Chu Xi had no time to dress up, so she could only paint her face black with some things. These were specially made by someone after she learned about the assassination of Yizhou.

It is similar to cosmetics in later generations, but it is actually made with special medicinal herbs and can make a person's skin color several shades darker.

Then she put a few moles on her face, just to cover up her appearance, as long as she could blend in.

When the doctor saw the effect of Chu Xi's disguise, he knew that Chu Xi came prepared. He dared not disobey and was afraid of death, so he could only do as Chu Xi said and took him to the dungeon.

The person guarding the door was a trusted subordinate of the boss, who was a cautious man. Before, he might not have thought too much when he saw the doctor coming, but he passed by and someone escaped from Qingshan Peak.

The second in command was killed in the village. This series of events caused this subordinate's vigilance and precautions to reach the highest level.

"Doctor Yuan, why are you here?"

"The Third Boss asked me to come. He was worried that the people in the dungeon might do something bad, so he asked me to poison them first to prevent them from escaping and revealing the secrets."

Although the doctor was a little timid, he dared not disobey with Chu Xi behind him. This reason was also tailor-made for him by Chu Xi.

"Third in command?" The subordinate frowned upon hearing this, as if he was pondering the credibility of this sentence, and his eyes moved around the doctor's medicine box.

"Yes, the Third Boss said that the First Boss had specifically ordered it."

The doctor's words were not made up. Didn't Chu Xi overhear before that the third in command wanted to kill Rong Jinfeng and the others?

Now it's just telling the truth.

When the boss was mentioned, the defensive man immediately wavered, "Oh."

The bandits who were involved in many murders all looked ferocious, especially after battles, they would inevitably have some scars on their faces, which made them look even more...scary.

Doctor Yuan was captured by them from the foot of the mountain. He was not very courageous and never dared to escape. Although his subordinates did not have much suspicion about him, they still had to investigate him.

He asked them to open the medicine box and search it carefully. In fact, they were a group of rough guys who could not even recognize a few words, let alone identify medicines.

The main purpose of this search was to observe Dr. Yuan's expression.

This subordinate had always known that Doctor Yuan was not a very courageous person, so he found it even more ridiculous to see that his legs became so weak that he was about to kneel down just because his medicine box was checked.

After searching, he looked at Chu Xi behind Doctor Yuan and couldn't help but frowned, "This person..."

"I asked him to go in with me to feed those people medicine. I can't handle it alone, so I need a helper." The doctor said this at the right time.

Chu Xi prepared for the worst. If she was recognized, she would just draw her sword and kill them. After all, no matter the situation was good or bad, she had to save the people.

The sturdy man stared at Chu Xi seriously for a moment, and always felt that this person was too unfamiliar, but then he thought about it and realized that the boss had captured a group of people from the foot of the mountain and brought them up the mountain half a month ago, so he was probably a newcomer.

"Then you go in." Thinking of the boss's usual style, he did not continue to stop them.

Chu Xi finally followed the doctor in. In order to prevent the doctor from interfering with his rescue or informing others, he got the key and opened the cell where Rong Jinfeng and other four were.

As soon as he entered, the first thing Chu Xi did was to knock the doctor unconscious.

Rong Jinfeng and the other four people who were imprisoned inside did not recognize Chu Xi at first. After all, skin color... is actually quite important for a person.

In particular, in order to avoid being recognized, Chu Xi deliberately used ink to dot a few large moles on his face.

Her whole temperament changed from beautiful and pretty to...the villagers, even if there were bandits at the door who thought she looked familiar, they would not think in that direction.

Rong Jinfeng and the others were shocked. Seeing his quick and decisive movements, they subconsciously widened their eyes and stepped back, trying to hide.

It was not until Rong Jinfeng was the first to recognize Chu Xi that he asked in his gentle and pleasant voice with a hint of uncertainty and hesitation, "Chu Qibai?"

Chu Xi hummed and quickly took out a bottle of antidote from his pocket, "Hurry up and smell it, this is the antidote."

Rong Jinfeng and the others immediately lost their guard, took the antidote, and took turns smelling it.

As for Chu Xi, she stuffed the antidote the doctor needed into his hands. She just wanted to sneak in and save people, but she didn't really want to take an ordinary person's life.

Although this doctor is their helper, he is not a bad person. He tried to deceive Chu Xi before, and the poison he took out was not immediately fatal, which shows that he is not a bloodthirsty and cruel person.

But he was dragged onto a pirate ship by the bandits and could not move forward or backward.

Chu Xi hurried to the cells at the back, opened them all with the key, and gave them the antidote to smell one by one.

Originally, this matter was going quite smoothly, so smoothly that she felt that as long as these people could move freely, there was no need to wait for them to recover their martial arts. As long as they could run, she could lead them to break out.

After all, every one that goes is a death sentence. If she doesn't save any of them, the bandits will harvest them all as soon as they get down the mountain.

Just then, several people suddenly walked in from outside, one of whom was the boss's right-hand man.

The other party seemed to be suspicious of Chu Xi. They came in with messy and anxious steps, and several of them rushed in with swords drawn, with a clear goal.

Chu Xi gave the antidote to others and asked them to save the people, while she went forward without thinking. In order to sneak in and reassure them, she deliberately did not carry any weapons.

She stepped forward and dealt with the man in front first, snatched the knife from his hand, and at the same time turned around and stabbed the person who wanted to sneak attack her.

The aisle in the middle of this dungeon is narrow, and it would be difficult for them to perform well if they have more people. Chu Xi stood alone in the front, with the momentum of killing gods and demons if he met one.

The dozen or so bandits who rushed in didn't expect Chu Xi to be so powerful. Some of them wanted to take advantage of the situation and targeted the people behind them, intending to capture one of them as a hostage to force Chu Xi to put down the knife.

"Master Rong, they have come in to kill us. What should we do?"

Lord Yu and his men were in a panic. They were all civil servants and were powerless. Faced with the bandits who were coming to kill them, they quickly surrounded Rong Jinfeng.

"Sir Yu, we are all officials appointed by the court. Even if we are not officials, we are still men of integrity. Should we surrender and wait to die on the spot?" Rong Jinfeng frowned.

The faces of Lord Yu and the other three turned pale and blue, "......"

The officers and soldiers at the back who had just taken the muscle softening powder were temporarily unable to participate in the battle and could only walk freely at best.

Chu Xi knew that the longer they stayed here, the worse the situation would become and the situation would be reversed. For this reason, his eyes immediately turned to the leader who was temporarily giving orders among them.

In no time, she caught the man and put a knife on the neck of the boss's trusted henchman, "Put down the knife, or I will kill him."
