"Second Brother, you might not know this, but King Qi is also one of us," Li Qingluo whispered.
In the distance, Song Qingshu couldn't help but be surprised. Was she going to announce their relationship to her family? But her husband was Wang Ziteng's cousin. If she announced their relationship, it would bring shame to the Wang family. Wouldn't it backfire?
"One of us?" Wang Ziteng clearly didn't understand.
Li Qingluo hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Actually, Yuyan and he are in love with each other and have already pledged to marry each other."
"What?!" Wang Ziteng was shocked. Wang Yuyan was the di daughter of the third branch. Her beauty was so beautiful that it would put the moon to shame, and her personality had always been gentle. After what had happened to Shen Bijun, the Wang Family had even tried to find a chance to match her with the Crown Prince and make her the new Crown Princess. Now that they suddenly found out that she had already decided to marry another man, how could they not be shocked?
He wasn't the only one who was shocked. Even Song QingShu was shocked. When did he and Wang Yuyan decide to marry each other? Although Wang Yuyan was as beautiful as a fairy, pure and gentle, knowledgeable and knowledgeable … the two of them were friends, and he had a good impression of her. But wasn't this still far from being pledged to marry each other?
Dongfang Muxue looked at him teasingly. "Do all the beautiful girls in the world have that kind of relationship with you?"
Song Qingshu blushed and replied using Secret Voice Transmission, "Don't talk nonsense. She must be using this as an excuse to bury the hatchet."
Dongfang Muxue snorted. "Why go through so much trouble? With Wang Ziteng's thousands of men, it won't be difficult for us to deal with them if we work together."
"Let's not talk about the fact that weapons have no eyes and that the WuTang people will inevitably suffer losses. Wang Ziteng is the current head of the Wang family. If we can obtain his support, it will be much easier for us to control the imperial court in the future," Song Qingshu replied.
Dongfang Muxue knew that he had a point and didn't refute. "It seems that you plan to move from behind the scenes to the front?"
Song Qingshu nodded. "Although it's easy to disguise, I'm still hiding in the shadows. I can't live as someone else for the rest of my life."
In the past, he had also been troubled by this problem. It was not until he became closer to Zhao Min in the Liao Kingdom that Zhao Min learned about his situation. She talked to him a lot and provided him with a lot of advice, especially the history of Yang Jian and the process of Zhao Kuangyin's rise, which touched him a lot. Therefore, this time he had the opportunity, he did not continue his previous disguise. Instead, he planned to walk step by step in front of the stage with his real identity.
On the other side, Li Qingluo struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade, "Second Brother, Jia Shidao is doomed. Instead of holding on to his ship that is destined to remain silent, why don't we form an alliance with King Qi? With Yu Yan's help, we can rest assured about the future."
Seeing that Wang Ziteng was still a little hesitant, Li Qingluo finally used her trump card. "Second Brother, do you know why the two Great Grandmasters by the Emperor's side were heavily injured?"
"Why?" Wang Ziteng was curious. In his opinion, the emperor had imperial weapons, many masters, and masters like Huang Chang and Doujiu Monk. How did he end up like this?
Li Qingluo sighed. "Because my uncle also joined the Mansion of Spirits. He is the one with the code name General. He also participated in this rebellion …"
"What?" As the commander of the Front Palace Guard, Wang Ziteng naturally knew about the Mansion of Spirits. The Imperial City Guards had been investigating this rebel organization, but they had not been able to find much useful information. They did not expect Wang Chongyang to be the core of this organization.
Other than Banshan Duke, Wang Chongyang had played a crucial role in the Wang Clan's current success. To a certain extent, he could even represent the Wang Clan. If Li Qingluo was the only one who participated in the rebellion, they could claim that it was her own action, and the Wang family could get away with it. But now, even Wang Chongyang was involved in the rebellion. The Wang family couldn't get away with it.
Song Qingshu saw that the time was right. He stepped forward and said, "Commander, Yu Yan and I are in love with each other. In the future, we will be one family with the Wang family."
Previously, Li Qingluo and Wang Ziteng had been conversing in low voices. Other than the two Great Grandmasters, no one else could hear the content of their conversation. Now that Song Qingshu mentioned this relationship, everyone was shocked.
Li Qingluo glared at him. She had said that to win over Wang Ziteng. In any case, they were all members of the Wang family. In the future, she could just find a reason to get away with it, and Yu Yan's reputation would be preserved. But now that Song Qingshu had said it publicly, the nature of the matter was different. There were so many people present. If word got out, how could Yu Yan's reputation be preserved?
He was really the most despicable bastard in the world!
Li Qingluo suspected that he was trying to take advantage of her daughter on purpose. She was so angry that she was about to explode. But now she had to consider the big picture, so she didn't lose her temper. She would deal with him later.
Ignoring her murderous eyes, Song Qingshu continued to persuade Wang Ziteng, "I know what you are hesitating about, Commander. Your sister and nephew have both married into the Jia family, and you are worried that they will be affected this time. I can promise you here that after we leave the mountain, we will not publicize Jia Shidao's participation in the rebellion. We will still keep the title of nobility of the Jia family. In this way, you won't have to worry that the Wang family will be affected by the Jia family. Also, the happiness of your sister and niece will be guaranteed for the rest of their lives."
Wang Ziteng was surprised. "Really?"
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Of course."
"But …" Wang Ziteng glanced at Zhao Gou, who was not far away. "The emperor will never agree."
Song Qingshu said calmly, "Now, these things are not up to him."
Wang Ziteng's expression changed slightly. Obviously, he understood what he meant.
Song Qingshu sighed. "Among the Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue families, the Wang family can only be ranked third. Has Commander never thought about becoming the first family? During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people said that 'the king and his horse share the world.' Why don't we recreate this legend? "
Wang Ziteng's expression changed. As if he had made up his mind, a smile finally appeared on his face. "No, it should be called 'the king and the song, share the world!'"
Actually, after knowing that Wang Chongyang had participated in the rebellion, he was destined not to stay in Zhao Gou's camp anymore. Later on, he was only thinking about how to preserve the glory and interests of the Wang family. At this time, with Li Qingluo acting as the middleman and his relationship with Wang Yuyan, coupled with the bargaining chips that she had put into his heart, he finally made up his mind.
"You're right, Uncle." Song Qingshu laughed heartily and held his hand tightly.
"Uncle?" Wang Ziteng was taken aback for a moment, but he soon realized that the other party was referring to him because of how Wang Yuyan had addressed him. He was extremely pleased to have such a renowned figure greet him as a junior, and he returned the other party's hand with a hearty laugh.
Li Qingluo's eyes were about to spit fire. She thought, I call Wang Ziteng second brother, but you call me uncle. What should you call me then? Unfortunately, she couldn't vent her anger in front of so many people, so she felt even more depressed.
Song Qingshu and Wang Ziteng reached a preliminary agreement. Next, they discussed the details of the cooperation. Zhao Gou was placed under house arrest by Song Qingshu's people. Wang Ziteng's pupils shrank, but there were too many masters on their side. He wasn't sure that he could take Zhao Gou back, so he could only acquiesce.
The next step was to find someone to take responsibility for this. Since they wanted to preserve Jia Shidao's reputation, it was obvious that Prince Yi was the best candidate to take the blame. His subordinates were all dead, and he himself was seriously injured and unconscious. There was no way he could protest against his impending fate.
To prevent any more trouble, Wang Ziteng chopped off Prince Yi's head. That way, there would be no more evidence. The whole process made Song Qingshu's eyelids twitch. He thought that these people from century-old families usually acted like gentlemen, but when it came to the interests of their families, they were more ruthless than anyone else.
After that, Wang Ziteng also wanted to kill the only survivor who was carrying the imperial equipment, Ding Dian. However, he was stopped by Song QingShu. What kind of joke was this? Ding Dian was his friend. How could he let him die without knowing why?
Although Wang Ziteng was a little worried, his attention quickly shifted to something more important — the Lv brothers, who had a lot of troops!
