Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Jinjiang First Release

Chapter 44

Two days later, Cui Weng granted Su Li permission to return to Lanhe County to take care of her pregnancy. Cui Weng also personally sent a message to the second wife's mother-in-law, instructing her to take good care of the fetus in Su Li's belly.

Before leaving, Su Li had not forgotten acting.

She made all kinds of excuses, leaving this or that behind, and ran back to Mudong Pavilion again and again, but she just refused to get on the carriage.

Su Li was reluctant to leave, as if she was still nostalgic for the huge ancestral home of the Cui family in Wudong.

Huirong was extremely annoyed. She had to suppress the news and prevent Su Li from causing trouble at the same time.

Seeing that she was quite cunning, Huirong did not dare to take it lightly. When Su Li asked to see Cui Shunying for the last time, Huirong finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped her.

"Madam Su, please get in the carriage. I have a servant to take your leave from the Fourth Madam. If there is anything left at Mudong Pavilion, I will pack it up and send it to Lanhe County."

In order to persuade Su Li to leave with peace of mind, Hui Rong was even willing to help her clean up the mess.

Su Li had no reason to stay, so she could only pretend to be reluctant and got into the carriage.

The carriage started off, Qiu Gui and Su Li stayed in the carriage obediently, not daring to breathe.

Along the way, Su Li kept the curtains of the car tightly closed, leaving no gaps, for fear that her face would be exposed and seen by acquaintances, which would cause complications in her escape.

Fortunately, the maid sent by the Cui family cleared the way. The soldiers guarding the city were so frightened just by seeing the flag with the "Cui" family emblem that they trembled with fear. They didn't dare to step forward to ask for the master's permission to leave the city and his personal certificate.

Su Li left Jianye County smoothly.

At night, several people stayed at the inn.

Su Li stayed in a superior guest room. She opened the window, used scented powder and a whistle to lure in the carrier pigeon she had trained, then tied three straws to the bird's legs and let it fly away.

This was the signal agreed upon by Su Li and her grandmother. Once she saw the birds flying over, her grandmother would contact Lin Yin, and then Wang Po would provide cover and help her escape.

Then, the grandfather and grandson were able to reunite in a small fishing village outside Jianye County.

Su Li withdrew her hand. She looked at the birds flying freely, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Soon, she will be able to fly wherever she wants to go, just like the bird.

Su Li knew that with Cui Weng's message, her mother-in-law Zhou in Lanhe County and her second wife's mother-in-law would receive the news of her pregnancy. Then, another group of soldiers and strong servants would surely arrive to rescue her... Su Li's good days were numbered. She had to escape as soon as possible before her defenses became even tighter.

At night, Su Li lied about having a stomachache and wanted to rest for one night in a small town outside Jianye County.

The old women were unaware of the situation and could only follow Su Li's instructions, rest on the spot, and then prepare a few doses of pregnancy-maintaining medicine for Su Li to drink.

Although Su Li was not pregnant, these medicinal foods were only for replenishing qi and blood, and would not do much harm to her body even if she drank them.

Su Li drank it all in one gulp, then took out a few boxes of cakes from the box and distributed them to the maids who were serving her.

The cakes were drugged, enough to make the maids sleep soundly until dawn.

"Thank you all for taking care of me. These are the candied fruits from Cuizhufang. I brought them specially from the Cui family. You can try them."

Cuizhufang is a famous pastry shop in Jianye. The price of a piece of honeyed fruit is comparable to that of gold. It is said that the master who pickles the fruit is an imperial chef from the palace. Usually, he only accepts dessert orders from high-ranking families, and common people rarely can buy it.

The maids were all connoisseurs of the goods. They looked at each other and took it with a smile.

The old women knew that Su Li was trying to please them and wanted to bribe them with food.

It made sense. They were servants of the main branch of the Wudong Cui family. How could they not be looked up to? Even being treated warmly by the masters of the various branches was normal.

Several people accepted the box of snacks and started to share the snacks as soon as they walked out of Su Li's room.

Late at night, Su Li packed her bags and put on a peasant woman's dress that had been starched and washed many times.

She took off all the hairpins and pearl flowers on her head and hid them in her bag, thinking of selling them later or melting them into gold and silver coins to spend slowly.

Su Li and Qiu Gui exchanged a glance. The latter understood and deliberately cleared her throat, shouting, "My wife needs to be wiped, bring in some warm water!"

Those old women usually have the sharpest ears than anyone else, but today they were lifeless and not a single word was said.

Su Li knew that the drug in the snack had taken effect... The maids were fast asleep, and she had to take this opportunity to escape.

Su Li only has one night to leave this place and reunite with her grandmother and others in the fishing village.

Tomorrow, when the maids discover that she is missing, they will definitely return to Jianye County to inform Mr. Cui and send troops to search for her.

When the mother-in-law and Zhou learned the news a few days later, they would come to Jianye County to look for Su Li.

In just three to five days, Su Li had to be extra careful to cover up and leave this place of trouble.

Fortunately, Lin Yin helped arrange the carriage and horses. Fortunately, she prepared a fake body sticker and an ointment that could make the sores on the face look better...

Su Li felt a little relieved. She and Qiu Gui carefully pushed open the door, walked around the old women who were dozing against the wall, and quietly sneaked out of the post station.

On this journey back to Lanhe County, Su Li specially brought along the little white horse that she often rode.

Su Li blew a whistle neatly.

When the horse heard the call from its master's house, it came running over happily.

Su Li pulled Qiu Gui onto the horse and told her to hold on tight: "Qiu Gui, let's go!"

In order to escape, Su Li took advantage of the hunting feast to learn horse riding for a period of time. Now she is an experienced rider, and she can easily run 30 or 40 miles at a time at night.

Qiu Gui had never ridden a horse before, and she was so scared to sit so high up that her calves were trembling. She couldn't help but hug Su Li's narrow waist and snuggle up to her wife.

Qiu Gui: "My dear, please be careful. I often hear people break their necks after falling off their horses..."

"Don't worry, your wife is very good and is now a master of equestrianism!" Su Li couldn't wait to show off her skills. She held the reins and tapped the horse's belly with her heels, urging the little white horse to run.

On a moonlit night as cool as water, the white horse quickly spread out its hooves, carrying two graceful girls, and galloped along the official road away from Jianye Prefecture.

The full moon was bright, and the moonlight scattered on Su Li's black hair. The cold wind blew the girl's skirt into pieces, and the stars hanging in the fields dotted her smiling almond eyes.

Su Li rode his horse, his robe fluttering, looking heroic.

Su Li had always been disciplined by the upper class to be well-mannered and reserved. She had never acted so out of line before. But it seemed that the wild and unruly girl tonight was the real Su Li.

Even though the girl was wearing a straw hat and a cloth skirt, it was difficult to conceal her innate agility and beauty.

Qiu Gui was mesmerized and couldn't help but sigh: "My wife, you are so amazing!"

Su Li couldn't help laughing: "I know a lot more things, I'll show them to you slowly when I have the chance!"

"Okay." Qiu Gui listened to Su Li's light laughter and she laughed too.

But for some reason, after laughing for a while, Qiu Gui's eyes felt a little hot again.

Her nose felt sore and she felt sad for Su Li.

It turns out that Su Li would be so happy as long as she left the wealthy family and rode horses in the wilderness.

It turned out that what she wanted was not much at all.

-

The thirty-second year of Xuanning, late summer.

June 20th was the day when Princess Chonghua Li Muyao married into the Wudong Cui family.

However, before the grand wedding ceremony was over, the Cui family discovered Li Muyao's sinister intention to poison her husband on the wedding day.

Instigated by the royal family, Li Muyao was so bold as to put poisonous drugs that could cause intestinal decay and rot stomachs into the wedding wine. He only needed to wait for Cui Jue to drink at night so that he could assassinate this esteemed elder of the aristocratic family behind the bed curtains.

Fortunately, Cui Jue has always been vigilant. He sensed that the taste of the wine was not right before drinking it, so he did not drink it in time. Instead, he gave the wine to the maid who came with Li Muyao's dowry.

Seeing the maid bleeding from all seven orifices and dying, Cui Jue understood the Li family's vicious intentions.

Emperor Xuanning was clearly dissatisfied with the power held by the aristocratic families. He was wary of Cui Jue's achievements surpassing his own, and was wary of him being boastful. He hated his arbitrary rule of the government and wanted to sacrifice a legitimate princess of the royal family and kill Cui Jue in the bridal chamber.

Cui Jue was nearly killed and became furious.

Since the royal family has the intention to harm the gentry, Cui Jue will not sit idly by and wait for death.

In this regard, Cui Jue ordered his private soldiers to detain Li Muyao in a private prison, and then led tens of thousands of Cui family soldiers to the city and attacked the capital of Jianye directly, seeking justice from the Li emperor who had ulterior motives.

With the war imminent, the capital was in chaos.

The prominent families who were inexplicably affected by the war were all terrified. They summoned soldiers to guard their homes to prevent their children from being trampled into pieces by the intruding Cui family cavalry.

The battle for Jianye was about to begin, and the whole city was filled with the sounds of pre-war drums and loud trumpets to boost military morale.

The nobles trapped in the capital were all terrified when they heard the pre-war military intelligence.

Unwilling to sit idly by, they each sent trusted aides to the Cui family to gauge military intelligence. Some secretly sent letters to the palace to gauge the emperor's attitude. Some even contacted local branch clansmen, intending to flee Jianye overnight to protect their legitimate children from the relentless bombardment.

However, after two months of marching, Cui Jue's 100,000-strong army had already arrived in Jianye and surrounded the capital. Not even an ant could escape from Jianye, let alone the wealthy and powerful families who took advantage of the chaos to protect themselves.

Some of the noble families came to their senses and realized that Cui Jue was taking advantage of this life-and-death situation to force them to take sides as soon as possible.

If he had known the current situation and served Cui Jue, the new emperor would not have killed the surrendered ministers, and he would have had a chance of survival.

If they were tamed by the Li Dynasty and became loyal dogs of the imperial power, Cui Jue would definitely slaughter their direct relatives, which would serve as a deterrent to others and also allow the blood of these nobles to be sacrificed to boost the morale of the army.

Who could have expected that Cui Jue, who usually kept quiet and was willing to be a running dog of the Li family, would suddenly launch an attack today without declaring war?

They don’t have much time left... They must make plans early to avoid being retaliated against by Cui Jue later!

Those wise and decisive elders of the aristocratic families immediately decided to follow Cui Jue and sent their own troops to Cui Jue to be dispatched by him in order to ensure the survival of their families.

In this way, Cui Jue not only had more troops to support him, but also controlled the direction of the court. No one dared to call him a traitor or become his enemy.

The elders all sighed: Cui Jue is so insidious and cruel, and his intelligence is so great that he is almost a demon.

Inside the city, Cui's private soldiers were guarding the ancestral home to protect Mr. Cui's safety; outside the city, thousands of armed and armored archers were besieging the capital, waiting for Cui Jue to give the order to attack the city.

In the old house, Li Muyao had messy hair and looked like a madman.

She was held by her arms by two maids on her left and right, unable to move. She could only watch as groups of black-armored soldiers with swords in hand and horses rushed out of the Cui family's ancestral home.

When the Cui family's soldiers and horses surged like a torrent and surrounded the huge Cui family's ancestral home, Li Muyao finally understood the truth of the incident.

Li Muyao's wedding dress was stained with the blood of her trusted maid and wet nurse. She felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Looking at Cui Jue in the distance, who was wearing a black robe with narrow sleeves, she felt both fear and hatred in her heart. Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she was crying blood.

"Cui Jue! You schemed against my Li family! You framed me for poisoning. You clearly have treasonous intentions and want to use me to start a rebellion!" Li Muyao gritted her teeth, her whole body shivering. "I thought you had good intentions towards me... but I didn't expect you to be such a devil! Cui Jue, you shall not die well!"

Cui Jue didn't move forward. He glanced at Li Muyao indifferently, feeling she was just being noisy. "It was your brother and father who wanted to abandon you as a pawn, so why are you blaming me? As for my affection for you... I don't know when I ever had such a knowing and thoughtful private conversation with Your Highness that gave you such a big misconception."

Hearing this, Li Muyao stood there in a daze. She tried hard to recall the past, her heart filled with sorrow, and she collapsed to her knees.

Yes, just as Cui Jue said, he just didn't reject her advances, but he never showed any interest in her directly... He was so indifferent to everyone, and he had no interest in her from the beginning to the end.

It was just that Cui Jue treated outsiders even more coldly and deliberately kept his distance, which gave Li Muyao the illusion that he treated her differently...

Cui Jue had no intention of saying more to Li Muyao. He just wanted a reason to go on a mission. The current situation was enough.

Cui Jue no longer paid any attention to Li Muyao. The man jumped on his horse, pulled the reins and rushed out of the old house.

The wind howled violently, and the earth shook with the sound of the soldiers and horses running.

Countless flags engraved with the word "Cui" fluttered behind Cui Jue. Cui Jue's blood was boiling, and with the arrogance and bravery of being in control of the overall situation, he took the lead and rushed towards the towering imperial city.

When the time came, Cui Jue drew his bow and arrow, his arms knotted and veins bulged, he gathered his strength and shot an arrow into the sky.

The whistling arrows pierced the clouds and split the rocks, creating brilliant sparks when rubbing against the biting wind, and also quickly conveyed the astonishing whistle to the commander-in-chief Chen Heng who was leading the troops outside the city.

The sound of arrows coming.

Upon hearing Cui Jue's order, Chen Heng pointed his sword toward the sky, his face solemn, and shouted, "Brothers, follow me to attack the city! Kill!"

"kill--!"

"kill--!"

In the face of Cui Jue's army of more than 100,000, the defense of Jianye City was undoubtedly weak and incompetent and could not withstand a single blow.

Chen Heng used siege equipment such as locust arrow formations and giant battering rams, and with the help of soldiers from the city's noble families, the gates of Jianye's capital were soon broken open by Cui's army. Under the trampling of strong horses, everything was crushed into insignificant powder.

Teams of Cui family soldiers, wearing armor and holding weapons, rushed into the city from outside, like countless powerful black-armored dragons, sweeping in from all directions and charging into Jianye with great momentum.

In the city, flames were blazing and arrows were raining down.

Sharp arrows fell, piercing people's eyes, shoulders, necks, and chests. There were countless sounds of people falling off their horses, and corpses fell one after another. Not even a wail of death was uttered, only the dull sound of flesh hitting the ground.

The soldiers charged forward, brandishing their swords, and clashed with the stubbornly resisting Li's army, engaging in a fierce battle.

Everywhere was filled with the neighing of war horses, the roar of artillery fire, and the sharp clang of close combat.

“Crash!”

The soldier's head was chopped off his horse by a sharp sword, blood spurted onto his face, and his dark armor was splashed with blood, which dripped onto the muddy ground.

The horses' hooves trampled over the pools of blood. The brave and warlike soldiers looked at the city wall in the distance that had turned into a sea of ​​red fire. With a fierce fighting spirit in their hearts, they swung their swords again and followed the leader Chen Heng to charge towards the fearless enemy army.

Jianye became a hell on earth with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with cries and screams everywhere. The Cui family's soldiers were well-trained, and even when they were in a battle situation, they could quickly form a killing formation and encircle and suppress the enemy.

Faced with a situation where the enemy outnumbered them, the Li family was quickly defeated.

Everyone knew that Cui Jue had the upper hand in this battle. No matter how hard the Li family army fought, they were just fighting alone.

The Li family will definitely lose this battle!

They have no chance of winning!

In the city, Cui Jue led his private soldiers and marched straight into the towering imperial city.

Cui Jue led his troops to break through the enemy's defenses, leading the way and slaughtering their way into the imperial city.

The man's entire body was drenched in smelly blood. From under his dark robe, just by twisting his fingers together, blood could be squeezed out.

But he remained indifferent, still holding the sword and moving forward with a firm gaze.

Cui Jue's fearless and bloody fighting spirit inspired the soldiers who followed him. Following such a brave and steadfast man to capture cities and territories and achieve an empire that will last for thousands of years is truly exciting and awe-inspiring.

However, Cui Jue is not afraid of death, he is simply indifferent to life and death. In order to achieve his goals, he does not care too much about the lives of others.

The plans he set must succeed, the lines he laid must be collected, the situations he controlled must be broken... He holds everything in the world in his palms and will never let anything escape his control.

Cui Jue's eyes were sinister, and the thin blade in his hand was unsheathed.

When they arrived at the Golden Throne Hall, the man jumped off Chixia's saddle and landed lightly on the jade steps.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a black robe that fluttered in the wind, and walked slowly from outside the hall.

The strong smell of blood spread from the sleeves, making people nauseous, and it also frightened a group of loyal Li family ministers in the hall and made them tremble endlessly.

"You are such a wicked boy, how dare you blaspheme the Heavenly Family! Now that you have entered the Golden Palace to see the Emperor, why don't you kneel?!"

Hearing this, Cui Jue chuckled, with a cold look in his eyes.

He shook off the warm blood on his sword and muttered, "That's quite noisy."

After saying this, Cui Jue waved his sleeves lightly.

After a while, Wei Zhiyan drew his bow and shot an arrow, aiming it directly at the old minister's eyebrows.

The old minister's arrogance disappeared completely. His lips trembled for a moment, and finally he stopped talking. He looked helplessly at Emperor Xuanning on the throne.

He seemed to think that as long as he kept his mouth shut he could save his life, so he didn't dare to say another word and sat back down at the table obediently.

However, Cui Jue was not a man of good nature.

He glanced at the shouting minister calmly, then moved his thin lips slightly and uttered a word: "Kill."

whoosh!

Wei Zhiyan shot the arrow without hesitation.

An arrow pierced the head and killed the loyal minister who betrayed his master at the banquet.

Red and white brain matter exploded all over the ground, blood gushed out, and heart-wrenching screams rang out in the hall.

Cui Jue glanced over and shocked the ministers.

The oppression in the man's eyes was too strong to ignore. He asked coldly, "Who else?"

Cui Jue raised his lips and asked, as if the person he had just shot with an arrow was not a former colleague, but just a wild deer in the mountains.

The hall suddenly fell silent and the atmosphere was heavy.

No one dared to oppose Cui Jue anymore. They all patted their chests and kept silent, as frightened as a cicada.

Emperor Xuanning, who was sitting on the high platform, looked extremely pale and slumped. He seemed to have aged ten years. He sighed and said, "How long have you been planning this?"

Cui Jue had already stepped into the palace with a sword in hand, and was approaching the position of Emperor Xuanning step by step.

Cui Jue said slowly, "The nineteenth year of Xuanning."

When Emperor Xuanning heard Cui Jue's words, he was confused for a moment, but soon he remembered what happened in the 19th year of Xuanning.

Cui Jue was only twelve years old at the time, still an incompetent child, but his father died on the battlefield that year, and the following year Cui's mother also died of grief...

Emperor Xuanning's face turned pale. He understood why Cui Jue was so murderous.

Cui Jue found out the whole story. He knew that his father died at the hands of the Li family. He endured hardships for thirteen years just to avenge his father!

Emperor Xuanning was speechless.

The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. He is already too old to change the situation.

When Cui Jue put the long blade in his hand against his neck, Emperor Xuanning laughed and said to him, "Your father is indeed better at raising a son than I am..."

Emperor Xuanning and the eldest son of the Cui family were close friends, but he feared the power of the Wudong Cui family. He feared the future of the dynasty would change hands, so he disregarded their friendship and set up a deadly trap, leaving the eldest son of the Cui family to die on the distant border...

Emperor Xuanning originally thought that Cui Jue was just a child who had just grown up and would not amount to anything. As long as he used both kindness and force and married his daughter to the Cui family, he would be able to swallow up this piece of fat meat of the aristocratic family that had been prosperous for thousands of years.

It’s a pity, it’s a pity that Cui Jue is precocious and he is not under the control of Emperor Xuanning.

He bided his time and energy for many years, waiting for the day when he would become powerful enough to slaughter the entire Li family with swords.

This guy... is so cruel.

Emperor Xuanning was defeated.

"Let's do it." Emperor Xuan Ning sighed.

Cui Jue noticed the melancholy in his brow and couldn't help but smile. "You thought... if you sacrificed your life for your country, I would be so careless as to forget about hunting down Li Fuyun, letting him escape from Jianye and sparing his life? Don't forget how ruthless I am. Since you have such a deep father-son relationship, I will certainly grant your wish."

"You, you..." Emperor Xuan Ning didn't expect that his trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was actually seen through by Cui Jue early on.

This guy clearly let Crown Prince Li Fuyun escape from the imperial city on purpose. He deliberately acted like a cat teasing a mouse, giving Emperor Xuanning hope and then crushing it!

Perhaps it was Emperor Xuanning's terrified expression that pleased Cui Jue. The stern man twitched his lips, a rare hint of a smile. "Don't worry, I'm not such a heartless person. When I capture Li Fuyun and bring him back to the court, I'll torture him to pieces and bury him with you. This will be a way of repaying your kindness in leaving my father's body intact."

Emperor Xuanning was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was filled with hatred and said, "Cui Jue! You are truly vicious!"

But the next moment, Cui Jue exerted force with his wrist bones and the blade attacked.

Before Emperor Xuan Ning could finish his curse, his shoulders and neck were already empty, and a head with angry eyes broke free from the body, drew a bloody arc in the air, and rolled to the center of the hall.

The atmosphere at the banquet was eerie and solemn. All the ministers held their breath and waited, and no one dared to speak.

At the moment when Emperor Xuanning's head fell to the ground, the Li Dynasty was doomed and the country was destroyed. From then on, the person in charge of the Wu Kingdom was Cui Jue, who stood with a sword.

It was the already prominent and noble Wudong Cui family...

The old ministers were terrified and looked at each other, feeling disheartened.

Soon, they crawled out from behind the table, knelt before Cui Jue, called him "Lord", and prayed that the Lord would ascend the throne and protect the Wu Kingdom for thousands of years.

Cui Jue did not look happy when he heard everyone's compliments, and he still had that cold expression.

He shook off the glaring blood on the sword and walked out of the Golden Palace without saying a word.

"Go after Li Fuyun. If you capture him, kill him as a sacrifice. If he escapes Jianye... then spare his life and we'll discuss this another day."

Cui Jue knew very well that from the moment the Cui family took control of the government, local warlords would be ready to make moves. Under the pretext of "clearing the court", they would gather troops and wait for an opportunity to attack the capital.

He wanted to rest his army for later. Since he had already attacked the city, he would not give anyone the opportunity to capture it.

However, the current situation is chaotic, and Cui Jue needs to preserve his strength. In this case... it might be wise to stay in Jianye and retreat to Lanhe County, Liangzhou, and other places, dividing the river and governing, and accumulating combat power.

Cui Jue understood.

He handed over all post-war matters to Chen Heng, and went back to the city to take care of family affairs, and informed Cui Weng of the war situation.

Cui Jue returned to the city victoriously. As soon as he entered the Cui family's old house, he suddenly remembered the cowardly Su Li.

This battle was so massive that Su Li must have been terrified and was probably still hiding in the Mudong Pavilion crying.

Cui Jue's gloomy expression gradually relaxed. He took off his bloodstained armor and called Hui Rong, "Summon Su Li to serve in Shuyue Pavilion."

After this battle, Huirong was really frightened by this ruthless elder. After watching this fierce battle, she restrained all her frivolous thoughts and did not dare to take advantage of her care for the young master when she was young to show off in front of the elder.

When Huirong heard that Cui Jue had not returned home for many days and immediately asked about Su Li's whereabouts after returning, her scalp suddenly went numb and blood rushed backwards.

Huirong knelt on the ground in fear, trembling, and said, "Madam Su is pregnant and has been sent back to Lanhe County by the old patriarch to protect the fetus. However, the journey is long, and Madam Su seems to have escaped along the way and is nowhere to be found... The old patriarch has already sent troops to search for her."

Cui Jue said solemnly, "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

Huirong trembled in fear and replied, "The old master suppressed the news for the time being, simply because he didn't want you to worry about such a trivial matter..."

Cui Jue had been staying out all night for more than ten days, mobilizing troops and making arrangements for the battle. He had never imagined that such a fire would break out in his house in just ten days.

Seeing Cui Jue's gloomy face, Huirong said fearfully, "Madam Su is pregnant with the eldest son of the Cui family's eldest wife, a concubine. She should be raised well. I will send out as many servants as possible to bring Madam Su back to her family as soon as possible."

When Cui Jue heard the words that Su Li was pregnant, he couldn't help but sneer silently, his eyes as cold as frost and snow on the top of a mountain.

"What a wonderful pregnancy! It's really a blessing..."

He had already taken contraceptive medicine, so how could Su Li be so lucky as to have such a child from the Cui family?!

Cui Jue's eyes were cold as he once again picked up the cold sword that had killed countless enemies. He looked at it carefully with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Wei Zhiyan, pass on my military orders. War is imminent. We must prevent the remnants of the Li family from attacking the Cui family's branches and endangering our family from both sides."

"Immediately dispatch 10,000 troops to join me in besieging Lanhe County!"

Cui Jue knew that Su Li's biological family was in Lanhe County.

Even if she ran away from Jianye, could she really abandon her parents and run away with her son?!

Cui Jue will catch her.

"Su Li, since you have developed a different heart, I hope that when I catch you, you will not regret it..." Cui Jue's voice was low and his tone was dangerous.

This woman is cunning and treacherous. If Cui Jue finds Su Li, he will kill her.

He would no longer show mercy to her.
