Zhang Guangcheng did not care about everyone's gazes. He walked to the outside of the cell and looked at Ang Lee who was sitting cross-legged. His expression was somewhat complicated.
.
Ang Lee sniffed and smelled the wine and food in the basket. After staying in the cell for a day, smelling the stinky air and eating the coarse food, Ang Lee was particularly sensitive to food.
Good wine and good food were delivered. What was this for? Could it be the last meal? Ang Lee was shocked. Could it be that he guessed wrong and Wang Zhongsi wanted to kill him?
"Li Shaolang, the food in the cell is too coarse. Here's some delicious wine and food. Try it."
Zhang Guangcheng lifted the basket and passed the delicacies one by one through the cell.
"Pa."
Li Kunxiong broke a jar of wine and reprimanded, "Take it away. We don't want it."
"Kunxiong, Guangcheng has good intentions. Since good wine and food are delivered, why should we be polite?"
Li Feishouyu's expression was calm. He picked up a plate of cooked mutton and smelled it. He had an extremely satisfied expression and said softly, "It smells good. Thank you." Then he began to eat.
"Zhang Guangcheng, my Big Brother saved your life in vain. How can you be so disloyal? Big Brother is in prison and you don't even dare to fart."
Li Kunxiong's anger did not diminish in the slightest.
Zhang Guangcheng smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "If I go in, who will deliver the wine and food to you?"
Ang Lee was slightly surprised and looked at Zhang Guangcheng, "Why? Didn't Wang Jieshuai ask you to come?"
From this sentence, Ang Lee felt that Zhang Guangcheng came to deliver the wine and food himself. Wang Zhongsi most likely did not know about this.
Zhang Guangcheng smiled bitterly again. He paused and looked at Ang Lee, "Li Shaolang, I've already asked around. Wang Jieshuai wants to lock you up for a period of time to grind down your arrogance. Don't expect to get out for a while. The food in the cell is coarse. I'll deliver good food every day." After he finished speaking, he left under the urging of the prison guard.
"Lock you up for a period of time to grind down your arrogance. _ Q8.
e`n8.”
Ang Lee muttered a few words to himself. Suddenly, he shouted, "Zhang Guangcheng, come back! Come back!"
Although Ang Lee shouted himself hoarse, Zhang Guangcheng had already walked far away.
"Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Li Kunxiong asked anxiously when he saw the sweat on Ang Lee's forehead.
Ang Lee said anxiously, "Have you forgotten that Li Hanlu said that she would wait for me in Zhuolu Valley with the sprout in three days? If I'm trapped here, I won't miss the timing."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly remembered that there was such a matter and couldn't help but frown.
"Big Brother, what should we do? We're trapped in the prison. If we don't get out in time, we won't be able to see the sprout again."
"I'm fine. There's nothing I can do."
Ang Lee was truly anxious at that moment. He paced back and forth in the cell. Wang Zhongsi didn't ask any questions and directly locked him up for a period of time. This was something he hadn't expected. And this way, he would definitely miss his appointment with Li Hanlu.
"Men, let me out. I want to see Wang Jieshuai."
Ang Lee kicked the prison's bars and roared loudly.
"Men, are you all dead? I want to see Wang Jieshuai."
Even though Li An shouted himself hoarse, the jailers in the prison acted as if they couldn't hear him. They didn't respond at all. They didn't reprimand him, nor did they come over to question him. Li An was at a loss.
In fact, this was all instructed by Wang Zhongsi in advance. It was to grind down Ang Lee's temper and kill his arrogance.
"Bastard, these bastards are deaf."
The cell that Ang Lee was locked in was made of iron bars. After being kicked for half a day, there was no damage at all. This made it impossible for Ang Lee to break out.
"Don't worry. There's still a day and a half. When Zhang Guangcheng delivers food tomorrow, he can go to Zhuolu Valley. ﹏ 8
`.”
Li Feishou suddenly thought of Zhang Guangcheng. He believed that only Zhang Guangcheng could complete this task.
When Ang Lee heard this, he hurriedly nodded. He was like a drowning person who suddenly saw a life-saving straw. A glimmer of hope emerged in his heart.

In Zhang Qiqiu's residence, Wang Zhongsi picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. He then placed it on the table in front of him. He looked up at the prison guard and asked about the situation with Ang Lee and the others.
The prison guard didn't dare to hide anything and reported truthfully, "Marshal, they were still peaceful yesterday. Today, they suddenly became more irritable. They were shouting and yelling in the prison, demanding to see you."
"Hmph, it's only been a day and they're already so anxious. How can they accomplish anything with such impatience? It seems like they need to be locked up for a few more days." Wang Zhongsi softly reprimanded. He then asked, "Has anyone seen them today?"
The jailer replied truthfully, "Replying to Jie Shuai, at noon today, Military Envoy Zhang and a Shaolang came with food and wine. Military Envoy did not enter the prison, he only asked the Shaolang to deliver the food and wine to several people in the prison, and then left."
Wang Zhongsi grinned, "This Zhang Qiqiu is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Ang Lee saved his life, so it's only right for him to do so." After saying this, he waved his hand and dismissed the prison guard.
After the prison guard left, Geshu Han took a step forward and said seriously, "Marshal, the situation in the Turks is getting more and more tense. If we stay here for too long, we might delay the important matters."
Wang Zhongsi didn't think much of it and said softly, "No matter how tense the situation is, it doesn't matter if we stay here for a few more days. Right now, we've just chased away the troops that invaded Yuzhou. The people haven't calmed down and are afraid that the troops will come again. If we leave rashly, the people of Yuzhou will lose their sense of safety."
When Geshu Han heard this, he lightly nodded. He knew that Wang Zhongsi was a general who loved the people. In order to let the people live in peace, he had fought for many years and defeated the troops that attacked the people of the Tang dynasty time and time again.
The reason why Wang Zhongsi wanted to stay in Yuzhou for a few more days, other than to calm the people, was because he was worried about Ang Lee's matter.
If Ang Lee hadn't released the remnants of the troops in Zhuolu Valley and instead captured and killed them, it would have been a great merit. Wang Zhongsi would have been able to smoothly recruit Ang Lee and promote him to a general. In the future, with some grooming, Ang Lee would definitely be able to become a general who could take charge of an area.
However, Ang Lee had mysteriously released the remnants of the troops and even stopped his troops from chasing after them. How could Wang Zhongsi not be angry with such audacity and disregard for military rules? If he still promoted Ang Lee, what would his subordinates think of him?
Li An had displayed such impressive talent at such a young age, which was something that Wang Zhongsi admired very much. However, Li An's youthful arrogance and arrogance gave Wang Zhongsi a headache. He had to think carefully about how to polish a piece of unpolished jade.
"Marshal, there's news from the capital."
A confidant handed a letter to Wang Zhongsi.
Wang Zhongsi gently opened the letter. After reading it, he frowned deeply.

In the prison of Anbian City, Ang Lee and the other four were waiting for Zhang Guangcheng. Zhang Guangcheng didn't appear even after noon. This made Ang Lee very anxious. Kun Xiong and Erniu even began to curse at Zhang Guangcheng for not keeping his word.
"Big Brother, Zhang Guangcheng is a bastard. It's been so long and he still hasn't come."
"This Tian Shelang is heartless. We shouldn't have trusted him."
Lifei Shouyu wasn't anxious at all. He calmly picked up a piece of Hu cake that was as hard as a rock and bit into it. The food in the prison had always been poor, but it was enough to fill one's stomach.
Ang Lee had something on his mind and naturally had no appetite. He didn't eat a single bite. However, he believed that Zhang Guangcheng would definitely come.
After dark, Zhang Guangcheng arrived late and prepared more food and wine than the day before.
"Zhang Guangcheng, why are you only here now?"
Erniu reprimanded loudly.
Zhang Guangcheng smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer. He was just a small fry. He couldn't bring food whenever he wanted. Without Zhang Qiqiu's appearance, he had no right to come near the prison. Moreover, he didn't like to explain, so he could only accept it silently.
Ang Lee didn't care about food and drink. He grabbed Zhang Guangcheng's hands through the bars and told him about his agreement with Li Hanlu. He also requested that Zhang Guangcheng immediately head to Zhuolu Valley to retrieve his family.
Zhang Guangcheng was surprised when he heard that. It was no wonder Ang Lee had released the remnants of the Fan Army. It was because his adopted sister was in their hands.
"Li Shaolang, don't worry. I will rush to Zhuolu Valley tomorrow morning."
Ang Lee shook his head and said, "Zhuolu Valley is so far away. It will take at least half a day. It's best you go now."
From Ang Lee's point of view, he could reach Zhuolu Valley early the next morning if he set off at night. He could then bring the sprout to Anbian City before dark.
"Li Shaolang, it's curfew now. Without the marshal's token, the city gates won't open."
"Then you have to think of a way. You can ask General Zhang and General Guo for help."
Zhang Guangcheng nodded. "Li Shaolang, don't worry. I will do my best." With that said, he left the prison with the empty basket.
"Big Brother, can Zhang Guangcheng really bring back the sprout?"
Ang Lee heaved a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "What else can we do? Now, the only one who can help us is Zhang Guangcheng."
At that moment, Ang Lee felt extremely helpless. He felt as though his hands and feet were tied. The reason for this was that he wasn't strong enough. He was still a minor figure. If he made a mistake, he could be punished wantonly.
"Wang Zhongsi, are you really that heartless? How long are you going to lock me up for?"
Ang Lee felt a hint of dissatisfaction.
Zhang Guangcheng walked out of the prison and immediately told Zhang Qiqiu the reason why Ang Lee had released the remnants of the Fan Army. He also requested to leave the city immediately and head for Zhuolu Valley.
Zhang Qiqiu immediately exclaimed when he heard that. However, he used the excuse that Zhuolu Valley was only half a day's journey and that they could make it in time early the next morning to refuse Zhang Guangcheng's request to leave the city overnight.
After all, it was already late and Wang Zhongsi was already resting. It wasn't good to disturb his superior over such a trivial matter. At the very least, from Zhang Qiqiu's point of view, the sprout's matter was trivial.
