Chapter 784 Cai Guang is dead

Cai Cheng returned to his residence with an irritable and heavy heart.

The conversation with Wu Ya made Cai Cheng feel extremely bad. He felt as if he was being deliberately marginalized by Wu Ya.

"Little girl, you haven't even sat firmly on the throne yet, but you're already thinking about seizing power, hum!" Cai Cheng snorted coldly.

In his heart, Cai Cheng didn't think much of Wu Ya as the emperor. Although Wu Ya had good popularity in the past and everyone had a good relationship with her, that was because Wu Ya was a woman. No one had ever thought that one day Wu Ya would ascend the throne.

In this world where male power is supreme, it is not easy to make them recognize the ability of women. If there was no choice, Cai Cheng and others would not have chosen to support Wu Ya's ascension to the throne.

When supporting Wu Ya's ascension to the throne, Cai Cheng was still thinking in his heart that a woman like Wu Ya would ascend the throne with limited ability and would definitely not be able to govern Nanping well. At that time, they would have to rely on their ministers. At that time, they could control the power and slowly sideline Wu Ya.

However, Cai Cheng did not expect that before they had time to sideline Wu Ya, Wu Ya had already started to sideline him, which made him very annoyed.

"Wait until Wu Fan is defeated on the battlefield, and I'll see how you end it!" Cai Cheng said to himself.

Cai Cheng, who thought he understood the current situation, did not think that Wu Fan could win this war. Failure was only a matter of time. Even without Cai Guang's interference, Wu Fan could not defeat the coalition forces of Black Water and Shuiyue.

Once Wu Fan was defeated, Wu Ya, who pushed Wu Fan to the top against all odds, would definitely lose all his dignity. At that time, he would definitely beg these old ministers to come out to save the situation. At that time, they could still take the opportunity to control the power.

Just when Cai Cheng was imagining that he was about to control all the troops of Nanping State and didn't even have to obey Wu Ya's orders, a servant stumbled in.

"Old... Master..." The servant came to the hall and knelt on the ground with a plop, panting heavily and his face flushed.

"What's going on? You don't know etiquette, how can you be so shameless!" Cai Cheng, whose imagination was interrupted, immediately scolded the servant with a gloomy face.

Cai Cheng was born in the army and had been in the army for many years. He was a rough man. In the past, he was surrounded by rough people in the army, and it was nothing. However, when he was promoted to the Minister of War and served in the same palace with those civil officials, he was often ridiculed by other officials because he didn't know etiquette, which made Cai Cheng embarrassed and annoyed. Later, he not only spent a long time learning some etiquette among the nobles, but also required the servants in his house to know etiquette.

Obviously, the servant in front of him did not do this.

"Master, something big happened!" The servant didn't care about being scolded by Cai Cheng, and said with his mouth wide open and a panicked face.

"What happened?" Cai Cheng's eyelids jumped violently, and he suddenly felt a little panic in his heart. This feeling was so bad that he didn't care about scolding the servant anymore, just wanted to know what happened.

"General Cai Guangcai is dead!"

"What?!" Cai Cheng stood up suddenly, and because of the large amplitude of the movement, he accidentally knocked over the teacup beside him, and the fragments flew everywhere.

"What did you just say? Say it again!" Cai Cheng asked in shock. He wondered if he had just heard an auditory hallucination, because what the servant just said was too shocking and unbelievable.

"General Cai Guangcai is dead." The servant replied again.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!" Cai Cheng said sternly.

"General Cai has never been used to the food in the army, so he ordered meals from Fumanlou in the city, and Fumanlou delivered three meals a day to the camp. Today, the Shenhu camp set out suddenly, and Fumanlou didn't know about it. As usual, the waiter in the store delivered the prepared food to the camp of the Shenhu camp. When the waiter arrived there, he found that the Shenhu camp had already set out, and there were two bodies in the camp, one of which was General Cai's! His head was chopped off, and the body was lying in the camp without anyone paying attention. After the waiter confirmed the identity of General Cai, he hurriedly ran to our house to report the news, and now he is still outside the house." The servant told Cai Cheng what he knew.

The more Cai Cheng listened, the uglier his face became. In the end, his face was completely gloomy, and at the same time, his face was full of anger.

"Bring the waiter in."

"Yes, sir."

Soon, the waiter of Fumanlou was brought in. He still had a panicked look on his face. It was obvious that he had not fully recovered from the shock of seeing Cai Guang's body before.

"What did you see in the camp of the Kobe Camp? Tell me everything." Cai Cheng asked with a gloomy face.

"Yes, sir."

The waiter then told Cai Cheng everything he saw in the Kobe Camp. What he said was not much different from what the servant said just now.

"Come here!"

After listening to the waiter's narration, Cai Cheng shouted.

"Prepare the sedan chair! No! Prepare the horse!"

Cai Cheng, who came from the military, naturally knew how to ride a horse. However, since he became the Minister of War, in order to appear elegant and get rid of the roughness in himself, Cai Cheng has not ridden a horse for a long time. However, today, he obviously wants to make an exception.

Soon, a team of cavalry set out from Cai's mansion and headed straight for the previous camp of the Kobe camp outside the city. The leader was none other than the Minister of War, Cai Cheng!

When Cai Cheng and his party arrived at the camp before the Kobe camp, they saw that it was empty and there were only some sundries. Because the Kobe camp left in a hurry, they did not have time to deal with them.

Cai Cheng rode his horse directly into the camp and saw two bodies in the camp. He saw the familiar body at a glance. Even though there was no head on the body at this moment, he instantly confirmed the identity of the body.

It was his nephew, Cai Guang!

When he saw the body, Cai Cheng's body swayed on the horse's back for a few times, and his eyes were dark.

"My lord!"

"Master, be careful!"

The follower who followed him was shocked, jumped off the horse, and supported Cai Cheng's body.

Cai Cheng got off the horse and walked towards Cai Guang's body with heavy steps. Not far from the body, there was a lonely head lying there, and the shocked expression on his face had not yet dissipated.

Cai Cheng's face was extremely gloomy, and the murderous aura on his body was getting heavier. As a veteran of many battles, he had not had the urge to kill someone with his own hands for a long time. If the murderer of Cai Guang stood in front of him, he would definitely draw his knife and chop the other person without any hesitation.
