Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Siege of Di Residence
It was not until then that he finally realized! Be it the beauty or promises, everything was just fleeting. He finally understood that as a crown prince, what he should really be doing!
But he understood too late, too late, too late…
At the mont, his loyal generals around him were either dead or crippled, and the few remaining were like the dog that has lost its ho, everyone acting cautiously with their tails between their legs.
The situation is lost, the situation is lost!
But he was unwilling to give up and refused to give in!
So, in the past half a year, he frequently extended his influence into the imperial court, wanting to regain everything he had lost bit by bit! However, he didn’t expect that Zhao Yuanlang was so capable and quickly found traces of his actions…
Thinking of this, Zhao Jiong’s hands clenched into fists, wishing he could imdiately turn Zhao Yuanlang into ashes and leave his bones without existence!
He slamd his hand heavily on the trunk of a large tree, leaving behind a deep palm imprint.
“Go! We will imdiately head for Gongzhou City, and establish ourselves as kings there! Let’s turn Gongzhou City into an ironclad fortress! I would like to see how Zhao Yuanlang plans to escape from my territory!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Everyone rejoiced imnsely, jumping and shouting excitedly! They had been waiting hard for decades, and finally, the day had co!
“Leave so people here, and the rest will co with . We will hurry back to Gongzhou City. As for the matters here, leave them all to Shopkeeper Gu!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The cheering shook the heavens!
With the army setting off, Zhao Jiong also tidied up a little and prepared to start.
At this mont, a person beside him reported: “Master, Elderly Mr. Di has been brought back!”
That’s right!
He had sent people to capture Elderly Mr. Di, but at this mont, he felt it was unimportant.

Right now, Liu Sisi was standing in the courtyard, coldly observing everything outside.
More accurately, she was observing the people who were surrounding Di Manor.
She had been having a al just now when Old Cheng had rushed in from outside, flustered.
“Madam, sothing terrible has happened! There are so many soldiers and horses outside, surrounding our Di Manor, not allowing anyone in or out! This is bad, really bad!”
“Don’t panic. The more anxious you beco, the more easily the enemy will exploit you. Hurry up and tell what’s going on?”
Facing Liu Sisi, who was as unmovable as a mountain, Old Cheng finally cald down a bit.
“Madam, these people don’t appear to be imperial soldiers. This old servant has observed their attire and they appear more like mbers of the Li Sect. Madam, what on earth has happened? They are mbers of the Li Sect… Why has the Li Sect suddenly changed its ways and started attacking Di Manor?”
Wasn’t the Li Sect supposed to be Madam’s protective umbrella?
“Are you saying Zhao Jiong is attacking Di Manor? How many horsen were involved?”
Liu Sisi was taken aback, with cold sweat on her body: “He is so ruthless, he would actually…”
This was sothing Liu Sisi had never expected. She knew that Zhao Jiong would not deal with her, but she forgot that not dealing with her did not an he wouldn’t deal with her family mbers!
“It seems to be not the Sect Master, but… it’s ng Caimai!”
“It’s ng Caimai? Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”
Liu Sisi stood up, obviously quite surprised.
“Madam, how could this old servant not recognize ng Caimai? He often cos and goes in our Di Manor!”
Old Cheng looked anxious: “Not only ng Caimai, but many of the servants who used to follow Madam are also surrounding Di Manor.”
Servants who followed her? Liu Sisi imdiately realized that Old Cheng must be referring to the people of the Li Sect, right?
After all, the people of the Li Sect had been helping her manage her business and implent the three things she was doing for the people. They put in a lot of effort!
“Did you see clearly? How many people are out there?”
“This old servant took a close look, but couldn’t see exactly how many people there were outside. All I know is that there are layers of people surrounding Di Manor, making it impossible for even a breeze to pass through.”
There were so many people!
Liu Sisi’s mind raced, as the people surrounding Di Manor were all mbers of the Li Sect. As one of the five leaders of the Li Sect, ng Caimai could only be dispatched by himself or his big brother—except for Zhao Jiong!
Yesterday, Ye Lei sent Father Emperor through the tunnel directly to the north mountain, and then an incident occurred on the north mountain side. When these two events were combined…
The more Liu Sisi thought about it, the more frightened she beca!
“Who is still in Di Manor right now? Hurry up and gather everyone, especially the children. Have them evacuate through the tunnel. Hurry! Or else, it might be too late for everyone to leave!”
Old Cheng naturally understood the key point: “Yes, Madam!”
Old Cheng took two steps and then turned back: “Last night, the three people from the main family were still in the Manor. Should we… ”
“No need to inform them for now, you go ahead!”
A fierce look flashed in Liu Sisi’s eyes! As for the main family mbers, they better have nothing to do with this matter; otherwise, they couldn’t bla her, Liu Sisi, for being ruthless!
Ms. Gao walked up quickly: “Madam, let this slave go with you.”
“What will you do? You heard what Old Cheng and I just said, didn’t you? You should hurry up and take the children through the tunnel to evacuate. Don’t delay any longer!” Liu Sisi urged.
“No, Madam. This slave has made up her mind. No matter what happens, I will stay with Madam!” Ms. Gao said with determination.
Liu Sisi shuddered, then slowly turned to look at Ms. Gao: “Ms. Gao, perhaps you didn’t understand what I just said…”
“Madam, this slave ca from the border as a refugee. I understand and know what Madam ans.”
Ms. Gao’s eyes were full of seriousness.
Knowing full well that staying with her ant a slim chance of survival, Ms. Gao still chose to stay with her. Liu Sisi felt warmth in her eyes, and then nodded firmly.
“Alright! Very well, let’s go and et ng Caimai to see what he has to say.”
–
Everyone hurriedly climbed up the hillside, and as expected, saw the Taoist temple that Di Yelei had ntioned.
The dilapidated Taoist temple swayed in the morning breeze, the plaque at the entrance shook perilously, as if a slightly stronger gust would blow it away.
Di Yelei carefully scanned the surroundings, not letting even a single blade of grass escape his gaze.
“There’s no mistake, it’s here. But I rarely hunted around here before, and only passed by this place twice. I just stayed here for one night and left the next day. Why don’t you all wait here while I go in and explore the way first.”
“Alright, you go and have a look. Rember to be mindful of your own safety.”
