After receiving the order, Mo Yu went straight to the top level of the mine, where there was a huge entrance leading to the outside.

Dozens of black-clad, sword-wielding guards were guarding the entrance to the first floor. Unlike the intimidating guards inside, these men stood erect, their expressions solemn, creating a sense of oppression the moment one entered.

Before Mo Yu got close, he heard someone shouting from the other side: "Who is here?"

Mo Yu quickly showed his Xiaoyue Villa token: "I am guarding the prisoners in the dungeon. Two prisoners died tonight. The guards asked me to report to Guard Liu."

The guard was a little impatient when he heard this: "Why don't they go and leave you alone to look for someone?"

Mo Yu said in embarrassment: "I don't know about this either."

"Tsk! What do you mean you don't know? You're just afraid to say it!" The guard said disdainfully, "Wait here. I'll report back to you."

The guard did not go out of the cave, but went to the palace. After a while, the guard came back and told him to go back and wait, saying that Kang Shao would go there in person later.

When Mo Yu heard this, he felt something was wrong and hurried back to the dungeon.

"Oh no! Change of plans."

Mo Yu and his companions' original plan for escape was to impersonate the bodies of two miners, Mo Bing and Mo Xue. Once the supervisors had examined the bodies, they would send four body collectors to carry them away, allowing them to seize the opportunity. Then, Mo Yun, Mo Bing, Mo Feng, and Doctor Ma would disguise themselves as body collectors and carry the two miners' bodies out of the mine, claiming they were ordered to use the prisoners' bodies as bait and dump them on the mountain.

This way the four of them could escape easily.

Since Mo Xue's hamstrings were broken and he couldn't go with them, he would hide her. Mo Yu would go out and shout that the prisoner had escaped, creating some chaos. Mo Yun and the others would also stay outside to attract the guards. Once they were all lured to the mountain, he would carry Mo Xue and escape in the chaos.

Even if the two of them couldn't escape in the end, four people still escaped, so it was still a profit.

Mo Yu and the others were thinking quickly. Since the plan could not be implemented, they would just have to act according to the circumstances. Anyway, they had to fight their way out today.

Mo Yun: "Let's capture the leader first, catch that Kang Shao. I don't believe we can't escape like this."

Mo Yu and the others felt that this was the only way. What they were most worried about were Mo Xue and Doctor Ma. If the two of them could get out safely, the rest of the people would have nothing to fear. They would just have to "kill" them, as it was not like they had fought with them before.

Mo Yu: "First, let's see what he's here for. Mo Yun and Mo Feng, put on your guard uniforms and blend in with their team. Mo Bing, you protect Mo Xue and Doctor Ma in the prison for the time being. Listen to my signal. If he does anything bad to you, I will subdue him first. You carry Mo Xue and Doctor Ma and leave first."

Mo Xue pouted at this time: "I don't want him to carry me on his back. Just run away. You don't need to worry about me."

None of the brothers had time to pay attention to a child. Mo Yu gave Mo Bing a look, and Mo Bing immediately understood. This look meant that if necessary, knock the child unconscious and take him away.

Doctor Ma also saw it from the side. He inexplicably understood the looks of several people and touched the back of his neck.

Doctor Ma quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't hold you back!"

Mo Yuli ignored him. Time was running out, so he opened the shackles of several people and hung them on himself. In the dim cell, it was like wearing shackles.

The corridor leading to the dungeon was suddenly flooded with guards. The news that Kang Shao was coming had the guards terrified. They were ten guards short of two, a serious offense for desertion. Their superiors would be furious and might even throw them into the mines to dig. The captain of the guards was terrified, wondering where to find two replacements.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw two people standing at the door of the stone house. They were Mo Yun and Mo Feng, dressed in guard uniforms. The guard leader was overjoyed and quickly pulled them in without any explanation. There were exactly ten people. As soon as they lined up, they saw Kang Shao and Yuan Shi'an walking down the mine.

Kang Shao glanced around the dungeon and set his sights on Mo Yu, who was wearing the guard uniform of Xiao Yue Villa and no mask.

Kang Shao smiled and said, "I didn't expect there are people in the villa who can endure hardships. What's your name?"

Mo Yu pretended to be frightened, hunched over and lowered his head: "My name is Wang Ren, I am a guard of Xiaoyue Villa."

Kang Shao nodded in satisfaction: "You are no longer needed here. Go find the general manager and get a new position! Work hard in the future."

Mo Yu was shocked. This guy was really going to attack them. He quickly replied, "Yes, I understand!"

After Mo Yu finished replying, he retreated to a corner behind Kang Shao, waiting for his opportunity to act.

Kang Shao saw two bodies lying side by side on the floor of the cell. He first asked someone to go forward and check to see if the people were really dead.

The two corpses that Mo Yu found were about the same age as them. They were very skinny and it was obvious that they had died from long-term malnutrition.

"Reporting to the master, these two people are indeed dead, and they just died."

In order to prevent them from paying too much attention to the corpse, Mo Bing and Mo Xue sat on the ground in the cell and cried loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

As expected, Kang Shao waved his hand and had the body carried away. He glanced at the three people in the cell, as if they were looking at items waiting to be sold.

He sneered, "You Dragon Shadow Guards are truly loyal! What a pity! You're so young and yet you're still working for someone else. How pitiful! Do you know that your master left you here and returned to the capital? In my opinion, he's nothing but a despicable villain."

Mo Xue was furious. He couldn't stand anyone talking about his master. "You're talking nonsense! You treacherous scoundrels, how dare you harm my master? In the future, my master will definitely chop you into pieces."

Oh my god! This little ancestor! Mo Yu and the others were all sweating in their hearts. It was not a good thing for this child to anger Kang Shao at this time.

But Kang Shao just snorted coldly and turned his head. He was too disdainful to waste time talking to a prisoner.

Kang Shao said to Yuan Shian, "I have decided. I will hand them both over to the eldest prince tomorrow."

Yuan Shian frowned, disagreeing: "Brother Kang, didn't we already agree on this? Why do you still want to get involved?"

Kang Shao said with a determined look: "I won't accept it. It's been twenty years. How can I accept it?"

"Brother Kang!" Yuan Shi'an wanted to persuade him again, but Kang Shao waved his hand. Yuan Shi'an also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he could only shut up.

"Shang Mingxian is going back to the capital. We can't let him go like this, no matter what. Tell him tomorrow that the horses from the Western Regions are on the way. Ask him to wait a few more days. If he leaves like this, it will be difficult to explain to the Fifth Prince."

Yuan Shian immediately sensed something unusual: "Did something happen in the capital?"

Kang Shao smiled cunningly: "I heard that the man is not dead and has fled back to the capital. Those people in the capital are naturally facing a great enemy. Therefore, Shang Mingxian must stay."

Yuan Shian said in disbelief: "How is this possible? He was hit by a drunken dream."

Kang Shao: "So what? If someone doesn't want him to die, he can't die. Even if he really dies, they can still use his name to do things. Isn't that right?"

Yuan Shian seemed to understand: "This, isn't this letting the tiger back into the mountains? They are tying themselves up in knots. When he recovers, he will massacre the royal family."

Kang Shao burst into laughter! "The royal family is very shrewd! They want him to go on a killing spree to clear the way for certain people. Even if he succeeds in revenge, what good will it do? He's still in a drunken dream and will surely die!"

Yuan Shian slapped his folding fan against his palm and said, "When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits."
