Chapter 204 - Rebel of the King Chu

"Seems like Sect Master Ling has already guessed it." Ye Lvhongji sighed and said.

Ling Xiao laughed blandly: "What is Hongji's leader doing, it seems like it is a pity. Could it be that you want to see something on my face that will satisfy you?"

Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji shook his head: "No, no, I was just casually saying it."

Just then, a Soldiers ran into the hall and shouted loudly, "Reporting to Lord Hong Ji, the war in Imperial City is here to report!"

"What?" The war at Imperial City? " Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji immediately stood up from his chair, his face full of shock, obviously he did not expect that to happen.

But the Soldiers did not immediately speak up. Instead, he sneakily raised his head and glanced at Ling Xiao.

Seeing this, Ye Lvhongji immediately said: "Don't worry, hurry up and say it."

"Yes!" The reports from the Imperial City came over. The father and son pair had rebelled against the King Chu and had already invaded the Imperial City. At the same time, they had also kidnapped Lord Hong Ji's family members as a threat! " Soldiers said, at the same time his head was almost buried in the ground, as though he was worried about Ye Lvhongji's subsequent rage.

Sure enough, Ye Lvhongji opened his eyes wide, as if flames were going to spew out of his eyes.

"This bunch of bastards!" They actually dared to touch my family! " Ye Lvhongji angrily smashed his fist on the chair behind him, which shattered with a bang.

"Hongji's leader, don't be anxious. The other party must be trying to threaten you in exchange for more valuable things. That way, they won't take the initiative. Seeing that, Ling Xiao also stood up and advised.

To every single person, their families were always the most important, even more so than their lives. Therefore, Ling Xiao could understand Ye Lvhongji's current anger.

Perhaps it was because of Ling Xiao's presence that Ye Lvhongji held back in the end and did not continue to release his anger. However, one could see from his ashen face that he was forcefully restraining his fury, and on the verge of exploding.

"Sect Master Ling, I'm afraid I can't accompany you any longer." Ye Lvhongji said as he gnashed his teeth. It could be seen that he was in extreme discomfort at the moment.

Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "Hongji's leader, since I am here, I do not plan on eating and drinking together. If you really view me as your brother, then please allow me to do my part."

Hearing this, Ye Lvhongji looked up at Ling Xiao, and said with a grateful tone: "Sect Master Ling, I, Ye Lvhongji, owe you a great favor!"

Ling Xiao waved his hand and said: "If Hongji's leader continues to behave like this, I will be angry, and you are still treating me like an outsider."

Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji immediately walked in front of Ling Xiao and cupped his fists: "Sect Master Ling, don't misunderstand, I was just feeling happy that you were able to come and help me."

"We are all brothers of our own, there is no need to be so polite. Right now, let's hurry up and analyze the situation." Ling Xiao patted Ye Lvhongji's shoulder and said softly.

"Alright!" Ye Lvhongji then turned to look at the Soldiers that came to report, and said loudly: "Immediately organize all the information, and wait at the sand table."

"Yes!" Master Hong Ji! " Hearing that, the Soldiers immediately accepted his orders and left.

After that, Ye Lvhongji brought Ling Xiao to the military's sand table. This was the map of the entire Chidan, naturally there was also the location of the Imperial City.

When the information was gathered, Ling Xiao asked the Soldiers to analyze the current battle situation.

That was why Ye Lvhongji had sent him to guard one side of the Imperial City. But who would have thought that the other party would take the opportunity to get through the internal guards of the Imperial City when Ye Lvhongji was out, and work from the inside, taking down the Imperial City in one fell swoop.

"It's really hard for a thief to guard against this. I didn't expect this guy who eats the enemy inside out to launch an attack like this. It seems that he has already spent a long time to set it up." Ye Lvhongji could not help but curse.

"It seems that most of the forces in the King Chu are already focused on attacking the Imperial City." Ling Xiao quickly brought up the main point.

Hearing this, Ye Lvhongji could not help but be stunned, his angry expression slowly froze. He sensed that Ling Xiao should already have an idea in mind.

"Sect Master Ling, if you have any ideas, feel free to speak." Ye Lvhongji immediately said.

Ling Xiao nodded his head, then said: "If the King Chu were to send all of his troops to attack the Imperial City, then the territory of the King Chu would definitely be extremely empty, and if that is the case, we can choose to attack his territory."

Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji understood what Ling Xiao meant. If he knew that his own territory had been attacked, King Chu would definitely be a little worried, but thinking about it again, Ye Lvhongji's face became nervous.

"Sect Master Ling, although the method you mentioned is indeed able to suppress the invasion of the King Chu, but wouldn't my family be in trouble this way?" Ye Lvhongji said worriedly.

If not for this idea coming out of Ling Xiao's mouth, rather, it was the strategists who came out. With Ye Lvhongji's current anger, he might have immediately ordered them to drag it out and kill him.

Ling Xiao nodded his head, and continued: "Of course I have considered this point, so I have decided to let the Hongji's leader lead the troops to attack the old nest of the King Chu, and I am heading to the Imperial City to rescue your family."

"What?" Sect Master Ling, isn't this way of doing things a bit too dangerous? " Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji was prepared to shake his head and reject his offer. Although he knew that Ling Xiao was very capable, but wanting to face the entire Imperial City's rebel army alone and even save his entire family was simply a pipe dream.

Ling Xiao understood Ye Lvhongji's worries, and then explained: "Don't be excited Hongji's leader, after hearing my words, the only reason why King Chu was able to kidnap your entire family must be because of an inside story, but in the end, it is still a betrayal, and King Chu does not dare guarantee that the people who promise to betray will be loyal to him, so, they will not keep your family imprisoned in Imperial City for a long time."

After pausing for a moment, Ling Xiao continued: "That is to say, find a chance to contact your trusted aides in the Imperial City and let them investigate your family's hiding place as fast as possible. After that, just hand the rest over to me."

Ling Xiao's plan was feasible, because the King Chu's attack on the Imperial City was so sudden. If not for Ye Lvhongji hiding this information amongst his trusted aides and informants, the King Chu would have had to personally inform Ye Lvhongji of this news.

But at that time, it would definitely be when the King Chu has properly arranged everything in the Imperial City. If he doesn't take down the Imperial City by himself, he should be feeling extremely anxious.
