Achu's movements affected his wound, and the chains rattled. If it weren't for the chains blocking him, he would have pounced on Xiao Ruyu and cut him into pieces.

The guard at the gate saw that he was disrespectful to Xiao Ruyu and stepped forward and kicked him.

"How do you talk to a little princess?!"

"Haven't you had enough of living?!"

He kicked with all his strength, and Ah Chu, who was already covered in bruises, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruyu quickly stopped the guard and pulled him aside.

"What are you doing?!"

She took out a healing elixir from her bosom and wanted to give it to him, but Ah Chu slapped her across the face.

He glared at Xiao Ruyu with a sinister and unwilling look, and said "Pooh" harshly.

"You think I will take your poison? I may not be able to judge people well, but I'm not stupid!"

He is the stupidest one.

Even after being sold, he still helped count the money.

Xiao Ruyu muttered to himself and sent the guards away.

She looked around and lowered her voice.

"This is a healing herb. If you take it, it can temporarily suppress the pain in your body."

Ah Chu sneered and glanced away with disdain.

"Do you think I will believe you?"

Xiao Ruyu took advantage of his inattention and forced the elixir into his mouth. Just as he was about to spit it out, his mouth was sealed by spiritual power.

“Wow…mm…”

Achu twisted his body and tried to spit out the elixir, but it had already gone down his stomach.

The herbs took effect immediately in his body. A steady stream of warmth came over him, and Achu's body gradually calmed down. The wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His pupils gradually dilated and he spoke his first words after being untied.

"Why are you helping me?"

Seeing Ah Chu's look of disbelief, Xiao Ruyu sighed and started to play the sympathy card.

"Do you know that if the mother-child Gu is put into the body and it is not removed within three years, the body will explode and die?"

When Ah Chu heard her mention the mother-child Gu, he was obviously stunned and his confidence decreased a bit.

"What does this have to do with me..."

Xiao Ruyu raised her head, her eyes filled with sadness.

"My dear brother was poisoned by your evil cult when he was less than one year old. What does this have to do with you?"

"He is so young that he cannot even see the prosperity of the world. He lies in bed every day."

"Will those cult members who participated in this incident not feel guilty when they think of committing such a cruel act against a child in their dreams at midnight?"

Every word she said was heart-wrenching, and she was choked with sobs and almost couldn't continue.

After these words were spoken, Achu fell silent. He lowered his head, looking a little at a loss.

"But... I really don't know about this... I only know that it was the leader..."

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Ruyu calmed down and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

He looked at Ah Chu with a firm look in his eyes, "Where is the leader?"

She knew clearly in her heart that if she asked Ah Chu directly about the cult, she would not be able to pry open his hard mouth.

It would be better to just play the sympathy card and try to get some information out of him.

Ah Chu was obviously hesitant for a moment, and stammered for a long time, "Master... I really don't know where it is."

"but……"

He suddenly paused and looked up at Xiao Ruyu.

"What do you want to know?"

Xiao Ruyu was delighted, knowing that he was willing to tell her this information, and blurted it out quickly.

"How did Prime Minister Lu and the cult collude with each other?"

"Where is your lair?"

She asked a series of key questions, and Ah Chu thought about it carefully and told her everything he knew.

Even under severe torture, his mouth could not be pried open, but now he confessed everything because of Xiao Ruyu's few words.

"When Prime Minister Lu first came to the church, he was brought by a man in black."

"I don't know his name, but I heard from the leader that he has great powers and can do anything."

"I heard something during their first meeting. It seemed to be about..."

Ah Chu was halfway through his speech, and when he came to the crucial moment, he suddenly became speechless.

His mouth opened up and down, but no sound came out, only whimpering in his throat.

"Hmm...mmmm..."

Xiao Ruyu was puzzled and stared at Achu for a long time. She saw sweat on his anxious forehead.

This is……

Being banned?

She suddenly reacted and quickly asked Achu.

"Are you speechless?"

Ah Chu nodded frantically, pointed to his throat, and shook his head.

This technique has been lost for a long time and is a kind of witchcraft. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes.

"Don't panic, is this restriction given to you by the leader?"

Xiao Ruyu calmed down the flustered Ah Chu and patiently advised him.

"I will find a way to help you get rid of the restrictions, but it will take some time. Please wait for me."

Facing her sincere look, Ah Chu nodded for some reason.

When leaving the dungeon, Xiao Ruyu was still thinking about Achu's expression just now.

This Achu really surprised her a little.

It seems that the intention is not bad?

Just as she was about to leave the dungeon, a figure in the cell next to Ah Chu caught her attention.

Lu Zongyuan had lost a lot of weight and was wrapped in a quilt made of weeds, with his hands and feet curled up together.

It was a little chilly at night and he shivered from time to time.

Xiao Ruyu glanced at him and found that he could sleep soundly under such circumstances. It must be that the torture in the past few days had seriously damaged his vitality.

Never mind.

She was so kind that she didn't ask anyone to wake him up and just left.

The next day, Xiao Ruyu was sleeping when she was suddenly woken up by Eleven.

"Little Princess, something bad has happened!"

She opened her eyes blearily, trying to digest Eleven's words.

What happened?

Eleven looked anxious, with a flash of panic in his eyes, "Lu Zongyuan, he..."

"The prison was broken into last night!"

What?

Xiao Ruyu suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Eleven's hand and asked anxiously.

[Who broke into the prison? When I went to see him last night, he was still staying in the prison obediently.]

The eleventh general reported the words of the Ministry of Punishment truthfully.

"Last night at midnight, a man in black suddenly broke into the prison. That man was so skilled in martial arts that no one could stop him."

"He simply put the knife to the guard's neck and forced him to hand over the key."

"The remaining guards immediately called for reinforcements, but when they arrived, the person had disappeared!"

A man in black with great kung fu skills?

Several figures flashed through Xiao Ruyu's mind quickly, and she clutched the corner of the quilt tightly.

[Where is that person? Has he not been caught yet? ]

Eleven shook his head lightly, looking helpless, "That person had already made a plan and took Lu Zongyuan out of the capital overnight."

"At this point, I'm afraid I don't know which direction to go."

They both fell silent.

Lu Zongyuan was jailbroken, and the current clues are cut off. Achu, the only one who can speak, has also been restricted.

The current situation has reached a stalemate.

Xiao Ruyu suddenly remembered Doctor Yang and asked him quickly.

"Where's the Master?"
