Cheng Yuanyuan would never have thought that Chen Jialuo, the Young Master of the Safflower Society, would become a prisoner.

Those masters had worked so hard to 'connect the dragon's head from a thousand miles away, just like the grand occasion of Jianghu, but in the blink of an eye, the dragon's head was captured. How could this be!

Even though she had thought of an excuse before she dared to meet him in the dungeon, she still felt a little flustered and helpless when she saw Chen Jialuo. She touched her sleeves and remembered that she had changed her clothes before coming here. Her heart calmed down a little.

"Why is Miss Cheng here?" Chen Jialuo looked at her and asked very calmly.

"This is the General's Residence."

Cheng Yuanyuan looked back at him and appeared very calm. "I'm actually the servant girl of General Siu Hye's daughter."

Then, she told him the sad story of how she had mistakenly entered the Jianghu and was forced to stay as a servant girl because she was embarrassingly short of money.

"I know it's wrong for me to hide my identity, but I really can't say such a shameful thing in front of heroes like you." After she finished speaking, she put her hands together and pretended to be pitiful. "Can you understand how I feel?"

Even though Chen Jialuo's hands and feet were tied with iron chains, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Cheng Yuanyuan telling him her secret and sincerely begging for forgiveness. Even the haze in his heart dissipated a lot.

"You really don't have to care so much about your identity …"

"How can that be? Although it's said that a hero's background doesn't matter, I'm still a servant of the Manchus. If my master knew, he would definitely break my legs."

She pursed her lips in grievance and blinked at him. "Chen Gongzi, will you help me keep it a secret?"

Intuitively, Chen Jialuo felt that this Miss Cheng wasn't a bad person, but listening to her speak, he felt that he had been led astray.

"Last night, the inn was attacked. How did Miss Cheng escape?

Why did she return to the General's Residence? "

After saying so much, it turned out that Chen Jialuo still suspected her.

But it made sense. He was the one who was caught, and the people from the Safflower Society were still hiding somewhere. It was only natural that she would be suspected if she showed up in public.

From the looks of it, Chen Jialuo's self-restraint and bearing were pretty good. Even though he was in prison, he still spoke so calmly and gently, as if he was very concerned about others.

"Last night, I was caught by them. I said that I was on a mission from the General's Manor. Then, I was sent back to the manor for questioning. Fortunately, Gege helped me get away with it."

Chen Jialuo nodded. "It seems that Gege is a kind person."

"Sort of."

Cheng Yuanyuan awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Chen Gongzi, don't worry, I will find a way to get you out of here."

Chen Jialuo said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out of here. Miss Cheng, you don't have to take the risk. Please help me inform the Safflower Society. They must not act rashly."

What a nerd. Cheng Yuanyuan had always put her mission first. She would not sacrifice herself for others. Besides, if the Safflower Society did not act rashly, how could she take advantage of the chaos to save someone?!

Cheng Yuanyuan was about to speak when she suddenly heard a dog barking from above. She quickly picked up the lantern and said, "I have to go!"

"Miss Cheng …" Chen Jialuo wanted to tell her to try to contact the Safflower Society, but she had already disappeared into the darkness.

…

Before noon the next day, Siu Hui called Cheng Yuanyuan to the hall for a talk. As soon as she came in, she saw Zhang Zhaozhong and Zalantai sitting on the left, and an unfamiliar person sitting on the right.

"Amar." She respectfully curtsied to Siu Hui.

Siu Hui gestured for her to sit down, and then asked reproachfully, "Last night, I heard that you let the hounds from the side yard out and even caused a ruckus in the dungeon. What happened?"

"Amar, you've wronged your daughter.

I came out because I couldn't sleep. Who knew that my brother's dog cage was not locked properly, and the animal ran out to bite me. I panicked and ran to the dungeon. "

Cheng Yuanyuan lied through her teeth, blinking her eyes and pretending to be innocent, "Your daughter didn't come out by herself. Caihuan and Caiyue beside me can testify."

After that, she turned to Zhang Zhaozhong and said, "Lord Zhang, your subordinates should have reported to you. Now that Amar is blaming me, why don't you defend me?"

Zhang Zhaozhong was woken up in the middle of the night. He was very angry when he heard that the General's dog was causing a ruckus outside the dungeon.

How important was the prisoner? He came to find Siu Hui to ask for an explanation. Now that Jianing Gege opened her mouth, it became his fault.

He was the 'Fire Hand Judge'. How could he really argue with a little girl? He immediately said, "It's this official's negligence. Gege was chased by the hounds and accidentally broke into the dungeon. Since the prisoner is fine, General Siu Hye, please don't pursue this matter."

Siu Hui naturally didn't want to scold his daughter. He only thought of it as giving face to Zhang Zhaozhong. Now that he heard what he said, he took advantage of the situation and scolded Cheng Yuanyuan with a straight face, "Jianing, don't make trouble anymore!"

"I know, Amar." Cheng Yuanyuan unhappily responded, "There are guests in the house, and you still scold me like this."

Zalantai smiled and said, "You, you still know that you don't have face. Balu is not an outsider."

Not an outsider?

Still called Ba Lu?

Cheng Yuanyuan held back her laughter and turned to look at him expressionlessly. She began to search her memory: Balu, son of General Bandi who died for his country.

He and Zalantai had trained together in the Northwest Army and could be considered brothers. He didn't meet Wuya Jianing many times. After Bandi died for his country, he was summoned to the palace as a first-class imperial bodyguard.

It turned out that he was the descendant of a loyal minister of the Great Qing and a close official of the emperor. He looked like an honest person.

She smiled and greeted Balu.

Balu quickly waved his hand to tell her not to be polite and looked at Zalantai with a smile. "I haven't seen Jianing for a few years. No wonder Fauconn, that brat …" Although it was an honor to be a servant in the palace, it couldn't be compared to the freedom of the Northwest. Balu, who had returned to his old home, felt comfortable all over. With this comfort, he became a little carried away and spoke abruptly. Only then did he realize that it was inappropriate to talk about domestic affairs in front of Zhang Zhaozhong, a Han official. Moreover, this person didn't have any friendship with them, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Zhang Zhaozhong coldly looked at Balu's expression and stood up. "This official still has matters to attend to, so I won't disturb General Siu Hye's hospitality."

Siu Hui nodded and asked him to do as he pleased.

Cheng Yuanyuan looked at his back as he waved his sleeves and left. She really wanted to follow him and slip away. Mentioning Fauconn was definitely not a good thing. Especially when she thought about what happened when she met him in the capital, she felt even more upset.

Just a moment ago, she felt that Balu looked honest and considerate, but now, she felt that he was not pleasing to the eye!

Zalantai didn't like Zhang Zhaozhong, so when he saw him leave, he didn't even look up. He only asked, "Why did you mention Fauconn for no reason?"

Last time, when Jianing entered the capital and Fauconn pulled and pulled at the Gate of Shen Wu, the news had spread.

Balu acted like he already knew the answer, but he didn't point it out. "Isn't it because he knew that the Emperor wanted me to join the General's army, so he eagerly asked me to bring a gift to Jianing." As he said this, he took out an exquisite rectangular box from his sleeve.

Fauconn also didn't say that he had to give the gift in private, so Balu felt that it was better to do it openly. Otherwise, it would be considered as giving gifts in private.

Moreover, if the Fucha family wanted to form a marriage alliance, General Siu Hye definitely wouldn't oppose it.

Cheng Yuanyuan was so angry that her face immediately turned red. Siu Hui and Zalantai both thought that she was shy, so they both mocked her.

"Amar, Big Brother …" She stamped her feet.

Siu Hui smiled. "Since it's Fauconn's kind intentions, you should accept it."

Cheng Yuanyuan bit her lip. She had no choice but to accept the gift, then she hurriedly excused herself.

When she was at the door, she heard Balu talk about the Emperor's preference for Fauconn. He also said that Fauconn was eager to go to the northwest to gain experience and was asking for the Emperor's permission. In a few days, he would be granted permission, and so on.

… …

Cheng Yuanyuan's mind was currently occupied with how to save Chen Jialuo, so she didn't have time to pay attention to Fauconn. By the time she saved him, she would have already flown far away. Who cares if he came to the northwest or not?

She locked herself in her room, still thinking of a rescue plan. Zhang Zhaozhong probably brought Chen Jialuo to the General's Estate to mislead the Safflower Society to the Xining Barracks. There were also many Siu Hui elites stationed there. Anyone who went there would be doomed.

At that time, the Safflower Society would suffer disastrous casualties. Even if they learned that Chen Jialuo was in the General's Estate, they would probably be besieged again.

This plan was so meticulous and interlinked that even the people sent by Zalantai were fooled. They were still guarding the barracks, and the Siu Hui had already agreed to cooperate fully. She had to be careful not to arouse suspicion.

Most importantly, she didn't want to bring any trouble or hidden danger to the Wuya Clan because of her mission.

After thinking it over, she thought of Li Yuanzhi.

Li Yuanzhi had always been worried about Cheng Yuanyuan's whereabouts. However, her father had cruelly grounded her and she couldn't go out.

Moreover, the Gege of the General's Estate had gone missing. The Li family was really afraid of being blamed, so they didn't dare to send people to ask.

After receiving the invitation from the General's Estate, Li Kexu's trembling heart finally settled down. Li Yuanzhi regained her freedom and immediately went straight to the General's Estate.

When the two of them met, Cheng Yuanyuan told her everything that had happened, including how Zhang Zhaozhong had besieged the Red Flower Society, and how Chen Jialuo had been captured. Li Yuanzhi gasped in admiration again and again. She was envious that Cheng Yuanyuan was able to meet a group of heroes and warriors, but she also felt sorry that Longtou was captured.

"Oh, really. I was locked up by my father for a few days and missed so much fun," Li Yuanzhi curled her lips and then asked worriedly, "Are you really going to save Chen Jialuo?

You'll be in trouble if you're discovered! "

"He's my savior. If I don't save him, I won't follow the rules of Jianghu."

After Cheng Yuanyuan finished speaking, she looked at her pleadingly. "That's why I'm asking for your help. With Li Yuanzhi's intelligence and wisdom, it shouldn't be a problem for you to save him without being discovered, right?"

Since Li Yuanzhi learned martial arts from her master, she had done a lot of daring things. After being praised by Cheng Yuanyuan, she smiled proudly. "You're really good at reading people. Then I'll help you think of a way. However, you have to introduce me to the people of Safflower Society."

Cheng Yuanyuan immediately promised, "No problem. If it works, I'll ask them to invite you to the coronation ceremony."

Going to the Safflower Society's headquarters to watch the coronation ceremony … Li Yuanzhi was suddenly filled with longing and high spirits. She was determined to save Chen Jialuo and see what this young leader looked like.

"Then it's a deal!"

She touched her chin and pondered. "According to what you said, Chen Jialuo is now locked up in the dungeon under the rockery, and the location is hidden. Even if the people of Safflower Society come, they may not be able to find him. Then, if he escapes from the dungeon without anyone knowing …"

Chen Jialuo's martial arts were excellent. As long as someone could hold Zhang Zhaozhong back, the possibility of him escaping alone was very high.

However, except for the key to the cell, his hands and feet were shackled.

Li Yuanzhi rolled her eyes. "Let's start by stealing the key."

Cheng Yuanyuan guessed that the key was with Zhang Zhaozhong, so she had to start with him …
