When Yanyu entered the gate of the Imperial City with the Five Poisons Sect personnel and the dozen or so women, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally entered the Imperial City, she knew that she would spend a long time in the Imperial City until she found her father.

Of course, from this moment on, she must continue to live in the Imperial City as Meng Yan, unless one day, she can get the Golden Identity Token of the Imperial City named Yanyu.

Next, her task is very difficult, that is, to find a way to rescue Meng Ling and the dozen unfortunate women who were coerced.

Not long after entering the imperial city, Yanyu and Meng Ling, a dozen women, were taken away by several carriages that came to pick them up.

Since the curtain of the carriage was sealed, and the curtain of the door was guarded, they were not allowed to see outside at all on the road, so they did not know where they would be sent.

About an hour later, when they were tossed and tumbled in the carriage, they finally arrived at their destination.

After getting out of the car, when Yanyu and the others saw that it was in a very large cave with dozens of women inside, they knew that there were so many women who had been arrested like a dozen of them!

Yanyu probably counted about a hundred, all of them were young and beautiful women like them.

The cave was surrounded by torches, and the whole cave was illuminated very brightly, and in addition to the torches, there were many guards with serious expressions and large swords, and they were surrounded in the middle, and it was obvious that no one wanted to run out of the cave.

When they saw this scene, Yanyu and Meng Ling were dumbfounded, especially Yanyu, who realized that their idea of rescuing Meng Ling and the dozen or so women was too difficult to realize.

And even if they want to be saved, it is not limited to a dozen of them, but almost a hundred women, after all, Yanyu will never leave so many innocent girls behind, and escape with Meng Ling and a few of them alone.

However, the biggest headache for Yanyu is that they don't know where they are at present, and even if they escape, they don't know where to run.

Therefore, she had to calm down, not act rashly, and first find a way to find out the situation in this cave, as well as how these Five Poison Sect personnel would arrange their plans to enter the palace next, before deciding on the way to escape.

Subsequently, after hurriedly eating some things, at the request of the Five Poisons Sect personnel, each woman took turns to come to a small waterhole in the cave, washed briefly, and after washing, gave them some rouge gouache and asked them to put on makeup briefly.

When they were all washed and gathered in the middle of the cave, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect appeared.

To Yanyu's surprise, this Five Poisons Sect Leader was actually a woman, she was wearing a purple robe and an extremely bewitching mask, although she couldn't see her real face, but looking at her figure, conversation, and gestures, she could feel that the other party was a woman with a pungent personality, extraordinary skills, and thoughtfulness.

She stood on a dangling bulging stone in the cave, and announced in public that the Five Poisons Sect was a non-governmental organization loyal to the Li royal family of the previous dynasty, and the reason why it took a year to gather a hundred of them in the country was to select the best twenty women from among them, and enter the palace tomorrow to participate in the selection of palace maids in the royal palace of the current Jun clan.

The selected ones not only have no worries about food and clothing, but even their families can enjoy happiness with them, and some of the unsuccessful ones will be given to dignitaries as concubines to enjoy all kinds of favors.

If you have special talents, you will be sent to the song and dance workshop opened by the Five Poisons Sect to receive special training, especially for high-ranking officials and nobles, and even enter the palace to perform songs and dances for the royal family, and you can also enjoy endless glory and wealth.

As for the last remaining women, they will be sent to taverns, casinos, and green buildings opened by the Five Poisons Sect to be geisha, wearing gold and silver, eating and dressing warmly is not a problem, and a high reward of silver will be issued every month, which is enough for the family to not have to starve and freeze.

But the premise is that you must be loyal to the Li royal family of the previous dynasty, whether it is in the palace, or the concubine of a high-ranking official, or a dancer in a song and dance workshop, or even a geisha, you must obey the orders of the Five Poisons Sect at any time, and usually lurk in the palace, in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, taverns, casinos, and Qinglou to inquire about the news.

When necessary, at any time, the important news that the Five Poisons Sect cares about is secretly sent, and even under special circumstances, it is necessary to carry out the action of poisoning and killing important people.

If she is lucky enough to be selected to serve the royal family members in the palace, especially if she can attract the crown prince and become a palace maid who serves the crown prince closely, the Five Poisons Sect has another reward for her family.

If in the future, after the crown prince ascends the throne, she can cooperate with the Five Poisons Sect to control the new emperor and become the puppet of the Li royal family, then there will be more endless glory and wealth waiting for her.

At the end of the day, the Five Poisons Sect Leader's voice was extremely majestic, and he undoubtedly solemnly warned that if someone betrayed the Five Poisons Sect and divulged the secret, there would be only one end, and that would be to be executed, and the whole family would end up in the same way!

He also reiterated once again that no one should try to escape or escape from the control of the Five Poisons Sect, because each of them has been secretly poisoned with chronic poison in their bodies, as long as they take the antidote on time every day, they will be safe and sound, otherwise they will be poisoned and their whole bodies will fester.

Listening to the words of the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, the hundred women at the scene were in an uproar, and they all whispered about it, there were a few women who were greedy for pleasure, willing to take risks, and thought that the women who were rich and dangerous were naturally excited, looking forward to being able to enter the palace and be favored by the crown prince, or to be favored by a certain dignitary and nobleman to become a favorite concubine, and one day the sparrow would fly on the branches and become a phoenix.

But most women, despite their reluctance to do these risky things, have no choice but to compromise when they consider that they have been poisoned and their families are also threatened.

And although Yanyu had heard from Hedi Meng Yan about this situation before he died, he was still deeply shocked after listening to the detailed statement of the Five Poisons Sect Leader himself at this moment.

Only then did I understand that there is really such a vicious, unscrupulous, and careless organization in this world, especially if the leader of this organization is still a woman, Yanyu really wants to unmask this leader on the spot to see what this femme fatale woman can look like.

Yanyu also learned from the whispers of other women around him that the leader of the Five Poisons Sect and all the personnel actually broke the ice seal five years ahead of schedule during the fifteen-year period of the ice, and during these five years, they also participated in the bloody battle between the Li family and the Jun family, and in the end, although the Li family was defeated, there were still these people in this church who survived.

After that, he began to recruit troops and horses all over the country, accumulating strength, intending to one day completely defeat the Jun royal family and regain the imperial power of the Liansheng Kingdom.

He also took the opportunity to carefully select so many young women from all over the country, and took advantage of the special situation that they were frozen and did not need to be fed, did not need to breathe, and did not die, disguised as goods and secretly sent them to this hidden cave in the imperial city in batches.

As for the last batch, that is, Yanyu and Meng Ling, the dozen or so, since the whole country has been lifted from the ice, they are already living people, so they can't be transported according to the goods, so they entered the imperial city in the name of the dancing girls of the song and dance workshop.

After the Five Poisons Sect Leader said this, she silently flew down from the suspended stone, and approached one by one to carefully inspect the hundred women on the scene. During the inspection, she seemed to draw a symbol on each woman's eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil in her hand.

During this period, except for a few timid and frightened women who collapsed to the ground in fright, most of the women stood calmly in place, staring respectfully at the Five Poisons Sect Master, and a few women showed excitement and anticipation on their faces, and she left only after seeing all the women.

Just made a simple gesture before leaving, only to see the men guarding around the cave, quickly understood what she meant, and a few people came over with expressionless faces, and dragged away the women who had collapsed to the ground.

Not long after, the heart-rending screams of the women came from outside the cave, and soon there was no movement, apparently they were executed.

This scene also made the rest of the women break out in a cold sweat, knowing that the days ahead will be like walking on thin ice, and if they are a little careless, it will end miserably.

And the remaining 90 or so women soon each received a note, on which some wrote the words "palace maid", some wrote concubine, and some wrote dancers or geisha.

Obviously, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect had secretly made arrangements according to their own circumstances during the period of checking them one by one just now, among which exactly twenty were selected as palace maids, and the rest were divided among the concubines, dancers, and geishas.

And Yan Yu and Meng Ling are naturally palace maids in their hands, obviously the leader of the Five Poisons Sect still values the palace maids who can enter the palace to serve the crown prince.

As for the woman who got the geisha, her face was sad, her eyes were a little tangled, and some even shouted hysterically on the spot, and her spirit collapsed, so she was naturally pulled out and immediately executed.

After several sounds of the tragic death of women came from outside the cave one after another, the remaining women, even if they were dissatisfied, did not dare to mess around anymore, and silently chose to accept it.

Subsequently, these women were arranged to live in different places according to their different identities, and then they all fell asleep.

However, that night, almost all the women had no intention of sleeping, because they understood that from the next morning, they would have to start a new life according to the master's arrangement.

And Yanyu and Meng Ling were also tossing and turning, each with their own thoughts, and it was difficult to sleep.

Yanyu knew that in just this night, she had no way to rescue all the women.

Next, she can only take a step by step with Meng Ling, either find a way to escape on the way to the palace tomorrow morning, or she can only find a way after entering the palace.

It's just that either way, the premise is to get enough antidote first, otherwise it will be a dead end if you escape.

It's just that how to get the antidote secretly? Smoke and rain fell into deep contemplation again......
