Chapter 739: Chapter 739: Liu Sisi VS Zhao Jiong

Meng Caimai’s eyes widened in shock. Before he could even react, he was already slain on the spot by Liu Sisi.

“We have served each other after all, it is only right that I see you off. No need for thanks. However, in your next life, remember not to choose the wrong side and lose your life in vain.”

After speaking, she slowly stepped back two steps, allowing Meng Caimai’s corpse to fall to the ground. Blood quickly spread on the ground outside the main entrance of the Di Residence.

“Ah!”

“Help!”

The housemaids and old women were a mess, their panicked footsteps echoing loudly as they scattered.

However, a moment later, with a sweeping gaze from Liu Sisi, nearly everyone slowly calmed down, not daring to raise their heads to look at her again.

This was the first time they had witnessed a murder committed in front of everyone, and the person who committed the murder was their gentle and approachable lady. How could they not be surprised? How could they not be scared?

Liu Sisi did not comfort anyone. Instead, she pointed again at the troops surrounding the Di Residence with her dagger in her hand.

“In the past, I have worked with Meng Caimai for over a year and now he tells me, each to his own. Each to his own! I, Liu Sisi, raised him for a year only to raise a traitor! He deserves to die!”

Liu Sisi said, her voice rising and falling, showing no ounce of mercy.

“Someone, drag this man down, chop him up and feed him to the dogs for your Prefecture Princess!”

If these people don’t give her, Liu Sisi, any face, there’s no need for her to be nice to them. The so-called killing a chicken to scare the monkey — she’ll use Meng Caimai as that chicken to make an example today.

“Yes, Prefecture Princess!”

Two brave servants stepped out from the crowd and quickly dragged Meng Caimai’s corpse away.

Liu Sisi once again swept her gaze over everyone, then turned back to the troops still besieging the Di Residence.

She laughed coldly, “Likewise, if I, Liu Sisi, ever find out who dares to serve two masters and betray me, I, Liu Sisi, will remember him, but my knife won’t remember him!”

In the troop, there were not a few who had previously risked their lives for Liu Sisi or were commanded by her. Now that Meng Caimai, the leader, was dead, everyone was thinking of retreating.

“What’s the matter? Do you truly wish to follow in Meng Caimai’s footsteps? The outcome of his error is right here, do you still want to try?”

Liu Sisi stepped forward, her face lit with a slight smile and a gleam in her eyes.

“No matter how the Sect Master and I quarrel, it ultimately only involves our father-daughter relationship. What are you doing in the middle? Have you received orders that if I, Liu Sisi, resist just directly kill me? Hmm!”

Liu Sisi pressured them with each step forward, her momentum soaring.

She was betting that Zhao Jiong, given his arrogance, would never publicly reveal this secret that she is not his daughter! Therefore, these people were stuck in this predicament.

The besieging troops retreated step by step but were precisely held over a barrel by Liu Sisi, leaving them indecisive.

“To be honest with you, even if you all died here, wouldn’t it be dying in vain! No one will pity or sympathize with you, instead they will say you brought it on yourselves, unable to read the situation. Yes! Unable to read the situation, just a group of stupid pigs who can’t read faces!”

The besieging troops exchanged glances, each one cursing in their hearts.

It was truly a case of bystanders suffering when the gods fight. The father and daughter’s quarrel ended up causing their deaths in vain…

With this in mind, the encirclement obviously slackened considerably.

Liu Sisi strode forward, having already descended from the steps of the Di Residence. “Now, I, the Prefecture Princess, am going to settle the score with him. Who among you dares to hinder me? Hmm?”

“We wouldn’t dare!”

Everyone hastily bowed their heads in submission, not daring to make any further movement.

“Hmph, truly a bunch of people who do not know the right moment to act!”

Having said this loudly, Liu Sisi directly walked down the stairs in front of Di Residence.

Just as she was about to successfully leave the Di Residence, a cloud of dust arose in front of her; Zhao Jiong jumped down from horseback. Seeing Liu Sisi standing in front of him, he raised his eyebrows in surprise!

“It’s truly unexpected, I deployed a total of 5,000 troops, yet I was not able to trap you, a woman with the strength of a chicken. Should I blame my subservient for being worthless, or should I say that you, Liu Sisi, are too cunning?”

With Zhao Jiong showing up, it seemed that she had no chance of escaping today! Since there was no escaping, she might as well face him directly.

Standing on the stone steps, Liu Sisi defiantly gazed at him. “Zhao Jiong, where is Ye Lei? Where have you hidden him?”

–

“What do you want to say?”

Zhao Yuanlang kept walking until he reached the open space on the outside of the Taoist temple’s wall, then turned around to look at Di Yelei.

The wind here blew directly towards an open space on the side. There was no need to worry about eavesdroppers. Indeed, it was a good place for a conversation.

Di Yelei silently nodded, leant slightly against a nearby small tree. “I think the elder Daoist is suspicious. I deliberately called the Lord Father-in-law here, to make sure we don’t fall into his trap.”

“Indeed, I also find the elder Daoist strange.”

Zhao Yuanlang carefully observed Di Yelei for a while. So long that even Di Yelei could not help but frown, it was then that he asked again, “I am curious, why are you helping me? Didn’t you always help Zhao Jiong in the past? Why have you betrayed him and turned to assist me?”

You must know that no matter the time or dynasty, the punishment for traitors is always severe.

“Lord Father-in-law, you are mistaken! There is only one reason for everything I do!”

Di Yelei extended a finger and gently swung it.

“I used to assist Zhao Jiong because he was Sisi’s biological father. However, I discovered some days ago that you are Sisi’s real father. Given this, it is only right for me to switch sides and help you. Sisi lost her mother at a young age, she can’t lose her father too.”

He, too, was a child without a mother. So, he knew the pain of losing a mother. For this reason, he won’t let Sisi lose her father as well.

A moment of realization flashed in Zhao Yuanlang’s eyes. After all, the incident from that year was overly complex. It was pardonable for Liu Sisi to mistake her biological father!

He patted Di Yelei’s shoulder casually. “Rest assured! No matter what, I will not let the child Ruyu, who was brought back by Xin’er’s life, get hurt!”

“In this case, I am here to thank Lord Father-in-law.”

Di Yelei hurriedly gave a fist greeting in respect.

“Good! Since you are one of us now, I won’t hide this from you. In fact, even before coming to Macheng County, I had mobilized 300,000 troops through both water and land routes. Firstly, to find out whether Zhao Dun was truly mad or faking it, and secondly, to prevent any unforeseen events.”

Di Yelei took in a sharp breath. “If I understand you correctly Lord Father-in-law, as long as we join the main army, we will certainly be victorious and fulfill our mission!”
