After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

Originally, he had never had the ambition to get ahead, even at the cost of his head. Otherwise, he would not have asked his father to go south to do the work immediately after the crown prince fell.

I just want to avoid this mess. No matter which brother wins the position in the end, everyone should treat him well in the future because he is sensible enough not to get involved.

But who could have thought that he had overestimated the scope of his brothers?

Since there is no way to escape the chaos no matter how hard I try, I might as well go all out and fight with you!

Although Pei Changjing was born a prince, he had always aspired to be a great general since he was young, and had followed Shen Mufeng on the battlefield for several years. Although he had always been just a small soldier, it also satisfied his wish to join the army.

So although this prince was lazy, he was not a coward. He had already voluntarily withdrawn, but he was still beaten into such a miserable state by the other princes.

The innate royal dignity in his bones that could not be insulted finally aroused his rare ambition.

When Shen Mufeng withdrew his gaze, he glanced at King Xuan's expression and raised his eyebrows silently.

After being chased all the way, did this person finally figure it out?

After Chu Zongyuan helped bandage King Xuan's wounds, he sat down exhausted to catch his breath and relax.

He reached out and touched the bundle of account books on his back and couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of worry.

"Do you think we can return to the capital alive?"

No one responded, only he gave a bitter smile.

"We have been chased all the way to this desolate place, with pursuers behind us and an unknown way forward. It's difficult!"

After a few moments of silence in the cave, Pei Changjing's slightly suppressed voice was heard.

"Cousin, I'm really sorry. This time you're all implicated by me. And Mu Feng, I'm sorry to you too.

Originally I was thinking of bringing you out here to avoid the limelight, but now, it seems like the three of us will have to die here together.

If we are really killed on the way and go to hell, I will accept the punishment and let you two vent your anger!"

Chu Zongyuan smiled bitterly.

"Where does the idea of ​​being involved or not being involved come from? Privately, you and I are cousins, and publicly, you and I are legitimate monarchs and subjects. No matter how you look at it, it's my duty to accompany you on this trip.

But if I really die in such an abject way, I will not be willing to accept it! I have studied hard for more than ten years, and finally got on the list and entered the official career, but in the end, I am gone before I have made any achievements?

Speaking of which, I feel so wronged! "

He looked at Shen Mufeng, who was more seriously injured and having a worse life than him, and his mood suddenly and strangely improved a little.

"And you, Shen Mufeng, have fought bravely on the battlefield and served the imperial court since you were a child.

I finally got the position of Crown Prince, and before I could even get comfortable in my seat, now I can't go back?

I guess your elder brother is in the capital now, and he wakes up laughing even when he falls asleep at night!"

Shen Mufeng glanced at him and snorted coldly.

"We are all unpopular people, who are you pretending to be favored in front of?

No wonder such a promising scholar who was ranked second in the imperial examination was not selected into the Hanlin Academy but was sent out instead.

You are such a chatterbox, the emperor is right not to keep you under his nose!"

What does it mean to have poison on your lips?

That's it.

Normally he seems to be taciturn, but once he starts to argue with someone, he knows exactly how to hurt people.

"you……"

"Okay, okay, cousin, stop talking."

Pei Changjing hurriedly tried to smooth things over. This one was his cousin and the other was his childhood friend. They were both implicated by him and were in this situation now. He couldn't possibly put on airs like a prince with them, right? He could only persuade both sides.

"Mu Feng, don't be angry. My cousin doesn't mean to laugh at me. Let's think about what to do next, shall we?"

When it comes to serious matters, everyone's faces become serious. Shen Mufeng frowned and thought for a while before looking up at the two people opposite him.

"We originally returned to the capital in a simple manner. If the news had not leaked out, we would not have been chased and killed repeatedly. Can you figure out who sent those pursuers?"

Pei Changjing nodded.

"They are just my close brothers. The eldest and the fourth should be the main force. After all, most of the holes in Jiangnan that were discovered this time were caused by them."

Chu Zongyuan echoed.

"Not only that, in the two years that I have been serving in Tongzhou Prefecture, I have discovered the influence of the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince several times. So the pursuit this time should also be the work of these two."

"We can't go to the government office in Anfeng Prefecture for now. The prefect there, Zheng Tongchun, is a member of the Zheng family, my fourth brother's mother's clan."

"After passing Anfeng Prefecture, we will have reached the capital. Once we enter the capital, we will have nothing to worry about."

"But how to get to Beijing as quickly as possible is a problem."

"Who says it's not true? Not to mention the princes and kings, even the officials involved, when they know we have found solid evidence, they will inevitably do something desperate..."

“Ah~ho~ho~~!”

The three were discussing countermeasures when suddenly, tiger roars were heard not far away.

Chu Zongyuan's face turned pale with fright. He was already weak and frail, and now he looked even more frail and pitiful.

"There are tigers here?!"

He glanced at the three bloody men on his side and smelled the bloody smell mixed with the healing medicine, and he instantly felt a little desperate.

This is really a case of "when it rains it pours" and "when it rains it pours" being a headwind. In a word, when people are unlucky, they are really unlucky!

Seeing the big, fat and strong creature blocking the entrance of the cave, Chu Zongyuan had even thought about how to write his own eulogy.

Even though Shen Mufeng was the most seriously injured, he still struggled to stand up, holding his sword and standing in front of King Xuan.

He felt that he was unlucky this year. Perhaps it was destined that he would die in the mouth of a wild beast this year. Otherwise, how could he run into tigers one after another?

This one was even bigger and more powerful than the last one. Considering his current injuries, it was unlikely that he could escape unscathed with the two behind him. He could only fight to the death!

He took a few steps forward with the sword in hand, and rushed forward to seize the initiative, but the fat and strong tiger evaded him with a very nimble twist of its body.

It just turned around and ran away swiftly, without any desire to stretch out its claws to hunt, and disappeared quickly at the entrance of the cave.

Hu Huahua was so excited that she ran and jumped all the way.

“Awooo, awooo, awooo, awooo…”

Boss, guess what I found? There are two-legged beasts in that cave, several two-legged beasts. It doesn't matter if I remember the road and the fork in the road, those people must know where the road is!
