Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Although he was not sure about Xiao Zhixue's real purpose, Fan Yanmu felt a little uneasy. If she also came for the secret letter, then the position of both of them would probably become extremely awkward.

He quickly sneaked into the mayor's bedroom, only to see the couple sleeping soundly, unaware of the intrusion.

Fan Yanmu secretly speculated in his heart that Xiao Zhixue must be behind all this calm.

The search in the bedroom was more cautious; the empty jewelry boxes did not catch his attention.

Until he knocked on the walls around him, looking for the subtle secret.

Finally, on a seemingly ordinary wall, he found a strange echo.

After careful inspection, a dent in the wall gradually appeared. After pressing it, a piece of the wall slid away silently, revealing the secret letter hidden inside.

Fan Yanmu was secretly delighted and quickly put the secret letter away, feeling fortunate that Xiao Zhixue did not come for this.

After restoring the secret compartment, he left without hesitation and happened to meet Ying Yi who had hurried back.

"Master, have you got the secret letter?" Ying Yi's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Fan Yanmu nodded slightly, and without stopping, the two of them left quickly, heading straight for the gloomy dungeon.

I originally thought that I would meet Xiao Zhixue there, but when I arrived, she had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a heavily guarded but seemingly peaceful dungeon.

More doubts arose in Fan Yanmu's mind. Why didn't Xiao Zhixue rush to save people, but instead went deep into the tiger's den?

Could it be that they really have overlapping ulterior motives?

Seeing this, Ying asked in a low voice: "Master, should we still wait for her here?"

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is really no reason to stay any longer.

This scene was very different from his master Fan Yanmu, who usually acted swiftly and made decisive decisions, and Ying Yi, who had followed him for many years, couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Fan Yanmu's expression was more solemn than usual, and he said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer."

Although Yingyi was full of doubts in his heart, he remained silent as usual and obeyed orders loyally. He hid in a dark corner with his master, holding his breath and waiting together.

At this moment, the night was like a layer of soft black gauze, gently covering Jinguan Town, and Xiao Zhixue had quietly approached the door of the treasury, which seemed to have lax security.

Outside the treasury, two guards looked quite lazy. They were leaning against the door, on the edge of sleep, completely unaware that danger was about to come.

She slowly took out the mysterious potion called "sleeping drug" from her arms and blew it lightly at the two guards. Just one touch on their skin, and the two guards collapsed to the ground like kites with broken strings and fell into an endless sleep.

Afterwards, Xiao Zhixue took out a silver needle as thin as a hair from her bag that seemed to be able to hold everything, and fiddled with the lock with skillful techniques. With a slight "click" sound, the heavy door opened.

Stepping into this treasure trove, you will see sparkling jewels, quaint calligraphy and paintings, and priceless antiques, each of which sparkles with an alluring glow.

There was a gleam of pride and joy in Xiao Zhixue's eyes, and a satisfied curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Faced with these coveted treasures, how could she be willing to let them continue to be the mayor's private playthings?

So, she activated the secret space storage technique and mercilessly took all of this into her own bag.

The mission was successfully completed. Xiao Zhixue's heart was filled with the joy of victory, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she left the warehouse with a brisk pace.

As the door closed, the sound of chains resounded through the empty corridor. She turned around and walked towards the dungeon with a determined look.

Just as she was approaching the dungeon, she unexpectedly discovered Fan Yanmu and Ying Yi standing quietly in a dark corner. When they heard the noise, they looked back vigilantly. After recognizing that it was Xiao Zhixue, Fan Yanmu's brows showed a bit of doubt.

He knew very well that it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to ask the truth directly from Xiao Zhixue.

Therefore, he decided not to ask any more unnecessary questions and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible after completing the mission of rescue and obtaining the secret letter.

Xiao Zhixue originally predicted that the two would directly evacuate the mayor's mansion after completing their respective tasks, but she never thought that they would wait for her here.

But soon, a warm feeling surged in her heart. Having companions to help her was undoubtedly a great help.

She took out a bottle of special medicine powder and a thin bamboo tube from her space ring, poured the powder in carefully, aimed it at the entrance of the dungeon, and blew gently. The powder spread silently with the flow of air.

Xiao Zhixue quickly signaled Fan Yanmu and Ying Yi to cover their mouths and noses to avoid being affected by the powder.

At the same time, the guards who were still dreaming of catching Xiao Zhixue fell to the ground unconscious after inhaling this strange gas.

Everything happened so suddenly and so quietly.

After the drug took effect, Xiao Zhixue calmly put away the bamboo tube and quickly moved towards the depths of the dungeon like a ghost.

Fan Yanmu silently observed this series of actions from the side, and couldn't help but look at her with admiration. He thought to himself that this Miss Xiao was really skilled, and he was afraid that even the mayor and his wife could not escape her "drug".

The three of them went deeper into the dungeon in the flickering light of torches. The narrow and long passage seemed like the entrance to another world, and the darkness was filled with depression and despair.

The sound of a child crying echoed in the claustrophobic space, followed by a deafening rude roar that threatened to drown out all other noise in the darkness.

The crying stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell into silence again, as if even breathing became heavy.

Xiao Zhixue tiptoed around the corner and saw a prison guard who was neglecting his duty, lying on the table and snoring loudly.

After turning the corner, the scene was heartbreaking. The children of Shangqiao Village huddled in the corner, their frightened eyes filled with helplessness and tear marks on their cheeks.

The adults in the village, including Xiao Zhixue's relatives, were imprisoned in several cells separately. There was also unspeakable despair and expectation in their eyes.

Xiao Tingrui was in a corner of the cage when he suddenly caught a glimpse of his sister's figure, and his eyes lit up instantly.

He was about to tell his mother Zhou Shuqiong and brother Xiao Wei impatiently that his sister had arrived and the savior was right in front of him, but he was stopped by Xiao Zhixue's timely "silence" gesture.

He suddenly realized the danger around him and immediately suppressed his excitement. He glanced vigilantly at the sleeping jailer with mixed feelings.

The sudden crying just now, although sharp enough to pierce the silence of the night, seemed to only make the sleeping jailer frown slightly, without disturbing his deep dream at all.

At this moment, it was undoubtedly more difficult than before to make him fall asleep again.

Xiao Zhixue, dressed in plain clothes, braved the danger alone. Her figure looked particularly lonely and brave in the night.
