Chapter Twenty-Nine: Wenchang Pavilion's Calculations
Wang Guanlan would never be stupid enough to break into the palace, in fact, he was not even willing to take a step closer to the palace.
It's just that some things are not transferred by his will, the day after being released from the Criminal Department, he was called to the palace by the emperor again, and talked secretly for several hours before he came out of the palace, after coming out, Wang Guanlan's face was very bad, this time he entered the palace, Jiang Ying gave him a warning, warning him not to make trouble in the capital anymore, the capital is not a place for him to play prestige, in addition, as a formation mage of the Great Qi Dynasty, he has the obligation to do his part for the Great Qi Dynasty, an assassin who broke into the palace is still hiding in the capital, and he has the obligation to contribute to finding this assassin, don't hide all day long in the capital Ning Wangfu in the name of reading.
As a result, he became an idle boy in the Wushui camp in the capital.
Wushui Camp, that is where Shen Fasui, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was born, and he was assigned to Wushui Camp, obviously Jiang Ying did it intentionally.
However, Wang Guanlan didn't care, although the Wushui Camp was mainly a formation mage, except for the commander who was extremely hostile to him, everyone else was a formation mage in the army, specializing in military formations and war techniques, and the threat to him was not great, and because of his contradiction with Shen Fasui, it was impossible for him to learn anything useful from this Wushui camp, so after a few days in the Wushui camp, Wang Guanlan didn't even look like it, and he didn't go to the Wushui camp to see the faces of those haters, but he was also happy.
As for the emperor's feelings, does it have anything to do with him?
A month later, Wang Guanlan secretly sent away Wu Yumantis, and so far, his understanding of the Senluo Vientiane Locked Dragon Array has once again made a breakthrough, and in addition, the situation in the capital is slowly changing.
Qingyun Hou has completely replaced Wen Hou and become the spokesperson of the pro-noble line, and Qingyun Hou, who controls the Great Chifu, has become the first person in the capital pro-noble line, but this does not mean that he has become one of the new four giants of the capital.
The power of the pro-noble family in the capital was completely in the hands of Wen Hou before, but Wang Guanlan was too ruthless, and he had no intention of giving Wen Hou the slightest hope of turning over, uprooting Wen Hou's power, and at the same time almost uprooting the strength of the pro-noble family in the capital, so although the Qingyun Marquis Mansion is supported by the Great Red Mansion, the backbone is far from enough, and he can only choose to attach himself to the royal family before he can regain a foothold in the capital.
The power of the royal family has risen sharply, as for Wenhou's counterattack, Wang Guanlan didn't take it to heart at all, since it was Qingyun Hou who inherited the Great Red Mansion, then, he would not be willing to watch Wenhou Dongshan rise, so, at the first time, he began to suppress the power of Wenhou Mansion, plus Wenhou lost the Night Shadow Leopard, and he was seriously injured, so he was unable to compete with Qingyun Hou at all, and half a month later, he withdrew from the capital, ran to the old mansion outside the city to recuperate, and officially announced his withdrawal from the competition for power in the capital, as for whether he is really willing to give up, it is not something that Wang Guanlan should care about。
At the same time, Wang Guanlan's life in the capital is gradually on the right track, what is the right track?
is no longer the same as before, staying in the house, but has normal social activities, he began to frequently attend various banquets, and Feng Jiu, Xia Dongyuan and Yan Chixia formed a small gang, touring the mountains and rivers during the day, swimming in the capital, drinking and having fun at night, completely similar to all the people in the capital, no different.
The only difference from those gentlemen is that when others bully men and women, some people dare to take care of it, but no one dares to take care of him when he goes to the street to tease and tease the little girl, who dares to care, whether it is the Criminal Department or the prefect's yamen, no one wants to touch such a big bad head, he makes him like a bully in the capital.
"It's so fucking cool, you said that in this capital, the quality of women is better than other places!"
On this day, the sun was shining, and the women did not hold a meeting, so the quartet wandered the streets all morning, and in a very bored manner, they ran to the front gate building on Suzaku Street and sat down, looking at the big girl and little daughter-in-law walking by the street, whistling and laughing loudly.
At the foot of this Son of Heaven, the first good place, who has ever seen a frame, he will immediately provoke a burst of screams, and the people who watch it are frowning.
"Look, what to see, what's so beautiful, don't look at us, look at the beauty!" Wang Guanlan is this guy, holding a wine jug in his hand, sitting on the beam of the front door building with his buttocks, his legs dangling in the air, as soon as he sees the little daughter-in-law and the eldest girl coming, he whistles loudly, if the parents are more beautiful, he is there to beckon, Xia Dongyuan and Yan Chixia who are watching are frowning and fidgeting, only Feng Jiu, the little fat man, is very excited, and he also likes this tune, and the voice is louder than Wang Guanlan.
"Shame, shame, shame in the capital!!"
On the top of the restaurant not far away, watching the performance of Wang Guanlan and the four of them, a middle-aged man shook his head fiercely, with an annoyed look, "These four scum turned out to be the strongest people on my Daqi Hidden Abyss list, it's really my shame for Daqi, shame for Daqi!!"
"Cousin, you can't say that, don't you see it, this is Wang Guanlan performing, he was trapped in the capital by His Majesty, he was not free, he had a shocking ability, but he was firmly locked, how could he not be depressed, so wild, it was normal!"
"What about Feng Jiu? Is Feng Jiu's tutor like this?!"
"Feng Jiu!?" The muscles on the man's face twitched twice, "That kid is a scumbag, talk about what he does, it's a waste of fun!!"
"You also know, this generation of the pro-noble line can be said to be full of talents, these four people in front of them are representatives, and they are also the leaders of the next generation of pro-noble lineage, and the most important thing is that they will be the backbone of the pro-noble line in the future disaster of the sky, do you really want to trap people in the capital?"
"Your Majesty is going to be sleepy with only one! As for the other two, they are only slightly brought. ”
"I got the news that Your Majesty doesn't want Wang Guanlan to go back and enter the Five Poisons Secret Realm, because this kid is invincible, if he enters the Five Poisons Secret Realm, he may get great benefits and destroy His Majesty's plan, but there is such a thing!"
"Excuses, just excuses, in the final analysis, I am afraid that this Wang Guanlan will get benefits, grow up, and the tail will not fall off, is the emperor? Always suspicious of this kind of thing, you can't say that they are wrong, and you can't say that what he thinks is not right!"
"Hmph, Wang Guanlan's son can bend and stretch, his face is thick and his heart is black, does Your Majesty really think that he can stop him?"
"It's man-made, not letting Wang Guanlan enter the Five Poisons Secret Realm is the suggestion of the Mandate of Heaven, and the Heavenly Machine Pavilion is now suddenly in trouble, it can be said that this matter is the last time that the Mandate of Heaven is approved before he dies, do you say that Your Majesty can not pay attention to it?"
The middle-aged man named Cousin stopped talking, sat back at the table, picked up the teacup, and took a sip gently, "Yes, this is the last life of the Heavenly Mandate, and Your Majesty can't afford not to pay attention to it, but I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will be self-defeating, Cousin Yu, you are the first assistant today, and this matter is even more important to you than me, what do you think should be done?"
"How to deal with it, hehe, cousin, you are too exalted to me, your majesty seems to be benevolent today, but in fact the surname is hard, after identifying a thing, it is not possible for others to object, although I am known as the first assistant, but I have no right to speak in this kind of matter, you just spare me!!"
"But it's always like this after all, it's not a thing, the disaster of the sky is imminent, the Cangyuan Demon Gate has risen again, the great change has been born, the capital can no longer withstand any turmoil, leave Wang Guanlan in the capital, can our majesty restrain it?"
"Do you also think that Your Majesty can't restrain Wang Guanlan?"
"This son is talented, but it is not so easy to deal with, you look at his grinning and angry appearance, he doesn't care about other people's opinions, and he doesn't care about his own image, such a person often acts by unscrupulous means, he does this, he doesn't necessarily have any other purpose, Your Majesty probably underestimated him!"
"Does this have anything to do with us? The last time this son went to my Rao banquet, he has already expressed his attitude, next year will be the year of Dabi, and he will not turn his face with me before the results of Dabi come out!"
"With his strength, what can he do if he wins the Jinshi?"
"Luck, he needs enough luck!!" Rong Yutang stroked the black beard under his chin, and said with a smile, "He needs to borrow the luck of our waiting, otherwise, how can he be selected for the show and take the exam?"
"This is also what I am most worried about, once he wins the Jinshi, his luck will be linked to my Wenchang Pavilion's luck, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse. ”
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, cousin, haven't you seen it clearly all these years? He wants to borrow my Wenchang Pavilion's luck, why don't we Wenchang Pavilion want to borrow his luck? The matter of Cangyuan will inevitably end before the disaster of the sky, and the outside must first be inside, this is the trend of the times, to do this, force is indispensable, and although my Wenchang Pavilion has the power of self-preservation, but there is more than enough to defend it, and it is not enterprising enough, it cannot be compared with the generals at all, once the generals take this opportunity to expand their power, my Wenchang Pavilion will inevitably be suppressed, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to turn over, and the generals act wantonly, which really makes them lucky, but it is not the blessing of Daqi, and even the south of the country!"
"So you want to train Wang Guanlan to fight against the generals?"
"No, I just want him to divide the luck of the generals, don't forget, now he still has a Taoist soldier in his hand, and he is proficient in the formation, and the most important thing is that as long as he wins the Jinshi, it will be related to our luck, and those generals want to pull him, and it is impossible!"
"So, next year's big competition, Wang Guanlan will inevitably win?"
Rong Yutang suddenly laughed, "Cousin, you can't talk nonsense!"
The two laughed together, and at this time, they heard an exclamation from the long street, and the two of them were startled at the same time, and turned their heads to look, but saw that the front door building where Wang Guanlan and the four people were sitting fell to the ground with a bang, and for a while, the long street was dusty, and it was impossible to see what was happening.
