Chapter 641

Yang Hong did not panic at all despite being thrown into prison. He was indifferent as he knew that Liu Biao did not dare to kill him. If Liu Biao were to kill him, there would be no chance of ‘reconciling’ with Yangzhou. Liu Mang would be forced to attack Yangzhou and even if he didn’t, Liu Biao would still lose face.

That was why Liu Biao also arranged for bodyguards to keep Yang Hong alive.

“Sir!” One of the jailers greeted when Liu Pan’s subordinate brought Yang Hong over.

“Open the gates.” Liu Pan’s subordinate said arrogantly. There was no one in Jingzhou that did not know of the Second Lord’s might. As the Second Lord’s subordinate, they could act as they like.

Though the jailer’s position was higher than that of the Second Lord’s subordinate, he had no choice but to lower his head towards the subordinate.

“Yes, yes!” The jailer replied and had his subordinates open the cell.

“Who is this person?” The jailer asked as he pointed at Yang Hong.

“I am just a guest. No need to worry about me.” Yang Hong replied indifferently.

The jailer was confused. A guest? Why would a guest be in prison?

“Hmph!” Liu Pan’s guards wanted to kill Yang Hong but was unable to because of Liu Biao’s orders. Though he could not kill Yang Hong, he could still make life difficult for Yang Hong. By putting Yang Hong in prison for a few days, they could vent their General’s anger. “This person is a major criminal in Jingzhou personally convicted by the Lord. You must watch him closely. If anything happens, you will have to answer for it!” Liu Pan’s guards said as though he was the superior. The jailer felt angry at this but he did not dare show it.

“Alright. Let’s go.” Liu Pan’s guards said as they left. The safety at Xiangyang’s prison was reassuring.

“What kind of farce is this? They are simply following a good master! In the end, they are just Liu Pan’s dogs!” One prison guard said with disdain.

“Sigh. Do not speak needlessly.” The older and more cautious one warned.

“No boss. We will only say this behind their backs. We are complaining because it is unfair towards you as you are a military officer. Your rank is higher than bodyguards like them.” The prison guard said.

“So what? You also said that he followed a good master!” The officer shook his head. Liu Pan was at the peak of his power. He replaced the Cai Family and now even the Kuai Family could not speak. The only ones in power now are Huang She and Liu Pan.

Yang Hong smiled indifferently as he heard the others talk. It would seem that Jingzhou was not as peaceful as it seems. “Generals. Which one is the cell I am going to?”

The officer could not help but stare at Yang Hong for a while after hearing that question. After many years of service, he has found two kinds of people that could act so indifferently when being sent to prison. The first were madmen. The second were those confident they would leave. Yang Hong himself had said that he was a guest. Ne/w novel chapters are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m

“Sir, who are you and where did you come from?” The officer asked while cupping his fist.

“Just call me Yang Hong. I came from Yangzhou.” Yang Hong replied with a smile.

“He come from Yangzhou and the Lord told us to look after him properly. We can put him in together with that person.”

“That person? Can we really do that?” The officer was unsure.

“We won’t know unless we try.”

“Which room is mine?” Yang Hong asked.

“Let’s go, sir!” The jailer took Yang Hong to a remote corner and then said, “Sir, this is your cell.”

Yang Hong furrowed his brows as he looked at the cell. It was a common cell that is gloomy and damp. There were even rats scurrying around. Yang Hong felt indignant. Though he believed that Liu Biao would be rude towards him as he was here demanding money. Yet, he did not think that Liu Biao would be impolite to this degree. Entering prison should be a consolation Liu Biao gave himself rather than a show of power towards Yang Hong.

“Is this the way Jingzhou treats guests?” Yang Hong asked coldly.

“Actually, we do not have anywhere else to put you. Please put up with it.” The officer said as he lowered his head.

“Is it General Zuo?” A voice suddenly asked while Yang Hong was feeling uncomfortable.

“A woman?” Yang Hong was stunned. Why would there be a woman here? Was this a prison for women?

They were indeed at the prison for women. It was relatively empty since women seldom entered prison. Most of them were either beaten to death on the spot or were sent away.

“Milady. It is me. I’ve brought food for you.” The officer nodded. Yang Hong noticed the food in the officer’s hand.

“General. Thank you for the trouble.” The woman replied.

“Milady?” Yang Hong could not understand. Which family’s lady would be imprisoned?

The officer then introduced her to Yang Hong. “This is Lady Cai.”

“Hm? Lady Cai?” Yang Hong’s eyes grew wide.

“Milady. This man is Yang Hong. He came from Yangzhou!” The officer said.

Lady Cai immediately dropped the box of food and shuddered. “Yang... Yangzhou!”
