Chapter 226: Chapter 226: This Is Unbearable!
Qi Yue’s tone was too confident, which even made Hui Niang a bit skeptical as she hurried forward to persuade.
“Miss Qi Yue, we know you an well and want to help, but the situation inside is really complicated. If sothing happens to you, how can we explain it to your parents…”
Qi Yue was fed up.
It was unfortunate that she was both beautiful and delicate; those who didn’t know her could hardly believe her words!
She quickly interjected, “Sister Hui Niang, let ask you, do you have any plan for the rescue? How will you carry it out? How will you leave afterwards? Who will cover the retreat, and who will block? If soone finds out and they shut the gates, how will we get out?”
Zhong Qian and Hui Niang were imdiately struck dumb, struggling to speak.
“We, we…”
“No need to say it; you don’t have one,” Qi Yue said firmly and sincerely, “Big Brother Zhong, if you truly want to rescue Old Man Zhong, you must follow my arrangent.”
Zhong Dahe, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
“Zhong Qian, listen to Miss Qi Yue.”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Qi Yue imdiately disclosed her plan.
“Big Brother Dahe will take inside. After I rescue Old Man Zhong, he will stay behind to cover the retreat, while Big Brother Zhong and Sister Hui Niang will assist from outside, ensuring the exit remains clear. What do you think?”
Zhong Qian and Hui Niang still seed sowhat anxious, but Zhong Dahe decisively said, “I think it’s a good plan. Let’s go with that.”
The group imdiately split up to take action.
Zhong Qian, leading Hui Niang, walked toward the pre-arranged northwest side gate, and began to get friendly with the gatekeeper.
Zhong Dahe, familiar with the place, quickly took Qi Yue through a side door.
At that mont, a young servant approached them smiling, exchanged a few words with Zhong Dahe, and then led the pair through a winding corridor.
After walking for half the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, sudden waves of cheers mixed with screams started erupting in front of them.
“Wow, great!”
“Hit it, hit it!”
“Bite him, bite him to death!”
“…”
The servant leading the way heard this and almost started to run.
“Zhong Dahe, hurry up, they said there’s a new gimmick tonight, we might miss it if we’re too late!”
“Okay.” Zhong Dahe responded, glanced at Qi Yue, and signaled her to keep up.
They quickened their pace and soon arrived at a hall as large as a martial arts training ground.
The gatekeeper checked the tag in the young servant’s hand, then let them in.
The air was suffocating with the sll of blood.
The vast hall was brightly lit with countless candles.
The surrounding stands were filled with mostly middle-aged and elderly n, but there were also so young won and young n. All of them were dressed elegantly and were clearly not ordinary people.
Zhong Dahe led Qi Yue to a spot and sat down, then went to inquire about Old Man Zhong’s situation, instructing her not to wander off.
As soon as he left, several n nearby imdiately started looking over at her, their gazes lecherous.
Qui Yue, infuriated, whipped out her twin swords and slamd them onto the table in front of her; the n instantly withdrew their gazes.
Such damned jerks!
Later, she would make them kneel and call her grandpa.
Cursing silently, she began to survey the hall, preparing for the action to follow.
The people of Donggao really had a knack for architecture.
Such a large hall, yet it only used a dozen or so pillars. The stands were arranged in circular tiers, showing great design sense.
From the surrounding stands, one could clearly see the central arena.
There were cages of various sizes placed around, each containing ferocious beasts.
Most of them held wolves, but there was also a tiger, and several other cages were covered, concealing their contents.
As a recent match had just ended, cleaners were clearing the scene.
From the enthusiastic discussions of the spectators, Qi Yue gathered that the recent match involved a man from Beiyuan fighting a wolf, resulting in the wolf gutting him.
“…Oh… That guy is really pitiful, his intestines just spilled all over the ground… Hahahaha….”
A handso young man said this while laughing, a wicked gleam in his eyes.
His servant imdiately bowed and agreed.
“Sir, I heard that later there will be a challenge against two wolves. If the challenge is successful, would you like to buy them?”
“Buy them,” the young man said proudly, “Beiyuan people are strong, they are good for chopping wood! Hahaha….”
The master and servant talked as if no one else was present, oblivious to the fact that Qi Yue already wanted to crush their heads.
At that mont, Zhong Dahe returned and saw the angry expression on Qi Yue’s face and the twin blades she had thrown. He was slightly startled.
He sat next to Qi Yue and whispered, “Everyone here is just looking for fun, they say anything. Just ignore them.”
Qi Yue clenched her fists tightly.
Ignore them? She couldn’t do that.
As a strong Beiyuan person, there are so things she cannot tolerate!
She had already decided, she would not rest until she turned this estate upside down tonight.
“Big Brother Dahe, how is Old Father Zhong doing? Can’t we go to the place where he is being held and rescue him?”
“We can’t get in, and even if we could, it would be hard to find him; there are too many. The best ti is when Old Father Zhong is about to go on stage.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue imdiately had a good idea.
She beckoned Zhong Dahe to lean closer and quietly shared her plan.
Zhong Dahe, both shocked and excited after listening to her.
“Doing so could ensure Old Father Zhong’s safe departure, but what about you? Maybe I should go instead.”
“You’re not capable,” Qi Yue stated firmly. “Only I can do this, trust .”
Zhong Dahe was montarily at a loss for words.
He could see that Qi Yue was not like other won, but entrusting such a significant task of burning down the estate and rescuing everyone to a woman made him sowhat uneasy.
But since Qi Yue was stubborn, he had no choice but to secretly plan to co back and help after ensuring Old Father Zhong’s safety.
Just as they had agreed on a plan, suddenly the sound of a gong resonated, and a middle-aged man entered the center of the arena, announcing that the next challenge was about to begin.
The surrounding spectators imdiately began to shout excitedly!
“Two wolves, two wolves!”
“Three wolves! Three wolves!”
The middle-aged man initially announced a Beiyuan person would fight against two wolves, but upon hearing the crowd’s clamor, he suddenly changed his mind.
“Alright, the next match will be against three wolves. If a Beiyuan person wins, the prize will be freedom!”
The crowd shouted again!
“Wow! This is a bargain for the Beiyuan people!”
“Let the wolves tear the Beiyuan people apart!”
“…”
The excited shouting almost flipped the roof of the pavilion; Qi Yue deeply felt the taste of being despised.
“Big Brother Dahe, why do they hate the Beiyuan people so much?”
Zhong Dahe was silent for a while.
“It’s for conquest. Donggao is a small place with many people intermarrying with different races, making them very fierce. They always believe that Beiyuan originally belonged to them.”
Qi Yue nodded.
It seed that warmongering and invading others were the unchanging thes of so forces and nations, even in a different space and ti.
Coming here today was the right choice; she would teach the arrogant Donggao people a lesson.
At that mont, another gong sounded, and several ragged Beiyuan people were pushed onto the stage.
Clearly, these people had been on the stage challenging before, showing various injuries, with one even limping, yet they were also driven on stage.
Zhong Dahe saw it, and stood up imdiately.
“It’s Old Father Zhong!”
