Chapter 696
"Where is Sun Xiaomao?" Cheng Dalei, sitting slanted in his chair, asked.
Wu Yong came back to his senses and bowed, saying, "He is still in the dungeon."
Cheng Dalei stood up straight: "Take me to see him."
Wu Yong led Cheng Dalei down to the dungeon, which still held a number of prisoners. Some were soldiers who had seized the opportunity of the city breach to create havoc. Their offenses were not severe—undeserving of capital punishment, so they were temporarily confined. Others were the soldiers of Liangzhou City who had surrendered. Upon seeing Cheng Dalei enter, the bolder ones cursed loudly.
They walked deeper in and reached a cell. A young man with a pale and clean-shaven face was held inside, surprisingly, he was rather handsome. Seeing Cheng Dalei, he immediately knelt down and bow, refusing to rise.
Cheng Dalei looked at him through the prison bars and said, "Raise your head and look at me."
