Chapter 598

Laying there was a man with white hair, a somewhat grey beard, and a thin, withered body.

The man's tightly closed eyes had somewhat sunken sockets, and his skin also presented a sickly paleness.

It was not until he heard footsteps that the man opened his eyes.

Surprisingly, those eyes were not turbid.

But they revealed a sense of compassion for the world.

"You have come."

Zhang Jiao, lying on the bed, said in a weak voice.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who had entered the room, both nodded hurriedly.

Seeing Zhang Jiao's appearance, their eyes were also filled with worry.

"Big Brother, your body..."

Zhang Jiao on the couch shook his head, then propped himself up with his arms, preparing to get up.

Zhang Ning, who was on the side, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Jiao get up: "Father, you should rest more..."

Zhang Ning's face was full of worry.

Zhang Jiao shook his head and said weakly: "It doesn't matter... it doesn't matter..."

"There is no time, there is no time to rest."

Zhang Jiao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said with a sad expression: "It is I who harmed Yuanyi, it is I who harmed Yuanyi."

"Big Brother!"

"Eldest Brother!"

Zhang Bao said with a grief-stricken expression, gritting his teeth: "Big Brother, this is not your fault. It is that traitor Tang Zhou; it is he who betrayed Ma Yuanyi, and he even framed Big Brother, saying that we want to rebel!"

"That's right, Eldest Brother, it is said that it was the Situ Yuan Kui who sent people to capture Ma Yuanyi!"

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said: "Eldest Brother, it must be that old dog Yuan Kui who is causing trouble behind the scenes!"

"Back then, he sent people to incite Eldest Brother to rebel, but Eldest Brother did not agree to him. Now he uses such despicable means to frame Eldest Brother for wanting to rebel."

"Eldest Brother sent Ma Yuanyi to present the Taiping Heavenly Book to His Majesty the Emperor, but he called Eldest Brother's Taiping Heavenly Book an evil book!"

"Cough, cough..."

"Cough, cough..."

Zhang Jiao coughed violently twice, and an unnatural red color appeared on his face.

"No matter what, it is I who harmed Yuanyi. I did not expect Tang Zhou to be Yuan Kui's secret agent, nor did I expect Yuan Kui to be so cunning."

"But the more this is the case, the more we cannot wait any longer!"

"How is the gathering of believers going?" Zhang Jiao asked, looking at Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

"Tens of thousands of believers have already gathered in the county, and more believers are rushing over from all directions."

"We have also sent people to notify the other states and commanderies."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao nodded and said: "Help me up." ===== CHAPTER 600 =====
