Chapter 143.9

Jiang Hua remembered the battle report. Tuoba Yu was originally chasing the Fourth Prince of Mo Bei, but he ran into the 500,000-strong Mo Bei army that had already assembled at the border of Da Li. Yes, everyone knew that the Mo Bei army was gathering in secret, but no one knew when they would launch an attack. In an unfortunate turn of events, they just had to be bumped into by Tuoba Yu! Not only that, but he also perfectly repelled this huge army using a terrifying method— attacking with fire. If the direction of the wind had changed at that time, Tuoba Yu surely would have died and Da Li’s 100,000 troops would have been completely annihilated. However, he won without bloodshed, which was nothing less than a perfect execution!

At the same time, the Emperor was overjoyed, giving up his original plan to activate the Jiang family. Jiang Hua didn’t understand what went wrong. Didn’t Li Yuan Heng say that he could control Li Weiyang in the palms of his hands? If so, why did the person he abducted in the end become a Consort Dowager Liu? Li Yuan Heng not only became the laughingstock of the whole world, but he had also been the cause of the 500,000 deaths that were lost in the strange battlefield.

Now, Jiang Hua looked at the corpses that were sprayed out all over the floor and Li Weiyang’s face suddenly appeared in his mind.

She was smiling— quietly, mercilessly and somewhat full of nonchalant sarcasm.

She had been silent the entire time. She just pretended to let Li Yuan Heng think of himself as crafty, making him think that all the chances of winning were in his hands as it was only a matter of time for Li Weiyang to be ruined. However, she had been planning to let Li Yuan Heng flee and have Mo Bei lose miserably from the start whilst watching him and Li Yuan Heng form a death feud! 

He should have guessed it was the case a long time ago. On the night when the Jiang family’s steward disappeared inexplicably, he should have thought about this possibility since then. Li Weiyang must have used a method to make Li Yuan Heng think that everything was planned by him. In a rage, Li Yuan Heng would probably ignore all traces of logic. He wouldn’t bat an eyelash even as he massacred almost the entire Jiang family to vent their anger. And he would kill all but one, which was Jiang Hua, to make sure that he watched as the very same batch of men he trained were the ones killing his entire family…

Hahahahahahaha, Jiang Hua’s closest relatives died at the hands of the killers he had trained. What a joke, what a joke!

Yao Changqing looked at the crazy Jiang Hua and hurriedly ordered some men to go up and look after him. Although Jiang Hua was staggering, his strength was incomparable. He suddenly walked to the side room, and when he came out again, his hands had already lit up a torch. When the fire was lit, the light blue flame ignited at one point, swaying and rushing into the air and objects around him. Soon, the bed and the curtains in the Jiang Residence were on fire whilst Yao Changqing stared at him in disbelief. Thinking that he was going to burn down the house and the corpses of the Jiang family, he yelled, “Hurry up and hold the Third Young Master!”

The guards rushed up and held Jiang Hua firmly. Jiang Hua only felt a wave of nauseating sweetness in his throat. Blood gushed out of his mouth like a floodgate that couldn’t be closed! He lowered his head and saw that his chest was covered with bright red streaks of blood, making him start to cackle wildly!

He regretted so, so much for his actions. If he had not trained these people for Li Yuan Heng, the Jiang family would not have died; if he had not let Li Yuan Heng enter the capital, the Jiang family would not have died; if he had ignored all the future scenarios and bravely used this group of men for his plans, Li Weiyang would have been the one to die by now! 

Li Weiyang, step by step, you retreated as you advanced and lured the enemy deep into your trap just for this fatal blow!

Li Weiyang, oh Li Weiyang, you have a deep scheming and a poisonous heart. No one in the world can compare to you!

In the end, he covered his chest with one hand and bent down. Everyone saw that the third son of the Jiang family, who had always been the brightest, wisest and proudest soul of all, curled up into a ball as he cried like a child!
