Chapter 464: Retribution
Xiangyi was stunned for a moment when she heard Lianyi's words, and then she reacted:
“It’s you!”
"It's me, how come you only recognized me now!"
Ripple said with a smile.
"What are you still doing? Kill her!"
Xiangyi yelled hysterically.
Then she rushed to a guard, drew his sword, and glared at Ripple with a cannibalistic look.
But no one around came forward, and some even took two steps back to make room around her.
Lianyi stretched out her hand and held Lei Yao in her hand, then lightly swung out a sword. The sword energy attack knocked Xiao Shu, who was standing next to Xiangyi, away, and the Xiao Shu hit the carriage and fell down, completely silent.
"You are so brave!!!"
Xiangyi sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and she backed away slowly, holding the knife in her hand and bluffing.
Mrs. Wu looked coldly at Xiangyi, whose expression changed drastically. At that time, her daughter might have been even more helpless than her!
Mrs. Wu clapped her hands, and servants carrying heavy mahogany boxes came into the yard one after another. Fifty wooden boxes were piled on the open space, which was a spectacular sight.
"Qi Qi, let them take inventory!"
Wang Yaohui said in a calm voice.
Qi Qi nodded, and then the chief guard who followed Xiang Yi led his men to count the fifty boxes of gold and silver, and then bowed to Wu to thank her:
"Thank you, old lady. Your Majesty will remember the Longxi Wang family's contribution to the country."
"As a member of the Han Kingdom, our Wang family should do our best."
After Wu finished speaking, she nodded to the guards beside her, and the two guards went straight to Xiangyi.
"Don't come over here!"
Xiangyi knew that she was sold out by the emperor, and was sold to the Wang family, whom she looked down upon. She waved the sword in her hand to prevent the guards of the Wang family from approaching. She knew clearly that she had become an abandoned pawn and no one would help her.
Lianyi raised her hand and flicked a stone, which just pierced her wrist holding the dagger. With a scream, she was controlled by two guards.
"I'm a princess! You can't do this to me!"
Unfortunately, her mouth was blocked the next moment, and two guards took her away like a chicken.
"Open the door! Show the guests out!"
At Wu's command, the door of the Wang family was reopened. After these people handed over to Qi Qi, they carried fifty wooden boxes full of gold and silver and walked out one after another, leaving the Wang family mansion.
Lian Yi walked up to the "Poison Doctor Master" Huo Mian, smiled and bowed, saying:
"Mr. Huo, please take a look at my grandfather's condition."
"Well, lead the way!"
Huo Mian had already received the news from Qi Qi, so he had an excuse to separate from the people brought by Xiang Yi. He followed Lian Yi to Wang Kun's residence in the backyard.
After Qi Qi sent the emperor's men away, he followed Lian Yi to Wang Kun's bedroom.
Xiangyi was just like when she came, without alarming anyone, and her disappearance did not alarm anyone either, but there was an aging crazy woman in the Wang family's dungeon.
Every day she clamored that she was a princess, a daughter of a royal family, and that she wanted to wipe out the entire Wang family, but the next moment she curled up on the ground in pain, losing the strength to shout. Her face was rotten again, and it was worse than before.
She smashed all the mirrors that Wu sent her. Xiangyi ended her life in pain and fear.
The fifty boxes of gold and silver sent by Wu affected the interests of other branches of the Wang family. They thought that Wu's behavior was inconsiderate and that the Wang family was not composed of only their family. However, after learning that it was the emperor who took the gold and silver, they all started to play cowards.
However, the elders of the Wang family took advantage of the fact that Wu had not discussed this with them in advance and completely divided Wang Yaohui's power and also split the Longxi Wang family's assets.
All of this was expected by Wu and Wang Yaohui. They gladly accepted it and took the initiative to leave the Wang family. They completely sold off their properties and left Longxi when the Han and Mongolian states were at war.
The huge Wang family mansion was completely deserted. Apart from the dead flowers and branches all over the ground, there was only Xiangyi's corpse in the dungeon.
After Huo Mian cured Wang Kun of the poison, he took Wu, Wang Yaozu and Wang Yaohui and left the Han Kingdom along the gold transportation line on the sea.
However, Lianyi, Wang Zhenzhen and Qi Qi stayed. If they all left, His Majesty the Emperor would inevitably have other ideas.
The message Qi Qi sent back at that time simply explained:
"Because Wu acted on her own, the Wang family suffered heavy losses. They were kicked out of the family and were suppressed everywhere. In addition, Xiangyi did die in their hands. Although Wu avenged her daughter, she was afraid that His Majesty would settle the score later, so she just hid away."
The emperor looked at the news in his hand, then at the gold, silver and jewelry that had been shipped, and expressed his satisfaction with the Wang family's progress.
"Your Majesty, do you need to recall Qi Qi?"
"No need for that. He is the grandson of the Wang family and has his own identity. Give him freedom!"
The emperor said indifferently.
"Let the Ministry of Revenue prepare food and fodder. In a month, I will lead the army in person!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Pass on my orders, and don't make any mistakes! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
The emperor said coldly.
This was a good opportunity to seize military power and also an opportunity for him to establish his prestige. Since ancient times, emperors have been both civil and military, and they either unified the territory or expanded the territory. He wanted to do the latter and incorporate the territory of Mongolia into the territory of Han, and he could only succeed and not fail.
When the emperor led the army in person, Lianyi fulfilled her promise and took Qi Qi with her to venture into the world. However, she followed the clues provided by Qi Qi and began to kill the Mongolian spies who had infiltrated the Han Dynasty.
In a secluded mountain village, she met Wang Meimei, and with her was She Lao.
"Lian Yi, please save me!"
At this time, Wang Meimei had lost her former cuteness and charm, and her eyes were full of vicissitudes. However, when she saw the ripples, her eyes sparkled.
"Were you sold to Snake Master by Xiao Shu?"
Ripple asked curiously.
"That despicable villain, I loved him so much, but he actually gave me to Snake Old Man for a fake treasure map. If I hadn't protected him, he would have died in Huangsha City long ago!"
Wang Meimei bit her lip and said hatefully.
"You can know a person's face but not his heart!"
Lianyi sighed, then looked at the alert Snake Master standing aside.
"how do you say?"
"She's already pregnant with my child. I can't let him go."
Old Snake's face was very gloomy and he said coldly.
A few "whoosh" sounds interrupted the words that Lianyi was about to say.
I saw seven colorful poisonous snakes nailed to the ground by silver needles. The person who did it was Qi Qi.
The next moment, Qi Qi attacked the old snake, and Lianyi walked out of the encirclement of the poisonous snakes and said to Wang Meimei:
"Snake is also my enemy. I will deal with him. The rest is up to you."
"I see!"
Wang Meimei gritted her teeth and agreed, hope appearing in her eyes again.
The Snake Old Man was hiding here because he was seriously injured. Apart from the poisonous snakes around him, he was no match for Qi Qi. Qi Qi had the anti-poison beads given by Huo Mian, so in less than an incense stick of time, the Snake Old Man was knocked to the ground.
Wang Meimei seized the opportunity, rushed forward, chopped off his head, and avenged herself for the humiliation she had suffered.
