Handan Prison.
Zhao Sheng, the Lord of Pingyuan, rushed over with his soldiers and immediately saw the two jailer corpses in the prison.
" Don't come over…Don't kill us…"
Concubine Zhao and Qin Mu looked at Zhao Sheng and the rest with 'terror' on their faces. They curled up in the corner of the wall, their bodies shivering.
A soldier came forward to examine the two corpses, picked up a sword, and handed it to Lord Pingyuan.
"Milord, these two are already dead.”
Zhao Sheng took the sword, and his expression changed slightly. This was a sword from the Kingdom of Qi!
"Why did two Qi people enter Handan Prison?”Zhao Sheng asked the warden behind him.
The warden hurriedly knelt down and said,"Sir, I don't know either."”
"Trash!" Zhao Sheng kicked away the prison token and came in front of the two corpses. He examined them and had a strange expression on his face. He couldn't help but look at Qin Mu and the other two who were looking at him with a face full of 'fear'.
"How did these two die?!" Zhao Sheng said coldly.
" We…We don't know either." Zhao Ji's face was pale." They…They started killing each other after they came in…"
Then, she pointed at Zhao Sheng and said angrily,"Zhao Sheng, you promised my husband that you wouldn't touch us, and now you're sending people to assassinate us. What are your intentions?”
"Killing a hostage, your country of Zhao is really sinister and vicious. If our mother and son die, the country of Qin will definitely not let your country of Zhao off!”
Zhao Ji screamed hysterically, her eyes filled with hatred.
Zhao Sheng looked at Qin Mu and the other two suspiciously. When he saw that the fear and anger on their faces didn't seem fake, he became even more puzzled.
He had just checked and realized that the two corpses were actually two martial artists. At first, he suspected that it was done by Qin Mu and the other two, but when he thought about it, it was just a woman and two children. How could they have killed two martial artists?
"Could it be that it's really as she said, these two Qi Ren cultivators killing each other?”Zhao Sheng's brows were tightly knitted. However, judging from the way these two people died, it didn't seem like they had killed each other.
It was a little like being instantly killed by a martial arts expert!
"Could it be!"
Zhao Sheng seemed to have thought of something and immediately said to his subordinates,"Search Handan Prison to see if there are any hidden people!”
"Yes!"
Then, the soldiers began to investigate Handan Prison.
After a while, the soldier ran over." Sir, we didn't find anyone else."”
"No one?" Zhao Sheng was stunned. This was strange. Handan Prison only had one exit, and it was heavily guarded. Even warriors couldn't escape.
"Looks like they really killed each other. Fortunately, if something happened to Ying Zichu's wife and children, my Zhao country would probably be unable to explain to the Qin country.”
Zhao Sheng heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand."Carry these two corpses out."
"Yes!"
After the corpse was carried out, Zhao Sheng cupped his hands at Lady Zhao and said,""This time, it was my Zhao Country's carelessness that allowed two Qi Country assassins to take advantage of the situation.”
"Humph!" " Hmph!" Zhao Ji snorted coldly and did not say anything else.
Zhao Sheng was not angry. He did not want to argue with a woman.
"When will you let us out?" Zhao Ji said coldly.
"If Furen wants to leave, you can do so at any time, but you cannot leave Handan City.”Zhao Sheng smiled faintly.
"You mean we can leave?”
Zhao Ji was delighted.
"Of course!"
Zhao Sheng smiled and made an inviting gesture.
Mu 'er, Zheng' er, let's go out!" Lady Zhao hurriedly held Qin Mu and Little Ying Zheng's hands and left.
When Zhao Sheng saw Qin Mu and the other two leave, he waved at his subordinates and said,""Send someone to follow them. Report to me immediately if there's any unusual movement!”
"Yes!"
Outside Handan Prison.
Lady Zhao looked at Handan Prison and said excitedly to Qin Mu and Little Ying Zheng,""Mu 'er, Zheng' er, we're free!”
"Yes, we are free." Qin Mu forced a smile. He understood that this so-called freedom was just another form of surveillance.
They would be monitored by the State of Zhao.
Concubine Zhao did not think too much about it. She only thought that leaving Handan Prison was equivalent to freedom. Her dusty face was filled with a bright smile.
"Madam!"
At this moment, Shen Yue brought Dong 'er over from afar.
"Madam, are you all right?" Shen Yue hurriedly said.
Qin Mu shook his head." Teacher, there's no need to worry. We're fine."”
"Ah Mu!" Dong 'er's eyes were red, and she stretched out her hands to hug Qin Mu. She was a head taller than Qin Mu, and Qin Mu's entire face was pressed against a soft area.
Qin Mu hurriedly pushed Dong 'er away and coughed.""Dong 'er, you don't have to reward me like this the moment we meet.”
Dong 'er was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have understood something and lowered her head. Her small face immediately turned red like a red apple, wishing she could find a crack to hide in.
Thump!
"Aiyo, Mother, why did you hit me?”Qin Mu hugged his head and said aggrievedly.
Zhao Ji raised her fist and scolded jokingly,"You little brat, how dare you bully your sister Dong 'er.”
" Of course not, I..." Before Qin Mu could finish his words, his eyes closed and his body fell down.
Shen Yue's hands and eyes were swift as he caught Qin Mu.
"Mu 'er!"
The faces of Lady Zhao, Dong 'er, and Little Ying Zheng changed drastically.
"Furen need not worry. Mu 'er is just too tired and has fallen asleep.”Shen Yue explained.
"It's good that you're fine." Lady Zhao let out a sigh of relief and took Qin Mu from Shen Yue's hands.
Looking at Qin Mu's tired and pale face, Lady Zhao's nose turned sour and she said in a low voice," Although Mu 'er is my son, he has been taking care of me and Zheng' er these past few days…"
"He has a hard life."
Shen Yue sighed and said," Mu 'er is a strong-willed child."
"Let's go, Furen, Zheng 'er, let's go home.”
"Yes! Let's bring Mu 'er home!"
The five of them left Handan Prison and walked towards the small courtyard they had stayed in previously.
The sun slowly set, and a ray of afterglow shot over from the horizon. It shone on Qin Mu and the others, stretching their shadows very long.
Gradually, they disappeared into the horizon with the setting sun.
