Just as Gu Liang and his group entered the dungeon of Shang Zhen, one of the two powerful men of the Northern Jin Kingdom, Jian Zong Hongsheng, came to the cell where Shang Ran was imprisoned.

"See Hong Zong." When the guards saw the strong man coming, they bowed to him together.

"No need to be polite." Hong Sheng said, "The empire has come to ask the old thief Shang Zhen. I also took Shang Ran to ask questions on the order of the king."

"Why is Hong Zong coming to recommend people? Is there a letter from the lord or the Ministry of Justice?" the guards asked.

"The emissary is coming in a hurry. His Majesty the Lord and the Ministry of Justice have no time to issue a warrant, so they just told me to come." Hong Sheng looked dissatisfied, "Why, don't you believe what I said?"

"I dare not, I dare not." The two guards quickly let go.

Hong Sheng followed them into the cell. Fortunately, the cell was cleaner and tidy, and only Shang Ran was living in it. The prisoners were all women. Jincheng still gave this female war god of war in the Northern Jin Kingdom, the dignity he deserved.

"Hong Zong." Shang Ran was surprised and happy when he saw him come in.

"Your Highness." Hong Sheng looked serious, "It took so long to see you, you have suffered."

"I know, Master Hong, it's hard for you." Shang Ran asked silently, "What's wrong with them, they're going to do with my father?"

"Your Majesty...well, your father is still alive." Hong Sheng said.

"Then, that's good." Shang Ran felt a little relieved.

"The empire sent an envoy from the Immortal Division, and there was something to ask him." Hong Sheng said, "I heard that the empire no longer recognizes his status as a lord, but wants to rename the Jincheng." He paused, "In other words, your father is no longer recognized in the empire. You are no longer royal."

Shang Ran was mentally prepared for this and said sadly: "My father's position as the king of the country was usurped by the Jin clan. I am sensible and always feel guilty about it. It's better not to be the king of the country. I just hope that Jincheng can let him go on a phone call and let him live."

"Jincheng...even his former Immortal Lord can betray him deliberately, let alone Shang Zhen?" Hong Sheng's voice became heavier and heavier, "I will tell you a piece of news this time, that is, Jin Ling is dead."

"Dead?" Shang Ran was stunned for a moment and slid down weakly with the railing.

"Qinghan let him go, but Jincheng chased him reluctantly. It is said that he chased him to the Tengri Desert south of the Three Barbarians, a place called Menhui Ancient Tower, where he killed him and even his body was burned to ashes." Hong Sheng felt very sorry, "It's a pity that such a responsible and capable young man. His death was a huge loss to the Northern Jin Kingdom."

"If he fails to get the poison from Qing Han, he may not be surrendered like this!" Shang Ran said in pain with tears in his eyes.

"Your Highness, don't say these words now." Hong Sheng glanced at the prison guard and lowered his voice, "Jincheng has now held the power of the kingdom and is about to be enthroned by the empire. Jin Ling is dead, and no one in the kingdom can confront him. Now, I pretended to be ordered by Jincheng to take you to the empire to ask questions, and then take the opportunity to take you out of here."

Shang Ran nodded and asked immediately, "But my father..."

"Your Highness, your father's guards are tightly guarded, and Yan Kun and others have been peeping at me. I have no choice." Hong Sheng said, "What's more, you know that I have never liked his style of dealing with the Jin family. Your father killed too many people with the Jin surname back then. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as blood flowing into a river."

"In other words, he has been unhappy to his retribution when he has fallen to this point."

Shang Ran was speechless.

"Then my brothers and sisters..." Shang Ran said as soon as he spoke, he stopped. She knew that under the current circumstances, it was already thankful that Hong Sheng could save himself alone.

"Your Highness, take care of yourself." Hong Sheng said, "You have always known me. I have been determined since I was a child. My existence is to protect the people of the Northern Jin Kingdom. Whether it is the Shang family or the Jin family, as long as I do something that harms the interests of the people, I will stand up. However, I will not choose a side station, I will only choose the smallest price. If I do my best to help you Shang family, I will undoubtedly create divisions within the Northern Jin Kingdom. Just like the events of that day, if I fight to the death with the already powerful Jin father and son of Jincheng at that time, it will not be a good thing for the Northern Jin Kingdom."

Shang Ran understood the truth of Hong Sheng in pain.

"Let's go." Hong Sheng said.

So she walked out of the cage with her shackles. Then a magic force hit her, and the shackles of the iron were broken and fell to the ground.

"Master Hongzong." Seeing this, the prison guard quickly stepped forward, "This, Shang Ran, is the main criminal of the royal family. These shackles, these shackles cannot..."

"Your Majesty the king blames you, I will take responsibility for it." Hong Sheng said.

His reputation in the Northern Jin Kingdom showed that he was of high status and powerful. The jailer did not dare to offend such statements, so he had to let him take Shang Ran out.

After leaving this dungeon, Hong Sheng did not take her directly to the Shang Zhen cell where Jincheng and others were, but directly took her out of the prison. Although there were guards asking questions along the way, he kept making excuses on the grounds of Jincheng's life.

Until he left the palace, he quickly changed the clothes he had prepared for Shang Ran, changed her face, and sent her to sit on the prepared horse immediately, and asked someone to take her out of the city. Then he calmly returned to the prison.

The prison was already in chaos at this time, and guards were constantly searching everywhere. When they saw Hong Sheng, the guards were as if they were facing a great enemy and stepped forward to surround him.

At this time, there were guards in Shang Zhen’s cell where he was located to report the news.

"Hong Sheng let Shang Ran go?" Although Jincheng was surprised, he didn't care. "He has always had a good relationship with Jin Ling and Shang Ran, and it is not surprising that he has done this."

"Is it Hong Sheng, the new sword sect in the kingdom?" Gu Liang said lightly.

"That's right." Jincheng said, "This man has a lot of prestige in the Northern Jin Kingdom, so I can't attack him. Unexpectedly, he ended up..."

"It's no big deal to have a daughter of a former king." Jin Nanshan said.

Jincheng turned to Shang Zhen: "Old thief Shang Zhen, your daughter has escaped. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Shang Zhen said nothing.

Jincheng walked up to him: "It's not only him, but you are also deliberately trying to escape from prison. Fortunately, we discovered it and stopped it."

Shang Zhen widened his eyes, not knowing what he was talking about, and he still had no idea of ​​breaking away from prison.

Jin Ling looked at him: "Look at you, you are half disabled now, and you are not a human or a ghost. What's the point of living? Why not, I will send you directly to meet your ancestors and ancestors of Shang."
