After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

Chapter 150

Jiang Suizhou closely observed Pang Shao’s every move, but in just around eight days, Lou Wanjun had sneaked to his manor several times. She didn’t visit him for anything and just chatted with him out of boredom.

After several times, Jiang Suizhou finally couldn’t help but voice out his doubts.

It happened to be at night. He was sorting out the news under the lamp, while Lou Wanjun was sitting on a chair nearby, idly drinking tea and eating snacks.

“Who asked you to come these times?” Jiang Suizhou asked.

Lou Wanjun froze for a second and said with a smile, “I wanted to come myself. I have nothing to do at home, but you are having fun here.””

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help but laugh.

“What am I doing here?” he retorted, “Tell me, is it Huo Wujiu?”

Lou Wanjun kept her mouth shut, thought for a while, and then admitted it.

“How did you know?” she asked.

Jiang Suizhou smiled: “It was just a hunch. I didn’t expect to guess correctly—— What did he ask you to do?”

Lou Wanjun leaned back in her chair.

“He’s worried about you.” She said, “I do not know what is there for Madam to worry about, but he warned my father harshly. My father also dares not disobey, so he could only send me, the idle one, here day by day to see what danger in your residence there can be, so as to protect you ah.”

All Jiang Suizhou thought was that this method was stupid.

After a while, he smiled helplessly.

“It’s really…”

Lou Wanjun’s eyes brightly looked at him.

“Did you notice something too?” she asked.

Jiang Suizhou was stunned: “What?”

Lou Wanjun said, “Huo Wujiu!”

Jiang Suizhou was puzzled: “What’s wrong with Huo Wujiu?”

Lou Wanjun sighed. After staring at him for a while, she mumbled to herself, “That can’t be. You’re a cut sleeve, so how come you can’t even see this?”

Jiang Suizhou’s heart skipped a beat: “What do you mean?”

His gaze faintly contained a shadow of disbelief and expectation.

Lou Wanjun captured it almost instantly.

She gave him a heated smile.

“It’s nothing.” She said, “Wait for him to come back and let him tell you himself.”

Meanwhile, dark shadows were distinctly reflected on the surface of the Chang River.

From the north to the south of the river, several ships, like giant beasts in the night, slowly crossed the wide river. No lights could be seen on the ships, and it was only when you got close could you make out the huge dark shadows.

Ship after ship docked.

Countless soldiers, wearing thick black armors that only occasionally glowed with a star of cold light in the night, noiselessly disembarked from the ship. Gradually, thousands upon thousands of soldiers gathered on the bank of the river.

The horde was such yet they weren’t noticed in the slightest.

The General leading the army naturally knew what was going on.

Li Sheng sat on his war horse and quietly looked south.

He knew from the letter that Wei Kai sent him long ago. He said that Lou Yue bribed the guards here, and none of them would appear in the area today. Hence, the soldiers under his command were now in full control of this river bank.

In addition, there was also a person he had been ordered to kill.

The more than 10,000 soldiers behind him were nothing more than just bait to lure that Lord into his urn. Naturally, these soldiers didn’t know anything, and they all came to avenge General Huo.

Only he and the dozens of elites who have long been lurking around knew that tonight, he came to kill General Huo and eliminate future troubles for His Highness.

He waited in silence.

Just then, a voice came from a forest in the distance.

“Li Sheng?”

It came from far away, and it was Huo Wujiu’s voice.

In a shot, the densely packed officers and soldiers behind him perked up, spilling muffled noises. Li Sheng coldly glanced back, and saw dozens of soldiers around him, all poised and waiting there.

He smiled coldly.

No matter how prestigious Huo Wujiu was, he would be trampled into bloody mud by the horses’ hooves today. The soldiers behind him also would never dare to speak out. After all, the Crown Prince was his backer.

Li Sheng withdrew his gaze and raised his voice: “General, it is the last General!”

As he spoke, he stealthily waved his hand, signaling the soldiers around him to prepare.

When his words fell, a subtle noise from the forest resounded before long.

A tall man galloped out of the forest on his horse at full speed toward Li Sheng.

Li Sheng raised his hand.

The next moment, dozens of arrows, like falcons, broke through the air, suddenly tearing the silence of the night, and swooped down on that silhouette.

The man on the horse could not dodge at all. Several arrows hit him out of the blue, and he fell heavily to the ground with the war horse whining.

Li Sheng’s eyes lit up.

It’s done.

The officers and soldiers in formation were dumbfounded and froze in place. The dozens of soldiers around Li Sheng, on the other hand, tightly protected him in the middle.

Li Sheng raised the scroll in his hand.

“By the imperial decree, this General has come to kill the rebels!” He declared, “Huo Wujiu, the traitor General, has already taken refuge in Southern Jing! If he isn’t killed, he will become the seed of future danger!”

The scroll glowed with a faint golden light under the night.

The surrounding soldiers were struck by lightning. No one knew what the change of events tonight was all about, but the imperial decree was in Li Sheng’s hand. They might be ignorant of the truth, but they did not believe that Li Sheng would dare to fake the imperial decree and kill Huo Wujiu in such a grand manner.

For a spell, the soldiers in the formation remained motionless. Only that one man and his horse crashed on the open wasteland in vain.

When Li Sheng saw this, he put away the scroll with satisfaction. He rode his horse under the escort of the elites around him and headed for the corpse.

As long as Huo Wujiu was confirmed to be dead, his mission would be complete.

After tonight, His Highness the Crown Prince would no longer have to toss and turn and lose his appetite because Huo Wujiu was still alive, let alone be coerced by Pang Shao because he was in his hands.

Everything would be settled.

He couldn’t help but show the pleasure of a great event coming to fruition on his face, that is, until he got closer and had the torch lit by the soldier next to him to see Huo Wujiu’s dead face.

The torch illuminated the corpse.

On the ground, however, was only a dead horse.

And on top of the horse’s back was actually a straw man.

The next moment, a sharp arrow whizzed through the air and nailed into Li Sheng’s throat. The accuracy of the arrow head was so steady and powerful that it penetrated his neck bone.

At once, blood splashed everywhere. His eyes widened, and he didn’t even have the time to erase the smile in the corners of his mouth.

Between a silvery light that appeared suddenly, he saw Huo Wujiu riding on his horse at the edge of the woods with a cold expression.

And his hand that drew the bow was still in place.
