Chapter 86 The Murderer, Li Kai
The General's Mansion.

"You said that Yang Chong went to Zilanxuan with Zuo Sima's wife?" Ji Wuye looked at Bai Feng who was sitting below him and became more and more curious about Yang Chong's behavior. He asked Yang Chong to kill someone, but Yang Chong was busy flirting with a married man.

Ji Wuye couldn't understand such behavior. Although he was also lustful, he only liked young virgins and had no interest in women at all.

"Yes, when I came back to report to the general, Yang Chong had already sent Madam Zuo Sima back to the mansion." Bai Feng replied, with curiosity in his eyes. As the most talented young killer in the night, Bai Feng is young but has carried out dozens of missions. He is experienced and skilled. But even so, he could not see what means Yang Chong was going to use to kill Zuo Sima Liu Yi.

"This Yang Chong has given us quite a few surprises. Maybe he can really give this general a surprise." Ji Wuye pondered. He could not see through Yang Chong's methods, but he also did not think that Yang Chong was really a lustful man. He could see a shadow similar to himself when he was young in Yang Chong. Such a person would definitely do something shocking.

"You go back and pay close attention to Yang Chong's every move. Don't miss any details." Ji Wuye instructed Bai Feng again.

"Yes." Bai Feng took his leave and disappeared into the darkness.

Left Sima Mansion.

Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief when she returned home. Yang Chong finally left. The anxiety she had felt along the way finally calmed down. She was not afraid that Yang Chong would really do something more excessive to her, but she was afraid that she would not be able to refuse Yang Chong at that time.

Thinking of what happened in Zilanxuan, Mrs. Hu felt extremely ashamed. How could she do that?
No, how could he do that? Mrs. Hu felt her heart pounding, and the strange feeling in her body reappeared.

Forget it, forget it, just consider it as my reward to him. From today onwards, I must never do such a thing again. I must completely forget about it. I can't... Madam Hu suddenly knew that Yang Chong lied to her and called her his aunt in order to come to the mansion to see her. She felt a chill in her heart, and another taboo string was touched.

"Oh, you have caused me so much trouble." Mrs. Hu sighed softly. Everything that happened tonight seemed like a dream. She found her daughter who had been lost for many years, and also found her long-lost desire.

"Who has harmed Madam? Is it me?" As soon as Mrs. Hu finished sighing, the door was roughly pushed open, and the murderous Liu Yi appeared in front of her.

"Why are you back, master?" Mrs. Hu was also surprised to see Liu Yi suddenly appear. Didn't he go to the military camp?

"What? Do I need to report to my wife before I return to my own mansion?" Liu Yi suppressed the anger in his heart. At this moment, he wished he could kill the woman in front of him.

"What's wrong with you tonight?" Mrs. Hu asked with a frown. Liu Yi was really abnormal today.

"What's wrong with me tonight? Ha, I should be the one asking you this, my dear wife." Liu Yi also said coldly with gritted teeth.

Could it be? Mrs. Hu was shocked when she heard this, and her face changed.

"Do you want me to tell you?" Liu Yi approached Mrs. Hu, his face distorted in anger, but he couldn't make a move. He really loved the woman in front of him.

In the original trajectory, even if he discovered the identity of Nanyue, he only dared to return to the mansion to question Madam Hu and drink alone. No matter what kind of person he was, Liu Yi could not deny that he liked Madam Hu. Unfortunately, he was wrong from the beginning. When he murdered Li Kai and massacred the people in Huoyu Villa in order to get Madam Hu, everything he did for his love was a joke.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't do anything tonight." Mrs. Hu explained quickly. What she was thinking at this moment was that Liu Yi must not be informed of the existence of Nong Yu, otherwise Nong Yu would be in real danger.

"Didn't do anything? Ha, I didn't do anything. You bitch, do you really want me to tell you everything? Have I been bad to you all these years? Why did you betray me?" Liu Yi approached Mrs. Hu with a hoarse voice.

"I didn't." Facing the vicious Liu Yi, Mrs. Hu was extremely scared, but she could only resist.

"Bitch." Looking at his wife who refused to admit it, Liu Yi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and slapped the face that he cherished so much.

The huge force caused Mrs. Hu to stagger and fall to the ground. The severe pain on her face made her unconscious.

Liu Yi leaned over and pulled open Mrs. Hu's collar and tore off her inner garment. Her fair skin was covered with blue and red scratches and kiss marks. They were so glaring that they constantly struck Liu Yi's sight and stung his mind.

"Bitch, isn't your eldest nephew grown up yet? Does he need to seek maternal love from you, his aunt?" Liu Yi kicked Mrs. Hu. He really couldn't bear to look at her. Every time he looked at her, his rage grew and his murderous intent increased.

Mrs. Hu, whose clothes were wide open, also realized that Liu Yi was talking about this matter, but...

Thinking of Nanyue and Yang Chong, Mrs. Hu decided to conceal the existence of Nanyue. If it was just an affair, she would just let Liu Yi misunderstand it.

"You know everything?" Mrs. Hu slowly closed her clothes and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. At this moment, she was no longer a woman, but a mother. Women are weak by nature, but they are strong when they become mothers. This sentence was fully reflected in Mrs. Hu at this moment.

I missed it once sixteen years ago, and I must not make the same mistake again this time. Mrs. Hu thought to herself, and her past timidity had turned into strength.

"You have done such shameless things, and you are still afraid that I will know?" The change in Mrs. Hu's expression made Liu Yi even more angry.

She was not ashamed or frightened. Not only did she not know she was wrong, but she was also so fearless?
Mrs. Hu's firm and calm expression turned into a provocation in Liu Yi's eyes. It was a naked provocation to a man.

"So you care about these things?" Mrs. Hu struggled to stand up.

"You? You..." Liu Yi's hands were shaking with anger. How dare this woman do this?
"I was no longer a virgin before I married you. Didn't you not care at that time?" Mrs. Hu asked back.

"You, you..." Liu Yi was speechless.

"I always thought you didn't care." Mrs. Hu now only wanted to confirm the fact of adultery that Liu Yi believed, in order to cover up the fact that Nanyue existed.

"I will kill you, you bitch." Liu Yi completely collapsed. He slapped the table beside him, breaking the solid wood table into pieces. He took a step forward and pulled out the long sword from the wooden frame.

Liu Yi pointed his sword at the woman he loved most and approached her step by step. He saw a look of fear on Mrs. Hu's face.

"Bitch, you're scared now, but it's too late." Liu Yi approached Mrs. Hu step by step. Mrs. Hu's panic turned into something else in his sight.

At this moment, Liu Yi suddenly realized that destroying a person you like is more pleasurable than simply liking him/her. Liu Yi's sword was already against Mrs. Hu's heart. At this moment, Mrs. Hu's face had lost all color, and she was only filled with fear, and she even forgot to dodge.

"Bitch, go to hell." Liu Yi, who had completely gone insane, was about to stab hard, but at this moment, he felt a piercing pain, and a bloody sword blade suddenly emerged from his heart.

"How is this possible? Who is it?" Liu Yi, whose heart was pierced, lost all his strength with the sudden sword. He turned around with difficulty and saw a sloppy man in tattered clothes and stinking body standing there. It was he who pierced his heart with a sword from behind.

"Is it you?" Countless figures flashed through Liu Yi's mind, and finally stopped on a figure that should have been dead and could no longer exist.

"It's me." Li Kai looked at Liu Yi in front of him. There was no satisfaction of revenge on his face, but only a hint of sadness.

Even if Liu Yi was killed, what would it matter? What he lost could never be found again. The high-spirited Right Sima of Han State died after all, and the one who was alive now was just a walking corpse.

If Liu Yi had not wanted to kill Madam Hu today, Li Kai would never have taken action, let alone shown up. He could not seek revenge for himself, but he could never sit idly by and watch Liu Yi hurt Madam Hu.

"Okay, okay, okay. I didn't expect that I, Liu Yi, would have this day." Liu Yi smiled bitterly. The remaining strength could no longer support his body. He fell down limply. A trail of blood bloomed under his body, that was the lost life.

Mrs. Hu looked at the scene in front of her, expressions of shock, fear, and surprise constantly intertwined on her face. She could only bite her hand to prevent herself from making any sound.

"Are you okay?" Li Kai looked at Mrs. Hu in front of him, and a look of tenderness appeared on his old face.

"Are you really still alive? I knew you were not dead. I knew you must be alive. Why didn't you come to see me after all these years?" Mrs. Hu walked forward and was about to hug Li Kai, crying.

But Li Kai dodged it. In front of Mrs. Hu's puzzled look, Li Kai said, "I am now half crippled."

"I don't mind. I won't dislike you." Mrs. Hu said quickly.

The tenderness on Mrs. Hu's face made Li Kai more determined in his thoughts: Since I can no longer give you happiness, I cannot prevent others from giving you happiness.

Thinking about what he saw today and the words Liu Yi said when he vowed to kill Madam Hu, Li Kai was able to come to a conclusion: the person Madam Hu wanted love from was no longer him, and Madam Hu already had someone she loved again.

After coming to this conclusion, Li Kai only hoped that Mrs. Hu could live a better life. He didn't want to drag Mrs. Hu down because of himself.

So in the face of Mrs. Hu's tenderness, Li Kai just said indifferently: "Madam, don't misunderstand, I came here today just for revenge, it has nothing to do with you."

"Revenge? Because he took me away?" Seeing Li Kai's indifference, Mrs. Hu's heart sank, but she still had a glimmer of hope.

"Madam, please don't misunderstand. The revenge I mentioned is only because Liu Yi colluded with the Baiyue rebels, leaked military intelligence, and framed me. As for you..." Li Kai looked at Madam Hu, his eyes revealing reluctance and pity, but in the end it turned into determination.

"You were just a tool of mine back then. I followed the prince's order to seize the treasure of Fire Rain Villa, so I got close to you." Li Kai possessed and cut off Liu Yi's head, holding it in his hand. The bloody head was particularly scary, but to Mrs. Hu, it was not as frightening as his words.

"I'm just a tool?" Mrs. Hu murmured. The only relationship that she had buried deep in her heart for many years collapsed.

"You are just a tool for me to get the treasure of Huoyu Villa, just a tool for me to complete my orders." Li Kai said painfully. How could he bear to hurt the woman he loved most, but he had no choice but to do so. He did this for Mrs. Hu's own good, so that Mrs. Hu could continue to live without burden, and so that Mrs. Hu could have a new and complete relationship.

"You are all bad people, all bastards." Mrs. Hu shouted angrily while crying, she collapsed.

"Yeah, we are all bastards." Li Kai muttered to himself, turned and left. He still had one last thing to do for Mrs. Hu.

"You are all bad people, all bastards." Mrs. Hu, who fell powerlessly on the ground, kept talking to herself as she looked at Liu Yi's headless body. She found her daughter tonight, but she also lost something equally important.

"Is everything about me a joke?" Mrs. Hu looked out the window. The moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight was flawless, but all she saw was filth. This was a dirty world.

On a rooftop outside, Mo Ya and Bai Feng watched everything that happened in Zuo Sima's mansion. These two top killers in the Night Sky looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Yang Chong and Madam Hu, Liu Yi and Li Kai?

"Has Yang Chong completed his mission?" Bai Feng spoke after a long time. What happened tonight overturned his cognition.

"It seems so. Now that Liu Yi is dead, the murderer was Li Kai who should have died. And he was the king's man, so no one would suspect the general." Mo Ya said, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"So all this was guided by Yang Chong?" Bai Feng asked, with a confused look on his face, confusion in his eyes, and a hint of fear.

"That should be it!" Mo Ya said uncertainly. He had killed many people, including bandits who were rampant, high-ranking officials and nobles who went in and out of the court, and ordinary people, but he had never killed anyone like Yang Chong.

"Who is he?" Bai Feng asked.

"I don't know, but he is a very scary person." said Mo Ya.

Liu Yi, the left Sima of Han, died in his own mansion. This was a major event that was enough to shock the entire Han Dynasty.

Just when rumors were spreading throughout the Kingdom of Han about Liu Yi's death and people's hearts were unsettled, a man who was supposed to be dead appeared in front of the gate of the King of Han's palace holding Liu Yi's head when the ministers of Han were attending court.

Amid the shocked gazes, the man held up Liu Yi's head and said, "The murderer is Li Kai!"
