While Lu Chongde was worrying about the battle outside, a sudden burst of chaotic noise erupted from outside the cell.
Screams rang out, and the clashing of weapons melded into a continuous uproar.
"Governor! Governor!"
Moments later, a group of soldiers burst into the dungeon, and all the jailers were chopped down to the ground.
Lu Chongde stood up abruptly, looking toward the soldiers outside the cell.
"Who are you?"
Before he could speak, Ji He shouted out a question from beside him.
The leading soldier glanced at Ji He, at first startled, then shouted, "General Ji, the humble Bazong Zuo Wan of the Right Camp pays respect to General Ji!"
"Zuo Wan!" Ji He stared at Zuo Wan in a daze.
Zuo Wan hacked open the cell's door lock, "Quickly unlock General Ji's shackles!"
A flurry of soldiers then surged into the cell to release Ji He from his shackles.
