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.
"The good show has started. Fight on the outside and fight on the inside too. I'd like to see which side has the better skills." Ling Xiao laughed, then placed the cup down and left.
In the next few days, Ling Xiao hid within the alley as he quietly waited for the changes outside.
The little girl had already been taken care of completely by Ling Xiao, and she was extremely tired of him, so much that she refused to even take a step away.
This caused Ling Xiao to be troubled, because he had to meditate, but this pitiful guy had to be coaxed by him.
At this moment, the little girl had already shed her dust, revealing a cute appearance. Her skin was fair and her dimples were shallow. When she smiled, it was like rippling spring water.
Furthermore, with the clear and pure look in her eyes, even Ling Xiao would be enchanted by it. This was because she was still young, and if she grew up, she would definitely be a peerless beauty.
However, from the looks of it, this supreme beauty already belonged to him.
"Big Brother Ling Xiao, these past few days have been so noisy outside." The little girl pouted and said.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao patted the little girl's head and said softly while laughing: "Ling Er, this is because a fight is happening outside. Very soon, peace will be restored here."
Ling Er looked at Ling Xiao and nodded, as if he understood something.
It was the King Chu's army and the imperial uncle's forces that were fighting.
Of course, Grand Uncle didn't give General Wu a satisfactory answer. After General Wu left the mansion, he immediately mobilized all the forces and began to launch a surprise attack on the King Chu's army.
Soon after, the troops of the King Chu, under the lead of General Wu, immediately launched their counterattacks.
But in the end, Grand Uncle's forces took the geographical advantage and obtained the final victory. However, in order to burn down the army of the King Chu, Grand Uncle's forces also suffered heavy casualties.
This was a battle in which the enemy was injured one thousand times and the enemy was killed eight hundred times.
When no longer cries could be heard outside and the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard, Ling Xiao brought Ling Er out of the dark alley.
The messy streets, the broken weapons and cloth covered in blood, all proved that there had been a fierce battle.
Ling Er hid behind Ling Xiao, and was a little afraid.
Ling Xiao reached out and grabbed Ling Er's hand to comfort him.
"Big brother Ling Xiao, has it all ended?" Ling Er asked softly.
Ling Xiao raised his head to look at Grand Uncle's estate, and indifferently said: "Soon, I'll bring you to a place, where you can capture a person, and then, a few will be finished."
After Ling Er heard this, she nodded happily and said, "Alright!"
In the depths of the estate, Grand Uncle Huang was sitting in a courtyard. Compared to a few days ago, his head of white hair was somewhat more numerous. In between, he was looking at the flower beds with a haggard expression.
"You actually didn't think of a way to escape? This is somewhat out of my expectations." Ling Xiao's voice slowly resounded.
The Grand Uncle turned his head and saw that familiar yet terrifying face. His pupils contracted, and then he saw a shy little girl beside Ling Xiao.
