Chapter 494

A siege that should have been incredibly brutal became comedic because of Zhu Zaidao and his group.

Seeing that these people didn't take him seriously, Jia Wentao both hurriedly summoned reinforcements and urged the subordinates who had already swarmed onto the corridor to quickly kill those old fools blocking the way.

Chen Wuji, who was calmly sitting on the fishing platform, now felt some pity for the two black-clad men and Yuan Qi's son Yuan Dingcheng; it was hard on these three, as they faced over a hundred opponents there.

Especially praiseworthy is Yuan Dingcheng, who looked useless but actually had real skill and showed no weakness.

Though disabled but resolute, he repeatedly used sweeping and whip kicks, taking down seven or eight people.

Moreover, the force of his kicks was extremely swift; anyone who took a kick from him fell down and never got up, appearing as if they had kicked the bucket.

Undoubtedly, was this Yuan family brat pretending earlier? Chen Wuji asked.

Chen Wuyi nodded, "Yes!"

That's ruthless—even pretending to have a broken arm, I guess I still underestimated the endurance of the Yuan family bunch; this old guy Yuan Qi certainly wasn't bragging! Chen Wuji muttered.

How does he compare to you? After a pause, he asked again.

Compared to me, he's slightly weaker, but if he fought Shi Yi Shu, it'd be about even; given more time, Shi Yi Shu would likely be worn out. Chen Wuyi said bluntly.

Chen Li:?

Some brats seem to be itching for a fight.

Chen Wuji carefully recalled tonight's events and suddenly realized that it seemed even he had been set up by the Yuan family tonight. If nothing unexpected, Zhu Ji and the others were probably all lured by that Yuan family brat Yuan Dingcheng.

However, in this regard, Chen Wuji does not blame Yuan Dingcheng; instead, he genuinely admires him a bit.

If Zhu Ji and the others hadn't harbored resentment and contempt toward him, they would not have been so easily lured.

The appearance of those brats at the time was definitely not an act.

Zhu Zaidao, have you and your grandson decided the outcome? If not, I can help you. Chen Wuji said calmly, "Shopkeeper Zhao and the Yuan family brat are working hard; how can you bear to let the alliance struggle so hard while you two grandfather and grandson just waste words here?"

Zhu Ji clung to the column and refused to let go.

Zhu Zaidao leaned on his cane, glaring fixedly at his grandson; the distance to the battlefield was also several dozen steps, and he shuffled along for a long time before moving just four or five steps.

Deputy Commander Chen, are you really determined to force my Zhu family to rebel? Zhu Zaidao suddenly shouted.

Chen Wuji snorted, "What nonsense is that?"

You regard me, Chen Wuji, as a stray dog by the road; what right do I have to force you to rebel? Whether you rebel or not is your business; I have no ability to make you great clans revolt, and I won't take the blame for that—don't just dump it on me.

Zhu Zaidao's lips trembled with anger, "Chen brat, you're ruthless; then my Zhu family will play along with you! Who wins the deer is still undecided—don't get too happy too early."

I've never been happy. Chen Wuji replied coldly, "I don't believe scolding you, old dog, could make you happy; at your age, why do you speak so incoherently? If you truly are as your grandson just said—old and should just die—then stop embarrassing yourself here."

Your provocation tactic is useless against me, old man; I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, so go home and show off to your old mother. Zhu Zaidao mocked.

Chen Wuji's face turned cold, "Beat that old dog half to death and throw him to Jia Wentao!"

Yes!

Chen Wuyi darted forward in a single arrow step, reached Zhu Zaidao's side in a few leaps, then raised his big hand and brought down a heavy slap.

Zhu Zaidao flipped several times in the air, flew out three or four meters, and crashed heavily to the ground.

Although the light was dim in the night, one could still faintly see the blood foam and teeth flying from his mouth.

Chen Wuyi's slap nearly knocked out all of Zhu Zaidao's teeth.

Insulting the ChenClanHead, what are you, Lao Zamao? Chen Wuyi lifted his foot and kicked Zhu Zaidao's face hard, making the old man scream like a pig with its throat blocked.

Just moments ago he was shouting about who would win the deer, still undecided, but in the blink of an eye his face was ruined and his life was down to a mere half.

Chen Wuji was still looking forward to giving him some kind of twist.

Unfortunately, there isn't.

Zhu Ji, huddled beside the column, suddenly shouted urgently, "Deputy Commander Chen, those words were just my grandfather's; they have nothing to do with me—don't kill me. My grandfather is about to die; just kill him and spare my life. We can discuss anything you want—just don't kill me."

Chen Wuji laughed.

He knew there was an idiom "father kind, son filial"; how should this situation be described?

All hall great filial piety, grandfather kind, grandson filial?

It's fine, I won't kill you! Chen Wuji said with an unusually gentle smile, comforting Zhu Ji.

He suddenly understood why past emperors sometimes liked to employ treacherous ministers—they're useless in positive ways but can actually be of great help in negative ways.

Th... thank you, Commander. Zhu Ji's face showed panic, he foolishly grinned, slumped against the column and sat on the ground.

He actually believed it.

Chen Wuyi dragged the dying Zhu Zaidao and flung him into the center of the battle.

Chen Wuyi shouted, "My Deputy Commander's order—this old thing is handed over to you!"

Jia Wentao, hiding behind the crowd, immediately ordered, "Bring that old thing over; we Laborers want to slice him piece by piece as a drinking snack!"

Yes!

Zhu Zaidao was dragged in.

At that very moment, countless figures suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls and eaves.

The show's about over, I'm also tired—let's finish quickly. Chen Wuji picked up his horizontal knife and stood, then turned to look at Gu Nianqing standing beside him, "Miss Gu, should you avoid this? Watching too much makes childbirth easier to cause weakness."

Gu Nianqing:???

She looked at Chen Wuji with a blank face, really not understanding what this scene had to do with childbirth.

I've seen plenty of such things; adults, do as you please! Gu Nianqing said with a light smile.

She wanted to ask how this had anything to do with childbirth.

But she really couldn't open her mouth.

This annoying guy is still as annoying as ever...

Chen Wuji nodded, picked up his horizontal knife and strode forward, shouting loudly, "Send them on their way!"

At the command, the people on the walls and eaves all rushed down.

Originally, Jia Wentao's side held an overwhelming numerical advantage, but in an instant that advantage vanished.

Their vast crowd was already being pressed and beaten by Yuan Dingcheng and his two companions in the corridor; now, facing even more fresh troops than them, they showed defeat right from the first clash.

The two sides' strengths are not even on the same level.

Although the corridor is narrow and not suitable for maneuvering, Yuan Dingcheng and his two companions are firmly pressing them in the fight.

And what is rushing down now are countless Yuan Dingchengs.
