Boss Dao was brought here, escorted by two men in black. He was slightly injured and had bloodstains on his face. It seemed that he was beaten for refusing to cooperate.
When he saw Zi'an, his eyes lit up with joy, "Princess!"
Zi'an folded his hands, flicked his fingers on his arms, and looked at Boss Dao.
Boss Dao just rushed over, and his brute force made it impossible for the two men in black to resist. However, he was hit by a stick by the man in black at the door. Boss Dao groaned and fainted.
"You..." Zi'an was furious, looking at the noble concubine fiercely, "He is just worried about me, there is really no need for you to be so harsh."
The noble concubine looked at her with a smile, "He is full of brute force. How can he be obedient if he doesn't use some force? Now that you have met him, can you write the letter?"
"Okay, let me eat first." Zi'an said simply.
The noble concubine was not vague either, and ordered people to prepare food. Zi'an smiled and said, "I want to drink some wine."
"As you wish, but if you play tricks this time, I won't be so easy to deal with next time." After saying this, the noble concubine turned around and went out. "Write it as soon as you finish eating, and come back when you're done."
The food served was just wild mountain vegetables, no meat, a bowl of white rice, and a pot of water.
After the food was delivered, the stone door was closed, leaving only a tiny light illuminating the secret room.
Zi'an had tested it with a golden needle and found that it was non-toxic, but he thought it was unnecessary. She was now in the hands of the noble concubine, so there was no need to use poison to kill her.
Pour out a glass of water and drink it slowly. If you are very thirsty, don't drink it in a hurry.
After drinking the water, Zi'an ate slowly, chewing his food carefully, and stopped after eating half a bowl.
Not long after, someone came in with some hay and spread it on the ground. He also didn't say a word and left after finishing spreading it.
Zi'an paused for a moment, picked up the wine and scattered it in the four corners of the secret room, saying, "Aunt Ah She said that if she sprinkled the wine and called your name, you would appear. Let's see if you really understand human nature."
Then he continued to eat, first putting a handful of rice in his sleeve pocket, and then eating the rest of the white rice and the wild vegetables, before slowly walking to the hay and lying down.
Boss Dao might not be able to see her intention. The Scar Rope had been wrapped around her arm. She hoped that Boss Dao could see her intention of holding her arms with both hands.
However, he is afraid that he himself may not be able to escape and find Scarlett.
As long as we find Scarlett and untie it, according to Aunt Ase, Scarlett will follow the smell of alcohol.
Of course, we also have to give Boss Dao a chance to escape.
Zi'an deduced that there were not many people in the mountain now, because she had seen the two men who were escorting the knife boss when the stone gate was opened.
Everyone should have been ordered by the noble concubine to go down the mountain and carry out the mission.
She gave herself another injection, ate her meal and drank some water, and felt her strength slowly returning.
Zi'an picked up the tung oil lamp and lit the hay.
This move is a desperate attempt to survive. I hope that the noble concubine really doesn't want her to die.
The fire shot up into the sky. Zi'an kicked the fire, kicking the burning hay to the top. The vines were a little wet and difficult to burn, so Zi'an smashed the tung oil lamp on them, and the fire spread immediately.
Zi'an pushed the chairs and table over again, and burned the four treasures of the study in the fire.
Zi'an rushed to the stone door and knocked hard, "Come on, there's a fire, there's a fire."
The stone door was not opened, but the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard.
The fire was approaching. It couldn't burn the entire secret room, but it would quickly burn all the air. Zi'an already felt difficulty breathing.
Just when she felt that she couldn't breathe, the stone door opened, and someone rushed in, dragging her out by her hair. She felt pain, but did not resist. If she resisted now, she would only suffer more.
Many people went in with buckets of water to put out the fire. Zi'an felt relieved when he saw more and more people coming. If everyone came here to put out the fire, Boss Dao should be able to think of a way to escape.
Zi'an was held in a narrow passage, and the firefighters ran past her.
Not long after, the noble concubine also came. She ordered people to drag her into an open space next to it. There was no door here, so it was not a secret room, but just an open space slightly larger than the passage.
The noble concubine stared at her and suddenly slapped her in the face, "If you don't drink my toast, you will be punished!"
Zi'an said with a smile: "Why should the noble concubine be angry? It was just an accidental leak. Would I want to burn myself to death?"
"Xia Zian, don't think I don't know what you are up to. I warn you, this is your last chance. If it happens again, I will kill Lao Ba immediately."
"Okay, okay, please calm down. I won't resist anymore, okay?" Zi'an begged for mercy quickly.
The noble concubine looked back at the people who were trying to put out the fire and asked angrily, "Is the fire out?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the fire has been extinguished. Now only thick smoke is left. Once the smoke dissipates, we can detain him." The man in black reported.
There really weren't many secret rooms here, and this was the only one that held people captive. Even though it had been burned, the noble concubine had no choice but to hold Zi'an back.
After the fire was extinguished, the man in black dragged Zi'an back. As soon as Zi'an entered the room, he started coughing. The smoke made his eyes hurt and tears streamed down his face.
The noble concubine stood at the stone door and said coldly, "It's your own fault!"
Because of the thick smoke, they were really afraid that Zi'an would be suffocated to death, so the stone gate was not closed immediately. Of course, the noble concubine did not leave either.
A familiar "swoosh" sound was heard in the air. Zi'an suddenly laughed, rushed out, and grabbed the noble concubine's neck with one hand, "Noble concubine, may I borrow your body for a moment."
The noble concubine was not afraid at all. "Do you think you can escape? It's useless even if you catch me. Even if you kill me, you can't get out."
Zi'an stretched out her hand, and saw a golden rope flying over and instantly wrapped around her arm. She looked at the noble concubine and sneered: "It's different now. Even if I kill you now, I can still escape."
The men in black immediately surrounded them. Zi'an grabbed Concubine Gui's neck and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The noble concubine sneered, "It's useless. Unless I give the order myself, they will not listen to anyone else's orders."
"Then please speak up, Noble Concubine." Zi'an pinched her neck, making a rattling sound. The Noble Concubine's face turned purple, but she still looked at Zi'an with disdain, and had no intention of giving orders.
Boss Dao has rushed in, swinging a big knife in his hand, fighting with the man in black.
Boss Dao was no match for these people, so Zi'an had to push Concubine Gui away and rush forward with Scar Cloth in his hand.
Zi'an's Muay Thai was particularly effective in this narrow passage. Although he lacked strength, his punches were fast and hit the vital points. The opponent's excellent swordsmanship was useless. It was even difficult for two people to walk side by side here. Zi'an swung his sword, bent down, and chopped the wall, sending out flames.
However, Zi'an thought about his physical strength and decided not to continue the fight. He shouted to Dao Lao Da, "Get down, I'm going to release the poison powder."
She took out something from her sleeve pocket and threw it at the men in black and the noble concubine. They covered their mouths and noses one after another. Zi'an grabbed Dao Lao Da and ran away.
Zi'an yelled, "I've invited you to dinner, no need to thank me!"
