Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Lin Ping opened his eyes, which were stuck together. He had a terrible headache. His whole body was bound like a rice dumpling and he was also fixed to a wooden stake.

This is a secret room with no windows on any side. There is only a tightly closed iron door directly opposite. The furnishings inside can be barely seen with the help of four oil lamps.

Next to Lin Ping, there was a wooden stake with Xia Linglong on it. Fortunately, the enemy's binding technique was not good, otherwise Xia Linglong's true identity as a woman might have been exposed.

"Wake up, wake up!" Lin Ping called softly to Xia Linglong, trying to discuss a solution with her.

Although the two were not on the same side, they were both imprisoned here and had become acquainted through thick and thin. Now, Lin Ping could only place his hopes on Xia Linglong, but she was sleeping like a log and he probably wouldn't wake her unless he made a lot of noise.

Lin Ping dared not shout loudly, lest the enemy hear him and rush in to kill him.

At this moment, Lin Ping thought of a classic saying: You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep unless their urine is yellow!

I'm not feeling hot, and I wouldn't dare to drink it...

Lin Ping shook his head helplessly, then gathered a mouthful of phlegm and aimed it at Xia Linglong's pretty face.

"This girl's profile is quite pretty." The sleeping Xia Linglong had lost her usual arrogance; her cheeks were flushed in the candlelight. Lin Ping was somewhat mesmerized, and swallowed hard—no… more like swallowing phlegm!

The slightly salty taste brought Lin Ping back to his senses, and he spat a mouthful of saliva onto Xia Linglong's face.

Xia Linglong shook her head, finally opened her eyes, and asked in confusion, "Is it raining?"

Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat. How could he dare to tell the truth? He quickly changed the subject, "Sir, we've been captured!"

As a qualified member of the Imperial Guard, Xia Linglong possessed exceptional insight and quickly assessed her current predicament. She desperately struggled to free her hands and even tried to pull out a dagger from her sleeve.

Unfortunately, the enemy had focused on binding their hands, making it impossible for them to move.

Xia Linglong twisted her body forcefully, trying to slip out like a cicada shedding its shell.

Unfortunately, she couldn't break free. Instead, she saw Lin Ping staring at her with a lecherous look in his eyes.

"You scoundrel, you're asking for death!"

Xia Linglong screamed loudly, knowing what Lin Ping's look meant.

"Hey girl, can't you use your brain? Shut up if you don't want to die!" Lin Ping cursed.

Making a loud noise before understanding the situation could very well lead to your death.

Moreover, Lin Ping knew that Jiang Yunying would definitely come to rescue him, so he should try to stall for time. Who would have thought that Xia Linglong, that brainless woman, would ruin his plan?

Xia Linglong was a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. She had never been called a "little girl" before, nor had she ever been called brainless. Logically, she should have been furious, but now she was like a child who had made a mistake, obediently shutting her mouth.

At this moment, Lin Ping activated his X-ray vision to the maximum, directly seeing through the thick walls, and discovered that the secret room was hidden more than ten meters underground.

Looking up, Lin Ping saw a familiar scene – the very spot where they had been knocked unconscious. In other words, this secret room was located directly below the Wutong Garden.

At this moment, the Wutong Garden was in complete chaos, with countless young men wearing only trousers desperately trying to escape, clearly indicating that the fight that had just taken place was quite intense.

Pan Jinxiang pulled and tugged at the crowd, forcing smiles and trying to keep them there. Finally, she sat on the ground and cried out, "You haven't paid us yet!"

If not paying for a meal is called "dining and dashing," then this scene is roughly equivalent to "a king bidding farewell to a prostitute"...

Lu Hongling stood in the middle with a solemn expression, and was about to leave when she was stopped by a long sword.

"Where is my husband?" Jiang Yunying returned, immediately making Lu Hongling the prime suspect.

Lu Hongling knew Jiang Yunying's identity and who her husband was. She bowed respectfully and replied, "Young Master Lin was taken away by that group of men in black."

"Men in black? Hmph! I think you're in cahoots with them!" Jiang Yunying's voice grew colder and colder, and his long sword was already pressed against Lu Hongling's jade-like neck.

"My wife, she's not a bad person!"

Lin Ping was extremely anxious, fearing that Jiang Yunying had mistakenly killed an innocent person, especially such a beautiful innocent person.

Regardless of their status, all the men in black had five pills inside their bodies, but Lu Hongling did not. Based on this, Lin Ping could conclude that she was not on the same side as the men in black, and was probably just an ordinary woman with outstanding looks.

"Wife, I'm below you!" Lin Ping shouted loudly, feeling that there was something ambiguous about the words, but it was also in line with the status of a son-in-law. Wife above, husband below, it was normal!

Xia Linglong stared at Lin Ping, speechless, wishing she could chop him up. He had clearly told her not to scream, but now she was yelling incessantly. It was a classic case of "the common people are allowed to light lamps, but the magistrate is forbidden to set fires."

"Wife, I'm below you, hurry up and get down..." Lin Ping continued to shout loudly, while constantly imagining the scene.

Clearly, Lin Ping was going all out, hoping that Jiang Yunying could rush in before the enemy and destroy their stronghold.

Logically speaking, such a deep layer of soil should not completely block Lin Ping's voice. Furthermore, Jiang Yunying has keen senses and should have been able to hear it immediately. However, the other party remained unmoved and continued to interrogate Lu Hongling.

"Soundproofing layer!" Lin Ping then noticed that a layer of soft material was pasted around the secret room, which served as a soundproofing effect.

In this way, even if Lin Ping shouts until his throat is hoarse, Jiang Yunying won't hear him.

Lin Ping held his breath and concentrated, trying to come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise they might really be killed.

Bangdang...

Before Lin Ping could come up with a solution, two men in black rushed in and shouted at him, "What's all the noise about? Believe me or not, I'll roast you alive!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ping shuddered, imagining the wooden stake as a giant barbecue grill, and replied tremblingly, "I have a meaty smell on my body, so I don't taste good."

"This one over there has delicate skin and flesh; she'll probably taste good." Another man in black smacked his lips, his eyes fixed on Xia Linglong.

"This is really heavy-handed..." Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat, not expecting that the man in black was not joking.

At the same time, Lin Ping had a sudden inspiration and quickly said, "What this brother says is absolutely right. This girl is not only delicious, but also very pretty. Let's eat her first..."

Upon hearing the word "little girl," the two men in black widened their eyes and stared intently at Xia Linglong, scrutinizing her. They actually noticed something about her, and their saliva dripped to the ground as they lewdly walked over.

"She really is a pretty young lady!"

One of them couldn't control himself and reached out his groping hand towards Xia Linglong's cheek...
