The man opposite pouted and shook his head.
"It's hard to say, but I heard that if you work hard, you might be able to come back alive in a few years. If you don't work hard, you might even be beaten to death."
Hearing this, Leng Yu took a deep breath with his eyes locked, and the two men in the other cell began to sigh and complain about each other.
Leng Yu returned to the bed and sat down. He looked at Luo Lan, who was filled with worry, with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Lan'er. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I must go to this mysterious mine. The only thing I'm worried about right now is you."
Luo Lan knew that there must be a reason for what he wanted to do, and this mysterious mine was the key to everything in Yilan County, so she couldn't stop him.
So, she pretended to be relaxed and smiled at him.
"Don't worry, my husband. They won't let Ah Cai and I live here for free. Yilan County has connections everywhere. If there's a place for a young and strong man like you, there will naturally be a place for a beautiful woman like me."
Seeing that she was still joking and joking at this time, Leng Yu held her hand distressedly.
"If I didn't know you had a mysterious operating room to hide in, I would never have abandoned you. Lan'er, promise me that no matter what, you will ensure your own safety. If you get a chance, tell Ayu and the others not to act rashly. I will find a way to contact them. Now that things have come to this, we must not alert them."
Luo Lan nodded seriously, and she took out a bottle of red cream from her pocket and put it in his hand.
"Husband, if you get hurt somewhere, apply this and it will help. And you have to promise me that you will take care of yourself."
At this moment, the two of them suddenly had a feeling of separation between life and death, and this feeling made Luo Lan feel very empty in his heart.
Leng Yu put the red cream she handed him into his pocket, raised his hand and gently lifted the hair on her forehead, nodded reluctantly,
"After we have thoroughly investigated the situation in Yilan County, my husband will take you on a tour of the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daning Kingdom."
His words made Luo Lan's eyes wet.
She tried hard not to let her tears fall and forced a smile.
At this moment, the cell door was opened, and several officers holding big knives walked in, escorting a thin man.
Leng Yu's brows tightened at this moment, and he whispered:
"Acai, take good care of the lady."
Ever since entering the Sky Prison, Ah Cai has never dared to relax for a moment. Now, seeing these ferocious-looking officers, her heart is in her throat.
In order to reassure the emperor, she nodded solemnly.
"Master, don't worry. Ah Cai will protect Madam even if it means sacrificing her own life."
Leng Yu shook Luo Lan's hand firmly, then turned to look at the thin man.
He glanced at these cells one by one, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, these guys are pretty good this time, take them away!"
"Yes, Lord Wang."
It turned out that this thin man with shrewd eyes was none other than Wang Chao, the feared lawyer in Yilan County... Boss Wang.
Luo Lan stepped forward alertly and grabbed Leng Yu's clothes, repeatedly instructing her,
"My husband, be careful."
Leng Yu turned around and looked at her, nodding heavily.
"Don't worry, my lady. No one in this world can hurt my husband. You must be careful. If you have to, remember to hide in a secret place. My husband will not allow anything to happen to you."
Luo Lan only had time to nod to him before the door of their cell was opened and two officers walked in with swords in hand.
"Let's go!"
Leng Yu didn't ask any more questions. He just glanced at Boss Wang, then put one hand behind his back and walked out of the cell.
Luo Lan came to the fence and looked at him worriedly.
"Husband..."
He turned back with red eyes, gave her a reluctant smile, and was taken away by the officers along with three other people.
The cell door was closed again. Luo Lan weakly sat back on the wooden bed. A Cai looked at her distressedly.
"What if the emperor is in danger? Or should we return to the capital to mobilize troops?"
Luo Lan just shook his head.
"No, if we mobilize troops now, we can apprehend the perpetrators of the crime in Yilan County, but the mastermind behind the incident will surely remain at large, and our entire trip would be meaningless."
"Then...will the emperor be in danger?"
"No, he is so skilled in martial arts that even a hundred or so people can't get close to him. Besides, he is the True Dragon Emperor. No one can hurt him."
Her words were both a comfort to Acai and a consolation to herself.
At this moment, the cell door was opened again. Ah Cai looked towards the door alertly and whispered:
"My lady, be careful."
Luo Lan, however, shook his head and chuckled nonchalantly.
"When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There's nothing to worry about. Ah Cai, follow the emperor's instructions and don't act rashly."
"yes……"
After Ah Cai retracted the gesture she had just made, two officers walked in. They opened the cell door, and one of them brandished the broadsword in his hand and ordered:
"Come out quickly and I'll take you to a good place."
Ah Cai asked angrily,
"Where are you taking us?"
"The food and drinks there are good. You'll see when you get there. It's definitely better than this prison."
Ah Cai wanted to ask a few more questions, but Luo Lan stood up and stopped her.
"Acai, these two officials are right. No matter where we go, it's better than this prison."
After saying that, she walked straight to the cell door. One of the officers was about to step forward to escort her, but she raised her hand to stop him.
