Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

Wu Lao Er thought for a moment, then gently patted Ling Yun's cheek.

"Alright, Grandpa will untie you so we can both be comfortable. But I'm warning you beforehand, don't test my patience. If I find out you're trying to escape... hehehe... you know what will happen!"

Li Ergou's words make sense. With such a large village and so many brothers, if this guy really dares to run away, he can just shout and all his men will come out. He won't be able to escape.

Thinking this, he began to loosen the ropes binding Ling Yun's hands.

His mind was filled with thoughts of what was about to happen, and he was so impatient that after untying the rope, he pounced on Ling Yun.

He was a bit too impatient and didn't see Ling Yun's clenched fist.

Li Ergou was rubbing his hands together, eager to try it out. It was his first time witnessing something like this, and he was incredibly excited. He had to learn from his second brother so he could get started later.

Ling Yun's hands had just been untied, and before he could even react, Wu Erwa pounced on him like a pig.

He clenched his fist tighter and tighter. This was what the princess had handed him when he left her side, and she had explained its purpose and effects to him.

Right now, Wu Erwa was lying on top of him, and Li Ergou was watching him intently with great interest. Even administering the drug required some effort from him.

But if we don't act now, it will be too late.

His clothes were almost being ripped off. The princess had told him that this stuff could only be sprinkled on his clothes and absolutely could not get on his skin.

Thinking this, he pushed Wu Erwa, who was lying on top of him.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We have all night anyway. You've been holding my hand down, and it's making me uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Wu Erwa cursed impatiently, but still straightened up and released Ling Yun's hand.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ling Yun switched the medicine powder in his hand, from his right hand to his left. His movements were quick and natural, and neither Wu Erwa nor Li Ergou noticed.

Not only did they not notice, but Li Ergou stood to the side with shining eyes, as if he had discovered some new continent.

Yo.

Nobody told him that playing with men is so exciting.

This man is much more obedient than those women before. Not only does he listen obediently, but he also knows to take the initiative, unlike those women who resisted desperately in the end. Although it was exciting to play with them, it got boring after a while.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone so proactive in greeting and flattering him.

Brother Wu, you really have good taste!

Ling Yun's face remained expressionless, but his hand reached out to a place where Wu Erwa and Li Ergou couldn't see, and he discreetly opened the packet of powder in his hand, then, taking advantage of the shadows, sprinkled the powder all over his coat.

After scattering the powder, they threw the paper containing the powder into a corner. The room wasn't very bright, so Li Ergou and Wu Erwa didn't notice anything.

Wu Erwa became increasingly excited, and he ripped off all his clothes, revealing his bare upper body, and pounced on Ling Yun again.

Ling Yun endured the discomfort and waited for a while. Before long, Wu Erwa's movements slowed down. He would scratch and fidget on his body from time to time, accompanied by low laughter.

After a while, he stopped completely, sat down to the side, and kept scratching his body, head, and face, while laughing intermittently.

Li Ergou was completely focused on Ling Yun at the moment and didn't notice Wu Erwa's strange behavior, assuming he was just having fun.

He shook his head inwardly.

This Wu Erwa...

It doesn't seem to be working.

That's it?

He didn't bother asking any more questions; it was his turn next.

"Well then, Brother Wu, you're all done, so here I come. I won't stand on ceremony!"

He couldn't wait to take off his coat and pounce on Ling Yun.

Following Wu Erwa's earlier actions, he began to grope Ling Yun.

Just as he was getting excited, he suddenly felt an itch on his neck and chest. He reached out to scratch it, and after a few scratches, he felt an itch on his back, thighs, face, and head as well.

He lost interest in bothering Lingyun and sat back down like Wu Lao Er, scratching himself incessantly and occasionally letting out a low laugh, looking like a madman.

The two scratched themselves harder and harder, drawing blood from their bodies. Their bodies went limp, and they laughed and convulsed incessantly. They lay on the ground, writhing like two maggots.

Ling Yun quickly got up and was completely stunned by what he saw.

Good heavens, what exactly is this powder that the princess gave him?

Just a little bit is enough to turn these two into this!

They can even laugh and scratch themselves at the same time; anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them were incredibly happy!

If someone were to walk by outside at this moment, they certainly wouldn't notice anything unusual happening inside the house; they would just think the people were having too much fun.

It must be said that the medicine powder the princess gave him was really effective!

He quickly got up, tied up the two people on the ground, gagged them with strips of cloth, then opened the door, looked around to make sure no one was watching, before quickly leaving the house, closing the door behind him, and hiding.

The princess had told him to go out later, as the bandits outside were still awake, and going out now would make him easy to be discovered.

He planned to find a place to hide first, and then go out to release the people after the bandits had fallen asleep. Anyway, the bandits had arrested a lot of people today, and they were not familiar with his face. Even if the bandits checked, they probably wouldn't be able to tell that he had escaped.

While searching for a hiding place, Ling Yun thanked Ji Yunshu profusely from beginning to end. If it weren't for Ji Yunshu today, he would be finished.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Ji Yunshu saved his life.

On the other side

Inside the cage, all those who had been captured and imprisoned tonight sat staring at each other, too afraid to sleep in this environment.

Of everyone, only Ji Yunshu was quietly sleeping with her eyes closed.

People would occasionally cast curious glances at her.

I really don't know how Ji Yunshu could fall asleep in this kind of environment.

Surrounded by wolves, she still had the mind to sleep!

Every now and then, someone would try to come up to Ji Yunshu, wake her up, and ask her what was going on, but they would all be scared back halfway by Xie Moyao's murderous gaze.

Xie Moyao: His wife is sleeping, who dares to disturb her?!

Time passed slowly, but Ji Yunshu remained motionless, lying quietly to the side.

With her back to everyone, she appeared to be sleeping soundly to outsiders.

In reality, Ji Yunshu's consciousness remained in the space, holding a drone remote control in her hand, leisurely lying on the sofa in the living room, enjoying the air conditioning while operating the remote control in her hand, constantly piloting the drone, searching for the First Prince and his entourage on the main road.
