PWDLAW Chapter 614: Leaving the City
Chapter 614: Leaving the City
At the back door of the yamen, an inconspicuous carriage was seen. Two cloth bags were carried inside in succession. Sitting in front of the carriage were two unremarkable middle-aged men. The carriage quickly left the yamen.
Inside the carriage, one of the cloth bags made a muffled sound as it was cut open by a sharp knife from the inside.
Ye Muyu crawled out from it, her hair a bit messy, but she paid it no mind as she casually brushed it aside and emerged from the cloth bag.
As soon as she shook off the ropes on her hands, her gaze fell on the other cloth bag beside her.
She reached out, making a cut in it. When she saw a piece of clothing poking out from inside, Ye Muyu pursed her lips and quickly tore open the cloth bag.
Inside was Xie Yu.
Xie Yu was in a state of unconsciousness. Ye Muyu tried to wake him up but, realizing she couldn't, she leaned over and sniffed lightly. As expected, she smelled the scent of a knockout drug.
Ye Muyu took out a pill from her waist and fed it into Xie Yu's mouth.
The knockout drugs commonly used by the public weren't very potent, they only caused a brief period of unconsciousness and dizziness. The antidote for such drugs was made from licorice.
Three days ago, after she learned that she had to go to the yamen, she had asked Lu Sangqi to prepare some antidotes.
At that time, Lu Sangqi had thought it was miraculous, saying that with Han Zhuang and others protecting her, the likelihood of something happening was very low, so she didn't need to worry.
However, Ye Muyu felt that there was no absolute safety, and she had to have some self-defense ability just in case. If something did happen, she could protect herself.
In fact, Ye Muyu was unlucky enough to have to use the items she had prepared beforehand. It wasn't a good thing, but it indicated that Wang Dizhu was getting anxious. Who knew if he would continue to act recklessly?
Fortunately, she was fine now, which was considered a good thing.
Soon, Xie Yu woke up.
Ye Muyu also peeked out from the corner of the carriage window and saw that the carriage was heading towards the city gate.
"Sister-in-law..." Xie Yu hadn't even finished speaking when Ye Muyu covered his mouth. She put a finger to her lips, gesturing towards the front of the carriage and the cloth bags inside.
Xie Yu's eyes widened in realization. He quickly nodded at Ye Muyu and pointed to her hand.
Ye Muyu saw that he understood and let go of his mouth. The two of them sat facing each other, and Ye Muyu spoke in a low voice, "In a moment, the carriage will leave the city. We can't follow."
"Sister-in-law, what should I do?" Xie Yu felt a little embarrassed. Originally, he had come to rescue Ye Muyu, but now he was the one being rescued. He looked at Ye Muyu curiously. Among the women he knew, none were as capable as her. At least, if they were tied up, they definitely wouldn't be able to escape so quickly and calmly.
Ye Muyu didn't notice his change in emotions and quickly said, "In a moment, you should..."
Soon enough, the carriage arrived at the city gate.
The soldiers at the city gate were patrolling as usual.
"Get down and check the carriage."
The two men driving the carriage looked at each other. One of them got down from the carriage and spoke to the nearby soldier with a smile on his face.
The other man quickly pressed a button on the carriage. Inside the carriage, both of them dropped into a compartment underneath.
The man opened a corner of the curtain and took a look, confirming that the carriage was clean with nothing inside. He then jumped down from the carriage.
Seeing this, the man who got down from the carriage first laughed and stepped aside.
