After Jiang Wang caught Zheng Shangming who was following him, he didn't think that he had handled the matter perfectly. Instead, he communicated with Zhong Xuan Sheng as soon as he returned home.
Chung Geng Sheng saw through Wen Lianmu's plan on the spot and rushed to the northern yamen to explain the situation. That was why Zheng Shi intervened in time.
Zheng Shi didn't even have time to change out of his official robes. He rushed to the Grand Marshal's Office personally and brought Zheng Shangming back unharmed.
Wang Yiwu made an enemy of the northern yamen's Commandant for nothing, but he didn't achieve his goal. It could be said that he went for wool and came home shorn.
Zheng Shi brought Zheng Shangming back to the Patrol Office in the northern part of the city. He didn't let his son go home first because he wanted him to thank Chung Geng Sheng and make friends with him.
After this incident, he was naturally dissatisfied with Wang Yiwu. However, it didn't seem like he was going to confront the Grand Marshal's Office directly. After all, Zheng Shangming came back unharmed. Wang Yiwu's backer, Jiang Mengxiong, was the God of War in Qi.
He had his own difficulties as the Commandant of the northern yamen. Therefore, his attitude towards Chung Geng Sheng was somewhat contradictory. On one hand, he wanted to thank him. On the other hand, he was the Commandant of the northern yamen. Would he really participate in the battle between Chung Geng Sheng and Wang Yiwu?
Zheng Shangming, who was of the same generation as them, was undoubtedly a good buffer. No matter what Zheng Shangming did, as his father, he had the ability to cover for him.
After making a thorough plan, he returned to the Patrol Office. However, the patrol soldier informed Zheng Shi that Chung Geng Sheng left right after him and didn't wait for him to claim credit.
"What did he say before he left?" Zheng Shi asked.
The patrol soldier replied, "Young Master Sheng said that it was a small matter and that there was no need to worry about it! He also said that he didn't do it to help others, but to help himself. "
These words were very clear.
Zheng Shi pondered for a while and looked at his son. He didn't say anything.
…
The Grand Marshal's residence.
In the face of Wang Yiwu's question, how did Zheng Shi arrive in time to stop them from using Zheng Shangming as a bargaining chip and borrowing the power of the Northern Government?
Wen Lianmu could only reply with a bitter smile, "I think Chung Geng Sheng must still be in Beiya."
Wang Yiwu understood the meaning of this bitter smile.
Chung Geng Sheng's sense for conspiracies was too sharp! He was simply too slippery, and it was difficult for any schemes to touch him.
It was obvious that he knew Zheng Shangming as well as Wen Lianmu. Only then would he be able to see through his plans in time.
If he was in her shoes, he knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to react so quickly.
He didn't think that it was Jiang Wang who had thought of this because if Jiang Wang had thought of it, he wouldn't have let Zheng Shangming go, and wouldn't have given Zheng Shangming the chance to walk into the trap of the Grand Marshal's residence.
When Wen Lianmu failed to scheme against Chung Geng Sheng the first time, Wen Lianmu deliberately mocked him. It was because he had a lot of confidence in Wen Lianmu and didn't think that a loss was a big deal.
This time, the loss was more serious, but he didn't complain at all. He only asked, "What other plans do you have?"
Wen Lianmu wiped away his bitter smile. There was no sadness in his eyes. Instead, he was full of energy. He really liked the feeling of competing with others.
It filled him with passion.
"You've offended so many people!"
Wang Yiwu didn't even bat an eyelid, "So what if I offended them? They're no big deal."
It was the same for both Bao Zhongqing and Zheng Shi. The former was far from being his opponent, and the latter would be surpassed by him sooner or later.
Wen Lianmu snorted, "Fishing won't work anymore. He always eats the bait, but doesn't bite the hook. If we want to catch this fat fish, we might as well dig the dam, release the water, and dry the pond! "
"Conspiracies are useless. We'll use an overt scheme!"
"How do we dig the dam, release the water, and dry the pond?" Wang Yiwu asked.
"During this period of time, we've researched Chung Geng Sheng. We know that the person he trusts the most is his bodyguard, Fourteen. The other is Jiang Wang, who is said to be from the Zhuang State in the Western Region. He can be said to be his right-hand man. "
With all the information in his mind, Wen Lianmu didn't need to think carefully. He directly said, "I found a very interesting detail. When Jiang Wang participated in the Tian Fu Secret Territory, his hair was white, but now it's back to black. Connecting this to the time when Chung Geng Sheng fought for the Longevity Fruit, it's easy to conclude that Jiang Wang, for some reason, lost some of his lifespan! "
Wang Yiwu studied under the War God Jiang Mengxiong, so he naturally knew the negative effects of losing one's lifespan on one's cultivation. "Then it's not easy for him to have his current strength. It's clear that he's diligent."
For Wang Yiwu, this was a rare evaluation.
Of course, Jiang Wang might not need it.
"And I also found out that Chung Geng Sheng has begun to collect treasures that can increase one's lifespan. Chongxuan and Chu Liang don't need them, and Marquis Bowang doesn't need them. Then there's only one possibility. He's preparing them for Jiang Wang. It's very likely that Jiang Wang's lifespan hasn't been replenished yet. "
Wang Yiwu asked, "Is there anything we can use?"
"The Great Lake Region's Seven Star Tower is about to open." Wen Lianmu said.
"It doesn't mean anything to me." Wang Yiwu paused and asked, "Do you want to go?"
If Wen Lianmu really wanted to go to the Seven Star Tower, then he could only put this matter aside and focus on defense.
At this point, no matter how arrogant he was, he didn't think that he could beat Chung Geng Sheng without using force. But Linzi wasn't a military camp or a battlefield. It wasn't a simple city either. He was like a dragon tied up in a cage, and everything was awkward.
Wen Lianmu shook his head and said, "There are treasures that can increase one's lifespan."
Wang Yiwu frowned and said, "I haven't heard of this."
"You'll hear about it soon." Wen Lianmu smiled and added, "Chung Geng Sheng too."
Wang Yiwu understood that Wen Lianmu wanted to get rid of Jiang Wang and directly cut off Chung Geng Sheng's right-hand man, leaving Chung Geng Sheng all alone.
This news might not be true, but Wen Lianmu could definitely make it believable.
Seeing that Wang Yiwu understood, Wen Lianmu said, "Only you and Chung Geng Sheng can know this news. Jiang Wang can't rely on himself to know."
"You've reached an agreement with the Tian Clan?"
It was impossible to control the news about the Seven Star Tower to such an extent without the support of the Tian Clan.
"He's not giving me face, he's giving you face, Wang Yiwu." Wen Lianmu said.
But he didn't say who "he" was.
Wang Yiwu only asked, "If Chung Geng Sheng knows the news, in order to keep Jiang Wang in Linzi to help him, you've already thought of a way to let Jiang Wang know without leaving a trace, right?"
Wen Lianmu didn't deny it. "It's about his own cultivation path, so it's impossible for him to not have any grudges. It's better to let them have a grudge against each other than directly sending him away. Of course, if Chung Geng Sheng tells the truth and Jiang Wang goes to Daze County, it's also the result we want. "
…
Mount Xia Villa.
Because Jiang Wang wasn't willing to go out to play with him, Xu Xiangqian went to the Marquis Mansion after pestering him for a while, saying that he was looking for Li Longchuan.
Of course, it wasn't necessarily because he didn't want to get involved in the competition between Chung Geng Sheng and Jung Genzun. After all, he had just arrived at the Mount Xia Villa when he saw Chung Geng Sheng making a big fuss.
If something were to really happen, should he help or not? The best thing to do was to leave.
Chung Geng Sheng said that he would be back soon, so he didn't waste too much time. But when he came back, Xu Xiangqian had already left.
He didn't think much of it. He just picked out Zheng Shi's reaction and told Jiang Wang about it.
At this time, Jiang Wang came to his senses and realized that there were so many schemes behind such a simple stalking.
"Are you going to deal with every move like this?" Jiang Wang said with some lingering fear, "People like you have too many twists and turns in your minds. I can't guarantee that I won't be fooled every time."
"Of course I'm ready to take action …" Chung Geng Sheng said. He came to his senses and raised his voice. "What kind of people are we?"
