Chapter 570: Behind Bars

Chen Ao was completely unprepared, and was a little caught off guard by Sang Lun's actions today, and couldn't think of how to explain it for a while.

Sang Lun didn't intend to give him a chance to explain, so he pointed at Chen Ao and asked, "Deputy Sect Master, can you tell me what happened on that day three years ago? Three years ago, he became an official for the first time, and since then, he has been doing shocking things. not only became the helmsman of the Salt Gang, but also became the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. In the end, he even became a red man in front of the Great Song Emperor and led the army north to fight against the Liao army. All of these changes in you started one day three years ago. How do you explain that?"

Chen Ao gritted his teeth and thought to himself, this old thing actually knew so many things about Lao Tzu, it must have been Cao Yi who told him. Lao Tzu can't tell them that Lao Tzu has crossed over. Can this kind of thing be explained?

Chen Ao was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do. Sang Lun was confident, obviously he had already made full preparations, no matter what Chen Ao said, he could refute it.

Seeing that Chen Ao didn't answer, Sang Lun continued: "Deputy Sect Leader Chen, you can't explain it, can you? Three years ago, I tracked the demonic cloud to Middle-earth, and the cloud vanished. But the devil's tricks did not perish. He has simply sent you, a demonic servant, to continue his plan to destroy my holy religion. Otherwise, how could you have gone from a small magistrate to an imperial general in just a few years? And how could you have traveled thousands of miles to Persia to join our Holy Sect? All this is your conspiracy! It is the devil's conspiracy!"

Chen Ao was really a little crying and laughing. He found himself in an awkward position, unable to explain his problems or refute the theories of Sanglun, a fanatical believer. Of course, Chen Ao knew that what Sang Lun said was simply absurd, but he couldn't convince so many fanatical believers that all this was nonsense.

Jalaari pretended to come to his senses, got up and said, "I see. Chen Ao, it turns out that you are deliberately trying to join our sect, which is simply the devil's plan! Then on the day of the fire sacrifice, your performances are also the devil's tricks. You're not a messenger of the gods at all!"

The blue jade smoke changed color, and he was about to stand up and refute Jalali. Chen Ao pressed her hand in time and shook her head slightly, signaling her not to be impulsive.

Chen Ao knew that the other party was prepared. Now they occupy the theoretical commanding heights, and if they rush to fight back, they will only be smeared more and more. Besides, in the eyes of others, he shouldn't be very familiar with Lan Yuyan. If Lan Yuyan stood up and spoke for herself at this time, it was very likely that the fire would be drawn to her.

Seeing that Lan Yuyan wanted to speak and stopped, Jalali didn't express his attitude in the end, and he was really a little disappointed in his heart. Although he wanted to turn everything upside down on the day of the fire festival, Lan Yuyan, the holy woman, seemed to be very popular. If Lan Yuyan doesn't make a stupid move, then it will be difficult for Jalali to target her.

As for Smale, he was cunning and cunning, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he had already become a turtle with a shrunken head, shrinking his body into the seat as much as possible, just hoping that others would not see him.

Jalali yelled at Chen Ao, "Chen Ao, what else do you have to say?"

Chen Ao shrugged, got up and said, "Jalali, in order to defeat me, it's really a shame that you came up with such a good plan. Since you want to say that I am here to destroy your church, then I will quit Zoroastrianism, and that will be all right, right? I will leave Persia tomorrow and go back to the Central Plains. From now on, we will never get along, and I won't get in the way of you!"

After listening to the translation, Jalali's heart moved, and he secretly thought, after all, Chen Ao is the general and minister of the huge empire in the east, and his own power must be not small. If he could walk away, it would be the best.

Jalali is a politician in the final analysis, and after weighing the two, he feels that Chen Ao's departure by himself is the best outcome.

He was about to speak, but he heard Sang Lun shout righteously: "No! Chen Ao, you are an apostle of the devil." We, the people of the Holy Sect, must eradicate the demons! Sect Master, please order Chen Ao to be burned at the stake!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ao and Jalali were taken aback. Jalali secretly scolded, this old guy is really confused. Is that Great Song Kingdom easy to mess with? Chen Ao can leave, then it is the best, do you have to make things out of control?

Chen Ao couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and secretly thought, this old thing really believes in that nonsense theory, and actually wants to burn me to death?

Sang Lun repeated his advice again. Among the elders, some of them were not familiar with Chen Ao, and they also began to discuss.

Seeing this, Jalali was afraid that if he let Sanglun continue to speak, he would inevitably incite everyone to agree with him. At that time, there was no way for me, the sect leader, to reverse the situation. Jalali hurriedly spoke: "Wise man Sang Lun, Chen Ao's crime has not yet been investigated. In my opinion, it is better to put him in a stone prison first. How about I wait until I have found out all the crimes and then deal with them?"

Jalali said as he smiled bitterly in his heart. Two days ago, he wished that Chen Ao would die, but now that Chen Ao has failed, he proceeds from the overall situation and does not want Chen Ao to die. It's ridiculous.

Sang Lun wanted to argue with reason, but several elders who were familiar with Chen Ao immediately stood up and echoed Jalali's proposal. Sang Lun had no choice but to give up, and reluctantly agreed to lock up Chen Ao first.

Chen Ao's thoughts were racing, and he couldn't think of a solution for a while. He suddenly saw Lan Yuyan's face flushed, as if he was about to get up and have a big fight. In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly pressed her shoulders and said quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You can save me when you're outside!"

Lan Yuyan trembled slightly, stared at him, and nodded slightly, but the reluctance and helplessness in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

Chen Ao didn't look at her, got up and walked towards the two guards who were going to arrest him. He knew that he had fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage today, and even if he resisted, it would only be a useless struggle, but he would have to suffer from flesh and skin. Therefore, Chen Ao followed the two of them out of the hall very indifferently.

Jalali was slightly disappointed. He wouldn't be arrested so easily when he was Chen Ao, so he could at least make Chen Ao suffer a little.

Chen Ao was locked up, and everyone felt that this big problem that had plagued everyone for many years would be solved. After talking for a while, they dispersed. When everyone was gone, Lan Yuyan grabbed Smale, who was about to leave.

She lowered her voice and said, "Great Elder, you must find a way to save Chen Ao!"

Smale was startled, looked left and right and saw that no one was around, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no...... Saint...... Sang Lun also said just now that Chen Ao is the servant of the devil...... I...... How could I save him......"

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left, as if he was afraid that others would see the scene where he was with Chen Ao, Lan Yuyan and others.

Lan Yuyan sat down on the chair dejectedly, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley at once.
