C60 Saved

About an hour after he swallowed the pill, the teenager jumped off his horse. He found a nearby rock and made a simple stove. He started a fire and started to fry the second antidote.

"The second type of antidote requires one to last for a full seven quarters of an hour. A quarter of an hour for martial arts, and sixty-five minutes for Wen Huo. After the meal is done, it will be about time for Sixth Boss to drink his medicine. " The young man said as he added more dried twigs to the stove.

The sixth brother yawned, "Then I'll go to sleep for a while. Once the doctor is done frying the medicine, call me." As he spoke, he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes.

The youth nodded and said, "Alright."

After hearing the sixth brother's thunderous snores, the youth raised his head and glanced in his direction.

"Sixth Master?" The teenager called out to him softly, but Ol 'Six was still snoring as if he hadn't heard him at all.

The teenager tiptoed to the sixth brother's side and carefully opened the outer cloak. He took out the envelope from the boy's waist and took out the letter with other things written on it. After putting it back in the envelope, he returned the envelope to the sixth brother's waist and covered it again.

Just as he was about to leave, his sixth brother suddenly said something in his sleep, causing his hand to freeze. Fortunately, his sixth sister stopped talking and there was nothing else to do, so he quickly went back to concocting the medicine.

By the time they finally reached the outside of the inn, it was too late.

Six tied the horse to a tree by the side of the road and told the boy to wait for him there. Then he took off his cloak and climbed over the wall of the inn.

However, the youth didn't listen to him and stayed where he was. Not long after he climbed over the wall, he quietly followed him upstairs from a distance that was hard to detect.

After searching several rooms, he was finally certain that the person he was looking for was in the only room that had not turned out the light even at this late hour. He had just stuffed the letter into the crack in the door when he felt a sharp pain in his head and fell to the ground.

Everyone in the room had probably heard the commotion. Not long after the youth threw the stone in his hand, the door in front of him was opened from the inside.

The Qin Prefecture looked at the envelope that fell from the door, picked it up, and then at the skinny man lying on the ground and the flustered youth in front of him. He was stunned for a moment before opening his eyes wide in disbelief, "Princess?" Although this youth was dressed like a man, it wasn't hard to tell that the person before him was indeed the only bloodline present in the world today — — The Great Liang's Princess Yongle, Xiao Ya.

"Bring that bandit in and tie him up, does Imperial Guard Qin want me to do it myself?" Xiao Ya walked around Old Sixth, who was lying on the floor, and entered the room.

"I don't dare, your subordinate will do it right away." After saying that, Qin Zhou dragged the person into the room and took the rope from her. He tied the person to a chair and blocked her mouth along the way.

Xiao Ya poured a cup of hot tea for herself and took a sip from it before raising her head to look at the two people in the room and the hand-drawn map on the table. "Are you looking for royal uncle?"

"Yes." Qin Prefecture replied, "The prince hasn't returned since the night before yesterday when he went out with Miss Yin."

"Have you notified the local authorities?"

"Of course I've been notified, but so far, there has been no news."

"Then they must not have been looking for it." In the west side of the county, there is a Black Tiger Village, above which there is a Black Tiger Stronghold with about a hundred bandits. I have been trapped there for a few days, and have seen the same young lady as my uncle yesterday.

"Qin Prefecture, the letter in your hand contains the map I drew. You should go to Zhi County to find over a hundred elite soldiers. Don't forget to bring that guy along later. He is the Sixth Leader of the Black Tiger Stronghold. After she finished speaking, Xiao Ya shifted her gaze onto Xiang Qiao. "I've never seen you before by Uncle Huang's side. Are you Uncle Huang's subordinate as well?"

Qiao Qiao nodded. "Yes."

"Then that's enough. I heard that the subordinates of Imperial Uncle are not ordinary people. I estimate that you are not weak either." Come with me in a bit, there are two fast horses outside. " Xiao Ya put down the hot tea in her hand, got up and opened the door before leaving. She then hurriedly followed Qiao Qiao and the Qin Province.

The ink in the sky became thicker when Zhi Qiao followed Xiao Ya to the outskirts of the stronghold. Xiao Ya allowed her to put on her cloak and put on her hat before sitting on the back of the horse. She alighted from the horse and pulled the ropes of the two horses as she walked towards the entrance of the stronghold.

The two people guarding the entrance of the stronghold placed the spears in their hands horizontally in front of her: "Who are you?"

It will be the Sixth Master immediately. I am the medicine boy that learned medicine from the old doctor, so the Sixth Master came back late into the night after finishing his business. However, the Sixth Master is too tired to fall asleep on the horse, so if you wake the Sixth Master up, he might send you to feed Blacky and the others.

Hearing his words, one of them put down his spear, took the lantern hanging on the side, moved it close to Xiao Ya's face and looked at the horse that just happened to be sitting on. He then walked over to the man that was on duty with him: "It is indeed the Sixth Boss' horse and doctor's boy. Let them in. If they wake up the Sixth Boss, it would not be good."

As a result, the two easily entered the mountain stronghold.

When they reached a place with no one around, Xiao Ya coincidentally dismounted and asked, "Do you know how to unlock it?"

He nodded to Qiao Qiao. When Xiao Heng had asked her to keep an eye on Sang Ji, she had opened the lock and snuck in countless times to listen to their discussion.

"Then it'll be much easier. I'll bring you to their place of seclusion now." Xiao Ya leaned against the wall and stretched out her head to take a look. Then, she crooked her finger at Qiao Qiao, hinting her to follow him and be the first to leave.

They went all the way to the room where the iron gate had been changed and all the windows were nailed except for a small window about the same height as a beam. They were about to open the door of the room when a man with a lantern suddenly came and sat down at the door, blew out the lantern and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed.

"I'm going to take care of that person. Follow me and unlock the door." Xiao Ya took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose with it as she took out a porcelain bottle before quietly walking over.

She removed the stopper from the porcelain bottle and placed it on the tip of the man's nose. She shook it a few times, causing the man's head to tilt to the side. It was obvious that the medicine had taken effect. She put the porcelain bottle back and immediately beckoned to Qiao Qiao to come over.

The moment the door was pushed open, Yun Shu woke up from her dream and saw the moonlight shining through the slowly opening door. After clearly seeing who had entered, she hurriedly pushed Xiao Heng awake. "Coincidentally, he's coming."

Xiao Heng rubbed his eyes as he stretched and sat up. "I knew you would find me here soon. Hurry up and help me unlock the door."

"Yes." She immediately used the hairpin she had used to unlock the door to remove the chain around Xiao Heng's ankle.

The sound of the lock opening woke the other three people up. Not long later, Yun Shu heard the white clothed man's mocking laughter: "You still say that you didn't rely on a woman, but don't tell this young master that the one who saved you is a man disguised as a woman."

Thinking of the possibility of leaving this damned place, Xiao Heng's mood improved greatly. "This humble one has too many peach blossoms that I can't block. If you're jealous, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Hearing his mocking words, both Yun Shu and the black clothed man chuckled.

However, soon after, footsteps could be heard from outside. Immediately after, a person walked to the door that was opened. Leaning behind the door, Yun Shu didn't even think as she knocked him out with a knife in her hand, preventing him from attracting other people's attention.

Seeing that this person had already been knocked out by Yun Shu, Xiao Ya lightly patted her heart and said, "It's a good thing that you managed to make a move quickly, Big Sister Yan."

"Little friend, do you know me?"

"It's a long story. Let's wait until we're out of this situation. I'll tell you in detail. If there were still people coming this way, we might not be so lucky. Uncle's subordinate did not know how long it would take him to open all the locks, so we have to think of a way to prevent them from coming this way. "

"That is simple. We just need to leave them without any means of escape," Yun Zhuang said after a moment's thought.

Xiao Ya slightly nodded her head. "But what should we do?"

"Do you know where they put the food or valuables?" Yun Zhuang asked with a smile.

Xiao Ya: "I only know of the place where they store their food. I passed by it once when I went to get the medicinal ingredients."

"Is it far from here?"

Xiao Ya nodded.

Yun Shu said, "Very good, can you take me there now? Also, do you have a fire sickle for me to borrow? "

Xiao Ya didn't hesitate to pass the Fire Scythe to her.

They avoided the patrolling men and took a long detour to the grain depot. The door to the warehouse was locked. The two pierced through the window and peered inside. After finding no one inside, they found hay and dried branches and piled them on the wall outside the warehouse. But there wasn't enough hay and dead twigs to burn the whole warehouse.

Yun Shu suddenly recalled the words of the perfume seller. Although she was reluctant, she still took out the glass bottle from her sleeve and poured the perfume on the wall, which was never covered by the dry branches of the hay, all the way to the inflammable window frame.

A glass bottle barely managed to spill all the windows in the warehouse. Yun Shu threw the glass bottle into the pile of hay. Just as she lit the fire with the fire sickle, the fire spread to the window sill.

Yun Shu patted Xiao Ya's shoulder. "Call them to come help the fire."

Xiao Ya immediately understood what was going on. She shouted as she ran, "We've gone astray! Quick, put out the fire, put out the fire! "I've gone astray …"

When Yunshu saw that Xiao Ya had already run far away, the men of the village began carrying buckets of water towards the warehouse, so he avoided them and headed towards the house where Xiao Hengfeng and the rest were.

The fire behind them was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people were carrying buckets of water towards that direction. No one noticed that the four "money trees" that were locked away had already been emptied of people.

When they remembered the people in that room, they went to take a look. Someone had come in from outside the stronghold to inform the soldiers that they were on their way up the mountain.

The people in the village were busy packing up their belongings and running away. They didn't expect that just as they left the stronghold, there would be several rows of archers waiting for them. The hundred men then realized that they had no other choice but to surrender and fight with their lives on the line.
