Chapter 861: Fight Ma Chao by Lamplight

Chapter 861

The disaster brought by the war was something Li Letian despised deeply, but not the Rong Clan—he always knew they coveted the Empire and bore it ill will. The person who truly made Li Letian grind his teeth with hatred was Cheng Dalei, who, in this battle, was curiously inconspicuous.

Cheng Dalei certainly had the troops to march on Chang'an and rescue the hanging lives of the common folk, yet he chose to stand by idly, watching Chang'an fall into dire straits.

Anyone could tell that Cheng Dalei was waiting for the various lords of the realm to exhaust themselves before stepping in like a fisherman reaping the benefits, gathering the world into his pocket.

How cunning and utterly shameless.

As a close official to Li Letian, Ma Chao naturally inherited his hatred. If Cheng Dalei had been in front of him, he would have wished to tear him apart on the spot—provided he could win against Cheng Dalei.
