Chapter 552 The Traitor is King Li

"Something happened."

The people in the yard looked at each other. Hua Yuanshu frowned and ran out with an anxious look on her face. Yun Jingzheng decisively followed her and protected her.

Yun Qimu also frowned solemnly, and ran out with his uncle Hua Mingfei, who had already carried Yun Xiaoyu.

"Help, help!"

Not long after they came out of the deep alley, they saw three burly men with ferocious looks and grim smiles chasing a little girl.

The little girl, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, was in a panic and embarrassment as she stumbled towards them, turning her head as she ran and shouting anxiously and fearfully.

"Xiaodie." Hua Yuanshu's face turned completely cold. He quickly ran over to support Xiaodie who was about to fall to the ground, then turned his head to look at the three people who were chasing Xiaodie, his eyes suddenly cold.

A golden halo spread out from her body, sweeping across the three big men.

The three big men screamed, and were cut in half like leeks. They flew backwards and then became completely silent.

"Hua, Hua Wang." Xiaodie's body was shaking, and her pale face, which was a mess of tears, was lifted up from Hua Yuanshu's arms. As if she had found a backbone, she excitedly grabbed her arm and shouted, "Hua Wang, hurry, help Wu Wang. The remnants of the army you brought back also mixed with people from the Han Dynasty. After being captured by Wu Wang, they joined forces with the traitors lurking in the town to kill us in the square. And Wang Li, be careful of Wang Li, the traitor is Wang Li, I heard it with my own ears."

Hua Yuanshu was stunned for a moment, then frowned. Speaking of Li Yu, although they were both listed as one of the three kings in the Witch King's army, she had not had much contact with Li Yu.

One of them was often away from home leading troops in battle, while the other liked to stay in her medicine shop and seldom went out. They only met when the Witch King summoned people for a meeting. Li Yu helped treat the injured twice.

Apart from this, Hua Yuanshu and Li Yu have no other interactions.

But after these few encounters, Hua Yuanshu felt that Li Yu was a good woman. Although she relied on her beauty to commit crimes, was charming and seductive, liked to joke with men, and acted boldly and aggressively, she had never really had any romantic disputes with anyone.

People in the army all smiled when they mentioned her, and seemed to have some respect for her.

She never thought that if there was a traitor in the army, that person would be Li Yu.

Unlike Hua Wang, who joined recently, Li Yu had been friends with Wu Yaxi long before the Wu King Army was officially formed. Later, when Wu Yaxi wanted to form an uprising army, she also made a lot of efforts. Not only did she help to recruit people, she also used the power of the Li family to provide medicinal materials for the Wu King Army.

In the past few years, most of the medicinal materials in the Witch King's army were provided by the Li family. Li Yu was also in charge of the army's medicine and had been an excellent logistician in the past few years. Therefore, she did not have any combat achievements but still sat firmly on the throne of King Li.

So why did Li Yu betray?

The Witch King's Army has been able to develop to this day with her help. What is she trying to achieve?

Although Hua Yuanshu was confused, he did not show it on his face. He patted Xiaodie's hand and said soothingly, "Don't worry."

As for whether he believed it or not, Hua Yuanshu kept his thoughts to himself and decided to wait until he met the person.

As for Li Yu, we still have to be on guard.

She left Xiaodie to the care of Yun Qimu behind her and continued running towards the square of Lanqu Town.

By the time we could see the square, the bloody melee had ended, and the two groups were now facing each other.

On one side was a large group of Wu King's army led by Wu Yaxi, and on the other side was Li Yu that Xiaodie mentioned.

Hua Yuanshu's eyes were filled with surprise. It really was her.

She took another look at Wu Yaxi, whose face looked grim and her emotions were complicated, and sighed. It seemed that she didn't need to report the news, as Wu Yaxi already knew.

Yun Qimu, Yun Jingzheng and Hua Mingfei, who were standing behind Hua Yuanshu, also had surprised expressions on their faces, because they were very familiar with the two faces next to Li Yu opposite.

Isn’t he the person who just fought at the gate of the royal capital yesterday, the God-favored Elder Nelson, an SSSS-level mist-type mutant.

Tracy, the God's Left Guardian, is an SSS-level ice-type mutant.

I was just beaten away by them yesterday, but I'm out causing trouble today. Haha, my body's recovery ability is amazing.

At this time, both parties in the confrontation had no time to pay attention to the two or three kittens hiding in the alley, who were looking at each other with serious and vigilant expressions.

Wu Yaxi frowned, staring at Li Yu across from her with an unpleasant expression, and asked through gritted teeth, "Why? Why you?"

Wu Yaxi had long known that there were traitors in King Wu's army. Especially after receiving news that King Qin's army had also been betrayed by an internal traitor, resulting in many casualties, she became even more suspicious that there were spies in her own army.

After talking with Kong Wen Yao today, he strengthened the inspection of the military and secretly arranged personnel to make the defense of the entire town more tight.

But she didn't expect that someone would kill Lin Hong's family right under her nose. Although she found some clues, Yun Qimu and others were captured by Fan Hao. Later, Hua Wang escaped seriously injured and on the verge of death. An elite army of 10,000 people became remnants, disrupting her plan to track down the murderer.

Later, the spies of the Han Dynasty were exposed, so they simply combined the undercover agents in the army and the Han King's army waiting outside to launch a brutal massacre against the Wu King's army. All this happened so quickly that even Wu Yaxi was caught off guard, and she had no time to think about who the traitor was.

But she didn't expect that the person was Li Yu, the woman who was like a true sister to her and helped the Witch King's army a lot.

Li Yu, with her alluring, charming face, sneered as she said, "Why? You still have the nerve to ask me why? I helped you recruit the men for this uprising army. I used the Li family pharmacy as a backing to help you recruit and support it, but why did you, Wu Yaxi, become the master of this army?"

With resentment in her eyes, she laughed sarcastically and said, "Everyone talks about the Witch King's Army, everyone calls you the Witch King, and everyone obeys your orders. I, Li Yu, am nothing now. I have become a powerless person, fit only to guard the pharmacy's logistics. Who still remembers that this Witch King's Army was founded by you and me? Who still remembers that I was the one who contributed the most? Now even Hua Yuanshu, a woman who has only been in the army for a few months, has a reputation that surpasses mine, and has more subordinates than me. If I don't resist, who will remember the existence of King Li?"

Wu Yaxi had a look of astonishment on her face. "Is this what you did?"

"What else?" Li Yu curled her red lips, her charming eyes now filled with resentment, anger, and complexity. Finally, she said, "Everyone has ambition, including me. Since you can't help me achieve the supreme position, then I have to take it myself."
