Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Siege of Di Residence
It was not until then that he finally realized! Be it the beauty or promises, everything was just fleeting. He finally understood that as a crown prince, what he should really be doing!
But he understood too late, too late, too late…
At the moment, his loyal generals around him were either dead or crippled, and the few remaining were like the dog that has lost its home, everyone acting cautiously with their tails between their legs.
The situation is lost, the situation is lost!
But he was unwilling to give up and refused to give in!
So, in the past half a year, he frequently extended his influence into the imperial court, wanting to regain everything he had lost bit by bit! However, he didn’t expect that Zhao Yuanlang was so capable and quickly found traces of his actions…
Thinking of this, Zhao Jiong’s hands clenched into fists, wishing he could immediately turn Zhao Yuanlang into ashes and leave his bones without existence!
He slammed his hand heavily on the trunk of a large tree, leaving behind a deep palm imprint.
“Go! We will immediately head for Gongzhou City, and establish ourselves as kings there! Let’s turn Gongzhou City into an ironclad fortress! I would like to see how Zhao Yuanlang plans to escape from my territory!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Everyone rejoiced immensely, jumping and shouting excitedly! They had been waiting hard for decades, and finally, the day had come!
“Leave some people here, and the rest will come with me. We will hurry back to Gongzhou City. As for the matters here, leave them all to Shopkeeper Gu!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The cheering shook the heavens!
With the army setting off, Zhao Jiong also tidied up a little and prepared to start.
At this moment, a person beside him reported: “Master, Elderly Mr. Di has been brought back!”
That’s right!
He had sent people to capture Elderly Mr. Di, but at this moment, he felt it was unimportant.
–
Right now, Liu Sisi was standing in the courtyard, coldly observing everything outside.
More accurately, she was observing the people who were surrounding Di Manor.
She had been having a meal just now when Old Cheng had rushed in from outside, flustered.
“Madam, something terrible has happened! There are so many soldiers and horses outside, surrounding our Di Manor, not allowing anyone in or out! This is bad, really bad!”
“Don’t panic. The more anxious you become, the more easily the enemy will exploit you. Hurry up and tell me what’s going on?”
Facing Liu Sisi, who was as unmovable as a mountain, Old Cheng finally calmed down a bit.
“Madam, these people don’t appear to be imperial soldiers. This old servant has observed their attire and they appear more like members of the Li Sect. Madam, what on earth has happened? They are members of the Li Sect… Why has the Li Sect suddenly changed its ways and started attacking Di Manor?”
Wasn’t the Li Sect supposed to be Madam’s protective umbrella?
“Are you saying Zhao Jiong is attacking Di Manor? How many horsemen were involved?”
Liu Sisi was taken aback, with cold sweat on her body: “He is so ruthless, he would actually…”
This was something Liu Sisi had never expected. She knew that Zhao Jiong would not deal with her, but she forgot that not dealing with her did not mean he wouldn’t deal with her family members!
“It seems to be not the Sect Master, but… it’s Meng Caimai!”
