Chapter 199 - Night Attack!

Chapter 199 Night Attack!

“Wu Lirong… How do you know the name?”

Dongfang Rui was stunned. People used to mention the name when he was young. Nowadays, no one would mention it. How did Su Li know it?

He suddenly realized that he knew Su Li shallowly. He didn’t know how she grew up under the oppression of Zhu Yan, and how she became the lecturer of the Affiliated School of the National Academy.

Now she had only stayed in Yunjing less than a year, but her ability of collecting information far exceeded his, while he grew up in Yunjing.

Su Li slightly squinted and didn’t answer him.

In the previous life, Su Zipei became the princess of the General’s Mansion. Shortly afterwards, Lord Rui remarried. His second wife was Wu Lirong who was from the Wu Family.

At that time, Wu Lirong was a widow. Her husband died early. There was a rumor about her among the common people. They said that she was fated to mourn her husband’s death. Therefore, when Lord Rui married her, some disputes were caused. Afterwards, Su Li poisoned Lord Rui, which seemed to confirm the rumor about Wu Lirong.

“I just guess.” Su Li answered. She stopped thinking of it and looked up at Dongfang Rui. She asked, “What’s the relationship between Wu Lirong and my mother?”

Dongfang Rui looked gloomy. He finally spoke about the score in those years.

In that year, Su Yun studied in Yunjing and fell in love with Dongfang Rui. Wu Lirong, who also studied in the National Academy, also loved Dongfang Rui.

Wu Lirong was the daughter of a general. Whether her status or her identity was much higher than that of Su Yun. In Wu Lirong’s view, it was not difficult for Dongfang Rui to make a choice between her and Su Yun.

Later, Dongfang Rui told her with action that it was not difficult to make a choice, but it was not her.

Dongfang Xiao agreed the marriage and also praised Su Yun that she was the most intelligent woman in Dahan Country. Wu Lirong was resentful and jealous of Su Yun in her heart. These moods finally became hatred. On the night before the wedding of Dongfang Rui and Su Yun, she invited Su Yun to come out in the name of Su Yun’s sister, Su Yue. Su Yun really kept the appointment alone and fell into the trap.

Then Dongfang Rui stopped talking. The room was in silence for a moment.

Dongfang Xiao did not tell him what happened next. It was enough for him to know that Wu Lirong set the trap and killed Su Yun.

“Since Wu Lirong could send pursuers, she must had gotten the permission of her father. But I don’t care whether she sent pursuers secretly or above board. That’s none of my business.”

Dongfang Rui clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth in hatred. He said, “Only when I get Wu Lirong’s head, I would be worthy of your mother.”

Wu Bin heard it and felt an upsurge of emotion. Such a loving man was rare in the world. He would never regret following Master even if he would die in the end!

However, Su Li had a cold smile. She threw cold water on him without mercy. She said, “Dongfang Xiao asked you to deal with the Wu Family. Should you be willing to be manipulated by him?!”

Dongfang Rui slightly frowned. Although he and his Third Brother and him was not so close, it was too unscrupulous that Su Li suddenly and bluntly said the name, “Dongfang Xiao”.

“Miss…” Wu Bin’s expression also slightly changed.

Su Li turned her head. Her gaze stopped Wu Bin to speak. Then she said, “If my mother were still by your side, she would persuade you to look before you leap. Think about it. If you attack the Wu Family with an army, will you cause chaos in Yunjing City?”

“I…”

Dongfang Rui hesitated to answer. He only thought of revenge in his heart and did not think about the consequences of attacking the Wu Family.

Su Li was disappointed in the reaction of Dongfang Rui. But on second thought, if her father had been smart enough, he would have not been manipulated by Su Zipei in the previous life. He was more brave than wise. He could only have some achievements in training warriors. She should have thought of it.

“Miss, please speak frankly.” Wu Bin was a little anxious and couldn’t help but ask, “After Master made the decision, I felt that something is amiss but couldn’t think of a reason.”

Su Li glazed at Wu Bin and then said to Dongfang Rui, “I heard that you set the date for the auction. It’s the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is a lucky day. But once the date is set, it means that various sects in the martial arts circle will come to Yunjing City.”

Dongfang Rui’s expression finally changed. The biggest dream of each sect in the martial arts circle was to have a country as their supporter. If he caused chaos in Yunjing City this time, there would be an opportunity for those sects to take advantage. Brother had been the emperor for many years. How could he make such a stupid mistake?

“Dongfang Xiao is old. All his princes are staring at the throne. Each of them has his own thoughts, just like you in those years.”

Su Li said with a meaningful smile, “I don’t know your thoughts about watching Dongfang Xiao triumph over other opponents and ascend the throne of the Dahan Country. But his sons apparently do not inherit his scheming. First Prince worked with the Hehuan Sect. Third Prince also had advisers from a sect. What do you think Dongfang Xiao’s thoughts when he saw this situation?”

“I…” Dongfang Rui looked gloomy. Since Su Li had explained it clearly, if he still hadn’t understood it, he would have been an idiot.

Dongfang Xiao wanted to take advantage of him to eliminate the sects behind princes!

Dongfang Rui felt bitter in his heart. When his Third Brother told him about the Wu Family, he really thought that his Third Brother was softhearted.

It turned out that his Third Brother thought so.

Su Li’s analysis was well-founded. Dongfang Rui had no reason to disbelieve her. He saw that his own daughter not only grew up, but also inherited her mother’s talent and intelligence. Dongfang Rui was thankful.

“Yun, you don’t want me to be painful and stupid, so, you sent her to come to me, right?” He thought.

“Although she still doesn’t accept me as her father and even will not accept me forever, I’m already satisfied.”

Dongfang Rui’s heart seemed to rise and fall like the waves. He eventually calmed down. He stared at Su Li and said, “So… what do you think I should do?”

Su Li looked serious and said, “I just made a suggestion. You should make a decision by yourself. Since I can notice the movements of the mansion, Dongfang Xiao and other sects can also notice. The arrow is fitted to the string. You have to shoot it. But there are many ways to attack the Wu Family…”

After an hour, the tea was cold.

Su Li stood up and gave a salute. Then she left the mansion without saying anything. Dongfang Xiao knew the character of Dongfang Rui well, but Su Li’s participation was unexpected for him.

After going back to the Affiliated School, Su Li immediately began to refine a large number of elixirs, including poisons and vulneraries.

Fortunately, Wu Bin was clever. He thought that Su Li would be busy in refining elixirs, so, he sent a large number of herbs. He moved eighty percent of inventory in the mansion to her.

Su Li did not refuse because she had insufficient herbs indeed. Some herbs couldn’t be bought with silver. Only highborn people like Dongfang Rui were qualified to get them. If she had bluntly refused only because of the agreement between Dongfang Rui and her, she would have been too childish.

In this way, Wu Bin saw the hope of making Miss’s peace with Master. Therefore, he immediately spent a lot of money to purchase herbs.

It could be said that days were peaceful, or days were unquiet. As time went by, it was September 15.

It rained cats and dogs that day.

The entire Yunjing City was shrouded in rain. There were few pedestrians on the street. People usually were unwilling to go out on rainy days.

There were thousands of Royal Guards in front of the Lord Rui’s Mansion. They were ready to go. There was an awful atmosphere!

Dongfang Rui dressed in martial attire. He looked very serious. The rain dripped down along the edge of the helmet. Wu Bin, who was next to him, also looked serious. He held a spear and shouted, “March!”

Boom!!

Horses were galloping ahead, splashing muddy water!

In the twinkling of an eye, the General Wu’s Mansion was surrounded. Many people who thought that Dongfang Rui would rebel were stunned.

The target of Dongfang Rui was actually the General Wu’s Mansion. Why?

It’s said that Dongfang Rui almost married the daughter of the Wu Family. How could they resort to arms now?

The Wu Family had been in a mess since it was suddenly surrounded. The women living in the backyard even began to pack up and run away. Only people who were the direct line of descent sat in the main house calmly.

“Dad, there must be some misunderstanding. May I go out and negotiate with him?”

Wu Jin stood out and said. Wu Xiuxiu was so worried. Her stupid brother came forward at this time. It would cause death.

General Wu Suijun looked at Wu Jin with admiration. Then he said with a deep voice, “It’s inappropriate! Jin, hide yourself in the tunnel with Xiu. Lord Rui makes adequate preparations. It is a Greek gift. He won’t give up easily. I will meet him personally!”

“Dad!”

All his sons and daughters in the room instantly looked anxious. Wu Suijun was the pillar of the Wu Family. If something bad happened on him, the Wu Family would fall apart.

“It’s settled!” Wu Suijun stood up and sneered. He said, “I don’t believe that Dongfang Rui dares to kill me!”

At this time, Wu Bin’s voice, which was full of homicidal intent, suddenly sounded in the mansion. He shouted, “With the order of the emperor, Eighth Lord personally comes specially to apprehend the murderer of killing Su Yun, Wu Lirong! If anyone dares to intercept, kill him or her!”

Wu Suijun’s expression changed greatly. Dongfang Rui did not act as usual. He wanted to exterminate the entire Wu Family, but he didn’t speak frankly. Even if the Wu Family were exterminated, Dongfang Rui could use the reason that they all intercepted him to apprehend the murderer to explain away.

Dongfang Rui used to be upright and only read books of sages. When did he become so sinister?!

“Do it!”

For a time, there were constant shouts and screams in the Wu Family. Whether Wu Bin or Dongfang Rui didn’t show any mercy. They had been suppressed for too long.

In the misty rain, Su Li stood on the roof and looked at the flaming mansion of the Wu Family. She slightly smiled.

“Dongfang Xiao, you want to take advantage of Dongfang Rui. But I don’t agree.” She thought.

Fang Yuan stood next to her and held an umbrella over Su Li. He couldn’t help but transmit the sound in silence, “We… won’t we help them?”

Su Li shook her head slightly and looked at the shadows flashing though the roof in the dark. She said, “We still have more important things to do. Ask Qu Qingning to pay attention to Wu Lirong. As long as he kills her, it will be considered that the Wu Family pays the interest.”

Fang Yuan said “hum” slightly. He turned to look into the distance. The rain was noisy. Other sects could hardly find them. Besides, Su Li arranged the tactical matrix in advance. Even if those people passed them, they might not notice them.

The first group of black shadows soon arrived at the street where the Wu Family was located. The leader was Elder Dao, who arrived in Yunjing a few days ago.

Elder Dao glazed at the street by his psychic awareness. He found the Royal Guards and Dongfang Rui who stood outside the door. He immediately sneered.

The Wu Family was subordinate to First Prince. The Hehuan Sect didn’t stop collaborating with First Prince. Naturally, they should keep mutual benefit and look out for each other. There were not many people around Dongfang Rui. As long as he captured Dongfang Rui and threatened others, the crisis of the Wu Family would be eliminated.

As for killing Dongfang Rui… he didn’t want to provoke the Dongfang Family for the Hehuan Sect.

“Come with me to capture Dongfang Rui. Don’t care about others!”

Elder Dao secretly transmitted the sound in silence. People of the Hehuan Sect immediately executed the command. In a blink of an eye, they were close to Dongfang Rui less than 50 meters.

At this time!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Eight men in black robes jumped from the roof of the next building at the same time and went to kill people of the Hehuan Sect without saying anything. As soon as they fought, people of the Hehuan Sect immediately screamed and fell down. Their blood incarnadined the rain water.

Elder Dao were stunned. There were eight seniors of the inborn realm, and they were all warriors of inborn fourth hurdle. Dongfang Rui actually had preparations to meet contingencies. He miscalculated!
