Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 435 - How Bold



Chapter 435: How Bold

When he heard Chunyu Dong call Shangguan Dian ‘Cousin,’ Xiahou Tang was shocked.

Why was Chunyu Dong’s cousin in cahoots with Lu Zhou and the rest?

“Why have the two of you come here?”

Chunyu Dong glanced at the hole and looked up at Shangguan Dian and Lu Zhou with a smile.

“We will do whatever Lord Chunyu is here for.”

Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng also walked out of the boundary.

“Chu Sihan?!”

Xiahou Tang felt that he was finished.

No, the Crown Prince was finished!

Since Chu Sihan was here, didn’t this mean that the Crown Prince’s request for people to forge weapons had been exposed?

“Oh?”

Chunyu Dong was surprised. “You’re Chu Sihan, the youngest magistrate in Xuan Yue Country?”

Chu Sihan smiled faintly. “You flatter me.”

“Forget about you. Why is there a girl?”

When Chunyu Dong saw Lu Sheng, who was beside Chu Sihan, he raised his eyebrows.

Although Chu Sihan had a mortal body, one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.

However, this girl…

She looked like a mortal.

Why did this group of people bring a mortal girl here?

“What?”

Lu Sheng glanced at him and asked, “Can’t a girl come over?”

“Huh?”

Why did this girl’s tone and expression look so familiar?

Chunyu Dong felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

“Girl, have we met before?”

Other than that, he really did not understand why he felt that this girl’s words and expressions looked a little familiar.

“No.”

Lu Sheng answered truthfully.

She had indeed never seen Chunyu Dong. This was the first time she had seen him.

“Haven’t I seen you before?” Chunyu Dong frowned. “That’s strange.”

Shangguan Dian smiled but did not say anything.

Chunyu Dong scanned them and smiled faintly. “It seems like you already know?”

“Know what?”

Lu Zhou said calmly, “Know your real identity, or something else?”

“Junior Brother.”

Chunyu Dong sighed softly. “It’s only been a few decades. Where did your intelligence go?”

Lu Zhou’s face darkened. “Enough nonsense. You colluded with the Crown Prince to create weapons and tried to usurp the throne. What are your intentions?”

“I’ve been wronged!”

Chunyu Dong raised his hands in surrender. “I don’t have that intention.”

Lu Zhou sneered. “If not, why are you here?”

“I’m bored.”

Chunyu Dong shook open the fan in his hand and fanned it twice. His smile remained as he said, “I’ve stayed in the mortal world for decades. It’s too boring.”

“Do you know that because of your boredom, people might suffer a tragic fate?”

Chu Sihan looked at him sternly and spoke coldly.

“It’s just a calamity.”

Chunyu Dong smiled disdainfully and looked up at him. “Moreover, the consequences have nothing to do with me.”

He only experienced the joy of participating in the process. As for the rest, it did not matter.

“Don’t waste your breath on him.”

Lu Zhou said to Chu Sihan, “The State Minister should have already informed His Majesty. We don’t have to care about this anymore.”

Xiahou Tang’s expression changed drastically when he heard that.

He had just fused with this body. If he died again, his soul might really dissipate.

It seemed like there was no hope for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, and the State Minister bore a grudge against him. He could not return to the capital anymore.

However, he could not let them leave just like that!

His eyes darted around before he hurriedly said to Chunyu Dong, “Lord, if we let them leave just like that, you might not be able to keep your position as the magistrate!”

Chunyu Dong raised his eyebrows and said, “What you said makes sense. Why don’t… you go?”

Xiahou Tang was speechless.

If he could defeat them, would he still count on him?

Lan Yi glanced at Xiahou Tang expressionlessly, and a murderous glint flashed across his eyes.

Anyone who dared to sow discord deserved to die!

“Disciple.”

Lu Zhou shouted.

Lu Sheng understood and stood up. She smiled at Xiahou Tang and asked, “If you can defeat me, I’ll get the State Minister to let you off.”

Xiahou Tang had never seen Lu Sheng before, but he had heard about her deeds from the Crown Prince.

And…

It would have been alright if she was the previous Third Prince’s disciple. Now that he knew that this Third Prince was no longer the previous Third Prince, how would he dare to rashly accept the challenge?

“Humph!”

Qing Yi snorted coldly in disdain. “You can’t even handle a little girl. How embarrassing.”

Xiahou Tang’s expression was very ugly, but he did not dare to retort.

Because Qing Yi was right. He did not dare to.

Chunyu Dong ignored their conversation and sized up Lu Sheng.

After a while, he finally understood. “No wonder it feels familiar.”

Wasn’t Lu Sheng’s tone and expression when she spoke to him just now the same as when Lu Zhou spoke to him?

However…

Why would his Junior Brother take a girl as his disciple? Furthermore, she was a mortal girl.

“Are we fighting or not?”

Lu Zhou said calmly, “If we’re not, we’re leaving.”

“But I think he has a point.”

Chunyu Dong looked at Lu Zhou and said, “If Junior Brother leaves, I won’t be able to wear this hat on my head anymore.”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Isn’t this hat still on your head?”

Chunyu Dong was speechless.

He could not retort…

“Don’t worry. With your personality, it’s only a matter of time before you stop becoming an official.”

Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow at Xiahou Tang and said lightly, “As for Grand Tutor Xiahou…”

He laughed coldly. “Even if the State Minister can’t handle you, you won’t live for long.”

“The State Minister can’t handle you, but I can.”

Chu Sihan said meaningfully before leading Lu Sheng down the mountain.

Lu Zhou glanced at Lan Yi and whispered to Shangguan Dian, “Let’s go.”

“Cousin, goodbye!”

Shangguan Dian had just bowed to Chunyu Dong and bade him farewell when Lu Zhou pulled him away.

“Oh—”

As soon as they disappeared, the smile on Chunyu Dong’s face disappeared. He struck out with his palm and sent Xiahou Tang flying.

Xiahou Tang knocked onto the hole and fell down.

He clutched his chest and blood flowed from the corner of his lips. However, he looked at Chunyu Dong in disbelief.

“Lord Chunyu, what do you mean by this?”

Chunyu Dong walked in front of him expressionlessly and said condescendingly, “How dare you pin your petty thoughts on me? You’re quite bold.”

Xiahou Tang was shocked and hurriedly denied, “Lord, what are you saying? I don’t understand!”

“You don’t understand?”

Qing Yi snorted coldly. “You want my master to deal with Lu Zhou for you? Dream on!”

His master treated this Junior Brother of his very well.

Otherwise, he would not have risked being struck by lightning back then to save Lan Yi.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhou didn’t know how to appreciate favors and always went against his master. He was very annoying.

Xiahou Tang was really unlucky. He actually stepped on his master’s bottom line. Giving him a slap was already considered light.

“Lord, was what I said wrong?”

Xiahou Tang retorted defiantly, “Let them go and Lu Zhou and the rest will definitely betray you. Also, Chu Sihan is the Prime Minister’s nephew.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Chunyu Dong swore and looked down at him again. “As for you and the Crown Prince, that’s hard to say.”

Xiahou Tang widened his eyes. “Lord, what do you mean?”

Could Chunyu Dong and Chu Sihan be in cahoots?

However, Lu Zhou’s attitude towards him did not seem like they were on the same side.

“Although he doesn’t admit that he’s Lord Chunyu’s Junior Brother, he still treats Lord Chunyu as his Senior Brother. Moreover, Lord Chunyu has never helped you from the start.”

Lan Yi’s expression was indifferent from the start to the end.

Xiahou Tang looked confused, not understanding what he meant.

“Idiot, you don’t even understand this.”

Qing Yi smiled coldly. “Ever since you found my master and asked him to help you, your plan has failed.”

When Xiahou Tang heard this, he still did not quite understand.

“Don’t you understand?”

Lan Yi said calmly, “Ever since you listened to Lord Chunyu’s plan and shipped your weapons to the capital, the Crown Prince’s plan has been exposed.”

“Putting aside the fact that Huang Yang Town is Fu Xianyun’s territory now, but even if they successfully transported the weapons out of Huang Yang Town, would they be able to transport them out of Lin Jiang Mansion?”

Chu Sihan was not someone to be trifled with.

“You… You’re plotting against us?”

Xiahou Tang finally understood.

It turned out that Chunyu Dong had never thought of collaborating with them!

“Do you think my master is interested in your official position in the mortal world?”

Qing Yi smiled disdainfully. “The reason why my master became the magistrate of Yang Cheng Mansion was because he wanted to have a proper status in the human world.”

“As to why he chose Yang Cheng Mansion, it’s because the person in this skin was about to die. Moreover, his name matches my master’s.”

After hearing Qing Yi’s explanation, Xiahou Tang immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was all his own cleverness that the Crown Prince collaborated with Chunyu Dong. He even promised Chunyu Dong that he would replace Fu Lei as the Prime Minister after everything was done.

He did not expect his intelligence to backfire!

He did not expect Chunyu Dong to be Lu Zhou’s Senior Brother.

He also did not expect Lu Zhou to have Chunyu Dong’s cousin by his side!

Chu Sihan was on the Eldest Prince’s side. Lu Zhou’s disciple was Chu Sihan’s fiancée. This also clearly showed that Lu Zhou was on the Eldest Prince’s side.

Lu Zhou was Chunyu Dong’s Junior Brother, and his friend was Chunyu Dong’s cousin. This indirectly meant that Chunyu Dong was also on the Eldest Prince’s side.

Ignoring Chunyu Dong, but the Crown Prince could not even defeat the two men beside Chunyu Dong with an army.

If that was the case, how would the Crown Prince ascend the throne?

If he gave the throne to the Eldest Prince, he might even be able to live.

Xiahou Tang was dumbfounded. He did not know what to say and could only sit on the ground in a daze.

“Lan Yi, I’ll leave it to you.”

Chunyu Dong said before leaving the cave.

Qing Yi did not follow them. Instead, he waited for Lan Yi.

“What… what do you want to do?”

When he saw the Kirin Sword in Lan Yi’s hand, he immediately crawled backwards in fear.

Lan Yi raised his hand and slashed down. Before Xiahou Tang could even scream, he had already died.

The soldiers who heard the commotion ran out. When they saw the scene in front of them, they did not know how to react.

“Lord… Lord Lan Yi, what happened to the Grand Tutor?”

The leader asked carefully.

Weren’t they together? Why did they kill each other?

The generals and soldiers were puzzled.

Lan Yi said lightly, “Bring the remaining weapons to Huang Yang Town and give them to Magistrate Fu.”

“What?!”

The general was puzzled. “If we do that, won’t our plan be exposed?”

Qing Yi looked at him and said, “Do as he says.”

“But…”

“No buts.”

Lan Yi kept his sword and looked up at the general. “Do what I tell you to.”

“Yes!”

Although the general did not understand, he was still very anxious when he saw Xiahou Tang’s fate.

He hurriedly instructed the other soldiers. “Everyone, listen up. Do as the two Lords say.”

“Yes!”

All the soldiers immediately returned to the cave. The general glanced at Qing Yi and Lan Yi before hurriedly returning to the cave to prepare.

Lan Yi waved and Xiahou Tang’s corpse instantly turned to dust and disappeared from the spot.

This scene happened to be seen by a general who turned back and his face paled in fear.

He swallowed his saliva and quickly turned his head away, pretending not to see anything.

“Lan Yi, why are you helping him?”

Qing Yi pouted and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Lan Yi said faintly, “He must have his own difficulties.”

“What difficulties?”

Qing Yi snorted coldly. “I heard that he was drinking at Green Peak back then. He had time to drink, but he didn’t care about your life or death. Why are you still helping him?”

“What if it were you?” Lan Yi suddenly asked.

“Huh?”

Qing Yi looked confused. “What about me?”

“If it were you, would you hate Lord Chunyu for the rest of your life if you encountered a lightning tribulation but he didn’t come to save you?”

“I…”

Qing Yi was stunned and fell into deep thought.

There was no reply for a long time.

Lan Yi smiled faintly. “See? You can’t even hate Lord Chunyu. Why would I hate him?”

Qing Yi scratched his head and asked in confusion, “In that case, why didn’t you return to his side back then?”

Lan Yi was silent for a moment before saying with a bitter smile, “It’s not that I hate him that I didn’t return, but because… I’m afraid that he won’t forgive me.”

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi fell silent.

He was blinded by greed back then and was tricked.

“It’s all my fault!”

Qing Yi blamed himself. “If I wasn’t careless and didn’t realize that that person wasn’t Master, I wouldn’t have fallen for his trick!”

Back then, in order to obtain the throne, Shangguan Lin killed the Demon King and the Demon Queen. Then, when Chunyu Dong was in seclusion, he used a treasure to conceal his demonic aura and transformed into his appearance.

At that time, Qing Yi did not think too much and only thought that Chunyu Dong had come out of seclusion early.

Hence, when he heard Shangguan Lin, who had transformed into Chunyu Dong, say that he wanted to kill Shangguan Dian to ascend the throne, he agreed without thinking.

He even asked Lan Yi for help and went to the Demon Realm with Shangguan Lin, turning the Demon Realm upside down.

Later, Lu Zhou and the other Peak Masters arrived in time. Not only did they destroy Shangguan Lin, but they also brought them back to the Immortal World to face the wall for months.

When Qing Yi was struck by lightning, Chunyu Dong happened to come out of seclusion and saved him.

On the other hand, Lu Zhou ignored Lan Yi and left him to endured everything alone. When he received news that he asked Chunyu Dong for help, Lan Yi was already on his last breath.
