Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Xie Jin led Feng Qingluan all the way up and arrived outside the Black Wind Village quietly.

Outside the village, there was a group of bandits holding torches. They had tense expressions and no one knew what they were talking about. Sometimes they pointed in the direction of Heifengkou, and sometimes they pointed at Heifeng Village.

The two hid in the bushes and observed the situation.

Feng Qingluan took out a telescope and looked for the children.

There are not many houses in Heifeng Village, and most of them are dilapidated. If there is a group of people gathered together, it is easy to find them.

Not long after, Feng Qingluan saw it.

In a room at the back of the Black Wind Village, there was a short head moving around, and someone was guarding the door.

Feng Qingluan said: "Found it."

She handed the telescope to Xie Jin and pointed it in that direction.

"I don't know if the bandits have locked the children in one place. We have to act separately."

Wang Liangcai said that forty or fifty people around Cang County were captured and taken into the mountains.

Even if some of them were slaughtered last night, there are still dozens of people left.

This was the purpose of her and Xie Jin going up the mountain to avoid being seen.

It was not an easy task to snatch dozens of hostages who had no martial arts skills from a group of bandits and take them away safely, so her space came in handy.

She entered the room where the hostages were, put the children to sleep, packed them up and sent them into the space. This was the most time-saving and labor-saving way to rescue people.

Next, wait for Li Xiang and monk Xiu Ran to clear the "roadblocks" and rush to Black Wind Village to eliminate all the remaining bandits.

So now their question is how can she get into the hostage room?

Xie Jin said, "I will go lead them away, you go to the backyard and bring them into the space, wait there for me to pick you up."

Feng Qingluan said: "Yes."

After making a plan, the two did not act immediately. Instead, they circled around the Black Wind Village, looking for the best place to strike.

Xie Jin pointed to the left: "I'll go down from the kitchen, you go on the right."

Xie Jin chose this place because it was most convenient for Feng Qingluan to enter the room where the children were imprisoned.

The room is located in the backyard of the village, close to the mountain. To get there, one has to go through the yard.

There are bandits patrolling the yard.

There were dangers in the past, but this row of houses is close together, allowing Feng Qingluan to make full use of the stealth function of the space. Once there is danger, she can hide in the room and enter the space for emergency escape.

Feng Qingluan nodded: "Be careful, take these things with you."

Feng Qingluan gave him a flare and two grenades.

She prepared this overnight before coming to suppress the bandits.

Xie Jin put it away, and his figure as fast as a ghost moved in the night as if walking on flat ground, and soon disappeared at the intersection that had been scouted in advance.

Feng Qingluan was waiting here. Not long after, the bandits below started to move in panic with torches in hand.

The bandits patrolling this side of the yard were called away, and those guarding the door did not move.

Feng Qingluan quickly changed into night clothes, found a feasible path, and went down through the bushes.

She came to the front of the house. There was a gutter between the house and the mountain behind it, which was big enough for one person to fit in.

Feng Qingluan had a slender figure and did not feel any difficulty walking inside.

After walking through about two rooms, a protruding mountain peak in front blocked the way. It was impossible to go inside, so Feng Qingluan poked a hole in the window paper and looked inside.

There's no one in the room.

She took out a knife, cut a hole in the window, and climbed in.

There were two figures standing at the door, talking to each other:

"I heard that the soldiers brought by Prince Rong are about to break through the Black Wind Pass. It seems that something happened ahead. Our group has gone there. If Prince Rong really brings his men to attack the village, what should we do?"

One of them said worriedly.

Another mocked him:

"How did the boss choose you to be a bandit? Who are we working for? The boss at the top.

The purpose of taking hostages is to lure King Rong and his fiancée here so that we can kill them here. Don't worry, those people can't attack. The boss has a backup plan.

Don't forget that we have thirty-eight lives in our hands. There are thirty-eight people imprisoned in that house. Doesn't King Rong love his people like his own children? He will take the lives of the hostages into consideration and dare not attack us."

The bandit who had spoken earlier seemed to have suddenly realized something and started laughing:

"Brother Cheng still knows more."

The man surnamed Cheng said with a proud smile:

"Besides, Black Wind Pass might bring some hostages over to calm down the soldiers. They are here to rescue people. If the hostages die in their hands, they won't be able to report back."

There were thirty-eight hostages in the room.

Feng Qingluan heard an exact number.

These two ignorant little fools were still talking smartly, unaware that danger was approaching.

When they were talking about completing the mission and getting paid to eat and drink, Feng Qingluan suddenly opened the door from the inside and quickly pressed the acupoints of both of them.

One of them reacted and wanted to shout loudly, but Feng Qingluan pressed their mute points again.

The two of them were stuck here before they could finish their words.

Feng Qingluan closed the door and slipped into another room along the corridor.

Behind her, two acupunctured bandits watched helplessly as the black figure in front of them appeared and disappeared between the rooms.

The two men wanted to shout for help as if they had seen a ghost, but there was nothing they could do. They saw that their other companions were just like them, with acupuncture points pressed on them and unable to make a sound. They could only watch in horror as the black shadow went all the way to the room where the hostages were held.

Feng Qingluan opened the door, went in and quickly closed it.

She turned around and saw the children huddled in the corner of the room, looking at her in fear as she suddenly broke in.

Feng Qingluan made a shushing gesture:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Is everyone here?"

She took a head count.

The children still stared at her with their eyes wide open in fear. One of the braver teenagers asked in a trembling voice:

"Are you really here to help us, not to capture us and kill us?"

After Feng Qingluan counted the number of people, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Yes, I'll take you away. Why are there only twenty-three of you?"

Didn’t they say that all thirty-eight people were in the room?

When she entered the room and saw the number of people inside, she realized something was wrong. After counting, she found that there were more than ten people missing.

The young man who just spoke said:

"About an incense stick of time ago, bandits came in and captured a dozen of our companions. I don't know where they took them."

Last night, the bandits captured those companions who tried to escape and beheaded them in front of them.

Therefore, they were all locked in the room without their hands and feet tied, and no one dared to escape.

Feng Qingluan frowned, things were becoming a little difficult.

The bandits outside who have been acupunctured won't last long, and they will be discovered soon if someone comes over.

Once the bandits discover it, they will know that someone has broken into the yard and will rush to the hostage room first.

It would be easier if everyone was here.

But more than a dozen people were taken away and their whereabouts are unknown. What should they do?

After being exposed, the dozen or so children will undoubtedly become sitting ducks, and they might even be threatened?

Feng Qingluan thought for a while and decided to send the people in the room safely into the space first and then catch a bandit to find out the whereabouts of the others.
