Fortunately, in addition to their long stamina, Ox and Horse Physique also have a very fast recovery speed.
However, it requires a large amount of food.
Inside Ling Yi's wooden house, there was a considerable amount of dried meat.
This is a habit Ling Yi developed after acquiring the Ox and Horse Physique.
Other ingredients are difficult to store.
Only dried meat can be stored for a relatively long time.
While chewing on the dried meat, Ling Yi stored all the useful items in the wooden house, including the dried meat Ling Yi had kept, into his Hidden Asgard.
"It seems we need to store more supplies in the Hidden Asgard, so we'll have some protection when we need to escape later," Ling Yi said, taking a bite of jerky.
" In the Hidden Asgard, time flows at the same rate as in the outside world; ordinary food cannot be preserved for long."
"Go back and send the Shadow Puppet to the kitchen."
"I wonder what the maximum distance of the Shadow Puppet is. If possible, it would be best to let the Shadow Puppet wander around outside the Bureau of Entertainment and learn more about this world."
"And the current situation, in order to prepare."
Ling Yi pondered his next steps.
Previously, Ling Yi thought the Bureau of Entertainment was safe, so his initial plan was to stay in the Bureau of Entertainment and slowly grow stronger.
But now it seems that this brothel is not safe at all; there are too many conspiracies and schemes, and too many Old Liu.
Let's see how things go before making any plans!
At the same time, Ling Yi's two Shadow Puppet had already arrived at the treasury where the reward money was stored.
The Shadow Puppet can freely enter and exit any place with Shadow.
The warehouse is now completely locked from the outside.
There wasn't a single light in the room.
If an ordinary person were to enter, they would be completely in the dark.
But it has no effect whatsoever on the Shadow Puppet.
In the darkness, it is also easier for the Shadow Puppet to move around.
The entire warehouse was filled with wooden crates of Xiaoxiao.
Nearly half of the wooden crates were sealed with royal seals.
Those items bearing the royal seal are likely destined for the national treasury.
However, none of this matters to the Shadow Puppet.
They came to take the silver, which now belongs to Ling Yi.
Just as the Shadow Puppet was about to make its move.
Another Shadow Puppet emerged from underground.
The three Shadow Puppet looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a long pause, Ling Yi's Shadow Puppet spoke slowly in a hoarse voice, " Power of Shadow, Zhao Dongxue!"
Zhao Dongxue is the real name of Qianxue, the former top courtesan.
"Who are you?" Zhao Dongxue's Shadow Puppet asked incredulously.
The Power of Shadow is Zhao Dongxue's secret.
In this world, only her brother knows the secret of her talent for Power of Shadow.
Even Zhao Dongxue's parents didn't know.
But her brother was already dead.
Not only her brother, but the entire Zhao Family, all 133 members, died.
The emperor, on charges of corruption, beheaded all the men and sent the women to the Bureau of Entertainment.
Zhao Dongxue was not only beautiful and Proficiency in poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, chess, and chess, but also Martial Practitioner of the highest rank.
He was noticed by a very important person.
She became Qianxue of the Bureau of Entertainment), and later, with the help of this important figure, became the most beautiful courtesan.
Even that important figure was unaware that she possessed the Power of Shadow.
This was her biggest secret, and her trump card for survival.
Naturally, they wouldn't easily tell others.
Two weeks ago, the big shot behind Zhao Dongxue made a mistake and was ordered by the emperor to stay at home to reflect on his actions, and was not allowed to leave for three months.
It can be considered a temporary setback.
It coincides with the new year's competition for the title of "Queen of Flowers".
Zhao Dongxue knew then that her title as the top courtesan was probably gone for the year.
Not only is her title as the most beautiful courtesan uncertain, but her life is also likely to end soon.
Therefore, Zhao Dongxue was already preparing to escape from the Bureau of Entertainment).
For Zhao Dongxue, who possesses the Power of Shadow, escaping is not difficult.
However, before fleeing, she wanted to take a batch of gold and silver with her.
After escaping the Bureau of Entertainment and even the capital, they would hide in a small county town.
We'll plan something else once the storm has passed.
But what about this Shadow Marionette in front of me?
More importantly, the other party not only knew that he possessed the Power of Shadow, but also called out his name.
"We are not enemies," Ling Yi's Shadow Puppet slowly spoke.
He then added, "Let me remind you, do not drink alcohol for the next three days, or you will surely die."
After speaking, Ling Yi's Shadow Puppet pressed down on the two wooden boxes respectively.
The next moment, it sank into the ground with the box.
But within just a few breaths, the two Shadow Puppet reappeared.
Before Zhao Dongxue could ask any questions, he disappeared with several more boxes.
This process was repeated, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the warehouse was almost empty.
Only a wooden box remained, sitting alone in front of Zhao Dongxue's Shadow Puppet.
Zhao Dongxue's Shadow Puppet remained silent for a moment, then pressed down on the box, sank into the shadows, and disappeared.
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard room in the eastern Eastern District of the capital.
Zhao Dongxue's Shadow Puppet emerged from the Shadow beneath her feet, carrying a box.
That's right, Zhao Dongxue has already left the Bureau of Entertainment).
And they had already planned their escape route well in advance.
"Who is it? Why does it also know the Shadow Puppet Technique? And how can it Summon two Shadow Puppet?"
Zhao Dongxue murmured, her face pale.
Using the Shadow Puppet consumes too much stamina.
Although Zhao Dongxue was a rank-one Martial Practitioner, her physical strength was much weaker than Ling Yi's.
A Shadow Puppet nearly drained all her strength.
Moreover, it's not just Summon Shadow Puppet that consumes stamina; the duration of the Shadow Puppet' existence also continuously consumes stamina.
Even standing is extremely difficult for Zhao Dongxue now.
However, although Zhao Dongxue did not have Ling Yi Ox and Horse Physique, she had a way to replenish her strength more quickly.
Elixir!
Recall the Shadow Puppet.
Zhao Dongxue took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.
After about an incense stick's time, Zhao Dongxue finally regained some of her strength.
"You can't drink alcohol for three days? That must be from the Soul-Burying Powder, and in the entire capital, there's only one place that has Soul-Burying Powder!"
Zhao Dongxue frowned. "I didn't expect Wu Chengtian to be in such a hurry. We can't stay in the capital any longer!"
"I hope the princess will be blessed with good fortune!"
Without further hesitation, Zhao Dongxue opened the box, took out the gold and silver inside, and put them into a cloth bag.
He blew out the candle in the room, slung the cloth bag over his shoulder, took a step forward, and disappeared into the Shadow.
After Zhao Dongxue left, a dark figure emerged from the shadows in the corner.
It was Ling Yi's Shadow Puppet.
It was Zhao Dongxue's Shadow Puppet that tracked them here.
"Princess, Wu Chengtian," the Shadow Puppet murmured.
Then, it stepped back into the shadows and disappeared.
The next morning, Ling Yi was resting in the wooden cabin.
The door was then pushed open.
Qin Changming, his body hunched over, walked in.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, he asked with a smile, " Ling Yi, how was your haul last night?"
Ling Yi rubbed his eyes, yawned, and said with a wry smile, "Sixty taels of silver."
Then, he took out six ten-tael silver ingots from under his pillow.
"Weren't you supposed to be quite greedy? How come you only took this much?" Qin Changming, somewhat surprised.
"I dare not take more," Ling Yi shook his head.
"You can't be so timid!" Qin Changming shook his head.
He paused, then took out a book and a stack of silver notes from his robes, saying, "I saw everything you did last night; you did well."
"This is an internal martial arts manual, and two thousand taels of silver."
"The internal energy cultivation method, once you've memorized it, you must destroy it; it must never be revealed to anyone. This silver note is also a reward for you."
Ling Yi stood up excitedly, took the book and silver notes, and quickly clasped his hands in thanks.
"Thank you, Brother Qin. Don't worry, Brother Qin, if you ever need anything, just let me know, and I'll go through fire and water for you."
Qin Changming nodded in satisfaction.
Just as I was about to say something, I heard nine consecutive drumbeats.
Qin Changming's expression changed drastically. "Something's wrong! Something's happened!"
