Bao Langjun could not wait for the emperor's order for a long time, knowing that if this situation continued, the lives of those in the dark building captured by Wu, Chu and Zhao would be in danger.

Snow was falling heavily on Pingcheng, and an exquisite carriage left the city gate and ran straight to the official road of South Road.

"Husband! Where should we go first?"

Luo Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the carriage, saw that Bo Langjun kept his eyes closed and remained silent, so she asked.

"Zhao! Although King Zhao has formed an alliance with Wu, he is timid by nature and will not embarrass us."

Bao Langjun slowly opened his eyes.

Luo Jiaojiao had a good impression of King Zhao! When she and Bao Langjun went to Zhao State last time, King Zhao had always treated them with great courtesy. Therefore, she felt that Bo Langjun's words made sense.

A grand palace banquet was being held in the palace of Zhao State.

King Zhao's youngest son was one month old, and the princes and nobles sent congratulatory gifts one after another.

The Queen Mother held a banquet to thank everyone. The banquet was filled with singing and dancing, and people drank and drank. It was a lively banquet.

King Zhao teased the little prince in the arms of the queen next to him with a festive look on his face.

At this time, the steward of the inner court quietly came over and whispered in King Zhao's ear.

"How come Uncle Guo came by such a coincidence?"

When the King of Zhao heard that Bo Langjun and his wife had come to the Kingdom of Zhao, he was surprised. He put down his wine glass, got up and went to greet them in person.

Bao Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao were walking on the corridor of the Zhao Palace. They heard the sound of drums in the distance and knew that a banquet was being held in the Zhao Palace.

"It's a blessing that my uncle and his wife deigned to come to our country!"

King Zhao met with Mr. and Mrs. Bo.

"Bo's sudden appearance is really abrupt. Your Majesty, please don't be offended!"

Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao returned the courtesy.

"How could it be? My uncle and his wife came at just the right time! It's a full moon. How about inviting you two to the living room for a banquet?"

King Wu warmly invited him with his face glowing red.

Bao Langjun didn't like to attend such palace banquets, but he had to go along with it because of King Zhao's kindness.

As soon as King Zhao and his wife Bao Langjun entered the banquet hall, the steward of the inner court immediately said loudly:

"Uncle Guo and his wife are here to congratulate us!"

The royal nobles sitting at the banquet were surprised and saluted Bo Langjun and his wife.

After Bo Langjun sat down, he ordered Jiang Yu behind him to prepare another generous gift for the queen and the little prince as a full moon gift.

Feng Yue bought a generous gift according to Bo Langjun's wishes.

The chief steward of the inner court showed Mr. Bo Langjun’s gift list to King Zhao for review.

After seeing it, King Zhao and Queen felt that the gift was too heavy. They were so surprised that they toasted to Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao together.

Bo Langjun and his wife took up their wine glasses and had a drink with Wang Zhao and his wife.

After the banquet, Bao Langjun and his wife were arranged in the Yingbin Pavilion, which is the best place for entertaining guests in the palace.

After Bo Langjun and his wife took a shower and changed clothes, King Zhao and his wife came to thank them.

After everyone bowed to each other, the host and guest sat down to talk.

Bao Langjun directly stated his intention, and King Zhao knew what he meant and remained silent.

If he releases the captured people in the dark building, he will break his alliance with Wu.

"Bo has asked the emperor to pardon these businessmen! I hope the king will not do anything arbitrarily!"

Bao Langjun also knew that asking King Zhao to release the people in the secret building immediately would be too difficult, so he just asked him not to kill the people in advance.

"Since I have asked for the decree and come to inform the king, I will do it according to your wishes! I will release you immediately as soon as the decree arrives!"

King Zhao made a favor.

"So good!"

Bo Langjun nodded with satisfaction.

After King Zhao and his wife left, Bao Langjun breathed a sigh of relief. He had already asked Luan Chong to lead the hidden guards to deal with Wu's spies, so the news of his coming to Zhao had not yet reached Wu.

After resting all night, Bao Langjun felt that his fatigue was gone when he got up in the morning. After having breakfast with Luo Jiaojiao, he went to bid farewell to King Zhao.

King Zhao did not try to persuade them to stay, but only gave them some gifts in return. He did not want the news about Bo Langjun and his wife coming to Zhao to be leaked, and King Wu to accuse him unreasonably.

Bao Langjun and his wife took a carriage to Chu State.

After the carriage arrived at Chu State, Bao Langjun and his wife entered the capital using the business documents.

"Why don't we go to Chu Palace?"

When Luo Jiaojiao saw the carriage stopped in front of an inn, she asked Mr. Bo why.

"The King of Chu is not the King of Zhao! Although he cannot openly oppose me, he will never reach an agreement with us."

"What should I do?"

Luo Jiaojiao frowned and looked at Bo Langjun.

"Let's stay in the inn first and then talk about it!"

Bo Langjun stood up and got out of the carriage. Luo Jiaojiao quickly followed and got out of the carriage.

The guest rooms are still the most luxurious. Luo Jiaojiao knows now that this inn must be Bo Langjun's property without even asking.

Bo Langjun was leaning on the couch and reading a book. Luo Jiaojiao was yawning and picking up the wick in boredom.

"Madam, if you are tired, please go and rest first!"

Mr. Bo is waiting for news, so he can't go to bed early.

"Not tired!"

Luo Jiaojiao naturally understood that Bo Langjun was waiting for news about Luan Chong. She wanted to know what they were going to do next, so she gathered her energy and waited with Bo Langjun.

Luan Chong finally came! But Luo Jiaojiaoque fell asleep lying on the desk.

"I've met the master! According to reliable information, one hundred and twenty-eight people were arrested in the dark building and imprisoned in three places."

Luan Chong gave a courtesy report.

"Find out the security situation at the place of detention and the layout of the cells!"

Bao Langjun gave the order.

"yes!"

Luan Chong glanced at Luo Jiaojiao, who was sleeping soundly on the table, then bowed and left.

Bo Langjun gently woke up Luo Jiaojiao and helped her into the inner room.

At noon on the second day, Feng Yue walked into the house of Bo Langjun and his wife with a message box.

After reading the message on the silk strip in the bamboo tube, Bo Langjun asked Jiang Yu to call the innkeeper into the guest room.

The innkeeper was a young man of medium build. As soon as he entered the room, he gave Mr. Bo a gift.

"How many manpower do we have in the Chu capital?"

Bao Langjun asked directly.

"About a hundred people!"

The innkeeper replied respectfully.

"Is there any other hiding place in the city?"

Bao Langjun looked at the young innkeeper in front of him.

"There is Wushan Mountain in the south of the city. There are many caves in the mountain where people can hide."

The innkeeper lowered his head and answered cautiously.

"You go make arrangements and we'll take action tomorrow night!"

Bo Langjun handed the silk he had written on to the innkeeper.

The innkeeper opened it and took a look, feeling startled.

"What? Is there any difficulty?"

Bao Langjun raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips.

"No! I will arrange everything right now!"

How dare the innkeeper say no? He left the house of Mr. and Mrs. Bo and went downstairs with a heavy face.

"Will it embarrass him?"

Luo Jiaojiao knew that robbing a prison in the capital of Chu was not an easy task!

"Despite his young age, he has a great reputation! It is said that his strength can make half of the capital of Chu fall!"
