Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 236 Brother, chew on that corn kernel!

Daji was the first to jump up and expressed disbelief.

"Are we going to rescue that old man? Why rescue him? Why let me be with her?"

"Yes, everyone knows that King Zhou is a tyrant and deserves to be killed. Why should we save him?" Liu Ziran opened his eyes wide, looking confused.

"We have all seen today that King Wu was kind and benevolent. As recorded in history books, he was indeed a wise ruler. Why don't we help King Wu, but instead aid and abet Zhou's atrocities?" Liu Zixun frowned.

"Everyone, don't get excited yet," Wang Mang pressed Daji down. "The system mission only asks us to rescue King Zhou, not to help the Shang Dynasty fight against the Zhou Dynasty. Maybe King Zhou has some historical secrets."

Everyone was talking at once when the door suddenly opened and a team of armed guards rushed in and surrounded everyone.

"What are you going to do?" Su Jiahe jumped up in an instant and looked at the guards in horror.

"Don't move!" A guard put a bronze spear against Su Jiahe's neck and shouted.

"Hey, we are your king's guests of honor. What are you doing?" Wang Mang frowned slightly and subconsciously protected Yingying beside him.

"We are here on the king's orders to capture the spies from Chaoge. Come with us." The leading guard said in a cold tone.

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

"No, how can we be spies? We were brought here by Jiang Taigong." Su Jiahe quickly explained.

"Haha" a sneer came from outside the door. Everyone looked and saw that King Wu of Zhou had changed into casual clothes, with his hands behind his back, and walked into the room slowly.

"Jiang Ziya has colluded with foreign countries and has been detained in the palace by me."

"What?" Su Jiahe was shocked and angry for a moment, and really couldn't understand how things turned out like this.

"Your Majesty, we are really from the afterlife and we are here to assist you. Please understand." Liu Ziluan's face turned red with anxiety and he almost cried.

"You are a wise ruler and will never harm loyal people. Even if you doubt us, please release Jiang Taigong first." Liu Zixun looked at King Wu of Zhou with tears in his eyes and begged bitterly.

"Sister Su, how could this happen?" He Shuangqing didn't bother to explain. She opened her arms as wide as she could and used her slender body to shield the children behind her.

Yingying stood beside Wang Mang, looking at King Wu of Zhou quietly without saying a word.

"take away!"

King Wu of Zhou waved his sleeves, and the guards came forward and escorted a row of people to the dungeon of the palace.

The dungeon was very low; even Liu Zhun, the tallest man, had to bend over slightly to avoid hitting his head. Each cell was surrounded by wooden stakes, the space was extremely cramped, the ground was covered in mud, and there was a musty smell everywhere.

Eight people were locked in a small cubicle, it was so crowded that it was difficult to even sit down.

"Who is this? He is a wise ruler!" Wang Mang grabbed the wooden stake and cursed outside the cell.

"Brother Wang, calm down. Now is not the time to be angry. You should think of a solution. If someone hears you scolding King Wu of Zhou, it will cause trouble again." Su Jiahe tugged at the corner of Wang Mang's clothes.

"Why is this happening? Not only have we been mistaken for spies, but we've also implicated Jiang Ziya." Liu Zhun held Liu Zilan's hand with one hand and Liu Zixun's hand with the other, looking completely bewildered.

"Wow, time travel is not fun at all." Liu Ziluan was so scared that he trembled and huddled in the corner.

"Sigh, I never expected things to turn out like this." Su Jiahe sighed. "Why don't you all go back? I'll stay and try to explain things to King Wu of Zhou and rescue Jiang Taigong." "No, no, how can we leave you alone?" Wang Mang shook his head repeatedly. "Besides, our disappearance without explanation is even more inexplicable."

"Yes, no matter what happens, we will stay together." He Shuangqing said firmly.

Liu Zhun frowned, beginning to doubt the assessment of King Wu of Zhou as a "wise ruler".

"Jiang Taigong was so loyal, revealing everything about his time travel, yet he was met with such suspicion. Sister Daji, you come from this era, do you know what kind of person King Wu of Zhou was?"

"I... I'm not familiar with him either. He is in Xiqi and I am in Jizhou." Daji shook her head in confusion.

"Alright, everyone, be quiet for a moment." Yingying suddenly interrupted the discussion, "I know why we were considered spies for Chaoge."

"Why?" Su Jiahe almost forgot that Yingying had the ability to read minds and should have seen through King Wu of Zhou's thoughts just now.

"Because there was someone around King Wu of Zhou who recognized Sister Daji, this caused the misunderstanding." Yingying said in a low voice.

"Ah, because of me?" Daji was stunned. "I've never met anyone from Xiqi before?"

"I understand," Su Jiahe suddenly realized, "Although you haven't seen her, the Daji in this world has already entered the palace. Perhaps a minister has been on a diplomatic mission to Chaoge and met that Daji."

"So that's how it is!" Daji suddenly felt guilty, "Oh, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come here and caused trouble for everyone."

"Stop talking about this. The most urgent thing is to explain everything to them and let us go." Wang Mang said anxiously.

The dungeon was dark and damp. Wang Mang, who was in his seventies, soon became unable to bear it and kept rubbing his aching knees.

"How about this, if I take out the things I brought now, can it prove that we are time travelers?" Su Jiahe lowered his voice and clenched the storage ring in his hand.

"Don't!" He Shuangqing held Su Jiahe's hand. "Sister Su, King Wu of Zhou already has a prejudice against us. If you bring out some weird things, he might think you're a demon or a monster."

"Shuangqing is right. The last time we went to the Eastern Han Dynasty, we were almost mistaken for monsters." Wang Mang nodded.

"Forget it, since this incident was caused by me, I will take the blame for my own actions."

Daji kicked the wooden stake impatiently, turned around and shouted outside the cell: "If you want to arrest someone, arrest me, it has nothing to do with them!"

"Little Daji, what are you doing? It's not your fault." Su Jiahe quickly grabbed Daji.

"Stop talking, you bunch of spies. You're still not behaving yourself even in jail." A jailer suddenly walked over and knocked hard on the copper lock on the door, making a dull metallic sound.

Daji was startled and the half roasted corn left in her sleeve fell out.

"What is that? Bring it here!" the jailer shouted.

"This is food." Daji picked up the corn and handed it over carefully across the fence.

"Food?" The jailer turned the corn over and over again, and smelled a faint burnt aroma. He couldn't help but wipe off the dirt on it. He tried to take a small bite of the corn cob, but it hurt his teeth.

"Bah! How can I eat something so hard? How dare you play tricks on me?" The jailer took the whip and was about to hit Daji.

"Brother, chew on that corn kernel!"
