The Southern Prefecture.

Sihan stood by the door waiting anxiously. She kept looking forward, hoping to see Bing'er and Zhining, but even when the sky was about to turn dark, she still did not see Bing'er and Zhining in front of her. Sihan was getting more and more anxious. She was afraid that Bing'er and Zhining would have some kind of accident.

Seeing that the sky had completely darkened and that Lu Zhao, who had gone out to scout for news, hadn't returned, Sihan couldn't stand anymore as she ran through the dark of the night towards General Shang Ang's manor.

"Sihan, where are you going?" Lu Zhao could see Sihan walking with her head down from afar.

Hearing Lu Zhao's familiar voice, Sihan smiled before she raised her head. However, when she saw that there was no Zhining or Bing'er behind Lu Zhao, the smile on her face gradually froze.

Without waiting for Lu Zhao to arrive in front of her, she asked him half-heartedly, "What about them?"

Lu Shao's expression changed, and he lowered his head to look at the ground, not knowing what to say to Sihan.

Sihan stepped forward and pulled at Lu Zhao's sleeve, asking anxiously, "What happened to them?"

He took a deep breath, looked at Sihan, and slowly spoke, "They snuck into the old general's room, and Gu Ziming found them and caught them on the spot. Now, they're locked up in the general's manor cell by Gu Ziming."

"What did you say?" Gu Ziming is locked up in his cell? " The anger in Sihan's heart immediately increased. She angrily strode forward quickly, but ZhiNing and Bing'er hadn't done anything wrong. Why would Gu Ziming lock them up?

Lu Zhao reached out and grabbed Sihan's arm, "Don't go."

"Why?" Sihan turned to look at Lu Zhao in confusion. Right now, Zhi Ning and Bing'er were locked up in Gu Ziming's cell, but Lu Zhao actually didn't want to let her go to the general's estate?

"The young general must be in a bad mood right now. If you add oil to the fire now, the young general's anger will grow even stronger." "At that time, not only will you not be able to save Zhining and Bing'er, you might also be locked up by the young general." Lu Zhao explained to Sihan.

Sihan looked at Lu Shao and then broke free from his hold on her hand, walking directly to the general's manor.

Seeing Sihan stubbornly walk towards the general's manor, Lu Zhao furrowed his brows. He turned around and chased after Sihan, putting himself in her path, "I know you're worried about Zhining and Bing'er, and I'm worried about them as well. However, this isn't the time to look for the young general."

"I don't care if it's appropriate or not. In short, I can make Bing'er and Zhining stay in the prison. You've stayed in the prison, so you should know how it feels to stay there. Zhining, she can still endure it, but how can Bing'er bear it?" Furthermore, they were going to help Gu Ziming, not harm him. Why would Gu Zimo lock them up in his cell? "

"I know everything you said, but the young general is really in a bad mood right now. Can you really save Bing'er and Zhining by going to find the young general now?" Lu Zhao patiently explained to Sihan.

Sihan looked deeply at Lu Zhao for a moment, then walked past him and continued onward. Whether or not she could save Bing'er and Zhining, she still had to give it a try.

"Sihan ~!" Lu Zhao frowned as he looked at the stubborn Sihan walking forward. This really wasn't the right time to look for Gu Ziming, so why wouldn't Sihan listen to him?

Sihan ignored Lu Zhao and continued walking forward. She knew that Lu Zhao had good intentions in mind, but she had to give it a try. She couldn't let Zhi Ning and Bing'er stay in their cell.

Lu Zhao looked at Sihan's back and sighed helplessly, then followed Sihan to protect her. Perhaps, when they arrived at the main gate of the General's Estate and saw what had happened, Sihan would change her mind without his persuasion.

Sihan jogged towards the general's manor. When she arrived at the gates, she was stunned. There was no one at the gates, not even soldiers guarding the gates. Sihan was stunned for a moment. Then, she strode forward and could enter the gates of the general's estate. The courtyard was also empty. There wasn't even a person who guarded the old general's mansion. The old general's corpse was left alone in the middle of the courtyard, accompanied by the bright moon hanging high in the sky and patches of green grass on the ground. The old general's body looked so miserable.

Sihan turned her head to look at Lu Zhao behind her, "How could this be?" Weren't there a lot of generals and soldiers who came to pay their respects to the old general? Why is there no one here? "

Lu Zhao sighed deeply, "When the discussion was about to go dark, the Emperor decreed that no soldier should pay respects to the old general, or else they would be executed on the spot as a sinner who sold his country to the enemy! All the soldiers who had come to pay their respects had left the general's mansion.

"Damn old emperor, he's really a fainting monarch!" Sihan clenched her fists tightly and said angrily. The old general had sacrificed his entire life for the Qi Kingdom, but in the end, he had ended up like this. There wasn't even a single person who guarded his spiritual force. How pitiful. What's the use of having an emperor who doesn't understand anything? Sooner or later, the Qi nation would be defeated by him.

Sihan walked towards the old general in advance and lit three sticks of incense for him. She gave three deep bows to the old general and stuck the incense in the incense burner.

Lu Zhao also went up to pay his respects to the old general, and then stood side by side with Sihan in front of the old general's corpse.

"Who is it?" A well-dressed middle-aged man, accompanied by a dozen servants, slowly approached Sihan and Lu Zhao from a distance. Their faces were filled with anger, as if they had a grudge with Sihan and the rest.

"We have come to see the young general and pay our respects to him." The faintly fragrant middle-aged man explained.

"Our Young General doesn't want to see anyone right now, you should leave." The middle-aged man said to Sihan in a cold voice.

"I have something to ask of him. I'll have to trouble you to pass it on to him." Sihan suppressed the anger in her heart and calmly said to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's expression immediately changed. He looked at Sihan in displeasure. "I said it already, our young general won't see anyone. If you don't leave, then I'll kick you out!"

Sihan ignored the middle-aged man as she strode towards the long corridor.

The middle-aged man didn't think that Sihan would actually ignore him. He immediately became angry and pointed at Sihan. "You!"

Sihan didn't even pay any attention to the middle-aged man as she continued walking forward.

"Throw them out of the general's manor!" The middle-aged man instructed the servants standing behind him coldly.

Sihan shot a sidelong glance at the servants and snorted inwardly. You think they can stop her just by themselves?

A dozen or so people immediately rushed forward to capture Sihan, but they were blocked by Lu Zhao, "You go first, I'll take care of this."

Although she knew that Lu Shao's efforts were more than enough to deal with these people, Sihan was still a bit worried as she instructed, "Be careful."

"Right." "Yes!" Lu Zhao responded as he attacked the dozen or so servants with the sword in his hand.

Sihan hurried to walk up the long corridor towards Gu Ziming's room. He hoped that Gu Ziming would be able to stay in the Purple Bamboo Great Pavilion.

Sihan ran to the Purple Bamboo Pavilion like she was jogging. When she saw the candles burning in the room, Sihan smiled in relief. Gu Ziming was truly in the room.
