"I happened to pass by and came in to take a look. I found that there was a cellar here. After I caught those people, I thought of this place and locked them up here. Is it safe?"

Dong Hyuk said proudly, walked to the corner of the room, pushed open the water tank that was originally placed there, revealing a locked cellar door.

Zhao Tingyu nodded. "It is indeed safe. The capital is so big that only by hiding in such an inconspicuous place can we avoid being discovered."

Zi Han also curled her lips on the roof. It was indeed safe. If they hadn't led the way, it would have taken a lot of effort to find this place. The key point was that it was a waste of time. I'm afraid the people inside couldn't wait.

She watched the three men below open the lock and pull open the iron plate together. Then she took out a black scarf and calmly covered her face. She was about to call the purple-clothed guards below when Yu Xi suddenly looked up and shouted, "Who?"

Zi Han chuckled. It turned out that there was another smart person. Without waiting for the three to come out, she jumped in through the door and windows with several purple-clothed guards and surrounded the three heroes of Merlin.

"Who are you?" Yu Xi stared at them warily.

Zi Han waved her hand, and two purple-clothed guards quickly went down the dungeon. Dong He wanted to stop them, but Zi Han drew out the sword in her hand and blocked his way.

Zi Han did not respond to Yu Xi, and the other purple-clothed guards naturally did not speak either. For a moment, the two sides confronted each other and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Zhao Tingyu wanted to take action but was stopped by Yu Xi. He saw that the women in front of him were all good at martial arts, so he decided to find a way to leave. As long as they could get out of the encirclement, it should not be difficult for the three of them to escape with their martial arts skills.

After a while, the two purple-clothed guards who had gone down to the cellar helped the two old men to slowly climb up. The old men looked extremely weak. As soon as they came up, they sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

A woman and a child followed closely behind. Two purple-clothed guards came over and whispered to Zi Han, "There is an old man in there who is dying. Another old man refuses to come up. There is also a pregnant woman who is also guarding an old man."

Zi Han frowned and said, "Go and invite the princess."

The purple-robed guard immediately took the order and left. Seeing Zi Han distractedly talking, Yu Xi winked at Dong He and Zhao Tingyu, and the three of them suddenly moved and rushed towards the door.

Zi Han snorted coldly, "You don't know your own limitations!"

She slipped and appeared in front of Yu Xi, and stabbed him in the face with a sword. Dong He and Zhao Tingyu were also intercepted by the purple-clothed guards.

When Yu Xi saw that Zi Han's Qinggong was better than hers, she knew that the three of them would not be able to escape today. Sure enough, after a few moves, the three of them were captured by the purple-clothed guards and had no strength to fight back.

Zhao Tingyu shouted, "Who are you? I am the son of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. How dare you arrest me?"

Zi Han looked at him as if he were a fool. Was he afraid of dragging his father down with him?

"If you have anything to say, just tell the prince when we get to the Dali Temple." Zi Han said the first sentence here, and then asked the purple-robed guards to take the three people away.

Chu Yunxi rushed over immediately after receiving the news. Xiao Mubei brought her here with Qinggong. As soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Where is the old man?"

Zi Han pointed to the cellar, and Chu Yunxi climbed down without hesitation. As soon as she entered, she smelled a foul odor. She frowned and saw a pregnant woman with a big belly inside. She should be Cao Dong's wife. An old man was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. His chest was rising and falling very weakly. An old woman was sitting next to him, constantly shouting, "Old man, wake up quickly."

Chu Yunxi stepped forward and said, "I'm a doctor, let me take a look."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao knelt down hurriedly and said, "Doctor, please save my father-in-law."

"I'll do my best." Chu Yunxi pulled the old man's wrist, felt his pulse for a while, then took out a stethoscope and listened carefully to his heart and other organs.

After a while, she put away the stethoscope, stuffed a pill into the old man's mouth, and said, "This is because you have been in a closed space with poor air circulation for a long time, which has caused your brain to be deprived of oxygen and your breathing to be blocked. You must leave here as soon as possible and go to a place with good air circulation."

When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, please help my old man, girl."

"Bai Yu." Chu Yunxi shouted, and Bai Yu came down immediately, carried the old man on his back and went out. Zi Han supported the old woman, and Chu Yunxi supported the pregnant woman, and they finally returned to the ground.

After asking where the homes of the two families were, Xiao Mubei arranged for people to send them back. The three heroes of Merlin finally decided not to kill Cao Dong and Chen Ruiqi in advance because they were afraid that they would go back on their word. After locking them up, they also left some food for them, which is how they managed to survive until now.

Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei followed the Cao family back. Chu Yunxi took out an oxygen bag for Mr. Cao to use, prescribed some medicine for him, explained the precautions, and checked Mrs. Cao's body. Fortunately, the fetus was normal.

After finishing all this, Madam Cao finally had time to talk to Chu Yunxi. She asked tentatively, "Just now I heard someone call the two princes and princesses. I wonder... Is it His Royal Highness the Prince of Dingbei and the Princess of Dingbei?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "That's right."

Madam Cao became excited again when she heard this, and hurriedly tried to kneel down. Chu Yunxi quickly supported her, "You are pregnant, don't kneel down all the time. Our prince doesn't usually have so many rules."

"Excuse me, princess, where is my husband now?"

"They are still in the Dali Temple prison, but don't worry, ma'am. They have already admitted that they did not kill the man. At most, they will be charged with obstructing the investigation and will be released after a few days." Chu Yunxi helped Madam Cao sit down.

Madam Cao and Cao's mother both breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as they are not beheaded, it's fine. Prince, Princess, if there is anything you need us to testify for, just tell us. We will definitely testify in court. Those three people are so ruthless that even if we kill them ten thousand times, it will be difficult to wash away their sins."

Chu Yunxi asked curiously: "Do you know what happened?"

Madam Cao said, "Yes, they were planning in the cellar on the day they arrested us. We heard everything clearly and knew they were the serial rape and murder murderers. Unfortunately, we were locked in the cellar and had no way to come out and report them."

"Okay, in that case, when the Merlin Three are tried, you may be required to testify in court. You should also be careful recently. If anything happens, you can go to the Dali Temple to find us."

Chu Yunxi was a little worried that if Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Zhao Yuzhi knew that his son was arrested, he would be desperate. However, Xiao Mubei had already sent people to keep an eye on Zhao Yuzhi. If it were not for his identity, arresting him would require reporting to Emperor Sui Ming in advance. They could arrest Zhao Yuzhi today.
