In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

The two brothers entered the house with tinder, and looked carefully above their heads. There was no dense net. They checked behind the door and under the window at the corner of the table, but there was no one there.

Peng Tuojiang walked straight towards the wall near the private room. Without any thought, he chopped down the tall cabinet blocking the wall with a sword.

In an instant, misty smoke floated out like a ghost in the dark night. He covered his face with his hands and walked quickly in the opposite direction.

Peng Tuojiang felt that since all the houses were connected, the enemy would not be able to run far in the darkness.

He pretended that he couldn't find it, and then shouted, "No one, go to the first floor to check."

Several brothers made a loud noise while walking, leaving only a little light, and they replied, "Yes."

Peng Tuojiang stood on the side of the second tall cabinet. He stabbed the sword into the cabinet a little, and then waved the black cloth in the gap of the cabinet.

Peng Tuojiang held the sword and quickly opened the cabinet door. With a whoosh, the sleeve arrow shot straight into the cloth in the center of the gap of the cabinet door.

Peng Tuojiang flashed out from the side, grabbed the thief with one hand, and saw in the light of the fire that the man was Zhou Sili.

Peng Tuojiang's tense mind finally relaxed a little. He wanted to chop off Zhou Sili's head, but it was too much trouble tonight, and there were still many Youzhou soldiers outside.

He wanted to use Zhou Sili to leave here.

Zhou Sili asked unconvincedly: "How did you get into the city?"

Peng Tuojiang couldn't tell Zhou Sili. He thought, "Of course I killed the people you wanted to send to Youzhou to assassinate King Xi on the way. I got their token to return to the city."

"Money makes the devil work. The greedy devil let us into the city when he saw the token and the money, but he choked to death at home! Where are there no traitors and spies?"

Zhou Sili heard someone report to Sheng Panzhu that the soldier guarding the city gate had died.

They were worried that there might be a spy, so they sent someone to investigate, and eventually they found that the soldier had something stuck in his throat.

Peng Tuojiang blocked Zhou Sili's mouth and tied him up, then they took Zhou Sili downstairs.

A soldier from the Fire Slayer Army came to report: "General Peng, those ten dancers have committed suicide by taking poison."

Peng Tuojiang turned to the Zhuozhou soldiers who surrounded them and said, "This man is the emperor's brother-in-law. If he dies, the emperor will just kill you!"

The soldiers from Zhuozhou were at a loss. When they saw Zhou Sili nod to indicate that they should not stop them, they had no choice but to let them pass.

Before leaving, Peng Tuojiang looked back at Liu Jiangyue. He thought Liu Jiangyue should know some clues, so he ordered the soldiers: "Tie up the woman and take her away!"

Liu Jiangyue stretched out her arm on her own initiative, and Shi Yanjun wrapped a thin rope around her wrist several times.

Peng Tuojiang held Zhou Sili hostage and walked towards the city gate. He saw a few horses running towards him in the distance and he thought they were their horses.

When the man came closer, Peng Tuojiang could see clearly that it was Sheng Panzhu. He had seen Sheng Panzhu before when he followed Chen Xuan.

Peng Tuojiang had a lot of beard from his lower jaw to his chin, and his eyebrows were connected together, so most people couldn't recognize him.

Sheng Panzhu thought Peng Tuojiang looked familiar, so he asked, "My dear brother, Lord Zhou is the cousin of the Queen, and he is the Minister of Taxation sent by His Majesty to the Ministry of Revenue."

"As long as you are willing to hand over Lord Zhou, I will let you leave the city."

Peng Tuojiang didn't believe what the shameless person said. If Sheng Panzhu was an honest official, he would have paid all the taxes in Zhuozhou long ago. Why would he still owe them until now?

Why did Sheng Panzhu appear at this time?

The swords in the hands of Peng Tuojiang and several soldiers were pressed against Zhou Sili's chest and neck.

He looked at Sheng Panzhu with contempt and said, "Then let your Majesty come and kill me. I am a bandit named Er Mazi."

Zhou Sili stood on tiptoe and jumped, his body twisting like a water snake, and his pleading eyes stared at Sheng Panzhu.

He mumbled through his blocked mouth: "Master Sheng, save me."

Sheng Panzhu gave him a firm look back, meaning, I will definitely save you, we are tied together, don't worry!

Peng Tuojiang held Zhou Sili's arm tightly, and the Shiyan Army and Youzhou soldiers protected him and Zhou Sili in the middle.

Several people were staring at Peng Tuojiang's head. Peng Tuojiang walked quickly towards the city wall, but his speed was still too slow. He was worried about being shot while riding a horse.

The two sides confronted each other like this for more than half an hour. The shops on both sides of the long street had already closed, and the sound of swords clanging in the wind could be vaguely heard.

Every time Sheng Panzhu rode a distance, he would point at Peng Tuojiang and yell, "I've told you, if you release Lord Zhou, I'll let you go."

Peng Tuojiang felt that Sheng Panzhu was a little weird. He should have begged him in a nice voice to release his brother-in-law who was the emperor's cousin, but he pointed at his nose and scolded him, as if to provoke him.

Are they two acting together?

Peng Tuojiang finally approached the city gate. When the soldiers on the tower saw Sheng Panzhu riding over, they all knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Governor."

Sheng Panzhu waved his hand, and his wide sleeves swung out the momentum of thousands of troops under the moonlight.

Unlike his usual gentle tone, his voice was particularly rough: "They have kidnapped the Queen's cousin Zhou Sili. Let them out of the city and report to His Majesty as fast as possible that Lord Zhou has been abducted by Prince Xi."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers in front of the city gate immediately opened the two doors, and someone went out of the city gate before Peng Tuojiang. The horses those soldiers rode were all strong and fast horses, and they headed towards Sheng'an City.

Zhou Sili looked coldly at Sheng Panzhu in the dark night. They knew that Mu Jinan would not come here, so both sides sent their confidants to lurk in the two states.

Now that he was caught by Peng Tuojiang, Sheng Panzhu got rid of his biggest worry!

Zhou Sili thrust his chin forward and cursed, "You're crossing the river and then destroying the bridge. Bah! You dog Shengguan, just wait!"

"Release Lord Zhou." Sheng Panzhu continued to defend Zhou Sili in front of everyone. He pointed at Peng Tuojiang and forced them out of the city gate.

The smile that Sheng Panzhu suppressed on his lips was about to make all the crabapple flowers in Zhuozhou City bloom. He finally sent away Zhou Sili, the plague god.

Sheng Panzhu thought, "It will take several days for Zhou Sili's memorial with the official seal to reach Sheng'an. Your Majesty knows that I want to send silver to Sheng'an, so even if he sends another court official, it will take some time."

"Zhou Sili, that bastard, humiliated me by asking me to pick up the date pits he had left over. Should I give him silver? Even the Bodhisattva would laugh at me!"

Sheng Panzhu has been a local tyrant in Zhuozhou during his years as an official. How could he have ever been insulted by anyone?

That day he poured the ginseng tea on the ground, which meant he decided to eventually abandon this chess piece.

No matter what the situation is next, it will not affect his dealing with Zhou Sili.

All the Zhuozhou soldiers saw was Sheng Panzhu being forced to open the city gate.

In just three days, rumors would spread throughout Zhuozhou City and the world that Sheng Panzhu was extremely righteous and Mu Jinan had kidnapped officials and caused chaos!

Peng Tuojiang had walked to the dark city gate. He looked at the soldiers on both sides of Sheng Panzhu holding torches. The flickering light was reflected in Sheng Panzhu's smiling eyes.

Peng Tuojiang suddenly said something bad: "Master Sheng, since you care so much about Zhou Sili and are loyal to His Majesty, why don't you replace Zhou Sili and I will let him go."

Sheng Panzhu's smile that bloomed in the spring died just like that. Shadowy heads floated in his eyes and his face was filled with fatigue and anger.

He had been playing with these people for most of the night and could have gone back to rest, but the other party had outwitted him and put him in a difficult position.
