After Jiang Wang uncovered Zheng Shangming who was following him, he did not boast that he had handled the matter perfectly. Instead, he communicated with Chong Xuansheng as soon as possible after returning home.
Zhongxuansheng understood Wen Lianmu's plan on the spot and rushed to Beiya to tell Qing's interests in person. Only then did Zheng Shi take action in time.
Zheng Shi didn't even have time to change into his official uniform, so he rushed to the Grand Marshal's Mansion in person and brought Zheng Shangming back intact.
Wang Yiwu made an enmity with the captain of Bei Ya in vain, but he did not achieve the set goal. It can be said that he stole the chicken but lost the rice.
Zheng Shi led Zheng Shangming directly back to the inspection office in the north of the city. The reason why he did not let his son go home first was because he wanted him to say thank you to Chongxuan Sheng and make friends with him.
After this incident, he was naturally dissatisfied with Wang Yiwu, but if he really wanted to face the Generalissimo's Mansion head-on, it didn't seem to be that point. After all, Zheng Shangming came back intact, and Jiang Mengxiong, who was behind Wang Yiwu, was
The whole country regards him as a military god.
He had the embarrassment of being the Captain of Bei Ya, so his attitude toward Chong Xuan Sheng was actually somewhat contradictory. On the one hand, he was grateful, but on the other hand, he was a dignified Captain of Bei Ya, and he actually ended up participating in Chong Xuan Sheng.
The confrontation between Sheng and Wang Yiwu?
Zheng Shangming, who is of the same generation as them, is undoubtedly a good buffer. No matter what Zheng Shangming does, as a father, he still has room to cover up.
After making careful plans, he returned to the inspection house, but the inspection soldier informed Zheng Shi that Zhong Xuansheng and him had left immediately without waiting at the inspection house to claim credit.
"What did he say when he left?" Zheng Shi asked.
The patrolling soldier replied: "Master Sheng said, it's a trivial matter, don't worry about it! What else can you say, he is not trying to help others, but to help himself."
This is really said openly.
Zheng Shi touched it for a while and then looked at his son without saying anything else.
…
The Generalissimo's Mansion.
Faced with Wang Yiwu's question, why could Zheng Shi arrive in time to prevent them from using Zheng Shangming as a bargaining chip to borrow Beiya's power?
Wen Lianmu could only reply with a bitter smile: "I think Zhongxuan Sheng must still be in Beiya by this time."
Wang Yiwu understood the meaning of this wry smile.
Chong Xuan Sheng's sense of conspiracy is too keen! He is so slippery that he cannot get involved in any scheme.
And it is obvious that he also knows enough about Zheng Shangming, as good as Wen Lianmu. Only in this way can he understand his plan in time.
If he were in a different place, he thought he would never be able to deal with it so quickly.
The reason why I don't think it was Jiang Wang who thought of this step is because if Jiang Wang could have thought of it, he would not have let Zheng Shangming go at all, let alone give Zheng Shangming the opportunity to come to the Generalissimo's Mansion and throw himself into a trap.
The first time Wen Lianmu's scheme against Zhongxuan Sheng failed, he even made a point of being sarcastic. This was because he had considerable confidence in Wen Lianmu at the time and didn't think a temporary defeat was a big deal.
This time the loss was more serious, but he didn't feel any resentment at all. He just asked: "What other plans do you have?"
Wen Lianmu wiped away his bitter smile. His eyes were not depressed, but rather full of energy. He really liked this feeling of fighting with others.
This makes him passionate.
"I'll let you offend everyone!"
Wang Yiwu didn't even bat an eyelid: "If you offend me, I'll offend you. There's no such thing as a great person."
This is true for both Bao Zhongqing and Zheng Shi. The former is far from his opponent, and the latter will be surpassed by him sooner or later.
Wen Lianmu chuckled: "Fishing is no longer feasible. He can always eat the bait but not bite the hook. To catch this fat fish, it is better to just dig a dike, release water, and dry the pond!"
"Conspiracy is useless, use conspiracy!"
"How to dig embankments, release water, and dry ponds?" Wang Yiwu asked.
"From the research on Chong Xuan Sheng during this period, we can know that the people he trusts most now are his personal sworn soldiers, Fourteen. The other is Jiang Wang, who is said to come from Zhuang State in the Western Territory. It can be said that he is
His right-hand man."
All the information was in his mind. Wen Lianmu didn't need to think about it and said directly: "I found a very interesting detail. When Jiang Wang participated in the Tianfu Secret Realm, his hair was still white, but now it has returned to black. Again.
Relevant to Zhong Xuan Sheng’s fight for the longevity fruit during that time, it can be easily concluded that Jiang Wang once suffered from a loss in longevity for some reason!”
Wang Yiwu studied under the military god Jiang Mengxiong. Naturally, he was very aware of the negative impact of longevity loss on his practice: "It is not easy for him to achieve the strength he has now. It shows his diligence."
For Wang Yiwu, this is a rare evaluation.
Of course Jiang Wang may not need it.
"And I also discovered that Chongxuan Sheng is now collecting treasures to increase longevity. Chu Liang does not need Chongxuan, and Bowang Hou no longer needs it. Then there is only one possibility. He is preparing it for Jiang Wang. It is very difficult to
Maybe Jiang Wang’s lifespan has not yet been filled up.”
Wang Yiwu asked: "What can be used in this?"
"The Qixing Building in Daze County will be opened," Wen Lianmu said.
"It doesn't mean anything to me." Wang Yiwu paused and asked, "Do you want to go?"
If Wen Lianmu really wanted to go to the Seven Star Tower, he would have no choice but to put this matter aside and go on the defensive.
To this day, no matter how proud he is, he still doesn't think he can defeat Zhongxuan Sheng without using force. However, Linzi is not a military camp or a battlefield. It is not a simple city either. He is trapped like a dragon and is awkward everywhere.
.
Wen Lianmu shook his head and said: "There are treasures in it that can increase longevity."
Wang Yiwu frowned and said, "I haven't heard the news."
"You will hear about it soon." Wen Lianmu smiled and added: "Same goes for Chongxuan Sheng."
Wang Yiwu understood that Wen Lianmu wanted to get rid of Jiang Wang and directly cut off Zhongxuansheng's right-hand man, leaving Zhongxuansheng alone.
This news may not be true, but Wen Lianmu can certainly do it to make people believe it.
Seeing Wang Yiwu's understanding, Wen Lianmu added: "Only you and Chongxuan Sheng can know this news. Jiang Wang has no way of knowing it on his own."
"Have you reached a cooperation with the Tian family?"
It would be impossible to control the news about Qixing Tower to the extent expected without the support of the Tian family.
"He's not giving me face, he's giving you, Wang Yiwu, face." Wen Lianmu said.
But he didn't say who that "he" was.
Wang Yiwu only asked: "If Zhong Xuansheng knew the news and kept Jiang Wang in Linzi to help him at such a critical time and kept it secret, you have already thought about how to let Jiang Wang know without leaving any trace, right?"
Wen Lianmu did not deny: "It is impossible for him not to have a grudge when it comes to his own path. It would be better to make them feel dissatisfied than to get rid of him directly. Of course, if Chong Xuan Sheng tells the truth, Jiang Wang will go to great lengths. Zejun is also the result we want."
…
Xiashan Beppu.
Because Jiang Wang refused to go out to play with him, Xu Xianggan pestered him for a while to no avail, and then went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Chengcheng, saying that he was looking for Li Longchuan.
Of course, there may not necessarily be reasons for not wanting to delve deeper into the competition between Chongxuansheng and Chongxuanzun. After all, they had just arrived at Xiashan Villa when they saw Chongxuansheng raising an army and mobilizing a large number of people.
If something really happened, would it be better for him to help, or not to help? It would be better to simply take the initiative.
Chong Xuansheng said he would come back as soon as he went, and indeed he didn't waste much time. But when he came back, Xu Xiangqian had already left.
He didn't take it seriously and just picked up Zheng Shi's reaction and talked to Jiang Wang.
When Jiang Wang came back to his senses, he realized that there were so many calculations behind a simple follow-up.
"Are you going to keep showing off your tricks like this?" Jiang Wang said with some fear: "People like you have too many twists and turns in your mind. I can't guarantee that you won't be fooled every time."
"Of course I'm ready to take action..." Chong Xuansheng said, coming back to his thoughts and raising his voice: "What kind of people are we?"
