Princess Yalun and her entourage made their way to the dungeon. Yang Guo and Hong Qigong, disguised as guards, followed behind her, guarding against any sudden movements. Zhou Botong watched Hou Xibai, Alan, and Dada 'er.
Originally, Dawu and Xiaowu were not allowed to go together. After all, their martial arts skills were far inferior. However, Dawu and Xiaowu were eager to save their teacher and insisted on going together. Hong Qigong thought about it and agreed. After all, it was their duty to save Guo Jing. Moreover, their martial arts skills were inferior to those of top-notch masters. Compared to ordinary warriors, their martial arts were still superior.
Before long, the entourage arrived outside the dungeon. A group of guards quickly surrounded them and stopped them. Princess Yalun took a deep breath. "Tell Wuliang Hetai to come see me!"
Someone recognized her and immediately went to summon the general. Wuliang Hetai ran out with a joyful expression. He knelt on one knee and bowed. "Greetings, Princess Yalun!"
Seeing that he was still respectful to her, Princess Yalun's heart warmed. Her husband had not misjudged her. "I want to go in and see the prisoner."
Wuliang Hetai looked troubled. "But the Great Khan has decreed that no one is allowed to see him."
"It is said that this man killed my eldest brother. However, I have some doubts and need to verify it with him. I hope that the General will allow me to do so," Princess Yalun said.
Wuliang Hetai frowned. "Please forgive me, Princess Yalun. It is not that I do not want to help, but this matter is of great importance. The Great Khan has always been strict. If I disobey his orders, I am afraid …"
"I will bear all the consequences." Princess Yalun took a step forward. "My husband is dead, and now even my own brother is dead. Can't I ask the suspect?"
Wuliang Hetai instinctively reached out to block her. However, Princess Yalun continued to walk forward. Seeing that his hand was about to touch her chest, Wuliang Hetai quickly retracted his hand and gritted his teeth. "Since Princess Yalun insists, I will disobey the Great Khan's orders this time. It will be considered as repayment for Your Highness and Princess Yalun's past kindness."
"Thank you, General." Princess Yalun's expression softened.
Gazing at the other's gentle and beautiful face, Wuliang Hetai sighed. If Wang Ye was still here, as the heir apparent, who would stop him? Wang Fei must have had a hard time living alone these years.
Princess Ya Lun walked towards the entrance of the dungeon with Yang Guo and the others following closely behind her. Wuliang Hetai was startled and hurriedly stopped them. "It's fine if Princess Ya Lun goes in, but are these people going in as well?"
Yang Guo and Hong Qigong tensed up, ready to attack at any moment. Zhou Botong, on the other hand, had a relaxed expression, as if he didn't know what nervousness was.
Alan, Daren, and Hou Xibai also activated their internal energy. Once Princess Yalun gave the order, they would work together with Wuliang Hetai's men and capture all the thieves in one fell swoop.
Princess Yalun hesitated for a moment and said, "They are my confidants, responsible for my safety."
Wu Liang Hetai stared at Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong suspiciously: "Why would Princess choose such an old warrior?" There was another warrior with a broken arm. He did not look like a warrior at all.
Princess Yalun was not flustered at all. "I have some strange people on the Internet."
Only then did Wu Liang Hetai feel relieved. In recent years, every king's mansion had been recruiting all kinds of skilled people. If King Mengke had not died, his mansion would have the most skilled people.
The group entered the dungeon. The Mongolian dungeon was much simpler, and it was not as complicated as the one in the Central Plains. Soon, they saw Guo Jing in the innermost cell. His hands and feet were shackled and his back was tied to the wall with a metal chain.
Da Wu and Xiao Wu were anxious and wanted to call out to their master, but they were stopped by Hong Qigong. He used Secret Voice-sending and said, "Wait, there are Mongolian soldiers here."
Wu Liang Hetai had come in with them and had brought many Mongolian soldiers with him. If they acted rashly, they would alert the enemy.
Princess Yalun took this opportunity to walk up to Guo Jing and asked, "Uncle Guo, I have something to ask you."
Yang Guo and Hong Qigong were surprised. They did not expect her to be so polite.
"You are?" Guo Jing looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"My husband is Mengke. His father, Torre, used to be your Anda," Princess Yalun answered.
"Torre? Mengke? "Guo Jing's expression changed as if he remembered something." What do you want to ask? "
Princess Yalun took a deep breath. "Uncle Guo, why did you kill my father, Wo Chen, in the Gaochang Maze?"
Guo Jing shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't kill anyone. I didn't even go to the Gaochang Maze."
"Are you serious?" Princess Yalun nervously grabbed the bars of the cell. Wu Liang Hetai, who was beside her, hurried to remind her to be careful. The man was highly skilled in martial arts. Even though he was shackled, it was still dangerous for him to be at such a distance.
Princess Yalun could not care less. She still stared at Guo Jing nervously.
Guo Jing said, "I've been with Huazheng all this time. You can ask her if you don't believe me."
Elder and Junior Wu looked at each other awkwardly. They had heard that their master had affairs with other women. They did not know if they should tell their master's wife the truth when they returned.
At this moment, Hong Qigong and Yang Guo suddenly moved. In an instant, they had reached the surrounding soldiers. Yang Guo reached out and grabbed Wuliang Hetai's neck. Hou Xibai and Ah Lan quickly tried to save him, but were stopped by Zhou Botong.
"Stop! Don't kill him!" Princess Yalun exclaimed.
Yang Guo hesitated for a moment. Thinking that she had been cooperative along the way, he released his hand and only sealed Wu Liang Hetai's acupuncture point.
"Princess, what's going on?" Wu Liang Hetai's face was pale. He had felt that something was wrong, but he did not think too much about it because of his trust in Princess Yalun. He did not expect these people to be evil.
Princess Yalun looked apologetic. "I'm sorry. I'll personally explain this to the Khan later."
At this moment, Hong Qigong broke through the bars of the cell and barged in. "Jing 'er, how are you?"
"Master … Master …" Guo Jing mumbled to himself. He suddenly held his head, feeling as if it was about to split open.
"What's wrong with him?" Hong Qigong turned to look at Wu Liang Hetai.
Wu Liang Hetai snorted. "How would I know?"
Hong Qigong was about to get angry when Elder and Junior Wu hurriedly said, "Master seems to have lost his memory." They had infiltrated the Princess' residence before, so they naturally knew about Guo Jing's situation.
"Lost his memory?" Hong Qigong was stunned, but he did not care too much. He had to get Wu Liang out of here first. With a thought, he tried to pull the shackles on Wu Liang Hetai's hands. With Hong Qigong's internal energy, ordinary iron chains and weapons would not be a problem. Who knew that no matter how hard he pulled, the shackles would not budge.
Wu Liang Hetai laughed. "Give up. These are made of the finest wrought iron. How could they be torn apart?"
"Where's the key?" Yang Guo pressed on Wu Liang Hetai's shoulder and circulated his internal energy.
