Old Ge nodded to Old Yan and continued, "Gradually, we all calmed down and settled down to work in the Ministry of Works. Whatever they asked us to build, we built without ever asking why. But then, Tianlan was suddenly destroyed. Some of us fled, and some scattered. We thought we were going to die in the palace, but we never expected that the emperor would lock all the rest of us in this dungeon, never to leave again."

As An Ning listened, her nose suddenly stung with tears: "Why did that dog emperor lock you up here?"

Old Ge looked at Old Yan: "You should understand, right?"

Old Man Yan nodded: "To build a mausoleum for the emperor."

"Not only the tombs, but also the buildings that have sprung up in the capital are all our work, yet no one will ever know of our existence again."

Mu Ange looked at them and said in a deep voice, "I will take you out of here. I will collect the debts I owe Helian Kingdom, one by one."

Old Ge looked at Mu Ange, somewhat puzzled: "You? You're not a member of the royal family, so why are you?"

Mu Ange said, "Half of the blood of the Helian Kingdom flows in my veins."

Old Ge suddenly stood up: "You're the eldest princess's son?"

"Exactly."

Mu Ange knew that the eldest princess he mentioned was her mother.

Old Ge walked over and shook Mu Ange's hand: "Good, good, there is still the bloodline of our Helian Kingdom's royal family in this world, good."

"Your Highness, what about the General?"

Someone in the crowd asked a question.

Are you talking about my maternal grandfather?

"right."

Mu Ange lowered her eyes, her voice trembling: "Grandpa died on the border, his body left to lie buried for thousands of miles away."

"ah?"

The crowd gasped in surprise, and many began to sob.

The blood of the Helian Kingdom has been shed far too much.

Mu Ange looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you all. I will also avenge Helian Kingdom bit by bit."

Old Ge patted his arm: "Good, good young man."

"We're the only ones going out? There are so many guards outside, we can't get out at all. If there's even the slightest sign of trying to escape, they'll kill one of us. We originally had thirty-seven people, now there are only twenty-eight left."

An Ning frowned: "But we didn't notice anyone guarding us when we came in?"

Old Yan suddenly had a whimsical idea: "Could it be that they just happened to be lazy today and found a place to drink, and then we just happened to run into them, which is why they were able to get in so easily?"

Mu Ange glanced at the person still bound on the ground and said, "He's not exactly lazy. This person is highly skilled in martial arts; he can take on ten people."

Just as they were planning how to get out, Mu Ange suddenly held her breath: "Oh no, someone's coming."

"Take this person out first, and come back to rescue the others after we have a complete plan."

An Ning said.

Mu Ange nodded: "Alright, I have some sleeping potion here. Everyone, I'm sorry, but if I don't drug you, you will definitely be severely tortured."

Uncle Ge nodded: "Okay, but if we go back the way we came, we might run into them. Let's go this way, through the tunnel we just dug."

An Ning was overjoyed: "Since there's a tunnel, shall we go together?"

Uncle Ge smiled and shook his head: "So many people? That's not realistic. Besides, they need to count every day. If one person is missing, the tunnel will be exposed. Quick, over here."

Uncle Ge pointed to an extremely hidden corner of the dark cave and said.

The three men dared not delay and quickly left with the prisoners.

Just as Uncle Ge closed the secret passage, a sound came from the steps. At that moment, the sleeping potion that Mu Ange had prepared earlier began to take effect, and soon everyone collapsed to the ground.

Upon reaching the top of the steps and seeing the corpse, the man in black was utterly shocked...
