Shift change ti.
Jiang Feng left Zhenbei Prison.
Xiao Ran had just finished taking care of Han Dong and ran into Jiang Feng at the prison gate.
The two of them locked eyes.
Xiao Ran’s hostility towards Jiang Feng was intense, not just because Jiang Feng had refused to save Han Dong before, but also because Han Dong had repeatedly defended Jiang Feng. It seed that Jiang Feng’s usual compliance was no longer effective.
"Xiao Jiang, I got your aunt to buy a few pounds of tofu. We’ll have pickled vegetables and tofu for dinner, and drink a little wine together."
Uncle Huo was also changing shifts at this ti, and he waved at Jiang Feng from afar as he ca out of the prison.
Xiao Ran looked at Jiang Feng, then at Uncle Huo.
Jiang Feng frowned.
Feeling sothing was wrong.
"Thump!"
Xiao Ran kicked a stone on the ground, sending it flying towards Uncle Huo’s forehead.
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
Uncle Huo couldn’t dodge it.
The stone hit him squarely on the forehead, imdiately causing his head to bleed as he crouched on the ground, holding his head.
Jiang Feng’s expression turned ugly.
Xiao Ran was clearly targeting him, taking his anger out on Uncle Huo.
"Which fool..."
Uncle Huo cursed, then turned and saw it was Xiao Ran on horseback, staring at him, and swallowed all the words back down.
"Humph!"
Xiao Ran snorted coldly and rode off into the distance.
"Uncle Huo, let help you find the prison doctor."
Jiang Feng helped Uncle Huo back to Zhenbei Prison.
"What did I do to provoke him? Ah, it’s like I’ve had a lifeti of bad luck. I’ll drink less later."
Uncle Huo moaned.
Under the old prison doctor’s care, Uncle Huo’s head was bandaged, and Jiang Feng took him back to Willow Alley. Eventually, Uncle Huo didn’t get to drink, and Jiang Feng got him a few days off to rest at ho.
Afterward, Jiang Feng returned to his own ho.
His Primordial Power trembled uncontrollably.
"Xiao Ran, don’t provoke ."
Jiang Feng’s expression was gloomy.
Xiao Ran dared to act against Uncle Huo in front of him. In the future, he might collude with the Second Prince to eliminate him. It seed necessary to find a way to resolve this.
An hour later.
"Where is Jiang Feng?"
Soone rode into Willow Alley, calling out at Jiang Feng’s courtyard gate.
Jiang Feng went into the courtyard and saw the person calling was a Palace Soldier from Prince Zhennan’s Mansion.
What else did Xiao Ran want?
"The Little Prince has ordered you to assist Director Han in capturing the escaped criminal. If Director Han fails, you will be held accountable!"
After speaking, the man rode off.
Jiang Feng’s face darkened.
Xiao Ran actually sent palace soldiers to his ho to give orders. What did this an? If news spread to the Second Prince, they’d think he was far more capable than he actually was.
"You’re pushing ."
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but clench his fists.
Then he hurried off to Zhenbei Prison.
At this mont, at the gate of Zhenbei Prison, the Prison Army was assembled, with Han Dong and Bao Longwei present.
After the successful prison break at Zhenbei Prison, although it was the work of an Innate Powerhouse, it still tarnished the Royal Family’s reputation. After Bao Longwei reported to the Emperor in the Imperial City, the Emperor, while not blaming Han Dong, ordered him and Bao Longwei to recapture the escaped prisoner tonight.
Clearly, if they failed, there would be a series of troubles.
After receiving the news, Xiao Ran not only rushed over but also brought soldiers from Prince Zhennan’s Mansion to assist Han Dong and Bao Longwei in capturing the escapee. To win Han Dong’s favor, Xiao Ran tried every trick in the book.
"According to intelligence provided by the Dragon Capital Governnt Office, the prisoner who escaped is currently on Black Iron Mountain. Tonight, no matter what thods you use, you must bring that person back. Don’t worry about the Innate Powerhouse’s thods; we have experts sent by the Holy Emperor assisting, and with myself and Director Han present, even if he had three heads and six arms, he wouldn’t escape!"
Bao Longwei spoke decisively.
"Don’t worry, my lord, we won’t fail."
Chu Tianhe took the lead and said.
"Don’t worry, my lord, we won’t fail!"
The Prison Army responded in unison.
"Good, follow to set off."
With an order from Bao Longwei, a large number of troops set off under his command towards Black Iron Mountain.
Han Dong turned to Xiao Ran and said, "This is Zhenbei Prison’s matter, and it doesn’t concern your Prince Zhennan’s Mansion. Take your n back imdiately."
"Dong’Er, I just want to lend a hand."
Xiao Ran explained.
"Little Prince, Director Han is right. This is Zhenbei Prison’s matter, and bringing your soldiers isn’t appropriate."
Bao Longwei agreed.
"Commander Wu, please take the brothers back. I’ll go alone."
Xiao Ran thought for a mont and instructed his n.
"Little Prince, what if..."
Commander Wu was uneasy, knowing they were about to face a mysterious Innate Powerhouse.
"There won’t be an ’if.’ With Lord Bao and experts assigned by the Holy Emperor here, I’ll be fine. Go back."
Xiao Ran interrupted.
"Yes!"
Commander Wu imdiately took his n back to Prince Zhennan’s Mansion.
"Dong’Er, I’ll go with you as a private citizen."
Xiao Ran quickly caught up with Han Dong.
Then he looked around, trying to find Jiang Feng, but didn’t see anything.
After the troops left.
Jiang Feng appeared in the corner.
Watching the departing group.
Jiang Feng muttered to himself, "The Emperor sent experts to assist Sister Dong, suggesting he’s inclined to let her off. Unfortunately, the rebel faction’s issues entangle too many, and soone is manipulating things behind the scenes, forcing the Emperor to order Sister Dong and Bao Longwei to capture the escapee tonight."
"If they fail, Sister Dong and Bao Longwei will definitely face trouble."
"Who exactly is this Innate Powerhouse, daring to challenge the Imperial Authority and brazenly enter Zhenbei Prison to break soone out?"
"The expert beside Bao Longwei from the Imperial City, with an aura so subtle it feels nonexistent; could he also be an Innate Powerhouse?"
