Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Pretending to be a Man and Still Being Hit on by Men?
The fierceness of the Obedience Pill was something Grandma Zhang had experienced, so naturally, she was not too surprised, but Qu Wei was different.
It was his first time seeing this thing, and it shocked him immensely.
“Sister Yueyue, what’s this thing, get me one too quick.”
“You don’t need this.”
“How come it’s useless, can’t you share some good stuff with your big brother?”
“This thing is not for everyone, if someone has a very strong will or is ruthless, it could end up being manipulated by them instead.”
Given Qu Wei’s performance tonight, Qi Yue patiently explained.
“If you find a use for it, let me know, and I’ll get you a better one.”
Upon hearing this, Qu Wei immediately chuckled.
Only then did Qi Yue begin to question the villain they had captured.
“What’s your name, what do you do, what’s your position?”
“My name is Zhang Xiaocheng, a junior attendant villain, I do odd jobs.”
“How old is the person you surrounded, and what does he look like?”
“About fifteen or sixteen, chubby, he’s a little fatso.”
“What did he do? How did you surround him?”
“He’s a minor leader of the Guyang bandits. Three days ago, our men spotted him in the Capital City and set up a scheme…”
It turns out Song Gensheng had wandered to the Capital City several times, had entered the Imperial City three times, and had retreated each time unscathed, impervious to swords and blades, which attracted the attention of the villains.
This time Song Gensheng was captured because of the betrayal of a companion.
After the villain finished explaining, Qi Yue kicked him straight to King Yan.
“Sister Yueyue, what do we do now? This person isn’t easy to rescue!”
She pondered for a moment, her expression serious, “Big brother, I have a very important matter to entrust to you.”
Seeing Qi Yue getting serious, Qu Wei immediately paid attention.
“Tell me, big brother is willing to go through fire and water for you…”
Seeing Qu Wei never forget to joke, Qi Yue was incredibly annoyed.
“Stop, it’s not your time to sacrifice your life yet. I need you to travel overnight to Fuzhou, rent a boat, prepare two sets of clothes and dry food, and meet me at the dock at 5-7 AM!”
Having said all this, Qu Wei was baffled.
“Sister Yueyue, are you sure you’re not making this difficult for me? At this time, you want me to rush to Fuzhou, and even rent a boat? And meet at 5-7 AM?”
“Yes, I will bring someone and reach there by that time. There will definitely be pursuers, so you must be ready to cover for me!”
Qu Wei was baffled again for a while, but as soon as he heard Qi Yue say he couldn’t do it, he immediately straightened his back.
“Big brother is setting off now!”
Seeing Qu Wei and Grandma Zhang mount and leave, Qi Yue finally sighed in relief.
She already had a plan for the rescue, but Grandma Zhang and Qu Wei staying here was just a burden, so it was better to send them away.
Only after they left could she unfold her full capabilities.
She looked around briefly, saw everything was normal, instantly stripped off the clothes from the dead villain, and kicked them into a nearby bush.
She then entered a space to change clothes and adjusted her facial features; now she had become one of the villains.
She had asked Qu Wei earlier, this group considered the person she replaced to be of the lowest rank, basically cannon fodder.
But that suited her, perfect for when it was convenient for her to approach Song Gensheng and take him out without anyone noticing.
Pretending to have just come back, Qi Yue easily blended into the midst of the villains.
It was also a coincidence, the person she replaced was thin and delicate, with a pretty face, and with her deliberate disguise, none of these people noticed.
Just as she settled in, someone next to her bared his teeth.
“You, where have you been lazing off to die? Let me tell you, if we don’t catch this person today, we’re both done for.”
Qi Yue quickly bowed her head and chuckled.
“I was just relieving myself, not slacking off.”
The person who spoke glared and kicked over.
“You’ve eaten a leopard’s gall, talking back now, huh!”
Qi Yue instantly thought of drawing her knife but remembering her current identity as the odd-jobs Zhang Xiaocheng, she held back and endured the kick.
“I wouldn’t dare, I really was just relieving myself.”
She smiled outwardly, but inwardly she was seething, waiting for a chance to hand this person his just deserts.
At that moment, someone turned around in front of her, a thug with an eagle on his chest, and Qi Yue hurriedly smiled at him.
The man glanced at her and stared at the other who had insulted her.
“What time is this, and you’re still acting all high and mighty?”
The man who had kicked her immediately responded submissively, “Master Fatou, it’s my fault, I won’t dare anymore.”
Seeing this, Qi Yue felt a surge of joy inside.
An opportunity had arrived.
She immediately stepped forward and ingratiatingly bowed to Fatou.
“Master Fatou, I was just away, how are the people inside, is there any way I can be of service?”
“You kid might as well save it, just keep a good watch. Lord Ba will be here soon, and he has his own ways,” Fatou glanced at her and said indifferently.
Lord Ba? Lin Changye?
The man she had met in an inn on the way to the Western Regions from Longnan Ridge.
Qu Wei had said he was the Grand Tutor Lin’s eighth adopted son, the real handler of the gang, an undisputed second-in-command.
Was he coming too?
This man was extremely fierce, and his Feidao Camp was mystically unpredictable. With his arrival, if she wanted to rescue Song Gensheng, she would have to go through him.
She pretended to be scared and moved closer to Fatou.
“Master Fatou, wasn’t it supposed to be a fire attack?”
Fatou snorted with laughter, his eyes continually observing her.
“It seems your trip was long enough. That was old news. Lord Ba’s latest command is to take him alive. Only smoke will be used, no fire.”
“Oh.”
Now Qi Yue was completely clear.
She quietly moved away from Fatou’s side, planning to get a closer look, but suddenly a hand landed on her shoulder and dragged her back.
“Where are you going? Don’t wander off.”
It was Fatou.
Qi Yue’s scalp tingled instantly.
Could Fatou have noticed something?
No, that couldn’t be; she felt her performance had been quite flawless, there shouldn’t be any slip-ups.
Could it be that Fatou had some special preferences? Had he taken a liking to Zhang Xiaocheng long ago?
Thinking of this possibility, Qi Yue felt goosebumps all over her body.
She hastened to grin sheepishly and freed her shoulder from Fatou’s grasp.
“Master Fatou, I just wanted to step out for a moment.”
“Didn’t you just go?” Fatou asked with a suspicious look.
“It’s just that I am nervous, and getting nervous makes me want to step out.”
“What’s there to be nervous about? Stay behind me later.”
“Yes.”
Goosebumps covered Qi Yue’s body, falling to the ground layer by layer.
She was now quite certain.
Without a doubt, Fatou had some special preferences.
What sort of luck was this?
To disguise as a man and still be flirted with by a man?
She wanted to cry but had no tears.
After standing for a bit longer, Qi Yue slipped away while Fatou was busy giving orders.
She quickly reached the backyard of the mansion, where more guards were stationed.
Fortunately, no one recognized Zhang Xiaocheng.
At this moment, she saw several thugs beginning to stack firewood around the mansion, and she quickly joined in, carrying firewood closer to the building.
During this, she deliberately dawdled, lagging behind the others, and when no one was paying attention, she hid under one of the shrubs in the courtyard and quickly entered the space.
It was a small manor. The house’s facilities were rather simple, not like the residences of well-off families with corridors and pavilions, with many hiding spots.
The house had just a small yard, and beyond that were a few rooms.
All the rooms were lit, and since Song Gensheng had not made any noise, she didn’t know which room he was in.
