Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

In the hall of Black Wind Ridge, the lights were on, and the bandits were sitting around round tables, laughing and talking. They held up their wine glasses and toasted each other, and the atmosphere was very warm. Everyone had a smug smile on their face, as if they had forgotten the fierce battle they had just experienced.

"Brothers, this time we have won a great victory!" A bearded man raised his glass and shouted. His voice was particularly loud in the noisy environment, attracting the surrounding bandits to echo him.

"Yes, this batch of supplies is enough to sustain us for a while." another bandit said.

"Haha, this is all thanks to us!" someone boasted.

At this time, the bound people were still lying on the cold ground, unable to move. They were fed with muscle softening powder, and their bodies were weak. The bandits guarding outside the cell seemed a little relaxed. They leaned against the wall and chatted, and their attention was not focused.

At this moment, Yun Yuxi secretly took out the detoxification pill from the space and hid it in her palm. She carefully approached Lingyi and Yuelan, and quickly handed the detoxification pill to them while the bandits who were guarding them were not paying attention. After the two took the detoxification pill, they immediately understood Yun Yuxi's intention. So, they quietly put the detoxification pill into their mouths, chewed it, and then spit it out and applied it to their wounds.

Lingyi and Yuelan looked at each other and nodded. They carefully handed the detoxification pills to the other people who were tied up so that they could also recover their strength as soon as possible. However, the others did not have spatial abilities like Yun Yuxi, so they could only detoxify by taking it orally. Despite this, Lingyi and Yuelan still tried their best to distribute the detoxification pills to everyone who needed help.

Everyone received Yun Yuxi's hint, and although they had already detoxified, they still pretended to be weak and continued to lie on the ground. They knew that if they stood up and resisted now, it might alert the bandits and make the situation more dangerous. So, they decided to wait until the time was right before taking action.

The two guards took turns to inspect. Seeing that everyone was still weak and there was no sign of escape or resistance, the two of them sat back to drink and chat with peace of mind.

"Brother, I don't know why, but the boss listens to the young lady so much. After the old boss passed away, the boss has been even more obedient to the young lady and dotes on her. The love between the couple is so deep that it makes people envy!" Guard A said while drinking.

"Of course not. Our young lady used to be the most beautiful girl in this village. She was beautiful and gentle. There were so many people in the village who had a crush on her! Especially the second in command. He really gave his heart to the young lady. They were about to get married, but who knew that a big boss would show up..." Guard B sighed.

"Alas, back then, the first and second in command had a duel to compete for the eldest lady. In the end, the second in command lost half a move. Afterwards, the second in command drank for three days and three nights, and he became quiet after waking up." Guard A shook his head and said regretfully.

Everyone in the cell listened to the two guards chatting casually, their heads were full of black lines. They had naturally heard about these things, but now they heard the guards mention it again, they still felt a little emotional. They couldn't help but start thinking about the various complex relationships in this mountain village and the stories behind them.

At this moment, Yun Yuxi suddenly took out a silver ingot from her bosom and threw it at one of the guards. Seeing this, the guard smiled and bent down to pick up the silver, but he didn't expect that the silver started to smoke as soon as he got it. The two realized that something was wrong and quickly shook the silver in their hands, but it was too late. They had already fainted from the poison.

"Everyone, please be patient and don't be anxious. Wait for me to sneak out, poison these bandits, and then escape together. There are bandits from Black Wind Ridge everywhere outside now. If you act rashly, your life might be in danger. If you are caught again, you might die on the spot!" Yun Yuxi explained in a low voice while skillfully opening the door of the cell with a hairpin.

However, Liu Lin on the side widened his eyes and his face was full of anger: "Princess, how could you be so selfish that you only care about your own life and leave us here to die?" His voice was full of anger and disappointment.

Ling walked in front of Liu Lin in an instant and knocked him out with a knife. Everyone immediately quieted down.

"The princess is not the kind of person who is afraid of death. None of the imperial doctors know martial arts, and you are the hope of the people of Lingcheng. If you die, what will happen to the people of Lingcheng? The princess is highly skilled in martial arts and knows all kinds of ways to save her life. If she goes out and knocks down those bandits, we will have a chance to escape," Lingyi said angrily.

"Princess, please go quickly. Don't delay. The two guards might wake up soon, and other people might come in," Yuelan said worriedly.

"Those of you who know martial arts must protect everyone. Don't be impulsive. Wait until I come back to talk about everything. This is the imperial sword bestowed by His Majesty. Lingyi, you take it. If anyone disobeys, kill them without mercy!" Yun Yuxi said in a loud voice. Her voice was full of majesty and domineering, which shocked people.

She held a sword in her hand, which shone with cold light. The hilt was inlaid with gorgeous gems. The blade was extremely sharp, exuding a frightening aura. This sword was the imperial sword bestowed on her by the emperor, representing supreme authority and power.

Lingyi took the imperial sword respectfully, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He knew that Yun Yuxi's orders must be carried out unconditionally, and he also believed that she had the ability to solve the current predicament.

At this moment, Liu Lin, who had just woken up, fainted again after hearing Yun Yuxi's words. He could not bear such pressure and fear, so he could only choose to escape from reality.

Yun Yuxi glanced at Liu Lin who had fainted on the ground and sighed inwardly. She understood that these ordinary people often seemed helpless and vulnerable when facing danger, but now was not the time to be soft-hearted, she needed to act quickly to protect everyone.

"Zhang Guangyu, Lin Zicong, the two of you quickly change into the clothes of the two guards, then pretend to be guards and sit here to hold back the people outside. Remember, you must be careful and not reveal any flaws." Yun Yuxi ordered calmly.

Zhang Guangyu and Lin Zicong looked at each other and nodded without hesitation. They knew the heavy responsibility they shouldered and dared not neglect it in the slightest.

Then, Yun Yuxi added: "Lingyi, these two people will not wake up for the time being. You should smear some dirty stuff on their faces to prevent people outside from coming in and recognizing them. In addition, you must also be careful not to let people outside count, otherwise our plan will be exposed. So, everyone try to lie down and don't be exposed."

Yun Yuxi explained all the details carefully to ensure that everything was safe. Then, she immediately disguised herself as a man and prepared to walk out of the cell.

Zhang Guangyu and Lin Zicong looked at each other, and they understood each other very well. They quickly smeared dust on their faces, dressed up as guards, and shouted loudly: "Behave yourself! You are poisoned by the muscle softening powder and still want to run? Just wait for our boss to deal with you!"

After shouting, they pretended to patrol the cell, looking fierce on purpose.

Yun Yuxi took this opportunity to quietly leave the cell and blend into the crowd...
