Ji Ang stuck it on Wang Liangyu for most of the day like a plaster.
Seeing that his day's rest was about to be ruined by him, Wang Liangyu finally couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up Ah Qing in one hand, jumped up, flew several feet into the air, and then flew away like a wild goose. Amidst the exclamations in Luoyi, he floated away.
go.
Ji Ang looked shocked. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and couldn't help but cursed.
It was obvious that Wang Liangyu did not want to communicate more with him, and that such a courteous and virtuous corporal was unpopular with him. This made Ji Ang, who was born noble and arrogant, find it difficult to accept, and he was even more dissatisfied, and could not help but feel resentful.
After a while, when Ji Ang's scolding stopped, the servant behind him, holding a hand full of things, asked carefully: "Prince, what should I do with these things?"
Ji Ang turned around suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, revealing a heart-stopping murderous intent.
The servant couldn't help but kneel on the ground, his face full of fear.
Ji Ang looked at the things scattered on the ground coldly, not paying attention, and then turned to look in the direction where Wang Liangyu disappeared, and a vicious idea suddenly came to his mind.
Wang Liangyu didn't know that Ji Ang had turned from flattering him to resenting him, so he took Ah Qing on an outing outside the city.
The boundless beautiful scenery immediately made the two of them forget their worries for half a day, and they were completely immersed in it.
At noon, he didn't go back to the city and just caught some game. Wang Liangyu took it upon himself to cook a delicious meal according to local conditions.
Ah Qing ate so much that his mouth was full of oil and he was very unhappy.
It was not until evening that Wang Liangyu took Ah Qing back home.
As soon as he entered the manor, Wang Liangyu saw Ji Ren running forward in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face: "Master, why did you come back just now!"
"What happened?" Wang Liangyu was startled and asked in surprise, not minding Ji Ren's tone.
Ji Ren nodded and then explained: "Master, your story has been exposed. Now I don't know how many nobles and rich people are looking for you!" After a pause, he added, "This is just Luoyi, I guess.
, in a few days, all the princes will probably take notice of it and take action!"
Wang Liangyu was stunned when he heard this, pointed to his nose, and asked with confusion on his face: "What are you looking for me for?"
"Master, the news that papermaking, printing, iron smelting and other technologies all originated from you has spread!" Ji Ren cried sadly, with panic in his eyes. "No one wants so many epoch-making technologies.
!”
The Zhou royal family took advantage of the opportunity to respect the king and resist the barbarians, win over a group of princes, and suppress a group of princes, but it also offended some princes. These princes did not get the benefits of technological progress, and none of them would be greedy. If it were not for the help of the alliance princes, these princes would
The princes have already attacked Luoyi.
Wang Liangyu frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face: "These things have been around for so long, you should know them all, right?"
With the awareness of secrecy in this era, Wang Liangyu had no hope at all. Even though he had already warned Ji Ren to keep it secret, this kind of thing could not withstand scrutiny. Ji Ang was no more than an ordinary prince of Zheng Guo, so he could guess that Wang Liangyu, the man behind the scenes,
out, let alone others!
However, papermaking and printing have been around for a long time. Even if Ji Ren takes all precautions, they are not sophisticated and difficult technologies. They can be copied by mastering some technical details, but the final product will be slightly different.
.
Therefore, no one paid much attention to Wang Liangyu, the "inventor".
Ji Ren smiled and nodded, and explained: "It is now said outside that Master is a born saint with God-given wisdom. His papermaking skills and printing skills are no more than minor skills. They say that you have more secret magic and magic." As he spoke,
, raised his head again and looked at Wang Liangyu expectantly, "Master, are these rumors true?"
As papermaking and printing spread more and more widely, the technological advantages of the Zhou royal family are gradually disintegrating, and the alliance of princes is also in some turmoil. Ji Ren urgently needs more powerful secret magic to maintain the technological advantage and alliance of princes.
Therefore, Ji Ren hopes that the rumors are true more than anyone else.
Wang Liangyu was startled when he heard this, a little confused. What kind of trick is this? Is it flattery?
However, what Wang Liangyu is more concerned about is why such rumors leaked out? Who did it? What is his purpose?
Looking at Wang Liangyu who was deep in thought, Ji Ren did not dare to disturb him and stood aside cautiously, with a look of expectation on his slightly tired face.
After a long time, Wang Liangyu thought about it, looked at Ji Ren, and asked meaningfully: "Do you believe it?"
"letter!"
Ji Ren nodded without hesitation and looked at Wang Liangyu with sincere and intense eyes.
Wang Liangyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and cursed angrily: "Do you believe these nonsense?" Then he asked curiously, "Tell me, where did this rumor come from?
"
Ji Ren is the prince of the Zhou royal family, and now with the help of Wang Liangyu, his status in the Zhou royal family is increasing day by day. There are people from all over Luoyi who have his people. It is extremely easy to investigate a rumor case.
As expected by Wang Liangyu, Ji Ren heard the words and immediately replied: "Ji Ang, Prince of Zheng." After a pause, he continued to explain, "Master had contact with him during the day, and later his servants were in the city.
Spread the word about you.”
"Ji Ang?" Wang Liangyu was slightly cold, but he reacted in a flash and connected this name with the shameless young man in the daytime: "It turns out that his name is Ji Ang!"
Having said that, Wang Liangyu instantly realized that this Ji Ang’s rumors were aimed at me and wanted to take revenge on myself!
When the rumor spread, Ji Ren believed it, the nobles and wealthy officials in Luoyi City believed it, and the princes of Kyushu believed it.
For the sake of the secret magic, these people will not let him go, and will definitely fight for him in every possible way. In the end, if he cannot produce the secret magic, he will probably be torn apart by the angry people!
What a vicious thought!
Wang Liangyu cursed Ji Ang silently, and then a strange look appeared on his face, and he thought: "It's just that you probably didn't expect that I really have skills!"
Although Wang Liangyu was going through thousands of times in his mind, his face remained calm. He looked at Ji Ren with a smile and asked, "Since you know that Ji Ang spread the rumor, how could you believe it so easily?"
"Because, it's Master!" Ji Ren stared at Wang Liangyu and replied matter-of-factly.
Wang Liangyu couldn't help but roll his eyes again. This guy was already stunned by his own feeding. No matter how outrageous things happened to him, they became very normal in his eyes.
After taking a breath, Wang Liangyu looked at Ji Ren, rubbed his eyebrows and reminded: "If it is true, what do you decide to do?"
"Of course we should follow the previous method, continue to maintain technological advantages and maintain the alliance of princes!" Ji Ren replied directly without thinking.
Wang Liangyu looked Ji Ren up and down and said angrily: "Why do you?" Then he reminded, "Whether it is the Zhou royal family's alliance princes or other princes, they will not miss this opportunity to upgrade their technology.
!”
Ji Ren looked surprised, looked at Wang Liangyu with resentment, and whispered: "Is Master going to abandon Ren?"
Wang Liangyu was so angry that Ji Ren was not angry to death. He glared at Ji Ren fiercely and cursed: "The key to the problem is not me, but whether the Zhou royal family can maintain its technology?" As he spoke, he raised his voice and asked sternly,
"Can you?"
Ji Ren seemed to understand, and shook his head slowly, with a trace of unwillingness on his face, and asked: "Can't we win over some people and suppress others like before?"
Wang Liangyu shook his head with a wry smile and explained: "The reason why it was possible before was because the princes were not clear about the situation and you took the opportunity." As he said, he sighed again with a helpless expression, "But, the current situation is
, as everyone knows, it will be difficult for you to play He Zong Lian Heng. Instead of cooperating with the Zhou royal family alliance, why don't they just grab the technology directly? Isn't this more delicious!"
To put it bluntly, the time is still too short.
It had only been more than half a year. The Zhou royal family had just shaken off its decline and was beginning to show signs of revival, but it was still difficult to compete with the princes of Kyushu.
Hearing this, Ji Ren couldn't help but feel a little depressed, with a bitter look on his face: "So, now I can only assume that the rumors are false. Master does not have any secret magic, right?"
"The problem is, everyone believes it!" Wang Liangyu smiled bitterly, his face slightly gloomy.
This is what makes Ji Ang disgusting.
Regardless of whether he has the so-called secret magic or not, he will still face the pursuit of the princes of the Nine Provinces.
But the pursuit of the princes of the Nine Provinces is not the key. What really makes Wang Liangyu feel more embarrassed is the choice of the Zhou royal family and the princes.
If you choose to hand over the technology to the Zhou royal family, the Zhou royal family will face persecution and even conquest from the princes of the nine states.
If you choose to hand over technology to the princes, the power of the princes will skyrocket, and the Zhou royal family will have no chance of rising and reviving.
No matter which choice is made, the Zhou royal family will be the loser.
Ji Ren realized something and looked at Wang Liangyu with eyes full of worry and nervousness.
Wang Liangyu reached out and patted Ji Ren's shoulder, smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, I have my own plans as a teacher!"
"Master, you don't want to leave, do you?" Ji Ren thought and blurted out, asking.
Wang Liangyu hesitated, but he didn't expect that Ji Ren could guess his plan.
Indeed, leaving Luoyi is the best way to preserve the Zhou royal family.
Seeing that Wang Liangyu didn't refute, Ji Ren's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he shouted angrily and unwillingly: "Master, I will never let them succeed!"
Wang Liangyu heard the protective meaning in Ji Ren's words, smiled and shook his head: "It's not necessary, this will only harm you and the Zhou royal family!" After a pause, he continued, "Besides, I
I’ve stayed in Luoyi for long enough, and it’s really time to continue my journey around Kyushu!”
Ji Ren opened his mouth to say more, but Wang Liangyu raised his hand to stop him.
"No need to talk nonsense, imagine yourself and your ambition to revive the Zhou Dynasty!" Wang Liangyu looked at Ji Ren and warned in a solemn voice, "Don't worry about me. If I don't get what they want, I won't be in danger."
