Cheng Chongjun's expression remained unchanged and he said: "I believe you all. What I say now are just speculations. Before you find the evidence, you'd better not get into trouble."
Pei Zhongtian seemed to agree with his words.
"That's right. If there really is a person who is traitorous to the country and collaborates with the enemy, even if it is true, even one person in Lanling City can drown him with just a spit of spit."
Cheng Chongjun frowned slightly.
For some reason, he always felt that there was something strange about Pei Zhongtian today, but he couldn't tell the specific details.
Forget it, he won't last long anyway, so there's nothing to worry about.
Xu Yaoguang glanced at them, then looked at the closed door in front, and whispered:
"Commander Mo has been in there for a long time, why haven't he come out yet?"
Everyone looked at each other.
This time the situation is indeed a little different, and there is something strange and unsettling about it.
Someone comforted:
"I'm afraid there are a lot of problems involved this time, and it will take a lot of time and energy for Emperor Zun to deal with them. Let's just wait and see."
That's all it can do now.
Everyone said nothing and continued to wait.
Cheng Chongjun's expression remained unchanged, but the hands in his sleeves gradually clenched into fists.
He raised his eyes slightly, looked at the sky, and gradually felt a bit impetuous and impatient in his heart.
But of course he couldn't show these emotions and could only wait along with everyone.
…
An hour later, Mo Qi's figure appeared in the hall again.
"Emperor, everything has been arranged."
Emperor Shitian was standing in front of the table, looking at the map of Lanling City spread out on the table.
Hearing this, he said "hmm" and looked away from the map.
The location of hundreds of teleportation arrays outside the city was emptied by him.
"Okay, let them come in."
This "they" naturally refers to Cheng Chongjun and others waiting outside the palace.
"yes."
After a while, everyone walked in.
When Cheng Chongjun saw Mo Qi standing beside him, his eyes froze, but he quickly looked away and saluted Emperor Shitian.
"I've met Emperor Zun."
Naturally, everyone behind him was also there.
Emperor Shitian raised his eyes and looked over: "Why did you enter the palace this time?"
Cheng Chongjun cupped his fists and took a step forward:
"We request to go out to fight and protect Lanling together!"
This is actually quite normal. After all, apart from the city guards, these aristocratic clans are the most powerful in Lanling City.
Cheng Chongjun is the head of the Cheng family, so it is most appropriate for him to bring up this matter.
In the past, when Lanling City was in danger, all the major families would send strong men to fight.
Emperor Shitian looked at Cheng Chongjun, and there seemed to be waves surging in his deep phoenix eyes.
For some reason, Cheng Chongjun suddenly felt a little uneasy.
But then, Emperor Shitian's words dispelled his mood.
"Then please ask the head of the Cheng family to lead his people out of the city to fight, and be sure to - hold the teleportation formation."
Cheng Chongjun's heart fell back into his stomach.
He clasped his hands and said:
"I will definitely live up to the Emperor's trust!"
…
With so many powerful people from the Cheng family gathering, it makes sense that the Emperor Zun Council would entrust them with important responsibilities.
Everyone also had great confidence in them, thinking that the cholera epidemic would be solved soon.
However, after the Cheng family led their men out of the city, they fought fiercely for only half a day before they began to lose ground and most of the teleportation array was lost.
As night fell, more and more enemy troops came from the teleportation array.
A group of people took the lead in breaking out of the siege. The leader stood in the sky with great power. He was actually a powerful spiritual master!
He was wearing a black robe, his face hidden under his hood, and he raised his hand and pointed at Lanling City.
