When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xinyue saw the light from the small air vent above her head change from dark to bright, and then from bright to dark again, and the room gradually fell into darkness again.

Even when the candle was about to burn out, no one came in to replace it.

Another day has passed, and time seems to be particularly long while waiting.

The moon was at its zenith, and the other people in the room huddled together in groups of three or four and fell asleep.

She had no mood to sleep.

Suddenly, a "ding ding" sound came from somewhere.

Before Xu Xinyue could look around, a very light voice came from above: "Miss Xu..."

If she hadn't fallen asleep, she probably wouldn't have heard it at all.

Xu Xinyue looked up and saw the roof tiles above her being gently lifted, revealing a pair of eyes! ?

Xu Xinyue was almost frightened to the point of falling backwards. The voice above hurriedly explained, still in a whisper: "Miss Xu, it's me, Qingyang!"

"Qingyang!? You are here, has the prince arrived?"

"Miss Xu, please rest assured. The prince has already found this place. I am here to explore the way. Miss Xu, are you injured?"

Xu Xianyue looked around and said, "I'm fine, nothing is hurt. You don't need to worry."

"In that case, I will rescue you in a moment, Miss Xu, you can rest assured."

Qingyang was afraid that she was really anxious, so he kept comforting her.

Qingyang thought she was the only one in the room, so she jumped to the door and wanted to use her "unique skills" to unlock it with wire.

Xu Xianyue came to the door, leaned close to the crack and said to Qingyang: "Qingyang, I am not alone here."

Qingyang paused as he was unlocking the door and looked up in surprise.

Xu Xinyue told Qingyang about the news of the past two days.

"Miss Xu, are you saying that your father's rice, cargo boxes, and the group of tenants are all inside? And they are all here?"

"Well, so they are witnesses. I want to take them all away if possible."

Qingyang was in a dilemma, as he was the only one who came this time. If he only took Xu Xinyue away, it would be easy. However, if he alarmed the group of people in the room and took them away as well as the physical evidence, it would be difficult to deal with.

He came in when it was late at night, when everyone was resting and the patrol soldiers were changing shifts.

What if we alarm these bandits...

Xu Xinyue knew his difficulty, so she moved closer to the crack in the door and said to Qingyang, "Qingyang, come closer. I have a plan."

The two of them whispered to each other.

After hearing this, Qingyang nodded in agreement, but he had to report such action to the prince.

"Miss Xu, please wait here for a while. I will report to the prince."

"Ok!"

After seeing Qingyang leave, Xu Xinyue felt a little more at ease. She turned around and was about to go back to her original place, but she saw that the others had woken up. In the dark night, they were all looking at her with bright eyes.

Xu Xinyue was caught off guard and was so frightened that her back suddenly hit the door panel.

"You all, wake up..."

After a short time together, Xu Xinyue roughly knew that the old woman was most likely the leader of this group of people.

She knelt down and came to Xu Xinyue and said, "My dear boy, I didn't recognize you before.

You must be a rich young man from a wealthy family. Your family is here to look for you.

Could you please be kind enough to...save us?"

"Yes, please take us out too..." As soon as the words were spoken, the others also knelt down and kowtowed to beg.

Xu Xinyue's voice was too loud and disturbed the patrolling night soldiers outside, so she quickly waved her hand to signal them to keep the noise down.

The old woman understood, made a gesture to everyone, and continued to look at Xu Xinyue with pleading eyes.

Xu Xinyue said: "You don't have to tell me this. I will take you with me when I go out. But I have a condition."

"You say!" Hearing that Xu Xinyue was willing to save them, the old woman unconsciously became respectful to her.

"After you get out, no matter who your previous master was, I want you to work for me in the future."

The men and women looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

It was the old woman who answered: "I have figured it out these past few days. We were sold here as ownerless people... If you don't mind, we are willing to serve you."

"You don't need to worry. I don't want you to do anything harmful. I just have some plans. You can still do your old business, but you have a new master."

The old woman suddenly realized something and said, "Young man... you want to..."

Xu Xinyue put her index finger to her lips and made a gesture of silence.

"I have a plan. If you do as I say, I will get you all out."

Everyone nodded and agreed: "As long as we can get out, we will agree to whatever the lady says."

……

In the dark night, a few figures flashed past the top of the village.

Xu Xinyue and his companions held their breath and waited quietly.

Gradually, bursts of noise were heard outside the door, becoming louder and more chaotic.

There seemed to be faint shouting, cries for help, and the sounds of swords clashing.

Xu Xinyue looked out through the crack in the door and saw flames shooting up into the sky from many places in front of him.

The people who were supposed to be patrolling outside the door also rushed over after hearing the noise.

The situation outside is chaotic right now, so it's a good time to fish in troubled waters.

Xu Xinyue turned around and quickly gave them a final instruction: "Someone will come to open the door soon. There are more than ten of us here. If we go out together, we will be too conspicuous.

Therefore, when the time comes, everyone will disperse and head towards the entrance of the stronghold from different directions. If they really cannot escape, they will first hide. There will be people suppressing the bandits outside, and they will show up after the unrest has subsided.

I provide opportunities, I can't take care of everyone, whether you can get out depends on your own cleverness!"

At this juncture, Xu Xinyue knew that she could not take on so much responsibility and put everyone's safety on her own shoulders.

A target that is too large will only reduce their chances of escaping.

If caught up, it is easy to be caught in one fell swoop.

It would be better for them to disperse and escape as many as possible.

They were still very grateful for the chance to escape: "Thank you, little brother."

There was a metallic chopping sound outside the door. Everyone in the room was startled and huddled together.

With a "swing", the door lock fell to the ground.

Qingyang pushed the door open and walked in. Without saying anything, he pointed at the door and said, "Hurry!"

Everyone understood and rushed out according to the previous plan. Like fish into the sea, they disappeared into the night in twos and threes.

"Miss Xu, let's go too. The fire we just set has alarmed their crossbow team, and I can't take you away from above."

Xu Xinyue frowned. Crossbow team? This was something he had never expected. He hoped that this group of people could escape safely.

"Miss Xu, let's get out quickly. Only if you leave the stronghold as soon as possible can the prince concentrate on annihilating this place in one fell swoop."

"it is good!"

After the two of them finished talking, they ran towards the entrance of the village.
