As soon as the dignified and generous girl Wu Feng finished speaking, the brides waiting to be chosen in other cells asked timidly: "What is this place? Why are we locked up here?"

The bride candidates also realized that the situation was not good and started talking to each other.

A girl with a small face, a pointed chin, and delicate features shouted angrily, "Is this how you, the Gong family, treat the brides who marry into the valley?"

Seeing a guard coming in to check, he raised his voice even more: "When I proposed to you, you said so much, but now I'm locked up in this smelly and shabby dungeon just a few hours after leaving home. It's ridiculous! If my father knew that you treated me like this, he would definitely not let me go..."

Before he could finish his words, the guard slammed the sheathed sword in his hand heavily on the iron bars of their cell, making a loud "clang" sound.

The girl was so frightened that she immediately shut her mouth and took two steps back away from the iron railing.

The guard was about to threaten with something, and his mouth was open, but suddenly he seemed to remember something terrible, his face turned pale, and he froze in place.

The temperature in the dungeon was so low that beads of sweat as big as soybeans appeared on his forehead.

He rolled his eyes and glanced at the innermost cell, and saw the shadowy figure sitting upright seemed to turn his head towards him. He was so frightened that he gasped and turned away immediately.

With big strides, the water splashed everywhere and splashed into the cage-like cell, forcing the bride-to-be to turn their backs to avoid having the dirty water splashed on their faces.

Although it was unknown why the guard was so fierce at one moment and so scared at another, it could be seen from their current situation and his initial attitude that a guard at the lowest level dared to be so rude to them, and was not afraid at all that they would fail and go home to complain to their families. The palace must have had a way to deal with it and had nothing to fear.

All the brides to be selected had solemn expressions and no one dared to say a word.

Anxiety and fear brewed in silence.

No one knew who started crying first, but the other brides-to-be joined the crying group one after another. Even the three brides-to-be without a front followed suit and covered their faces with their sleeves, pretending to cry.

For a moment, in the cold, damp and dimly lit dungeon, the sound of a woman's sad sobbing could be heard continuously.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, noisy voices and footsteps were suddenly heard in the corridor outside the dungeon.

The brides-to-be stopped crying nervously, and a few brave ones even moved closer to the iron railings and stared at the entrance to the dungeon nervously.

After a moment, a young man wearing a thick cloak with bright black mink fur and a black and gold headband on his forehead walked in.

He is very tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, and is very handsome. His eyebrows and eyes are as if drawn in thick ink, and there is a small mole on the right side of his nose, which makes him look indescribably playful.

It was the man who had watched the entire "siege" on the cliff next to the city gate, Gong Men Yu Gong Jizi Yu.

The water on the ground was muddy, but he ignored it and strode in, letting the muddy water cover the black leather boots embroidered with gold and silver threads.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Gong Ziyu said these words in a low voice and gentle tone, but his eyes quickly swept across the faces of the beauties near the iron fence, unwilling to stay for anyone for even a second.

It doesn't look like he's here to save someone, but rather to look for someone.
