"Don't say bad things about her!" Jiang Ke'er stretched her neck and glared at Qiao Xiaoxian, "Why do you think this team has always been called the Bagpipe Team?"
Qiao Xiaoxian's body trembled slightly: "How would I know? Besides... this doesn't mean anything."
"Okay, stop arguing," Si Lian looked at Jiang Ke'er and Qiao Xiaoxian with a headache.
Oh my god, my liver hurts...
"Evading the problem is not the right way to solve it," Si Lian suddenly said with a serious face, "Qingyi, I don't know what grudges there are between you two, but using me as a shield is not the right way."
Jiang Keer pouted and turned her face away.
Sighing softly, Si Lian cast his gaze on Qiao Xiaoxian again with a complicated expression: "I know you won't listen to a word I say..."
"Then don't say it."
Qiao Xiaoxian interrupted in a cold voice, spurred his horse back a step, and hung behind Jiang Ke'er and Si Lian at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
Si Lian shook her head.
The weather was clear and there was no fog to obstruct the view. Soon the outline of the city appeared in the distance.
Jiang Ke'er and Si Lian put Shun Fengju into the horse storage area. Precious horses like Shun Fengju have specially matched storage space, which is convenient for access and can prevent them from being left in the stable and being targeted by thieves.
Qiao Xiaoxian also put away the white horse, changed her clothes slightly, and covered her face.
"Why cover your face?" Jiang Ke'er said sarcastically, "Wouldn't it be wonderful to find someone better than me openly?"
"No one is better than you," Qiao Xiaoxian said seriously, "I wouldn't want anyone else."
"Tsk, do you think this kind of cheesy love talk can move me?" After saying that, Jiang Ke'er ran away with her hands covering her chest with a red face.
Jiang Ke'er has not forgotten the purpose of coming to this city. She and Si Lian went to the tavern to inquire about Gan Ruanruan's whereabouts.
"Gan Ruanruan? Who is that?" The tavern waiter was very confused.
Jiang Ke'er thought about it, slapped her thigh and said, "It's the flat-headed sister."
"Oh! That's the flat-headed girl!" The waiter suddenly realized, "She came back a few days ago, and then she got into an argument with a customer in the store, and was knocked unconscious and thrown onto the street."
Well... this is Gan Ruanruan's ordinary daily life.
"What happened next?" Jiang Ke'er asked again.
"She never came back to the store afterwards. I heard that she had a fight with a Shenzhou Cup team in the tavern next door yesterday. She was beaten badly and thrown onto the street. She was finally taken away by the people from the City Lord's Mansion and taken directly to the jail in the east of the city."
City Lord’s Mansion?
Oops!
So much time has passed that I almost forgot that there is a venerable man in this city who is at odds with the Bagpipe Squad.
I remember his name seemed to be... Reverend Ye!
The Shunfengju was obtained from that Venerable Ye, and at the same time, a treasure for finding traces was also obtained.
Jiang Ke'er and Si Lian immediately realized that the situation was not good.
"We have to go to the City Lord's Mansion," Si Lian said solemnly, lighting another pack of cigarettes. "This Ye Zun even disguised himself as a contestant and wanted to kill you on stage. This shows his character. It would be difficult to negotiate with him to get Ruanruan back... I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion to hold Ye Zun back. Xiaoxian, Qingyi, you two rush to the prison and find a way to sneak in and investigate the situation."
"Yes," Jiang Ke'er agreed decisively. Now was not the time to dwell on personal matters.
"You are short-handed. I have already sent a message to the rest of the team, but you must hide your identities and never rush to break into the prison. Be patient and wait for my news!"
"understand!"
Si Lian disappeared in a flash, leaving Jiang Keer and Qiao Xiaoxian alone. The scene was a bit awkward.
Qiao Xiaoxian suppressed the idea of teaching Jiang Keer a lesson and said, "I know you already have a plan."
"I have to go to the prison to ensure Ruanruan's safety," Jiang Ke'er said. "The prison is heavily guarded. It's not realistic to break into that place directly. And we can't take Ruanruan away even if we break in. It seems I have to use the old method."
Qiao Xiaoxian understood what she meant, frowned, and said, "Prison is not a good place, so I have to put on some makeup for you."
Jiang Ke'er nodded, checked into an inn room with ease, entered with Qiao Xiaoxian, and began to put on makeup.
Feeling Qiao Xiaoxian's cool and soft fingertips gently rubbing her face, with her face so close, Jiang Ke'er's breathing quickened slightly.
"Are you Lan Ying?" Jiang Ke'er suddenly asked.
Qiao Xiaoxian nodded. She didn't want to hide anything from Jiang Ke'er.
She thought Jiang Ke'er would ask about the wanted order next, but unexpectedly Jiang Ke'er suddenly asked expressionlessly: "Are you hurt?"
Qiao Xiaoxian was stunned, then smiled and said, "No."
"Humph, what a pity!"
Qiao Xiaoxian was very skilled at disguise, especially at disguising Jiang Ke'er into someone with ordinary looks. Soon even Jiang Ke'er herself couldn't recognize herself.
"After I go to the prison, you try to prepare a riot to create an opportunity for us to escape." Jiang Keer said.
"Okay." Qiao Xiaoxian nodded and agreed, "Be careful. If something goes wrong, notify me immediately in your consciousness space. I will keep an eye on it."
"Don't worry, I'm very reliable. Just be careful about your own safety."
"Mmmmm~"
Jiang Keer left the inn and found a city guard captain who looked fierce and difficult to mess with. She walked over and reached into his waist bag with a swagger.
"..."
The captain of the city guard swore that he had never seen such an unprofessional thief in his life.
(2/3)
45. Prison
The captain of the city guard felt that the thief in front of him must be insulting his intelligence.
He grabbed Jiang Ke'er's sleeve and grinned as he admired her panic-stricken look.
"Little thief, prison welcomes you!"
The burly city guards seemed to have found some fun in their boring lives. They escorted Jiang Ke'er directly to prison with laughter and did not even bother to interrogate her.
He was caught in the act, so there is no need to interrogate him.
Jiang Ke'er's face was pale and she was trembling.
"You come out to steal things on New Year's Day, and you are so blind as to steal from people in official uniforms. How miserable is your life?" said the captain of the city guard, and the surrounding city guards laughed when they heard it.
This little thief is amazing.
"You are the first thief caught in this city this year," said the captain of the city guard.
Jiang Ke'er's eyes lit up: "What are the benefits of being the first?"
The captain of the city guard was stunned: "What benefits do you want?"
"For example, self-selected cell suites, luxurious prison meals, etc." Jiang Ke'er counted on her fingers confidently, "It's the New Year after all, and all regular prisons have to do some welfare activities, right? Otherwise, how can we improve our performance next year? How can we compare with other prisons?"
The captain of the city guard was stunned for a moment, then said fiercely, "Do you want the ultimate package of free prison massage? We guarantee that we will provide everything from tiger benches to pepper spray!"
"...Let's forget about this," Jiang Ke'er shrank her head.
"boom--"
The prison door closed and Jiang Ke'er was locked inside the iron door.
She glanced at the lock on the cell door... child's play, she could unlock it at any time if she thought about it.
All the locks within her field of vision were the same, and did not exceed the level that her lock-picking skills could handle, which made her feel a lot more at ease.
"Just stay here honestly for seven days, and then come out and reform yourself. Do you understand?" said the captain of the city guard.
Jiang Ke'er nodded timidly like a little quail.
After waiting for the city guards and jailers to leave, Jiang Keer began to try to extend her consciousness to explore the situation inside the prison.
As she expected, the prison really had great restrictions on the monks' ability to detect consciousness. Jiang Ke'er felt tremendous mental pressure as soon as she extended her consciousness out of her body.
Fortunately, her consciousness was so strong that even the extremely professional consciousness restriction formation in the prison could not completely suppress her perception.
Jiang Ke'er closed her eyes, endured the pain that made it difficult for her to breathe, and extended her consciousness into the depths of the prison.
She checked the cells on both sides one by one...
No, no, no.
Among these ordinary cells, none of them held Gan Ruanruan.
As her consciousness deepened, Jiang Keer's mood became worse.
The prisoners held in these cells obviously had more serious crimes as they went deeper into the cells, and their conditions became more miserable.
After checking more than a hundred cells, Jiang Ke'er saw that it was difficult to even recognize the human figures of the prisoners in the rooms - in order to prevent them from escaping, all of them had their hands and feet cut off and were hung on the wall.
But Gan Runrun's shadow was still nowhere to be seen. She might be in a place deeper in the mountain that was even more unbearable to look at.
The candlelight flickered, and the walls of the cell were covered with dried blood. Jiang Ke'er's consciousness had already reached the end of this level.
"Squeak-"
With the sound of rusty hinges, an iron door leading to a deeper place was revealed on the ground at the end of the cell.
Jiang Keer quickly extended her consciousness along the iron gate.
When she reached the iron gate, Jiang Ke'er could clearly feel an even more severe sense of oppression. It was likely that the entire prison's consciousness suppression formation and most of the security formations were hidden underneath. This was the darkest and most horrific core area in the prison.
Various bloodstained torture instruments were hung on both sides of the wall. Jiang Keer could hardly imagine what a miserable scene it would be if these instruments were used on living creatures.
And here, she finally found Gan Ruanruan.
Thank God, Gan Ruanruan's hands and feet were intact, and there were not many signs of torture on his body.
However, her lower abdomen was wrapped in gauze, which was stained with blood, and it was obvious that there had been a deep wound there.
Gan Ruanruan stood still. Jiang Keer quickly wrapped her in her consciousness and carefully checked her physical condition.
Her breathing was even, and she was lying on a straw mat in an isolated cell, but she was unconscious.
There was a slight smell of residual drugs at the corners of her mouth, probably what the other party used to capture her.
"Ruanruan? Can you hear me?" Jiang Ke'er was trying to find a way to communicate directly with Gan Ruanruan's consciousness.
"Ahhh~"
Gan Ruanruan smacked her lips, turned over impatiently, and reached one hand into her pants to scratch her butt.
"..."
It seems nothing happened.
This thick nerve comparable to Jie Shui's instantly made Jiang Keer's worries about her disappear.
"Wake up, idiot, it's me, Qingyi." Jiang Ke'er continued to call out helplessly.
Gan Ruanruan finally woke up, opened her eyes suddenly, looked around at the air, and said in confusion: "What's going on? I seemed to have dreamed of Qingyi's voice just now?"
"It's me, you can't see me." Jiang Ke'er continued to transmit the message.
"...Am I still asleep?" Gan Ruanruan was stunned for a moment, then she tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and lay back on the straw mat.
"You're not dreaming, it's me. I'm communicating with you using my spiritual sense." Jiang Ke'er hurriedly stopped Gan Ruanruan before she fell asleep.
"Hiss——" Gan Ruanruan's eyes widened and she took a breath of cold air, "How could you contact me with your spiritual sense in prison?"
"Shh, don't act too surprised and don't say anything. When I ask, you answer with your fingers. If it's 'yes', you move your index finger. If it's 'no', you move your middle finger."
Gan Ruanruan nodded to show that she understood.
"Have you seen Master Ye?" Jiang Ke'er asked.
Gan moved her index finger.
"He didn't kill you. Did he want to use you to fish for us? Trick us into coming here and falling into his trap?"
Gan Ruanruan quickly moved her index finger again.
Not good.
Si Lian might be in danger.
"Did they torture you?"
Middle finger, no.
