"Thank you, gongzi!"
On the main peak of the Kunwu Training Camp, Wang Chong was currently practicing his martial arts in a training room when a figure suddenly walked in. Putong, the figure kneeled on the floor and bowed respectfully.
"Sun Zhiming?"
Wang Chong turned around and stared at the kneeling youth with a hint of shock in his eyes. But soon, Wang Chong smiled.
"Get up, there's no need to stand on ceremony."
"Gongzi, thank you. Thank you for your help."
Sun Zhiming knelt on the floor in gratitude. After reading Deng Mingxin's letter, he had immediately rushed to Wang Chong's side.
The Deng Clan was too powerful for any ordinary person to oppose. If not for Wang Chong's help, the entire Sun Clan would have been implicated by him.
"Hehe, it's just a small matter. I've promised you, so I'll definitely do it."
Wang Chong said.
Deng Mingxin's matter was indeed a small matter to him. Given the Wang Clan's strength, dealing with an assistant minister of the Bureau of Personnel was a walk in the park. All Wang Chong had to do was write a letter.
On the other hand, Sun Zhiming's sincerity had left him deeply moved.
"Even though it's a small matter to gongzi, it's a huge matter to Sun Zhiming. I, Sun Zhiming, will remember this favor. "
Sun Zhiming straightened his back and looked at Wang Chong.
Deng Mingxin was a jealous person, and the Deng Clan had a strong desire for control. If not for Wang Chong, Sun Zhiming would have been trapped in the cage the Deng Clan had set for him.
Incidents like Deng Mingxin sacrificing himself so that Sun Zhiming could enter the training camp would continue. More importantly, even though Sun Zhiming had done so much, Deng Mingxin and the Deng Clan would still use the Sun Clan to threaten him.
This was the reason why Sun Zhiming wasn't willing to submit to Deng Mingxin.
Sun Zhiming was grateful to Deng Mingxin for helping him escape from the cage he had been trapped in. Without a doubt, if it wasn't for Wang Chong, he would have taken a completely different path.
Sun Zhiming wasn't someone who didn't know how to repay kindness, so he was extremely grateful to Wang Chong.
"Hehe, since you're here, that's fine too."
Wang Chong didn't dwell on this matter with Sun Zhiming. Reaching into his robe, Wang Chong took out a stack of papers.
"Previously, I promised to give you a copy of the Panther Bone cultivation chant. This will benefit you greatly in the future. "
"Panther Bone!"
Sun Zhiming's heart jolted, and he abruptly raised his head.
'Root bone' determined one's future achievements, and Sun Zhiming was well aware that his root bone wasn't too good.
Therefore, even if he was proud of his talent, without a good foundation, he would only be a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water. He would not be able to achieve much in the future.
Thus, what Sun Zhiming wanted the most upon entering the training camp was the root bone cultivation chant.
It was just that Sun Zhiming didn't expect Wang Chong to give him such a precious root bone cultivation technique that only nobles and nobles would possess so easily.
"Thank you, gongzi!"
Even someone as calm as Sun Zhiming couldn't help but feel agitated.
"This is only the first version. When you successfully cultivate the Panther Bone, I'll give you an even more profound version of the Tiger Bone cultivation technique. Sun Zhiming, you're talented, so don't waste it. "
Wang Chong said.
Hearing Wang Chong's words, a hint of doubt flashed across Sun Zhiming's eyes. Wang Chong's words seemed to have a deeper meaning behind them, leaving Sun Zhiming in a daze.
Wang Chong smiled and didn't say anything.
Sun Zhiming was talented, but this talent wasn't in martial arts, but in the way of thinking. Sun Zhiming was a rare 'genius general'.
However, his strength was his greatest shortcoming.
Of all the generals who graduated from the Kunwu Training Camp, Sun Zhiming was one of the weakest generals. Otherwise, he wouldn't have died on the battlefield.
A general who liked to launch surprise attacks had to possess outstanding strength. In fact, they had to be far stronger than an infantry general who fought head-on on the battlefield.
Sun Zhiming's death was partly man-made, but it was also partly due to his own weakness in martial arts.
Perhaps not even Sun Zhiming knew that Wang Chong was slowly, step by step, changing his future.
First, he gave him the Panther Bone cultivation technique, then the Tiger Bone cultivation technique, and then the other unparalleled cultivation techniques that he knew of. Wang Chong's plan was to groom Sun Zhiming into a powerful general who could stand on his own.
"The cavalry trained by the Zhuang Clan is renowned throughout the world. With the Zhuang Clan's cavalry paired with Sun Zhiming's talent as a commander, as well as his ability to launch surprise attacks, he will surely become an influential force in the Tang dynasty in the future."
Wang Chong thought.
Of the people around him, there were two people that Wang Chong was looking forward to meeting the most. One was Sun Burang. With his talent, he would definitely be able to groom an army of the strongest master archers in the Tang dynasty.
And the other was Sun Zhiming.
Archers and cavalry would always be the two most eye-catching formations on the battlefield. Archers specialized in long-range attacks while cavalry specialized in mobility!
And Sun Zhiming's ability to grasp opportunities on the battlefield gave him the potential to lead the strongest cavalry.
'Beastly Instincts' — this was the conclusion that Wang Chong's previous life had given to Sun Zhiming's ability to grasp opportunities.
Sun Zhiming didn't know this himself, and he hadn't realized it yet. But this talent was truly flowing through his body.
As long as he was given a powerful cavalry, Sun Zhiming would be able to create one astounding surprise attack after another without anyone's orders.
As for Sun Zhiming, there was no need for Wang Chong to subdue him. As long as he was strong, no matter where he was, he would be a success for the entire Tang dynasty!
"Wang gongzi! Please let me go! I know my mistake! — — "
Just as Wang Chong was deep in thought, a pleading voice sounded from the entrance of the hall. Wang Chong and Sun Zhiming turned around, only to see a familiar figure walking in from outside. With a loud 'peng', the figure kneeled onto the floor and prostrated himself.
"Heh, I was wondering who it was. So it's you, Deng Mingxin."
Seeing the figure kneeling on the floor, Wang Chong sneered coldly.
"Why, Deng Mingxin, are you here to warn me?"
Sun Zhiming stood up from the floor with disdain in his eyes. He didn't expect Deng Mingxin to follow him all the way here to plead for mercy from Wang Chong.
When this person was in power, he dared to order him around. But once he lost the upper hand, he dared to run to Wang Chong to beg for mercy.
"Deng Mingxin, why are you following me?"
Sun Zhiming's complexion wasn't too good.
"Sun Zhiming, I was wrong in the past. You can follow whoever you want to, I won't stop you anymore. Wang gongzi, I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, I beg you, please let my father go! "
Deng Mingxin lowered his head, his face ashen. The strong preyed on the weak. Deng Mingxin knew that he was in the wrong this time. Zheng Xuan had already rejected him, and Deng Mingxin knew that the only one who could save him now was Wang Chong.
"Deng Mingxin, it's useless to beg me. I can tell you with certainty that I won't help you! "
Wang Chong said calmly.
Wang Chong didn't have a good impression of Deng Mingxin. This person was too manipulative. In his previous life, Sun Zhiming could have done much more, but he ended up dying in his hands.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the fate of the Tang Dynasty changed because of him.
Furthermore, Deng Mingxin was too pragmatic. Wang Chong was the one who harmed him, using Big Uncle and The King of Song to strip his father of his scholarly title and official position.
Yet, Deng Mingxin was still able to threaten Sun Zhiming one moment, and the next, he ran to Wang Chong to admit defeat and beg for mercy.
If such a person was given a chance to rise again, Sun Zhiming would probably fall into his hands once more and be harmed by Deng Mingxin.
Thus, no matter what, Wang Chong wouldn't agree to it.
"Zhiming, I know that I've gone overboard at times. But if I ask myself honestly, I'm just trying to find a way out. Zhiming, if you were in my shoes, wouldn't it be the same? Even though I did threaten you, I was just saying it.
"I know that I've gone overboard, but Zhiming, other than this matter, think about how I've treated you. My father even praised you and gave you a box of ginseng. Have you forgotten all about it? "
Deng Mingxin gritted his teeth and turned to Sun Zhiming.
"This …"
Sun Zhiming hesitated. Even though he knew that the Deng Clan had done so because Deng Mingxin's father wanted to win him over … But Deng Mingxin's words were undeniably true.
In that instant, Sun Zhiming couldn't help but feel his heart soften.
After all, Deng Mingxin's father was stripped of his scholarly rank because of him. In that instant, Sun Zhiming subconsciously turned to look at Wang Chong.
"Deng Mingxin, are you still trying to play tricks? Let me tell you, no one can change the decree of the royal court. Even if it's you, I can't help you. Don't waste your efforts. "
Wang Chong said coldly.
He was speaking the truth. It was easy to get rid of someone like Deng Zhou, but it was extremely difficult to restore him to his scholarly rank.
'Spilled waters cannot be retrieved'. Once a decision was made, it was impossible to change it. This was something that not even Wang Chong's big uncle or The King of Song could do.
Deng Mingxin's efforts were destined to go to waste.
"Wang gongzi, I don't expect you to restore my father to his post. I only hope that Young Master can let me and my father go and don't try to kill us. "
Deng Mingxin gritted his teeth.
As soon as Deng Mingxin said those words, Wang Chong's face darkened.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Wang Chong said coldly.
On the other hand, Sun Zhiming seemed to have understood something, and he stared at Wang Chong in shock. Based on Deng Mingxin's words, it seemed like Wang Chong didn't just want to strip his father of his scholarly rank.
"This fellow is too shrewd!"
This thought flashed across Wang Chong's mind.
Stripping Deng Mingxin's father of his scholarly rank wasn't his entire plan. He did intend to deal with Deng Zhou after the latter was stripped of his scholarly rank.
Deng Mingxin and his father were Sun Zhiming's Achilles' heel. Stripping Deng Zhou of his scholarly rank wasn't enough to change Sun Zhiming's fate.
Thus, the best solution was to ensure that they would never be able to make a comeback.
For the sake of the empire's future, Wang Chong didn't mind playing the role of a 'villain'. However, he didn't expect Deng Mingxin to be so sharp.
"Sun Zhiming's death in his previous life wasn't a fluke."
Wang Chong realized that he had still underestimated Deng Mingxin. The other party was far more astute than he had thought.
"Wang gongzi, regardless of whether you admit it or not, I want you to spare us father and son. In exchange for this promise, I'm willing to give you a secret. "
Deng Mingxin gritted his teeth.
Deng Mingxin wasn't a fool. He knew that Wang Chong had nothing to do with Sun Zhiming, but for him, he was willing to mobilize influential officials like The King of Song and his big uncle to deal with him.
From Wang Chong's actions, Deng Mingxin felt a strong sense of threat.
If Wang Chong wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't stop after stripping his father of his scholarly rank.
Deng Mingxin was worried that the Wang Clan wouldn't let him off.
"What secret?"
Wang Chong asked impassively.
"It's regarding the Yao Clan and King Qi. I only heard one word … Hyderabad ores!"
Deng Mingxin gritted his teeth.
