"Big Brother, let’s fight them," Zhang Fei said to Lin Yu.

"Calm down, they are just hoping we will take action so they can convict us. Let’s cooperate first, then think of a countermeasure. The President and I will go back with them, you all go home and take care of Guan Yu, and we will think of how to solve the rest later," Lin Yu replied.

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and the two went away with Li Ru and Meiniang. The Five Tiger Generals watched their backs helplessly.

[342] Silver Dimension, Sun Sun Shangxiang appears to instruct everyone

In the Cao residence, the seriously injured and unconscious Guan Yu was placed in a pool by Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo poured medicinal liquid into the water and added many flower petals, and Guan Yu’s tightly locked brows gradually relaxed.

"Hua Tuo, does this stuff really work?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Don't talk if you don't understand. Guan Yu is seriously injured, my medicine is very mild and most suitable for his current condition. This is something I created myself," Hua Tuo said confidently.

"It really smells good, it looks quite nice, I want to soak in it too," Ma Chao laughed.

Diao Chan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, looked at Guan Yu soaking half-naked in the pool, her face slightly flushed. Xiao Qiao was teasing Diao Chan on the side.

"Xiao Qiao, you said on the phone just now that Guan Yu was caught, why did you hang up so suddenly?" Zhao Yun asked.

Xiao Qiao pointed at her own nose, looking confused, "Me? I didn't call you! I just heard about Guan Yu’s injury too."

"It must have been forged by Dong Zhuo. What he wanted to do was lure us to Fengming Temple so he could defeat us all," Huang Zhong speculated.

"Dong Zhuo is simply too hateful, and he even framed Big Brother and the President. What should we do now?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Should we just go over and rescue the President and Big Brother?" Ma Chao suggested, and Zhao Yun also expressed agreement.

Diao Chan stopped them, "We must be calm. Dong Zhuo wants us to fall into his trap so he can take action against us without any scruples. Tomorrow we will go and listen to what the President and Brother Liu think."

Hearing Diao Chan’s words, everyone stopped talking.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

A strange woman’s voice sounded, and everyone looked around.

"Don't look, you can't see me."

"What is going on? Why is the speaker talking by itself?"

Zhang Fei realized the voice came from the speaker and walked over to look. The speaker spoke again.

"Don't move around."

Everyone was so scared they pulled away from the speaker, and Zhang Fei even fell on his butt.

Zhang Fei turned and asked everyone, "Why can this thing talk?"

The voice came from the speaker again.

"Look, could it be that our Five Tiger Generals have become weak cats? A little bit of wind and waves, and the whole team is depressed."

"That’s not alive."

"Beauty, who exactly are you?" Zhao Yun looked at the speaker, sensing the fluctuation of power.

"Hehe, guess who I am? Come to the backyard to see me quickly," a playful female voice came from the speaker.

"Brothers, let’s go to the backyard to see the excitement," Zhao Yun led the way to the back garden.

After everyone arrived, they saw a short-haired woman riding a white horse into view leisurely.

Xiao Qiao said softly to Diao Chan: "This girl has style."

Diao Chan nodded slightly: "Indeed, very charismatic."

Zhang Fei laughed: "A cool chick."

Zhao Yun stepped forward to ask: "Are you a relative of my Brother Liu?"

Hearing the question, the woman laughed mischievously: "Heh, you’re smart. But do you know why I came?"

Zhang Fei tilted his head and said, "I don't know!"

"Of course, I came to help."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun cupped his hands in salute: "Are you really here to help? May I ask your name?"

The woman answered with a smile: "Oh, don't call me 'you' or anything, I was just teasing you."

After saying that, she jumped up lightly, stepped on the horse’s head with one foot, and landed gracefully like a white crane spreading its wings. Xiao Qiao and Diao Chan were so surprised their mouths couldn't close, and Xiao Qiao even clapped excitedly.

"My surname is Sun, called Sun Shangxiang, from Jiangdong High School. My father’s name is Sun Wentai, and my brother is the Little Overlord Sun Bofu. My father told me to come and save Cao Cao, although I wasn't very willing."

Zhang Fei muttered: "If you didn't want to come, then don't."

Sun Sun Shangxiang retorted: "Hmph, who wants to come? If it weren't for Cao Cao’s father begging my dad, I wouldn't bother."

"Old Zhang, don't argue, she is here to help."

"Miss Sun, the problem is that Dong Zhuo framed the President and Brother Liu for assassination, and there is fake evidence. Do you have a way?" Zhao Yun asked.

Sun Sun Shangxiang paced and pondered, then suddenly smiled, "I have an idea to break the situation."

"Really?" Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Sun Sun Shangxiang continued: "But I can only save one person at most. Who do you think should be saved?"

Everyone looked at each other. Sun Sun Shangxiang laughed: "It’s a tough choice, right? Tomorrow I will go and find Cao Cao and Liu Bei first. I’m going back now." She then jumped on her horse and left.

"Old Zhao, is she trustworthy?" Zhang Fei could only ask Zhao Yun now, after all, his Big Brother had been taken away and his Second Brother was seriously injured.

"I don't know why, but I feel like she is one of us," Zhao Yun said.

"I have the same feeling," Xiao Qiao echoed.

"What do you all think?" Zhang Fei looked around at the others.

"Not sure," Huang Zhong said.

"Does she really have the ability to save people?" Diao Chan was skeptical.

"To be precise, she can save one person," Xiao Qiao corrected.

"Strange, how can she only save one?" Ma Chao was puzzled.

Everyone stared at Sun Sun Shangxiang’s receding figure, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.

On the other side, Li Ru and Meiniang led troops to escort Cao Cao and Lin Yu to the prison of Donghan Academy, a place with no doors and no guards, where one could come and go freely.

"Dong Zhuo is hoping we will escape, so he can punish us for a serious crime," Cao Cao sighed, looking at the crude environment.

Lin Yu smiled lightly and said nothing.

"Old Liu, you are actually so calm, you really have guts," Cao Cao said with admiration.

[343] Thrown into prison, Dong Zhuo deliberately designs a trap!

"What is there to fear? When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road," Lin Yu replied.

"I’m just afraid the hope is slim; Dong Zhuo will make a big deal out of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony," Cao Cao said worriedly.

"Let nature take its course. Don't worry, I will keep you safe," Lin Yu comforted Cao Cao.

The next day, Sun Sun Shangxiang ran to the prison where Lin Yu and the other were held. Seeing the two sitting with their eyes closed and ignoring her, she pouted and shouted.

"Hey!"

Cao Cao and Lin Yu opened their eyes and walked over. Sun Sun Shangxiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Hello, you two. I am Sun Sun Shangxiang, daughter of Jiangdong High School Principal Sun Jian, and sister of Sun Ce."

"Hello, I am Cao Cao."

"Hello, I am Liu Bei."

The two cupped their hands in return.

"It was your father, Cao Song, who begged my dad to send me to take you out," Sun Sun Shangxiang said to Cao Cao.

"Then thank you very much," Cao Cao said with a smile.

Sun Sun Shangxiang waved her hand: "Don't thank me yet. You are suspected of assassinating the principal; even going through the back door is useless."

"Miss Sun, I wonder if you have any way?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.

"I investigated and found that the Heaven’s Mandate Judgment will be executed in two days. Two death sentences; whether you draw or don't draw, you can't escape death, right?"

The two nodded.

"Don't worry, I can ensure one person lives. Who do you choose?" Sun Sun Shangxiang asked.

"Naturally, save Cao Cao. It was his father who asked you to come, if not save him, then who?" Lin Yu said.

"That makes sense too." Sun Sun Shangxiang nodded.

"No, we live and die together," Cao Cao said firmly.

"Alright, my method can save one person, the other will have to find another way. Save one first, and the other will adapt to circumstances," Sun Sun Shangxiang explained, then told the two the plan and turned to leave.

Not long after Sun Sun Shangxiang left, the Five Tiger Generals, Diao Chan, and Xiao Qiao came to find Cao Cao and Lin Yu.

"This is a prison? There isn't even a door," Zhang Fei said, puzzled.

"Dong Zhuo wants to deliberately let us escape," Cao Cao explained.

"Big Brother, President, are you okay?" Guan Yu asked with concern.
