Chapter 26 was just one point away from success.
Seeing that Zhuo Daoba had drunk the tea, Jiang Qingyue continued, "I need you to help me kill those two people."
Zhuo Daoba quickly realized, "You mean that woman, and the man who abandoned you for her? The reason? Just because he abandoned you? You like him?"
No wonder, anyone would hate it in that situation.
“No.” Jiang Qingyue’s eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent. “To tell you the truth, that man is my cousin, and that woman is an imposter who has been impersonating me for over ten years. But even knowing that I am his relative, he has repeatedly tried to kill me for an imposter. In that case, why can’t I kill him?”
Jiang Qingyue accused them with every word filled with anguish. In an instant, she seemed to be transported back to the past, to the time when they bullied her at will. She felt resentful and couldn't help but tremble all over.
Zhuo Daoba was initially somewhat suspicious, but seeing Jiang Qingyue's expression of wanting to tear the other person to pieces and the intense hatred bursting from her eyes, even he, the dignified bandit leader, couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
If she were targeted by a woman like that… Zhuo Daoba had a bad feeling. Such a woman was definitely crazy. Would such a crazy person be easily slaughtered?
"Okay, I promise you." Although Zhuo Daoba agreed, he still had some uncertainty in his heart, but that uncertainty was quickly overwhelmed by the beauty in front of him.
"Alright, let's consummate our marriage now!" With that, Zhuo Daoba wanted to make it a done deal immediately. Once she was completely his, there would be no more uncertainties. Then, he would offer her his head, and she would be completely obedient.
However, after taking only one step, he found his head spinning and Jiang Qingyue's image on his face suddenly appeared double.
He shook his head vigorously, but instead of feeling better, he became even more dizzy.
Looking at the several Jiang Qingyues in front of him, Zhuo Daoba realized something. His gaze shifted to the cup of tea on the table that he had drunk in one gulp. "You...you poisoned it?"
"It's not reading, it's just a sleeping pill that will make you sleep well."
"How...how did you do that? You clearly...you clearly drank it too..."
Zhuo Daoba was unaware that Jiang Qingyue had already put the Illusion Grass Fruit in her mouth beforehand. The moment the tea entered her mouth, Jiang Qingyue chewed up the fruit and swallowed it along with the tea.
Therefore, even though she drank tea with the added magic herb juice, she was not affected.
However, Zhuo Daoba could never know the answer; he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at him indifferently, and then, while everyone was clinking glasses, she secretly slipped out of the room and took a teacup and the pot of tea.
She kept shifting along the wall as she spoke, but her plan backfired. Just around the corner, she bumped into a patrolling bandit. "What are you doing here...?"
"Wait a moment." Jiang Qingyue stopped him from calling for help, and went to greet him with a smile, pouring him a cup of tea. "My husband is drunk and has already rested. He knows that everyone has drunk too much today, so he asked me to bring you some tea to help you sober up. I hope you will not slack off on your night watch tonight."
Jiang Qingyue handed him the tea.
The younger brother, unsuspecting, was somewhat flattered and said, "Madam... you're too kind. This is what we should do."
He drank it down in one gulp and instantly felt energized again. He said goodbye and left, but after only a few steps, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Jiang Qingyue used the same method to deal with the people she encountered on the road.
Finally, just as she was about to approach the gate of the mountain stronghold, Jiang Qingyue threw down the teapot and teacup, hid behind a tree, and waited for an opportunity.
"Oops, something happened..."
A moment later, shouts of help came from above: "Quick, something's happened to my brother!"
The people who were originally guarding the door looked at each other for a moment, and one of them spoke up, "Go and take a look, I'll guard this place."
"Okay!" With that, the guards at the door immediately ran towards the new house.
Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Qingyue rushed forward and, with lightning speed, knocked out the last remaining guard with a single chop to the neck.
Jiang Qingyue didn't linger and immediately ran towards the entrance of the mountain stronghold.
After running only a few steps, Jiang Qingyue slowly retreated.
Just in front of Jiang Qingyue, another group of robbers returned and spotted the furtive Jiang Qingyue.
So they immediately pointed their knives at Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue never expected to be so unlucky, so she decided to take a gamble.
She ran directly to the side, and the bandits reacted and immediately grabbed their weapons and ran towards Jiang Qingyue.
Just as one of the bandits was about to get close to Jiang Qingyue, she bent over backwards and kicked his weapon away with her right foot.
Then, Jiang Qingyue rolled over, picked up his knife, and turned to slash at the bandits chasing after her.
After a few exchanges, Jiang Qingyue, though she had practiced a few moves in the marketplace, had not received systematic instruction. Coupled with the disparity in strength between the two sides and her lack of stamina compared to a man, she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
Just then, a voice came from behind, "Quick, grab her!"
The people inside the stronghold also spotted Jiang Qingyue and surrounded her from all sides. Leading the group was none other than Zhuo Daoba, who had just been woken up by his underlings.
Zhuo Daoba never expected to be tricked by a woman. When he saw Jiang Qingyue, his eyes were practically spitting fire with anger. "Fine, very well. This is the first time someone has made me look foolish. I was too lenient with you!"
If Zhuo Daoba originally had a shred of pity for Jiang Qingyue, now that Jiang Qingyue has caused him to lose face, he will definitely not let her off easily!
"Men, seize her! She'll be yours to enjoy after I've had my fill of virginity!"
"Thank you, big brother!" The henchmen around him immediately became excited.
Jiang Qingyue looked at the wolfish gazes around her, closed her eyes, and decided to fight to the death.
Holding the knife, she made a shocking decision: she slashed her own cheek with the blade. "Isn't this the face you coveted? Now that it's ruined, you can't have it anymore. If that's not enough, you can have my life too..."
Jiang Qingyue knew she couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to take a gamble.
Zhuo Daoba was surprised that such a young woman could utter such bold words, and couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect. "Good!"
Everyone: "..."
"Why don't you join us? I won't hold your scheming against me anymore, and I don't care if you're disfigured. I can get someone to heal you. This is your last chance." Zhuo Daoba decided to back down and try to persuade Jiang Qingyue.
"Impossible!" Jiang Qingyue refused sternly. "Either let me go, or I'll die!"
"You really are asking for trouble!" Zhuo Daoba's smile instantly changed.
He glanced at the woman another team had captured, raised a knife to her neck, and said, "Fine, you go, I'll kill her; you stay, I'll release her. You choose..."
