Chapter 153 The Scream of a Pig Being Slaughtered...
A short while later, Qu Lu found them and relayed His Highness's words to them. Then she asked them, "How is it? Has there been any movement inside since I left?"
"Nothing at the moment," a masked guard replied.
No sooner had she finished speaking than a series of bloodcurdling screams, like pigs being slaughtered, were heard from inside. As the guards hesitated about whether to rush in, Qu Lu made the first move.
Her agile body moved as lightly as a swallow. In just a moment, she used her lightness skill to draw a whip from her waist and walk to the entrance of the dungeon.
Upon seeing this, the hidden guards tensed up instantly and rushed out, following behind Qu Lu.
Just when the guards thought a great battle was about to begin, they found that there were hardly any guards inside the dungeon when they entered it.
The group cautiously observed their surroundings. The dungeon was rather narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through, but there was no one inside. They were filled with confusion.
In that short moment, they suddenly heard a painful wail. Before they could even exchange glances, they hurriedly followed the sound.
They entered the dungeon without any hindrance. It housed many prisoners, and each cell was only big enough for them to lie down and sleep.
These disheveled prisoners saw a fully armed man dressed in black night clothes, wearing a mask, and holding a dagger.
The prisoners quickly poked their hands and heads out one by one.
He reached out with both hands in mid-air, trying to grab the guards so they would release them.
Qu Lu and the others walked past the shouting people without looking to the side.
Finally, they followed the sound to the center of the dungeon.
There were wooden tables and chairs there.
The center of the dungeon was much more spacious than the narrow entrance passage.
However, when they arrived at the central government, they saw a scene that was different from what they had imagined.
The scene of Ye Yuwu being tortured, which was imagined, did not happen. At this moment, Ye Yuwu and a group of people were sitting around a wooden table with some messy playing cards on it.
Ye Yuwu made a strange gesture with one hand, placing it on the forehead of a prison guard who had his eyes tightly closed and looked extremely frightened.
Just as Qu Lu and the others arrived, they saw Ye Yuwu flick her finger and strike the jailer's forehead. The already red forehead turned even redder, accompanied by a shrill pig-like scream.
The sound was sharp, like a woman's scream. Qu Lu and the guards were stunned and stood there, watching the scene unfold.
If they weren't wearing heavy masks, they would have loved to wipe their eyes.
No wonder there were no jailers guarding the gate; they've all come here to play games and cards!
Wouldn't this be considered dereliction of duty?!
Moreover, they could even smell blood here, but judging from their appearance, no one was injured, not even Ye Yuwu. She looked perfectly fine, lively and energetic.
If that's the case, why is there such a strong smell of blood, even stronger than the smell of blood outside the dungeon?
They quickly realized why, because they saw a pool of red blood not far from them, and it must have been the red blood that caused the smell of blood.
Next to the snow was a stove, the fire of which had been extinguished. It was probably a makeshift stove that the jailers used to heat up food for late-night snacks.
At this point, you can see a plate of roast chicken on their table. Half of the roast chicken has been eaten, and the remaining half is neatly arranged between the plates.
Qu Lu was annoyed that she had been so concerned that she hadn’t realized the bloody smell came from chicken blood!
Not only Qu Lu, but also the bodyguard next to her instantly understood what was going on.
However, their feelings were completely different from Qu Lu's.
Instead, I felt relieved.
That's great! Manager Ye is alright! Cha Yun He's 88VIP membership is saved!
However, the commotion caused by Qu Lu and the others caught the attention of several people in the center of the dungeon.
Everyone looked in the direction of the figures and saw several people dressed in black night clothes, wearing masks of ferocious beasts, and most importantly, they were carrying weapons.
The group immediately understood what was going on.
Even Ye Yuwu stopped what she was doing.
These guys look so much like assassins!
Before Ye Yuwu could come to her senses, she heard a "bang" in her ear and turned to look to the side.
The prison guards who were sitting on the chairs playing cards suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud. The speed of their actions left Ye Yuwu speechless, making her wonder if their knees didn't hurt.
"Gentlemen, spare our lives! Are you here to break us out of prison? Whom do you intend to rescue? You took him away, and we didn't see anything. We have elderly parents and young children to support, and we really don't want to run into you."
The prison guards were already trembling with fear. After saying this, they covered their eyes, trying to deceive themselves and pretend they hadn't seen them.
Even Ye Yuwu couldn't help but admire this approach.
Their cowardly and self-serving behavior was so pathetic that even when choosing a path, one couldn't help but mentally complain that they were hopeless.
However, what they didn't know was that these prison guards were not regular prison guards.
You should know that being a guard's foot in the prison is an extremely lucrative job, and these people only got this job through connections.
When he had nothing to do on weekdays, he would stroll around the prison cell, but he had never encountered anyone who dared to openly break into the prison.
Moreover, Qu Lu and her group looked incredibly powerful, so why would they be willing to risk their lives?
Just as Lu was pondering whether to take the opportunity to rescue Ye Yuwu, she suddenly heard a commotion at the door.
Qu Lu sensed something was wrong, so she stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yuwu's wrist, saying to her in a deliberately disguised low voice, "Quick, come with me!"
Before Ye Yuwu could even realize what these people were there for, she was pulled away a short distance away.
Just then, an arrow whistled past them from behind, the sound of the arrow cutting through the wind piercing right through Qu Lu's ear.
Even though Qu Lu's sensitive ears had already heard the sound of the arrow cutting through the wind.
Even though Qu Lu reacted extremely quickly, the arrow still accidentally grazed his cheek.
The heavy mask on her face was shot off and fell to the ground, leaving a bloody mark on her fair cheek.
"Qu Lu?!" Ye Yuwu, who was standing not far away, naturally saw the face after the mask fell off and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Upon hearing Ye Yuwu's surprised voice, Qu Lu couldn't help but purse her lips, but her mind was in complete turmoil.
But at this moment, there was no time for her to feel conflicted or annoyed, as a series of synchronized footsteps suddenly came from behind her.
