"Fatty Wei, hurry up and make a trip down the mountain!"
A pigeon soared into the sky from the Wang Family Residence, heading toward the Kunwu Training Camp. This was the only message on the pigeon.
At the end of the message, a tri-dot ink mark was added on the letter.
This was the signal that Wang Chong and Wei Hao had agreed upon.
There was no better middleman than Wei Hao. As a Duke of the Tang dynasty, Wei Hao's background wasn't inferior to Duke of Liu's. In fact, he might even be superior.
Sending Wei Hao out would allow the Duke of Liu Residence to retain some face.
Furthermore, they were both scions of prestigious clans, and they were no longer the profligate scions of the past. It was about time for Wei Hao to do the things that scions of prestigious clans should do.
"Coming!"
The reply from Kunwu Training Camp soon arrived. On the letter were two large words written in flamboyant calligraphy, or rather, 'incomparably ugly'.
Wei Hao's calligraphy was as ugly as Wang Chong's.
By the time the pigeon arrived, Wei Hao was already on his way. He didn't ask why, nor did he make any excuses.
Wei Hao had complete trust in Wang Chong. As long as he called out to him, he would come over immediately.
This was what brothers were like.
"Wang Chong, you were looking for me?"
It was nearing evening, and Wei Hao entered the Wang Family Residence. Without even wiping off the sweat on his forehead, he headed straight for Wang Chong's study.
"How is it? Brother, I'm here quickly! I saw the mark on the letter. It's extremely urgent, so I didn't rush over immediately. "
Wei Hao stood at the door with his hands on the door frame. He grinned excitedly.
He knew that Wang Chong had left the mountain.
They were brothers, and it wasn't the first day that he had known Wang Chong. Wei Hao was willing to bet that something must have happened in the capital.
Otherwise, Wang Chong wouldn't have called for him.
"It's not that urgent, but there's something important."
Wang Chong smiled. Ever since he was young, whether it was his past life or this life, he had always liked this kind of personality.
He wouldn't say anything even if he had to risk his life.
"Do you still remember Su Hanshan from White Tiger Peak? The one who shares a room with me … "
Wang Chong went straight to the point and told him everything he knew about Su Hanshan.
"Is that him?"
Wei Hao stepped into the room and took a sip of water. His face was also filled with surprise.
"In the capital, Duke of Liu has always kept a low profile. How did Su Hanshan get involved with Duke of Liu? "
He knew about the "block of ice" on White Tiger Peak. They were not to be trifled with and were not easy to deal with. Many people avoided him when they saw him.
Wei Hao didn't expect Wang Chong to look for him.
"That's exactly what I want to know. This is also the main reason why I called you here. Help me arrange an appointment with the second son of the Duke of Liu. I want to know what is going on here. "
Wang Chong said.
"Alright, leave this matter to me! It just so happens that my clan has some dealings with the Duke of Liu. I'll help you find out more about it. "
Without any hesitation, Wei Hao stood up and left.
Wei Hao left in the evening, and Wang Chong thought that he would return soon. However, he didn't expect that Wei Hao would still be nowhere to be seen.
Wang Chong sent someone to investigate, and all he heard was that Wei Hao had made an appointment with the young master of the Li Clan to reserve the entire tavern. No one was allowed to enter, and no one was allowed to leave.
"Gongzi, should we send someone to take a look? Isn't this a little too long for a meeting? "
In the study, The Eagle stood before Wang Chong and asked.
"There's no need for that. This is the territory of the Son of Heaven, and Wei Hao is the son of Duke of Wei. The Duke of Liu won't do anything to him. "
Seated behind his desk, Wang Chong waved his hands and said authoritatively.
'Don't use a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you use'. This matter involved the great clans of three empires, and Wang Chong believed that the Duke of Liu wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
"Just wait patiently. He will come out sooner or later."
After saying these words, Wang Chong closed his eyes.
Time slowly passed, and four hours later, a commotion suddenly sounded outside. Before the person could even be seen, a loud exclamation sounded.
"Wang Chong, Wang Chong! Inconceivable, inconceivable! … Do you know what I just heard? "
Accompanied by The Eagle, Wei Hao hurried into Wang Chong's study. His eyes were bright, and even in the darkness, they glowed brightly.
After returning from the Kunwu Training Camp and chatting with the son of Duke of Liu late into the night, not only did Wei Hao not feel fatigued, he even seemed energetic.
"Did the son of Duke of Liu say anything?"
Wang Chong suddenly felt energized, and his sleepiness was swept away. Raising a finger, he gestured to the empty seat opposite him, indicating for Wei Hao to sit down.
"Wang Chong, I finally know what Su Hanshan is looking for in the Duke of Liu Residence. He's looking for his younger sister. Can you imagine? That fellow actually has a younger sister! "
Wei Hao exclaimed in astonishment.
Wang Chong and The Eagle glanced at each other, and both of them were astonished.
"Wei gongzi, you can't be thinking of saying that the Duke of Liu Residence forcefully abducted a lady and oppressed the kind-hearted. That Li Bing of the Duke of Liu Clan fell in love with that Su gongzi's younger sister and forcefully abducted her into the residence, right? Yet, the Duke of Liu Residence tried to kill that Su gongzi out of fear that this scandal would spread? "
The Eagle asked in bewilderment.
Even though he was the one who brought Wei Hao into the residence, due to the lack of time, he didn't have the time to understand the situation.
"Hehe, it would be great if it's really a show where the scions of nobility abduct a lady. Things are a hundred times more complicated than that. "
Wei Hao chuckled as he crossed his legs, intentionally keeping Wang Chong in suspense.
"Isn't that the case?"
Wang Chong said, ignoring the gleeful look on that lad's face that was asking for a beating.
"Hehe, you don't know, right? You might be scared to death if I tell you. Do you know that the real Duke of Liu should be that Su Hanshan? "
Wei Hao gleefully tossed out an earth-shattering piece of news.
"How is that possible?"
Wang Chong widened his eyes in shock.
He knew of the grudge between Su Hanshan and the Duke of Liu Residence, but Wei Hao's words were truly a miraculous twist. This was especially so considering that it was coming from the Duke of Liu Residence, which made it even more unbelievable.
Wang Chong's instinctive reaction was disbelief.
"Wei Hao, what's going on? Tell me the details of your meeting with Duke of Liu gongzi. Don't keep me in suspense. "
Wang Chong straightened his back and said earnestly.
He felt that he had probably come into contact with Su Hanshan's true secret. If he could unravel this secret, he might be able to open up Su Hanshan's path to becoming a Great General.
He would be able to bring out all of his potential and allow him to reach heights that he couldn't reach in his previous life.
"Hehe, it's a long story. That fellow from the Duke of Liu Residence was so hesitant, and he refused to say anything. He thought that Su Hanshan had said something to you, so he ended up spilling the beans himself. "
Seeing the seriousness in Wang Chong's words, Wei Hao didn't dare to continue keeping him in suspense. Thus, he revealed everything that he had heard in the tavern.
The grudge between the Duke of Liu Residence and Su Hanshan's lineage could be traced back to three generations ago, when the Tang dynasty was under Emperor Gaozong.
Even though the Duke of Liu Residence and Su Hanshan's lineage hated each other so much, three generations ago, the two were best friends.
Su Hanshan wasn't an outsider either. He was a citizen of the capital.
Emperor Gaozong's generation was a rare talent.
His martial arts couldn't be said to be weak, but he was definitely not an extraordinary figure. Furthermore, he couldn't be compared to the current Holy Emperor.
Given Emperor Gaozong's talent, it was easy to imagine the dangers he faced before he ascended to the throne.
Once, Gaozong fell into danger and fainted. It was Su Hanshan's ancestor, Su Feng, who discovered him in time, saved him, and brought him out of danger.
Su Feng didn't tell anyone about this matter, other than his only friend. That was the ancestor of the Duke of Liu Residence.
Gaozong was one of the few emperors of the Tang dynasty. He was indebted to another for saving his life, so he wanted to confer him the title of duke.
However, in his daze, Gaozong mistook Su Feng's friend for the person who saved him.
On top of that, Su Feng's friend was blinded by greed. Even though he knew that His Majesty was mistaken, under the allure of the title of duke, he still accepted the matter.
On the other hand, Su Hanshan's grandfather, Su Feng, was kept in the dark.
By the time he found out, the matter was already settled. On the other hand, Su Feng's friend was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he imprisoned Su Feng.
The latter had always viewed the other party as a close friend, and he felt deeply humiliated by the other party. Although Su Feng's friend finally felt guilty and let him out, Su Feng's friend still let him out.
However, Su Feng still died of grief and indignation.
This was the origin of the grudge between Su Hanshan's lineage and the Duke of Liu Residence. 'An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye'. How could Su Feng, as a son, tolerate the humiliation and indignation that he suffered?
Even though a lawsuit was filed and the matter was brought up to the royal court, the emperor's words were golden. But after all, the Emperor's words were like gold and jade. Even if he had recognized the wrong person, he could only make the best of the mistake.
Even though Su Feng's son was rewarded, there was no way he would accept it.
Just like that, this matter became a deadlock!
As such, there was no room for reconciliation between the two clans.
After Su Feng's son failed in his mission, he fled the capital. Thus, he passed his will down to his son, Su Hanshan.
This was already the third generation.
The Su Clan passed his will down to his son, never forgetting to seek vengeance. On the other hand, Duke of Liu's lineage didn't sit idly by either. They passed down the matter as well.
Even though they were in the wrong, they couldn't just sit idly by and allow others to place a knife against their neck.
The Duke of Liu Residence also did something as well.
Somehow, they managed to find the hiding place of Su Hanshan and his brother, and they dispatched a group of men to capture Su Hanshan's younger sister.
As for Su Hanshan, no one knew what he was doing back then. In any case, he wasn't on the mountain, so he managed to escape this calamity.
The Duke of Liu Residence didn't do anything to his younger sister after capturing her. She still stayed there with good food and drinks, and she was also provided with special maids to serve her.
Other than the fact that she couldn't move freely, it was much better than living in the mountains. On top of that, no one in the Duke of Liu Residence harbored any ill intentions toward her.
The Duke of Liu Residence's thoughts were simple as well.
Since the grudge between the two clans couldn't be resolved, they would use his younger sister as a hostage. This way, Su Hanshan would have some reservations, and he would be able to prevent himself from doing something as extreme as the previous generation.
However, the Su Clan and the Duke of Liu Residence weren't just enemies. In fact, the Duke of Liu Residence's standing was due to Su Feng.
The ancestor of the Duke of Liu Residence had also explained these matters in detail in his family letter. Thus, there was no need for them to do anything to the young lady.
They were still extremely polite, not offending her at all!
