NOVEL NEXT Chapter 281
"Search, even if we have to dig three feet deep, we must find it. I want to see where this King Zhou can hide."
After entering King Zhou's bedroom and finding it empty, Jiang Ziya immediately mobilized several of his confidants to search.
"Report to the commander, we have captured a maid who is not yet dead."
After a search, several confidants did not find any trace of King Zhou, but found a half-dead maid and brought her back to Jiang Ziya.
It turned out that before leaving, King Zhou thought that he must leave some clues for Jiang Ziya to find himself, so he found a maid who had just entered the palace, made her look like she was dying, and hid her in his palace.
And told the maid that if she wanted to live, she should reveal her whereabouts, so that she would not be killed by the army brought by Jiang Ziya.
Then, King Zhou left with his confidants.
"Sir, don't kill me, don't kill me, I know where King Zhou is."
The maid was already crying when she was caught, and when she was brought to Jiang Ziya, she knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you just need to tell me where King Zhou is, and I will let you go."
Jiang Ziya helped the maid up and said to her kindly.
"Sir, King Zhou built a secret passage in this palace, which leads directly to the Zhaixing Tower, and King Zhou escaped from this secret passage."
The maid trembled as she told King Zhou's whereabouts.
"Tell me, how did you know this secret passage?"
One of Jiang Ziya's confidants drew his sword and put it against the maid's neck, and the maid knelt down again in fear.
"When King Zhou was leaving, in order not to expose his whereabouts, he sent his confidants to take the people here away or kill them."
"I was stabbed by a confidant of King Zhou after being chased and killed. He thought I was dead, so he called several other confidants of King Zhou who succeeded in chasing and killing me."
The maid couldn't stop shaking after the sword was pressed against her neck, but she still explained for them in order to survive.
"Then I heard their conversation. One of them asked where this passage led to. The one who was chasing me said it led to Zhaixing Tower. The mission was completed. Let's go quickly. We still have to follow King Zhou."
"After they left, I struggled to hide and wanted to escape, but I was finally discovered by you."
The maid trembled and told how she knew this secret passage.
"Now you lead us to find this secret passage, my men will treat your injuries and let you go."
Jiang Ziya helped the maid up again and told her his request.
"Okay."
The maid trembled and agreed, then stood up tremblingly and led Jiang Ziya and several of his confidants to the secret passage.
A few minutes later, the maid led Jiang Ziya and his confidants to the secret passage.
"Sir, this is it. This is the secret passage built by King Zhou. Can I leave?"
After the maid brought Jiang Ziya and others, she asked if she could leave.
Jiang Ziya waved to let her leave, and then took several of his confidants into the secret passage and continued to chase King Zhou.
After a period of trekking, Jiang Ziya and his confidants finally came to the exit of the secret passage.
No one would have thought that the tree hole of an ancient tree would be the end of this secret passage.
After leaving the secret passage, the Star Picking Tower could be vaguely seen.
Jiang Ziya immediately ran there with several of his confidants.
When King Zhou fled here with his confidants, he deliberately spread the news to let Jiang Ziya's army send a part of them to chase and kill here.
Then Jiang Ziya arrived.
At this time, King Zhou had been surrounded by Jiang Ziya's army on the Zhaixing Tower, but he had already moved his confidants away. At this time, there were only three people left on the Zhaixing Tower, King Zhou, Daji, and Shen Gongbao.
"If King Zhou wants to live, surrender quickly, and then follow me to plead guilty to King Wu and ask for his forgiveness, so that you can live the rest of your life."
Seeing that King Zhou was at the end of his rope, Jiang Ziya wanted to use King Zhou to increase his merits.
"You want to capture me alive and offer me to that Ji Chang kid, so that I can live the rest of my life as a slave for that Ji Chang kid."
"I'm telling you, don't even think about it. It's not you, Jiang Ziya, or that Ji Chang kid who defeated me, but the so-called Heavenly Dao."
"Heavenly Dao cut off the fortune of my Shang Dynasty and supported you, Xiqi. I admit it, but it's impossible for me to surrender."
King Zhou threw down the torch in his hand and set the entire Zhaixing Tower on fire. Then King Zhou took Daji and jumped down to die angrily.All this was what Jiang Ziya saw.
However, the fact is that when King Zhou jumped down with Daji, Shen Gongbao appeared from the side and threw out two corpses that were very similar to King Zhou and Daji, and then put them into the cave treasures, and then withdrew to the new world mentioned by Tongtian Sect Master.
When seeing King Zhou jump down, the soldiers under Jiang Ziya shouted excitedly.
"We won, we finally won, the victory belongs to us."
"Finally we can go home."
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya also ordered the army to withdraw, leaving some of his confidants to wait here with him.
The fire in Zhaixing Tower burned for three days and three nights, and finally Zhaixing Tower turned into ashes.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya immediately ordered his confidants to rush into the ruins of Zhaixing Tower to find the bodies of King Zhou and Daji.
"You must find them!"
Jiang Ziya silently said in his heart, of course he didn't want King Zhou to survive.
"Report to the commander, we found two bodies, and the bodies are no longer recognizable."
After a search, several of his confidants told Jiang Ziya the results.
"Okay, it's good that they are dead."
Jiang Ziya didn't care whether the two bodies were really those of King Zhou and Daji. He only needed to see two bodies inside the Zhaixing Tower to explain to Ji Chang.
As for whether King Zhou was really dead, it was no longer important. As long as he knew the time and didn't show up again, he could live the rest of his life in peace.
Let's go, take the bodies of King Zhou and Daji to see King Wu, and King Wu will definitely reward him heavily.
Upon hearing that there was a reward, several of Jiang Ziya's confidants didn't care whether these were really the bodies of King Zhou and Daji. They immediately found a piece of rag to wrap them up and rushed back.
After several days and nights of sleepless trekking, Jiang Ziya led several of his confidants and finally arrived at Ji Chang's palace.
"Look, is that Commander Jiang?"
At this time, a soldier guarding the city gate said to another soldier with excellent eyesight.
"It is indeed Commander Jiang."
The soldier took a closer look and then said affirmatively.
"I'll guard here, you go and inform the king."
