The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Because this base was built in the mountains, the whole place seemed to be covered with a thick layer of black cloth, blocking out all the light from outside. It was a base that could only be designed by a lunatic like Mo Chong.

The entire base, except for the torches and night pearls that brought light, seemed like a black hole that could suck in all people and objects, leaving only darkness.

Sitting on the stool, Yang Qi held his hands up, feeling bored. Now, in the dark environment, whether he opened his eyes or closed them, the scene he saw was exactly the same, all darkness, endless darkness.

Yang Qi closed his eyes helplessly. The place where Mo Chong arranged for him was just a smaller version of a cave. If he stayed here forever, he would go crazy sooner or later.

When he was first brought here, Yang Qi could still see the furnishings of the house clearly with the help of the torches on the road. Apart from a bed and a table, there was only a chair.

Seeing this scene, Yang Qi couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Fang Hua in Bibo Lane. He felt once again what it meant to be penniless.

But how can I escape from such a scene? I don't know where Adu and Chen Jing are. The most urgent thing is to find them first.

"Squeak." The base had just been built, but the sound of the door opening and closing was so loud. However, I don't know what material this door is made of, but it can block all the light, not a single light leaks in.

As soon as the door opened, the light from outside shone in. Yang Qi, who had been in the dark for a long time, felt a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands and put his other hand on his waist, quietly holding his dagger.

I wanted to wait for the person to speak before Yang Qi responded.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, no sound was heard.

Putting down the hands that were covering his eyes, Yang Qi looked at the person who came with a wary look on his face.

The man turned his body to the side to let more light from outside in. He was wearing a grey rag with holes. He was about forty years old, thin, and had wrinkles on his face. Perhaps because he had not seen the sun for many years, his face was a little pale.

One can tell at first glance that he has been working hard for many years and is malnourished.

"Who are you? It's Mo... What's the matter, Mr. Zhu?" Without waiting for the other party to ask, Yang Qi spoke first.

Hearing Yang Qi talking, the man hurriedly put down the paper and charcoal in his hand, then pointed to his throat, and babbled for a long time, but did not utter a single word.

Seeing the man's forehead covered with sweat, Yang Qi stood up with the help of the table, stared at him for a long time, and then continued to speak: "You can't speak?"

Seeing that Yang Qi understood what he meant, the visitor nodded eagerly.

Taking his hand off his waist, Yang Qi said hesitantly, "I'm a doctor, and my medical skills are pretty good. If it's convenient for you, I can help you check your throat."

After hearing Yang Qi's words, the man shook his head gloomily, thinking that his illness could not be cured.

After thinking for a while, Yang Qi added: "Don't worry, I'll show it to you for free."

Unexpectedly, after Yang Qi said this, the man's face became even more desolate, his eyes were red, and he shook his head.

There were soldiers on guard outside the house. Seeing that there was no movement inside, they urged impatiently, "Are you ready? Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"

Upon hearing the soldier's voice, the man shook subconsciously, then quickly pointed at the paper and ink, gesturing with his hands.

Yang Qi knew that Mo Chong only valued his medical skills at the moment and did not trust him, and there were probably more than one or two guards nearby.

Looking at the man's gesture, Yang Qi said, "Do you want me to write down all the herbs I need?"

Although the man's gestures were not clear, it was not difficult to guess his meaning in light of the current situation. He brought paper and carbon, and it was obvious that he wanted the man to write something.

After hearing Yang Qi tell what Mr. Zhu had told him, the man nodded repeatedly.

Taking the paper and charcoal on the table, Yang Qi looked at them with some disdain. There wasn't even a pen. He really knew how to adapt to the situation. He just took a piece of charcoal and gave it to himself.

Holding the carbon, Yang Qi did not hesitate and quickly wrote down the medicinal herbs he needed on the paper, then handed the paper back to the man.

"Here are all the herbs I need. Ask them to prepare them as soon as possible. By the way, can you tell me your name? My name is Xiaoqi." I don't know how long I will stay in this place. It will be inconvenient if I don't know my name.

Hidden in the dark, the man looked at Yang Qi's clear eyes and couldn't help being moved. In this dark place, he hadn't seen such clear eyes for a long time.

Holding the carbon, the man hesitated for a moment, quickly wrote his name on the table, then took the paper and went out.

Taking advantage of the light in the room, Yang Qi quickly glanced at the crooked handwriting left by the man, but could just barely make out: Wang Yi.

This name is really simple. I think it is one of the few characters that Wang Yi knows.

I don’t know when Wang Yi started following Mo Chong, and what the reason is?

As soon as Wang Yi left, the door of the house was locked again, and for a moment, all the light in the house was sucked out.

Groping in the dark, Yang Qi reached the bed and leaned against the stone wall, only now revealing a worried look.

It’s so annoying. What should I do in this situation?

How can I contact Ah Du and Chen Jing when these soldiers are watching so closely? I don't know what their current situation is. I guess they don't even have such conditions.

Just as Yang Qi expected, in the eyes of these soldiers, Adu and Chen Jing were obviously martial artists. The soldiers searched them more carefully, searching every part of their bodies.

Only after making sure that Adu and Chen Jing had no weapons did the soldiers lock them up in a cage at the bottom of the base. It was not only dark but also extremely humid.

Looking at the disheveled Chen Jing, Adu's eyes were like swords. He checked carefully, then slowly moved to Chen Jing's side and whispered, "How is it?" Now, all the weapons carried by him and Chen Jing were taken away by the soldiers. This was not a good thing.

Chen Jing seemed not to notice her own embarrassment at all: "Stop being so pretentious." Instead of having the energy to talk, she might as well save it for fighting.

Looking at the defensive looks of those soldiers just now, I’m afraid they won’t be able to guarantee normal meals in the next few days.

Hearing Chen Jing's words, Adu smiled helplessly, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

I don't know what the master's situation is. That Young Master Mo is a complete lunatic. He does not act according to common sense at all. The master can coax him for a while, but not for long.

Xiaoqing, Ayi, you better hurry up.

Now, Yang Qi, A Du and Chen Jing are extremely grateful that they made the decision to go their separate ways.

After careful consideration, Adu understood that the key to breaking this situation was Xiaoqing and Ayi. He had left marks for them along the way, including the most important cave entrance. As long as they could report the situation home in time, there would be a glimmer of hope. The second key was the master. He hoped that the master would be smarter and make sure to stabilize the madman when Xiaoqing and Ayi did not come back with anyone.
