Chapter 23 The hijacking was successful For several days in a row, Ruan Xing came to Hu San's house every morning to accumulate practical experience. She improved quickly. From being unable to withstand a single move from Hu San in the beginning, she can now fight him back and forth, and even wins more than she loses. However, Ruan Xing had never really seen blood, nor had he ever experienced a life-and-death situation. If he really fought to the death, the odds would probably be fifty-fifty. Because she was always respectful to Master Shi and always satisfied him when testing her progress, Master Shi never said anything to her even though Ruan Xing was often out of sight for most of the day. As long as it doesn't cause any big trouble, Master Shi will tacitly allow it. Ruan Xing was even more grateful that she had chosen the right path, which allowed her to gain great freedom. That day, Ruan Xing came to Hu San early in the morning to prepare for a practice session with him, but Hu San suddenly said that he had something to tell her. "The young master Liu who made a bet with you last time sent me a message, wanting to invite you to go to Lichunfang to play." "Lichunfang? What place is this?" Ruan Xing had never heard of this place name. Hu San was a little embarrassed to say, "Uh... it's a theater, a place to drink tea and watch performances."
It turned out to be a high-end entertainment venue in ancient times. Ruan Xing nodded to show that he understood, but women and children should not be allowed to enter such places, right? "Can I go?" Hu San knew Ruan Xing had misunderstood as soon as he heard it. "It's not like a Qinlou or Chuguan. Some noble ladies will go to listen to the opera and show their support. But if they feel they get along well with a certain actress or actor, they can invite him to the table to drink tea and chat." "So that's it." Ruan Xing lowered her head and thought for a moment. What a coincidence! The plan she had thought of a few days ago just needed the help of Master Liu. Master Liu was very considerate and came to her door on his own initiative. She just didn't know if it would succeed. You need to rehearse it several times first. "Hu San, when does he invite me?" "this afternoon." "Does Master Liu usually bring servants and guards with him when he travels?" "No, only a coachman who drives him." "What do you think of my current Kung Fu?" "I think..." Hu San said halfway, and suddenly reacted, his face solemn, "Miss, do you want to take action against Mr. Liu?" "Yes, do you think that with my kung fu, I can kidnap him?" Ruan Xing admitted it generously and humbly asked Hu San for advice. "Yes, but it's hard to finish. With his identity and background, once he is kidnapped, the Red Head Gang and the Patrol Security Bureau will send a large number of people to surround him. With just the two of us, we will be beheaded in less than half an hour." Hu San thought this plan was extremely bizarre, but he did not ask why nor did he dissuade him. Instead, he put himself in Ruan Xing's shoes and analyzed the situation. "Can you drive? What if we steal his carriage and take him out of the city?" Ruan Xing continued. Young Master Liu had incredible luck, and she was tired of saying the word "envy". And she was tired of dying more than thirty times in the jungle maze. In order to deal with the masked man's attack on her and find the masked man's distinctive features, she had chosen several memories and had secretly memorized the way to the dense forest maze. This time, she would try to tie up Master Liu and lead the way into the dense forest maze. If he was really lucky, he would not die there.
His luck will lead a safe path. "Yes, but his carriage has the Liu family's mark and will be stopped when leaving the city." "Then let's rent a carriage ourselves, knock him and the coachman unconscious first, and then put them on our carriage and take them out of the city, is that feasible?" Hu San thought for a moment and said, "It's 30% feasible, but we can't keep it a secret for long. We'll still be caught up after we leave the city. Even though the Patrol Security Bureau doesn't do much, there are many experts in it, and it will still be difficult to escape." "It's okay, I'll try it first and we'll talk about it later." Ruan Xing waved her hand. She didn't have to consider whether she could survive after doing this. It was all a simulation anyway. As long as she could bring Master Liu to the dense forest maze, it didn't matter whether she could come back or not. The purpose of assuming so many prior conditions is to avoid wasting simulation times and taking detours. Hu San didn't quite understand what Ruan Xing meant, but seeing that she lowered her head and didn't intend to speak any more, he swallowed what he was about to say, silently canceled today's sparring arrangement, and left the room. "Start simulation!" [Simulating] When you were six years old, Master Liu invited you to visit Lichunfang. You gladly accepted the invitation and ambushed Master Liu and his groom on the road he had to pass. You knocked Master Liu unconscious and took him to a temporarily rented carriage. Hu San drove you out of the city successfully. Soon, Master Liu's unmanned carriage was wandering around the street and trampled on the stalls in the morning market. Someone recognized the carriage's emblem and reported it to the authorities. The Red Head Gang and the Patrol Security Bureau quickly investigated your and Hu San's suspicions and sent a large number of experts to hunt you down. Half an hour later, the horses pulling the cart ran out of stamina and slowed down, and you and Hu San were caught up and killed by the swords. [End of simulation] Please select the reward for this simulation: 1. Memories from when I was six years old. 2. A random item that was on my body when I was six years old. 3. A random skill mastered at the age of six. 4. The realm of cultivation reached at the age of six. It seems that this plan still has some shortcomings and needs to be checked and supplemented. It would be great if we could just make Young Master Liu appear. Ruan Xing sighed and picked option two at random. There was nothing else to choose anyway. What if he could really turn Young Master Liu into a twin? The next second, Ruan Xing’s eyes widened. "Fuck!" She was so shocked that she even subconsciously mentioned her past life's habits. "What's wrong, miss?" Hu San hurried in when he heard the voice. When he saw the object that suddenly appeared in the room, he fell into stunned silence. "This is……" A carriage. Yes, Ruan Xing brought back the rented carriage she was riding in at the time. There were traces of damage from swords and knives on the carriage, as well as large patches of blood. Perhaps because she was clutching part of the carriage when she died, it was considered one of her belongings. It’s a pity that there are no horses.
I guess the simulator doesn't include living things in its identification list. Ruan Xing immediately said, "Don't ask, don't worry, find a way to clean it up and don't let anyone find out." The series of words woke up Hu San, who was still in a daze. When he heard Ruan Xing's order, he came to his senses immediately and responded solemnly. People who have practiced martial arts have greater strength than ordinary people, and this carriage was rented. The compartment was narrow and made of old wood, so it was not very heavy. It was not difficult for Hu San to lift it, but it took him some effort to pull the carriage out of the room. There was no other way because the door was too small. In the end, I had to remove the roof of the car before taking it out. Anyway, many places needed to be reinforced, and it would be convenient to clean it after dismantling it. While Hu San went to repair the carriage, Ruan Xing immediately started the second simulation and patched up the areas that had not been taken care of before. [Simulating] When you were six years old, Master Liu invited you to visit Lichunfang, and you gladly accepted the invitation. After the carriage was repaired, you asked Hu San to rent two horses and put one of them halfway outside the city. Then you and Hu San ambushed Liu Gongzi on the road he had to pass and attacked him, knocking out Liu Gongzi, his groom, and his horse. You quietly transferred Liu Gongzi to your carriage, and Hu San drove you out of the city successfully. Quarter of an hour later, Master Liu's companions waited in Lichunfang for a long time but no one came. They went to look for him on the road and saw the coachman who was knocked unconscious and stuffed in the carriage and the horse lying on the ground. After waking up, the coachman identified you and Hu San as the ones who attacked Master Liu. After the Red Head Gang and the Patrol Security Division got the news, they quickly sent a large number of experts to hunt you down. Half an hour later, the horses pulling the cart ran out of stamina and slowed down. You were prepared and replaced them with the horses that had been reserved halfway. An hour later, the horses pulling the carriage ran out of stamina again, and you and Hu San were caught up. You asked Hu San to get off the carriage and fight, but you didn't know how to drive, so you could only let the carriage move forward. Hu San only managed to hold out for less than an incense stick of time before you were hacked to death. [End of simulation] Please select the reward for this simulation: 1. Memories from when I was six years old. 2. A random item that was on my body when I was six years old. 3. A random skill mastered at the age of six. 4. The realm of cultivation reached at the age of six. Ruan Xing chose memory. The situation was much better and he lived half an hour longer than the first time. However, Ruan Xing saw the location where he died, which was still one-third of the way to the dense forest maze. When Qi Ye took her there, they set out in the morning and brought dozens of guards with them. They walked at a constant speed. They experienced an attack and a rest in the middle. It was almost dark when they arrived at the destination. The carriage was naturally faster than them when running at full speed. Ruan Xing estimated that it would only take an hour and a half to get there, but the horses could not hold on, so they had to change horses again in the middle. Moreover, her horse was pulling a carriage with three people on it. The patrol guard who was chasing them was alone on a horse, so he was definitely faster than her. All she could do was to increase the time so that people in the city would find out about Master Liu's disappearance later, giving her enough time to prolong the distance she was being pursued. As long as she entered the dense forest maze, her goal would be achieved. However, she had no way to influence Mr. Liu's companions. If they got anxious, they would definitely go to look for her, but she didn't have time to hide the coachman and the carriage in a more secluded place. Ruan Xing continued the simulation. …… You killed Master Liu's groom and his horse. After waiting for a long time, Master Liu's companions found the bodies of the groom and the horse on the road. They reported to the authorities. After investigation, the Red Head Gang and the Patrol Security Bureau determined that you and Hu San were suspects and sent a large number of experts to hunt you down. An hour and a half later, you had changed horses twice on the road, and the third horse was about to fail. However, the pursuers were close at hand, so you asked Hu San to get off the carriage to resist. You tried to drive the carriage to sprint the last few hundred meters, but someone shot an arrow through the heart from behind.
"That's a miscalculation. Each horse can only last half an hour at most, but before half an hour it will slow down due to fatigue. We need to change horses earlier, and try again!" After several more simulations, Ruan Xing chose memory for all of them. By fine-tuning the details, he finally found a successful path. …… After an hour and a half, your horse was exhausted and began to slow down. You were less than a thousand meters away from the dense forest maze, so you got off the carriage together. You asked Hu San to hold off the delay, and then you stuck the sword into the horse's butt. The horse, stimulated by the pain, continued to gallop with the carriage, while you hid in the grass with the unconscious Master Liu. After the patrol soldiers killed Hu San and continued to chase the carriage, you dragged Master Liu into the dense forest maze. There was no Taoist boy at the door this time. You woke up Master Liu and forced him to lead the way. Under your threat, Master Liu took the right path based on his intuition. However, as soon as you came out of the maze, you saw a dazzling white light and you died. [End of simulation] He still chose memory. What he saw when he died was still very rewarding. There was a young man dressed in white, about eleven or twelve years old, with white hair, white skin, white pupils, and white clothes. If he hadn't had no hat on his head, Ruan Xing would have thought he was Bai Wuchang. He suddenly appeared in front of her, expressionless, and the white light in his hand pierced her heart, while also cutting off Master Liu who was trying to escape. What skill is this? Flash? Invisibility? In short, he appeared in front of me suddenly, without any warning. Ruan Xing held his chin and fell into deep thought. This young man shouldn't be the third test... Then this test would be too difficult, and no one would be able to pass it. If Qi Ye sent someone in, he would only be sending them to death. But there were people who were eager to kill her and go in instead of her, which made her feel that this should be a good place. The young man didn't look like a normal person. It was probably a warning mechanism for illegal intrusion. If I went in the same way as Master Qi, I probably wouldn't run into him. It's not a big problem anyway. She has already found the right way out of the dense forest maze. All this is thanks to Mr. Liu who has incredible luck! Ruan Xing decided that if she was going to gamble today she would better win less. It can be regarded as a way of repaying him for the disaster he suffered in the simulation without complaint. A big problem in his mind was solved, and Ruan Xing stretched happily. Hu San poked his head in and said, "Miss, the carriage has been repaired. I have already stepped on the spot and found a suitable location. Shall we go and kidnap Master Liu now?" "Hijacking?" Ruan Xing rolled his eyes. "Go and reply to Master Liu. I'll meet him at noon." "Oh." Hu San scratched his head, not quite understanding why Ruan Xing did what she wanted. However, in his opinion, the young lady was a very mysterious person. She was smart, good-looking, and had excellent gambling skills. She had mastered external strength at the age of six and could even conjure up a carriage out of thin air. She was very unusual. No matter whether she had a fortuitous encounter or had another identity, as long as she was willing to help him see his brother, he had already offered his loyalty and would not have any other thoughts. The young lady must have her reasons for doing this, and he just needs to obey her orders. He was about to turn around and leave when Ruan Xing stopped him. "Wait, buy... rent a horse and drive me there." A horse is actually quite expensive, and it is even more expensive to keep. She doesn't use it much, so there is no need to waste money on it. However, she really didn't want to walk around the inner city on her short legs anymore! You must! Take a carriage! Ruan Xing cried silently in his heart, counting the few hundred copper coins he had left with some sadness. Thanks to the book friend 20231002145930421 for the reward~ (End of this chapter)
