"Sigh, Lu Ting, you spoiled my plans!"
After So Jung-son left, Wang Chong couldn't help but stomp his feet and sigh. It wasn't easy for him to keep this secret for several months.
Even Shen Hai and Meng Long didn't know the identity of this old man who played chess with them every day even though they had met So Jung-son before.
In the end, Lu Ting's arrival ruined everything.
"Plans? What plans? Wang Chong, tell me, how did you get to know Su gong So Jung-son! Furthermore, you even know how to play chess with him. "
Lu Ting climbed up from the ground and grabbed Wang Chong. His expression was even more agitated than Wang Chong's.
Lu Ting grew up listening to the legends of war god So Jung-son. There was even a portrait of him in Lu Ting's house.
Many people said that Su gong had already passed away. However, Lu Ting didn't expect to see So Jung-son here.
The war god of the Tang dynasty, So Jung-son, was actually still alive. Furthermore, he was so robust and powerful. This was something that Lu Ting didn't expect.
This was a miracle!
Even though So Jung-son didn't even look at him once during the entire process, Lu Ting didn't mind at all. Instead, he felt that it was only natural.
This was the true Su Gong. This was the true War God who looked down on the world with disdain. If Su gong were to greet him warmly and softly, Lu Ting would suspect that he wasn't that Su gong.
However, this Su gong was exactly the person he knew.
Lu Ting was so agitated that he couldn't control himself.
Wang Chong sighed in his heart. Lu Ting was clearly a fan of So Jung-son. His plan was ruined by Lu Ting and there was nothing he could do about it.
"So, you were already here a few months ago!"
After the two of them calmed down, Lu Ting roughly understood the situation from Wang Chong.
"En. If not for you, I might have been here for a few more months. "
Wang Chong said. Lu Ting's appearance was truly unexpected.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here to see Su gong."
Lu Ting said apologetically.
So Jung-son of the Great War God Su Gong had closed his door and refused to meet any guests for several decades. Strangers were not allowed to come near him and he had never received anyone. This was a well-known fact.
Back then, before the rumor of Su Gong's passing had spread like wildfire, even the princes and grandsons didn't have the chance to enter the Su Residence, let alone others.
Wang Chong was favored by Su Gong So Jung-son and played chess with him here every day. If this was known to others, it would probably shock a lot of people. Even a fool would know that this was a great opportunity.
However, it seemed like his unintentional arrival had ruined this opportunity and made things worse for him.
Lu Ting was also filled with guilt.
"Sigh, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me, how did you know I was here? "
Wang Chong asked.
Lu Ting did not hide anything and told him everything that had happened from beginning to end. It turned out that this was the first day Wang Chong was released from prison. The King of Song thought that Wang Chong must miss his family after being locked up in the imperial prison for a long time. Therefore, he planned to let Wang Chong reunite with his family first before paying a visit.
In addition, The King of Song had just been reinstated and had to think of a way to deal with the troubles King Qi had dealt with in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice. Therefore, when Wang Chong was released from prison, The King of Song didn't go to visit him.
Later, when he felt that it was about time, he went to the Wang Residence to visit Wang Chong. He didn't expect to hear that Wang Chong wasn't around and that even the Wang Clan didn't know where he had gone.
The King of Song didn't think much of it. He thought that Wang Chong would be back by nightfall. However, he didn't expect that Wang Chong still hadn't returned even though it was late at night and the stars were rising. He then asked Lu Ting to look for him.
After hearing this, Wang Chong knew that it wasn't Lu Ting's fault. He had been locked up for three months. Today, when he met So Jung-son, he was in the mood to play a little longer. He didn't expect that it would attract Lu Ting's attention.
Speaking of which, he couldn't be blamed for this. Perhaps, as So Jung-son said, this was heaven's will. The fate between the two had come to an end. After playing chess for several months, it was destined to end today.
"Lu Ting, how did you know that I was in the Ghost Tree District?"
Wang Chong suddenly asked with a frown.
"Hehe, isn't that easy? I've asked hundreds of hooligans in the capital to help me look for him. How could I not find him? "
Lu Ting said with a smile. However, as he spoke, he suddenly realized something and his expression changed.
"You've finally realized it. The reason why Su gong kept a low profile for so many years was that he didn't want others to know about him. You found so many hoodlums this time. I'm afraid that the news that Su gong is still alive will spread like wildfire tomorrow. Who knows how many people will go to the Su Residence? "
Wang Chong said calmly.
Lu Ting glanced at the silhouettes around him and his face immediately turned ashen. Su gong was much older than him, so he was filled with respect for him.
Not just him, even his father, as well as those of his generation, as long as they had experienced and knew of Su gong's deeds, Su gong held an extraordinary weight in their hearts. He was a meritorious official of Taizong's era, a god-like existence in the entire Central Plains' Tang dynasty.
They couldn't even wait to respect and protect him, so how could they be willing to disturb his peace and disturb his peace?
"Wait a moment!"
In the darkness, Lu Ting's expression was grave. He suddenly turned around and walked toward those hoodlums. Wang Chong already knew what he wanted to do, so he didn't stop him.
This was an unavoidable result, and it couldn't be changed no matter what.
As expected, after a while, Lu Ting came over with an ashen face and boarded the carriage with Wang Chong. The two of them tacitly didn't mention So Jung-son.
"Hahaha, Wang Chong, welcome back!"
Wang Chong met The King of Song in the Wang Clan. The latter seemed to have been sitting there for a while. Upon seeing Wang Chong, he opened his arms and gave Wang Chong a big hug.
The King of Song's admiration and favor for Wang Chong came from the bottom of his heart. Feeling The King of Song's enthusiasm, Wang Chong's mood also improved.
"Your Highness, congratulations on returning to your post and returning to the royal court!"
Wang Chong smiled and cupped his hands.
At the level of The King of Song, there was no way for him to advance any further. Prince Consort was the highest title, and any higher would be equivalent to rebellion.
Thus, returning to his original post was truly the best reward. It was comparable to being conferred the title of Marquis or Prime Minister.
"Hahaha, if not for you, how would I have the chance to return to the royal court? Not to mention returning to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War. "
The King of Song looked at Wang Chong with a strange look in his eyes. He didn't hide his admiration and favor at all. If Wang Chong hadn't reminded him in time and discovered the strangeness of the Consort Tai Zhen incident, he and all the other officials in the royal court would have been demoted and exiled.
Although Wang Chong was only 15 years old, he was the real hero who helped him return to his original post and escape the disaster. For the real hero, Wang Chong was not stingy with his rewards.
"Wang Chong, you've helped me so much. Tell me, what reward do you want? No matter what it is, I'll agree to it. "
The King of Song said generously. Obviously, he was very happy.
"Wang Chong doesn't want anything. Thank you, Your Highness."
Wang Chong shook his head and said. It wasn't his style to ask for rewards based on one's achievements.
"Hahaha, you don't want it, but I insist on giving it to you. Someone, help me bring that 'White-hoofed Shadow' over. "
The King of Song suddenly shouted outside.
"White-hoofed Shadow?"
Before Wang Chong could react, he heard the faint neighing of Neigh's horse coming from the direction of the stable in the courtyard outside. The sound was clear and childish, with a hint of metal to it. It was completely different from ordinary horses.
"A foal!"
Wang Chong was both surprised and delighted. He suddenly understood what the King of Song wanted to give him. It should be a foal. And when a foal grew up, it would be a warhorse.
On the battlefield, a good warhorse wouldn't be inferior to a WuZi Steel sword.
"Neigh!"
A short while later, a cloud of dust rose outside the courtyard. Amidst the cloud of dust, a green-colored colt with glossy, glossy fur immediately galloped over, its mane fluttering in the wind.
As it galloped, its four hooves were particularly eye-catching. They were actually white. This made it look like it was floating in the air, giving it an indescribable sense of intelligence.
Wang Chong almost immediately took a liking to this foal.
The foal stopped in the courtyard. A stableman with a hood over his head and a jet-black body was leading it, leaving only his eyes visible.
"This is an imperial horse of the palace. It has the bloodline of the Great Snow Colt from the Great Snow Mountain Temple and the White-hoofed Shadow of the Central Plains. The experts of the royal family have been carefully raising it. Their numbers are very few, and they've spent a lot of effort to raise one.
"These imperial horses are different from other horses. They're intelligent. If anyone feeds them for a month, they'll recognize that person as their master. They'll be loyal and loyal, and they'll never change. Thus, when the stableman feeds them, he must wear a hood over his entire body and wrap it tightly. He mustn't let the foal see anything. "
The King of Song explained.
"When the White-hoofed Shadow grows up, it'll have unparalleled strength. When it gallops, it'll be as fast as lightning. However, this isn't an ordinary White-hoofed Shadow. Men! "
The King of Song beckoned outside.
Soon, two guards from The King of Song's residence carried a huge metal basin over. The metal basin was filled with water, and it was more than a foot deep.
It was clear that these things had been prepared beforehand.
The stableman led the foal into the huge basin. The next moment, to Wang Chong's astonishment, the foal didn't sink into the water. Instead, it floated on the surface like a goose feather.
Water ripples automatically spread out from beneath its feet, making the colt look even more spirited and spirited.
"How is this possible?!"
Wang Chong was dumbfounded.
Similarly, the surrounding Wang Clan members were also dumbfounded. The weight of this foal was definitely not low, but when it stepped on the water, it was as light as a feather. It didn't sink at all.
This was simply inconceivable.
"This is the White-hoofed Shadow raised by the palace. It treads on water and crosses rivers. The experts in the palace have done a great deal of hybridization and improvement on them. Perhaps you'll discover even more things in the future. How about it? Do you like this gift? "
The King of Song shook his sleeves as he said proudly.
"I like it, I like it!"
Wang Chong hurriedly nodded. What a joke. There was no way he would refuse such a high-quality horse! There weren't many such good horses in the world.
In his previous life, by the time he became the Grand Marshal of the world, these spirited horses would have long been dead, injured, or exhausted in the years of war.
Thus, even though he was the Grand Marshal of the world, Wang Chong had no fate with these top-notch spirit horses.
