Shen Zhaozhao turned his back and leaned against the prison bars, avoiding his sight, and said with a wry smile: "They said you were a bandit, so of course I can't say I know you."

It was one thing for her not to want Chu Yu to die, but it was another thing for her to die with Chu Yu. She had finally been reborn, but she hadn't lived enough.

Seeing Chu Yu's miserable appearance after being tortured, she was very glad that she said she didn't know him at that time.

Thinking of what Ge San said, she turned around again and reminded him, "I heard from the jailer that you killed the county governor's nephew. They will not let you go."

Chu Yu replied lazily: "So what?"

Shen Zhaozhao hesitated for a moment, stretched his neck to look outside the cell, but Ge San and the young jailer had not returned yet.

"Let's break out of prison!"

Chu Yu did not respond. He endured the pain and concentrated his magic power, but there was still no reaction on his palm.

"Senior Sister, please mobilize your spiritual power."

Shen Zhaozhao searched his entire body and confirmed again and again: "I don't have any talisman paper left."

The biggest loophole of low-level talisman practitioners is that talisman paper is the medium for them to use their magic power, and without talisman paper they cannot activate their spiritual power.

If she wants to use magic without relying on talisman paper, she has to break through to the Golden Core Stage.

Chu Yu remembered that Shen Zhaozhao was only in the late stage of foundation building. He pondered for a while and said, "Then try to draw the Qi into your body and circulate the Dantian."

Shen Zhaozhao sat cross-legged and did as he was told.

Chu Yu saw a thin layer of sweat on her forehead: "Do you feel anything?"

Shen Zhaozhao opened his eyes and got off the bed: "Yes!"

"What's the feeling?" Chu Yu curled his fingers. Could it be that this world only limits his magic power?

Shen Zhaozhao covered her lower abdomen and said, "I feel hot in my dantian, and a little bloated and painful."

Chu Yu was silent for a moment, confusion revealed in his dark eyes: Why would Shen Zhaozhao react like this?

There were several footsteps outside. It was Ge San who came back.

It was getting dark. He had taken the food and was about to go into the cell to eat, but a few yamen runners met him and flattered him. He felt happy and chatted with them for a while longer.

Shen Zhaozhao walked to the iron gate, revealing a piece of her fair wrist, and took the two steamed buns that Ge San handed to her.

After she reached the foundation-building stage, she has been practicing fasting. Although she is usually greedy, she can control her appetite.

I don't know why, but I'm so hungry today.

Ge San stared at the slender white wrist, licked his dry lips, and could not help but reach out his hand.

Shen Zhaozhao was startled and hurriedly dodged, and the bowl of steamed buns fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The two steamed buns also rolled to the ground, and the whiteness was stained with filth.

It’s a pity that I can’t eat it anymore.

Shen Zhaozhao couldn't afford to offend Ge San, so she chose to return to the bed on an empty stomach.

Ge San was originally attracted by the beauty at first sight. He is now in a critical period waiting to be promoted and does not want to cause any trouble.

He turned and walked inside, handing the steamed buns in another bowl to Chu Yu.

Seeing Chu Yu leaning against the iron gate with blood all over his body, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to stand up. What's wrong? Are you too hungry?"

The county magistrate said he would make the young man suffer, and he did it ruthlessly.

He whipped the man with a whip soaked in salt water, but the boy said nothing and had no expression on his face, as if he didn't feel any pain.

He refused to believe it and pierced the boy's scapula and knee with the hook. Unexpectedly, the boy didn't make a sound even when he was about to faint.

Ge San handed the bowl over, as if giving alms: "Here you go, eat quickly."

Chu Yu stretched out his hand, and when it was about to reach the bowl, he turned around, bent Ge San's wrist backwards, and bent it into a 90-degree angle.

Ge San howled like a pig being slaughtered. He wanted to kill the little bastard.

Chu Yu pulled Ge San over and strangled him with his other hand.

There was a click.

Ge San hung his head and his whole body went limp.

Chu Yu threw him to the ground and looked at his hands with some disgust.

He didn't know where these people had taken his sword. Now he could only kill people with his hands, which was so dirty!

Shen Zhaozhao felt a chill on her back and her hands and feet were cold. This was the first time she saw a living person being killed so directly, and the murderer was Chu Yu.

She felt as if her neck was being strangled, and she fell backwards subconsciously, hitting her back against the iron bars.

Hearing the noise, Chu Yu looked towards her, his eyes still filled with ruthlessness that had not subsided.

Seeing Shen Zhaozhao's fear, he suppressed his anger and an innocent smile appeared on his face again: "He deserves to die, doesn't he, Senior Sister?"

At that moment, Shen Zhaozhao thought of a few words to describe Chu Yu: a smiling but dagger hidden behind one's smile, a beautiful but ferocious person.

At this moment, there was another noise at the door. It was the young jailer who fell to the ground. He saw the situation in the cell and crawled out in panic: "Hurry up, someone is killing someone! Someone is killing someone!"

Chu Yu frowned, a surge of anger in his heart. These mortals were really annoying. He wanted to kill them all.

Shen Zhaozhao's face turned pale: "What should I do? He seems to have asked someone to go."

The young jailer called all the other yamen runners, looked around, hurriedly took the key from the table, and opened the iron door of Chu Yu's cell.

A yamen runner saw that Ge San's neck was broken, so he whipped Chu Yu with a whip with a ferocious face.

In addition to the sound of whipping, Shen Zhaozhao seemed to hear a rustling sound.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten men in coarse linen clothes rushed in, and taking advantage of the yamen runners' unpreparedness, they hit them hard on the heads with thick wooden sticks.

Several yamen runners wanted to draw their swords, but were knocked unconscious before they could pull them out.

Shen Zhaozhao felt that the bearded man in the lead looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

These people knocked all the yamen runners to the ground in just a few moves.

The bearded man dropped the stick and stepped forward to support Chu Yu. His dark face seemed to be flushed. "Brother, I'm here to save you."

Shen Zhaozhao remembered who he was. He was the big man she saw when she just fell.

Chu Yu's eyelashes trembled, and he suddenly felt that some mortals were not so annoying.

He smiled the standard smile he had practiced countless times, acting harmless: "Thank you."

The bearded man supported Chu Yu and walked out. When he passed by Shen Zhaozhao's cell, his eyes widened: "How come my little brother was injured so seriously, but you are unharmed?"

He kept on talking: "Are you an accomplice of these officers and soldiers? I still remember that you fell down and knocked my brother unconscious, and that's why he was caught."

Shen Zhaozhao was speechless. If she was an accomplice of the officers and soldiers, why should she be locked up here?

She didn't want to argue with this big man, so she turned to look at Chu Yu: "Can you let me out too?"

Chu Yu raised his head and saw Shen Zhaozhao's bright almond eyes. Not long ago, these eyes were full of tears and sparkling.

He opened his thin lips and said, "But I don't know you, why should I let you out?"

What...what? She thought Chu Yu didn't take it to heart, but she didn't expect him to be waiting for her here.

Chu Yu had behaved so gently and softly before, smiling at everyone, but why did he kill people without blinking an eye and be so petty here?

She felt cheated.

The little girl was able to bend and stretch, so she decided to apologize: "Junior brother, I was wrong, please!"

Chu Yu didn't stop walking until she was at the door. She couldn't care less and shouted, "Chu Yu, husband...husband, don't leave!"

The men all stopped and turned to look at her with eyes full of astonishment.

Chu Yu also looked like he had seen a ghost, and couldn't even speak clearly: "You...what's your name...I, no, what did you call me?"

Shen Zhaozhao swallowed her saliva, and under Chu Yu's gaze, she shyly took off a butterfly hairpin inlaid with filigree and gems on her head: "My husband, do you still remember this hairpin? On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, you gave it to me as a token of love."

The bearded man was so shocked that his jaw dropped. So, were the young couple pretending not to know each other because they were having a tantrum?

Or maybe this is just the hobby between couples?

He has never been married, so he doesn't understand.

"Brother, is what this girl said true?"

If what she said was true, they had to rescue the girl.

The young man is young and energetic, and does not know how to be gentle with women. He will regret leaving this beautiful girl here in the future.

Besides, there is no overnight hatred between husband and wife. Once we bring them to the village and he mediates, what big problem can't be solved?
