Chapter 105 Censuring Motives (1/2)

Wei Baoheng sat on the couch and looked coldly at Wei Jiangnan who was standing in front of him. Two rare pearls spinning around in his hands broke into powder among his fingers, falling down.

Wei Baoheng hadn't been so angry for a long time. He was a powerful minister, so few people could catch up with him in Chang'an City in terms of self-cultivation and cultivation. But now, his face was very gloomy and his precious pearls were crushed by him. He lost control of his temper.

”One cultivator of Level 8 Qi-refining, one cultivator of Level 7 Qi-refining and more than twenty practitioners of Qi techniques set a trap in the Wei River in advance in order to catch a junior who has entered the Qi-refining Stage for less than a year. But you failed finally?”

Cold words came out from Wei Baoheng's mouth and his gaze made Wei Jiangnan feel like thorns on his back. ”Not only did you fail, but many of your men were also caught by him. Even Chen Jianghe's body is now lying in the Chang'an Office! In addition, he made the ruling Prime Minister's brother flee back from the Huangli County in panic like a stray dog!”

Wei Baoheng sat there, making the atmosphere around him chill. He was like a ferocious ghost that would suddenly rise up at any moment and bite at any man. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, there were killing intents in his eyes. ”You disgrace me! And you also make me fall into a dangerous situation that I never have! You're so incompetent that you are useless to me. What can you do?!”

When seeing Wei Baoheng's eyes without any temperature, Wei Jiangnan kept quiet out of fear and ducked his head low immediately. Wei Baoheng's eyes were like two whirlpools, unfathomable, as if they contained great horror and they could devour people's soul like an abyss.

Wei Jiangnan knew that Wei Baoheng was very angry and his anger was like never before. He dared not to explain himself, because the explanation would only deepen Wei Baoheng's anger. Even if the other side was his brother, Wei Jiangnan couldn't help but kneel on the ground with his knees weakened.

Wei Jiangnan knew that he had made a big mistake. The fact that Li Ye had caught Chen Jianghe's men would be a big blow to him. He was extremely frightened and he was afraid that Wei Baoheng would be defeated in this way. In that case, he would be ruined too... But who would have thought beforehand that Li Ye would be so powerful?

Wei Jiangnan wouldn't have thought of it, but would Wei Baoheng have thought of it?

Wei Jiangnan lay prone on the ground and pleaded guilty with his head low. ”Elder, elder brother, I have made a mistake. I'm incompetent. Please punish me!”

Wei Baoheng stared at Wei Jiangnan. The rare pearls broken into powder in his hands turned into thin smoke at this moment and they were burned down by the Spiritual Qi.

Wei Baoheng was already very angry, but there was another news that made him angrier.

One of his trusted stewards came forward with his head low. The steward bent down and reported to him, ”Duke Wei, there is news of Li Keyong.”

Wei Baoheng stared at the steward with his cold eyes. ”I hope it's good news.”

When hearing of Wei Jiangnan's failure, Wei Baoheng also learned that Li Keyong disappeared in Chang'an City for no reason at the same time!

Why would Li Keyong come to Chang'an? It was because Wei Baoheng invited him. What was the purpose of inviting him here? He came to ally himself with Wei Baoheng on behalf of the Zhenwu Army. What was the necessary process to achieve the goal? It was to propose to Duchess of Li.

But after Li Keyong was defeated by Li Ye in public, he disappeared in Chang'an! There was no omen in advance and even no notification to Wei Baoheng!

He couldn't bear the humiliation and he went away angrily, regardless of the overall situation.

What kind of behavior was it? Rash, reckless, and ignorant!

And more importantly, Li Keyong left without saying a word. How much weight of Wei Baoheng in his mind? How much weight of the dignity of the ruling Prime Minister in his mind? And how much weight of the alliance between the two sides in his mind?

Wei Baoheng was furious because he hadn't been slighted like this since he became the ruling Prime Minister! All people were respectful to him, including the civil and military ministers in the court, the officials all over the country and all the ordinary people. Li Keyong's behavior was not a slight but an insult. It was an insult to the authority of a ruling Prime Minister!

The steward could feel Wei Baoheng's anger. Wei Baoheng's unconcealed anger made him feel more frightened when he reported the news. He said in a low voice, ”Li Keyong has already left the capital and crossed the river to the north!”

”What are you talking about? How dare he?!”

”Duke Wei, Li Keyong was forced to do that.”

”Who forced him?”

”He, he was beaten away by Li Ye...”

”What?!”

”The day before yesterday, Li Keyong couldn't bear the humiliation in Emperor's son-in-law's Manor, so he followed Li Ye to the Huangli County when he knew that Li Ye was out of the city. They, they should have a fierce fight. After, afterward, Li Keyong was injured and taken away by Huiming. But his two attendants turned up in Li Ye's team and went to Prince An's Manor! They seemed, seemed...”

”They seemed what?”

”They seemed to follow Li Ye and turn to Li Ye's side!”

The house suddenly became quiet and no one spoke again, as if the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

The quietness was extremely weird.

Wei Jiangnan was lying on his stomach and the steward was bending over. Both of them dared not to make a sound.

Only Wei Baoheng was like a beast about to run wild. The muscles on his face were twitching, his eyes turned red, and his breath became heavy.

Suddenly, Wei Baoheng let out a roar from his throat. He raised his hand and then he pressed it down heavily.

”Bang.” Wei Jiangnan and the steward were shaken backward by the waves of Qi. Wei Jiangnan smashed the door and fell in the courtyard, vomiting blood. The steward knocked over the tables and chairs, inserted into the wall and passed out with his eyes rolling!

Everything in the house was turned over. Treasures shattered on the floor, the beam shook violently, and dust kept falling down. The entire house seemed to collapse. A three-decimeter-depth hole appeared in front of Wei Baoheng, which was extraordinary terrifying.
