Chapter 1357: Chapter 1356: Untitled
The next day, Protector Li brought a few experts and slipped into Ancient Celestial Dragon’s home. The Li Family’s guards were tight at this time, but the ones who came along were all professionally trained assassins, so their Lightweight Skill was superb. In no time the four of them reached Ancient Celestial Dragon’s bedchamber door.
Ancient Celestial Dragon was just about to change and go to bed when his sharp intuition suddenly told him someone was outside. He immediately pulled a treasured sword out from the foot of the bed and grew vigilant.
Seeing this, Protector Li felt things were a bit off, but tonight’s mission had to be completed no matter what, so he waved his hand and the four attacked together.
The Ancient National Defense General saw four men closing in from all sides, drew his sword and hacked away. A four‑against‑one fight broke out instantly in the room. Protector Li thought to himself, "No matter what, we must take down Ancient Celestial Dragon, otherwise everything will be ruined."
Thinking this, Protector Li slipped to the side, took out a dart loaded with anesthetic from his pocket, and while they were fighting, suddenly fired a Hidden Weapon.
Ancient Celestial Dragon’s reactions were quick; he leapt aside and dodged.
At this moment, Protector Li let out a cold snort, then pulled out another anesthetic dart with his other hand and threw it out at lightning speed.
Ancient Celestial Dragon had just landed and didn’t expect another flying dart to come whistling in. He knew he’d fallen into a trap, but the next instant he only felt a wave of numbness, and then blacked out...
At the same time, another group had already reached the leaders’ villa district. The villa district was quiet tonight. Because Xu Fei had long arranged for some ministers to help, the guards at the leaders’ villas were relatively few.
People had already been arranged in Lianyi’s room waiting. As soon as Lianyi entered, two men in black appeared before her. Before she could cry for help, her vision went black and she lost consciousness.
After Ancient Celestial Dragon, the National Defense Army General, fainted, Protector Li and the others quickly sent him to Lianyi’s room in the leaders’ villa district.
Lianyi had already been force‑fed an aphrodisiac. When she woke up, her whole body burned with unbearable heat.
Suddenly she noticed a strong man sleeping beside her. Under the drug’s spell, her mind hazy and blurred, she couldn’t help but undo Ancient Celestial Dragon’s clothing and start groping...
After arranging everything, Protector Li secretly left a note on the Sovereign’s desk, then departed in satisfaction.
The next morning, Ancient Celestial Dragon, the National Defense Army General, woke up, but the next instant he was stunned—he realized there was a woman sleeping at his side.
Instinctively he lifted the quilt for a look—damn, the two of them were actually completely naked.
A strong ominous feeling surged over him; he simply sprang to his feet.
Unfortunately, a soft body wrapped around him. It was Lianyi; still groggy and not fully awake, she thought he was the Sovereign.
Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang. Ancient Celestial Dragon suddenly sensed trouble, and the next moment saw the Sovereign rush in with a row of guards.
"You insolent mad dog, Ancient Celestial Dragon, you actually came here to seduce my consort—what crime should you suffer?" The Sovereign was seething with rage. Seeing the two of them naked, tangled together on the bed, he practically wanted to rush forward and hack him to death on the spot.
But as a leader his self‑control was still strong, so he held back the urge. After all, this was the National Defense Army General; if he killed him like this, it would surely cause unrest in the army. He decided to first fix a charge on him, then punish him.
"Sovereign, I’ve been wronged, I was framed. Please, Sovereign, investigate clearly." Ancient Celestial Dragon knew he couldn’t explain this away, but as a straightforward and upright man, he still hoped to clear his name a bit.
"Hmph! At a time like this you still dare quibble? Don’t tell me it was Lianyi who ran out and dragged you in here to do this with her, huh?" The Sovereign was livid, glaring fiercely at Ancient Celestial Dragon as he spoke.
"Sovereign, please believe me. Give me three days and I’ll get to the bottom of this. There must be traitors framing me—this concerns the fate of Huaxia’s realm. I beg the Sovereign to think twice."
Ancient Celestial Dragon felt that whoever had gone to such lengths to harm him must be aiming at the nation’s power.
"Ha! You take me for a fool? Now that everything’s laid bare, letting you go back would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain. You’d immediately raise troops in revolt, and how could I stop you? Men, bind him for me!"
The Sovereign gave Ancient Celestial Dragon no chance; gritting his teeth, he ordered the guards.
After Ancient Celestial Dragon finished dressing, he was bound by the guards and dragged off to prison to await interrogation. Soon after, the Sovereign issued an order, stripping the Ancient National Defense General of his military authority and temporarily putting him on standby.
At this time, morale in the army was in turmoil. Everyone knew it was the Sovereign’s stupidity; a loyal minister like the Ancient National Defense General could never do such a thing, yet the muddle‑headed leader believed it wholeheartedly.
When Xu Fei heard the news, he laughed heartily and immediately summoned the Left and Right Protectors to discuss the next step, preparing to seize the central leadership area of Huaxia and control the leaders.
The next day, the Outer Border army had already reached outside the Capital City. Xu Fei coordinated from within, and once they had taken the leaders’ villa district, he gave the order—thousands of troops charged straight toward the central area.
In the blink of an eye, the situation was decided. The leaders were already captured, but Xu Fei did not usurp their position. Instead, he controlled power from behind the scenes, still letting the leaders manage the surface situation to soothe the army.
Yet a few days later, Xu Fei began to plunder the people all over the country, looting everywhere, plunging the populace into misery, living in dire straits...
Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting rushed all the way to the Capital City, but along the road they saw many refugees fleeing south, the streets full of beggars, abandoned orphans everywhere. This pained Chen Tianlong deeply.
Before long the two arrived at the Capital City. Various decrees of plunder were posted at the city gate. Chen Tianlong stepped forward for a look and found they were issued by the Wolfman Race headquarters.
"That Xu Fei is simply lawless—under the emperor’s nose he dares be this arrogant." Chen Tianlong said through clenched fists.
"Mm, far too arrogant indeed." Wu Mengting nodded.
The two had hurried for so long and were exhausted, so before long they found a restaurant, went in, ordered a pot of tea and some food, and sat down.
They had barely sat a moment when several black‑clad policemen swaggered in.
"Boss, bring a pot of tea for the masters to rinse our mouths, then some side dishes so the brothers can take the edge off. Hurry up." The leader strode in and barked loudly, face pulled taut.
"Honored guests, please, inside. Just a moment." The boss took one look and knew these weren’t good people.
Lately a flood of black‑uniformed police had appeared in the Capital City. Later everyone learned they were actually people from the Wolfman Race headquarters.
While eating, Chen Tianlong heard someone nearby talking about recent events. He happened to catch mention of a major incident in the Capital City. Listening closely, he learned that the National Defense Army General Ancient Celestial Dragon had met with trouble.
Chen Tianlong turned around, deliberately feigning great interest as he asked, "Gentlemen, I’m new to the Capital City. I heard you mention the National Defense Army General Ancient Celestial Dragon and found it quite interesting. Could you tell me what happened?"
Beside him was a fair‑skinned, delicate‑looking young man—obviously a mere scholar. He was indignant about this matter as well, so he softly said, "Sir, you don’t know. Some days ago, it’s said a major incident occurred in the leaders’ villa district. The National Defense Army General Ancient Celestial Dragon actually slept with the concubine Lianyi in the leaders’ villa and was caught in the act by the Sovereign. But I don’t think it’s that simple. I mean, who would be so bold as to sneak into the leaders’ villa district to do such a thing...."
