Chapter 512 Inhuman Life

Ultimately, the coup was brought to an end with the intervention of Wang Wenzhou.

Yi Hun was reinstated in Seoul, but less than two days later, he was wiped out by Yi Jong's confidants, and Yi Hun was exiled to a small island once again.

Li Zong is now Wang Wenzhou's hostage—no, that's not quite right. He's now escorting Wang Wenzhou back to the Ming Dynasty.

Tens of thousands of Korean soldiers surrounded Wang Wenzhou's men, fearing that Wang Wenzhou would go mad and kill Li Zong.

Wang Wenzhou didn't intend to kill Li Zong, but Li Zong had endured an inhuman life along the way. He ate excrement and drank urine, and his concubines were distributed among the brothers of the anti-traitor camp by Wang Wenzhou.

Li Zong spent every day in tears, and he even wanted to die. The reason he didn't die was that he wanted to take revenge on Wang Wenzhou one day.

Inside the sedan chair, Wang Wenzhou, with one arm around Chen Yuanyuan and the other around Wang Ying, drank alone in silence.

Li Ling looked at Wang Wenzhou with tears in her eyes and pleaded, "Lord Wang, please, my father hasn't eaten or drunk anything for days. If this continues, his body won't be able to take it."

Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "Little Lingling, what does it have to do with me if your dad doesn't eat? Did I not give him food or water? He's just being unreasonable, refusing to eat or drink. Do you expect me to beg him to eat?"

Li Ling was on the verge of tears. "Wang Wenzhou, you bastard! Can you eat or drink excrement? I've tolerated your insults, but you can't torture my father to death!"

"Lord Wang, my father is so old, please have mercy and give him something to eat," Li Ling pleaded again.

“Little Lingling, Li Mei is your cousin. You should know how she died, right?” Wang Wenzhou asked.

Li Ling nodded. She knew that Wang Wenzhou was tormenting her father because of Li Mei's death.

Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "How can I say I didn't save your father's life? If it weren't for me, your father would have been killed by Li Hui long ago. Your father forced my baby to his death, and I offered him a piece of shit, but he's as tough as nails and refuses to eat it! Why should he?"

"Lord Wang, please spare my father. He's stubborn, please don't take it to heart. I will serve you like a slave to repay your kindness!" Li Ling truly felt sorry for her father.

"How about this!" Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "As long as you get your dad to call me 'Dad,' I'll treat him to a meal."

"Pfft!" Chen Yuanyuan burst out laughing. You rascal, you're so good at getting the upper hand with words.

Li Ling nodded and said, "I will go and persuade my father right away."

After saying that, Li Ling stood up and prepared to get dressed.

"Wait!" Wang Wenzhou said irritably, "Little Lingling, is there anyone like you? What's the rush? It's not mealtime yet, eat first before you leave."

"Mmm!" Li Ling nodded, feeling wronged, and quickly knelt back down.

In the evening, the team set up camp, and Wang Wenzhou hosted a banquet for Li Zong.

With the food and wine laid out, Wang Wenzhou waved his hand and said, "Little Lingling, didn't you persuade your father? Call him in."

"Okay!" Li Ling nodded and went out to bring her father into the account.

“Father, Wang Wenzhou is just a mad dog, don’t take him seriously. It’s just calling me ‘Dad’! You once taught your daughter that a true man can bend and stretch, what’s a little grievance? Father, you don’t know, I haven’t dared to tell you about what I’ve been through these past few days!” Li Ling advised her father again.

"Sigh..." Li Zong sighed and said helplessly, "It was my fault back then. I shouldn't have forced Mei'er to her death. Now that I think about it, if it weren't for Wang Wenzhou, I might have been killed by the rebels long ago."

Li Zong also came to a realization: when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head; a living person can't just starve to death.

The father and daughter entered the tent.

Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Old Li, hurry up! What are you waiting for?"

Li Zong reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "Your son Li Zong greets Father."

"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, "Good boy, come and sit down!"

Li Zong curled his lip. There was really no way to deal with Wang Wenzhou, that mad dog. He was overjoyed when Wang Wenzhou called him "father".

Li Zong quickly sat down.

Wang Wenzhou pointed to the food on the table and said with a smile, "Old Li, eat up. I know you've been starving for days, you must be starving."

Li Zong stopped being polite, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to wolf down his food.

Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Wang Ying, took a sip of wine from her mouth, and said with a smile, "Little Lingling, sing a little tune for me!"

Li Ling's expression changed. "Lord Wang, you can't do this! You're making your daughter sing lewd songs in front of her father. That's going too far!"

"Lord Wang...which song should I sing?" Li Ling was really afraid that Wang Wenzhou would make her sing "Eighteen Touches".

Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Let's sing 'The East Is Red'."

"Phew..." Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness!

"The East is Red, the sun rises. The Ming Dynasty produced a Wang Wenzhou, who brought happiness to Korea. Oh my, he is the great savior of Korea..." Li Ling's singing voice was far inferior to Chen Yuanyuan's. Wang Wenzhou made her sing this song, of course, to disgust Li Zong.

Li Zong had already started calling Wang Wenzhou "Dad," so he didn't care anymore. He had no shame anyway, so he just kept his head down and ate.

Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly and said, "I'll let you eat. If you can still eat later, I'll call you Dad!"

After Li Ling finished singing, Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Little Lingling, stop singing and go serve your husband dinner."

"Hmm!" Li Ling nodded helplessly and quickly picked up Dog Ye and Xiao Lanlan.

Li Zong turned around, his face turning green. He saw his beloved daughter feeding the dog mouth-to-mouth. "Wang Wenzhou, you mad dog! I'll remember this grudge!"

For Li Zong, Wang Wenzhou's actions were a blatant slap in the face. But now, he was at Wang's mercy, and could only endure it.

Just then, a sound came from inside.

Li Zong frowned, because he was very familiar with the owner of the voice. He knew it so well that he could recognize it immediately, even from a single syllable, as one of his princesses.

"Hoo..." Li Zong took a deep breath. "I'm not angry. Wang Wenzhou, you just wait! A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"

Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Old Li, I haven't neglected your wives and concubines these past few days. I have many strong men under my command, and I've found several men to keep each of your wives and concubines company. Listen to how happy they are now!"

Li Zong was so angry his face turned green. What man likes to be cuckolded! And the way he was being cuckolded was so extreme, it was almost as if he was witnessing it firsthand.

"Father, please eat some more!" Li Ling was afraid that her father would lose his temper and anger Wang Wenzhou, and then be tortured by Wang Wenzhou again.

Li Zong suppressed his anger and channeled his grief into his appetite, eating and drinking heartily.

"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, "Old Li, I'm very curious to know, after I leave, what will you do with your wives and concubines? Will you drown them in a pig cage?"

"Pfft..." Li Zong spat out a mouthful of wine in anger. Wang Wenzhou, you mad dog, will you ever stop?! I forced Li Mei to her death for the sake of the reputation of my great Korean royal family, which is completely unrelated to your actions!
