Jiang Li pushed the door open and saw the two people turning their heads towards her.

I was still confused when I thought about it before, but the moment I saw Jiang Li, many things became clear instantly.

"This...you saved us? We left the palace prison?!"

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, we meet again. Are you surprised or surprised?"

Both of them looked at her in shock. They were indeed surprised and surprised...

But it can be seen that even after being imprisoned for several years, neither of them has become stupid.

They still looked at Jiang Li with a hint of wariness.

After a period of silence, the bandit brother couldn't help but speak, "Why did you want to save us?"

Jiang Li blinked, "If I said that I saved you because of my love in prison, would you believe it?"

The general brother stared at her, but his face was no longer as gentle as when he was in prison. He only said, "Do you believe this when I say it?"

Although he and Jiang Li have not known each other for a long time, and they have never talked about anything in depth, in daily chats, one can somewhat discern the character of others.

Even though Jiang Li looks like a weak and harmless woman, she actually has a lot of thoughts.

There may have been some affection for them back then, but he was definitely not naive enough to take risks to get them out of the palace prison.

Jiang Li didn't expect such an argument to fool them. He just smiled and nodded, "Okay, although there are indeed some reasons, it is indeed not the main reason."

At this time, the bandit brother hesitantly said again, "I said... you probably heard me mention the tribute in the palace prison, so you became greedy and wanted to know the whereabouts of the tribute from me, so you We rescued him?"

It's not surprising that he would guess like this. After all, on the surface, this is the only maximum value that the two of them can extract.

Jiang Li thought for a while and did not deny it, "I am indeed short of money. If you are willing to tell me, that would be great."

Upon hearing this, the general's eyes darkened, "In other words, this is not your main reason?"

"Princess Changrong...what exactly do you want to do?"

Jiang Li looked at him with a smile, "You have already guessed it... haven't you?"

The general's heart skipped a beat, but he still insisted, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You saved me, I'm very grateful, but if you want wealth, he can give it to you, but I can't give it to you."

"I have no desire for this world anymore, please kill me."

What he said was without any hesitation. It was indeed not just talk, he really wanted to die.

The bandit leader was silent for a moment when he saw this, and then said, "Sister, you saved me, I am very grateful, but... I'm sorry, I have already sworn to carry this secret into the grave."

"Everyone in my village died because of this. I don't want them to see the world again, so I just want to take them to death with me. No one can get it."

"So, I can't give you what you asked for, so give me a happy one!"

In just a few words, two people begged for death one after another, and their lives were really saved in vain.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Don't beg for death in a hurry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

She ignored the bandit leader, but stared at the general and said, "Zhou Huansheng, General Zhou."

When he first heard his name, Zhou Huansheng trembled slightly, as if he remembered some past events, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life.

He moved the corners of his lips, "Have you ever asked about me?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Yeah, guess what?"

Zhou Huansheng's eyes flashed slightly, but he held himself silent.

Jiang Li smiled even more, and spoke in a long tone, "I heard... General Zhou was once my father's subordinate. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

These words made the bandit leader stunned for a moment, "Huh? Aren't you a princess? Isn't your father that bitch emperor?"

He was imprisoned three years ago, when Jiang Li's father died, so naturally he didn't know that Jiang Li was later named Princess Evergreen.

Just hearing the guards call her that, they subconsciously thought she was the emperor's daughter.

But seeing that she was also imprisoned, and thinking that her relationship with this dog emperor was not that good, I didn't feel angry at Jiang Li at that time. Instead, I thought this girl was nice and I got along well with her.

When he first heard the conversation between the two, wasn't he confused?

Jiang Li glanced at him and chuckled, "Brother the bandit, is your name Meng Chong, right?"

"Brother Meng doesn't know. My biological father's surname is Jiang. He was the general of the Qing Kingdom and was in charge of the Flame Army."

"Three years ago, my parents and brothers died in the battlefield. The emperor showed his grief and mercy, so he made me, the only remaining daughter of the Jiang family, a princess."

Meng Chong was shocked when he heard her words, "You...you are General Jiang's daughter?!"

This sentence was a bit intriguing. Jiang Li smiled and said, "Why, Brother Meng also knows my father?"

"Of course I..."

The words came out of his mouth, but before he could finish them, Zhou Huansheng next to him glared at him, so Meng Chong changed his words.

"...Of course I don't know him!"

"Haha... I am just a bandit leader. How do I know General Jiang... But I have always heard others mention General Jiang's reputation before, and I have always admired him very much."

He said that, but his face couldn't conceal the complexity, but it couldn't deceive anyone at all.

Jiang Li knew that his guess was correct.

These two people... are indeed inextricably related to her father's death three years ago.

Of course, this does not mean that they contributed to her father's death, but that they probably knew something. That was why Emperor Qing never killed them, but only locked them in the palace prison.

Thinking about it this way, it may not be a complete coincidence that Jiang Li was imprisoned in the palace prison.

Maybe... Emperor Qing just couldn't get the truth out of those two people, so he sent Jiang Li in to see if she could get something out of them.

Although it was a bit risky, Emperor Qing never took Jiang Li seriously.

Three years of observation have convinced him that Jiang Li is a fool.

And Jiang Li's every move in the palace prison was probably under the surveillance of Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing confirmed that they didn't say anything, so Jiang Li still didn't know anything.

It was also because of this that he did not suspect Jiang Li for the fire in the palace prison.

Thinking about it now, Jiang Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat... Sure enough, these ancient people's heads were full of twists and turns, and none of them were simple.

What she did was a bit risky. If she was not careful, she might get burned.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li's face turned a little dark, and he thought to himself that he was still a little careless, and he should be more careful in the future.

After retracting his somewhat distant thoughts, Jiang Li adjusted his expression again and looked at Zhou Huansheng with a smile.

"They are all smart people. In fact, General Zhou doesn't need to be so secretive anymore... You still refuse to confess now, but because you still don't trust me?"
