"Big uncle, if you wish to send cousin up the social ladder, it would be best for you to make a move yourself and settle this matter as soon as possible. If you delay it any further, there might be trouble! Furthermore, Wang Chong felt that cousin's capability in politics was far greater than in military affairs. I hope that big uncle will consider this matter. "
Wang Chong said.
In his previous life, the Yao Clan had to deal with the Wang Clan on several fronts. Other than Wang Chong's father, big uncle, uncle, and little uncle, Cousin Wang Li, and his own big brother Wang Fu, they were all on the list.
Big Brother Wang Fu was a steady person, so the Yao Clan couldn't bear to make a move on him. However, Cousin Wang Li was different.
In Wang Chong's memories, big uncle was too hasty in his previous life and placed Cousin Wang Li on the promotion list of the royal court, allowing the Yao Clan to seize this opportunity.
Yao Guang Yi made use of the Bureau of Military Personnel to transfer Cousin Wang Li to his side. Then, he used all kinds of methods to make Cousin Wang Li make a mistake. As expected, not too long later, Cousin Wang Li made a mistake, and he became the Yao Clan's weapon to attack the Wang Clan.
But back then, big uncle and father had both fallen. Cousin Wang Li's weakness couldn't be used, so the Yao Clan let it go.
However, it was different in this life. Yao Guang Yi had fallen by the borders, but his father and big uncle were still standing. If they wanted to deal with the Wang Clan, they would surely make use of this opportunity.
'A dam of a thousand li collapses due to an ant'. Given the capability of the two foxes of the Yao Clan, they would surely make use of this opportunity to topple the Wang Clan.
The reason why Wang Chong told Big Uncle Wang Gen was to remind him. Big uncle might not be interested in his own clan, but it was impossible for him not to be interested in the fate of his son.
Wang Chong was doing him a favor, and at the same time, he wanted to change his big uncle's impression of him.
"I have my own plans on this matter. You don't have to bother about the Yao Clan. I will report today's matter to the old master. "
Big Uncle Wang Gen waved his hands casually, and his expression softened.
Boom!
The moment his big uncle spoke, a mechanical voice, devoid of emotion, resounded in Wang Chong's mind.
[The host has awakened! Successfully changed the fate of your family and obtained the recognition of your family members. You have obtained the title 'Fate Struggler'!]
The voice disappeared in a flash, so fast that people thought it was an illusion. But Wang Chong almost jumped in fright.
"What's going on?"
Wang Chong was shocked and his face paled.
This voice came out of nowhere. It was not the voice of anyone in the room, but it came directly from his mind. In fact, that was not all.
Wang Chong remembered this voice. In his previous life, when he was on the verge of death, he had heard this voice. Although he could not remember the content clearly, he remembered this voice.
Wang Chong did not expect to hear it again at this time.
"Chong-er, are you alright?"
Wang Chong's mother was the first to notice Wang Chong's strange behavior.
"I'm fine!"
Wang Chong quickly shook his head. Even though he didn't know what was going on, Wang Chong was certain that something important had happened.
Mother Wang nodded her head. She thought that Wang Chong was excited.
"Zhu Yan, let's go!"
Not too far away, Big Uncle Wang Gen waved his hands and left. He was still worried about his eldest son, Wang Chi, so he didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.
In truth, other than Wang Chong himself, no one else in the hall noticed Wang Chong's strange behavior. Even if they did, they would think that he was happy.
"Wang Chong, good job. You have made Second Sister look at you in a different light this time! Remember to visit Second Sister's place soon. "
Cousin Wang Zhu Yan stroked Wang Chong's hair before leaving.
"Child, you have really changed. Big aunt is really happy for you. If you have the time, remember to visit big aunt. "
Big Aunt Wang Ru Shuang stood up:
"Meihua, I'll be leaving first. If you have the time, remember to bring your child there to take a look. "
"Alright! I'll send you off! "
Madam Wang Zhao Shu Hua stood up to send her off. She was grinning from ear to ear. However, Wang Chong wasn't in the mood to pay her any heed. His mind was in a mess, and all of his attention was focused on the mechanical and emotionless voice.
After his mother and the others left, Wang Chong rushed out of the hall and into his room!
…
"Let's go! It has been a long time since I left this place. After staying in the Four Corners Embassy for so long, it's about time for me to head out for a walk! "
Just as Wang Chong's Big Uncle Wang Gen and Big Aunt Wang Ru Shuang walked out of the Wang Family Residence, in the eastern courtyard of the Four Corners Embassy, a white-haired elder with sharp eyes and sharp eyes stood up from his chair with a dragon-headed cane.
The elder didn't seem to be a martial artist, but when he stood up from his seat, a majestic aura gushed out from his body.
The entire Four Corners Embassy, as well as the ground beneath his feet, seemed to tremble beneath his feet, accentuating his imposing figure.
Weng!
Upon seeing the elder stand up, all of the Imperial Army, guards, servants, and maids in the surroundings knelt down. Their heads were lowered, and a look of respect appeared on their faces.
It was as though weak insects were looking at a massive elephant in the forest. In fact, in the entire Central Plains, this white-bearded and skinny old man was definitely one of the most authoritative figures in the Central Plains.
This person was the pillar of the Yao Clan, Duke Yao, Old Master Yao!
"Old master, are you going to meet King Qi?"
An old but vigorous voice came from the side. Next to the old man was an old man in his sixties with a deep frown on his forehead. He looked unfathomable and extremely dangerous. He stood there with his body bowed and his expression was very respectful.
"Guang Yi has suffered a setback in the south. This matter isn't something he can take responsibility for!"
Old Master Yao couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"The Wang Clan seems to have an expert helping them this time!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent. The atmosphere was terrifyingly stifling.
The news that the Old Master's most valued second son, Yao Guang Yi, had suffered a setback by the borders spread like wildfire throughout the capital. Right now, the entire Yao Clan had become a laughingstock.
At the east side of the Four Quarters Embassy, silence reigned the entire day. No one dared to speak. Privately, everyone was saying that the Wang Clan's Wang Gengzhi had received the guidance of an expert.
This' expert 'was even more formidable than Old Master Guang Yi. He had even managed to play the decisive and meticulous Old Master Guang Yi in the palm of his hands.
In fact, there were even some who said that the incident at the Vast Crane Pavilion was a scheme of the other party.
However, up until now, no one knew who the 'expert' behind the Wang Clan was. In the Wang Clan, from 'Duke Jiu' to Wang Yan, none of them were skilled in scheming.
Only the eldest son, Wang Gen, knew a little about it, but it was limited to the royal court. He knew nothing about military affairs. In terms of foresight, he was far from matching up to Old Master Guang Yi.
With the help of such an expert, the Wang Clan was like a tiger that had grown wings. This wasn't a good thing for the Yao Clan!
The old servant, Yao Chun, had been by Old Master Yao's side for decades, but from the looks of it, the Old Master didn't have any good ideas on this matter.
"Old master, even though Second Young Master isn't a match for you, he has inherited some of your teachings. This time, he has been played by the other party, and all of his intentions have been grasped by the other party … This has never happened before. Furthermore, our men have investigated the matter, but they weren't able to find any traces of the other party! "
"Old master, Second Young Master's opponent isn't simple! You must help him. "
Yao Guang Yi was already in his forties, but in the words of the old servant, Yao Chun, he was still the 'Second Young Master'.
"The one who comes doesn't come with good intentions! I have my own way of dealing with this matter. — — Call Guang Yi back. Tell him that this is my order. Tell him not to offend the Wang Clan for the time being. "
Old Master Yao closed his eyes and said after a long moment of silence.
The old servant, Yao Chun, was also astonished. He had followed the Old Master for decades, but this was the first time he had seen the Old Master adopt a defensive stance before an opponent.
Clearly, even the Old Master found this matter troublesome.
"But old master, it won't be easy to explain this to King Qi. For something like this to happen by the borders, Second Young Master has failed time and time again. King Qi is currently furious. In the past three days, he has already sent sixteen tokens to summon Second Young Master back. It isn't a good thing for Second Young Master to be summoned back now! "
The old servant, Yao Chun, said worriedly.
"Tell Guang Yi not to worry about this matter. I will deal with King Qi. But before that, I have to make a trip to the west to meet my old rival in the Wang Clan! "
Old Master Yao said slowly, and an incomparably bright light flashed across his eyes.
"Ah!"
Hearing those words, the old servant, Yao Chun, stared at Old Master Yao in shock. Clearly, he didn't expect Old Master Yao's words.
That person from the Wang Clan had fought with the Old Master ever since they were young. Even though they had been summoned to the Four Quarters Embassy by the Sage Emperor in the depths of the palace and lived next to each other, they had never interacted with one another.
But now, the Old Master actually wanted to head to the residence of that person from the Wang Clan. The old servant was at a loss as to what to say.
"Don't speak any further. Prepare the things for me, I'll be leaving now. "
Old Master Yao looked at his old servant and sighed. He knew that although his old servant was extremely talented in martial arts, he knew nothing about politics.
His second son, Yao Guang Yi, had suffered a crushing defeat by the borders, becoming a laughingstock for everyone. At this moment, it wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to do something or not. Rather, it was a matter of whether the Yao Clan could satisfy the emperor in the royal palace.
If he was still young, he wouldn't have had to lower his head to that old man in the west. But now, for the sake of his descendants, for the sake of the longevity of the Yao Clan, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Peng!
Leaning on his walking stick, Old Master Yao walked out of the gates.
…
At the same time, in another location …
"Take out the name register!"
After leaving the Wang Family Residence, Wang Chong's big uncle, Wang Gen, didn't return to his residence. Instead, he rushed to the Bureau of Military Personnel anxiously.
Wang Chong's second uncle, Wang Gen, was a grade-2 official in the royal court, and he had access to all six documents. How could an official from the Bureau of Military Personnel dare to stop him?
The official on duty rummaged through the thick bookshelf, and soon, he found the name register that Wang Gen wanted.
Without hesitation, Wang Gen took the name register and found his eldest son, Wang Chi's name. But soon, upon seeing the circles on the name register, Wang Gen's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad premonition.
"Apart from me, who else has checked this roster in the past few days?"
Wang Gen asked gravely.
The circles on the name register were clearly the work of others. Wang Gen had only been paying attention to the promotion list of the Bureau of Personnel, but he neglected the fact that Wang Chi belonged to the Bureau of Military Personnel. The Bureau of Military Personnel also had the authority to promote and transfer people.
"In this period of time, Lord Zhang, Lord Pei, Lord Liu, and Lord Yao have all come to take a look. Previously, Lord Yao received an order from His Highness King Qi to pass the promotion list of the Bureau of Military Personnel to him. But for some reason, a few days ago, we received news that we should put it aside and pass it to him after a period of time. "
Shua!
Hearing those words, Wang Chong's big uncle, Wang Gen's face paled. He placed his hands on the table, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Ssss!
Wang Chong's big uncle, Wang Gen, sucked in a deep breath, and for a long time, he was unable to speak. He felt as though he had just escaped from the jaws of a tiger.
He thought that no one would know about the matter regarding his eldest son, Wang Chi, so he secretly slipped it into the promotion list without telling anyone. He thought that he could wait until the very last moment to secretly help Wang Chi get promoted. He didn't expect the Yao Clan to notice it so early on.
If not for Wang Chong's reminder, he might have already sent his own son into the hands of the Yao Clan.
Even though Wang Gen didn't know much about military affairs, he knew that the reason why the Yao Clan had the Bureau of Military Personnel send the name register to them was to transfer their eldest son, Wang Chi, to their camp.
Wang Chi was still young, and given the cunning of the Yao Clan's father and son, they could easily find an excuse to open a gap in Wang Chi and attack the entire Wang Clan.
If that were to happen, it would be too late for him to regret it.
"Li-er, oh, Li-er, I nearly harmed you!"
Wang Gen sighed in relief. If not for Wang Chong's timely reminder, he might have committed a grave mistake.
