"This...what should we do? Neither side can be easily provoked by us." Bai Qian was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
"What are you afraid of? Mo Tianyu is just a prisoner now. He is no longer the majestic prince of the past. No matter how powerful he is, he has been confiscated and exiled by the emperor, right? But we can't afford to offend the people from Xiaoyao Pavilion." Bai Wan pretended to be calm, but he was very panicked inside.
"But..." Bai Qian hesitated to speak.
Bai Wan interrupted him and said, "There's no but. Things have come to this point, let's just go all the way..." As he said this, Bai Wan made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Bai Qian looked at him and nodded in agreement.
Bai Wan continued, "Then let's take action tonight to avoid any more trouble."
Bai Qian nodded again and looked at Bai Wan with firm eyes.
So they started to discuss a plan of action to ensure everything went smoothly.
When Mo Tianyu and Ye Zirou returned to the wooden house, everyone gathered around them.
Xiaoqing anxiously stepped forward and held Ye Zirou's hand, and asked with concern: "Miss, how are you? Did they embarrass you?"
Long Yi and Mo Tianyu looked at each other, and Mo Tianyu shook his head slightly, indicating that they were all fine.
Ye Zirou comforted everyone, saying, "We are all fine, don't worry."
Everyone looked at them and saw that they were safe and sound, and the weight of relief finally fell from their hearts.
When Li Mao saw Ye Zirou returned to him safely, he immediately felt relieved, as if a huge rock of pressure had finally fallen to the ground.
However, when his gaze turned to Mo Tianyu, the expression on his face instantly turned gloomy.
Li Mao's face first showed relief, then turned fierce.
Wu Yong, who was standing by, looked at Li Mao's changes and was full of doubts.
After everyone calmed down a little, they began to discuss in low voices how to deal with the current predicament.
Ye Zirou was a little confused by the expressions of Bai Wan and Bai Qian just now.
"Tianyu, tell me, why did they become so panicked when they heard that you are the prince and I am the princess?
Especially Bai Qian, he looked like that before, but once he knew your identity, his expression changed immediately. Could it be that he was really afraid of your title as the God of War?"
"I don't think that's the case. It's clear that there are other reasons for their reaction."
Ye Zirou continued to ask, "Also, Bai Wan clearly said before that they were not the ones who drugged us, so who was it? Why were all of us defenselessly drugged? This is all too strange."
Mo Tianyu listened to Ye Zirou's question but did not rush to answer. Instead, he was silent for a moment and silently turned his gaze to Li Mao in the distance.
Ye Zirou noticed Mo Tianyu's gaze and looked in the direction he was looking.
"You suspect it's Li Mao?" Ye Zirou asked in surprise.
Mo Tianyu nodded gently without saying much.
"How is this possible? He has been quite tolerant towards us all along, even turning a blind eye. How could he suddenly do something like this?"
"Will you remember what I told you in the valley?"
"I remember, so you suspect he colluded with outsiders?"
"Ok!"
Ye Zirou was still full of doubts. In her opinion, Li Mao had absolutely no reason to do this.
Li Mao was very tolerant towards them along the way. Even the change in Wu Yong's attitude towards them was due to Li Mao. How could he possibly do such a cruel thing to them?
"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. If it's really him, he will definitely be exposed."
Mo Tianyu nodded and then asked.
"Rou'er, what should we do next? The security here is tight. If only a few of us want to fight our way out, it might be possible, but if we want to rescue the civilians, we have to think long and hard."
After Ye Zirou pondered for a moment, she waved to Long Yi, Long San, Zheng Fangxing and others to come closer.
After spending some time together, Zheng Fangxing learned martial arts from Long Yi and was now able to protect himself.
After all, I am young and learn things quite quickly.
At this moment, he held the sword tightly in his hand, his expression serious and determined.
Ye Zirou lowered her voice and said to everyone, "We are in deep trouble now, but we cannot just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to understand the layout of this stronghold and the guard rotation rules without causing a big commotion."
Long Yi nodded slightly.
"Long San and I can go explore under the cover of night, try to avoid those patrolling guards, and find out the exact location of the mountain."
Zheng Fangxing immediately straightened his chest and said, "I want to help, too. Although my martial arts skills are not very good, I will definitely not be a hindrance."
Ye Zirou looked at his determined eyes, smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then you just follow Long Yi and the others, and be careful."
Night fell quietly, and Ye Zirou shouted to the outside of the door.
"Someone is coming, someone is coming."
After hearing this, the bandit outside the door pushed the door open.
"What are you yelling about?"
Ye Zirou slowly approached, looking at them with a smile on her face, and then she waved her big hand gently in front of their eyes.
"I can yell whenever I want!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bandit fell straight to the ground.
When everyone looked over, they saw the two bandits fainted on the ground with suspicious looks on their faces.
After knocking out the guarding bandit, Ye Zirou would first quickly check the situation outside the door to see if there were other bandits patrolling nearby or who might come to check at any time.
"Everyone be quiet. If you want to leave here, you must listen to my arrangements." Ye Zirou said.
Everyone nodded, indicating that they were willing to follow her instructions.
This time, even the usually arrogant prisoners nodded obediently.
Because they knew very well that if they did not follow Ye Zirou's arrangements, they would probably be trapped here forever.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Ye Zirou felt a little relieved.
So, she turned to look at Long Yi and the others and nodded.
Long Yi and others began to act according to the plan.
They carefully moved through the shadows of the village, taking every step with extreme caution.
When they turned a corner, they suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps. They immediately stopped and hid behind a pile of debris nearby.
It turned out to be two guards walking over while chatting.
One of the guards said, "The boss and the second boss looked very strange today, as if they were discussing something important."
Another guard responded, "Who cares? We just need to do our job well. But I heard that the prince and princess are imprisoned here, so make sure nothing goes wrong."
After the two guards had passed by, Long Yi and the others continued to move forward.
They quietly bypassed several sentries and came to the back of the mountain village, which seemed to be the road leading down the mountain.
Long Yi observed the surrounding environment and found that there were several bandits guarding there.
