Seeing the two golden condors vanish, Wang Chong breathed a sigh of relief. Now, only The King of Song was left. To resolve the problem in the southwest, his father and big brother were far from enough.
The Tang dynasty had an army of twenty to forty thousand soldiers at most, and the soldiers under his father and big brother only numbered in the tens of thousands. They were simply incapable of stopping the combined forces of Mengshe Zhao and Ouzan.
To resolve the problem in the southwest, he would have to go through the Bureau of Military Personnel. However, The Eagle could not help him in this matter. He would have to personally meet with The King of Song and see how he could resolve this matter without incurring the opposition of the Yao Clan and King Qi.
"Alright, let's go!"
Wang Chong stretched his waist, raised his robe, and began to walk forward on the golden tiles. The tiles beneath his feet did not budge in the slightest, as if he were stepping on air.
"Buzz!"
A wave of voices came from all directions. Upon seeing Wang Chong appear at the edge of the building, a wave of greetings immediately came from the courtyard.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
… …
Standing at the edge of the golden arch, Zhang Xuan could see that the Deflecting Blade Manor was bustling with activity. There were cavalry, archers, chess players, drinking wine, drinking tea, frolicking, competing … There was no end to this.
After a winter, Wang Chong's Deflecting Blade Manor had gradually regained its former liveliness. After the opening of the training camp, the first thing that came to mind was Wang Chong's Deflecting Blade Manor.
All sorts of resources were piled up like mountains in the Deflecting Blade Manor. They had all been brought here by the students themselves. The already extravagant Deflecting Blade Manor was now even more extravagant. Even the white jade was inlaid with gold, let alone the others.
The number of people in Deflecting Blade Manor could not compare to the Three Great Training Camps, but it was extremely popular. Most of the students that Wang Chong chose were skilled in a particular field or were talented in a certain aspect.
Thus, it was not wrong to call this place a camp for geniuses. This made Wang Chong's training camp even more popular and attractive.
"Wang Chong! — "
Just as Wang Chong was looking around, a cold voice suddenly came from the Deflecting Blade Manor.
In an instant, the bustling Deflecting Blade Manor fell silent.
In Deflecting Blade Manor, everyone addressed Wang Chong as' young master 'or' Wang Chong gongzi '. Very few people would directly address him as' Wang Chong ', and in such a rude manner.
Wang Chong stood on the corner of the eaves and turned his head to look in the direction of the Chess Hall. In the direction of the Chess Hall, a handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth was standing in the crowd. He was dressed in black, and his eyes were filled with provocation as he looked at Wang Chong.
"It's him!"
The Eagle's eyelids twitched when he saw the unusually handsome young man. This young man had recently become extremely famous in the Deflecting Blade Manor, and he was currently in the limelight.
"Xu Chong, what's the matter?"
Wang Chong stood on the eaves with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his face.
In Deflecting Blade Manor, there were few people who dared to speak to him in such a manner. And in the Chess Hall, other than Xu Chong or the Xu Clan's Xu Yi-qin, there was no one else who dared to speak to him in such a manner.
"Wang Chong, do you dare to have a match with me?"
Xu Chong, or perhaps Xu Yi-qin, proudly raised his head and issued a challenge to Wang Chong.
'Ten years to sharpen a sword', Xu Yi-qin was brimming with confidence. From her, Wang Chong could feel the sharpness of an unsheathed sword.
"Hmph, boring. Young Master, ignore that woman! "
A voice suddenly came from under the roof tiles not far from Wang Chong's feet. It was Miyasame Ayaka's voice. While Xu Yi-qin's cross-dressing might have been able to fool others, it couldn't fool Miyasame Ayaka, who was also a woman.
As an assassin, Miyasame Ayaka's perception was far sharper than that of others.
Back when she left the Wang Clan and entered Deflecting Blade Manor, Miyasame Ayaka had immediately recognized Xu Yi-qin's identity.
"Young Master, that woman is too conceited and disrespectful to young master. Also, she's too rude to Young Master. Do you want me to teach her a lesson or make her disappear? "
Miyasame Ayaka's voice sounded from the gap between the roof tiles.
'Like repels like', and proud women disliked proud women. From the moment she laid eyes on Xu Yi-qin, Miyasame Ayaka didn't have a good impression of her.
"Heh, Ayaka, you're underestimating her. If we were to fight, I'm afraid that you might not be a match for her. "
Wang Chong faintly smiled as he looked down.
"Hmph, young master, are you underestimating me?"
Miyasame Ayaka, who was cowering under the roof tiles, immediately retorted.
Wang Chong chuckled. It wasn't that he was underestimating Miyasame Ayaka. Miyasame Ayaka knew too little about Xu Yi-qin. She only knew that the fellow below was a woman, but she didn't know that the other party was a powerful existence on par with Yi Hou.
It was just that, in order to disguise herself as a man, she had intentionally retracted her aura and concealed her cultivation.
As such, when Wang Chong was with her, he had never once considered using martial arts or anything of the sort. After all, he wasn't a match for her at all.
"No, leave this matter to me. You just have to keep an eye on King Qi's men. "
Wang Chong said calmly.
Even though Miyasame Ayaka's cultivation realm was beneath Xu Yi-qin's, Wang Chong didn't dare to let her give it a try. In Wang Chong's plans, Xu Yi-qin was an important member of his team.
This woman's ability in logistics was simply too formidable, and she was a woman as well. This meant that she was even more meticulous and meticulous.
In the war against the empire, Xu Yi-qin's logistical ability was enough to dominate the world. Even someone as suspicious as King Qi had trusted her and entrusted his logistics to her.
If he had such a talent to assist him, Wang Chong wouldn't have had to lead an army of tens of thousands, starve, and end up at the end of his road.
Now that he was starting all over again, Xu Yi-qin's reputation was still lacking. At the very least, it couldn't be compared to her reputation in his previous life.
Other than him, no one else had realized the astonishing talent that this talented daughter of the Xu Clan possessed.
In order to obtain this woman's help, Wang Chong was willing to spend a great deal of time, energy, and patience to convince her to join him.
"Hu!"
Flinging his robes, Wang Chong suddenly leaped down from the roof. With a few swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh, he immediately appeared in the direction of the Chess Hall.
"Oh!"
"There's going to be a show to watch!"
"Someone actually challenged Young Master! Everyone, let's go take a look!"
… …
The sight of Wang Chong's arrival caused an uproar in Deflecting Blade Manor. A large crowd immediately gathered around him, their faces red and necks flushed. Very few people in Deflecting Blade Manor had ever challenged Wang Chong.
It wasn't just because of Wang Chong's clan, but also because of Wang Chong's own talent. This was the first time someone had publicly challenged Wang Chong.
Following the principle of watching a show, a large crowd quickly gathered in the direction of the Chess Hall.
Just when the crowd was eagerly anticipating the challenge, Wang Chong's reply surprised them.
"Haha, Xu Chong, do you think you can challenge me just because you say so? There's no need for me to agree, right? Didn't I tell you last time? You're not suited for the Chess Hall at all. "
Wang Chong held his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Shua!
With just a few words from Wang Chong, the smug expression on Xu Yi-qin's face immediately turned red, and then purple.
"Bastard!"
Xu Yi-qin's face was completely red, and she was so angry that she was about to explode. She had never been one to lose her composure, but in front of Wang Chong, she couldn't help but lose her cool.
"Wang Chong, are you afraid?"
"Afraid? Hmph, this isn't a question of whether I'm afraid or not. It's just that you don't have the qualifications to challenge me. If I remember correctly, you've already lost three times in a row, right? "
Wang Chong chuckled.
"You!"
Xu Yi-qin flew into a rage, her face turning even redder. She had always been proud, and other than in this shabby Deflecting Blade Manor next to Kunwu Training Camp, she had never suffered such humiliation before.
"I don't easily exchange blows with others. You've already lost three times, so you've already lost the right to challenge me. Nothing can be accomplished without rules and regulations. If everyone behaved like you, wouldn't it be a mess? So, you should go back. "
As Wang Chong spoke, he raised his right hand and flicked his fingers. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Xu Yi-qin was also infuriated. She was also a proud person, and she had never suffered such humiliation before. The more Wang Chong didn't want to fight with her, the more she wanted him to.
"Fine! Don't you not easily exchange blows with others? If you can beat me one more time, I promise you that I'll immediately leave Deflecting Blade Manor and never disturb you again! "
These words were already a great concession from Xu Yi-qin. Given her personality, she would never show such weakness.
"Heh, who wants you to leave? This kind of condition is far too insincere. How about this, you can challenge me as well. If you win, I'll allow you to join Deflecting Blade Manor, and I can even tell everyone that I'm inferior to you. But if you lose … I want you to promise me one thing! "
With his back facing Xu Yi-qin, Wang Chong extended a finger.
"Fine!"
With reddened eyes, Xu Yi-qin agreed without hesitation, her voice resolute and decisive.
"Success!"
Hearing this voice, Wang Chong smiled smugly, and a crafty smile flashed across his eyes. It wasn't easy to get a clever woman like Xu Yi-qin to fall for his trap.
After spending so much time, he had finally succeeded in getting Xu Yi-qin to agree to his request. All that was left was to defeat Xu Yi-qin and have her join him.
This was the most exciting moment he had experienced since the first time Xu Yi-qin had appeared before him.
But just as Wang Chong was feeling excited, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Hmph, Wang Chong, you must think that you've already won, right? Let me tell you, don't celebrate too early. A scholar who has been away for three days must have a whole new level of respect for him. It's still not certain who will emerge victorious! "
Xu Yi-qin suddenly calmed down and sneered at Wang Chong.
She knew what Wang Chong was thinking, but if he thought that he had already won, then he was gravely mistaken. She was no fool. If she didn't have some confidence, she would never have so rashly challenged Wang Chong.
If Wang Chong still thought that he could defeat her as easily as before, she would give him a huge surprise.
"Hehe, is that so? Then I'll be waiting for your performance. "
Wang Chong grinned, a carefree expression on his face.
"Enough! Lad, if you can defeat this lad, I'll definitely reward you handsomely! "
An impatient voice suddenly interjected. Princess Ni Huang had been watching from the back for quite some time now. She wasn't interested in the story between 'men' at all, but as long as she could deal a blow to Wang Chong's pride, she didn't mind supporting his opponent.
Weng!
Upon seeing Princess Ni Huang, the crowd immediately retreated as though they were avoiding a venomous scorpion. In the Deflecting Blade Manor, there were a few people that one couldn't afford to offend, and Princess Ni Huang was one of them.
The greatest lesson they had learned in the Deflecting Blade Manor was to never get too close to Princess Ni Huang.
Upon seeing Princess Ni Huang, Wang Chong could only smile bitterly. On the other hand, Xu Yi-qin's eyes lit up.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Hmph, there's no need to give me face. Give this lad a good beating. I've long found him an eyesore."
Princess Ni Huang pointed a finger at Wang Chong and said rudely.
"Your Highness, rest assured. I'll do my best."
Xu Yi-qin bowed slightly.
However, Princess Ni Huang didn't seem to be in a good mood. After saying those words, without even sparing Xu Yi-qin a glance, she flung her sleeves, turned around, and left with large strides.
She had no interest in watching two grown men play chess. She would wait for the lad to receive some good news before telling her about it!
Xu Yi-qin smiled bitterly.
Having been in the Deflecting Blade Manor for so long, she knew why Princess Ni Huang treated her with such an attitude. However, Princess Ni Huang had misunderstood her.
Just that, she was currently a man, so she couldn't explain this to her.
"Wang Chong, come! This time, I'll make you pay for your arrogance! "
