Chapter 216 - Arrest alive

After waking up, Grand Uncle Huang had a gloomy expression on his face. His hair was disheveled as he sat on the chair, and his angry expression overflowed into his speech. His withered hands tightly gripped the armrest of the chair, making creaking sounds.

The Grand Uncle's guards were all inside the hall, and outside the hall, there were Soldiers s standing all over.

”Grand Uncle, why would something like this happen?” A general stood in front of the Grand Uncle and shouted angrily.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was Ye Lvhongji's Grand Uncle and held a large amount of power, the King Chu wouldn't have dared to turn traitor in the slightest. But he didn't expect that Grand Uncle Huang would actually have killed the King Chu first.

He had only seen Ling Xiao before, but he did not know what Ling Xiao's name was. If he were to explain that it was a young man who came in to kill King Chu, perhaps no one would be willing to believe him.

This was the Grand Uncle's mansion, and it was heavily guarded. There were many experts here, and to be able to barge into such a small youth was simply a fantasy story.

However, as Grand Uncle saw it with his own eyes, this was the truth.

Since there was no point in explaining, the Grand Preceptor's uncle began to think of his future path.

”General Wu, there must be a misunderstanding.” Grand Uncle said with a deep voice.

”Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Why are you still alive when my king is dead!? And that dagger is right by your side! ” General Wu said in grief. Without the King, so what if he took down Chidan's Sword?

King Chu did have sons and princes, but the succession of the new king only comforted the citizens and the world. No one cared about his achievements anymore.

Then wouldn't it be meaningless for the Imperial City that he risked his life to take down Qi Dan?

Therefore, General Wu was extremely saddened. All the blood and sweat that he had put into his heart had all vanished into thin air. Of course, he would feel heartache.

The imperial uncle pointed at the mess on the ground, gritted his teeth, and said, ”King Chu doesn't have that kind of ability to fight with me for that long. If I want to kill him, I can take his life in a few moves! Why are you fighting in such a sorry state? ”

With that, the Grand Uncle pointed at his slovenly appearance, matching his words.

He naturally knew of the King Chu's capabilities. He didn't know how to fight, nor did he even know how to wave around the sword and sabre. It was simply impossible for him to turn Grand Uncle Huang into such a miserable state.

But General Wu did not buy it. He waved his battle robe and said coldly, ”No one saw it. Who can prove it? Perhaps all of this is the result of your self-directed acting! ”

Hearing this, Grand Uncle couldn't help but suck in a deep breath. He was angry to the point that his entire body was trembling, but there was nothing he could do.

”General Wu, we're both grasshoppers on the same boat. If there's a dispute at this critical juncture, it's not good for both of us. If you still want to win this war, then believe me.” The imperial concubine clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

General Wu said with a stern expression, ”Will we just let this matter go like this?” ”Impossible, I have no way to give an explanation to the people below.”

”Of course it's not like that. Give me one day and I will give you a satisfactory answer. If that still doesn't work, I'll listen to how you handle it.” Grand Uncle said with a stern expression.

Hearing this, General Wu's expression eased a little. He knew that there was no point in continuing this stalemate. Now that there was a way out, he naturally had to cooperate well.

Just like this, General Wu led his large group out of the mansion, leaving behind the Grand Uncle with a gloomy complexion.

Ling Xiao was leisurely tasting the tea-water on the rooftop, and he clearly heard the conversation below.
