Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

In the inner courtyard of the Wu Mansion, a beautiful young woman with disheveled clothes was pulled by her hair, scolded loudly and slapped by Mrs. Wu!

The old housekeeper and several attendants gathered tightly around Cheng Lei.

Cheng Lei has a rough face and is as short as Wu Zhixiong, but much stronger.

Cheng Lei was getting dressed at the moment, looking at the sun rising high in the sky, his face full of anxiety, but it was not because his affair was discovered, but because he was late to greet the King of Chu.

Damn it!

Why did he wake up so late from his sleep today? King Chu would just blame him.

Looking at Mrs. Wu who was glaring at him, Cheng Lei hurriedly said:

"Mrs. Wu, don't blame me. It was Xiaomei who seduced me first. I have important things to deal with now. I will apologize later. You can beat me or scold me as you like."

Xiaomei is the beautiful young woman who was beaten and scolded by Mrs. Wu. She is Wu Zhixiong's most beloved concubine.

After saying that, Cheng Lei was ready to leave.

After hearing Cheng Lei's words, Xiaomei, who had let Mrs. Wu beat her up, suddenly raised her head and looked at Cheng Lei in disbelief.

Last night, Cheng Lei and I were so excited that we were exhausted. As a result, we got up late this morning and were discovered by the old housekeeper!

She knew that with Cheng Lei's status as captain, the Wu family without Wu Zhixiong would not dare to do anything to her.

But now that Cheng Lei said that she seduced him, Xiaomei knew that she was finished!

Cheng Lei was obviously just toying with her!

The angry Xiaomei pushed Mrs. Wu away, pointed at Cheng Lei and cursed:

"Cheng Lei, you bitch, I'm really blind. It's obvious that you have always been greedy for my beauty. When Wu Zhixiong was here, you looked at me with that disgusting look. After Wu Zhixiong died, you saw me wearing Dressed in filial piety, he raped me that night, and then sneaked into my room every night to sweet talk me!"

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Cheng Lei heard Xiaomei scolding and roared. Without any unnecessary words, he wanted to leave quickly. He pushed the old housekeeper and the guards away with one hand and strode away.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he was blocked by the angry Wu Kun, followed by Li Yuan, Lin Feng, Zhang Hongxing and other officials.

They heard the conversation inside just now clearly.

Lin Feng, Zhang Hongxing, Wang Yi and other officials looked at Cheng Lei who came out with strange eyes.

They knew that Cheng Lei was as lustful as Wu Zhixiong.

As Wu Zhixiong's most trusted subordinate, he actually had sex with his superior's concubine, and Wu Zhixiong had just died!

Now the affair has been discovered!

What’s even more serious is that King Chu is actually present!

When Cheng Lei looked past Wu Kun at the handsome young man surrounded by Lin Feng and Zhang Hongxing, his vision went dark and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.

Cheng Lei looked at Li Yuan eagerly and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Li Yuan looked at Cheng Lei expressionlessly.

Wu Kun felt extremely humiliated at this moment, with endless killing intent pouring out of his heart. He turned around and knelt in front of Li Yuan:

"Please ask His Highness the King of Chu to make the decision for the Wu family!"

At this time, Mrs. Wu and other family members also knelt down when they saw Li Yuan arriving.

"Please, Your Highness, make the decision for our Wu family!"

"You guys get up first."

Li Yuan looked at the Wu family members who were kneeling and said softly. When he looked at Cheng Lei, his face became extremely cold.

"Captain Cheng, did you know that I didn't see you at the city gate today? I thought you were delayed by something, and I wanted to explain it to the officials for you!"

"Mo...mo general!"

At this moment, Cheng Lei felt the crushing feeling on Li Yuan's body and knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to face Li Yuan.

"Captain Cheng, do you know your guilt?"

"The general will finally be convicted!"

Facing everyone's looks, Cheng Lei could only admit it.

"Okay, Deputy Lieutenant Wang, tie up Captain Cheng!"

"yes!"

When Cheng Lei saw that Li Yuan actually let his deputy lieutenant kidnap him, he was moved in his heart. He was the captain of Lianyang County, and His Highness must still need to control the guards himself, so His Highness would probably handle it with ease. Once he leaves the Wu family, His Highness will Free yourself.

So Cheng Lei cooperated very well and was tied up by Wang Yi who came over.

Li Yuan turned to Wu Kun, Mrs. Wu and others and said:

"On the first day I came to Lianyang County, I came to visit the Wu Mansion. I felt guilty for the attack by Governor Wu. Firstly, I wanted to take care of the Wu family. Secondly, I also wanted to make an explanation for my favorite general Yu Wen Chengdu."

"For the death of Commander Wu, some people rumored that the princess sent someone to attack and kill him, while others said that the king sent Yuwen Chengdu to attack and kill him, and some even said that Yuwen Chengdu was one of the princess's men!"

Following Li Yuan's words, everyone looked at the tall and mighty Yuwen Chengdu behind Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at Wu Kun and asked, "Master Wu, what is Commander Wu's cultivation level?"

"My father's master's later cultivation."

"What is the cultivation level of Commander Wu's grandmaster guard?"

"It's also the late stage of Grand Master!"

The hatred towards Yuwen Chengdu in Wu Kun's eyes became lighter and lighter.

"Chengdu is only in the middle stage of Grand Master. Do you think he can defeat two late Grand Masters in one move?"

Suddenly, not only Wu Kun, but also Lin Feng and others shook their heads slightly.

"Haha, did you know that some time ago, someone pretended to be me and went to the Flower House. If someone hadn't been clever enough to expose it at that time, everyone else would have thought that I had gone to the Flower House to snatch the oiran from others!"

Everyone looked at each other, and they had all heard that this was the first news His Highness King Chu had when he came to Lingyang Mansion, and it had already spread throughout Lingyang Mansion.

Li Yuan looked at Wu Kun and said extremely seriously:

"The rumors stop with the wise. This king brought Yuwen Chengdu here just to prove his innocence. If there are still people who say that Yuwen Chengdu attacked and killed Governor Wu, let him provide evidence!

I will not let anyone fool me. I want to use rumors to cover up the mastermind behind the attack and murder of Commander Wu. I will definitely find him and give Justice to Commander Wu! "

"Thank you, King Chu!"

Everyone in the Wu family paid their respects.

"Your Highness, it's tied up!"

Cheng Lei, who was tightly bound, was brought to Li Yuan by Wang Yi.

Yuwen Chengdu took two steps forward, grabbed Cheng Lei's shoulder with one hand, and infuriated Qi from his arm into Cheng Lei's body instantly, blocking Cheng Lei's acupuncture points.

Cheng Lei opened his eyes wide, looked up suddenly at Li Yuan, and couldn't help but scream:

"Your Highness?"

"Today, this king will seek justice for the Wu family!"

When Li Yuan's deep eyes looked at Cheng Lei calmly, Cheng Lei suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Wu Kun, I ask you, if Commander Wu is still here, what would he do if someone had an affair with his concubine?"

Wu Kun raised his head, stared at Cheng Lei and said:

"I'm telling you, Your Highness, my father hates this kind of people the most in his life. He deserves to be killed!"

"good!"

"Then kill!"

Li Yuanping's calm words shocked Lin Feng and all the officials behind him, and they all looked up at Li Yuan.

Only the corners of Jia Xu's mouth, which was covered by the feather fan, slightly rose invisibly.

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

Cheng Lei's eyes widened and he shouted hurriedly.

Yuwen Chengdu shook Cheng Lei's shoulder, and the violent force directly shattered Cheng Lei's heart!

Bang!

There was a dull sound, and before anyone had time to react, Cheng Lei died!
