Ultimate: Gangster Youth, starting with release from prison

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

"Calm down. They're just waiting for us to make a move so they can convict us. Let's cooperate first, then figure out a countermeasure. The chairman and I will go back with them. You go home and take care of Guan Yu. We can figure out how to handle the rest later," Lin Yu replied.

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and the two followed Li Ru and Meiniang away, leaving the Five Tiger Generals watching their departing figures with a sense of helplessness.

[342] In the Silver Dimension, Sun Shangxiang appears and instructs everyone.

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

"Hua Tuo, is this thing really going to work?" Zhang Fei asked.

“If you don’t understand, don’t speak. Guan Yu is seriously injured, and my medicine is very mild, which is most suitable for his current condition. This is my own creation,” Hua Tuo said confidently.

"It smells really good, and it looks delicious. I'd like to try it too," Ma Chao said with a smile.

Upon hearing the news, Diao Chan rushed over and saw Guan Yu half-naked in the pool. Her face flushed slightly, while Xiao Qiao teased Diao Chan from the side.

"Xiao Qiao, you just called and said Guan Yu was captured, why did you suddenly hang up?" Zhao Yun asked.

Xiao Qiao pointed to her nose, looking completely confused. "Me? I didn't call you! I only just heard that Guan Yu was injured."

"It must have been fabricated by Dong Zhuo. His intention was to lure us to Fengming Temple so that he could defeat us all," Huang Zhong speculated.

"Dong Zhuo is absolutely despicable! He even framed my elder brother and the guild leader. What should we do now?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Why don't we go and rescue the chairman and the eldest brother?" Ma Chao suggested, and Zhao Yun agreed.

Diao Chan stopped them, "Stay calm. Dong Zhuo is trying to trap us so he can attack us without any scruples. Let's go hear what the chairman and Brother Liu have to say tomorrow."

After hearing Diao Chan's words, everyone fell silent.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

A strange woman's voice rang out, and everyone looked around.

"Don't bother looking, you can't see me~ˇ".

"What's going on? Why is the speaker talking on its own?"

Zhang Fei recognized the voice as coming from the speaker, went over to investigate, and the speaker spoke again.

"Don't move."

Everyone was so frightened that they immediately moved away from the speakers, and Zhang Fei even fell on his backside.

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

The sound came from the speakers again.

"Look at us, have our Five Tigers become weak cats? A little trouble and we're all dejected."

"That means it's alive."

"Beautiful lady, who exactly are you?" Zhao Yun looked at the speaker and sensed the fluctuations of supernatural power.

"Hehe, guess who I am? Come to the backyard to meet me." A playful female voice came from the speakers.

"Brothers, let's go check out the fun in the backyard." Zhao Yun led the way to the back garden.

Upon arrival, a short-haired woman leisurely rode a white horse into view.

Xiao Qiao whispered to Diao Chan, "This girl has quite the style."

Diao Chan nodded slightly: "Indeed, she has a very elegant demeanor."

Zhang Fei joked, "She's a cool girl."

Zhao Yun stepped forward and asked, "Are you a relative of my Brother Liu?"

Upon hearing the question, the woman chuckled mischievously, "Hey, you're clever. But do you know why I've come here?"

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

"Of course we're here to help."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun bowed respectfully and asked, "Are you really here to help? May I ask your honorable name?"

The woman laughed and replied, "Oh dear, don't call me 'you' or anything like that, I was just teasing you."

Having said that, she leaped up lightly, placed one foot on the horse's head, and landed gracefully like a white crane spreading its wings. Xiao Qiao and Diao Chan were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, and Xiao Qiao clapped excitedly.

"My surname is Sun, my name is Shangxiang, and I am from Jiangdong High School. My father's name is Sun Wentai, and my brother is the Little Conqueror Sun Bofu. My father asked me to come and rescue Cao Cao, but I was not really willing to do so."

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

Sun Shangxiang retorted, "Hmph, who would want to come? If it weren't for Cao Cao's father begging my father, I wouldn't bother with it."

"Old Zhang, stop arguing. They're here to help."

“Miss Sun, the problem is that Dong Zhuo has framed the Chairman and Brother Liu for assassination, and there is false evidence. Do you have a solution?” Zhao Yun asked.

Sun Shangxiang paced back and forth in thought, then suddenly smiled, “I have an idea to break this deadlock.”

"Really?" Everyone was overjoyed.

Sun Shangxiang continued, "But we can only save one at most. Who do you think we should save?"

The group looked at each other, and Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "It's a tough decision, isn't it? Tomorrow I'll go find Cao Cao and Liu Bei first, and head back now." She then spurred her horse and rode away.

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

“I don’t know why, but I feel like she’s one of us,” Zhao Yun said.

“I feel the same way,” Xiao Qiao echoed.

"What do you guys think?" Zhang Fei looked around at the others (Zhao Lehao).

"Uncertain," Huang Zhong said.

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

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

"Strange, why only save one?" Ma Chao wondered.

Everyone stared at Sun Shangxiang's departing figure, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

On the other side, Li Ru and Meiniang led their troops to escort Cao Cao and Lin Yu to the prison cells of the Eastern Han Academy, a place with no gates or guards, allowing them to come and go as they pleased.

"Dong Zhuo is hoping we'll escape so he can punish us severely," Cao Cao sighed, looking at the simple environment.

Lin Yu smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Old Liu, you remain so calm and composed; you truly have courage," Cao Cao said admiringly.

[343] Imprisoned, Dong Zhuo deliberately set a trap!

"What's there to be afraid of? There's always a way out," Lin Yu replied.

"I fear the chances are slim; Dong Zhuo will make trouble during the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven," Cao Cao said worriedly.

"Let nature take its course. Don't worry, I will protect you." Lin Yu reassured Cao Cao.

The next day, Sun Shangxiang went to the cell where Lin Yu and the other man were being held. She saw that they were sitting quietly with their eyes closed and no one paid any attention to her, so she pouted and shouted.

"Hey!"

Cao Cao and Lin Yu opened their eyes and walked over. Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Greetings, you two. I am Sun Shangxiang, daughter of Sun Jian, the principal of Jiangdong High School, and sister of Sun Ce."

"Hello, I am Cao Cao."

"Hello, I am Liu Bei."

The two men returned the greeting with clasped hands.

“It was your father, Cao Song, who asked my father to send me to take you out,” Sun Shangxiang said to Cao Cao.

"Thank you very much," Cao Cao said with a smile.

Sun Shangxiang waved her hand: "Don't thank me yet. You are suspected of assassinating the principal. Even if you use connections, it won't work."

"Miss Sun, do you have any ideas?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.

"I checked with 723 and found out that the execution of the divine decree will take place in two days. There are two death warrants. Whether you draw one or not, you can't escape death, right?"

The two nodded.

“Don’t worry, I can save one person’s life. Who do you choose?” Sun Shangxiang asked.

“Of course we should protect Cao Cao. His father invited you here. If we don’t save him, who else should we save?” Lin Yu said.

“That makes sense.” Sun Shangxiang nodded.

"No, we'll live and die together," Cao Cao said resolutely.

“Alright, my method can save one person, and we’ll find another way for the other. Let’s save one first, and we’ll adapt to the situation with the other,” Sun Shangxiang explained, then told the two of them the plan before turning and leaving.

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

"This isn't a prison cell, there isn't even a door," Zhang Fei said, puzzled.

"Dong Zhuo is deliberately trying to make us escape," Cao Cao explained.

"Brother, President, are you (Aheg) alright?" Guan Yu asked with concern.
