Yin Rou and Yang Gang naturally thought that the other party wanted to beg for mercy when they saw Chen Mo talking to them.
After all, they were very arrogant before, but in a flash they became prisoners. This transformation is too fast and something they cannot accept.
They also enjoy seeing Chen Mo and the other two kneeling down and apologizing to them.
However, to let them go free is simply out of the question. Not to mention that the upper echelons urgently need martial artists, their newly-assumed position does not afford them any room for error.
After all, they have only recently been promoted. If they cause a mess at this time, who knows what punishment they will face.
"Not not not, begging for mercy is unnecessary, I just want to ask a question"
Chen Mo said with a smile.
Hearing this, the two exchanged glances, obviously surprised by Chen Mo's words. They didn't see the other party wailing and pleading for mercy as expected. They were clearly unhappy but still listened patiently.
"Speak."
"Who was that person shouting just now? What did they do to deserve such a harsh punishment?"
Chen Mo directly went to the point.
"You mean him? Ah, that guy is named Miao Feiyu. He was previously under my judgment, but he betrayed it and was caught and brought back."
"Where did they bring him back? I heard he voluntarily surrendered himself to fight against the third master, but he couldn't beat him. That's why he was arrested."
"That guy is that brave, I heard he is just a fourth-grade mage."
"I heard some rumors that there's a grudge between him and the third master over a woman. How could he not fight to the death?"
"Hey, he's really a headstrong kid. He even fought the third master over a woman, what a fool! He doesn't even know how he got in here in the first place."
…
Chen Mo's words opened the floodgates for Yin Rou and Yang Gang, and they went on and on in detail. From their chatter, he gleaned some of the information he was looking for.
"Two, the only one caught and brought in is Miao Feiyu. Are there no other accomplices?"
Chen Mo grabbed the fence with both hands and continued to ask questions.
"That's naturally not the case."
"However, I heard that when he was caught, there was quite a commotion."
"It was his accomplices causing the trouble, twice coming to rescue people. The third master couldn't beat them, thankfully the first master intervened. Otherwise, our Ta Yanshan might have been destroyed by them."
"You mentioned this and it brought back a memory. Was it that big guy? He's incredibly strong. He broke through our martial arts formation of the judgment. Now when I think about it, I'm still scared. If his big sword had struck again, the village might have been gone, and we few guards in the village would have been in danger too."
"Thankfully, thankfully, we have been promoted and don't have to guard that evil place anymore. It's much safer now."
…
"That means Zhao's brother and sister are safe..."
Chen Mo rubbed his chin, thinking deeply for a moment. Just as he was thinking, he heard the hysterical roar of Miao Feiyu coming from deeper within the prison.
Yin Rou and Yang Gang were a bit nervous as they listened, afraid something might go wrong. They rushed in right away.
"Sage, the person you want to save is in there, right?"
At this time, Zuo Quan Sheng had already guessed some clues and approached curiously to ask.
Chen Mo nodded slightly, "Only one person"
"Ah, alas, my people, I still do not know where they are..."
Zuo Quan Sheng couldn't help but sigh with a heavy breath.
"Brother Zuo, you need not worry. We'll find an opportunity to escape and explore the situation..."
As Chen Mo was speaking, he saw two jailers, one big and one small, slip in stealthily. They stopped in front of the door to their cell just as Chen Mo finished his sentence.
The atmosphere became quite awkward for a moment.
The most awkward thing in the world should be overhearing a plan to escape from prison while plotting it.
If there's anything more embarrassing than that, it would be being caught by your parents in the act of rewarding your empty soul late at night...
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, the two jailers turned their heads and looked at him. All the awkwardness disappeared in an instant.
"Qingling, Zhaohu?"
Chen Mo was taken aback for a moment, looking up and down at the newcomers. It was indeed Zhao Qingling and Zhao Hu, the two people he had lost contact with.
Chen Mo smiled gently, and directly removed his disguise mask from his face.
"Young master?"
Upon seeing Chen Mo, Zhao Qingling was overjoyed. After turning to rebuke Zhao Hu, who was equally excited, she hurried forward, "Young master, how did you end up here, and... why are you imprisoned?"
Chen Mo sighed helplessly and smiled, "I lost contact with the worms I placed on you two, worried that something bad might happen to you. So I came over personally to check it out."
Chen Mo explained the reason briefly and concisely.
After listening, Zhao Qingling helplessly smiled and said, "It's all our fault. We didn't properly watch over them. That led to Miao Feiyu being arrested. Later, I and my brother came to rescue you, but we were defeated twice by Miao Wu. The worms on our bodies were also killed in the battle, so the young master must have thought we were in trouble."
"So this is..."
Chen Mo glanced up and down at Zhao Qingling and Zhao Hu, who were both dressed in jailer's attire.
Zhao Qingling is still okay, as she looks almost like a boy when dressed in jailer's attire. However, Zhao Hu is quite distinctive because of his tall stature, making it easy for people to recognize his true identity.
"I thought that if we couldn't beat them, we'd have to resort to cleverness. So I snuck in with my brother, hoping to rescue Miao Feiyu. If we could, we wouldn't have to suffer the indignity of being beaten by Miao Wu"
After Zhao Qingling explained, she looked at Chen Mo again, "Young master, I'll rescue you right now."
As she spoke, Zhao Qingling took out a set of keys from her waist.
These are the keys she took from the unconscious jailers.
Although Zhao Hu or Zhao Qingling could easily break open the cell door with their strength, to avoid waking anyone else, using the keys to open the door was the quietest and least likely to attract attention.
However, just as Zhao Qingling was giving Chen Mo the door to open, two figures suddenly stopped in their tracks from deeper inside the prison.
Yin Rou and Yang Gang had just scolded the raging Miao Feiyu and were relieved that their work would be completed successfully. As soon as they stepped out, they saw someone opening the door for their newly-captured criminal.
Looking at each other, Yin Rou and Yang Gang did not recognize Zhao Qingling, but Zhao Hu behind her was all too familiar to them.
"Damn"
The two exclaimed in shock simultaneously, almost subconsciously calling out. Their military merits were about to be released?
On the first day of work, they've already caused a big mess.
"Stop"
Yin Rou almost shouted subconsciously, wanting to scold Zhao Qingling. However, instead of stopping her, she actually angered Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu stepped forward and struck Yin Rou's face with a palm, causing blood mist to spray across the ground. Several of her teeth were broken, and she fell unconscious to the ground.
Meanwhile, Yang Gang was still in disarray, looking up at Zhao Hu's gaze that seemed to eat people alive.
"Big brother, beat him, but you won't be able to hit me, right?"
Yang Gang cupped his cheek with both hands, his eyes filled with fear, afraid that he might suffer the same fate as Yin Rou.
"You can rest assured, I won't say a word to anyone. I'll keep it a secret."
Yang Gang immediately raised three fingers, "I can swear to it. To be honest, I've been looking down on our leader and third leader for a long time. They're nothing but dogs relying on their owners' power. If you don't mind, I can join your cause..."
Before Yang Gang could finish speaking, a series of footsteps echoed down the corridor, and two figures stood not far away, staring at him intently.
The people who had come were indeed the leader and third leader he had always disliked...
