"To think that the truth would be like this! It's no wonder why Su Hanshan seemed to have a knot in his heart in his previous life, causing him to be unable to become an Imperial Great General and become the greatest loss of the Central Plains! "
Hearing Wei Hao's words, Wang Chong fell into a long period of silence.
Those seniors from back then had many opinions about Su Hanshan. Without a doubt, his fall was a heart-wrenching one.
This person was capable, daring, and decisive.
Even those who disliked him had to admit that Su Hanshan was an outstanding commander. Wherever he stood, even if the enemy had a thousand men, the army by his side would never back down.
As long as Su Hanshan wasn't afraid, as long as Su Hanshan was still standing there, his soldiers would never fear him!
In that chaotic world, to his empress, Su Hanshan had always been the safest person in the world.
He advanced and retreated together with all of his soldiers.
And in the end, Su Hanshan fulfilled his promise to his soldiers.
He and his most powerful army had perished together on the battlefield!
This was a man worthy of respect, a true soldier, a Great General of the empire!
Even though he didn't manage to reach that step in the end.
Back then, when Wang Chong heard of Su Hanshan's death, his heart was also filled with sorrow.
This was also the reason why Wang Chong was determined to help Su Hanshan in this life. Of all the people in the Kunwu Training Camp, Su Hanshan was the one Wang Chong wanted to help the most, the one who wanted to change his fate the most.
However, this wasn't something that outsiders could talk about. Wang Chong couldn't and couldn't possibly talk about it to outsiders.
"Hehe, the Duke of Liu's lineage sure knows how to talk. I don't believe that the truth is as they say. Hmph, my clan does have some dealings with the Duke of Liu Residence. But despite being in the capital for so long, I still don't know how the Li Clan obtained their position as Duke of Liu. How shameful! "
Wei Hao said disdainfully as he leaned back.
He valued his brothers and friends the most. Therefore, as soon as Wang Chong sent him a letter and a sentence, he directly left the Kunwu Training Camp without asking why.
After rushing for several hours, without any hesitation, he immediately helped Wang Chong arrange an appointment with the young master of the Duke of Liu Clan. Now that he was exhausted, there was not a single word of complaint.
With Wei Hao's personality, he hated people who betrayed and coveted their brothers.
"The truth is hard for us outsiders to say. It's normal that you haven't heard about it. After all, this matter involved Emperor Gaozong. It's not the kind of thing that goes around. However, this matter also explains why the Duke of Liu Residence is keeping such a low profile. "
Wang Chong's index finger tapped on the table. Da da da. There were many dukes in the Tang dynasty. Most of them chose to keep a low profile after the death of their ancestors, staying away from politics to protect themselves.
Even so, the Duke of Liu Residence was one of the more discreet dukes who preferred to protect themselves. In fact, the Duke of Liu Residence even planted a circle of trees outside the high walls.
Very few people in the capital were aware of the existence of the Duke of Liu Residence.
Now that he thought about it, there must be a reason behind it.
Not many people in the lower echelons knew that the nobility of the Duke of Liu's lineage was a dishonorable title. However, the royal court should have known about it.
It was just that no one mentioned it out of fear of Emperor Gaozong.
The Duke of Liu Lineage also knew about it, which was why they chose to keep such a low profile.
"Even though I don't agree with the Duke of Liu Lineage, their words aren't without reason. The grudge between the two clans is a matter of their grandfather's generation, and the people involved are already dead. Their generation is already the third generation, so it has nothing to do with the matter back then. "
"Furthermore, even though Su Hanshan's grandfather passed away in anger, his father accompanied them in passing. This is different from ordinary vendettas. "
Wang Chong said.
"But Su Hanshan probably won't think so."
Wei Hao said.
"But compared to that matter, I believe that there's something else that he's more concerned about. Furthermore, we will soon know whether the Duke of Liu Lineage is speaking the truth or not, whether they are just feigning civility, and whether they are truly intent on changing for the better. — — Bring me a brush! "
Wang Chong rolled up his sleeves, and with a flick of his wrist, he subconsciously reached for a brush. But after a moment of hesitation, he smiled bitterly and drew it back.
"The Eagle, how's your handwriting?"
Wang Chong suddenly turned to look at The Eagle and asked.
"Ah!"
The latter exclaimed, as though he had just awoken from a dream. Then, a perplexed look appeared on his face.
"Our handwriting is ugly, so Wang Chong asked you to write for him!"
Wei Hao said.
"Is that so... Because I often had to transcribe messages in the past, I practiced my handwriting for a period of time, so it's still passable."
The Eagle didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This young master of his was good at everything, and he had his own views on everything he did. However, this handwriting of his was extremely ugly, and it was truly incomprehensible!
Duke Jiu was a virtuous minister of the Tang dynasty!
Naturally, Wang Chong knew what The Eagle was thinking. He was also embarrassed about this matter, so he hurriedly chuckled and changed the topic.
After taking an inkstone and grinding the ink, Wang Chong explained the contents of the letter while The Eagle wrote it down. Finally, he stamped the Wang Clan's seal on the letter, and a guard of the Wang Clan sent it to the Duke of Liu Residence.
This was the official way for the clans to communicate with one another, and carrier pigeons were forbidden.
On the other hand, with the Wang Clan's seal on the letter, regardless of whether the letter was written by Wang Chong or not, the Duke of Liu would be representing the entire Wang Clan.
Wang Chong's letter was simple, and there was only a single content.
In the name of the Wang Clan, he hoped that the Duke of Liu Residence would hand over Su Hanshan's younger sister, the girl whom the Duke of Liu Residence had kidnapped, to the Wang Clan.
Regardless of whether the Duke of Liu Residence's words were true or not, they would know once they saw the girl. If the girl was indeed mistreated, there was nothing Wang Chong could do about it.
The grudge between Su Hanshan and the Duke of Liu Residence was irreconcilable.
Even though the current Su Hanshan looked like a joke, the future Su Hanshan would definitely be able to make the Duke of Liu Residence weep.
If the girl was still a virgin and had been treated well, it would mean that the Duke of Liu Residence wasn't lying, and there was still a chance that the matter could be resolved.
Roughly a day after the letter was sent out, a lady was sent out from the Duke of Liu Residence.
Wang Chong didn't meet the lady because she was sent to the Kunwu Training Camp by the guards of the Duke of Liu Residence.
Along with the lady were two chests of gold and a letter.
The gold was left behind, but the letter was taken away.
After the lady appeared outside the Kunwu Training Camp, she vanished into thin air. No one knew where she went.
"Alright! This matter is finally resolved. It seems like the Duke of Liu's men weren't lying. They didn't mistreat that lady. "
Wang Chong stood up and stretched his back lazily.
The goodwill of the Duke of Liu Residence wasn't without a bottom line. He had used the name of The King of Song and the Wang Clan to help Su Hanshan get the girl back, so it was only right for him to express some goodwill.
"Help me make an appointment with the eldest son of the Duke of Liu, Li Bing!"
Wang Chong said.
His big brother wasn't around, and his second brother was in the imperial prison. At this moment, he was the eldest son of the Wang Clan!
After this matter, Wang Chong specially made an appointment with the eldest son of the Duke of Liu, Li Bing, at his Royal Jade Pavilion to express his gratitude.
Just like that, this matter came to an end.
"Gongzi, I still don't understand. That day at the Duke of Liu Residence, even my 'eagles' weren't able to tell that it was a trap. Gongzi, how did you know? "
When everything was over, standing in the courtyard of the Wang Family Residence, looking at the flowerbeds and ponds before the corridor, The Eagle couldn't help but voice the doubts in his heart.
That day, if they had advanced any further, they would have been discovered.
The world beyond and beyond the high walls were two completely different worlds.
If Wang Chong had been trapped within the high walls, even if he were to die, the Duke of Liu Residence could claim that nothing had happened. After all, why would the grandson of Duke Jiu appear in the Duke of Liu Residence?
If the Wang Clan didn't explain this matter clearly, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves.
Yet, before the duo could get close, Wang Chong had already noticed the danger and dodged the attack.
"The Eagle, the 'eagles' and 'sparrows' that you have trained are already very intelligent. However, there are some things that the eyes of a bird can't see. "
Wang Chong smiled. That incident happened a few days ago, and the Eagle was still brooding over it. Clearly, he was still very concerned about it.
However, The Eagle didn't know that there was another reason why he was able to see through the trap.
"The Tang dynasty has a history of more than two hundred years, and there are many scions in the capital. No one knows all of them. But if you hang around here often, you'll more or less hear about them, or have heard some things about them, or have even caught a glimpse of them. "
Wang Chong explained.
"Those from the Duke of Liu Residence are considered to be rather low-profile. The scions of their clan rarely interact with others, but in certain aspects, they are rather high-profile. But in some ways, they're quite high-profile. Whether it's the eldest son, Li Bing, or the second son, Li Nian, who Wei Hao went to meet, or Young Master, they all bring a lot of guards with them when they travel. "
"On top of that, the guards around them are completely different from the guards around scions like us. They are true experts, experts that the Duke of Liu found from the sects. It feels as though they are always on guard against something, so no one really interacts with them."
Wang Chong said.
The Eagle nodded. He recalled the two formidable Profound Martial realm experts by Li Bing's side that day in the forest.
Li Bing brought these experts with him, and they almost never left his side. He even brought them with him when he met gongzi.
Back then, when Wei Hao met with the second son of Duke of Liu, Li Nian, he was the same.
In this aspect, the rumors weren't wrong.
But of course, the people in the capital probably didn't expect that the rumors weren't wrong at all. The members of the Duke of Liu Clan were guarding against others.
They were guarding against Su Hanshan.
"You said that the room of the Duke of Liu gongzi was brightly lit that day, but there wasn't a single guard outside. People like them who bring Profound Martial realm experts with them when they travel, how could they not even leave a single guard at the door? Since you have already confirmed that it was the room of the Duke of Liu gongzi, there can only be one possibility. That is, it was a trap. Thinking about it, Su Hanshan had been searching the Duke of Liu Residence for several days straight, but he didn't seem to be in a place where there was no one around. Thus, there's no doubt about it. "
In truth, he was also astonished that day. But after confirming that it was the room of the Duke of Liu gongzi, Wang Chong immediately retreated without any hesitation.
These weren't things that the Eagle's' eagles' and 'sparrows' could see through.
From this point of view, it could be said that his experience as a playboy in the capital was not completely useless.
After saying those words to the Eagle, Wang Chong flung his sleeves and walked out of the corridor. At the entrance of the Wang Family Residence, a carriage was waiting for him.
"Let's go!"
Wang Chong said to the coachman who had been waiting for a long time before stepping into the carriage.
Now that the matter in the capital had come to an end, it was about time for him to return to the Kunwu Training Camp.
