. Using her agile body, she quickly stood up, leaped up, and as the burly man turned to defend himself, she slashed his back with her sword!
The long wound ran from his shoulder all the way down to his lower back!
The burly man grimaced in pain, swearing profusely!
When he looked around, he found that his other three brothers had been captured!
He noticed that the defenses at the courtyard gate were relatively weak, and that many civilians were kneeling there!
Ignoring the pain in his back, he ran quickly towards the courtyard gate. When the villagers saw this burly man running towards them with a fierce expression, chaos ensued!
Seeing the chaotic crowd, the burly man thought he could take advantage of the confusion to escape. Before he could even feel happy, his smile froze on his face. He looked down at his chest in disbelief and saw that a long knife had pierced through him!
He tried to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Lin Ru gripped the handle tightly, pulled out the long knife, and then stabbed it back in!
He stabbed the person three times to make sure they were really dead before he felt relieved enough to wipe them with a handkerchief and test his blood-stained long knife!
Wu Ling respectfully ran to her side, "Miss! Xu Yixuan and those who did not collude with the magistrate have all been imprisoned in the county jail!"
"The magistrate is leaving today and specifically instructed the jailers to poison these people at noon!"
Lin Ru glanced at the sun in the sky and inwardly cried out in alarm!
If she's not mistaken, it's almost noon!
She left some people behind to clean up the mess, while the rest went to the prison with her!
We must rescue Xu Yixuan!
If it were the male lead in another book, she wouldn't be worried at all, but this is a tragic love story, and the male lead could die anytime, anywhere!
Moreover, there are many innocent civilians in that place!
She's such a righteous person, she can't just let this go unchecked!
But by the time she led her people over, it was past noon. Lin Ru's heart was in her throat. She punched the last two guards away and quickly went inside!
Once you go inside, the first cell on your right is where Xu Yixuan is imprisoned!
She just happened to see Xu Yixuan put something in his mouth with his chopsticks!
She quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't eat it!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yixuan looked up, his face filled with surprise and delight!
He swallowed hard and said excitedly, "Miss Lin! What brings you here? What did you just say? I didn't hear you!"
Lin Ru watched helplessly as he swallowed the poisoned food, her mind going blank as if an atomic bomb had exploded!
She couldn't wait to open the door with the key. She channeled all her inner strength into her right hand and blasted the prison door open with a punch!
Then she quickly stepped forward, and under Xu Yixuan's surprised gaze, she pinched his chin and reached in with her other hand, wanting to pry out the poisonous food that Xu Yixuan had just discovered!
However, after picking at it a couple of times, she remembered that she had given Xu Yixuan an antidote before!
Only then did she remove her hand from Xu Yixuan's mouth, whose face was filled with terror!
Wu Juan, watching anxiously from the side, said, "Miss, hurry up and keep picking at him! Otherwise, he'll die from the poison!"
Upon hearing the words "death from poisoning," and recalling the exceptionally delicious food from earlier, Xu Yixuan immediately understood why Miss Lin was so nervous and why she had grabbed his chin and tried to pry it off as soon as she entered!
He was so frightened that he knelt down to the side, put his own mouth inside, and continued to pick at it!
Lin Ru took out a small water pouch from her sleeve with some disgust and then rinsed her hand that she had just put into Xu Yixuan's mouth!
After she rinsed off and confirmed that there was no smell, Xu Yixuan also vomited up the food he had eaten!
Seeing that her young mistress wasn't in a hurry, Wu Juan decided she wasn't in a hurry either!
The others they brought with them returned one after another to report that, apart from Xu Yixuan, no one in the entire cell had eaten the food brought by the cell boss!
This food seems to be much better than what they've eaten before; there's definitely something fishy going on!
They were thinking of reminding the new man, but before they could say anything, a fierce fight broke out outside. The new man was not only quick-handed, but also hard of hearing!
Despite being told not to eat so loudly, he still swallowed it!
It seems we can only leave the rest to fate and do our best.
Lin Ru was utterly speechless when she heard the other people's reports!
She just watched as Xu Yixuan anxiously tried to clear his throat!
There was no call to stop!
She wanted to teach this person a lesson!
Don't eat everything!
Have you forgotten how you died in your past life?
Okay! He really didn't know!
Without this invulnerability pill, Xu Yixuan would probably have died from poison again!
After Wu Juan released all those people one by one, she came back and saw Xu Yixuan still scratching his throat!
Moreover, he couldn't vomit anything anymore; all he vomited was water and blood!
Wu Juan looked at Lin Ru with some surprise!
"Miss! Why don't you seem worried at all? We rushed here overnight just to save him?"
"And didn't that old man say this poison is lethal on contact with blood and takes effect very quickly? We need to think of a way!"
"But that old man bought fake poison, didn't he? How much time has passed? Why hasn't the poison taken effect yet? Could it be that he really vomited it up?"
Lin Ru calmly said, "Let's go, let's ignore him. Who told him to be so rude?"
"Don't you even know where you are? This is a prison cell. Anyone can tell there's something wrong with the food, but he's quick to eat it all!"
"Serves him right for getting into trouble!"
"These people outside are all up to no good; only he never learns from his mistakes!"
"So what if I die from poisoning! In my next life, I'll be able to see clearly which vegetables are edible and which are not!"
After saying that, she left first!
Wu Juan sensed the disappointment and frustration in her young mistress's words!
Judging from the changes in his young mistress's expression, Xu Yixuan probably won't die!
She turned and followed her young mistress outside!
Xu Yixuan overheard their conversation and desperately reached out his hand, "Miss Lin! Don't go! I promise I won't eat anything indiscriminately next time! Please save me! I think I can still be saved!"
"Miss Lin!"
