Chapter 204 What Mr. Zhang Did

After General Zhou returned to the camp, Ye Zirou's anxiety was like a burning flame that she could no longer suppress.

He quickly reached out and held Mo Tianyu tightly, and then the two of them flashed and arrived in the capital in an instant.

Wearing bamboo hats, they slowly walked into a garment shop. Although the shop looked ordinary, it exuded a different atmosphere.

"Boss, are you happy to receive the gift today?" Ye Zirou's voice was crisp and tentative.

The shopkeeper, who was concentrating on recording the items with his head down, was shocked when he heard these words and became alert immediately.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he quickly glanced around, as if trying to determine whether there was any potential danger.

But just a moment later, he seemed to remember something and relaxed again.

He slowly raised his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Sir, what do you mean?"

"It looks like it's Barbie Q." Ye Zirou frowned slightly, with a hint of disappointment in her tone.

After hearing these two sentences, the shopkeeper responded immediately.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Sir, do you want ready-made clothes or custom-made ones?" The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles and his tone was full of courtesy.

"I want it customized!" Ye Zirou answered without hesitation.

"Okay, sir, please come in." The shopkeeper quickly made a gesture of invitation, "I'll take you to see the new fabrics we have in our store."

After saying that, the shopkeeper led Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu into the back room.

This room seems quieter and more private than the shop outside.

The shopkeeper looked around cautiously, his eyes like a vigilant hunter observing the surrounding environment.

After confirming that no one was there, he gently closed the door.

Afterwards, he bowed to Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu with a respectful and solemn gesture.

"Madam, Master Mo!"

Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu nodded slightly at the same time, then slowly took off their hats.

This secret code is exclusive to Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu, so as long as they hear it, they can immediately confirm each other's identity.

Although the shopkeeper was full of curiosity, he didn't understand why Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu suddenly appeared in the capital.

But he was also aware of his identity and responsibilities, and this was not something he should ask.

He just stood there silently, waiting for their instructions.

"Shopkeeper Wang, has General Zhou Bingren's wife been held hostage by the emperor?" Ye Zirou frowned slightly.

"That's not the case, ma'am." Shopkeeper Wang replied respectfully.

Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.

This is not right. General Zhou clearly said that his wife was controlled by the emperor in order to force him to send troops.

He had no reason to deceive them.

What is going on?

At this time, Shopkeeper Wang spoke again.

"Mrs. Zhou is controlled by a Mr. Zhang in the court." Shopkeeper Wang said with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Ye Zirou asked anxiously.

"Yes, ma'am, our people received the news..." Shopkeeper Wang began to narrate slowly.

It turned out that not long after General Zhou left the capital, Lord Zhang immediately sent someone to Zhou's mansion.

A group of people came to Zhou's house in a mighty manner. The scene was spectacular, but also carried a sense of oppression.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou was playing with her children in the yard.

A servant saw these uninvited guests and bravely stepped forward to ask.

"Who are you? How dare you break into our Zhou Mansion without permission?" The servant's tone was full of anger and questioning.

The man had no expression on his face and killed the servant without saying a word.

That cruel scene was terrifying.

When the servants in Zhou's residence saw this, they all screamed in fear, and fear instantly spread throughout the entire yard.

Mrs. Zhou tightly protected the shivering child who was hiding behind her.

There was a hint of fear in her eyes, but she still asked sternly, "Who are you? How dare you kill people in our Zhou Mansion?"

Suddenly, at this moment, Lord Zhang walked in from outside slowly and calmly.

On his face, which was already somewhat gloomy, there was now a creepy and evil smile.

That smile seemed to hide endless conspiracy and calculation, which made people feel cold.

"Mrs. Zhou, how are you?" Lord Zhang's voice echoed in the yard.

Madam Zhou had attended court banquets many times, so she was naturally very familiar with Mr. Zhang.

At this moment, she opened her eyes wide and stared at the person in front of her, her eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.

"Master Zhang, you broke into our Zhou family mansion with such a large force and even brutally killed our servants. What exactly do you want to do?"

Mrs. Zhou tried her best to keep her tone calm, but her trembling voice could not hide her fear at the moment.

Facing Madam Zhou's rebuke, Lord Zhang simply narrowed his eyes slightly, and that eerie smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"Madam Zhou, don't panic. I came here just to invite you and the young master to stay for a few days."

However, how could Mrs. Zhou easily believe such nonsense?

Her eyes widened in anger, she glared at Lord Zhang fiercely, and shouted, "Lord Zhang, this is clearly hostage-taking. What is your purpose?"

She knew very well that the other party was using her and the child to threaten her husband.

"Madam Zhou, your words are too serious. Think about it, General Zhou has already left the capital to serve the emperor.

As subjects, we should do our best to take care of his family, so that the general can focus on serving the country, right?"

Lord Zhang said this with a wry smile, his words seemed high-sounding, but in fact they contained a mystery.

Madam Zhou angrily scolded, "Humph! Sir Zhang, you and I both know the truth, there is no need to pretend here. If you really care about my general, you shouldn't use such despicable means. I will never go with you!"

Zhang's face darkened and he threatened, "Madam Zhou, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. If you refuse to cooperate, don't blame me for being rude!"

After he finished speaking, the adult surnamed Zhang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold and ruthless smile.

He suddenly flicked his sleeves, then raised his arms high and waved them vigorously behind him.

Then, he mercilessly gave the order: "Take the mother and son away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers as ferocious as wolves and tigers rushed forward and roughly grabbed Mrs. Zhou and the innocent young child in her arms.

Although Mrs. Zhou struggled desperately, it was of no avail.

In the end, in full view of everyone, she could only watch herself and her child being forcibly taken away by these cold-blooded soldiers.
