Chapter 478: Difficult Choice Between Loyalty And Righteousness! (2/2)

Numerous men in black, hordes of the Monitoring Division.

It was as though the entire Monitoring Division of the Kingdom had been dispatched.

Cui Jian looked at the elites of the Wolf Army and said admiringly: “As expected of the invincible Wolf army. A huge gift was prepared for you ahead yet you could sense the danger early and did not take a step forward——If such an elite division was wiped out, it would be a great pity. If you're willing to surrender, then I would like to give you a chance to live and forgive your past misdeeds.”

The black armored figures remained rigid, staring with brooding eyes.

The hundreds of soldiers of the Wolf Army did not say a word.

They didn't think Cui Jian was here to praise them.

Cui Jian twitched his mouth, seemingly not minding. His gaze s.h.i.+fted to the black carriage that the Wolf Army crowded around, and the corners of his mouth curved in a sarcastic smile. “Madam Lu, I trust you have been well since we last met? It is cold and windy outside, but Madam Lu brought Young Master Tianyu to play on the mountain. Be careful of catching a cold.”

No one answered.

The black carriage stood quietly there, and the Black Wolf army also stood there quietly.

No one wanted to speak to Cui Jian. No one wanted to respond to his sarcastic question.

Cui Jian raised his brows and spoke again, “Madam Lu, Junior, I, had come all the way up the mountain to pay my respect. Shouldn't you at least say a word? Madam Lu is also from a prestigious family. The Gongsun family is one of the top aristocratic families of the Kingdom. The gold coins in your home must be piled up taller than the distant Black mountain, right? We all live on the same street of Tiandu, one on the east of the street and the other on the west, and can be considered as neighbours——What was that saying? Neighbours are dearer than distant relatives. Cui Jian have come to pay visit, but Madam Lu is not even saying a word. That's not the etiquette of n.o.bles, right?”

Inside the carriage, it was still silent.

Cui Jian scrunched his brows, turned to look at one of the men of the Monitor Division, and asked: “You are sure that Gongsun Yu and that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d of the Lu family are in the carriage?”

“Yes. Censorate official. When General Song led troops to storm the Defense minister's residence, he was met with a fierce counterattack by the City Patrol led by Li Kefeng. Madam Gongsun implemented the 'Spring Breeze plan', and they lit fire to the official Lu residence and adjacent sites. Before that, they had stored a large amount of oil and coal in the Lu residence, and those things were set to flames all at one. Even the gale and snow could not drown it out.”

“Trash, I'm asking if you are sure that Gongsun Yu and the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d of the Lu family are in this carriage——you just have to answer my question.”

“Yes, Censorate official.” The man of the Monitor Division hurriedly apologised and explained, “When General Song wiped out all the troops of the City Patrol and Li Kefeng, he rushed into the Lu residence that was already in flames. General Song sent someone to search the Lu mansion, but did not find the bodies of the servants and maids——They must have evacuated early through a secret path. Now General Song is going after them. Our men had been watching the movements of the Wolf Army, and when they picked up a carriage in the back coutyard of the Lu mansion they immediately fled out of the city of Tiandu——”

Cui Jian's expression changed, “you mean, if Madam Lu and the b.a.s.t.a.r.d of the Lu family are not among the group of people that Song Lang is chasing after, then they would be in this carriage——is that right?”

“Subordinate is incompetent.” The Monitor Division bowed in apology.

“No matter.” A sinister smile spread across Cui Jian's face. “Since Madam Lu is unwilling to speak, then I will personally ask her to get off the carriage——I'll go and tear down her carriage, and see if she can still sit in the car at ease. Perhaps she would feel cold and throw herself into my arms——”

“Older Cousin——” A man also clad in a three-headed snake uniform of the Monitor Division frowned. “No matter what, Madam Lu is an elder——”

“Elder?” Cui Jian gave a biting cold stare at the man, “Yan Xiangma, do you know how their Lu family killed Cui Zhaoren?”

“I know, but——”

“But what? They killed Cui Zhaoren, and not even a bone or flesh of his could be found. He didn't even have the chance to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Cui family——Cui Zhaoren will always have to wander around as a lonely soul.” Cui Jian roared. “They killed Cui Zhaoren, and that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d of the Lu family and that Chu Xianda put on an act and said that Li Muyang is a young hero, a hero of Tiandu——If someone who kills is a hero than what about Cui Zhaoren?”

“They treated our Cui family like that, and you still think that woman is an elder——I don't see an elder, only an enemy. Whether it is a man or a woman, whether an elderly or a woman, as long as someone is part of the Lu family, they are the enemy of our Cui family——”

Cui Jian thoughtfully stared at Yan Xiangma and asked in a ruminative tone, “Yan Xiangma, you are not sympathising with the Lu family, right? Or could it be that the conditions that Old thing Chu Xianda offered you has tempted you?”

“Older Cousin——” Yan Xiangma's eyes showed a hint of rage. “A n.o.ble should maintain the manners of a n.o.ble. I just don't want you to humiliate a pitiful woman who can be called an elder. Besides, when did I agree to the terms of Chu Xianda? After he spoke to me, didn't I inform Grandfather——Did I hide anything?”

“Yan Xiangma, other people may not know you well, but I do.” Cui Jian smiled. “After Chu Xianda talked to you, when did you tell Grandpa? It was the night of the next day. What did you do that day? Where did you go? It was such an important matter yet you dragged it out and only said it the next night——Chu Xianda must have said what you were thinking at the bottom of your heart, right? Remove and replace the Cui family. The Yan family has a chance. Is that not very tempting? Didn't you want to take a gamble with them?” “

“Older Cousin, don't accuse me——when did I have such thoughts?”

“You know and I know, the heaven and earth know. There are some things that everyone are aware of without saying.” Cui Xiaoxin's cold eyes sent chills down one's spine. “You think you can fool Grandfather with a little cleverness? For thousands of years, in which conflict and change of situation was my Cui family not the biggest beneficiary? You think your Yan family can remove and replace the Cui family? Yan Xiangma, don't you think you're too stupid?”

“If Older cousin insist then I have nothing to say.” Yan Xiangma said coldly. “

“You obviously have nothing to say because you're guilty.” Cui Jian did not want to let go of this opportunity to beat Yan Xiangma. “Of course, you can also prove your innocence. I know you were friends with that Li Muyang when you were in Jiangnan. In that case, go kill those people in front of you——kill Gongsun Yu, kill Lu Tianyu. Then I will believe you have not been persuaded by Chu Xianda, and your Yan family is still with our Cui family——Will you prove your loyalty? Prove the loyalty of your Yan family?”

Yan Xiangma's face darkened, eyes filled with blood.

Che!

He unsheathed the sword in his hand and slowly stepped towards the Wolf army.
