Looking at the officer approaching her, she exerted a little force with her hand, and with a click, she pulled up the wooden pillar behind her.
Her hands were tied behind a wooden pillar, but she had no intention of pulling the rope free. She just turned her body, and the wooden pillar behind her began to rotate, beating the approaching officials to a pulp.
Shen San also grabbed a weapon from an officer and started fighting with them.
The prefect stared at the scene with wide eyes in disbelief, and his steps back unconsciously became faster.
He looked around and suddenly found a group of people from the Cui family watching the fun nearby. He was about to ask his confidant to capture the hostages.
Lu Yunxi spoke first, blocking his idea of using the Cui family to force them to stop: "Humph! We are disciples of a large sect, and you actually ignored our explanation and insisted on locking us up, and even insisted that we are Cui family members. I think you just want to kill people and steal treasures! Then don't blame us for reporting to the commander and asking someone to come and seek justice."
The prefect was instantly frightened by their words.
So this person is actually a disciple from a big sect?!
The prefect and the officials were blocked by Lu Yunxi, so they naturally didn't notice that not far away, many onlookers were looking over here curiously.
Lu Yunxi and Shen Sanda shouted and retreated while fighting.
The officers did not dare to make things difficult for them. They shouted with great vigor, but in fact they hardly used any strength when they took action and quickly let them go.
Watching them leave, the trusted official said worriedly, "Sir, what should we do? Sects and the government have always kept their distance. If we really mess with someone from a major sect, even the Emperor might not be able to protect us!"
The prefect was also very scared, but he didn't dare show it on his face. He said stubbornly, "What are you afraid of?! The worst that can happen is..."
He suddenly saw the Cui family and his eyes turned, "At worst, we can just put the blame on the Cui family. They were going to die anyway, so one more charge won't matter."
On the other side, Lu Yunxi and Shen San did not go far.
In fact, the two of them leaving first was a strategy formulated together with the Cui family.
Cui Da's letter should have reached the capital, and someone would be sent over soon. By then, the Cui family would be released, but it wouldn't be that easy for Lu Yunxi and his apprentice to leave the prison, so they took this opportunity to get out quickly.
In fact, Cui Da’s prediction was exactly right.
Almost on the second day after they escaped, the imperial envoy sent from the capital arrived at the Wuzhou government office.
The emperor was furious that the prefect of Wuzhou was replaced by someone else. The officials sent this time were all high-ranking confidants and were all very capable.
They brought a large group of officers and soldiers and rushed into the government office without saying a word.
Because they had just fought a fierce battle with Lu Yunxi yesterday, the prefect and his officers were exhausted and didn't come to work at all. They were all resting at home. Therefore, they had no idea what had happened and were already under control.
