Duan Jianwei had long expected the anger of Cuan Chongdao and his son. This was also a key factor in the success of his plan, which was to use Cuan Chongdao and his son to create internal strife in Cuandi.
Duan Jianwei put on an innocent expression and said softly, "Great Ghost Lord, please don't be angry. Please listen to my explanation."
"The princess has already married that silly boy. What's there to explain?"
Cuan Fuchao was still angry.
Cuan Chongdao glared at his son and scolded, "Fu Dynasty, don't be rude. Mr. Duan, please continue."
Duan Jianwei smiled and explained, "Great Ghost Lord, you may not know that there are often rebellions in Nanzhao by the remnants of the Five Zhao. The Emperor is busy dealing with these matters every day and does not know much about Cuandi. He only knows that King Cuangui is the leader of Cuandi and has the highest prestige and seniority. Therefore, he has long wanted to marry King Cuangui and asked me to come to Cuandi to persuade them to surrender. At the same time, I also want to know another prestigious person in Cuandi so that Nanzhao and Cuandi can become one family by marriage."
"Mr. Duan, you mean that I, Cuan Chongdao, am not as good as Cuan Rijin?"
Cuan Chongdao looked unconvinced.
Duan Jianwei smiled sadly and shook his head. "As far as I know, Great Ghost Lord's prestige is only second to King Cuangui."
"Since my father's prestige is second, why did Nanzhao's princess marry Cuan Rijin's silly son? Why?"
Cuan Fuchao could not suppress his anger and pointed at Duan Jianwei angrily.
Cuan Chongdao also looked at Duan Jianwei suspiciously, trying to find the answer he wanted from Duan Jianwei's eyes.
Duan Jianwei sneered and looked at Cuan Fuchao, "Great Ghost Lord, this must be your young master, Cuan Fuchao."
"That's my son."
Duan Jianwei shook his head and said softly, "He is indeed hot-tempered. It seems that King Cuangui was right."
"What did King Cuangui say?"
Cuan Fuchao and Cuan Chongdao looked at Duan Jianwei at the same time, their eyes filled with urgency.
Duan Jianwei pretended to have a lot of doubts. He paused and said softly, "I once discussed with King Cuangui about the marriage of the princess and said that the other princess would be married to the son of the Great Ghost Lord. King Cuangui was a little drunk at that time and spoke without thinking. He said that the son of the Great Ghost Lord, Cuan Fuchao, had a bad temper and was extremely impulsive. Once the princess married him, it would be like falling into a fire pit. Oh right, he also wrote a letter and asked me to give it to the Imperial Majesty."
"What did he write?"
"It's a letter to the Imperial Majesty. I'm not too sure."
Cuan Fuchao was furious. He slammed the table in front of him and looked at Cuan Chongdao, "Father, it must be that old bastard King Cuangui who is playing tricks. He just doesn't want us to live well."
"Shut up."
"Father, can't you see? King Cuangui went to Kun Province to pick up the bride. When he went there, he quietly bypassed Weizhou. When he came back, he also quietly passed through without even saying goodbye. Don't you think he's guilty? That's right. King Cuangui must be guilty. Otherwise, why would he keep hiding from us? He wasn't like this before."
Cuan Fuchao was so angry that he couldn't control his emotions.
"How dare you! Mister Duan is still here. Don't be rude."
Cuan Chongdao scolded.
Duan Jianwei chuckled and waved his hand, "It's okay. It's okay for young people to be a little hot-tempered. However, you're all family. Don't hurt the harmony because of some small things."
"A real man doesn't have to worry about not having a wife. Although my son is not a great hero, there are thousands of daughters who want to marry him."
Cuan Chongdao shouted with a proud face.
"I'm relieved that the Great Ghost Lord thinks so. Oh, by the way, I still have to go to Qiu Province and Lizhou Province. I also have a few gifts to give to Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi."
Duan Jianwei chuckled and was about to leave.
Cuan Chongdao didn't ask him to stay. He said expressionlessly, "Men, send Mister Duan out."
"No, no, I'll take my leave."
Duan Jianwei lightly turned around and left while a trace of an imperceptible cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"Father, King Cuangui must be the one who messed up my marriage. I hate that I can't kill him with my own hands."
Cuan Fuchao said bitterly after Duan Jianwei left.
Cuan Chongdao frowned and said indifferently, "Do you really think King Cuangui is behind this?"
"Father, who else could it be other than King Cuangui? That old bastard has always been at odds with you. He's just worried that you'll continue to grow and surpass him in strength and prestige."
Cuan Fuchao said with certainty.
Cuan Chongdao nodded gently, "Your analysis is very reasonable. King Cuangui is an old fox. He's been going against me in the open and in the dark. I've long wanted to deal with him. However, Duan Jianwei is not simple. I can't see through him. Who knows if this is his scheme?"
"Father, you think it's Duan Jianwei's scheme, but I don't think we should care about it. No matter what, King Cuangui will be a disaster sooner or later. If we want to dominate the land of Liangcuan, we must get rid of that old dog."
Cuan Fuchao didn't think too deeply about the problem. He just wanted to get rid of King Cuangui and vent his anger for himself. He completely believed Duan Jianwei's words and felt that his marriage was ruined by King Cuangui.
"Father is a little confused. You can leave first."
"Yes, father."
Cuan Chongdao was carefully thinking about the cause and effect of the matter. He wanted to find an unreasonable flaw in it and expose Duan Jianwei's scheme.
However, his enmity with King Cuangui was too deep, and there was hatred in his heart. Because of this, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was no flaw. He was certain that his son's marriage had been ruined by King Cuangui, and King Cuangui's goal in doing this was to attack him and prevent his prestige from increasing after the marriage with Nanzhao and becoming a threat to King Cuangui.
"Old man, I, Cuan Chongdao, will take your head."
Cuan Chongdao was furious. He slammed the table fiercely. He secretly made up his mind to get rid of King Cuangui.
One day later, Cuan Qi, the Provincial Governor of Lizhou, and Cuan Shouyi, the Provincial Governor of Qiu Province, arrived in Weizhou with a group of less than a hundred people.
They were invited by Cuan Chongdao to meet. The two of them had a good relationship with Cuan Chongdao and could be considered close friends.
"Father, Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi are here."
Cuan Fuchao reported.
"That's great. Let's go and welcome them."
Cuan Chongdao was very happy. He brought his son and Cuan Fuchao out of the mansion to welcome them.
"Big Brother Chongdao, we're here. Hahaha."
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi bowed to Cuan Chongdao together.
"It's good that you're here. Please come in."
Cuan Chongdao was very enthusiastic and invited the two brothers into the mansion.
"Big Brother Chongdao, we received the blood pearls from Duan Jianwei last night. You received them too, right?"
Cuan Qi casually asked.
"I received them. Haha."
Cuan Chongdao's expression was a little lonely.
Cuan Shouyi said, "Big Brother Chongdao, we already know about the matter of the two Nanzhao princesses. This is really unfair. Big Brother's prestige is not inferior to King Cuangui, but you received the same treatment as us. It's too unfair."
"Nephew Fuchao, we always thought that you would marry the Nanzhao princesses. We were planning to attend the wedding banquet, but we didn't expect that …"
Cuan Qi also said.
Cuan Fuchao was provoked by these words. The anger in his heart suddenly surged. He said loudly, "Uncles, you might not know, but my marriage was ruined by that old bastard King Cuangui."
"King Cuangui ruined my nephew's marriage. What is going on?"
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi were immediately puzzled. They did not understand what had happened.
Cuan Fuchao recounted what had happened word by word, adding oil and vinegar to the story.
"Ah, so that's what happened. As an elder, King Cuangui is really not kind to do this."
"Big Brother Chongdao, let's go to Nanning Province and ask for an explanation for nephew Fuchao."
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi were furious when they heard this.
Cuan Fuchao sneered. "Uncles, the Nanzhao princesses are already married. What's the use of asking for an explanation now? Will King Cuangui give his daughter-in-law to me?"
"That's true. Nephew, you can only swallow this anger."
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi both looked helpless.
"If I swallow this anger, am I still Cuan Fuchao? Am I, Cuan Fuchao, a person who will swallow this anger?"
Cuan Fuchao's face was full of hatred.
"Nephew, what do you plan to do?"
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi were both shocked and turned to look at Cuan Chongdao.
Cuan Chongdao was expressionless, as if he wanted to play the leading role.
Cuan Fuchao sighed, looked at Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi, and said seriously, "Uncles, it's not a big deal for me to be humiliated, but King Cuangui, this old thief, often uses his seniority to suppress us. Do you plan to endure it forever?"
"Nephew, what do you plan to do?"
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi both had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Cuan Fuchao said seriously, "Taking advantage of King Cuangui's wedding day for his son, we'll join forces to launch a surprise attack and kill this old thief's family."
"What, kill King Cuangui?"
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi did not think this and felt a wave of panic.
Cuan Fuchao continued, "Not only do we have to kill King Cuangui, but we also have to kill Cuan Rijin's family. This Cuan Rijin has always been in cahoots with King Cuangui, so we can't let him live."
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi heard this and looked at Cuan Chongdao. Seeing Cuan Chongdao's expressionless face, they immediately understood that this was a premeditated operation, and if the two of them dared to say no, their heads would roll.
Cuan Qi was the first to speak, "Big Brother Chong Dao, King Cuangui is heartless, so you can't blame us for being unrighteous. I'm willing to lead the troops and work together with Big Brother to kill King Cuangui."
"Big Brother Chong Dao, I'll return to Qiuzhou to gather the troops and work together with Big Brother to kill King Cuangui and Cuan Rijin."
Cuan Shouyi also spoke loudly.
Cuan Chongdao's mouth twitched as he looked at the two, "Brothers, it's rare for you to come here, so don't leave. Have a good chat with Big Brother. Let my trusted subordinates gather the troops."
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi heard this and immediately understood that they were under house arrest. If they wanted to keep their lives, they could only obey Cuan Chongdao's arrangements and obediently stay in Cuan Chongdao's mansion.
"Since Big Brother Chong Dao has said so, then we'll stay and have a good chat with Big Brother."
Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi had no choice but to board Cuan Chongdao's pirate ship.
That evening, Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi's troops gradually gathered and headed straight for Weizhou City.
In the wee hours of the morning, the two troops arrived at Weizhou City and were immediately divided by Cuan Fuchao. Like this, Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi's troops had no choice but to obey Cuan Fuchao's orders. The three troops were mixed together and supervised each other so that no one could cause trouble.
"Father, the troops from Lizhou and Qiuzhou have arrived and have been divided by me into our army."
Cuan Fuchao happily reported the situation to his father.
Cuan Chongdao looked at Cuan Fuchao with admiration and encouraged, "My son is indeed daring. The entire Cuan Land will be yours sooner or later."
"Father, you want me to rule the entire Cuan Land?"
Cuan Fuchao was greatly shocked.
Cuan Chongdao lightly nodded. "Correct. With our current strength and the troops from Qiuzhou and Lizhou, as long as we completely destroy Cuan Gui Wang and Cuan Rijin, no one in the entire Cuan Land can oppose us."
"Father's wise views are far from your child's."
Cuan Chongdao chuckled, his eyes shining. "What kind of thing is Piluoge? A few years ago, he was just a small Imperial Lord of Mengshe Zhao. It was only with the help of the Tang dynasty that he was able to sweep through the Five Zhao and establish the Six Zhao united Nanzhao Kingdom. If we sweep through the tyrants of the Cuan Land and establish the Great Cuan Kingdom, our strength will not lose to Nanzhao."
"Father, your child is willing to assist Father with all his strength to establish the Great Cuan Kingdom."
Cuan Fuchao also had an excited expression.
Cuan Chongdao patted his son on the shoulder and ordered, "Have everyone prepare. We will begin the operation at dusk today."
"Yes, Father. Your child will go prepare."
Cuan Fuchao confidently went to prepare.
Cuan Chongdao looked up at the sky and sneered, muttering to himself, "Duan Jianwei, no matter what kind of scheme you have, as long as I, Cuan Chongdao, unify the Cuan Land, Piluoge can do nothing to me."
That evening, Cuan Chongdao held Cuan Qi and Cuan Shouyi hostage and led 20,000 soldiers to launch a surprise attack on Cuan Gui Wang, the governor of Nanning Province. In addition, Cuan Fuchao led 6,000 soldiers to launch a surprise attack on Kun Province City, preparing to wipe out the forces of Cuan Gui Wang and Cuan Rijin in one fell swoop.
In Nanning Province, the wedding of Cuan Shouyu, the son of Cuan Gui Wang, and the Princess of Nanzhao was being held. Unlike Cuan Rijin who was anxious, Cuan Gui Wang chose a good day for his son. Of course, he also chose a good day for himself because he had taken a fancy to the Princess of Nanzhao. This guy was the same as the Emperor of the Tang dynasty, Li Longji, who had the habit of snatching daughters-in-law.
In the hall, the groom, Cuan Shouyu, was greeting the invited guests. After drinking bowl after bowl of wine, he was in a daze and walked unsteadily. However, this was his big day, so he had to drink more and be happy.
The bride stayed in the room obediently with a red veil on her head, waiting for her husband to unveil it.
"All of you, leave."
Cuan Gui Wang walked into the bride's room excitedly and drove the servants away.
The servants did not dare to disobey Cuan Gui Wang's order and left one after another.
