Chapter 138
"The city lord said that if the Iron Front Army succeeds this time, let me blame General Zhao and General Zhuo for the trouble and let them pay the price for him."
"Just say that they discovered the plague leak and wanted to hide the truth."
"If it fails, General Zhao and General Zhuo will be poisoned and blamed. Anyway, there is no cure for death."
"What?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Especially Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin, who were stunned at first, then shocked, and finally angry.
"You are so ruthless, Lin Tianlong, don't blame me for being ungrateful." Zhuo Zilin was furious.
He didn't like the city lord in the first place.
At this time, hearing that the city lord's confidants said so, he was even more furious.
"General Zhuo, calm down." Although Zhao Chong was the same, he quickly calmed down, stared at Li Taihang with cold eyes, and asked: "Did you do all this?"
"I just asked him to tell the truth."
"What if you manipulated all this?" Zhao Chong obviously felt that Li Taihang was wronging their master.
But Li Taihang snorted coldly and said: "Believe it or not, if you want to die, then go and confront your city lord, stupid guy."
"You!"
"Bold!"
Suddenly, all the soldiers drew their swords and wanted to kill Li Taihang.
Seeing this, Li Taihang snorted again and said: "Lord Zhao and the master will be left to you to deal with. Also, I hope you will not attack Jackdaw Town again, but go to find out the truth and give all the officers and soldiers and the people of Jackdaw Town a clean slate."
After that, Li Taihang and Ye Lan'er disappeared.
And the sudden disappearance of the two of them also startled everyone except Zhuo Zilin, and they searched everywhere for Li Taihang's whereabouts.
At this time, Luo Duozi was also shocked. He didn't expect that he would tell everything. If the city lord knew about this, he would definitely die.
"That, General Zhao, everything I said just now was nonsense. Don't believe it. I was tricked by that demon and controlled by him."
"Hmph, you know whether you have a guilty conscience or not. Now you say that others are controlling you. Do you think we will believe it?" Zhuo Zilin said with disgust.
He hated this kind of two-faced person the most.
However, Luo Duozi ignored him. He knew very well that whether he could survive depended on Zhao Chong, not Zhuo Zilin.
"General." Luo Duozi quickly crawled in front of Zhao Chong and said, "I was really wronged."
But Zhao Chong was a little irritated in his heart.
He didn't want to admit all this, but he felt that everything the other party said was possible.
For a moment, he was too lazy to pay attention to Luo Duozi, but looked at Zhuo Zilin and asked about Li Taihang's origin.
After checking, he was shocked.
"What, the other party is actually a cultivator?" Zhao Chong was a little shocked.
Because he knew that cultivators rarely care about mortals' affairs, but this time they interfered with the affairs of Jackdaw Town. Is there really something inside?
Is it really as Li Taihang said?
Thinking of all this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
However, out of loyalty to the city lord, he looked at Luo Duozi and said, "We will discuss this matter later."
Luo Duozi was relieved and stood up.
Zhuo Zilin was shocked.
"General." He hurried to persuade Zhao Chong that this was not a joke. If not, they would both die.
"Imprison Luo Duozi and never let anyone get close to him."
At this time, Zhao Chong hesitated and ordered people to detain Luo Duozi.
After all, if this matter was about him, it would be nothing, but it also involved Zhuo Zilin, and he didn't want to harm him because of this.
Therefore, no matter whether what Li Taihang said was true or false, he had to arrest Luo Duozi first.
Luo Duozi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Chong to still detain him. When the soldiers caught him, he was immediately angry.
"Zhao Chong, what do you want to do? I am the military supervisor."
"Now it's wartime. Everything here is up to me." Zhao Chong said lightly: "Take him away. No one is allowed to approach without my order."
"Yes."
The soldiers quickly stepped forward and took Luo Duozi away.
Luo Duozi was taken away, and he cursed Zhao Chong all the way.
"Zhao Chong, you bastard."
"Zhao Chong, you traitor, you will not die well. I will complain to the city lord, you treacherous villain."
"Zhao Chong, woo woo..."
Luo Duozi was dragged away while cursing, and along the way, the soldiers were very unhappy and directly took a sweat towel and stuffed it into Luo Duozi's mouth.
Suddenly, the sour smell made him see stars and his mouth could only smellHe made a whimpering sound, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"General."
Zhuo Zilin knew that Zhao Chong detained Luo Duozi for him.
If the city lord knew about this, he would definitely be punished, and with the city lord's character, he might even be dismissed.
Zhao Chong seemed to know the consequences of his actions.
However, he could not see anything on his calm face. He glanced at Lord Zhao and Master who were kneeling on the ground and trembling, and seemed to understand something.
"Come on, take these two people away and lock them up."
"Lord Zhao, this matter has nothing to do with us. We are following the orders of the city lord."
"Yes, Lord Zhao, I was originally a poison doctor, and the city lord suddenly recruited me to do this."
Both of them thought they were going to die, so they quickly told the story.
However, the soldiers came up ruthlessly and took them away.
As for the rest, needless to say, Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin both understood that everything Li Taihang said was true.
Then, what Luo Duozi said was also true in all likelihood.
Although Li Taihang might have manipulated him and made him say something against his will, Li Taihang was a cultivator after all, and his position this time seemed to be in Jackdaw Town, so he didn't need to do that.
Zhao Chong ignored the two until they were escorted out of the tent, then Zhao Chong turned around and said lightly: "General Zhuo, report to me about the battle situation in the mountain pass."
After Zhao Chong finished speaking, he walked to the main seat in the tent and sat down without any courtesy.
Zhuo Zilin didn't expect that Zhao Chong was still thinking about the mission at this time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Ah."
Then, Zhuo Zilin told Zhao Chong his plan.
When Zhao Chong learned that it was Li Taihang who made Zhuo Zilin lose all his previous efforts, he frowned immediately.
"You didn't notice his presence before?" Zhao Chong asked.
"Yes."
"It seems that this Jackdaw Town is not easy to attack."
"General, you still want to attack Jackdaw Town?" Zhuo Zilin was very shocked when he heard this.
