"Dad, you must help me this time. I don't believe it. A pretty boy dares to be so arrogant. I won't be willing to kill him until he is killed." In a house located in the south of Luoyang City, what happened to Xiao Wu just now Wang Xuanying, who couldn't hold back his food, recounted his experience to his father Wang Shichong, who was sitting above him, with an angry look on his face.
Listening to Wang Xuanying's words, Wang Shichong kept his eyes closed and remained silent. After Wang Xuanying finished speaking, Wang Shichong slowly opened his eyes, but did not glance at Wang Xuanying. Instead, he picked up the tea cup at hand. He took a sip of tea and slowly put down the cup. Seeing that his father had no reaction at all, Wang Xuanying lost his temper. He stood up and walked quickly to Wang Shichong's side. He shouted: "Dad, you... …”
"Pa." Before Wang Xuanying could finish speaking, Wang Shichong suddenly opened his eyes and waved his hand, giving his son a slap in the face. The slap was fast and hard. Suddenly, Wang Xuanying's face was filled with emotion. There was a bright red slap mark, and even a blood stain oozed from the corner of his mouth. Wang Xuanying was also stunned by his father's slap. He just touched his cheek and stood there stupidly, looking at Wang Shichong in a daze.
Wang Shichong glared at his son fiercely and shouted angrily: "You bastard. My father has warned you a long time ago. This is Dongdu, not Jiangdu. At the feet of the emperor, you can't help doing this. That young man is obviously with the princess. Acquaintance. Do you think an ordinary young man would have the chance to make friends with a golden princess? Beware of arrogance and impetuosity. Beware of arrogance and impetuosity. My father has mentioned these four words to you countless times over the years. Why can't you remember it?"
"Uh." After being scolded by Wang Shichong, Wang Xuanying finally understood. But he was still a little unconvinced. He hummed: "Dad, I also know that there are many people in this place that we cannot afford to offend. But no matter who it is, Children of the royal family or children of the Yuwen family. Children can recognize those people. This pretty boy is not one of them. As long as he is not one of these people, then with your strength, dad, there is no one else you need to be afraid of."
"Confused." After hearing Wang Xuanying's defense, Wang Shichong stood up in confusion. He almost couldn't help but slap him again. But Wang Xuanying was his son after all. Seeing his cheeks that had begun to swell, Wang Shichong After all, I couldn't let go of this slap. I could only yell and curse with a face full of hatred: "There are a lot of people in the Eastern Capital. No one knows who they will meet. Don't think that except for the royal family and the Yuwen family, You can ignore other people. Let’s just talk about Yu Shiji. His grace from the Holy Spirit will definitely not be less than that of his father. In addition, there are many people who his father cannot afford to offend. These Over the past few years, our Wang family has been focusing on governing Jiangnan, but the situation in Dongdu has become increasingly weak. Dongdu is not the same Dongdu now. We must be careful here."
Seeing Wang Xuanying, he still seemed unconvinced. Wang Shichong said again: "Don't forget the series of news that came from Dongdu last year. Li Hun is a dignified general. His ancestor was the founder of the Eight Pillar Kingdom. What happened? Your Majesty In a word, the whole Li family was slaughtered. And Li Yuan was the holy cousin. As a result, he lost his son when he was old. He was sent away by the holy man because of an unknown boy. Since ancient times, the holy family has been Sowing something is the most unpredictable thing. As a father, you have reached your current status only by relying on the Holy Family. Therefore, with just a word from the Holy Spirit, everything our father and son have now will soon be wiped out. In terms of status, being a father cannot compare. Li Hun is not as good as Li Yuan in terms of relationships. The only thing he can rely on is the Holy Family. If the Holy Family is gone, you and I, father and son, will have nothing."
When Wang Shichong said it at the end, he also felt a little emotional. Wang Xuanying, who was next to him, also understood his father's thoughts. Then he nodded and admitted his mistake: "Dad, it's the child, isn't it? The child is wrong."
Seeing that Wang Xuanying was willing to admit his mistake, Wang Shichong also showed a pleased expression. He turned around and patted Wang Xuanying on the shoulder. He said: "You can correct your mistakes if you know them. There is no great improvement. It doesn't matter. Although you left a bad impression on the princess this time. But In this royal marriage, the real decision is made by the Holy One. As long as you behave better in front of the Holy One and the Holy One is willing to nod, then everything will be fine. In a few days, I will take you to see the Holy One. Before that, you must Be prepared. When the time comes, behave well in front of the Holy One. As a father, I will also try to get the Holy One to personally agree to your marriage to the princess."
"Yes. My child obeys." Wang Xuanying immediately clasped his fists in front of Wang Shichong and responded. But soon Wang Xuanying seemed to have remembered something. He immediately asked: "By the way, dad, that Zhu Muwu dared to betray us. We must definitely We can’t let him go.”
"Yeah. I know this too." Wang Shichong frowned when he saw Wang Xuanying mentioning Xiao Wu. There was also a trace of regret on his face. He said: "This Zhu Muwu can indeed be considered a talent. It's a pity that he can't. For my use. But what makes me feel strange is that Zhu Muwu suddenly rebelled at that time. Could it be because of the young man you mentioned? Well, I have ordered Song Qian to check the identity of that young man. I believe we will know the reason soon.”
"Sir, Shopkeeper Song is back." Wang Shichong was saying. The sergeant's voice came from outside the room. Wang Shichong immediately nodded and said, "Okay. Let him come in."
Not long after Wang Shichong and his son sat back down in their seats, they saw a middle-aged man whose whole body turned into a round ball. He walked in quickly with small steps. It was hard to imagine that with such a fat body, he could walk so easily. So fast. When he arrived in front of Wang Shichong and Wang Xuanying, the middle-aged man clasped his hands in front of his chest. But it was because there was too much fat on his chest. He almost couldn't close them. He could only hear the middle-aged man The man saluted Wang Shichong and his son and said, "Song Qian, the little man, has met your lord, Young Master."
This Song Qian's public identity is that he is a small businessman in Luoyang City. He runs several inns in Luoyang. Although he is not as powerful as Wanjia, among the merchants in Luoyang City, he is... He was also ranked high. But such a character had another identity. That was a spy that Wang Shichong had placed in Luoyang ten years ago. At that time, Wang Shichong was still working in Luoyang City, so no one would guess that Wang Shichong was still there. Spies will be placed in Luoyang, so no one will associate Song Qian with Wang Shichong. But in fact, it is precisely because of Song Qian that although Wang Shichong is in Jiangdu, he can promptly understand what is happening in Luoyang City. The ground knows.
Seeing Song Qian coming, Wang Shichong's expression softened a lot. He stretched out his hand to support him slightly and said with a smile: "Song Qian, there are no outsiders here. You don't have to be polite. Just tell me. I can find out the identity of that young man." .”
"Thank you, Sir." Although Song Qian's tone was serious, his face maintained a cheerful smile from beginning to end. After saluting Wang Shichong, he replied: "Sir. People have found out the identity of the young man who had a conflict with the young master. The identity of this person is not simple. He made extraordinary achievements in the battle of Liaodong last year. He was accepted as a disciple by the emperor and was later named Yangcheng. Hou’s Wanhe.”
"What? It's him." Wang Shichong was shocked. Although there was no change on his face, his eyes opened slightly, revealing two cold lights. This result was far beyond Wang Shichong's expectation. Wang Shichong originally wanted to He was trying to win over this upstart in the court. But he didn’t expect that his son would almost fight with him just after he returned to Dongdu. He suppressed the surprise in his heart for the time being. Wang Shichong asked again: "Then Why did Zhu Muwu suddenly take action at that time? Could it be that Zhu Muwu had something to do with this Wan He?"
"Speak to the adults." Song Qian was obviously well prepared. As soon as Wang Shichong finished asking the question, he immediately replied: "Zhu Muwu was originally a servant of the Wan family. He was the personal servant who served Wan He when he grew up. Before, Zhu Muwu He will suddenly take action against the young master. I’m afraid it’s also to protect Wan He.”
"Oh." Wang Shichong's eyes narrowed. He stroked his beard thoughtfully and said to himself: "Zhu Muwu actually has such a relationship with Wan He. It seems that Wan He must also be related to Li Jing. It does matter. Well, this is a coincidence. It seems that the Marquis of Yangcheng is not a fuel-efficient person. How should I deal with it?"
Wang Shichong just lowered his head and meditated there. He didn't speak. Naturally, Wang Xuanying and Song Qian didn't dare to say anything. They just kept waiting by the side. After a long time, Wang Shichong slowly raised his head and asked Song Qian: "Song Qian, how much do you know about this Wan He."
Although Song Qian always told Wang Shichong what happened in Luoyang, it was a secret letter after all. It was impossible to go into detail. Therefore, Wang Shichong didn't know much about Wan He's identity. He could hear his master asking questions. Song Qian He immediately told Wan He's background and the process of his rise to fame. Of course there were some secrets, such as how Wan He got in touch with the King of Yue Yang Tong. Song Qian didn't understand either, but he told the truth. Listen. After finishing Song Qian's narration, Wang Shichong fell into silence again. On the other hand, Wang Xuanying next to him showed disdain on his face. He snorted coldly: "What do you think? He is also a guy who got shit luck. There is nothing to be afraid of. That’s it.”
"Hmph. What did my father just say to you? Have you forgotten?" Seeing Wang Xuanying, he looked proud again. Wang Shichong's face showed an angry look again. He directly scolded Wang Xuanying. Wang Xuanying was so embarrassed by his father. As soon as he scolded him, he subconsciously felt his cheeks burning with pain. He immediately did not dare to say anything more. Wang Shichong snorted, but narrowed his eyes and said: "This Wan He is not a simple character. It looks like tonight. .I am going to visit Wanjia."
