Chapter 259: Chapter 156: Prince Mu Causes Trouble
Inside the firewood room of the prison, Yuan Bao, upon seeing Dong Lei, was so excited that he became speechless.
He hugged two pork buns and started devouring them greedily!
“Xiao… hmm… Lei Zi, you always know how to show compassion. I didn’t care for you in vain.” Yuan Bao gratefully looked at Dong Lei as he ate.
It’s in adversity that true feelings are revealed, and these are true feelings!
There are many to kick a man when he’s down, but few to offer help in the snow. Yuan Bao’s vision was just that good, spotting a gem in Xiao Lei Zi, who even brought food to the prison!
Actually, Yuan Bao, you might be overthinking it. Isn’t yours the talent of identifying good food rather than spotting gems?

“Yuan Bao, let me tell you, I have now mastered the Sword Qi, it’s incredibly powerful! I sneaked all the way here, and none of the guards were my match!” Seeing Yuan Bao eating joyfully, Dong Lei’s confidence soared as he proudly shared his progress.
“Really?” Yuan Bao expressed deep skepticism.
The firewood room is just behind the kitchen, merely a hundred meters away at most, how many guards could there have been?
“Of course it’s true!” Dong Lei defensively slapped his chest, assured.
“Then can you help me break out of jail? This place is terrifying, no food, no place to sleep, no blankets, no water. Xiao Lei Zi, help me break out!” Yuan Bao swallowed the remaining pork bun in one gulp and desperately clung to this last straw.
“No can do, Lady Changsheng locked you up, and if I secretly let you out, I’d be the next one in here,” Dong Lei said sympathetically, shaking his head as she didn’t want to end up locked up in the firewood room.
“How could that be! Xiao Lei Zi, Lady Changsheng said she’d starve me for two meals, but now it’s been four meals already. This is clearly over the limit. She must have forgotten about me being locked up here; please, do me a favor and let me out.” Yuan Bao put his hands together, begging pitifully.
The punishment of cutting off food was too harsh, far exceeding the pain of confinement.
It must be said, Yuan Bao was truly desperate.
He was the unfortunate one who had been forgotten.
Thinking of an empty stomach, Dong Lei’s sympathy for Yuan Bao skyrocketed. Being hungry was indeed the most pitiable thing in the world. Should she rescue Yuan Bao from dire straits?
“Xiao Lei Zi, if you let me out, I’ll make you Shark Fin Mushrooms and West Lake Big Carp, lots and lots of them!” Facing the window and knowing Dong Lei’s weakness well, Yuan Bao continued to tempt him.
He still had things to clarify with Lady Changsheng. He didn’t even know if his master was back yet; how could he stay locked up forever?
No, he had to get out!
He definitely and certainly had to get out!
Hearing about the Shark Fin Mushrooms and West Lake Big Carp, Dong Lei’s eyes immediately lit up and he swallowed his saliva, “Really? You’re not lying to me?”
“Of course, a gentleman’s word is his bond!” Seeing her tempted, Yuan Bao excitedly almost made a solemn oath.
Dong Lei glanced him over skeptically, shaking her head, “Lady Changsheng has said, you hardly qualify as a gentleman.”
Yuan Bao immediately gave her an incredulous look. Lady Changsheng! That’s not the way to slander someone!
“Yuan Bao, even if I let you out, it’s no use. There are guards every three steps outside, five steps and another post; you simply can’t run away. If they know you’ve escaped, you’ll definitely end up locked back in here very soon.” Dong Lei thought ahead for once.
“Isn’t that where you come in? You’ve mastered the Sword Qi, a true expert—you can definitely protect me!” Seeing Dong Lei talk like this, Yuan Bao followed up eagerly, though feeling a bit guilty as he spoke.
His words successfully ignited Dong Lei’s lofty pride. Always being the one protected, Dong Lei seldom had the chance to consider herself a protector and instantly began to show off some impressive knife skills.
Yuan Bao watched Dong Lei juggling her knives, anxious at heart, but if he dared throw cold water on her now, the jailbreak would definitely be off, and who knew when he would get out or when he could see Lady Changsheng!
Therefore, Yuan Bao was a supportive audience, applauding and cheering.
Furthermore, Dong Lei was satisfied, decisively decided to help Yuan Bao escape.
Even if Lady Changsheng found out, the worst she could do was cry a bit, which shouldn’t be too serious.
With that thought, Dong Lei put in quite an effort and finally managed to chop open the window of the firewood room.
But Yuan Bao, oh his bulky figure! His round body only made it halfway through before getting stuck in the window, and it was only with Dong Lei’s vigorous pulling that he finally managed to break free and successfully escaped from jail.
After starving through four meals and merely padding himself with two pork buns, Yuan Bao followed Dong Lei unsteadily, utterly amazed to experience what it meant to be a real expert!
