“Ma Lao San can do whatever he wants, just tell Zhao Long two things,” Qi Yue said sternly. “First, don’t harm any innocent civilians, and second, don’t let Ma Lao San set his sights on the Liu Family!”

“Yes, I will inform Zhao Long of this!”

Zhao Chong agreed and was about to leave.

Qi Yue suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

“That Ma Lao San is a wily character; I’m afraid he won’t be easily fooled…”

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of Carefree Pills and a Blood Coagulation Pill, thought for a moment, and then decided to pack an extra laser gun, handing it all to Zhao Chong.

“…tell Zhao Long to be vigilant, and if anything seems off, get out quickly. Don’t lose your life over this trifle!”

“Subordinate thanks the master for the concern on Zhao Long’s behalf!”

Zhao Chong bowed excitedly in thanks and then took the items and left.

These days, there weren’t many masters like Qi Yue who were primarily concerned about preserving the lives of their subordinates!

Even Qingzhu, standing off to the side, was slightly moved!

“Master, are you worried that Ma Lao San will discover something?”

Qi Yue furrowed her brows.

“We previously underestimated Ma Lao San. Last night things went too smoothly for him, and with Zhao Long appearing so suddenly, if it drags on, it’s bound to raise suspicions.”

After a moment of silence, she added, “You should rest well today; we have work to do tonight!”

“Yes!”

But as for Qi Yue, there was no chance for rest.

Just after lunch, the old butler arrived beaming with joy.

“Young master, all the medicinal herbs are prepared. The master is urging me to bring them over quickly.”

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen servants entered in single file.

Their expressions were solemn, and each held two or three exquisitely crafted boxes, quickly filling up the front hall.

Qi Yue took a quick glance and thought to herself, wow, there must be over fifty boxes!

The old butler then gave an order, and immediately, the servants opened all the boxes.

“Young master, please check these items to see if they are correct.”

Qi Yue’s eyes lit up, and she almost wanted to applaud and cheer thrice in approval!

She was utterly satisfied!

The medicinal herbs she had requested were all well-preserved and of high quality.

Especially a pair of snow lotuses kept in an icebox—they seemed like they had been freshly picked not long ago, with dew still clinging to the petals!

Incredibly impressive!

One could be used for making pills, and the other for brewing a chicken soup—a delightful treat!

“Uncle Liu, don’t worry. With these herbs, the Carefree Pills my uncle needs will be ready immediately!”

With satisfaction, Uncle Liu left, and Qi Yue directly moved all the items into her space without leaving a single one behind!

After all, no one would suspect anything when she left later in a carriage, and the items were gone.

As for making the Carefree Pills, that was a trivial matter!

The recipe had been repeatedly improved and was now quite mature, with effects reaching the ultimate peak.

After setting the parameters on the medicine preparation machine, Qi Yue handed this task over to her medical assistant.

In just one shichen, fifty bottles of Carefree Pills were in front of Qi Yue.

She immediately had Qingzhu deliver ten bottles to Liu Zhinan, and after everything was taken care of, she gave two bottles to the old butler too!

Having dealt with these matters, Zhao Chong finally arrived, bringing the latest news about Ma Lao San.

“Master, Ma Lao San has gathered fifty people to enter the city through the tunnels and says that tonight he aims to make ten years’ worth of income!”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue was also agitated.

“It seems that Ma Lao San is planning to go for broke and then make a clean escape.”

Zhao Chong nodded in agreement, “Master’s words are very true. Zhao Long overheard Ma Lao San talking with his brother. They are worried about being implicated by the Nanyue Court’s manhunt for the one-eyed Wolf Nine and have decided to commit this one last crime before fleeing overnight!”

“Since that’s the case, we shouldn’t hold back either.” Qi Yue’s lips slightly tightened, “The inn and the tunnel that Ma Lao San operates will be our best cover!”

“Yes, Master.”

After some consideration, Qi Yue immediately went to find Liu Zhinan to say she would be leaving for a while.

Liu Zhinan, upon hearing this, seemed to know what she planned to do. Not only did he not stop her, but he also made a grand show of sending her out of the city in front of all the citizens.

He even found her a perfect excuse.

Hence, everyone in the city knew that Chief of Staff Liu, because of the bandits around the city, was worried about his grandniece’s safety and had no choice but to send her off to discuss business in Jimo City.

It was during the Shichen of Shen when the streets were full of Imperial City Division and Longting Guard members searching for the one-eyed Wolf Nine.

When Qi Yue reached the city gate, she even encountered Wei Renshan among the patrolling troops. That fellow smiled goofily at her, waving and even asking her what she was up to.

Qi Yue was still as flamboyant as ever, criticizing the Nanyue Court in the middle of the street, while also flaunting the affection between niece and uncle.

“Just look at these Imperial City Guards all over the streets. If I stay any longer, my uncle will worry himself to death!”

So, amidst the envious looks of the people, Qi Yue left through the east gate, striding away with Qingzhu.

In reality, just two miles after they left, they arrived at a manor on the outskirts.

This was a backup transfer center for Rishengchang.

Most of the time, it was idle and the surroundings were relatively spartan.

The two guards stationed there knelt immediately upon seeing the Black Feather Order Qi Yue threw out.

“Subordinates await the master’s arrival with high honors; we will go to prepare the necessary food and drink…”

Qingzhu, following Qi Yue’s orders, promptly interrupted them and instructed them to carry on as usual, behaving as if they had never come.

Upon hearing this, the two men left warily.

Qi Yue quickly took out the necessary items for a disguise, first transforming Qingzhu into a burly bandit with a huge beard.

Then, she faced the mirror and fussing over her appearance, she also turned herself into a vicious man with a face full of scars.

This astonishingly lifelike disguise once again astounded Qingzhu.

“Master, this skill is truly formidable; with our current looks, even the Marquis wouldn’t recognize us!”

“Of course,” Qi Yue casually accepted the compliment and then found two large axes suitable for Qingzhu’s current disguise.

“Don’t use your flute tonight; it’s too conspicuous.”

As for herself, she switched to using a whip.

The twin blades she had used before now had a reputation, and using them again might lead people to connect them to her identity.

Once everything was ready and the sky had turned dark, Qi Yue and Qingzhu left the manor unnoticed and headed straight for the west city gate.

According to the information provided by Zhao Long, they quickly found an opening covered by stones in a small grove full of tall weeds.

“Master, this must be it. Shall we go down now?”

Qi Yue estimated the distance, figuring that by the time they arrived, Ma Lao San and his gang would probably be ready to move, and she nodded.

“Let’s go!”

One after another, they descended into the hole and groped their way through the dark tunnel.

The situation in the tunnel was almost as Zhao Long had described.

It was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass, and the smell was not very pleasant.

By the time they reached the midpoint, Qi Yue almost felt sick from the stifling conditions.

Half a Shichen later, they finally arrived at a comparatively spacious passage.
