"What? You actually sent Wang Li to burn Yanhuang College's supplies? "
In the Wang Family Ancestral Residence, in a room in the backyard of the second branch, Wang Xinyuan told Wang Kui about the plan to ambush Li Tai's group. Wang Kui listened and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Bastard! Nonsense! Didn't this old man tell you not to act rashly before establishing contact with the Turkic State Preceptor or Xieli Khagan? Moreover, Taiyuan City is currently under martial law, and the city is filled with soldiers and yamen runners. If your actions are caught, you, me, and the second branch of the Wang clan will all be finished! "
"It was your grandson who was rash! Please calm your anger, Grandfather! "
Wang Xinyuan lowered his head and cupped his hands at Wang Kui, looking like a 'good boy' who had done something wrong.
"Hmph! Calm my anger?! How do you expect this old man to calm down? "
Wang Kui slapped the table and pointed at Wang Xinyuan. "This old man gave the second branch's shadow guards to you so that you could lead the second branch back to glory, not to destruction! If the Imperial Army and the Provincial Governor's Residence find you, not just our second branch, but the entire Wang clan will suffer a calamity! "
In order to avoid being overheard, Wang Kui deliberately lowered his voice despite his extreme anger. He had initially adopted Wang Xinyuan's plan and put Wang Xinyuan in charge of this plan only to revive the second branch. He had never thought of destroying the entire Wang clan!
Wang Xinyuan lowered his head and said softly, "Grandfather, rest assured. The Imperial Army only captured Xinglang. The rest of the people who participated in the ambush were all buried in the sea of fire. Xinglang is an assassin that you have painstakingly cultivated over the years. Grandson believes that the Imperial Army will not be able to get anything out of him!"
"Xinglang! You still have the face to mention Xinglang to this old man? Also, how did you know that Xinglang is an assassin that this old man has cultivated ~? "
Wang Kui was completely enraged, but at the same time, he still had a question in his mind. How did Wang Xinyuan know Xinglang's identity and mobilize him?
Wang Xinyuan lowered his head and said nothing.
Whether or not Wang Li was here, he could not possibly reveal Wang Li's identity because he had been trying to win people's hearts recently!
But even if he didn't say it, Wang Kui, who was old and shrewd, could roughly guess.
It was only to see Wang Kui's brows furrow and he said with a livid expression, "It's Wang Li! You actually allowed Wang Li to mobilize the Star Wolf! Haha! Good! Very good! How many days has it been since you were adopted into the second branch? His wings had hardened? How dare you mobilize the assassins that this old man has secretly trained without permission! Then in a few days, will you dare to order Wang Li to kill this old man so that you can take my place? "
At this moment, while Wang Kui was angry and regretful, a sense of crisis finally rose in his heart. This was because Wang Xinyuan could mobilize Wang Li and Star Wolf behind his back today. Who knew if Wang Xinyuan would directly attack him or completely take over his position in the future?
It had to be said that the speed of Wang Xinyuan's infiltration into Wang Kui's forces made Wang Kui feel a little fearful!
Wang Xinyuan raised his head at this time and looked directly at Wang Kui without avoiding. He said with a serious face, "Grandfather, you are my grandfather. I will never do anything to you! Previously, after Wang Li heard the news from the posthouse that Li Tai would personally escort the firepower generator, I felt that it was a good opportunity to break the situation. I also wanted to report to Grandfather first, but the situation was urgent at that time. I had to let Wang Li prepare for the ambush first. Grandson has indeed overstepped his boundaries and acted rashly. Grandfather, please punish me! "
"A good opportunity to break the situation? Hmph! You really broke the situation by making such a fuss. However, you gave Li Tai and the others a chance to break the situation! "
Wang Kui sneered and then said coldly, "I think you are getting bolder and bolder. From today onwards, you have no right to mobilize the secret guards of the second branch. You stay at home and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
Now that things had developed to this point, Wang Kui really didn't dare to let Wang Xinyuan do whatever he wanted. Wang Xinyuan was really too bold. He was simply joking with the lives of everyone in the Wang family!
But now that things had developed to this point, he couldn't do anything to Wang Xinyuan. He couldn't kill him quietly, right? This was the grandson he had just "snatched" from Wang Yu. Even if he regretted it at this time, he could only swallow the bitter fruit!
Therefore, Wang Kui decided to temporarily stop the plan and let Wang Xinyuan calm down to see what would happen next!
"No ~!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Xinyuan's attitude suddenly became tough. He looked at Wang Kui with a firm face and said,
"Grandfather, do you think that if you stop now, you and I can live in peace? It's impossible! There's no turning back. Since the moment we chose to rely on the Turks, there's no turning back!
Especially now that Star Wolf has fallen into the hands of the Imperial Army. Even if he has undergone rigorous training before, he is always a hidden danger to us. As long as he is still alive, we will never be able to sleep and eat in peace!
Only by successfully joining Khan Xieli and becoming his right-hand man can we completely get out of the current predicament! At this time, how can you let your grandson stop? What you're doing is driving the Wang family to a dead end! "
The plan to ambush Li Tai had failed. Although Wang Xinyuan felt regretful, he could also use this to "kidnap" Wang Kui and make the latter stand firmly on the same front as him. Not only did he want to get Wang Kui's full support, but he also wanted all the resources and power of the Wang family's second branch!
Especially those killers that Wang Kui had secretly cultivated over the years!
"You …!"
Wang Kui was so angry that he was about to die. At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to ask a tiger for its skin!
Those who asked a tiger for its skin should be mentally prepared to be bitten by the tiger at any time! Wang Xinyuan, the "tiger", was as docile as a kitten at the beginning, but now, he had finally revealed his sharp fangs, which made Wang Kui somewhat fearful!
Although he was angry, Wang Kui also understood that Wang Xinyuan's words were reasonable. There was no turning back. They had already attached themselves to the Turks through Guardian Zhao. Could they really stop now?
In addition, at this time, he could not completely fall out with Wang Xinyuan, because he could hear a trace of determination in the latter's tone. If he really fell out with Wang Xinyuan, this guy might directly make the matter public and make a life-and-death struggle. At that time, the Wang family's second branch would only die faster!
"Forget it! Forget it! Seeing that you're doing this for the sake of the second branch, this old man will not punish you this time! You don't have to reflect on your mistakes in these few days! "
After pondering for a moment, Wang Kui suppressed the anger in his chest and sighed as if he had accepted his fate. Then he changed the topic and said, "But before you make any decision, you must discuss it with this old man. Don't make any more decisions without my permission. Otherwise, this old man can take back the secret guards in your hands at any time! Do you understand? "
Seeing that Wang Kui had compromised, Wang Xinyuan smiled inwardly. He did not want to push Wang Kui too hard, so he cupped his hands and said, "This grandson understands. Thank you for your forgiveness, grandfather!"
"You … leave!"
Wang Kui waved his hand at Wang Xinyuan rather tiredly. At this time, he had already begun to regret listening to Wang Xinyuan's slanderous words and mistakenly boarding the pirate ship!
…
"Master, this subordinate has something to report!"
Wang Chengwu stood outside the study in the backyard of the Wang family's main house, knocked on the door frame, and spoke respectfully inside.
"Come in!"
Soon, Wang Yu's voice came from inside the room.
"Yes!"
Wang Chengwu did not enter immediately. He first turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he pushed the door open and walked in, then closed the door again.
"Chengwu, what's the matter?"
At this time, Wang Yu was reviewing official documents sent by the local government in Sui Province. Counting the days, he had left Sui Province for nearly half a month, and there was a backlog of government affairs in the local government. Wang Yu looked up at Wang Chengwu and asked faintly. Then, he lowered his head and continued to review official documents.
"Master, this subordinate has just received news that a fire suddenly broke out in the south of the city. Thick smoke billowed. An imperial guard was also at the scene at that time, and they also caught an unidentified man who seems to be an assassin. He has been escorted to the posthouse!"
Wang Chengwu cupped his hands and bowed.
"What? Another assassin? "
Hearing this, Wang Yu's right hand, which was reviewing official documents, could not help but tremble. A slanted red line suddenly appeared on the booklet. Speaking of which, Dugu Xin had just been assassinated in the city this morning, and the security patrols in the city had also been upgraded. How did another assassin pop out now? How could Wang Yu not be shocked and angry?
"Can you confirm that person is an assassin? Also, is King Wei in this imperial guard? Is His Highness injured? "
Wang Yu looked nervously at Wang Chengwu and asked in a deep voice.
"We still can't confirm that person's identity!"
Wang Chengwu shook his head and said, "This subordinate has already sent someone to investigate. However, according to the report of my subordinates, His Highness King Wei was not among them. No one saw His Highness injured either. Please rest assured, Family Head!"
Hearing this, Wang Yu inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Li Tai was fine, everything else could be discussed.
"Also, this subordinate has discovered something else, but I don't know … if I should say it!"
At this time, Wang Chengwu suddenly said hesitantly.
Wang Yu frowned and said, "What is it? Speak quickly! "
Wang Chengwu thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Replying to Master, after the fire broke out in the south of the city, this subordinate saw Wang Li of the second branch return with some people in a hurry. This subordinate feels that they are a little …"
"Hmm?"
Who was Wang Yu? He had been an official for half his life. What had he not seen? Although Wang Chengwu's words were not complete, he understood what Wang Chengwu wanted to say. He put down the red brush in his hand and walked up to Wang Chengwu with a serious expression.
"You mean to say that the fire in the south of the city is very likely related to Wang Li?"
When he said this, even Wang Yu himself felt a little apprehensive. The implications of this matter were too great. If things were not handled properly, the entire Wang clan could be consigned to eternal damnation!
