Moreover, the world had changed. At a time like this, Wang Chong needed the help of his family, his second brother Wang Bei, even more.
His second brother had to know that there were some matters even more important than the Berserker Syndrome!
"Second Brother, don't deceive yourself. You know that the Berserker Syndrome can sense each other. When I first entered the capital, you already knew. This is why you avoided me and hid in the Death Prison of the Imperial Palace. "
Wang Chong sighed. How could his second brother's thoughts be hidden from him? But even though he had guessed at his second brother's thoughts, Wang Chong's eyes showed no satisfaction, only bitterness.
"But Second Brother, there are some things that can't be avoided."
As Wang Chong spoke, he leaned his back against the wall and slowly sat down. Whether or not his second brother would listen, there were some things that Wang Chong had to say. At the very least, he had to try one last time.
In the prison, Wang Bei's entire body was trembling, seemingly completely immersed in his own world and hearing nothing. But Wang Chong knew that the other party had heard every single word he had said.
Because this was his brother. This was his second brother.
He might not necessarily respond, but he would definitely hear and help him.
"Big Brother, did you know? I've been made a marquis, and His Majesty personally made me the Young Marquis. In the history of the Tang Dynasty, the Sage King personally made me a marquis.
This is probably the only time in the history of the Tang Dynasty that the Sage King personally made me a marquis. "
"In addition, Father and Big Brother have also been rewarded, their statuses greatly elevated. In the future, they will assuredly be promoted step by step in the army. Your Wang Clan is certain to enjoy limitless glory, like the noon sun. Even King Qi will not dare to act as he did in the past and recklessly deal with me. "
The prison was still quiet, with only Wang Chong's voice. But at some point, Wang Bei, whose body had been trembling in pain, had calmed down.
Although there was still no response, he was no longer as agitated as before, his entire body much calmer.
However, what Wang Chong was about to say next was obviously not what he had imagined.
"But Big Brother, did you know? Right now, everyone in the capital is envious of the limitless glory, but Second Brother, did you know? Father, Big Brother, and I almost died on Mount Yuan Feng in the southwest, never to return."
As Wang Chong spoke, he turned his head to look at his second brother, Wang Chong, who was in the cell. Seeing his second brother's body visibly tremble, Wang Chong smiled and continued.
"I know what you're thinking. I know you don't want to hurt us when the Berserker Syndrome breaks out. But do you know that even if you lock yourself up in this prison in the palace, it won't change anything? "
"If Big Brother, Father, and I are destined to die, we will still die in the end. The only difference is whether you kill us or not. But for us, is there any difference? "
"The southwest … what in the world happened?"
A voice suddenly rang out from the cell, interrupting Wang Chong's words. Although Wang Bei still had his back to Wang Chong, this was the first time Wang Chong had taken the initiative to ask a question.
Wang Chong grinned. Without hiding anything, he gave a detailed account of the southwestern war. As a descendant of the Wang Clan, his second brother also had the right to know these things.
The entire southwestern war, from the departure, to the first melee, to the final decisive battle, had been filled with countless twists and turns. As one of the main participants and decision-makers in this war, Wang Chong's narration of this war that had affected countless people in the world was far more detailed and soul-stirring than anyone else's.
Outsiders could only see one side of the glory, but beneath that calm surface, the turbulent undercurrents and waves were far fiercer and more dangerous than anyone could imagine.
Wang Chong spoke of many, many things. This was probably the most detailed account of the southwest, and the number of people in the entire Tang Dynasty who could hear such an account was few and far between.
On the other side, in the cell, Wang Bei said nothing, nor did she show any expression or movement. But Wang Chong knew that she was definitely listening, listening more carefully than anyone else.
"Second Brother, everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the world. Our Wang Clan is a clan of ministers and generals, so we naturally bear more responsibility than anyone else. If even we do not do our utmost, what hope does the empire have to speak of?
"When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain unscathed. You have also seen the crisis of the empire this time. The Tang Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty of the past, and the foreign countries are no longer the foreign countries of the past.
"The world has already changed. Beneath this calm surface, there are already turbulent undercurrents. I hope that this is not the first time, and certainly not the last. This time, we were lucky enough to defeat the Mengshe – Ü-Tsang army, but what about next time, and the time after that? What if all the foreign countries on the border of the Tang Dynasty join together?
"At that time, will we still be so lucky?
"Second Brother, my strength alone is too weak. I want to do some things, to change some things, but there are some things that I cannot bear alone.
"In this world, there are some things that are more important than the Berserker Syndrome.
"Second Brother, I need your help."
After saying these words, Wang Chong gave a deep sigh and stood up. Whether or not his second brother would listen, he had already said what needed to be said.
What came next was not for him to decide.
"Second Brother, in this world, there are some things that are more important than the Berserker Syndrome. The Berserker Syndrome is only a curse on the body, not the soul. Don't let your mind be controlled by your body. "
After saying these words, Wang Chong stood up and left.
The prison behind him fell into a long, deathly silence. Wang Bei sat there alone, not saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking.
… …
At night, the capital was quiet, with only the sound of the night watchman and the patrolling of the city guards and Imperial Army. The Wang Clan Residence was dotted with red lanterns, like the sparks in the sky.
In the four corners of the Wang Clan Residence, no one had noticed that early in the morning, black-robed men had suddenly appeared on the roofs of the Wang Clan Residence.
"It's about time!"
"We can summon Lu Wu now!"
"Remember, don't let anyone from the Wang Clan escape. In addition, if the Imperial Army and night watchman come, kill them! Don't let them get in the way! "
… …
The group of black-robed men stared at the Wang Clan Residence in the center. It was quiet there, the red lanterns hanging from the eaves making the place seem even more serene and peaceful.
It was already deep into the night. At this time, the maids and servants of the Wang Clan had all fallen into a deep sleep. Even the guards had gone to bed, and the few patrolling guards were no longer a threat.
This was the best chance to strike.
"Buzz!"
A group of black-robed men sat cross-legged on the eaves of the Wang Clan Residence, their ten fingers rapidly forming hand seals. In the next moment, looking down from the sky, one could see dark beams of light suddenly shooting out from one of the black-robed men to another. In the blink of an eye, an invisible and bizarre formation had enveloped the entire Wang Clan Residence.
Weng! In the darkness of the night, no one noticed that an enormous dome of light, pitch-black beyond compare, suddenly rose up from the four corners of the Wang Clan Residence. Finally, it completely enveloped the Wang Clan Residence.
If one looked up from the inside, one would see that the sky above the Wang Clan Residence had darkened, but no one had noticed.
As the darkness deepened, an invisible and bizarre atmosphere began to spread through the air, growing more and more uneasy.
Kacha!
The ground of a pavilion in the northeast corner of the Wang Clan Residence suddenly split open, and a massive sound came from underground.
"Who is it?"
"Who is it? Where is it?"
… …
Several Wang Family guards heard the noise and quickly flew over. However, before the two of them could react, peng, peng, two arms as thick as a grown man's thighs and as hard as iron drilled out from the ground, grabbing their ankles.
"Ah!"
There was a shrill scream as their clothes and even their Stellar Energy began to burn. Blazing flames gushed out of their eyes, mouths, and ears.
In the blink of an eye, the two Wang Clan guards had been burnt to a crisp, turning into thousands of black particles that scattered into the air.
Rumble! The earth split open, and the two thick, steel-like arms pushed outwards, completely parting the ground around the pavilion like a wave.
"Ahhh!"
A bestial roar came from underground, and a strange, giant-like figure rose up from the ground. His body was incomparably huge. His two arms were like the thighs of an adult, and his two thighs were like two huge stone pillars. Standing there, he was 2.7 meters tall, much taller than the Invincible General Li Siye.
"Kill!"
The giant roared, and his entire body exploded with the brutal and vicious energy of a primordial beast. Boom! It was only a single punch, and before his fist could even touch it, the pavilion that was a few steps away was immediately shattered into pieces by an invisible force.
And those wooden fragments seemed to be ignited by something, burning fiercely, and the flames soared dozens of feet into the air.
"Kill! Kill everyone! "
The giant roared, his eyes glowing red as he repeated the same words over and over again. Waves of intense killing intent condensed into a tangible substance, and even the surrounding space began to distort.
Bang! Bang!
The giant's gaze swept around, and he quickly set his sights on a brightly lit study in the distance. He strode over. In the darkness of the night, that study was particularly eye-catching. To the giant, it was like a beacon pointing the way.
"Ha!"
"Who is it? How dare you come to the Wang Clan and cause trouble! "
