General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 669: The Desolate World (1)

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of this. It makes me sick just thinking about it." The disciple was shaking with anger. "No one would know that he betrayed us and is still enjoying everything we left behind. It makes me angry just thinking about it."

"So the clan leader is right. We should not kill this kind of person. We should let him live and throw him out of the Zhang family to avoid annoying us." said another disciple.

"What if he returns to the eldest prince to enjoy wealth and glory?" a disciple guessed.

"Would the eldest prince want such a person? If you were the eldest prince." The other disciples laughed, "If it weren't for the fact that he is a disciple of the Zhang family, he would have been thrown out long ago."

"That's true! It's not a pity if we don't kill him. This kind of person is afraid of death and wouldn't even dare to die." The disciple sneered when he thought of Zhang Tie being alone and helpless.

The group returned to the villa and reported to Zhang Lao. One of the disciples asked, "Clan leader, what if Zhang Tie tells the eldest prince about our situation here?"

"The eldest prince originally thought that we had surrendered to the third prince, so it's okay to let him know." Elder Zhang said calmly, "After you recover from your injuries, we will eventually surrender to the general and his wife."

"Understood." The four disciples took the order and retreated.

When Aunt Ji heard about it the next day, she saw Mr. Zhang and expressed her condolences.

"Madam is a righteous person, but I am ashamed that the Zhang family has such a traitor. Fortunately, he did not cause any other harm, otherwise I would be too embarrassed to see anyone." Old Zhang sighed.

"Master Zhang, there is no need to do this. No one wants a traitor to appear. Since he has better pursuits, just let him go!" Ji Xiaowu comforted her, "But Master Zhang, do the disciples agree to let him go like this?"

Ji Xiaomu didn't expect such a thing to happen. The Zhang family actually let Zhang Tie go. She thought they would kill him for revenge or something.

"Madam, do you know what the world is like outside now?" As soon as Mr. Zhang saw Ji Xiaomu, he knew that she knew nothing about the outside world.

"Is the world very bad now?" Ji Xiaomu has always lived in the village, and at most she would go to the town or the city. She really doesn't understand what's going on outside.

"It's more than just a bad situation. We've long known that the princes are fighting for the throne. The people below are demoralized and are finally panicking, not knowing when the war will break out. Now it's only calm on the surface outside, but people in private are already on high alert, fearing that it will suddenly break out one day." Old Zhang said to Aunt Ji.

"Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult to survive without background and strength..." Old Zhang sighed.

This was also the reason why he set out to investigate as soon as he received the news. The troubled times had begun to become chaotic, and people's hearts were in a state of unrest and were suffering.

This is the case for their big family, let alone those innocent civilians.

"I really don't know." Ji Xiaomu had long been accustomed to the peaceful life in the city. She could not imagine what it would be like to be surrounded by enemies on all sides and see enemies everywhere as Mr. Zhang said.

"Madam, you don't take yourself seriously enough. Do you know that once the situation in Yanghe City is exposed, it will be a fat sheep and will inevitably be coveted by the princes." Old Zhang looked at Ji Xiaomu and said worriedly.

Seeing that his wife had no idea how dangerous the situation outside was, Mr. Zhang wanted to tell Ji Xiaomu, but Ji Xiaomu seemed even more confused.

"No wonder..." Ji Xiaomu realized.

No wonder... the Ling family is willing to hand over their property in exchange for peace.
