"Who...who are you?" The jailer's body became unsteady.
This man is here to break us out of prison!
Prefect Xu quickly stood up, his heart filled with uncontrollable elation.
Huaiyuan is saved!
Jiang's father's face was tense, and his heart was full of suspicion.
He wondered who Qiu Dafu really was.
After the jailer finished speaking, he drew his sword and struck Qiu Dafu in a vital spot.
Qiu Dafu dodged and retaliated, and the sound of weapons clashing echoed in the prison.
Jiang Liu watched anxiously and cried out, "Be careful!"
The mother and third sister-in-law were even more worried for Qiu Dafu, who was now the Jiang family's only hope.
Soon, Jiang Liu and the others walked out of the prison one after another.
During the fight, Qiu Dafu took advantage of a break and cleaved open another cell door with his sword.
Without hesitation, Prefect Xu and Qiu Dafu attacked the jailers.
Although the jailer was not weak in martial arts, he was no match for four hands.
The two joined forces, and the jailer was no match for them. In the end, Qiu Dafu pressed a sword against his heart.
Just as the sword was about to pierce Qiu Dafu's chest, the jailer, in a moment of panic, grabbed Qiu Dafu's sword with both hands.
Fresh blood seeped freely through his fingers.
He was just following orders and really didn't want to meet the King of Hell in the middle of the night.
Besides, he didn't arrest these people, nor did he come up with the idea.
He was just a guard.
Ignoring the pain in his palms, he knelt down in front of Qiu Dafu with a thud. "My lord, spare my life! I surrender and am willing to follow you to the death!"
...On the other side, in the study of the government office,
Zheng Hong and Jiang Lian were completely engulfed in flames, unable to move forward or backward.
Jiang Lian covered his mouth and nose and coughed heavily a few times, "Cough cough... Zheng Hong, hang in there, let's rush out of the study together!"
Zheng Hong also coughed and said, "What good would it do to rush out? It would only lead to certain death. They're just waiting to catch us like turtles in a jar."
Unless... there are other exits.
Other exits? Jiang Lian turned to look at the back of the house. "There's a window behind the study. We can jump out through that window."
Zheng Hong followed Jiang Lian's gaze to the back of the house, and through the firelight, he saw a small round window.
It's big enough for one person to get in and out, but the height is just too high.
Jiang Lian, facing a life-or-death situation, was no longer afraid of heights.
Because the area around the back window was relatively secluded and there were no tables or books, the firelight did not reach there.
Zheng Hong: "What if there's one in the back window too..."
"Not necessarily. The back window isn't inside the mansion. Besides, it's so high up, they probably wouldn't have thought of it."
As Jiang Lian spoke, he pushed through the burning debris and pulled Zheng Hong towards the back of the house.
The two men were in the prime of their lives, and they died just like that. Of course, they were unwilling to accept it, and at this moment, they were doing everything they could to save themselves.
Just as Jiang Lian took a step, a piece of wood fell on his head.
At that very moment, Jiang Lian, who had difficulty walking, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Just as the long wooden stick was about to hit Jiang Lian's back, Zheng Hong swung his left arm and forcefully knocked the stick away into the distance.
Instantly, he felt an unbearable pain in his palm.
Jiang Lian struggled to get up and found that his right leg was burning with pain. He looked down and saw that the flames had ignited his trouser leg.
"pain!"
Pain beyond words; Jiang Lian felt a deep despair.
Zheng Hong also saw Jiang Lian's burning trouser leg, but at this moment, Jiang Lian didn't even have time to take off his clothes, and Zheng Hong didn't have time to help Jiang Lian put out the fire.
Seeing another heavy object crashing down from the roof, Zheng Hong ignored the pain, grabbed Jiang Lian's wrist with his right hand, and pulled him to the back of the study as fast as he could.
They walked a mere two steps with extreme danger.
