It is said that when Xu Le and his men rushed to the execution room, they did not see Qi Yang, who was supposed to be dying. There was no one else in the execution room except the two secret guards who were unconscious on the ground, and the guards at the door were nowhere to be found.
"This Qi Yang is really cunning! He even used a trick to escape! But it's okay if he didn't die. Did he think he could escape Tianyuan Villa after escaping from the torture chamber?" Xu Le said angrily.
"How about arranging manpower?" Fan Shiwen asked.
"Go quickly! Search carefully for me!" Xu Le shouted.

After Qi Yang rolled over the stone gate, he struggled for a long time without getting up.
"Brother Qi Yang!" Ling'er quickly helped him sit up.
Qi Yang said weakly: "I'm fine, just take a moment... it'll be fine."
Ling'er was very worried and wanted to check Qi Yang's injuries but had nowhere to start!
Ling'er asked anxiously: "Where did you get hurt?" But as soon as she said the words, she felt something was wrong. Qi Yang was covered in injuries, and he was hurt everywhere from this roll.
Ling'er hurriedly changed her words and asked, "Where's the bleeding? I'll help you stop the bleeding."
Qi Yang shook his head gently and said, "I avoided the wound."
Qi Yang was covered in injuries, but Ling'er understood that he was referring to the injury on his left abdomen.
Qi Yang slowed down a little, then supported Ling'er's arm to stand up.
"Will they come after me?" Ling'er asked worriedly.
"We will chase him, but not that fast. Xu Leting will search Tianyuan Villa first." Qi Yang comforted Ling'er.
"Then you should rest for a while!" Ling'er felt very distressed when she saw Qi Yang sweating profusely.
"No, you still have to stay away from here." Qi Yang said.
Outside the stone door is a long passage lit by torches. Perhaps it was because Xu Le felt that no one could escape from Tianyuan Villa, so he didn't send anyone to guard here.
At the end of the passage, the voices of several men were faintly heard.
Qi Yang said to Ling'er: "If he is discovered, he will be killed with a steel needle as soon as possible."
Ling'er nodded and touched the package of steel needles in his pocket. It turns out that just now Qi Yang had some steel needles left after inserting them back into the holes on his belt, and put them at Ling'er's place.
Qi Yang supported the wall and stood up, letting Ling'er concentrate on dealing with the enemy.
Ling'er stretched out her head and looked outside, and found a spacious cave in front of her. There is a door directly opposite this passage, and Qiu Yuju should be outside the door.
In this cave, there are four guards. They are taking out a square table from the corner and taking out some dice, as if they are preparing for a big gamble.
"Old Zhao, Dashan, please work harder for me to win back all the money I lost to this kid last night." said a man wearing a single eyepatch.
As soon as these words came out, the old and the young around him all started gearing up.
Opposite them stood a middle-aged man. He curled his lips and said, "Then show your skills." After saying that, the middle-aged man picked up the dice cup and shook it quickly.
"How should I get out?" Ling'er looked at Qi Yang in embarrassment and saw that he was listening carefully with his eyes slightly lowered.
Linger then remembered that Qi Yang was the head of Shuntong Gambling House. When she didn't know that Qi Yang was Xiao Yizi's sixth brother, she often heard Xiao Yizi mention his sixth brother's superb gambling skills.
The middle-aged man suddenly stopped, put the dice cup on the table, and asked with a smile: "Are you betting big or small this time?"
The three people looked at each other, all looking confused. Finally, the one-eyed man spoke: "Why don't you keep me young?"
"Okay, let's keep him safe!" the old man beside him agreed.
"Let's open it then?" the middle-aged man said, about to take off the dice cup.
Ling'er turned to look at Qi Yang, a little curious whether they had won the bet.
Qi Yang shook his head at Linger.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard the middle-aged man say proudly: "I'm sorry, everyone! Turn it on big."
"Oops! It's all your fault, Lao Zhao, how could it be Xiao?" the one-eyed man said upset.
"Why do you blame me? It's obviously you who told me to imprison the child!" the old man said angrily.
"It's all your fault! I lost again!" The young man next to the old man finally spoke.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the three losers blamed each other and shirk responsibility.
In the end, the middle-aged man raised his hand to ask them to quiet down. He said: "You each owe me eight taels of silver. Do you still continue to gamble?"
"Of course we have to continue. As long as we win one set, the previous ones will be wiped out." The young man said.
"But if you continue to lose, you will owe me sixteen taels, and you won't be able to pay it back then!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Even if we can't afford it, we have to continue! I don't believe in evil anymore, I will keep losing!" The old man was very unconvinced.
"Yes! You must continue. Don't run away after winning money." said the one-eyed man.
"Then continue, please listen carefully now." The middle-aged man said, picked up the dice cup and started shaking it again.
After hearing this, Ling'er also understood their gambling method. The winner doubles his win in every game, while the loser can come back as long as he wins the previous game, otherwise he will have to pay the opponent a lot of money. This bet is snowballing, making them reluctant to stop midway.
Qi Yang walked back a few steps while holding on to the wall, signaling Ling'er to step aside and talk.
"These four people are not low in martial arts. Even if they fight alone, I am afraid that the girl will not be their opponent." Qi Yang said softly.
"Then how should we get out? Have you thought of a countermeasure?" Ling'er asked softly.
"Well, we can only take advantage of the chaos to attack them." Qi Yang paused and continued, "The banker is very skilled and has been using techniques to confuse the other party's hearing and hearing. And the three players only have a little understanding of it. This is extremely difficult. The guess is correct, but there is no chance of a comeback. Once they guess correctly, it will be a good time for us to take action."
---
Sure enough, as Qi Yang expected, the three people guessed the size and lost all the way.
They were so jealous of gambling that they would not give up even if they lost the next game and would owe one hundred and twenty-eight taels.
The middle-aged man took down the dice cup again and said with a smile: "This time it's one hundred and twenty-eight taels, and I will accompany you to the end."
"Big! Big!" the one-eyed man said hurriedly.
"Are you all betting big?" The middle-aged man looked at the two outsiders and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Ling'er turned to look at Qi Yang and asked about the result.
Qi Yang sighed and shook his head again.
Suddenly, the young man held down the middle-aged man's hand that was about to open the dice cup and said, "What's the hurry? We haven't decided yet!"
The middle-aged man said impatiently: "Didn't he say that he was the big one?"
"He is him and I am me! He loses every time. I won't listen to him this time." The young man said.
The old man beside him couldn't help but began to doubt the one-eyed man, and asked him: "Did you do it on purpose? Do you say it wrong every time?"
"Old Zhao, please don't accuse me wrongly. I want to win money just like you!" the one-eyed man hurriedly defended.
"Then we are going to escort the child this time, will you follow?" the old man asked.
"Follow!" In order to prove his innocence, the one-eyed man had no choice but to follow Oshiko. He was just guessing anyway.
The middle-aged man's smile froze, and he quickly confirmed to them again: "Are you sure you all bet small? If you lose this time, it will be one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver! That's more than your monthly income for several years!"
The three men nodded firmly.
Ling'er in the dark quickly checked with Qi Yang. When Qi Yang nodded, she took out the half pack of steel needles and prepared them.
