Chapter 168: The Palace's Inside

"Yuan Chong, why don't I remember this person?" said Wang Gubu Zatai in confusion.

Wang Dasheng continued: "He is a young man who has just come up, and he is not yet in his early twenties, so of course you have no impression of Duwei......

"Not in his early twenties, can this kind of person serve as the prefect of Bianliang?" Wang Gubu was a little incredible, but looking at Wang Dasheng's serious face, he looked a little skeptical, and then continued, "Then General Wang said that Weishenme wants to preside over his appointment?"

Wang Dasheng continued: "At present, the situation in the imperial court is not very stable, and the lieutenants are rarely able to manage some of the affairs of the imperial court officials below...... On the other hand, this Yuan Chong has nothing to do with our Mengyuan court, and he is relatively objective and fair, although he lacks some experience, but it can be seen that he is a subordinate who will do things seriously and can make us worry less. If he can take office, we are most assured......"

After Wang Dasheng finished speaking, Wang Gubu Zhatai stared at Wang Dasheng, as if he felt something, so he asked again: "General Wang, do you have something to hide from me?"

"I don't know what Lord Duwei means......" Hearing Wang Gubu Zatai suddenly ask himself in such a tone, Wang Dasheng said in a cold tone.

Wang Gubu Zatai paused and continued: "As the guard general of Bianliang, you should understand the truth of 'mature old refining', how can a prefect in the city be a stinky boy who is not even twenty years old? General Wang, are you ...... with this Yuan Chong What does it matter?"

Wang Dasheng felt as if he had been asked the key point. He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, the last general will report the truth to the captain...... Some time ago, when Yuan Chong was waiting for a new upper part. The last general had found time to test them. Who knows that those new upper people are all spineless wastes who rely on relationships. The last general killed the prisoners in front of them with his own hands, and several of them were terrified to death. However, there is one person, he is not afraid at all; when I ask for a competition, he even dares to take the initiative to stand up and provoke me; he can still be hard-mouthed and show no weakness to me when I am beaten half to death. Although the martial arts are not two. But I think this person's personality is quite interesting. After his injury healed, I kept an eye on him and wondered when he could do something for us......"

"That person is Yuan Chong, isn't it......?" said Wang Gubu.

"Yes—" Wang Dasheng replied with a nod.

"Just because of the backbone. That's why you want to use him, General Wang?" asked Wang Gubu Zatai again.

Wang Dasheng responded: "Not only that, but he is also more fair and straightforward...... The key is that during this time, tasks are often arranged in the capital. Lord Commander is also very busy. Something big happened in the city before. always coped with things, and it was over if the people of the Nangong Murong family gave some money. But this always distracted us court officials, and we had no time to take care of the tedious affairs. The last general thought to himself, if we can find someone who is straightforward in everything this time, wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble?"

"But what if that Yuan Chong is inexperienced?" asked Wang Gubu Zatai again.

Wang Dasheng continued to reply: "Just let him take this position, deal with some small cases, and help us clear some obstacles." Besides, the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion is majestic. Who would dare to stir up trouble here?"

"Who else?" "What about the thief who broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, didn't he stir up trouble? Moreover, General Wang, you didn't catch that person until the kendo conference was over!"

The "little thief" mentioned in Wang Gubu's mouth was naturally Su Jia who broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion that night. When Wang Dasheng heard this thief, his eyes were suddenly full of murderous aura, and then he still said in a light tone in front of the captain: "Last time...... Last time we were too careless......"

"It's too careless? The dignified Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion actually turned the world upside down, wouldn't it make people laugh?" Wang Gubu said sternly, "After the imperial court learned about this matter, it was also furious, so now the vigilance around the Prime Minister's Mansion has been strengthened even in broad daylight...... Hmph, fortunately, that thief didn't tell the secrets in the library until the end of the kendo conference, otherwise it would have been inevitable that there would be a big move in the city......"

Wang Dasheng thought for a while, and then said: "Since you haven't said it, wouldn't you be relieved? The secret of the kendo conference, as long as it is not passed on until the end of the kendo conference, it will be considered a success......

"But he didn't tell the secret...... "Wang Gubu Zhatai thought, but said to himself, "or ...... It was he who went to the library and didn't discover the secret of the kendo tournament at all......"

Wang Dasheng had a cold face, and said secretly in his heart: "He must have known, otherwise he wouldn't have left Bianliang City in those days." He knew the secret of the kendo tournament - what it was about - he must have been hesitating whether to tell it or not, so he never told the world. Hmph, because the secret says ......"

"But if we don't get rid of the thief, our hearts won't be able to calm down for a day...... "Wang Gubu Zatai continued, "General Wang, you'd better find that thief quickly, whether he knows the secret of the kendo tournament or not, I also want you to deal with him as soon as possible." Although this secret is basically fine as long as it is kept until the end of the kendo tournament, just in case......"

"The last general understands—" Wang Dasheng replied coldly.

Wang Gubu thought about it for a while, and then said: "Anyway, since General Wang trusts this Yuan Chong so much, as long as there is no major problem for us to worry about, then we don't have any major opinions, and this matter will be handed over to you, General Wang, who is solely responsible——"

"Yes, the last general will obey the order!" Wang Dasheng replied, and left the main hall with a blank face as usual......

When he walked out of the main hall and returned to his house, he just passed by the door, and there happened to be two messenger-like people walking towards Wang Dasheng, it seems that they have come to find Wang Dasheng from the beginning.

"See General Wang!" the two messengers walked up to Wang Dasheng. Bow down.

"General Ben has something to deal with now, if there is any inconsequential news, find the other General Wang Er and Wang San. Wang Dasheng didn't even look at the two messengers. Coldly responded.

The messenger at the front looked at Wang Dasheng's cold but irritated expression, and said with a slight smile: "This news, the little one has to tell General Wang Da in person, because the little one thinks about it, I'm afraid that General Wang will ...... is of the greatest interest. ”

"General Ben is going to announce the news of the new official's appointment now, and he is so busy that he is dying, don't you want to be happy with General Ben at this time!" Wang Dasheng said sternly. "If the news you tell is not worth anything, you know the style of this general. You know what will happen......"

Listening to Wang Dasheng's alarmist tone, the messenger trembled a little and said, "Yes...... Be...... It's about the thieves who broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion that night, we ...... We seem to have found her......"

As soon as he heard the news, Wang Dasheng's eyes suddenly lit up with murder. The green tendons on the forehead are exposed. Before the messenger was completely settled. Wang Dasheng's palm stretched out to the side, and a suffocating oppressive force followed. Before the messenger realized what was happening, he was sucked in by Wang Dasheng's terrifying internal force. Wang Dasheng grabbed the placket of the messenger's chest with his internal force, and grabbed him into the air with one hand.

The messenger felt a throbbing pain in his chest, and a sense of death that seemed to be about to suffocate, while another messenger saw him in the audience, and his eyes were so frightened that he didn't dare to open them. Wang Dasheng looked at the messenger in his hand with murderous eyes, and asked in a cold tone like a sharp knife, "Is it true, are you sure?"

"We ...... Neither...... OK...... "The messenger endured the pain. "But...... But we saw the knife technique she used. And...... When he broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion that night, the thief used the same knife technique...... General Wang said that even you have never seen that sword technique, so ...... That's why we're ...... Suspicious of her ......"

After a while, the messenger said nothing more, and Wang Dasheng threw him back to the place. After the messenger fell to the ground, he coughed vigorously, and it seemed that Wang Dasheng's "hand of Yama" just now really scared him.

Wang Dasheng clenched his fists, and then asked, "Tell me, what ......did you see?"

The other messenger was afraid that Wang Dasheng would be angry again, so he knelt down and whispered, "Little ...... The little one saw her...... It was a young girl in blue, who seemed to be competing with a beggar in the street two or three days ago, and then ...... She's the kind of chilling knife technique she used......"

The girl in blue that the messenger said was naturally Su Jia who competed in the streets and alleys with Chang Feng, one of the seven elders of the beggar gang, that day.

"The girl in blue, a beggar?" Wang Dasheng muttered to himself, and then said, "That beggar who knows martial arts must be a disciple of the beggar gang, as for the girl in blue......

When the messenger saw Wang Dasheng's thoughtful appearance, he asked again, "Could it be ...... General Wang, have you seen it?"

Wang Dasheng stared at the oblique upward with his eyes, but in his heart he thought of the truth......

(in recall)......

Su Jia sat on the second floor, but she could faintly feel the terrifying murderous aura emanating from Wang Dasheng's body. Wang Dasheng followed Wang Gubu Lato to the top of the stairs, and suddenly felt a very strong internal force above, and looked up - Su Jia was looking at himself with the same calm gaze......

"We Han people pay attention to the clarity of the heart when playing chess, if there are too many idle people waiting here to observe, this is not the quiet heart of the chess player is also ......."

Su Jia approached Wang Dasheng, her eyes looked straight at the front of the courtyard, and she didn't say a word. Wang Dasheng saw it in his eyes, and suddenly interjected coldly: "You had a purpose in front of the little prince yesterday......, right? As a person from the Western Regions, I really want to see all kinds of powerful martial arts in the Central Plains......"

(In reality)......

At the gate of Zhenming Chess Academy and Nangong Courtyard, Wang Dasheng felt Su Jia's deep concealment, and until now, he was still very aware of the sense of oppression between masters.

Wang Dasheng thought for a long time, and then said in a slightly terrifying tone: "Hmph, whether that girl is or not, I have to compete with her......"

"The general is saying, the girl in blue...... Is that the thief that night?" asked the messenger again.

Wang Dasheng didn't look at the two of them, and continued to say coldly: "I'm not sure about this. But...... I'll still find a chance to go there in person......"

Looking at Wang Dasheng's hideous and cold appearance as if he was about to see blood, the two messengers standing at the foot of the steps couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Do you have anything else to report?" Wang Dasheng asked again, "If there is nothing to do." I'm going to send someone to post the news of the new governor's appointment. ”

"No, no, general......" said the two messengers, trembling, eager to leave the suffocating place at once.

With that, the two messengers slowly turned their heads and prepared to leave.

"Slow down ......" Just as the two messengers were glad that they could leave Wang Dasheng's field of vision, Wang Dasheng suddenly said coldly, and stopped the two again.

The two messengers had their backs to Wang Dasheng. Coldly shuddered, and then slowly turned back together.

Who knows, Wang Dasheng still didn't even look at these two minions. He continued to ask in a cold tone, "Have you done everything that General Ben arranged for you to go outside the city last time?"

When the two messengers heard this, they each breathed a sigh of relief, and then one of the messengers said, "Yes...... Done with the general. We talked to Mr. Xiao Wuzhong from Lingguan City. He is willing to take refuge in General Wang, and you still have Wang Gubu, Lieutenant and Lord Zuo......"

"Hmph, okay-" Wang Dasheng suddenly showed a hideous smile, and then said to himself, "Xiao Wuzhong of Xiaojia Villa, he is the son of Xiao Rencong, the previous generation head of Xiaojia Villa, his father was against us, I didn't expect my son to betray the master and take refuge in us." hahahaha......”

A messenger wanted to cater to Wang Dasheng, so he smiled and said, "General Wang, you are wise and powerful. How could he, a small person from Xiaojia Villa, oppose you? As long as General Wang calculates your scheming, let alone Xiao Wuzhong, even the entire Xiaojia Villa will not dare to say a word in front of you, General......

Who knows, Wang Dasheng retracted his smile, as if he had thought of something, so he said to himself with a change of eyes: "Hmph, but the people in Xiaojia Villa are interesting, some of them take refuge in me like dogs, and some ...... Very interesting guy against me......"

Hearing Wang Dasheng's strange words, the two messengers were very puzzled.

"He should still be in Bianliang City......" a cold smile appeared on Wang Dasheng's face again......

(in recall)......

"You're still the first person to dare to speak to me like that......" Wang Dasheng sneered, "If I want to kill you, it's just for a moment...... But you took the initiative to find me today, but you have a bit of backbone, and you're still a very interesting guy......"

Xiao Tian saw Wang Dasheng hiding a knife in his smile, the cold air was pressing, and he really wanted to leave this oppressive scene quickly. But at this time, he seemed to have a belief in his heart, which made him can't help but move after watching Wang Dasheng's dehumanizing massacre, and followed Wang Dasheng here...... Xiao Tian thought for a moment, and then said firmly: "How about how strong your martial arts are now, two years later, or even longer...... One day my martial arts will surpass you!" Xiao Tian's words were not only firm, but his voice was quite loud.

Wang Dasheng looked at Xiao Tian's words and deeds, and felt more and more that Xiao Tian was a very interesting guy, so Wang Dasheng smiled softly rarely......

Suddenly, in an instant, Wang Dasheng disappeared in front of Xiao Tian's eyes. Before Xiao Tian could react to what was going on, Wang Dasheng had already appeared behind Xiao Tian's back, and a short sword with a cold light was on Xiao Tian's neck.

It's too fast, it's too fast, Xiao Tian didn't see how Wang Dasheng flashed behind his back at all. Xiao Tian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, but the whole person was still very calm - he seemed to have expected Wang Dasheng's ability a long time ago.

Wang Dasheng leaned into Xiao Tian's ear and sneered: "Do you want to surpass me...... This is my martial arts, if you have the ability, come and defeat me!"

Countless cold airs surrounded Xiao Tian, making Xiao Tian's whole person a little uncontrollable. But Xiao Tian was still very firm, and he only heard his eyes firm: "Hmph, one day I will defeat you!"

"Hmph, you're really interesting...... Wang Dasheng sneered in Xiao Tian's ear, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to ......" After speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and Wang Dasheng was gone......

(In reality)......

"Hmph, hmph, hmph......" Wang Dasheng thought of the scene of that day between himself and Xiao Tian, and then he suddenly laughed and said, "Hmph, one is the son of the former head of Xiaojia Villa, and the other is a useless nest bag of Xiaojia Villa, but I didn't expect that the backbone of being a human being is diametrically opposite, isn't this interesting? hahahaha——"

Listening to Wang Dasheng's increasingly terrifying laughter, the two messengers standing at the foot of the steps trembled even more.

"The head of Xiaojia Villa, or Xiao Juxian, one of the Seven Heroes of the Central Plains Martial Arts today, I don't know what he will think if he knows this situation, hahahaha-" Wang Dasheng's terrifying laughter has been echoing throughout the palace, making people shudder when they hear it......

"Ahh

"Ah Tian, what's wrong with you?" Su Jia, who was playing the flute on the side, suddenly heard Xiao Tian's unusual exclamation, immediately stopped, and then ran over and asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's okay, it's just that the hand was cut a little by the knife......" Xiao Tian didn't want Su Jia to see his unusual appearance, so he sucked the bleeding wound on his finger with his mouth and replied casually.

"You...... Are you okay?" Su Jia, who had always understood Xiao Tian's thoughts, seemed to feel something, and asked again.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's just that I was too careless and wanted to do something else......" Xiao Tian continued to smile and said, "Ah...... Jia'er, you don't have to worry about me, keep playing the flute......"

Su Jia looked at Xiao Tian's strange appearance for a long time, because she knew that Xiao Tian usually wouldn't suddenly scream because of such a trivial matter, and his voice was very terrifying and urgent......

Xiao Tian shook his injured fingers, then looked down at the ground, and said secretly in his heart: "weishenme suddenly has such a feeling like a dagger stinging, is it because I think too much......"

Xiao Tian continued to carve the wooden wedge, but his expression and the speed in his hand were not as calm as before...... (To be continued......)
