witch chaotic country

Chapter 699
After Tan Chengbo was tied up, he was still completely dazed.His first reaction was that Tan invited Yu to rebel.But it's not right, yesterday my father was still preparing to go to Qingzhou to invite a miracle doctor for the emperor...

Could it be? !Could it be that his father lied to him? !Could it be that father knew that Tan Yaoyu had rebelled, and then fled with only his elder brother and second elder brother? !At this moment, Tan Chengbo only felt that five thunders were on his top!The more I think about it, the more I feel that this must be the case.

He immediately shouted his grievances: "This matter has nothing to do with the lower officials! You know, my lord, that the lower officials have always been loyal to you and the emperor, and have no second thoughts! There must be some misunderstanding!"

Although the servants of the Tan Mansion didn't know the reason, they couldn't just let King Pengcheng come and take Xiao Lang away.While stopping the guards of the palace to prevent them from taking Tan Chengbo away, he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a message to Jiang.

When Mrs. Jiang heard that her son had been tied up by King Pengcheng, she didn't care about her appearance, so she rushed out wrapped in a cloak, wondering if the sleeper on the door was in a daze.Seeing that the man was indeed tied up, Mrs. Jiang panicked.

"My lord! What's going on, my lord?! Our Chengbo has never done anything wrong! I met my side concubine a few days ago, and she praised our Chengbo for taking on a big responsibility. Why? Are you tied up today?"

King Pengcheng snorted coldly, sat on his horse, looked down at Jiang and said, "Tan Chengbo, the youngest son of the Tan family, instigated the crown prince to practice witchcraft on the emperor. Now that the crown prince has confessed his guilt, how dare you argue?! Let Tan Daoji come out quickly. See me, otherwise I will stop blaming me for being rude!"

At this time, Mrs. Jiang had lost her mind. She abetted the crown prince and murdered the emperor. What a crime!She was so focused on saving her son that she didn't think about it at this time, so she said without thinking, "My general... my general is worried about the emperor's body. He packed up his things after receiving the imperial decree last night, and went to the pier before dawn today. Oh, there must be a mistake! There must be a mistake somewhere!"

King Pengcheng didn't expect that he got up early in the morning, but he was still in vain. Anxiety and annoyance followed one after another, for fear that Tan Daoji would just run away.

He ignored the growing discussion among the people, and directly ordered Tan Chengbo to be bound to the pier, intending to use Tan Chengbo to force Tan Daoji to submit.

It was Zhu Yuanyuan's idea for Tan Daoji to leave Beijing ahead of time. The epidemic in Qingzhou area has not subsided, and it is inevitable that he will be infected by land.It just so happened that the Zhu family had a boat going to Qingzhou this morning, going down the current, probably faster than riding a horse.

So before dawn, Tan Daoji took Tan Zhi and Tan Can to the pier, only to miss it with King Pengcheng's men.

As soon as Tan Daoji left, King Pengcheng led his troops to surround Tan Mansion.The people Zhu Yuanyuan originally arranged to be near Tan Mansion immediately spread the news to Zhu's shop.

Zhu Yuanyuan woke up instantly from her hangover from the previous night, jumped into a carriage and drove to the pier!Along the way, the coachman almost pulled the horse's butt, and had to meet Tan Daoji before King Pengcheng.

But Zhu Yuanyuan didn't expect that she was still one step too late.Zimo stood on the pier with a sword in his hand, and was asking Tan Daoji to go with him, "The sluice gate and the city gate have all received orders from King Pengcheng. No matter who it is today, no one can enter or leave the city gate until you are captured, General. Please hurry up!" Get ashore quickly, follow me to hide for a while, and then try to get out of the city."

"No!" Zhu Yuanyuan immediately shouted loudly when he saw Zimo's back: "You must never listen to this person!"

The two walkers who were protecting Zhu Yuanyuan were one step faster.Before Zhu Yuanyuan finished speaking, the two of them had already gone straight to Zimo!

Zimo moved very quickly, but although he blocked the attacking moves of the two walkers, he did not fight back, nor dodge. He only shouted to Tan Daoji: "Please go ashore quickly to avoid it, the general, if you wait a little longer, Pengcheng The king's soldiers are coming!"

A traveler who confronted Zimo immediately said: "You have already taken refuge in King Pengcheng and become a lackey of the Zoroastrianism. Liang Weng's bones are not cold yet, and you still have to pretend? If General Tan goes with you today, I'm afraid it will be directly You're locked in a dungeon!"

Tan Daoji wondered: "What's going on? Zimo grew up with Yu'er, and we are like family members. How could he belong to King Pengcheng? Why did King Pengcheng arrest this general?"

Zhu Yuanyuan shook his head while wiping his sweat, "Forgive me for the details, but I only know that when King Pengcheng surrounded the Tan mansion, he arrested Tan Chengbo and said that he 'taught the prince to practice witchcraft on the emperor'."

Tan Daoji made a "buzz" in his head. Although he knew that Yaozi's behavior had become more and more outrageous in recent years, he thought that Tan Chengbo had learned to be good from being punished for being greedy for ink. He didn't expect this kid to do such a rebellious thing!
"It's because I neglected to discipline him... The son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault... If Cheng Bo really committed such a serious crime, I should follow King Pengcheng into the palace to plead guilty to the emperor."

Zhu Yuanyuan's little eyes widened, where have you ever seen someone who sent herself to die!Just as she was about to persuade her, Zimo preemptively said: "This is a trap designed by King Pengcheng! Regardless of whether you plead guilty or not, General Pengcheng, King Pengcheng intends to kill the grass and put the blame on the Tan family. Tan Chengbo is also the same. If you are framed, General, please go ashore quickly, even if you want to argue before the emperor, you have to escape the catastrophe first!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanyuan became confused.It's hard to tell whether Zimo is an enemy or a friend, but at this time time is waiting for no one, she hurriedly said: "Anyway, the general, please go ashore first, and go to Zhu's shop to avoid the limelight, and then we can discuss how to do it later!"

"No!" Zimo immediately denied, "Since King Pengcheng has decided to launch an attack, he will definitely not let it go. If he can't find anyone at the pier, he will search the whole city. The Zhu family has long been tied to the girl. If Hiding the general in Zhu's house will only lead to death."

Although Zhu Yuanyuan knew that what Zimo said was true, it was hard to believe it completely.She looked at the two walkers, and saw that they were also frowning.Not knowing what to do, he heard a woman's voice not far away.

"Mr. Zimo is innocent! Liang Lu was the one who betrayed Liang Weng and let the Fire Worship Cult find the Red Dragon!"

Zhu Yuanyuan turned his head to look for the sound, and saw Mo Yao galloping towards him, handed a roll of bamboo slips into Zhu Yuanyuan's hands, and said straight to the point: "This Liang Lu is the grandson of Liang Weng. He was sent to Jiankang to study. Later, he frequently communicated with the three religions, and was targeted by the Fire Worship Cult. In order to exchange the hallucinogenic elixir from the Fire Worship Cult, he told the story of Qiuchi Water Prison. This person ate There are too many phantom drugs, I am afraid that he will not be alive for a few days, this volume is his confession."

Zimo probably didn't expect that at this critical moment, it was Mo Yao who cleared his charges for him. He first frowned slightly, and then nodded his head to Mo Yao to express his gratitude.

Mo Yao seemed to have received a great reward, and a bright smile appeared on his thin face.

Zhu Yuanyuan knew that now she had to make a decisive decision.She looked at the two walkers, then looked at Zimo, and finally said: "I believe you will never hurt the girl. You should know how much the girl will be hit if the general makes any mistakes."

Zimo's pupils gradually deepened, "I never betrayed her."
