My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

When the riots broke out, everyone in the mall had fled. However, many of the dishes sold in the mall still looked freshly cooked, and you could even see steam rising from them.

Ji Yunshuang first went to a dessert shop and got a cream puff. She ate the cream puff while strolling around the mall.

Finally, we went into a Sichuan restaurant and got a freshly made Maoxuewang (a Sichuan dish), a brown sugar glutinous rice cake, steamed Jiangtuan (a type of fish), sliced ​​beef and tripe in chili sauce, and fried rice with egg. We then slowly began to eat.

On the other side, Xia Biao was also happily enjoying his meal.

Shen Ling and the others also woke up one after another.

As soon as everyone woke up, they were drawn to Xia Biao and the large table of food in front of him.

Firstly, they had been working from dawn till dusk these past few days and hadn't had a proper meal, so they were starving right now.

Secondly, the food on the table smelled so good that some of them were even awakened by the aroma.

The aroma was so enticing that everyone swallowed hard.

At the same time, their predicament was also discovered.

Dozens of them were bound hand and foot with ropes and left in a remote, unidentified forest.

Jiang Liu looked up at the towering trees overhead and whispered to Shen Ling beside him, "Boss, do you know how long we've been unconscious?"

Shen Ling was also observing the surrounding environment.

He thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the closest place to where we had the accident is Taihe County, which has such deep mountains and forests. If that person brought us to the deep mountains and forests of Taihe County, then we must have been unconscious for at least two or three days."

As he spoke, he checked his physical condition again, and then his brows furrowed.

If they had been unconscious for two or three days, he should have been much weaker. However, although he was hungry, he wasn't that weak.

For a moment, he began to doubt his own judgment.

But if they weren't in the deep mountains and forests of Taihe County, where were they?

And why put them in the deep mountains and forests?

The woman's tone clearly suggested she was from the imperial court and had discovered the true purpose of their trip.

When officials from the imperial court interrogate people, shouldn't they be put in the imperial prison?

Not only Shen Ling couldn't understand it, but Xu Xi couldn't understand it either.

Although they couldn't figure it out, they all shared the same thought: to escape while the man was eating and not paying attention to them.

Xu Xi pretended to fall to the ground by accident and secretly bit the rope tied to Liang Zhonglin's wrist.

Xia Biao saw their actions but remained completely calm, continuing to devour the food on the table.

Even if they break free of the ropes, so what? Can they escape?

Thinking back to the days when he was imprisoned and enslaved, Xia Biao shuddered.

That's terrifying, he needs to eat more quickly.

Just as Xia Biao had predicted, Xu Xi and the others were unable to bite open the ropes binding their hands.

Xu Xi felt like he was about to bite his teeth off; he wanted to curse inwardly. What was this rope made of? How could it be so hard!

If Ji Yunshuang were here, she would tell him not to waste his energy, as these ropes are modern nylon ropes, which he could not possibly bite through with his teeth.

Moreover, the knots Xia Biao tied for them were the execution rope technique she learned from a police officer friend during the apocalypse. This method of tying knots was not only fast but also secure and not easily loosened.

After biting the rope for a while, Xu Xi and the others belatedly realized why the other party hadn't gagged them and had just left them in the woods.

It was entirely because the other side was certain that they had no way to escape.

Xu Xi finally gave up her futile efforts, sat up straight, and asked Xia Biao, "Who exactly are you people? Why are you arresting us?"

Xia Biao finally put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Xi, saying, "I'm afraid you haven't figured out your situation yet!"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and continued eating.

Xu Xi and the others were already drooling over the aroma, and now, seeing him eating a piece of delicious-looking pork rib in front of them, they couldn't help but swallow.

After finishing a piece of pork rib, Xia Biao said slowly, "Do you think we don't know what your prince asked you to do? Let me tell you, everything is under the control of my master."

Not only your two teams, but the other team as well, have all been arrested by my master.

My master is only giving you a chance because she values ​​your talent. You'd better tell the truth, or you'll starve to death here!

Xu Xi scoffed, "Since you already know, what else do you want us to explain?"

Xia Biao said disdainfully, "I already said, this is an opportunity given to you by my master!"

My master is incredibly insightful; what doesn't she know? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; it all depends on whether any of you are clever enough.”

"You are loyal to Prince Duan, but what am I doing this for? It's nothing more than getting promoted and making money! But in my opinion, the people you're following aren't any particularly capable ones. But my master is different. With my master's abilities, if you follow her, you'll surely rise to great heights."

Xu Xi still scoffed.

But some of the lower-ranking soldiers did waver.

After all, they had all witnessed Ji Yunshuang's prowess.

But it's impossible for them to betray their former allies and join their master just because of this.

Xia Biao wasn't in a hurry. After finishing his meal, he wandered around in the woods.

Then he discovered that, just as he had thought, this forest was just like the place where he had farmed before. It looked like there was nothing to cover the area, but in reality, there was no way to get out.

He found a flat spot, lay down, and fell fast asleep.

Xu Xi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment!

Liang Zhonglin asked suspiciously, "He just fell asleep like that?"

Xu Xi also suspected something was amiss and whispered, "Let's wait and see!"

Soon, Xia Biao started snoring!

A sense of absurdity arose in everyone's hearts, but they couldn't care less about that now and hurriedly started biting each other's ropes.

Just like before, even though everyone nearly bit off their own teeth, they still couldn't bite the rope off.

On the other side, after finishing her meal, Ji Yunshuang took out the mysterious flower nectar, made herself a cup of milk, drank it, and then lay down on the big bed to sleep soundly.

While Ji Yunshuang was sleeping soundly, Lu Yinheng was leading a group of men in a battle against Qi Jun, who were disguised as bandits.
