Chapter 499: Captured
At that time, he was not unintentional, he slapped her in an emergency, if An Lan was willing to forgive himself, it would be a big deal to let her beat her back.
If he was beaten by someone else, he would not have wanted to. The dignified prince was slapped a few times. It's a great humiliation, but if you get slapped a few times by your own wife, it doesn't hurt.
Chu Xingze's mood suddenly brightened, and he was full of joy thinking about how to find An Lan and take her back to the palace, and then the two of them continued to live happily and peacefully.
At the same time, King Mu had been on the run, and he and his men finally got out of the capital smoothly and came to Shili Pavilion.
thought that he could escape smoothly, but who would have thought that when he first got into the carriage, he would be surrounded by officers and soldiers.
Listening to the strong sound of fighting outside, the wood king opened the curtain and saw that the people outside were fighting. He got out of it and wanted to leave, but he was directly surrounded by officers and soldiers with bows and arrows.
"King Mu, if you know each other, surrender quickly. The emperor said that if you take the initiative to surrender, you can still be left alive, if you dare to resist, let us kill you! All of you put down your weapons obediently, or else you will be pierced through the heart! ”
These people are not talking at all, there is already one person who has taken the initiative to release an arrow and shoot the butler next to the wood king to death.
Seeing the butler lying in a pool of blood, King Mu was saddened in his heart, but he also knew that he was desperate. He plucked something from his head and fell to his knees.
"Don't kill this king! This king is willing to surrender! The Wood King threw aside a knife he was holding in his hand and raised his hand high.
Compared with shooting arrows to death, he wants to survive more and steal his life, maybe he can make a comeback in the future!
Seeing the actions of the Wood King, the others swarmed up, pressed the Wood King to the ground, and escorted him back to the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible.
At this moment, the emperor was already waiting for the Wood King there. When he brought the wooden king to him, the emperor made him kneel on the ground. Glancing at the emperor, King Mu snorted coldly.
"This king is your royal brother, how can you make this king kneel to you? Even if you are the emperor, you can't treat this king like this, let them loosen the ties to this king, move a chair by the way, prepare a table and a banquet, this is your way of treating your brother. "The Wood King is still arrogant at this time.
His words made the emperor laugh.
"What you said is not bad at all, you are indeed my imperial brother, but you are also a chaotic minister and thief, I think that you and I are my own brothers, so I opened up to you, and there were no random arrows piercing my heart!"
The emperor's words were indifferent, which made King Mu's heart tighten.
He naturally knew that he was a rebel and thief now, even if the emperor killed him now, it would be normal.
"King Mu, I ask you, why are you the emperor alone? Where did you put me? ”
Hearing this, the Wood King laughed and behaved extremely arrogantly.
"Your Majesty, what you said is not right, this king, as your royal brother and the son of the former emperor, is it wrong to be called the emperor? When the king of Japan received news that the palace was in danger, it was logical for the king to go over to relieve the siege, clear the chaos, and ascend the throne as king! Besides, when you return, won't this king also obediently hand over his power? Now that you are in power, you can naturally slander this king. ”
King Mu snorted coldly, not taking the emperor in his eyes at all.
The emperor suddenly laughed.
"Okay, you wood king, you dare to be so righteous and awe-inspiring after doing so many wrong things. What about the people in the capital? And your subordinates, who are free to cause trouble among the people, burn, kill, and rob? This is not your order, and whose command is it? ”
The emperor's simple words left King Mu speechless.
Besides, his subordinates did those things, and he also knew that there was also the fact that he asked people to find beautiful women, which was spread in the capital.
At this moment, many ministers stationed in the capital stood up and began to accuse King Mu.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen can testify that this Mu Wang forced us to be his subordinates, I can't wait, he not only beat us, but also locked us in a prison cell, Lord Zhang is just unwilling to succumb to his obscenity, so he crashed into the pillar and died. The emperor wants to make the decision for us and kill this rebellious minister and thief to correct the discipline. ”
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times in grief, and the other adults all knelt on the ground, begging the emperor to kill King Mu.
Listening to their voices, King Mu panicked in his heart, and in the midst of so many opposing voices, he had to admit his sins.
Even if you don't admit it, there's no way to get away with it!
"That's it, no matter what King Mu says, he is also my imperial brother, so I will put him in prison and deal with him again!" The emperor waved his hand slightly to his subordinates and asked them to take the wooden king down.
His guards took the wooden king away and put him directly in the prison, waiting for the emperor to send him.
The news of King Mu's arrest spread throughout the capital, and many people knew about it. Hua Shukou has been following the whereabouts of the Wood King, and is devastated when she learns that he has been imprisoned in the prison.
On this night, she deliberately spent a lot of money to meet the wood king.
Hua Shukou was neatly dressed this night, and the whole person was heroic, and she was dressed in men's clothes. Go to the gate of the prison and stuff the silver you have prepared to the guards.
"A few big brothers, I don't want you to make it convenient, let's stay a little longer." Hua Shukou smiled and prayed to them.
Since they have received the money, they have also said hello, and they can let Hua Shukou in.
"Madame may go in, but remember, not more than two quarters of an hour. The Emperor's generals will come to inspect soon after two quarters of an hour, and if we learn of this, we will all be involved. ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely come out this morning, two big brothers." Hua Shukou smiled and agreed.
Then, they let the flowers in.
Hua Shukou ran directly to the cell of the Wood King, and saw that the Wood King was being shackled, and her tears fell.
"Lord Wang, why have you lost so much weight? Let me see you. Hua Shukou wept bitterly as she went over to pull King Mu's hand to see what had become of him now.
His hair was long, covering half of his face, and he seemed to have been beaten.
Hua Shukou held a handkerchief and wanted to help him wipe the marks off his face. But the slightest touch made the wood king grin in pain.
"You slut, get out of the way of this king, this king doesn't need your mercy, hurry up and go back to Fang Kunji to find you, this king has already broken off with you!"
Mu Wang was unwilling to give Hua Shukou a good look, so he pushed her hard.
Hua Shukou's tears burst out of her eyes, she never thought that the Wood King was so tired of herself. Hua Shukou cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken, and tears kept falling down her cheeks.
"Lord Wang, you shouldn't blame me like this! I was also helpless, so I followed Fang Kunji. Can you listen to me? Hua Shukou held the hand of the Wood King, and wanted to tell all the ins and outs of the matter, so that he could understand that he was just helpless that day.
