The sanitary conditions in prisons during the Republic of China were indeed quite poor.

Liu Jinan wiped the sticky bed board with his sleeve in disdain: "What a mistake. We should have asked that Qi to improve our accommodation conditions before moving in."

Duan Haiping laughed and said, "You think of this as a trip. It's good enough to have a place to stay."

Indeed, the old guy is very smart and will definitely do things flawlessly and will not give anyone any chance to criticize him.

The cooperation that Liu Jinan discussed with him was to ask Qi Yuandao to let Qin Yue and the others go and to guarantee that no one else would be implicated.

As a condition, he and Xiao Duan had to stay in jail for two days, and then they would take the opportunity to escape from prison after Qi Yuandao transferred them to other departments.

Liu Jinan was also worried at the beginning. After all, no one knew whether this old man would abide by the agreement.

Qi Yuandao vowed that he would never breach the contract. By then, he had already learned about the experiences of the Zhao brothers and knew that the two children in front of him were people he could not afford to offend.

Qi Yuandao has one advantage: he never thinks too highly of himself.

He was extremely sincere when negotiating with Liu Jinan, and even Duan Haiping could not see any problem.

So they reached a cooperation. Liu Jinan had no doubt that he could escape. With Xiaoduan's ability to control metal, no matter how heavily guarded the cage was, it would not be able to trap them.

Not many outsiders knew about this matter. Only Qin Yue and Qin Lingyue, as the last link in the plan, were told the details of the cooperation by Liu Jinan.

And they agreed to meet outside the city in the early morning of the day after tomorrow.

After this incident, Liu Jinan realized that his and Xiao Duan's presence might bring danger to Xiao Yue.

He decided to leave Qingcheng temporarily, and come back after the storm was over to find a way to fulfill Xiaoyue's wish.

"Go to sleep, or I'll skin you alive!"

The prison guard shouted.

The number of candles allocated to each cell is limited, basically only one every ten days or half a month. Therefore, the prisoners cherish these candles very much and try not to use them if possible.

But Liu Jinan didn't have such concerns. He looked at the flickering candle core and said, "I never thought that the first time I went to jail in my life would be with you."

Duan Haiping raised an eyebrow: "Who else do you want to be with?"

Liu Jinan said with a smile: "If possible, I hope not to go to jail."

Duan Haiping: "Then why do you have to cooperate with him? We can kill them before they take action. I have the ability to do so."

"What will we do after we kill them?" Liu Jinan asked, "Wandering around with Qin Lingyue?"

Duan Haiping was speechless for a moment. This was bound to be the consequence of a killing spree.

"Nowadays, with warlords ruling the country and wars happening frequently, they may not be able to find us." He said disapprovingly.

Liu Jinan sighed: "But is a life of wandering and hiding one's identity what Qin Lingyue wants?"

"Don't forget, our ultimate goal is to help Xiaoyue achieve her wish, and that requires creating a comfortable environment and a fulfilling life for her."

If we really do it, killing will be fun, but what will we do next?

Duan Haiping fell silent and had to admit that Liu Jinan was right.

After all, they are not people who live in this era.

So they don’t have to care about the secular world, follow the rules, or worry about the lives of others.

Qin Lingyue is different. Her roots are here, she has her own thoughts, and everything about her is closely connected to this era.

"I don't like it here."

Duan Haiping said sullenly.

Liu Jinan deeply agrees.

This era is just like the prison they are in, depressing and dark.

Even if there is candlelight, there will be countless hands trying to destroy it and prevent its light from escaping from this iron window.

……

Time soon came to the night of the day after tomorrow.

Duan Haiping controlled the door lock to fall off automatically, and the two men walked out of the cell, only to find that the prison was empty.

The prison guards who usually made rounds in the cells, and even the prisoners in jail, all disappeared.

"It seems Qi Yuandao has arranged everything," Liu Jinan was relieved. "Let's go, let's go outside the city."

According to the agreement, a gap would be quietly left for them at the city gate in the early morning.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the city gate, they saw that there was no one guarding the gate either.

The city gates are open.

The two men pushed open the city gate, but were greeted by a barrage of wooden arrows.

Liu Jinan hurriedly retreated back to the city gate, but he didn't expect that a group of well-equipped troops had been lying in ambush in the city for a long time.

"I've heard that you have the ability to control metal, so this time, all our weapons are made of wood. I don't think you can escape even if you have wings."

The leader must be Qi Yuandao's superior.

Liu Jinan didn't know whether Qi Yuandao had betrayed them or the news had leaked.

At this point, it is meaningless to pursue responsibility. He must find a way to escape from Qingcheng, otherwise he and Xiao Duan will have to die here.

"Someone, take them down!"

Following the order from the commander, everyone charged towards Liu Jinan and Duan Haiping.

Liu Jinan's brain was working rapidly. Without metal, Xiao Duan's abilities could not be brought into play.

There are archers outside the city gate, but the defense is relatively weak compared to inside the city.

"Xiao Duan, hold me tight."

As Liu Jinan spoke, he turned into a puppy in Duan Haiping's arms and at the same time stimulated his sensing ability to the extreme.

His sensing ability can weaken other people's perception of them, but it can only cover half a small area at most.

So the moment Xiao Duan rushed out of the city gate, he kept releasing small balls of light, using strong light to block their figures.

"Brother Xiao Duan, catch it!"

Qin Lingyue threw the dagger in her hand with all her strength, and was quickly taken back to a hidden place by Qin Yue and hidden.

This is enough.

A faint blood color appeared in Duan Haiping's eyes. He controlled the dagger and killed his way into the encirclement. Wherever the dagger passed, it killed the enemy's throat.

Liu Jinan regained his human form and took Duan Haiping to the horse using floating technology. No need to guess, the horse outside the city was the one he bought from the groom.

"It's up to you, old friend."

He grabbed the reins tightly and rode out of the encirclement with Duan Haiping.

Looking at the two people going away, Qin Lingyue's eyes were filled with tears: "Uncle, they will be safe, right?"

Qin Yue stroked her hair gently: "If this is Xiaoyue's wish, then they will definitely do it."

"my wish?"

Little Qin Lingyue didn't know what a wish was.

She wanted to eat candied haws, climb to the moon, and sleep with the stars.

But no matter which wish it was, it was not as strong as the hope that Brother An An and Brother Xiao Duan would leave safely at this moment.

"Xiaoyue hopes they will be fine."

"Those bad guys shouldn't take Brother An An and Brother Xiao Duan away. They will buy candied haws for Xiao Yue. They saved Uncle Qin Yue. They are good people."

As the childish voice fell, everything around began to slowly dissipate.

Without the moonlight and the sound of the wind, the scene changed rapidly.

Soon, Liu Jinan found himself in a wedding hall.

The old woman's voice rang out: "Congratulations on passing the first test. The second test begins."

"Please help Qin Lingyue marry her sweetheart."
