    Jin Zhao didn't expect that Min Ce would watch him so closely, so he couldn't spread the news, and he didn't know the situation outside for the time being.

    Min Ce clung to Jin Zhao tightly, always remembering the hatred they were forced to flee during the Ping Liang battle, and he was finally dazzled by the hatred.

    Jin Zhao was taken by Min Ce's men to a cell with thatch, tied to a torture rack, and ordered to sprinkle fuel oil on the surrounding area. He stood aside and watched with a grim face.

    "Cui Jinzhao, I didn't expect you to fall into my hands after all." Min Ce's tone was full of sarcasm and complacency.

    With his hands bound, Jin Zhao sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to be so bold as to collude with the enemy."

    "A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Does the Emperor Great Liang treat me like that and expect me to work for him? I won't be so stupid, and I have to remind you, you think it's important for you to be named a general."You? It’s just to see that you are still useful, and when you are no longer useful, you will die without knowing how to die, and you will be a foolish dog.” Min Ce’s face was gloomy, and the depths of his eyes were full of gloom.

    "You can see it clearly, but do you think... that you will have a good life with Qixia Kingdom?"

    "You don't need to scare me here, as long as I make great contributions, I will definitely gain a foothold in Qi Xia."

    Even though he said that, there was a trace of uncertainty in his eyes, and now... even if he turned around, he would have nowhere to go.

    "I won't talk nonsense with you. I'm here to solve your problem today. If you weren't in the way, how could I have come to this point? You, the culprit, should be cut to pieces!"topic, Min Ce grabbed Jin Zhao's neck and stared at him coldly.

    Jin Zhao didn't have the slightest fear, even though he didn't have the Canglan Sword by his side at the moment, he had a faint feeling...he wouldn't just die here, so he tried to delay the time.

    "Don't you want to know where your daughter is now?"

    Mentioning Minzhen, Min Ce's men subconsciously relaxed, "Do you know where she is?"

    "Your daughter tried to assassinate me, but she killed herself and was executed as an assassin." Jin Zhao said deliberately.

    Hearing this, Min Ce's face was suddenly startled, "This is impossible!"

    "Why is it impossible? If you don't believe me, just ask."

    "Prince Qi Xia promised me that I would guarantee her safety and would not put her in danger. How could she take the risk to assassinate you?"

    Jin Zhao said: "I don't know about that, but Prince Qi Xia didn't tell you the news of her death. It seems...he doesn't believe you that much either."

    Jin Zhao deliberately disturbed his mind, trying to break free from the chain on his wrist while he was not paying attention.

    Hearing what he said so seriously, Min Ce's face turned half pale, and he hurriedly sent someone to ask the prince.

    After a while, he came back to his senses, looked at Jin Zhao with a cold face and said, "If something really happened to my daughter, it would be all because of you, you, the chief culprit, and we will not live in peace!"

    "It was you who deliberately picked things up, I just did what I should do."

    Min Ce blushed anxiously, and shouted: "Come on, light the fire!"

    The subordinate came in with a torch, and at the last moment, he persuaded him once, "Master, Prince Qi Xia said earlier that he would save this person's life first, and it would be of great use later, are you sure you want to..."

    "It's not a pity for this kind of person to die. Just burn it. When the time comes, I will say that the prison cell caught fire accidentally. He died in the sea of fire. Anyway, I have put our people in at various checkpoints. When we fight, they will naturally have us.s help."

    The subordinate obeyed the order and threw the torch on the pile of thatch without hesitation.

    In just a moment, the pile of dry thatch instantly ignited.

    Min Ce moved to the cell, looked at Jin Zhao with a dark smile and said, "Today I will let you die without a burial site!"

    After finishing speaking, he immediately left the cell, not forgetting to have the cell locked.

    The fire was burning extremely hot, with the dry thatch and fuel oil, the red fire snake rushed to Jin Zhao's side in an instant. Seeing this, the guards at the side hurriedly evacuated the cell for fear of harming him.

    Jin Zhao felt hot on his body and face, the smoke choked him almost out of breath, and his wrist was scratched by the chain with blood stains due to too much force.

    Just when the fire snake was about to burn to his body, there was a crisp sound from the cell door.

    Jin Zhao opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked in the direction of the cell door.

    He saw a man in a strong black suit chopping the iron chain on the door one after another, and the sound of iron objects colliding came to his ears one after another.

    The smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see the appearance of the man clearly. After an unknown period of time, the door was kicked open. When the man walked up to him, he could see the appearance of the man clearly.

    He never thought that he would meet him here, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

    Jin Zhao noticed that his face was tired and haggard, and his eyes were a little red.

    Shen Li didn't say anything, just glanced at Jin Zhao calmly, then picked up the saber, and cut the strong rope vigorously.

    Jin Zhao's eyes stared at him for a moment, thick smoke billowed, choking the two of them to cough non-stop, seeing that the door was about to be engulfed in flames, Jin Zhao pressed his forehead to his chin, and said with difficulty:"Don't worry about it, you won't be able to get out in a while."

    Shen Li turned a deaf ear to it, and chopped more vigorously, sweating profusely on his forehead.

    "Be obedient, you go out first, I'll be fine." Seeing that he didn't respond, Jin Zhao touched his chin again.

    Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, Jin Zhao noticed his flushed eye sockets, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you talk nonsense, I'll pull out your tongue!"

    Jin Zhao: ...

    After finishing speaking, he didn't know where the strength came from, and he slammed down the sword fiercely, and finally cut off the chain.

    Without saying a word, he grabbed Jin Zhao's hand and rushed out. Jin Zhao could barely see the path under his feet, and was dragged by him and staggered out of the cell.

    Jin Zhao's eyes were a little sore, he didn't know whether it was from the thick smoke or what, the pain was tight, and he could vaguely see the hand tightly held by him.

    Not long after the two escaped, a soldier went to put out the fire, and Shen Li dragged him to an empty room before stopping.

    Shen Li let go of his hand, turned around and closed the door tightly, after that... only the breathing of the two could be heard quietly, because they ran too fast just now and didn't slow down for a while.

    Immediately afterwards, he felt a pain in the palm of his hand, and he was actually held tightly by this man, grasping it extremely tightly.

    The atmosphere was silent for a long time, Jin Zhao rubbed his eyes, and finally saw the person in front of him clearly. At this moment, there seemed to be no suitable words in his mind, so he just asked stupidly: "Why are you here?"

    Shen Li's eyes turned cold, "If I don't come, will you really be buried in that fire prison?"

    "It's not... that serious." Anyway, he has a self-defense system, so it shouldn't be easy for him to have an accident, but Shen Li doesn't know about it.

    These words sounded like a lack of confidence in Shen Li's ears, which made Shen Li even more worried and fearful, and this time... made him see something clearly.
