Steel Dynasty - Chapter 100

[Chapter 100 Everyone has their own thoughts]

The Wang family’s residence.

“Bang!” A loud slap sounded in Wang Chengchou’s study.

In the study, Wang Shijie was kneeling on the ground, with bright red fingerprints on his right face.

“Bastard, if it had been anyone else today, you would have died without any body parts. I usually tell you not to indulge in women, but you have completely forgotten about it. With such virtue, how will you achieve great things in the future!”

Wang Chengchou’s chest felt violently. He was heaving, obviously very angry.

Wang Shijie covered his face and said with a cry: “Dad, aren’t I doing this for the Wang family? If the child is lucky enough to become the princess’s guest, won’t our Wang family be able to have a relationship with the princess? How could we still do it at that time? Judging from Xiao Ming’s face, don’t you also suspect that King Qi is determined to get rid of our Qingzhou wealthy family? How long will it take if you don’t find a backer at this time

? Wang Chengchou said angrily.

Wang Shijie was startled and said: “How will you know if you don’t try…”

“Humph, but Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to have a deeper meaning in forgiving you. This time Her Royal Highness the Princess came to Qingzhou must be for the goods in the hands of King Qi, but King Qi must definitely “I won’t agree. It’s impossible for Her Royal Highness to find a local rich man to keep an eye on Qingzhou for her secretly,” Wang Chengchou said.

Wang Shijie suddenly became excited, “Dad, do you mean that Her Highness the Princess has taken a liking to our Wang family?”

“I’m not sure about this, but if it is really a choice, our Wang family is undoubtedly the most suitable, and Princess Pingyang and King Wei have always We are very close. If King Wei needs us in the future, our Wang family can echo King Wei from a distance and restrain King Qi.” Wang Chengchou said.

“Yes. Three years ago, the King of Wei hinted that we should take advantage of the barbarian rebellion to kill Xiao Ming. This shows that the King of Wei had some ideas about the land of Qingzhou. It is a pity that Xiao Ming was as timid as a mouse and ran back to Chang’an City. , otherwise I will take action.” Wang Shijie said with a sinister smile.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Wang Chengchou’s expression changed drastically. He walked out of the door nervously. He looked around and saw no one before returning to the house. “There is no proof whether that person was sent by King Wei. There is no proof. This matter cannot be mentioned again. If there is news In the ears of King Qi, my Wang family has no place to die.”

Wang Shijie came back to his senses, suddenly a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he closed his mouth.

Wang Chengchou sighed, “I hope Princess Pingyang will summon us tonight. With her as a backer, our Wang family is really safe.”

At this time, in the Meihua Villa outside Qingzhou City, Princess Pingyang was instructing Ouyang Mu to invite the Wang family. Father and son.

“Your Highness, why do you invite the Wang family and his son? These two are really vulgar.” Ouyang Mu said disdainfully.

Princess Pingyang combed her hair slowly and said: “What do you know? Can’t you see the changes in Qingzhou along the way? Not to mention the soldiers in armor at the city gate, the people living and working in peace and contentment outside the city are also different from other places. After three or five years, I’m afraid King Wei won’t be able to underestimate him anymore. How could he not bury a chess piece here?”

Ouyang Mu said in confusion: “Why did His Highness choose the Wang family?”

“It’s very simple. Xiao Ming was at that time ?

There seems to be some schadenfreude, and the wealthy families below are the same. It seems that the life of the Wang family must be difficult, and it will be easier for the Wang family to win over

. I don’t know what kind of reward I will give to His Highness for taking so much trouble.”

“I am not doing it for King Wei this time. I, Xiao Ming’s nephew, do have some interest. The more he refuses to let go of this craft, the more interested I will be in letting the Wang family do it. Keep an eye out for us, maybe there will be another opportunity in the future.” The corners of Princess Pingyang’s mouth turned up, Xiao Ming, a senior member, did not satisfy her appetite.

Ouyang Mu nodded. The Wang family had many farms outside the city. He only needed to find these people and let them enter the city to find the Wang family and his son.

After watching Ouyang Mu leave, Princess Pingyang turned and looked at the lotus pond above the blue waves. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the remaining clouds dyed the lake surface red, and the emerald green lotus tips seemed to be smeared with a layer of red rouge.

Being in the political center of Dayu, she is very sensitive to any changes in Dayu. She came to Qingzhou not just for Xiao Ming’s craftsmanship.

At the same time, she also came with the purpose of exploring the truth. What she saw now was enough to give her a new evaluation of Xiao Ming.

It can also measure Xiao Ming’s future potential and how much role he can play in the battle for the throne.

She knows that everything she has comes from Xiao Wenxuan, and once the throne changes, everything she has will go with the wind, so she cannot stay out of the battle between the princes, because if she is on the wrong team, she will face a very miserable second half of her life. .

After all, no amount of wealth can be worth a word from the king.

It is precisely because of this that she has been dealing with the princes, and now she has chosen one of them after weighing them up. Planting a nail in Xiao Ming’s fief is also part of the plan.

“Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, don’t blame your aunt for being cruel. If you want to blame it, blame it on you for not having a good mother-in-law.” Princess Pingyang said to herself. In her eyes, Xiao Ming’s fate was destined to be the same as Prince Ning’s back then. , fell victim to the princely struggle.

While she was meditating, there was a “whoosh” sound, and then she felt a cold wind blowing past her ears, and a sharp arrow was nailed to the pillar of her room. “

This villa was built near the water, and her room was by the water. She looked up and looked in the direction of the arrow, and saw only a dozen men in black emerging from the water, holding crossbow arrows in the water.

“Assassin! “Princess Pingyang was so frightened that her face turned pale.

She had never seen such a frightening scene before, and she screamed hoarse.

At this time, the golden warrior also discovered the man in black in the water, and immediately dozens of archers rushed over and shot arrows into the water.

Black Seeing the golden warriors surrounding them, the men in clothes fired another wave of crossbow arrows and quickly disappeared into the water.

Then they saw more than a dozen hollow reed tubes sticking out of the water. These assassins actually used these to breathe and dive in. Come in.

No wonder they didn’t notice.

“Chase!” One of the golden warriors shouted, leading his men to chase him.

The remaining golden warriors quickly protected Princess Pingyang in the middle.

Wang Xuan retreated in one strike, which was part of the plan. When he saw the golden armor chasing him, he led his men towards Qingzhou City.

Outside the city, Lu Fei is waiting with his troops. Lu Fei will catch them at that time.

After swimming to the river bank, Wang Xuan quickly ran towards Qingzhou City, and the golden warriors chased after him.

Seeing that Qingzhou City could be seen in the distance, the golden warriors saw a group of cavalry coming towards them, led by a burly general. When the general saw them, he asked: “Isn’t this the escort of Her Royal Highness? Why are you here?” ”
