"Disappointing thing!"
Seeing Yao Feng's expression, Yao Guang Yi couldn't help but curse. This child might be talented, but in terms of scheming and scheming, he was still far from the Yao Clan.
Putting aside the old man above him, he probably didn't even have a tenth of what he had. This was also the reason why Yao Guang Yi didn't hand over the authority of the clan to him.
"Haven't you heard of the saying 'trying to cover up only makes things worse'?"
"Ah!"
Kneeling on the floor, Yao Feng seemed to have thought of something. His body trembled and a look of realization appeared on his face.
Only then did Yao Guang Yi nod his head in satisfaction.
"Even though many people saw us going against each other on Wang Yan's side, we can still say that we did it on purpose. But we can also say that we did it on purpose. As for the King of Song, we have roped in so many of his subordinates and he is already on high alert. As long as we continue to carry out the original plan, incite and expand the suspicion in his heart, when the time comes, we will give him a fatal blow at the border. At that time, he will still be convinced. "
"Betrayal is one thing, it is human nature to change one's direction. But for someone like the King of Song, if he were to realize that he has been fooled and lied to on purpose, do you know what would happen? "
Yao Guang Yi's voice was sinister and by the end, even Yao Feng felt a chill down his spine.
'Attacking the city is the worst, attacking the heart is the best'. In terms of scheming and human nature, he was still a far cry from his father. In this aspect, Yao Feng could only kneel on the floor and listen.
"Wang Yan has an upright and inflexible personality. This time, when the King of Song summons him, as long as he doesn't respond well or says anything wrong, this matter will be settled without me making a move personally."
Yao Guang Yi's gaze was deep, as though he could see through the Yao Residence and into the distance. But very quickly, he regained his senses and helped Yao Feng up from the floor.
"Get up, you don't have to worry about this matter! — — As your father, I have an even more important task for you to do. "
"What?"
Yao Feng was taken aback. What matter could be more important than the plan between the King of Song, King Qi and his father?
"That pair of siblings from the Wang Clan always makes me feel uneasy. If today's incident was a coincidence, then so be it. It wasn't a big deal. What I'm afraid of is that all of this is not a coincidence. "
Yao Guang Yi frowned deeply, as though he had been struggling for a long time.
"Them?"
Yao Feng cried out involuntarily. He didn't expect that the more important matter his father was referring to was this:
"The two siblings are only in their teens. Do you think they can see through your plan?"
Yao Feng couldn't believe his eyes. He didn't expect that with his father's wisdom and means, he would actually worry about two kids who weren't even fifteen yet.
"They were in their teens, but weren't they knocked unconscious in the Vast Crane Pavilion as well?"
Yao Guang Yi said with a dark expression.
"But this is completely different!"
Yao Feng had to admit that the little girl from the Wang Clan was indeed terrifyingly strong. However, Yao Feng didn't believe that these kids were capable enough to compete with his father, Yao Guang Yi, in terms of intelligence, and see through a situation that even their father, Wang Yan, couldn't see through.
"There's no difference. Just do as I say!"
Yao Guang Yi said coldly.
"Alright!"
Yao Feng wanted to reject the idea, but after pondering for a moment, he suddenly agreed to it.
It was one thing for the eldest and second brother of the Wang Clan to deal with them. He was weaker than them, so it was one thing for him to suffer a loss. But now, even the third and fourth brother were riding on his shoulders.
He had embarrassed himself in front of so many people in the Vast Crane Pavilion. He wouldn't let this matter rest just like that. Even without his father's orders, he would still find a way to deal with the two siblings.
"I hope that I'm thinking too much into this matter!"
Hearing Yao Feng's change of heart, Yao Guang Yi's complexion turned for the better. Even though the matter regarding the Vast Crane Pavilion had failed, there was still the border for him to make a big fuss about.
Even if the two siblings were intelligent, they were the ones who intentionally sabotaged the matter regarding the Vast Crane Pavilion. Yao Guang Yi didn't believe that they would obstruct him at the border soon.
But it was better to be safe than sorry. No matter what, after the matter regarding the Vast Crane Pavilion, he had to be careful:
"Remember this. No matter what, keep a close eye on them. If there's any news, inform me immediately."
"Yes!"
Yao Feng nodded his head.
…
In the massive carriage heading to the The King of Song Residence, Wang Yan sat upright and unmoving like a mountain. However, his mind was in a mess.
All he could think about were the two matters that Wang Chong had mentioned in the Vast Crane Pavilion.
Initially, Wang Yan didn't believe a single one of Wang Chong's words. But the truth was placed before him and he had no choice but to believe it.
He had just met the The King of Song not too long ago and The King of Song had really sent an envoy over. Furthermore, it happened to be at the moment when he walked out of the Vast Crane Pavilion.
— — Everything was as Wang Chong had predicted!
Wang Yan couldn't understand how Wang Chong knew of it. But this wasn't the crux of the matter. What Wang Yan was concerned about was another matter.
"I wonder if the The King of Song is really looking for me regarding Yao Guang Yi?"
Wang Yan thought to himself.
All his life, he was upright and upright. No matter what he did, he had a clear conscience, and there was nothing he couldn't tell others. The meeting with Yao Guang Yi was just an ordinary banquet. During the banquet, they did not talk about anything important.
Given the relationship between the The King of Song Residence and the Wang Clan, Wang Yan didn't think that The King of Song would really look for him over such a matter.
"No matter what, we will know soon enough whether it's true or not."
Wang Yan took in a deep breath, parted the curtains of the carriage and walked down.
Not too far away, there was a massive and majestic palace. The words' The King of Song Residence 'were written in gold on the signboard at the entrance.
Wang Yan followed behind the meticulous old butler, passing through gardens and corridors before entering the main hall of the The King of Song Residence.
The main hall of the The King of Song Residence was empty. When Wang Yan walked in, he saw a massive figure sitting at the top of the silent main hall. He exuded an aura of nobility and elegance. This was the influential figure of the Tang dynasty, The King of Song.
"Subject Wang Yan pays his respects to His Highness, The King of Song!"
Wang Yan walked forward and knelt down on one knee. His loud voice reverberated throughout the main hall.
The main hall was empty. Other than The King of Song, there was no one else.
The King of Song wrapped himself in the darkness above the main hall and didn't move at all. No one knew how long he had been here.
For a long time, Wang Yan didn't hear any response from The King of Song. Lifting his head, he subconsciously took a glance. For some reason, Wang Yan felt that the The King of Song today was different from usual.
"Oh, Wang Yan, you're here."
After an unknown period of time, the The King of Song jolted awake, as though he had just noticed Wang Yan's presence.
Wang Yan frowned unnoticeably. The The King of Song seemed to be troubled today.
"Yes! Your Highness, you were looking for me? "
Wang Yan asked.
The main hall fell into a long silence. Since the The King of Song didn't speak, Wang Yan waited silently. Honestly speaking, he still couldn't understand what kind of important matter it was for the old butler to summon him from the The King of Song.
Furthermore, it was so urgent!
"I heard that … Yao Guang Yi invited you to a meal at the Vast Crane Pavilion?"
The The King of Song hesitated for a long time before speaking. These words seemed to have taken a lot of his strength and his voice was unusually heavy.
"Boom!"
Hearing the words of the The King of Song, Wang Yan's heart couldn't help but ripple.
Yao Guang Yi!
When Wang Chong said it, Wang Yan didn't believe him. However, he didn't expect that the reason why the The King of Song sent the old butler to look for him was really because of Yao Guang Yi!
It was just an ordinary meal between him and Yao Guang Yi, there wasn't anything between them. Furthermore, there was the friendship between the Wang Clan and the Yao Residence. Wang Yan didn't believe that the The King of Song would suspect him over such a matter.
However, the truth was right before him. Wang Chong was right. The The King of Song was really suspicious of him.
Wang Yan's heart was incomparably heavy.
"Yes!"
Wang Yan replied without any hesitation. He had a clear conscience regarding this matter and there was nothing for him to hide.
"Then, what did Yao Guang Yi talk to you about?"
The The King of Song hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask. There seemed to be a peculiar tone in his voice.
Hearing the words of the The King of Song, the ripples in Wang Yan's heart intensified.
The second matter!
This was the second matter that Wang Chong was right about! Wang Yan's heart was filled with complex emotions. In his heart, his third son, Wang Chong, had always been a stubborn and unfilial son. The words of the Vast Crane Pavilion were complete nonsense to Wang Yan.
But now, Wang Yan didn't dare to think so anymore.
"Yao Guang Yi wanted to recruit me, but I rejected him!"
Wang Yan said.
If it was before today, Wang Yan wouldn't have said such words. However, after realizing that the The King of Song was already suspicious of him because of Yao Guang Yi, Wang Yan didn't dare to think so anymore.
"Hu!"
A long sigh of relief could be heard in the hall. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot after Wang Yan's words. It was like a bow that had been pulled to its fullest and was suddenly released from the bowstring.
"I see."
Wang Yan heard the The King of Song's voice coming from the top of the hall. His voice wasn't relaxed at all, as though a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
"Actually, I have already informed Your Highness of this matter."
Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly spoke.
"Oh?"
In the hall, the The King of Song's muscular figure abruptly sat up straight. For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "You informed me of this matter?"
"It wasn't a direct report, but a letter. Logically speaking, this letter should have been sent to the The King of Song residence yesterday. Did Your Highness not see it? "
Wang Yan was even more surprised than the The King of Song. That day during the meal, Wang Chong mentioned that he hoped that he would inform the The King of Song in advance. Even though Wang Yan didn't think that there was a need for it, he still wrote a letter.
However, he didn't expect that the The King of Song didn't receive it at all.
"Manager Zheng, go out and check on it."
The The King of Song frowned. For the first time, he felt that something was amiss.
The old manager, who had a majestic aura and looked unfathomable, left in a hurry. After a short while, he returned and walked briskly to the side of the The King of Song, whispering a few words to him.
Even though Wang Yan couldn't hear what they were saying, he could see that the The King of Song's expression had clearly softened and looked much better. Wang Yan couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had finally listened to Wang Chong's words and written a letter to the The King of Song.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it.
"Indeed, this matter did happen. It's just that I've been too busy recently and forgot to look at it. That's my oversight. "
The The King of Song smiled faintly and said,
"Hehe, let's not talk about this. It's rare for the General to return to the capital. Thinking that it's been a long time since we got together, I specially asked the old manager to pick you up. How is it? Is everything alright in the barracks? "
The The King of Song changed the topic and asked about the barracks. As he spoke, he stood up from his seat and walked down. It was a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion and the air of royalty.
His face was warm and amiable, as though nothing had happened.
"Thanks to Your Highness, everything is fine!"
Wang Yan was a typical soldier. When he heard the The King of Song ask about the border, he naturally told him everything he knew. The atmosphere in the hall instantly became much more intimate.
The The King of Song Residence and the Wang Family had been friends for several generations. When they talked about it to the fullest, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.
