Chapter 155 Saving the Prisoners
Bai Ze entered the dark corridor with his black-clad guards.
Several people walked down the stairs with torches and arrived at a dimly lit place.
The light from the torches dimly illuminated the surroundings, and what came into view were two iron cages made of black iron.
The iron cage was very large and contained several people.
"The King of Qi has indeed imprisoned someone in here."
"Who are these people? Why are they imprisoned here?"
Bai Ze frowned and approached the iron cage with a torch.
He glanced at the people in the iron cage, and then looked at the black-clad guards beside him.
"First, you should send someone to guard the cave entrance. If any guards from Prince Qi's palace come, kill them on the spot. Remember not to make any noise."
"Others, find a way to open this black iron cage."
The black-clad guard clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
After Bai Ze finished making the arrangements, a black-clad guard walked towards the cave entrance with a tinderbox and a sword in hand.
Bai Ze took several other black-clad guards and tried to find a way to open the iron cage.
The iron cages were made of black iron and were all locked with black locks.
The lock was of a very complicated structure, unlike the locks cast by ordinary masters. It could not be opened without the corresponding key.
Bai Ze and several guards tried to open the lock with a dagger for a long time, but they still couldn't open it.
"Never mind, let's find someone first."
"Who are you looking for?" asked the black-clad guard.
Bai Ze said in a deep voice: "Look for a young man with a black mole on his nose."
"yes."
After the black-clad guards finished speaking, they lit torches and checked the appearance of the people in the iron cages one by one.
There were five or six people locked in the iron cage.
There are old people, children, young men and women.
The black-clad guards examined the men's appearances while muttering, "I wonder what they've done to be brought here."
Bai Ze had an expressionless face as he followed the firelight and his eyes fell on a young man in a white quilt in an iron cage.
The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing thin clothes, but his eyes were very powerful.
There was an indescribable stubbornness in him, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Bai Ze strode forward, walked up to the young man, and asked in a low voice: "What's your name? Why are you imprisoned here?"
The young boy did not reply to Bai Ze, but just looked at him with cold eyes.
Bai Ze smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not a bad person."
"Don't worry, I will find a way to get you out."
After Bai Ze finished speaking, he stood up and began to look for Chen Tingzhou's whereabouts.
"Boss, this man has a black mole on his nose."
Bai Ze quickly turned around and headed towards the direction of the sound.
A man was tied to an iron frame, his limbs pierced by chains and he was wearing a white quilt soaked with blood.
Although he was disheveled, his handsome features could be clearly seen and he was thin.
There was a black mole above his high nose bridge, his thin lips were slightly pale, and he looked lifeless, as if he had fainted.
"really……"
"It's him indeed."
"Quickly find a way to open the iron cage!"
"Yes, boss." The black-clad guard said, and continued to pry the lock with a dagger.
But they pried for a long time and there was no movement.
"This iron cage is made of black iron. It would be a wonder if you could pry it open." The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy spoke from inside the iron cage.
Bai Ze frowned slightly and looked at the young man.
"Do you know how to open this lock?"
The boy smiled and said, "Of course I know."
"What method?" Bai Ze asked.
The young man snorted coldly, "Why should I tell you? What if you are also bad people?"
Bai Ze: "If I were a bad guy, I wouldn't risk my life to save you."
"Since you know the method, tell me and I will rescue you today."
The young man stared at Bai Ze, looking around for a moment, then said, "You need a key made of magnet to open the lock, or a sharp blade made of magnet to pry it open."
"Magnet?" Bai Ze frowned.
"The young master knows a lot. He is a rare talent."
"Boss, what should we do now?" A guard in black hurried over.
Bai Ze said, "Take one person and leave the Prince Qi's mansion first, and inform the Prince and Princess of what happened here. I remember that the Prince seemed to have a magnet dagger in his hand."
"One person will go and inform Master Yu and Zi Xuan, and have them search Prince Qi's mansion for the key made of magnet."
"Everyone else, work with me to find a way to open this iron cage."
The black-clad guard clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
After Bai Ze gave orders to several people, the two black-clad secret guards immediately left the underground prison.
He and his men continued to find a way to open the iron cage.
"Ask them all their names one by one."
"Why is the Prince Qi's Mansion holding these people?"
"Yes." The black-clad guard bowed.
At the same time, at Prince Li’s Mansion.
As soon as Su Yuheng and Huo Xingzhi arrived at Prince Li's Mansion, secret guards in black came and told them what had happened in Prince Qi's Mansion.
"A young man with a mole on his nose?"
"Could it be that he is really my brother?"
When Su Yuheng heard the guards talk about Shen Tingzhou's miserable condition, his heart ached.
"If that man is really my brother, what grudge does he have against the King of Qi that would make the King of Qi treat him like this?"
"Heng'er." Huo Xingzhi held Su Yuheng tightly.
"You go to the palace first, I'll go to Prince Qi's palace."
"I want to go too." Su Yuheng said.
Huo Xingzhi said: "This trip is dangerous. You are a woman and have no martial arts skills. I will go."
Huo Xingzhi reached out and held her wrist tightly.
"I know you're worried, but time is of the essence. Please wait in Prince Li's mansion until I bring your brother back."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Okay, then I will wait for news from the prince at Prince Li's mansion."
Huo Xingzhi nodded, escorted Su Yuheng back to the wing room, and then went to the study alone.
The secret box opened, and a sharp dagger came into view.
Huo Xingzhi picked up the dagger, turned around and left Prince Li's Mansion and went to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Led by the guard Heizi, Huo Xingzhi arrived at the Weishui Pavilion in the Prince of Qi's Mansion.
The rockery mechanism opened, and a dark corridor appeared in front of the two.
Huo Xingzhi led his men into the corridor.
"Your Highness, you are finally here." Bai Ze hurried over.
Huo Xingzhi had an expressionless face as he looked in the direction of the torch and saw clearly the people sitting in the iron cage.
He slowly approached, glanced at a few people, and finally set his eyes on a young woman.
The woman was covered in blood. When she saw Huo Xingzhi coming, she crawled to the iron railing in a panic, mumbling something.
Huo Xingzhi frowned, and the more he looked at the woman, the stranger she seemed to him.
"Master, her tongue was cut off, and even several of her fingers were chopped off, but we still don't know her identity." Bai Ze said.
"Besides, I feel like she looks very familiar."
"I can't describe that feeling."
Huo Xingzhi approached slowly, and the woman stretched out her hand, babbling as she tried to grab Huo Xingzhi's hand.
Huo Xingzhi didn't know his identity and didn't dare to go forward.
The most important thing right now is to rescue these people.
"Rescue these people first, and then have someone send their portraits to the Tianji Pavilion to verify their identities."
