Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 361 Falling from the Tower
These ugly words caused Baili Jiuge's anger to rush to the top of her head in an instant, and she almost couldn't help throwing a dagger at Huang Zhengtian.

As if everything was silent, everyone was looking at the city gate angrily.

No one spoke, whether it was the soldiers of the Shang army or the soldiers of the Zhou army.

Only Huang Zhengtian laughed triumphantly, like the pride of a cunning fox after he succeeded.

But no one could have imagined that at this moment, the rope hanging the skirt suddenly broke for some reason!
Everyone exclaimed, and the soldiers beside Mo Hong immediately became confused. Some people instinctively stretched out their arms to pick up the quilt, but the swaddle still fell to the ground.

"Jin'er!" Baili Jiuge couldn't help shouting.

Mo Li held her hand tightly, "Jiu Ge, I know you will still be scared, but don't be afraid." He calmly put away the chess piece that broke the string just now.

At the same time, Yufeng rushed up, quickly picked up the swaddle, and quickly evacuated from Chenggen.

The city was in chaos, Mo Hong looked at the broken thread in surprise, and Huang Zhengtian grabbed him by the collar.

Huang Zhengtian roared angrily: "My boy, who told you to disobey the order and throw the ink skirt off without permission! This is good, not only is the shield gone, but you have also annoyed Prince Zhou. You want us to die without a place to die!" !"

"I... don't know what's going on." Mo Hong argued.

The generals of the three armies were furious, and they all surrounded him, leading their soldiers, and arrested Mo Hong in an almost brutal way.A popular fist hit, and a bruise immediately appeared on Mo Hong's face.

Under Tongguan, Zhou Jun approached, like an unstoppable tide, as if Tongguan would be swallowed up in the next moment.

Moli's voice came from a distance, angry like fire, cold like ice: "Your Majesty, I will wash Tongguan with blood in my stool today, in order to sacrifice the spirit of my beloved daughter in heaven!"

Yin Haochen hurriedly said: "Zhou Shizi is benevolent and loves the people, how can he kill the innocent people in Tongguan?"

"Innocent?" Mo Li said coldly: "The people are innocent, so is Jin'er guilty?" He raised his sleeves and pointed at Yin Haochen, "Chen Wang, if you don't want Tongguan to become a hell on earth, then bring Huang Zhengtian and Mo Hong out to pay for the crime ! Otherwise, I will turn Tongguan into a ghost town!"

Upon hearing this, the generals of the three armies said in unison: "My lord, hand over Huang Zhengtian, we can't let Prince Zhou kill tens of thousands of people in anger!"

"My lord, don't hesitate, hand it over quickly. If His Majesty knows the whole story, he won't blame you!"

"You—" Huang Zhengtian's face was pale, and he almost bit his own tongue.

On the contrary, Yin Haochen was slightly surprised by the word "Mo Hong" just now, and cast his gaze on Mo Hong.

"You are Mo Hong?" Yin Haochen never thought that this young man would treat his own niece like that.

"My lord! Hurry up and hand it over, don't let Tongguan be washed in blood!"

Yin Haochen came back to his senses, his face was covered with frost, and he roared in a deep voice: "Tie Huang Dujun and Mo Hong, and send them to Prince Zhou for disposal!"

"Chen Wang, you—" Huang Zhengtian yelled: "Yin Haochen, if you dare to treat me like this, my people will definitely read you a book in front of His Majesty, so that you will never see your princess and children again!"

Yin Haochen said: "This king will report the ins and outs to the emperor, and the emperor will learn from it. Even if he believes in you, he will know which is more important between you and Tongguan."

"Yin Haochen, you bastard!" Huang Zhengtian cursed angrily, the surrounding soldiers had already rushed up and tied him up, Huang Zhengtian's repeated struggles were useless.

Another group of soldiers went to tie up Mo Hong. Mo Hong had already been captured and had no way of resisting, so he had to wait quietly to be tied up.

However, at this moment, a black figure suddenly flitted across the city tower, snatched Mo Hong from the hands of the soldiers with a snap of his fingers, and jumped off the city wall with Mo Hong, heading towards the direction of the dense forest Run away quickly.

"Ah? This!" The sergeants were shocked, still holding the hemp rope in their hands, completely unaware of who the person who came just now was able to take Mo Hong away in such a short period of time.

This scene also fell into the eyes of Baili Jiuge, she said in surprise: "Mo Li, that one just now was—"

"I don't know who it is." Mo Li's eyes flickered.Judging by that man's clean and agile skills, I'm afraid his martial arts are not inferior to him.Who was it and why did they rescue Mo Hong?
Neither of them could see the real thing, Baili Jiuge murmured: "The action is too fast, I can only see him wearing black clothes, I don't know if he is a hired assassin or what."

Mo Li couldn't judge for a while, the bottom of the moon-like eyes was as deep as an ancient cave, the matter of Mo Hong being rescued will be discussed later, the most important thing now is to take Huang Zhengtian down.

Not long after, the turmoil on the Tongguan city tower subsided, the city gate opened, and five or six soldiers escorted Huang Zhengtian all the way to Mo Li.

The soldiers were originally Baili Weiming's subordinates, and they respected Mo Li, but they also looked down upon Huang Zhengtian, who was sent by Emperor Zhaoyi.

They kicked Huang Zhengtian so hard that he fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty Zhou, His Royal Highness Mo Hong was kidnapped just now, and now this is Huang Zhengtian, please make a decision and forgive the people of Tongguan."

"Please allow Zhou Shiziwang to spare the innocent citizens of Tongguan!"

Mo Li's sharp and icy eyes swept over Huang Zhengtian's head, and immediately said indifferently: "The next thing I promise, since King Chen is willing to hand over Huang Zhengtian, I will retreat and spare you Tongguan. As for the matter of Mo Hong, another If there is something strange, I will not pursue it."

An order was issued: "All the troops obey the order, escort Huang Zhengtian, and withdraw the troops back to the camp!"

The generals of the Zhou army had always followed Mo Li's orders, but now they hesitated.The tragedy of the little county lord falling to the ground and dying has already aroused the anger in their hearts. They don't understand why His Royal Highness wants them to retreat, "Your Highness, the little county lord..."

"Withdraw the troops and return to the camp. This is my order to you as the son of the Great Zhou."

Hearing Mo Li's determined military order, the soldiers of the Zhou army could only obey unconditionally, and immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Gradually, thousands of troops moved away from Tongguan.The generals and soldiers on the tower finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that they were covered in cold sweat.

Because Huang Zhengtian fell into Mo Li's hands, although the soldiers didn't say anything, they were happy to hear it.However, when they thought of the fallen Jin'er, they all showed heavy worried expressions...

Even though Prince Zhou retreated this time, how could the pain of bereavement just pass away?I'm afraid that Tongguan is about to fall...

"Generals, please come with me." Yin Haochen said solemnly.

After hearing this, the generals explained the guarding work on the tower, followed Yin Haochen down the tower, and returned to the room where they discussed military affairs.

Then, from Yin Haochen's mouth, they heard something that left them dumbfounded.

"To tell you the truth, the generals, in fact, Zhou Shizi's army is coming to Tongguan to leave Huang Zhengtian. This is a scene that this king and Zhou Shizi acted together..."

All the generals looked at each other, only then did they realize that the rope hanging Mo Jin was interrupted by Zhou Shizi.In other words... from the conversation they heard between the prince and Yuying early this morning, to Huang Zhengtian's threat to the prince, to the prince's proposal to hang the ink purse on the city wall... everything was discussed between the prince and Prince Zhou!
A general said: "But it doesn't seem to make sense. Everyone knows that Zhou Shizi loves his wife and daughter. How could he knock his daughter down from the tower with his own hands?"

Yin Haochen said: "It is not the ink girdle that is hung, but a baby made of flour."

"Noodles, flour?" The generals didn't expect it at all, and they all showed surprised expressions, and asked one after another: "Then... where is the real ink?"

"When you broke into the house in the morning to arrest Mikage, Mo Jin had already been placed in a sleeping hole by Mikage and hid in his clothes."

The generals recalled in amazement, and then realized that when they surrounded Yuying in the morning, they seemed to see a piece of Yuying's clothes bulging...

It's just that everyone's attention wasn't there at the time. Now that I think about it, it turned out that Yu Ying had already taken Mo Jin away at that time.And the baby who stayed next to the prince was actually a flour doll. The prince said he touched her sleeping hole, but he didn't bring it in front of Huang Zhengtian.So the little baby didn't cry all the time, and Huang Zhengtian didn't have a chance to notice the clue...

"My lord, I just remembered something." The generals said, "Huang Zhengtian himself seems to be a master at making clay sculptures."

"Exactly." Yin Haochen said: "The last time Zhou Shizi came to the city, Huang Zhengtian sent him a package and made him retreat. Do you know what is in that package?"

The generals naturally didn't know, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yin Haochen also truthfully told the generals what happened that day, which made them even more surprised. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhengtian had discovered Mo Jin's identity before, and even used his small flour hands smeared with pigeon blood to threaten him with fakes. Zhou Shizi... No wonder Zhou Shizi treated him in his own way this time.

As for that Mo Hong...

"My lord, that Mo Hong is Zhou Shizi's younger brother. I heard that they have always been brothers and sisters, but now they have become like this."

The generals' questions are also Yin Haochen's questions, but Yin Haochen has a lot of things on his shoulders, and he has no spare time to pay attention to it, so he shook his head heavily and said: "This time, this king is suspected of collaborating with the enemy country. It is this king who is sorry for the generals. , I’m sorry, Dashang.”

Almost all the generals said in unison: "Where is the prince talking!"

They said one after another: "It's good to return the Mo Jin to Zhou Shizi, so that the prince will not be affected again!"

"That's right, we are all majestic men of seven feet, and we shouldn't be threatening others with a small doll! This time, we have solved Huang Zhengtian at least, it's the best!"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Yin Haochen's face, guilt appeared in his eyes, and he clasped his hands behind his back tightly.

Looking out the window, that was the direction of Zhou Ying. Yin Haochen knew that Mo Li and Jiu Ge had almost returned to Zhou Ying at this moment, reunited with their daughter...
