Just throw this thing away!
"Boom!"
The deafening noise echoed throughout the prison.
Imprisoned in the deepest part, Grand Tutor Cheng vaguely heard a rumbling sound. He sat on the damp and dirty ground, where there was only a mat and a tattered, sour-smelling thin quilt.
It's so cold... Winter is almost here.
Old Zhou, I have done my best, but His Majesty is determined to put the Zhou family to death!
"My daughter, it's because your father is too useless." Grand Tutor Cheng gave a bitter, weathered laugh, looked down at the hands of his parents who had raised the royal children, his mouth full of bitterness, sorrow, and resentment.
"I can teach people to sacrifice themselves for righteousness and to be selfless and dedicated to public service, but I cannot teach them to have a corrupted conscience."
"But I am unwilling! I am unwilling!"
"You finally waited for Zhou Cheng to turn back, and finally the country was at peace, so why! Why is it that military generals rarely meet a good end? Why can't sincerity be exchanged for sincerity? Where is justice?!"
“My daughter, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out… I’m just afraid I’ll implicate you.”
The matter concerning Zhou Cheng has not yet been settled, so Emperor Yan will not take action against the Cheng family for the time being.
However, once the Zhou family steps down, Emperor Yan will definitely hold him accountable. He has a marriage alliance with the Zhou family, and he has spoken out for Zhou Zhenguang with all his heart in court. He will surely not escape disaster.
If he falls, the Cheng family will surely fall.
What should I do about my daughter?
"If I were to atone with my death... would His Majesty spare her because she is an orphan?" Grand Tutor Cheng thought sadly, his eyes slowly turning to the hard wall.
The idea had just begun to emerge.
Sudden!
A sharp scream rang out from outside the gate, followed by a petite figure in a black bodysuit rushing into the cell and wielding a long sword to cleave open the iron lock.
She grabbed Cheng Taifu's arm and ran towards the door.
"You, who are you?" Grand Tutor Cheng was shocked and utterly astonished as he looked at the masked man in black who had stormed in.
"Shut up!" came a woman's voice.
The other party seemed very impatient, with a hint of anger at having his plans disrupted: "I am here to save you on the orders of my lord. The Yan Emperor has attacked the Zhou family. If you don't want to die, stick close to me and escape from here."
"But I don't know you..." Grand Tutor Cheng was completely confused about the situation.
He could only be forcibly pulled by the woman's hand and run towards the prison gate.
Halfway there!
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out outside the door.
The petite figure's expression changed drastically.
Immediately afterwards.
A tall, burly man dressed in black rushed in, shouting in a panic to the woman, "It's too late! That group of people rushed in, and it seems they're also after Grand Tutor Cheng."
"What do we do? We're surrounded. The enemy doesn't have many men, but each of them has those strange weapons. There are hundreds of officers and prison guards, hundreds of them!"
"We were wiped out in an instant without even exchanging a single glance."
"Damn it, who on earth is this?!" The petite woman gritted her teeth.
Two hours ago, she suddenly received an order from her master.
She was ordered to do everything in her power to come here and rescue Grand Tutor Cheng.
She immediately organized a group to storm the prison, but they had only made it halfway when they ran into another group of incredibly powerful guards who were also attempting a prison break!
