Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 516: Furious Rage

The Young General, Li An’s love affair did not have a perfect ending despite his compliance with his parents. Li An loved the unruly and willful Li Qing from the bottom of his heart and Li Qing felt the same. They both harbored true feelings for each other, so how could they tolerate a third person?

Li An yielded to his parents but did not dare to tell Li Qing; instead, he kept it a secret and continued to love Li Qing deeply. But in this world, is there a wall that does not let the wind pass through?

It was not until Li An had completed five of the six pre-wedding ceremonies with his fiancée, Liu Li, and only the wedding procession was left, that Li Qing accidentally found out.

Li Qing was both furious and desperate, but this time he did not resort to a suicide threat. Instead, while enjoying intimate moments with Li An, he drugged him with Knockout Drug and stole his Tiger Talisman before leaving.

And at this time, there was only one month left before Li An’s wedding.

The theft of the Tiger Talisman was a matter of great consequence. If the news got out, it was certain that every member of the Li Family would lose their heads. No one dared to publicize it. After some discussions, the Li Family announced to the outside world that Li An had suddenly fallen ill and needed to take leave for recuperation. In reality, Li An disguised himself and set off in pursuit of Li Qing to retrieve the Tiger Talisman.

This pursuit brought him to Chengdu Prefecture, and it was here that Li An, unlucky as he was, encountered Ah Jiu, which led to the events that followed.

Now, Li An had yet to recover the Tiger Talisman, but it had fallen into Ah Jiu’s hands.

This Tiger Talisman, though small, could summon an army of ten thousand. Such an important object was now in the hands of the Prefect’s son of a foreign country.

Ah Jiu, if he said he was not furious, would be lying.

"My lord, Li An is kneeling outside asking for forgiveness," Su Luo reported as he entered.

Ah Jiu scoffed, "Asking for forgiveness? He is not worthy!"

"My lord, Li An has been away for a long time. If he does not rejoin his troops promptly, I fear the soldiers’ morale may falter. Please make a decision quickly," Su Luo hesitated for a moment, then said.

Ah Jiu’s stern gaze swept over, "Are you pleading on his behalf?"

"Your subordinate wouldn’t dare!" Su Luo knelt down.

"A general who could lose a Tiger Talisman has no right to ask for forgiveness in my presence. On the basis of this crime alone, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to accuse the Li family of colluding with the enemy and treason. According to the law, the Li family should be sentenced to decimation," Ah Jiu said with a forceful slam of his fist.

The Tiger Talisman, such an important artifact, to be stolen, and by a so-called Cinnabar Mole at that! Did they, the Li family, take the reign of the Jhin family as a joke?

It was also sheer coincidence that I was in Nanyue and just happened to come here and run into this. Otherwise, would the Li family have deceived everyone?

"My lord, the Li family has always maintained neutrality, never taking sides. This could be an opportunity. What do you think, should we take control of the Li family?" Yuan Ye poured a cup of tea for Ah Jiu and quietly asked. Although my lord is not one of those princes fighting for power, no one would complain about having too many chips in hand.

"A useless man who could lose a Tiger Talisman is worth my time?" Ah Jiu snorted with laughter.

It wasn’t that he looked down upon the Li family. Li An was indeed the rightful eldest son and the Young General known for his early achievements. Sooner or later, the Li family would be his, but what value could a man who could not distinguish between serious matters and could lose a Tiger Talisman have left?

A competent general would never lose such an important item over romantic entanglements, putting the lives of countless citizens at stake, especially for a worthless fellow like that.

Ah Jiu was very disappointed in Li An; no amount of youthful fame could outweigh such a grave transgression, as he carried the safety of a nation on his shoulders.

What use was such a person!

"Do not forget, my lord, that there is also a Li Jin in the Li family," Yuan Ye lightly said. "Given this event, General Li the Elder may well become disappointed with Li An, and Li Jin, whom he also has been nurturing, is a capable and valiant individual!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Jiu slowly calmed down.
