Although Qiu Dafu's face appeared calm and indifferent, his heart was churning like a turbulent sea.
He gave the person who asked the question a cold look, forcing him to take a step back.
The questioner was the jailer on night watch again.
"What was the traitor's name?"
If you know the name, it will be much easier to find the person.
Without a second thought, Qiu Dafu blurted out, "Sun Yuan!"
Knowing the name, the jailers looked around. Some recognized the man, some had seen him before, some had a vague impression of him, and of course, some did not recognize him at all.
"Whoever captures this man will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and promoted one rank." Qiu Dafu did not forget to lure him with benefits.
He wouldn't act rashly without knowing the opponent's strength, so he needed to get these people away as soon as possible.
With such a generous reward, there are bound to be brave men. Faced with such a temptation, what were the jailers hesitating for? They rushed towards the government office one after another.
In the end, only the first guard remained.
"Wait...stop...you...at least leave one person behind."
These people are all thinking about rewards and promotions, without even knowing if they have the ability to capture the traitor.
Qiu Dafu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they did not let their guard down; the next step was of utmost importance.
He slowly and carefully lifted himself up, step by step, and entered the prison.
The remaining jailer followed cautiously behind.
"My lord, I can keep watch over things here. The prison is damp, dark, and filthy. You should go back and rest."
"General Chu ordered me to interrogate Lords Xu and Jiang. What, do you have any objections?"
"This... sir, please don't make things difficult for me." The jailer's legs were a little weak.
The higher-ups have issued a decree forbidding anyone from visiting him in prison.
Today, the fact that he allowed Qiu Dafu in is already an exception.
However, his attempts to stop Qiu Dafu were completely ineffective.
He stayed close behind Qiu Dafu the whole time, afraid that he might cause some trouble.
Qiu Dafu continued on his way, and soon he arrived at the prison.
Left with no other choice, the night watchman led Qiu Dafu to the place where the Jiang family was being held.
Qiu Dafu spotted Jiang Liu at first glance.
At this moment, Jiang Liu, the rest of the Jiang family, and the prefect were all curled up in their frozen bodies, half asleep.
Like Jiang Liu, Qiu Dafu also thought back to the time when he was imprisoned.
Thinking that the woman he loved was enduring the same ordeal as him, he clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.
Their footsteps were not loud, but they still alerted the prefect.
The prefect was the first to wake up. In his dazed state, he saw Qiu Dafu's blurry figure, and his confused mind instantly cleared.
It was him? He came to save me again?
Someone's here? Still half-asleep, Mr. Jiang thought someone had come to ask him a question again, and he sat up with a start.
Upon seeing that the person who came was Qiu Dafu, his first reaction was, how come this person is with the jailer?
Could it be that he's in cahoots with the bad guys?
He leaned towards the edge of the prison wall. "How did you get here?"
Upon hearing the question, Jiang's mother and her third sister-in-law, Yun, also woke up.
Finally, there's Jiang Liu.
Upon seeing Qiu Dafu, Jiang Liu's eyes instantly filled with tears.
"You know each other?" the jailer asked in confusion. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling and panicked.
What if this person forces me to open the prison gate?
Little did he know, he was overthinking things.
With a loud clang, Qiu Dafu cleaved open the prison gate with a single sword strike.
