"Impossible! How could General Li possibly entrust the Xuanjia Token to an unknown soldier like you!"
As the man spoke, he tried to snatch the Xuanjia Token to examine it closely.
But Qin Yu reacted faster and dodged it directly.
"Since you recognize the Xuanjia Token, you must be someone General Li trusts. If you really want to know the truth, then come with us into the Heavenly Prison to see General Li."
Qin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at the masked man in front of him.
Upon hearing this, the man's expression became conflicted.
Hu Pan was also watching him cautiously, afraid that the guy would suddenly make a move.
After waiting for a moment, the man looked up at Qin Yu.
"Fine, I'll believe you this once. But if you're trying to set a trap for me, neither of you will survive until I die."
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Yu smiled and nodded.
He then instructed Hu Pan to prepare another set of prison guard's clothes. After the man changed into them, the three of them headed into the prison.
All of Xing Jun's men in the prison have been sent away by Hu Pan. Now, those guarding the prison are either Hu Pan's men or ordinary prison guards.
So they were not questioned along the way.
The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one in the prison was paying attention to him.
Before long, they arrived at the number one cell in the Heavenly Class.
After dismissing the jailer at the door, the group went inside.
"General Li!"
Hu Pan called out.
Upon hearing his voice, Li Dingbang, who was lying on the bed groaning in pain, wearing a tattered and bloodstained prison uniform, finally raised his head.
But before he could speak, the man following behind Qin Yu and the others flew into a rage.
"Is this what you call 'all right'? Look at the state you've put General Li in! I'm going to kill you henchmen!"
As he spoke, the man pulled out a dagger from somewhere and charged towards Qin Yu and the others.
"Oh no, Your Majesty, be careful!"
Hu Pan exclaimed in surprise and immediately tried to rush forward to help Qin Yu block the knife.
But at that moment, Qin Yu, who had been motionless just moments before, suddenly raised her hand, grabbed the man's wrist, and then pressed down hard, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
Hu Pan was stunned by this scene.
Your Majesty, when did you become so powerful!
Li Dingbang was also startled. He couldn't care less about pretending to be in excruciating pain and jumped out of bed immediately.
"Dingfang, it's you?!"
Li Dingbang exclaimed in surprise, looking incredulously at the man being pinned down by Qin Yu.
"General Li, I heard that you have suffered greatly in the prison and have contracted carbuncles, so I came to the prison to rescue you."
Upon hearing Li Dingbang call his name, Wang Dingfang, who had just looked fierce, immediately burst into tears.
Seeing his tearful expression, Li Dingbang quickly looked at Qin Yu.
"Your Majesty, Dingfang was so eager to save people that he dared to attack you. You... this old minister begs you to spare his life!"
As Li Dingbang spoke, he knelt down.
Just now, Wang Dingfang attacked Qin Yu with murderous intent, and Li Dingbang is now completely putting aside his pride to plead for him.
"What?! Your Majesty?!"
Wang Dingfang was also startled and looked at Qin Yu in disbelief.
At that moment, Wang Dingfang felt his mind go completely blank.
I just attacked His Majesty?!
"Hmph, daring to assassinate His Majesty, executing your entire clan wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
Hu Pan, who was standing to the side, snorted coldly.
"His Majesty!"
Li Dingbang immediately became anxious.
Seeing his pleading expression, Qin Yu smiled slightly and released Wang Dingfang.
"General Li, there's no need for that. I know General Wang was just trying to save lives; otherwise, I would have killed him just now."
Qin Yu helped Li Dingbang up.
Li Dingbang paused for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed, Qin Yu's move in subduing Wang Dingfang just now proved that he had the ability to kill Wang Dingfang.
However, Li Dingbang couldn't figure out when his emperor, who had been indulging in wine and women for so many years, had developed such formidable skills.
However, he doesn't need to figure it out.
"Dingfang, why don't you hurry up and thank the emperor?"
Li Dingbang's tiger-like eyes immediately turned to Wang Dingfang.
Wang Dingfang then hurriedly knelt down respectfully again.
"This humble servant is grateful for Your Majesty's mercy in sparing my life."
"Get up." Qin Yu didn't pursue the matter of his offense and waved his hand.
Wang Dingfang breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly looked at Li Dingbang.
"General Li, what exactly is going on?"
When Wang Dingfang asked this question, he glanced at Qin Yu cautiously.
Didn't he hear that their emperor was extremely incompetent and even eager to kill General Li?
What's going on here? Why is the tyrannical emperor in the imperial prison, and why does he seem so close to General Li?
Seeing that he cared about this issue, Li Dingbang first looked at Qin Yu.
Seeing Qin Yu nod, Li Dingbang then briefly explained the whole story.
Upon hearing that it was this tyrannical emperor who risked his life to enter the imperial prison and cure Li Dingbang's carbuncle, Wang Dingfang immediately felt overwhelmed with guilt and hurriedly knelt down again.
"Your Majesty, you have done General Li such a great favor, and I treated you so badly just now. I would rather die than accept that."
Wang Dingfang kowtowed several times.
Hearing the heavy thud of his kowtow, Qin Yu quickly helped him up.
"We became friends after our fight. I see that General Wang is also a valiant general. I may need to rely on you guys in the future."
Qin Yu chuckled and patted Wang Dingfang on the shoulder.
Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Wang Dingfang felt his blood boil.
"If Your Majesty issues an edict, I will die ten thousand times without regret."
Wang Dingfang bowed deeply.
After learning that Qin Yu had saved Li Dingbang, he had already decided to repay Qin Yu with his life.
Seeing his solemn expression, Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, Wang Ding gave a brief self-introduction.
This man was indeed a fierce general. Before Li Dingbang created the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, Wang Dingfang had already followed him in battles everywhere.
Later, Wang Dingfang was transferred to the border garrison, where he achieved the astonishing feat of leading a hundred cavalrymen to defeat the Xiongnu Chanyu's guard.
However, Li Dingbang was later framed and imprisoned, and Wang Dingfang was also persecuted.
He simply left the army and chose to wander the world.
It wasn't until he heard that Li Dingbang was in critical condition that Wang Dingfang came to the capital, hoping to find an opportunity to rescue Li Dingbang from the prison.
"Dingfang, you've suffered so much these past years!"
Li Dingbang sighed.
Since he was framed, many of his former followers have turned their backs on him.
People like Wang Dingfang are becoming increasingly rare.
"General Li, I am not suffering, I only regret that I did not rescue you sooner!"
Wang Dingfang quickly shook his head.
Li Dingbang stroked his beard and smiled.
"You were right not to come and save me. That old scoundrel Sima and his gang were waiting for someone to come and save me so they could kill me openly and legitimately."
