bump!
Following the guidance of the insect, she kicked open a room.
At this time, the red-faced man in the room seemed to have not expected her to come so quickly. He hurriedly wrapped his cloak and lifted up the table beside him and smashed it at her.
Tan Manxing dodged sideways and attacked quickly at close range with a dagger in hand.
The red-faced man was poisoned and his reaction speed was not as fast as before. At this time, he was like a strong bow and a crossbow.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will lose.
Tan Manxing didn't want to delay either, so he quickly ended the fight by stabbing a dagger into his heart.
The red-faced man used his last breath to knock Tan Manxing away. He covered the bleeding spot on his chest and laughed loudly at Tan Manxing.
"I didn't expect to encounter such a powerful person in such a small place, but just wait, the Red-Faced Faction won't let you be so arrogant for long."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly pressed the wall behind him and then disappeared into the secret passage.
Tan Manxing quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to check the wall, realizing that someone had escaped.
But with that fatal blow just now and the bite from her poisonous insect, it was still a question whether he could survive.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was suddenly a loud explosion from underground.
"Miss Tan, are you okay? It looks like this place is about to collapse. Let's go quickly."
Tong Leren arrived late and was almost hit by the rubble from the explosion. He stood at the door with his head in his hands and spoke nervously.
Tan Manxing glanced at Tong Leren and didn't care why he was so slow.
"I'm fine, wait for me outside."
After she finished speaking, she left the house but did not go towards the exit. Instead, she continued walking deeper into the house.
Xiaobai hasn't come here yet, which means there are other living people here.
Tong Leren saw Tan Manxing still walking towards the explosion, and after hesitating for a moment, he followed him.
"That won't work. I'm already late. If I go out now, what use will I be?"
He said this while scratching his head embarrassedly.
Tan Manxing looked at Tong Leren, who was obviously very scared but still insisted on following, and raised his eyebrows in confusion, but did not say anything to stop him.
It's my decision, it has nothing to do with her.
Because the ground was constantly collapsing, she didn't think about her previous leisurely pace and moved faster and faster.
Fortunately, with Xiaobai's guidance, she quickly stopped in front of an iron gate at the deepest part.
She reached out to pick up Xiaobai from the ground, looked at the iron gate in front of her and pulled the chain apart with force.
Although it was very quiet inside, Tan Manxing was still sure that there was someone inside.
It was too dark to see clearly from the door.
She lit the self-igniting stick and found that the dungeon was very shabby and dirty.
Huddled inside were more than a dozen women in wedding dresses and a man dressed as a scholar.
At first, these people seemed afraid that the person coming was the red-faced man, but after they found out that it was Tan Manxing, their fearful eyes showed anticipation.
"Are you here to rescue us?"
Compared to those haggard women, the scholar was in better condition. Seeing that Tan Manxing did not attack them, he spoke first.
"Well, it's not safe here now, hurry up and leave with me."
After Tan Manxing finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of these people who were excited but afraid to move, gave a look to Tong Leren who was secretly glancing at him from behind, and left first.
After spending a few days together, he understood what Tan Manxing meant and quickly brought up the matter of the village chief.
"Don't worry, we are not in the same group as that red-faced man. You should all know Village Chief Li. We were sent by the village chief to rescue you. Come with us quickly, this place is about to collapse."
The girl in the dark cell finally felt relieved when she heard that it was the person invited by the village chief.
In the end, they supported each other and followed him out.
The scholar helped them up and explained to Tan Manxing and the others on the way why he was there.
His name is Zhou Yixuan. He was originally a scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. However, his parents were accidentally killed by the Red-Faced Gang. In order to catch the murderer, he gave up the imperial examination and began to investigate the Red-Faced Gang.
This time he followed them to the mountain, and because he couldn't open the other rooms, he temporarily hid in the dungeon where the girls were imprisoned.
Before he could think about how to be rescued, Tan Manxing and his men wiped out the entire branch.
After listening to Zhou Yixuan's narration, Tan Manxing remained silent and made no comment.
Tong Leren, on the other hand, was very impressed, and the two of them almost became brothers.
After returning to the village, the village chief was so grateful that he almost knelt down to see that Tan Manxing and the other man not only killed the red-faced man, but also brought the girls back safely.
For a moment, all the villagers were expressing their gratitude excitedly.
Tan Manxing has always hated this kind of atmosphere. After leaving this place to Tong Le Ren, he went to the room to diagnose these girls.
After taking everyone's pulse, her expression became a little solemn.
Although they are all still alive, their essence and blood have been taken away, and all of them have suffered serious damage to their bodies. They can recover with careful care, but they will not be as good as these healthy people.
When she thought of the pain these young girls had gone through, a brief flash of regret crossed her eyes.
Although she felt sorry, she still told the truth.
Fortunately, they all thought they were going to die somewhere, and now they were very grateful to be able to live a few more years, and no one scolded Tan Manxing.
After soliciting opinions from the villagers, Tan Manxing set up two large pots in the village square and found a few uncles and aunts who knew medicine to carefully explain the steps of boiling medicine.
Most of the herbs can be found in the mountains, but the key medicinal ingredients need to be brought by Tan Manxing.
Each gram of that medicinal herb is worth more than ten thousand taels of gold and is extremely rare, but she still poured it into the pot without blinking.
Although Tong Leren, who was standing by, didn't know what was in the medicine bottle, his intuition must be very valuable.
"Miss Tan, where are we going next?"
He just wanted to find something to talk about, but unexpectedly, Tan Manxing glanced at him strangely.
"Once we leave Ling Village, you don't have to follow me."
These days she has been sure that Tan Zhi is not here and has left, so it is time for her to leave too.
"Ah? Uh... Then let's go together. Where do you want to go next? If it happens to be on the way, we can still go together so we can look after each other."
Tong Le Ren didn't want to be shameless, but Tan Manxing gave him so much money, and he was also quite curious about Tan Manxing.
Anyway, the corpse-driving mission was completed, so he decided to rely on Tan Manxing.
Tan Manxing lowered his head and threw the herbs without answering.
When she was almost done, she went to tell the village chief.
"They'll be almost fully recovered after drinking this for two months. It's best not to do any heavy work and get more rest recently."
After Tan Manxing finished speaking, he looked at the village chief who wanted to thank him and waved him into the room, stopping him from talking too much.
The village chief had no time to thank Tong Leren and could only drag him to eat and drink.
"Brother Tong, thanks to you. You will be leaving tomorrow. Let's go have a drink. We are all very grateful to you."
Tong Leren was dressed more simply and was not as flamboyant as Tan Manxing. In addition, he was the easier to communicate with between the two. As the village chief said this, he dragged him away.
Seeing that even the village chief knew when Tan Manxing left, Tong Leren touched his chin in frustration and stopped refusing. Instead, he pulled the village chief aside and asked about Tan Manxing.
