After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Ghost Eagle strode in. He looked around, as if he had noticed something.

Li Qingqing hid in the space. She saw clearly that this person was the close subordinate of Mr. Liu who had fought with her in the study that day.

This person was extremely perceptive. Li Qingqing even suspected that he had suddenly rushed in to check because he noticed someone in the box.

Fortunately, she hid in time, otherwise if a fight broke out in this narrow brothel, not only would her weapon not be able to play its advantage, but it would also alert the enemy.

No one knows where County Magistrate Xie is hiding, and any disturbance may be detrimental to him.

She could only endure it temporarily and wait for the ghost eagle to leave the box.

After Guiying left, Li Qingqing stuck close to the door of the box and listened until she found out that Guiying had indeed left. She then quickly left the luxurious box and, under the cover of men and women coming and going in the dim corridor, searched each box one by one.

Suddenly, she noticed that not far away, Ghost Eagle came out of a most remote wing. Not far away, Li Qingqing's ears twitched slightly and she heard him instructing the two guards standing outside the wing: "Keep a close eye on him!"

Li Qingqing was delighted, it seemed that the person she was looking for was in this room.

After seeing the ghost eagle leave, Li Qingqing took out two stones from the space, and while the people around were not paying attention, she hit the two guards in the sleeping points. Before they were about to fall to the ground, she quickly approached them and pulled them into the space.

After dealing with the two people, she looked around and saw that no one noticed her, so she held her breath and carefully peeked into the room through the gap in the private room.

The room was simply furnished with a table, a chair, and a screen. A person was lying on the only bed, facing inwards, motionless. I don't know if he had been drugged or had his acupuncture points pressed.

Li Qingqing couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from the style and color of his clothes, they looked very much like the clothes that Young Master Xie wore that day. She thought that this person must be Xie Xuan'an.

Li Qingqing's heart was filled with joy again.

Things went very smoothly tonight, although there were some twists and turns along the way, but fortunately Xier was rescued and the account book was accidentally obtained. Now as long as we can rescue County Magistrate Xie as soon as possible, we can go home before dawn.

Li Qingqing flashed and quietly entered the room. After looking around to see if there was anyone around, she slowly approached the bed and called softly, "Thank you, young master!"

Seeing that he had no reaction, Li Qingqing understood that he must have been ambushed and was under someone's control.

Li Qingqing patted his shoulder lightly, wanting to find out what was going on.

But just when she touched the person on the bed, the other person suddenly turned sideways, and the dagger in his hand attacked Li Qingqing like lightning.

Li Qingqing's heart suddenly sank, and she quickly retreated. The dagger brushed past the edge of her clothes, and she narrowly avoided the sneak attack.

!!!

"Who are you?" Li Qingqing looked closely and found that this person was not Xie Xuan'an, but was wearing his clothes.

"Where is Lord Xie?" There was a hint of coldness in Li Qingqing's voice, and she stared at the man in front of her vigilantly.

The man sneered and did not answer, but just gripped the dagger tightly, ready to attack again.

Just as the two were confronting each other, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Guiying pushed the door open with a group of his men and quickly surrounded Li Qingqing.

"You are indeed here!"

Ghost Eagle stepped forward, his eyes glancing towards Li Qingqing. He was slightly taken aback before saying, "I didn't expect you to be such a handsome young man! What a pity. If you want to save Lord Xie, then just be obedient."

Li Qingqing's pupils suddenly shrank. She quickly looked around and looked at the ghost eagle again. She knew in her heart that she had fallen into the other party's trap.

I just don't know how the other party determined that she would come?

"How dare you kidnap an imperial official?" Li Qingqing suppressed her anger and tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

"If you want him to live, just surrender!" Bai Ye sneered, "Don't even think about running away, or Master Xie won't live past tomorrow!"

Ghost Eagle didn't seem to like talking much. He raised his hand and one of his men came forward with an iron chain. The chain swayed gently, making a crisp sound.

Li Qingqing: Do you think she's stupid? She's not here to get killed!

Li Qingqing turned her gaze towards Ghost Eagle, her face calm as she asked in a cold voice, "How do I know that Lord Xie is in your hands?"

Ghost Eagle smiled inexplicably and ordered, "Come here, please thank the master!"

The crowd dispersed, revealing a screen in the room. The man who had attacked Li Qingqing earlier quickly entered behind the screen, and the other two men immediately moved the screen away.

When the screen was removed, the man who had previously worn Xie Xuan'an's outer clothes was seen holding a dagger, pressing it tightly against Xie Xuan'an's neck.

Xie Xuan'an was stripped of his outer clothes and left wearing only his inner clothes. He was tied to a chair. His face was flushed and his eyes were blurry. It was obvious that he had been drugged and his mute point had been pressed.

Li Qingqing: Poor young Master Xie, I’m afraid he has never been treated like this in his life.

At this time, Xie Xuan'an was suffering greatly physically and mentally. He suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Qingqing, and a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes, but then he fell into confusion again.

Xie Xuanan: He seemed to see someone he knew? He remembered that Yunying had been away for a short time to report the news, so why did he come to rescue him so quickly?

"What do I need to release Lord Xie?" Li Qingqing glanced at Xie Xuan'an, then looked at Guiying with a cold voice.

"It's very simple. First, hand over the whereabouts of the 60,000 taels of silver. Second, stop interfering in Mr. Liu's affairs. Third, you must hand over the secret manual of the stealth technique!"

Ghost Eagle spoke slowly, and when he mentioned the third condition, his eyes revealed an unconcealable enthusiasm.

He was originally one of the best fighters in the martial arts world, but unfortunately he was ambushed by Mr. Liu, who threatened his family and controlled him with poison. He was forced to sign a master-servant contract. How could he, a bohemian and arrogant man, easily accept this bondage?

The last time he fought with Li Qingqing, he saw Li Qingqing suddenly disappear in front of his eyes. In just a moment, he guessed that this was most likely a lost technique of stealth.

If he could also master this technique and steal the secret recipe for the antidote, he would be able to completely break free from Mr. Liu's bondage and then take his mother away.

Therefore, when he lied to Mr. Liu that the art of Qimen Dunjia was nonsense, he killed all of County Magistrate Xie's men in order to lure Li Qingqing out, and using a woman to lure Mr. Liu away was also part of his plan.

As he expected, the man in front of him was in cahoots with County Magistrate Xie!

But I didn't expect that he was a young man.

Li Qingqing was slightly stunned. What was this all about? What the hell was this "stealth" technique?

She squinted her eyes and stared at Ghost Eagle, not missing the hint of fanaticism hidden in his eyes.

Li Qingqing couldn't help but scrutinize Ghost Eagle. He was only about twenty years old, quiet and reserved, with a mature demeanor. She asked, "Are you from the Jianghu?"

Ghost Eagle remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

Li Qingqing thought to herself, since he is a man of the world, why would he become a slave?

Her gaze lingered on his face for a long time, until Ghost Eagle showed impatience, then she suddenly said:

"I can agree to the first two conditions, but I can't agree to the third. However, I have an antidote pill that can cure all poisons. I wonder if I can trade it for Master Xie?"

Just now, Li Qingqing carefully examined Ghost Eagle's face and discovered the clue. This person had been poisoned by Moon Devouring Powder. It was the kind of poison that required an antidote once a month. Otherwise, the whole body would be in unbearable pain.

Oh, maybe I can incite Mr. Liu’s capable men to rebel without having to fight. Wouldn’t that be better?
