The people guarding the prison were also a little tired, but they did not dare to neglect.
They sat in front of the wooden table, eating peanuts and chatting, but their eyes glanced around defensively.
At this moment, all the light in the prison was extinguished, and the surrounding area fell into complete darkness.
The guard who was still leisurely in the prison suddenly became nervous.
"Someone breaks into the prison, please be careful."
In the darkness, someone shouted, and soon after, the sounds of swords being drawn were heard one after another.
In that cold and dark cell, Anguo Gong Zhu Yuanshan sat quietly on the stone bed, closed his eyes and rested, and turned a deaf ear to everything that happened outside the cell.
At this moment, the iron door of the cell rang, and he felt someone standing in front of him.
Zhu Yuanshan opened his eyes slightly and saw that the person in front of him was covering his face and looking at him with a pair of smiling eyes.
"My lord, I have come to rescue you on orders from my superiors."
After that, he raised his knife and cut off the iron chains that imprisoned his hands and feet. With a bang, Zhu Yuanshan was taken out of the cell by the men in black.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly. When Zhu Yuanshan was rescued from the cell, the lights in the sky prison turned on again, but the door of the cell containing Zhu Yuanshan was now open, and there was no longer any shadow of Zhu Yuanshan inside.
The guard responsible for guarding the prison began to exclaim, "Someone has robbed the prison. Please inform the commander immediately."
Outside the palace wall, two black figures were getting further and further away from the palace gate.
"Your Majesty, it's safe here."
After about a hundred miles from the city gate of the capital, the man in black led Zhu Yuanshan to a stop.
Although Zhu Yuanshan was a fierce warrior in the battlefield when he was young, he was already an old man in his sixties after all. After running for such a long distance, he was obviously out of breath.
After finally regaining his composure, he looked at the man in black in front of him and said, "Your Excellency, are you sent by the Crown Princess?"
The man in black, with his back to him, slightly curled his lips under the veil, then turned around and pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a face that was familiar to An Guogong.
"General Gu?"
Zhu Yuanshan was a little surprised. The person in front of him had met him once a few years ago. He was now Gu Li, the commander of the Ouchi guards, and he was also the person responsible for guarding the Ouchi prison.
Why hasn't he heard that Gu Li is the Queen's wife?
Zhu Yuanshan's surprised eyes flashed with a hint of defensiveness and doubt, but he saw that Gu Li seemed to have read his thoughts and said:
"My lord, not everyone who is around the Queen Dowager needs to be known to you."
He smiled deeply, and suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and he continued: "The Queen Dowager never likes people to hold her back and affect her, so the Duke of Guo should know why I came here, right?"
After all, he was a veteran on the battlefield. Zhu Yuanshan couldn't understand the meaning of Gu Li's words. At that moment, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and there was an unnoticeable panic.
But at this moment, she pretended to look at him calmly and said, "Are you here to kill me on behalf of that old witch, the Dowager Princess?"
A low laugh came from Gu Li's mouth. He did not deny it and nodded to him, "Since the Duke understands, I won't explain more."
After saying that, he raised the knife and dropped it on the top of Zhu Yuanshan's head.
This time, Zhu Yuanshan knew that he could not escape, but he regretted it at this moment. The people guarding the prison were also a little tired, but they did not dare to neglect.
They sat in front of the wooden table, eating peanuts and chatting, but their eyes glanced around defensively.
