Yan Mo didn't look at Gu Hui much, and followed the Tenth Princess out to the carriage.
The Tenth Princess's residence was right next to the palace, but the dungeon was on the other side of the palace. The Tenth Princess's body couldn't handle walking, so she had to travel by carriage.
Gu Hui was driving the carriage outside, while Yan Mo was talking to the Tenth Princess inside.
The two didn't say much, just some everyday concern, and Yan Mo nagging the Tenth Princess that she shouldn't have come out so late at night.
Upon arriving at the dungeon, Gu Hui was also summoned along because of the Tenth Princess's trust.
Gu Hui helped the Tenth Princess as they walked down the road.
The dungeon in the Goddess Kingdom was indeed underground. It was cold and damp down there, and there weren't many prisoners. Even after walking all the way to the very end, I only saw four or five, all of them women.
Gu Hui thoughtfully pulled the cloak around the tenth princess's neck and asked her worriedly if she could handle it, suggesting that she go back to the carriage to get a blanket to wrap herself in.
The Tenth Princess was becoming increasingly satisfied with Gu Hui.
She was wearing more layers than Gu Hui and Yan Mo, but she felt a little cold at first, though she got used to it.
When they reached the innermost cell, Yan Mo stopped and said to the Tenth Princess, "Xiang'er, you wait for me here. Don't go in and soil your clothes."
The tenth princess nodded gently, then looked curiously at the Great Zhou general who was tied up in the prison cell.
She was genuinely just curious. She had fallen in love with the Prince of Southern Xinjiang, and she thought he was the bravest man she had ever met. Yet someone had chased him all the way through three countries, even injuring this brave man. If they hadn't reached the capital, the Prince of Southern Xinjiang wouldn't have been able to escape danger.
She was curious about this person, and of course, she was also angry that he had driven her beloved man to injury.
Gu Hui coldly stared at Peng Ze, who was tied up in the cell.
Peng Ze was tightly bound to a pillar, his hair disheveled, his clothes tattered from being whipped, and his head was tilted weakly to the side.
Gu Hui's fists clenched involuntarily. Yan Mo, if I don't kill you in this life, I'm not Gu. You dare to touch my man?
Her usual expressionless face became her protective shield at that moment.
Yan Mo entered the cell, picked up a whip from the ground, and lashed it directly at Peng Ze.
With a muffled groan, Peng Ze woke up.
Yan Mo smiled and said, "General Ze, have you made up your mind? Do you remember the revised city defense map of Kun City?"
"Ha!" Peng Ze sneered, "Want the city defense map? Trade your life for it! Let me carry your dog's head to the Kun River, and the soldiers of my Great Zhou Navy will definitely trade with you!"
His voice was hoarse, no longer the kind of voice Gu Hui remembered and loved.
Yan Mo laughed: "If I cut off your food and water for another three days, do you think you can hold out?"
Peng Ze laughed even louder, his hoarse voice cutting Gu Hui like a knife: "This general is a man of the Peng family of the Great Zhou. Let alone cutting off your food and water, even if you cut off my head today, you still won't get what you want. Yan Mo, you heartless, disloyal, unfilial, and unjust wretch, if you can betray the Great Zhou today, you will surely betray the Goddess Kingdom in the future! Tenth Princess, do you think I'm right?"
Peng Ze's gaze fell on the thin girl outside the door, who was wearing a silver-white cloak.
When he met the eyes of the female guard beside the Tenth Princess, he was stunned. Those eyes, that look, that expression, were just like that woman, Gu Hui!
No, that's impossible. She couldn't possibly be here. It can't be her.
