Time Travel: My Lord, Your Missing Fiancee Is Back

The news that the Zhulong Guild was confronting the Zhou family reached Lingshi Valley. Zhou Xuanling smashed the white jade table in front of him with a palm, "What a big tone!"

Zhou Zehu's eyebrows were furrowed, "Old Ancestor, the Zhulong Guild is just a newly established three-person guild. No matter how fiercely they shout, they just want to take advantage of the Qin King's anger to vent their anger. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Things in Weizhou are imminent. Although the King of Qin is still alive, the news that he was assassinated has spread throughout the country.

The governor has been arrested and his military power has been confiscated. We have missed the best opportunity to nail the King of Qin to death on the road of treason and bandits.

Next, why don't we advance our plans, abandon all arrangements here, stop rebelling in the local area, lead our men straight to Huanglong, kill our way to the capital, and force the emperor to abdicate."

Zhou Xuanling thought, we must rebel.

But now, the timing is wrong, everything is wrong.

Since the King of Qin had been hiding his whereabouts all the way, and Emperor Chengwu had not issued a clear order, he should have been investigating secretly. But he suddenly used the Mercenary Association to spread the news of the assassination to the whole country.

The Mercenary Association had obviously been jointly controlled by them and the governor of the state. The news of the assassination of King Qin should not have been released through the Mercenary Association, let alone involving the Zhou family.

But it happened!

The news they received was that the King of Qin only brought 100 palace guards and 500 imperial guards. So they sent 1,000 elite soldiers to kill the King of Qin.

They were sure to win, but they had planned everything, but they didn't expect that old man Jiang Wenhua would be willing to waste his own cultivation to make so many thunder balls! This caused them to fail at the last moment.

Send out another 3,000 men. Even if the Weizhou garrison is full of losers, they should be able to drown the King of Qin and his entourage with just a spit from each of them.

As a result, the Weizhou garrison lacked experience in air combat and insufficient combat capability, and could only watch helplessly as the enemy circulated back and forth on the edge of the range, unable to achieve any success.

He mobilized another 20,000 troops, but they were intercepted right after they left the camp...

What was originally a sure thing was completely out of their control!

Zhou Xuanling: "Retreat! Retreat to Lingshi Valley. Cut off all ties with the governor!"

Wei Zhoumu never dreamed that the Zhou family would give up on him! He approached Zhou Zejin angrily and roared in a low voice: "How can you cross the river and destroy the bridge? Have you forgotten who helped you in the first place..."

"You also said that you were doing it for us... We didn't ask you to do it, you wanted to do it yourself, what does it have to do with us? Sir Zhang,"

Zhou Zejin touched the jade pendant on his waist and said, "You should confess your guilt. Tell His Royal Highness the King of Qin all the crimes you have committed and try to get him a break so that your family can live!"

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned and couldn't believe it. "You, you...you are really devils!" He grabbed the cell bars and said, "What did you do to them? What did you do to them?"

Zhou Zejin took a step back and wiped the saliva off his face. "Master Zhang, please don't talk nonsense. Our Zhou family is highly regarded by His Majesty and has always been a law-abiding citizen. I don't understand what you are saying."

"How can you treat me like this?" Zhang Chaoyang said in despair, "I have done so much for you..."

"Master Zhang, be careful with your words! You have been trying to curry favor with our Saint. Our Saint is aloof and noble, and would not associate with you. Don't talk nonsense!"

As he spoke, he touched the jade pendant around his waist.

After Zhou Zejin left, Zhang Chaoyang fell to the ground, thought for a moment, and suddenly got angry and banged his head against the wall...

The wall collapsed.

The cell collapsed.

After being dug out from the dungeon ruins, Zhang Chaoyang, who was covered in dirt, was still confused. When did the walls of this dungeon become so vulnerable?

Did his servants swallow up the money for the repairs, or... In a short time, the faces and personalities of the Beijia Gongshi, Zhizhong Gongshi, and the Gongcao flashed through his mind, as well as their daily deeds...

Two hours later, Shang Nan held a stack of confessions:

"Your Highness, after Zhou Zejin met with the governor, the governor confessed that he was responsible for everything, including killing Your Highness, secretly transferring troops, destroying people's families, and eliminating dissidents. There were people who were in trouble, and he spoke as if it were true."

"No, they must be killing the donkey after it has done its job." Wang Zheng walked in and bowed to Jiang Qing, "Your Highness, they must have controlled the governor and made him take the blame for them."

Shang Nan: “It’s not a scapegoat.”

Wang Zheng licked his lips. "Okay, I'm not blaming you. But the Zhou family must have been involved. I'm the Zhou family's witness, and I'm still here. You say the Zhou family didn't participate at all? They didn't know about it? Isn't that a joke?"

Shang Nan: "But now, except for you as a witness, there is no one else."

Wang Zheng choked, "Can't you investigate? Can't you, a commander, investigate the case? If you follow the clues, you will find something."

"You don't have to say that."

Jiang Qing: "Shang Nan, keep a close watch on the governor and make sure he doesn't die."

It was already the next morning when Shen Hongxuan arrived.

The area shown by the jade pendant was a ruin. Above the ruins, there was a huge white-haired nine-tailed fox, lazily lying in the sun.

On the ground, there were rows of cleared corpses and people wailing everywhere.

When Shen Hongxuan entered the ruins, the fox just raised its eyelids and took a quick look, and then there was no movement.

Shen Hongxuan put away the jade pendant, went downstairs, and asked someone, "Excuse me, what happened here?"

The man glanced up quietly.

Shen Hongxuan was puzzled: "What's wrong with the fox?"

The man quickly stopped him from speaking, "Don't, don't say it! It's none of his business!"

The people who were still able to move nearby also changed their expressions and shook their heads repeatedly, "It's not this, it has nothing to do with it!"

Shen Hongxuan found it a bit strange. These people suffered such heavy losses, but only the fox was unharmed. How could it have nothing to do with the fox?

Judging from their expressions, they are very secretive about it. They probably don't dare to mention it. They probably have bad memories.

Shen Hongxuan scanned everything around him. Only half of the second floor of an inn was intact, and the rest of the place had become ruins.

There was a half-open door on the second floor of the inn, and inside the door...

Just as Shen Hongxuan was about to go over there, he was stopped by a yamen runner, "Don't go! Otherwise, you won't even know how you died!"

Shen Hongxuan was surprised, "What's in that door?"

The man looked at the fox carefully, "Not inside the door, but..." He looked at the fox carefully again.

Shen Hongxuan understood.

To enter that door, you must get the fox's permission!

Shen Hongxuan paused, "Sir, may I ask who is in that room?"

"I heard it was Master Zhulong. But I've never seen him either." The bailiff showed a longing look on his face, "Master, you know Master Zhulong, right? He actually wants to challenge the Weizhou Zhou family, a family that has saintly cultivators! He is really courageous!

Even if the Zhou family really did those things, His Majesty would not let them pay for their lives, at most they would be given a symbolic punishment. Master Zhulong... Well, if he doesn't move, maybe..." The Zhou family's killers are coming.

"How long has Master Zhulong been in there?"

"I heard from the innkeeper that it's been several days. Oh, yes, that person was the one who walked out of his room. He stepped on that useless crocodile, and the crocodile bit him, breaking his teeth..." He looked at the fox.
