"Li gongzi, it has been a long time. I am Wang Chong, the grandson of Prime Minister Wang Bowu and the son of General Wang Yan! "
Wang Chong observed his expression and said nothing more. With a wave of his hand, he tossed over a dazzling golden token.
Taken aback, Li Bing subconsciously caught it. However, with just a glance, his face immediately warped.
Li Bing had never met Wang Chong before, and their social circle didn't intersect at all. However, there was no one in the capital who didn't know of the Wang Clan's emblem.
Wang Bowu!
No one dared to address him in such a manner anymore. Everyone, including the dukes and kings of the royal court, had to address him respectfully as Duke Jiu.
Li Bing didn't expect that the young man who suddenly walked out of the forest in the middle of the night would be the grandson of Duke Jiu, the Wang Clan's Qilin son who had caused a huge uproar in the Tang dynasty.
"Why is he here?"
Li Bing looked at the calm-looking young man who was walking toward him with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Even though the Wang Clan wasn't conferred the title of Duke, it was the clan of ministers and generals envied by the other clans. In terms of standing, it wasn't beneath the Duke of Liu Residence.
"Brother Su, how is it? Are you able to hold on?"
Ignoring the complicated expression on Li Bing's face, Wang Chong revealed his identity and walked through the crowd toward Su Hanshan, who was seated beneath the tree.
The person he was most concerned about at the moment was Su Hanshan.
This talented general who could rival the likes of Gao Xianzhi, Fomonlința, Geshu Han, and Wang Shougui was the person that Wang Chong was most concerned about at the moment.
The future seemed to have taken a turn for the worse.
In his previous life, Su Hanshan's personality was cold, aloof, and unsociable. Even though he trained the best army in the world and was able to pierce through the defenses of the other party, he was also known for his unsociable personality.
In his previous life, Su Hanshan's personality was cold, aloof, and unsociable.
Needless to say, he didn't have much of a relationship with his comrades from the Kunwu Training Camp, needless to say, others.
There was no one who could be his ally, and he would never work with anyone!
Yet, such a person would always leave the army at a specific time every year and appear at a certain location in the capital.
Even when the war was at its peak, it had never changed.
Wang Chong had asked The Eagle to investigate based on this point.
Just that, Wang Chong didn't expect that his investigation would lead him to the Duke of Liu, and for such a scene to occur.
If he hadn't appeared, wouldn't Su Hanshan have died here?
This was something Wang Chong hadn't expected at all.
Wang Chong realized that things were starting to change from what he remembered.
"Brother Su, this is a healing pill. It might be of some help to your injuries."
Wang Chong walked to the bottom of the tree and took out a Healing Pill that he got from Liuzhi Zhang and handed it over.
Su Hanshan's face was still as cold as ever. He did not accept the healing pill that Wang Chong was offering him, maintaining his aloof demeanor.
Just that, when his cold eyes glanced at Wang Chong's figure, he couldn't help but reveal an indiscernible hint of astonishment.
Without a doubt, Su Hanshan didn't expect Wang Chong to appear here, not to mention at this moment!
"As expected, nothing has changed at all!"
Wang Chong chuckled inwardly. He wasn't surprised in the least.
Even though the two of them shared the same room on White Tiger Peak, they had their own matters to attend to, and they didn't have much of a relationship with one another.
Su Hanshan's daily routine wasn't too different from that of an ordinary person. He would disappear early in the morning before daybreak, and he would return late at night.
Even though they lived together, the chances of them meeting each other were pitifully low.
Under such circumstances, given Su Hanshan's personality, it would be strange if he would accept Wang Chong's offer for free.
"Li gongzi, I'll take this person away. How about I owe you a favor?"
Wang Chong looked back at Li Bing and said confidently.
Both the Wang Clan and the Li Clan were nobles in the capital. Since Wang Chong had already revealed his identity, it was equivalent to the Wang Clan dealing with the Duke of Liu Residence.
Once the scions of the prestigious clans came of age, they would represent their clan. Thus, they wouldn't make promises easily.
Wang Chong believed that a promise from him was more important than Su Hanshan's life. Li Bing wouldn't reject him.
"Chong gongzi, pardon me for speaking out of turn. This person... Su Hanshan isn't from the capital, so he probably doesn't have much of a relationship with gongzi. Chong gongzi, why don't you hand this person over to us? My father has already instructed us to bring him back no matter what. I hope that gongzi can fulfill my wish. "
Unexpectedly, Li Bing hesitated for a moment before saying something else. Even under such circumstances, he was still unwilling to give up on Su Hanshan.
Wang Chong's eyebrows shot up. Amidst his surprise, he couldn't help but glance at the pale-faced Su Hanshan on the floor.
A person whom the Duke of Liu had personally instructed to capture?
This wasn't the attitude one would use against a petty thief. What kind of conflict did this fellow have with the Duke of Liu?
"Li gongzi, you're overthinking things. This friend of mine has always been like this. To be honest with Li gongzi, Brother Su and I shared the same room on the White Tiger Peak of the Kunwu Training Camp. This time, he had come down the mountain on the orders of his ancestor to invite him to stay at the Wang Family and meet him. However, I didn't see him for a long time, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Li gongzi, on my account, I hope that you can let this matter rest. I'll surely pay you a visit in the future to apologize. "
Wang Chong's reaction wasn't slow. Since Li Bing brought up Duke of Liu, Wang Chong brought up his grandfather and even said that his grandfather would be inviting him over. Wang Chong didn't believe that Li Bing would be able to overturn this.
"Bullsh * t! Do you know how many of our men this lad has killed? Those brothers of ours are still lying on the floor right now, and you think that you can just take them away just like that? "
A guard of the Duke of Liu Residence suddenly interjected and reprimanded.
"Hmm?"
Wang Chong narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Times were different now. He was no longer the idle profligate son of the past.
In the outside world, he represented the Wang Clan, a clan of ministers and generals.
How could a young master of a clan of generals and ministers speak with the son of a duke of the Tang dynasty?
However, Wang Chong couldn't be bothered to reprimand the guard. This matter only meant that the Duke of Liu Residence had lost face. Instead, he turned his gaze to the eldest son of Duke of Liu, Li Bing.
"Back down! Do you have the right to speak here? "
As expected, under Wang Chong's glare, Li Bing couldn't maintain his composure and bellowed furiously. With an embarrassed look, the latter hurriedly retreated.
"Chong gongzi, must you take this person away?"
Li Bing took a few steps forward and said in a deep voice. His eyes stared fixedly at Wang Chong, not letting go of the slightest change.
What guest invited by Duke Jiu? He didn't believe a single word that Wang Chong said.
However, there was no doubt that Wang Chong was here for this lad.
What Li Bing wanted to know at this moment was whether there was any room for reconciliation between the two parties. Was Wang Chong determined to take this lad away?
The Wang Clan wasn't an ordinary clan. If it was anything else, he would have agreed to it.
However, this matter wasn't an ordinary one to the Li Clan.
"Li gongzi, I think that I have made myself clear. I must take this person away!"
Wang Chong pointed to Su Hanshan and said.
The reason why he appeared here in the middle of the night wasn't to allow Li Bing to bring Su Hanshan into the Duke of Liu Residence. Regardless of the relationship between the Duke of Liu Residence and Su Hanshan, he was determined to bring Su Hanshan away.
"Chong gongzi, you don't seem to have many people with you, right?"
Li Bing sneered coldly as he stepped forward.
As he spoke, he stared coldly at the Eagle behind Wang Chong. His intentions were clear. There was only one Profound Martial realm expert by Wang Chong's side.
And there were two such experts by Wang Chong's side.
If Wang Chong were to make a move, Wang Chong wouldn't be able to escape at all, needless to say, save Wang Chong.
"Hahaha! ... "
Wang Chong couldn't help but laugh at these words, his expression fearless.
"Li gongzi, you can't be that naive. This is the Duke of Liu Residence, and I'm alone. Do you think that I would come here without any preparations? "
Weng!
Hearing those words, Li Bing couldn't hold himself back anymore. If Wang Chong really had an expert hidden in the shadows, he wouldn't be able to bring this person away regardless of whether he was willing or not.
At the very least, if anything were to happen to Wang Chong here, the Duke of Liu Residence would definitely be in deep trouble.
The Wang Clan wasn't just any ordinary clan.
Putting aside Duke Jiu's influence in the royal court, just the alliance between the Wang Clan and The King of Song was something that all powers had to take seriously.
The current Wang Clan and The King of Song were at the peak of their power in the royal court. The Bureau of Military Personnel, the royal court, and the royal court were all vassals to them.
In this aspect, the Duke of Liu Residence, which had been around for three generations, couldn't possibly compare to them.
Putting everything aside, just the wrath of the The King of Song wasn't something that the Duke of Liu Residence could withstand.
If what Wang Chong said was true, the Duke of Liu Residence would have to reconsider its actions.
"Brother Li, do you doubt my words?"
Wang Chong's eyes were as sharp as the flames of a candle. Seeing that Li Bing wasn't willing to speak up, he immediately knew what the latter was thinking. With a slight smile, he raised his arm and gestured.
Sou!
An arrow pierced into the ground before Li Bing. The shaft of the arrow was almost at his feet, and the tail of the arrow trembled in the air, producing a buzzing sound.
Looking at the arrow, Li Bing's heart immediately sank, and his complexion turned awful.
He didn't expect Wang Chong to be telling the truth. The other party had really come prepared. This arrow was more than enough to prove his point.
However, he couldn't bring himself to let Su Hanshan off just like that.
In order to lure this lad into their trap, the Duke of Liu Residence had spent a huge amount of time and effort. How could they possibly let him off so easily?
More importantly, wouldn't that matter be exposed?
How could Li Bing be willing to accept this?
He wasn't sure whether he should make a move or not. In this instant, Li Bing and his group of experts were caught in a dilemma.
Hualala!
Just as Li Bing was in a dilemma, the sound of wind whistling echoed. A snow-white West Domain Eagle flapped its wings and flew over from the night sky.
This sudden change immediately caught everyone's attention. Even Wang Chong turned his gaze over.
The West Domain Eagle clearly belonged to the Duke of Liu Residence. Li Bing stretched out an arm, and the West Domain Eagle landed on his left arm.
