  She didn't know how long it had been, but Hu Jing felt Chen Yuan's saliva starting to leave a mark on her face. She suddenly felt annoyed in her heart and started twisting her head, dodging the invasion of Chen Yuan's big mouth.

  But this place is too small, even if Hu Jing's martial arts are much better than Chen Yu's, it's still impossible to avoid.

  After struggling for a moment, Hu Jing suddenly felt that what was moving on her face again was not Chen Yuan's smelly mouth, but a cloth strip soaked with saliva.

  The cloth strip was stuffed into Chen Yuan's mouth. After nearly an hour of effort, he finally managed to pull out a bit of the cloth strip.

  Hu Jing immediately understood that Chen Yuan was not taking advantage of her, but rather trying to get the cloth strip out of his mouth. She no longer dodged him.

  Another half-hour passed, and with Hu Jing's help, Chen Yuan finally managed to get the thing out of his mouth.

  A wave of nausea washed over him, bringing with it a feeling of wanting to vomit. Once the uncomfortable sensation passed, Chen Yuan took a deep breath: "I can finally speak! Come here, let me help you spit out the cloth in your mouth."

  Hu Jing nodded and turned her head around.

  Chen Yuan leaned his mouth over, and because it was too dark, he could only barely make out the outline of Hu Jing's head. As for where her lips were, they were hard to find.

  The first thing he touched was Hu Jing's forehead. Chen Yuan's lips followed her forehead all the way down, finding her nose first and then her mouth.

  This process made Hu Jing feel her face burning, fortunately there was no sunlight here, and Chen Yuan couldn't see her complexion. After finding the lips, Chen Yuan bit the cloth strip with his teeth and pulled it out. Hu Jing also had a dry evil, then took a deep breath, and the whole person retreated: "Sorry, I've implicated you again."

  Chen Yuan smiled lightly: "What's the point of saying these now? I think it's impossible for people outside to find us and come rescue us. Is your voice loud enough? Let's shout a couple of times and see if people outside can hear us."

  Hu Jing nodded: "Good."

  Two people shouted at the top of their lungs, but after a few cries, the occasional footsteps from above were still silent, which made Chen Yuan very depressed. Because this situation explains one thing, the local door is very thick, with a lot of miscellaneous objects piled up on it, and has a good sound insulation effect.

  The two of them shouted until they were tired, and then they stopped shouting. Hu Jing was a Jianghu person, who viewed life and death relatively lightly. But Chen Yuan was different, being afraid of death was his nature, precisely because he was afraid of death, so now he had a strong desire to survive.

  A glimmer of hope is still hope; if you give up now, it's equivalent to seeking death yourself.

  Chen Yuan rested for a while and then said to Hu Jing: "Come over, I'll bite off the ropes on my body."

  Hu Jing shook her head: "It's useless, this rope is made of the best golden thread, even with a sharp blade, it can't be cut off."

  Chen Yuan did not lose his spirit because of Hu Jing's words. Now he must break free from the restraints and think of a way to get out. It doesn't matter what kind of rope it is, even if it's a steel bar, he wants to gnaw on it. What is impossible? Things that are not done are absolutely impossible. As long as you try hard, everything is possible, including biting through this thick and sturdy rope with your teeth.

  The rope was tied in a dead knot, and the only way to start was from the middle. Chen Yuan chose the section on the back of Hu Jing's arm as the starting point, opened his mouth and bit down.

  It feels like it has a lot of momentum.

  Just as Chen Yuan was getting tense, Hu Jing suddenly poked him and whispered: "There may be someone else here!"

  Chen Yuan hurriedly sat up and listened carefully with his ear to one side. Sure enough, he heard the sound of something hitting against something else nearby.

  Two people's hearts tightened with anxiety, fearing that the other had left someone to keep watch. If so, then there really was no hope of getting out.

  After a while, the crashing sound grew louder and louder. Chen plucked up his courage and asked, "Is there someone beside us?"

  Suddenly came two knocks, apparently in response to Chen Yuan's question.

  Chen Yuan didn't know who the other person was, and thought for a moment: "Someone just said that!"

  There was no sound anymore, just that crashing sound starting again, coming at a very high frequency.

  Hu Jing elbowed Chen Yuan: "He may also be unable to speak. Maybe he's like us, locked up too."

  "Hey, were you also caught and brought in? If so, let's knock against each other."

  "Bang!" The sound of the collision still echoed.

  Chen Yuan immediately felt at ease, as long as it wasn't the guard. His mood also improved a bit, even though he didn't know who the other person was, but in such an environment, suddenly discovering that there was another person in the same predicament as himself, would always make him think of the saying "safety in numbers". That person may still need their help now, this principle may not be applicable at present, but it could comfort the anxiety in his heart.

  "Don't worry, conserve your energy, if we can get out, we'll definitely go rescue them, just be at ease."

  That person was quiet, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and nudged Hu Jing with his shoulder: "Turn around, let's continue."

  When Bao Zheng met Emperor Renzong, the emperor was extremely angry and was in a rage over something. Fan Zhongyan and others had thought that with the expulsion of the scoundrel Pang Ji from the court and the relinquishing of power by the petty man Lü Yijian, a court composed of upright gentlemen would soon bring the Song Dynasty to prosperity.

  However, things developed differently from what they had imagined. Renzong now had to deal with the problems brought about by some of the positions that Lü Yijian had also resigned from.

  Lü Yi had just put down his power, and Xia Ju immediately took over.

  Xia Song was the Grand Commandant of the current dynasty, and his position in the imperial court was not lower than that of Lü Yijian and Pang Ji. The reason why Fan Zhongyan and others could confront Pang Ji was inseparable from Xia Song's support behind their backs.

  Lü Yi Jian's abandoned position, the Zhífāng Sī's location, indeed made Xia Zhen's eyes red with envy. Because every year, the imperial court would allocate a portion of the market share from the Shìyì Sī to the Zhífāng Sī.

  Shi Yi Si is a foreign trade institution set up by the Song Dynasty on the border. It is responsible for trade with surrounding countries.

  For example, how to trade with Liao this year and how much salt to sell to Liao, we must control the continuous demand of Liao for edible salt and ensure that Liao will not launch a war against the Song Dynasty due to lack of salt.

  Those who can arbitrarily pull out transaction shares from the market are the professional traders.

  The Zhīfāng Sī's public mission is to assist the Shìyì Sī in investigating illegal transactions by officials, citizens and merchants.

  That is to say, if a merchant trades with a foreign country and the customs authorities say that his goods are smuggled, then they are smuggled.

  So in Xia Song's eyes, the Ministry of Works was a very lucrative department. When Lü Yi Jian gave up his rights to this department, Xia Song immediately sent his trusted subordinate Wen Yanbo to take over.
