The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

The commander of the camp, Xue Lun, is An Ruohuai's confidant.

An Ruohuai had solemnly entrusted him that Long Yin was the talent he relied on most, so Xue Lun naturally treated him as a distinguished guest and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

The dungeon in the camp had been empty for a long time and no prisoners were currently held there.

Therefore, Gu Mingzhao directly applied to requisition the entire dungeon.

In terms of personnel arrangements, although he was the captain of the guards, the guards under him obviously would not obey his orders.

After careful consideration, Gu Mingzhao decided to transfer Liang Wu to the dungeon and put him in charge of the guard work.

Not only that, he also asked Liang Wu to replace all the guards in the dungeon with people he trusted.

In this way, the entire dungeon was under Gu Mingzhao's control.

After this personnel transfer, Liang Wu admired Gu Mingzhao from the bottom of his heart. He had been here for less than ten days, but he had already built up his own power. He was indeed very capable.

This ability and wisdom is truly amazing.

"Liang Wu, the prisoners in the dungeon are extremely important. I want to interrogate them personally." Gu Mingzhao said solemnly to Liang Wu, "Except for the people who deliver meals, no one else is allowed to enter."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the gloomy and dark dungeon.

In the dim underground, the air was filled with a damp and musty smell, which intertwined with the decaying odor emanating from deep in the soil, making people shudder.

Gu Mingzhao symbolically tied Qin Xiaoxiao to the torture device with a rope, then turned around to tidy up the simple straw bed and began to close his eyes to rest.

Qin Xiaoxiao was worried about her father whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She stared at the direction of the prison door, afraid of missing any movement.

There was dead silence in the dungeon.

In this dark dungeon, the passage of time seems to be infinitely stretched, and every moment seems so long and torturous.

Finally, the sound of footsteps broke the dead silence.

The sound came from far away and gradually approached, accompanied by the creaking sound of the iron door opening, and several figures gradually appeared in the dim candlelight.

The leader was Liang Wu, followed by Liao Qinglan and Qin Yunhan who was carrying a food box.

"General Long, Young Master Long has come personally to bring you food." Liang Wu's voice echoed in the empty dungeon.

Gu Mingzhao stood up when he heard the footsteps.

Looking up, I saw Liao Qinglan and Qin Yunhan standing outside the prison door.

"Brother, we are here to bring you food." Liao Qinglan walked quickly to Gu Mingzhao's side.

"Well, have you eaten?" Gu Mingzhao asked.

"Not yet. I'll bring it to you as soon as the meal is ready."

"Then you can eat with me." Gu Mingzhao said, looking at Liang Wu on the side, "Liang Wu, you go out first, I will send them out later."

Liang Wu nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Gu Mingzhao then turned to Qin Yunhan and said in a deep voice, "You don't have much time, so let's make it short."

After saying that, Gu Mingzhao took Liao Qinglan to the cell next door, leaving this place to Qin Yunhan and his daughter.

Liao Qinglan took out the dishes from the food box one by one, and the aroma filled the air in the cell instantly.

"I woke up at noon and found that you were gone. Why didn't you rest for a while?" she asked softly.

"I really couldn't sleep before. Don't worry, I was sleeping in the dungeon just now."

"I didn't expect you to act so quickly. In just half a day, you brought Qin Xiaoxiao to the camp." Liao Qinglan praised, her tone full of admiration.

"She was not completely on the same page with the bandit leader, so it was able to go this smoothly."

Liao Qinglan nodded. Thinking of Qin Yunhan's restless look, she couldn't help but worry about them. "Can she get away with this?"

"Whether she can get away depends on her own performance. You don't have to worry about her." Gu Mingzhao said lightly.

"Oh." Liao Qinglan responded.

She was absent-minded while eating and would secretly glance at Gu Mingzhao from time to time.

Gu Mingzhao asked, "Do you have anything to say from time to time?"

Liao Qinglan was a little embarrassed by the question, and hesitantly said: "Oh... I just want to ask, has Qin Xiaoxiao... has she shown her affection to you?"

Gu Mingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you care about her a lot?"

Liao Qinglan hurriedly covered up: "I don't really care, but she used to be quite obsessed with you, spent a lot of money on you in Jinyulou, and she is also very beautiful... I am a little worried about the two of you being alone like this."

"She is willing to spend a fortune on me only because she is impressed by my skills. Besides, you have also seen that the person she likes should be Wang Tingzhi."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. I spent half a day with her in prison and we didn't say a word. Can you rest assured now?" Gu Mingzhao said with a smile.

After hearing this, Liao Qinglan finally felt relieved and began to concentrate on eating.

The food in the military camp was simple and the two men finished it quickly.

They packed up the extra money together and went back to their original cell.

Qin Yunhan and Qin Xiaoxiao both had red eyes.

Especially Qin Xiaoxiao. The last time Liao Qinglan saw her, she was still the charming and attractive daughter of the richest man, and her every move was full of charm.

Now her tears are falling like pearls from a broken string, and she looks extremely pitiful.

When Qin Yunhan saw the two of them coming back, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and greeted them.

"Uncle Qin, how was your conversation?" Liao Qinglan asked.

"Xiaoxiao originally thought that I was gone. The person who harmed me had great power in the court, so she took the risk. Now that I am still alive, she will naturally not do such a thing that will get her head killed. Xiaoxiao is willing to make amends for her crime and help you clean up this place."

Qin Yunhan spoke first.

Gu Mingzhao looked at Qin Xiaoxiao: "Is this what you meant?"

"Yes, I just hope that when the imperial court investigates this matter later, they will let my father and I go."

"The imperial court has surrounded this place a long time ago. It's only a matter of time before it's cleared out. What else can you do?" Gu Mingzhao did not agree directly, but bargained instead.

"Most of the soldiers here are just ordinary people who came here out of desperation. I can help the court avoid a fierce battle and win at the lowest cost."

"That sounds good. What do you have in mind?"

"Lin Bei has three hundred guards, and they all obey my orders. Let me see Lu Renjia, and I will have them capture An Ruohuai alive."

"What about the main camp?"

"Tomorrow is Wang Tingzhi's wedding day. I prepared all the wedding wine for him. It's in my tent now. I can add some ingredients to it to make sure they have no resistance."

"Okay, I'll go get Lu Renjia here in a minute. If you can follow the plan, I'll report to the court that you're an insightful person who's been undercover here. Not only will I spare you the death penalty, I'll also ask for rewards for your merits."

"Let me thank Lord Long on behalf of my daughter first!" Qin Yunhan burst into tears and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Everything has been arranged almost, and it's time for Liao Qinglan and Qin Yunhan to leave.

Gu Mingzhao sent them to the door, and while the guards were not paying attention, he went to the tent behind to look for Lu Renjia.
