The Yulin Army in the cell looked disheveled and dusty, even the armor on their bodies had been stripped away by the prison guards, leaving only the sleeveless tunic underneath. He looked up at Chen Ji, unsure if he heard correctly, and for a moment didn’t dare to speak rashly.

Jin Zhu rolled his eyes, crossing his hands behind his back, and glanced at Chen Ji: "The Chen family boy wants to play hero? Do you know what this place is? This is my Inner Court Imperial Prison! Rescuing you alone is not easy; the agreement didn’t say to rescue these people. Don’t make it difficult for me."

Chen Ji cupped his hands and said, "I ask Lord Jin Zhu to be lenient. I will certainly repay you handsomely."

Jin Zhu surveyed the surrounding cells, pointing at each humble soldier inside and sneered: "In my Spy Department Imperial Prison, if you have the ability, you’d have already gotten out without needing your help; those who can’t get out have no skills. What use is there in saving them?"

Having said that, he looked at the Yulin Army in the cell before him: "What’s your name? What does your family do?"

Jin Zhu sneered: "A tenant’s child, no wonder you couldn’t get out."
