"Hahaha, the Wang Clan has really stepped forward!"
In the royal palace, Yang Zhao's hands were trembling in excitement as he read the news he had just received. "This time, Zhangchou Jianqiang will really be promoted to the position of Minister of War! Little sister, we will no longer be helpless in the royal palace! "
Zhangchou Jianqiong was the talk of the royal court, and the one who would benefit in the end was also Zhangchou Jianqiong. However, there was one person who was even more excited than Zhangchou Jianqiong, and that person was Yang Zhao.
"As long as Zhangchou Jianqiong enters the royal court, I, Yang Zhao, will be able to rise to the top and become a high official!"
Yang Zhao clenched the letter in his hands so tightly that the veins on the back of his fists were bulging.
As the saying went, 'a call to the skies, the people will respond', and Yang Zhao was currently in a state where no one would respond. He wanted a high position and a generous salary, but Yang Zhao knew that his qualifications were too shallow.
Every single one of those 'bigwigs' in the royal court had probably investigated him thoroughly. Only by helping Zhangchou Jianqiong to the throne would he truly be able to rise to the top.
"Cousin, it seems like that little brother of yours has already stepped in to help us. At least it wasn't in vain that we helped him back then. "
A pleasant voice, reminiscent of a pearl falling on a jade plate, sounded from behind him. It was Consort Taizhen's voice.
"Hehe, isn't that right?"
Hearing Consort Tai Zhen's words, Yang Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.
"Back then, when I was in dire straits, everyone in the gambling den mocked me. Yet, he gave me a thousand gold taels without even asking a single question. For him to possess such boldness and means at such a young age, his future is bound to be limitless. Later on, when I learned that he was Duke Jiu's grandson, I was even more certain of this. — — Little sister, you should be able to feel this more vividly than me. "
Seated on the golden couch, Consort Tai Zhen couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing those words. Wang Chong's three poems had established her reputation as the number one beauty in the palace. Even this reputation had slowly spread out of the palace along with the three poems.
Consort Tai Zhen naturally knew this better than anyone else.
Although Consort Tai Zhen was quite confident in her beauty, sometimes, beauty wasn't enough to make her the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Cousin is right. But I haven't seen him yet. "
Consort Tai Zhen chuckled, and her tone became much gentler.
Consort Tai Zhen had special feelings for this young man from the Wang Clan, who had expressed his admiration for her in the poem, caused a huge uproar in the court, and was even imprisoned in the imperial prison.
It wasn't "love", but she did have a good impression of him. It was completely different from how she looked at other youths.
"Hehe, this fellow is currently in the training camp. If Little Sister wants to see him, there will be plenty of opportunities. "
Yang Zhao recalled the few times he had met Wang Chong, and his heart was filled with emotions.
"It's a pity that the Wang Clan is too powerful. Otherwise, I would really want to pull him over. However, it's good that he's around. With the strength of the Wang Clan and The King of Song, as well as Zhangchou Jianqiong's arrival, Little Sister, you won't be alone in the palace anymore. "
Yang Zhao said happily.
Consort Taizhen nodded and nodded in agreement.
…
"I'm a step too late!"
Yao Guang Yi slammed his fists onto the table with a livid expression. He had been trying his best to rope in Yang Zhao and Consort Tai Zhen.
Zhangchou Jianqiong was one of the opportunities he had been trying his best to win over.
But he didn't expect the Wang Clan to beat him to it.
Zhangchou Jianqiong was an outsider, and a ferocious dragon crossing the river posed a threat to all of the hegemons in the river. This was also the reason why no one stood up for him despite the long dispute over Zhangchou Jianqiong.
Everyone had chosen to remain silent on this matter.
The Wang Clan had been silent for a long time, so Yao Guang Yi had always thought that they were against it. They were afraid that Zhangchou Jianqiong would come to the capital.
But he didn't expect Wang Gen to stand up so decisively.
"I've been fooled by them!"
Veins were popping on Yao Guang Yi's forehead, and his complexion was awful. How could he not understand that he had been hoodwinked by the Wang Clan? If the Wang Clan had openly supported Zhangchou Jianqiong from the start, everyone in the capital would have surely opposed them. But now, not only did no one criticize them, Zhangchou Jianqiong even owed him a huge favor.
He was just a step too slow, and he had lost this opportunity forever.
Zhangchou Jianqiong would remember the first one who supported him, but he wouldn't care too much about the second or third …
"Such decisiveness and decisiveness definitely isn't Wang Gen's style. Wang Chong, Wang Chong … It must be that lad again! "
Killing intent surged in Yao Guang Yi's eyes.
"I was still a step too slow!"
Yao Guang Yi wasn't the only one sighing. In a residence in the center of the capital, a slender figure sighed as he slowly put down the letter in his hands.
…
Wang Chong was oblivious to the changes in the royal court. At this moment, Wang Chong's attention was completely focused on killing the Goguryeon warriors.
Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka worked together to hunt down these targets. The death of every True Martial realm Goguryeon warrior would provide Wang Chong with a large amount of Origin Energy.
In a short period of time, Wang Chong had killed a large number of True Martial realm experts, and his strength had risen to a whole new level. His strength, speed, and dexterity had all increased significantly, and he wasn't too far off from reaching Origin Energy Tier 9.
Unknowingly, another three to four days passed.
Deep in the night, the winds howled, and the surroundings were sparsely populated. At the border of the capital, where few people could be seen, a figure dressed in a robe walked slowly.
Judging from his appearance, he was dressed like someone from the Central Plains. However, his walking posture was a little awkward, and one could tell that he was a little unnatural.
"Boom!"
Just as that person walked to a lush maple tree by the side of the road, boom! A cold gleam flashed, and as though a bolt of lightning, a sword gleam struck the top of that person's head.
At the same time, close to the ground, a pitch-black silhouette of a sword pierced toward the back of that person's waist as though a venomous snake.
The two figures moved in tandem with one another, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding of one another.
"Boom!"
In the instant that he was ambushed, the person didn't panic. Instead, he pulled out his sword with both hands. At the same time that he drew the sword, a ring of light shot out, and a majestic torrent of energy swept out mightily, covering the heavens and the earth.
Boom boom boom!
Stellar Energy clashed with a sword, but the only sound it produced was the clash of swords against swords. In fact, one could even vaguely hear sparks flying in the air.
It was as if the surging torrent was not formless and formless stellar energy, but a saber-shaped sword.
Halo of Sharpness!
Upon mastering this halo, one's Stellar Energy would become as sharp as swords. This Goguryeon warrior was executing this' Halo of Sharpness', and it was also a variant halo of the True Martial realm.
Under the collision of the halo and the three consecutive slashes, Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka were forced to retreat.
"Hahaha, I wasn't wrong. You really took the bait!"
That person didn't pursue them. Instead, he pointed a saber at Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka and laughed heartily, as though his scheme had succeeded.
"Gongzi, it's a trap!"
Miyasame Ayaka's eyes narrowed upon hearing the other party's words. She immediately sensed that something was amiss.
"Hahaha, not bad. It's indeed a trap! But it's a pity that it's too late! — — Come out! "
That person exerted strength at his waist, and with a 'chi la' sound, his clothes were torn apart, revealing a Goguryeon warrior's attire. At the same time, he waved his hands grandly. Hualala, three figures immediately rushed out from the forest and surrounded Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka.
These three people were all experienced True Martial realm experts, and each of them carried a powerful aura. Even one of them was enough to make Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka worry for a long time. Now that the four of them had appeared together, Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka were immediately placed in a disadvantageous position.
"I'm just the bait, and they are the real attack. Since you can't even defeat me, you won't be a match for them. Hehe, no matter what you do now, the only thing awaiting you is death. "
That person laughed heartily as a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
As the experts of the second base, they reacted much faster than the others. The sudden disappearance of a True Martial realm expert wasn't a small matter.
Almost immediately, they realized the severity of the matter.
Even though they couldn't confirm the truth, they still quickly came up with a plan. The four of them formed a group, with one in the open and three in the shadows.
The one in the open was the bait.
This way, they could probe the other party's strength, and at the same time, they could keep an eye on one another to prevent any problems from arising.
Just that, the man didn't expect them to be so lucky. It had only been a few days, and they had already encountered a bait.
"Hehehe, to dare to play tricks before us, you're just asking for it. Once we capture you, I'll see for myself what your background is and who's behind you all! "
The man laughed heartily as he stared at Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka as though they were already corpses.
"Gongzi, what do we do now?"
Cold sweat seeped out of Miyasame Ayaka's eyes. Regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or numbers, these people had the upper hand.
With their strength alone, it was impossible for them to defeat so many people.
"Don't worry, there's no need to worry."
Wang Chong replied with a relaxed expression.
"Go, capture them all. If any problems arise, it's fine even if we kill them. "
He could only hear the voices of the two people in his ears.
Hong long!
As though announcing Wang Chong's death, the man waved his hand, and three True Martial realm experts of the Goguryeon Empire, along with him, gathered three powerful Stellar Energy Torrents.
Before these Stellar Energy Torrents, even Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka's Origin Energy paled in comparison.
Yiiii!
Without any hesitation, the moment the four of them drew their sabers, Wang Chong let out a deafening howl.
"Go!"
This howl wasn't directed at Miyasame Ayaka, but someone in the distance.
Hong long!
Without any hesitation, Wang Chong immediately released his Bane of the Battlefield halo.
