Dragon's Origin

The Emperor's back was already soaked with sweat. He had never imagined that Wang Sheng could bring him such a "surprise." Although Eunuch Li had repeatedly said that the best outcome he could hope for when facing Wang Sheng was mutual destruction, it now seemed that it was more than just mutual destruction.

The toxicity of this little thing was enough to kill six or seven hundred thousand people. If it were before, no one would believe it. But since Wang Sheng used a tiny spider from a Death Valley to kill Dai Wuji last time, some people have specifically studied this aspect.

The same kind of tiny spider, the venom carefully extracted by several poison masters, using Wang Sheng's earth measurement units, a few tenths of a milligram could take a person's life. If it were really made into a smoke bomb that big, taking the lives of tens or hundreds of thousands of people would be no exaggeration.

Barely suppressing the fear in his heart, the Emperor forced a smile that seemed strained: "Even if you threw it into the imperial city, there might not be that many people, right? Besides, if the Emperor happens not to be in the imperial city, or isn't affected, wouldn't it be useless?"

"Hey, that's easy." Wang Sheng flipped his other empty hand, and another identical smoke bomb appeared: "When that time comes, I'll find an upwind spot and throw another one, then I won't care about the result and just run for my life."

Watching the two smoke bombs appear in front of him, Wang Sheng even swung them up and down in a way that seemed like he might accidentally drop them. The Emperor's heart was about to jump out. Not to mention the surrounding guards, who wished they could rush up and kill Wang Sheng right now, but they had just heard that if Wang Sheng himself broke this thing, it would explode. If they acted rashly, and Wang Sheng couldn't hold back, the consequences… just thinking about it made them feel rebellious.

"However…" Just when everyone was terrified, Wang Sheng suddenly made a turn.

The Emperor couldn't help but ask: "However, what?"

"You said, the Emperor and I have no real grudge. We don't need to make such a fuss just for your few gold coins." Wang Sheng explained as if it were a matter of course, and finally asked: "Don't you think that makes sense?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The Emperor's heart relaxed slightly again, and he nodded in agreement: "No need, no need!"

Had he known that facing Wang Sheng face to face would be such a test of his courage, the Emperor wouldn't have impulsively insisted on meeting Wang Sheng in person. Now, before Wang Sheng had even done anything, the Emperor himself had been startled several times. Fortunately, the Emperor's cultivation was considered a small success, and his heart was still good, otherwise, he might have fainted due to heart problems long ago.

Watching the two smoke bombs disappear from Wang Sheng's hand, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least the things were much safer in the storage ring than in his hand.

"Actually, it's not too difficult to get the debt back, it just depends on whether you have the patience." Wang Sheng put away the smoke bombs, and while everyone was still exhaling, he started talking to the Emperor again.

The Emperor was the Emperor, although he had just been frightened, he quickly adjusted in such a short period of time. He entered the role again, performing like a businessman to perfection.

"I have patience, what should I do?" The Emperor once again showed his actor-level skills, asking anxiously and excitedly, as if he had already seen the scene of his debt being recovered.

"Actually, temporarily solving the pressure from Baoqing Remaining Hall, as you just said, you can support it for two or three years." Wang Sheng continued the previous topic and said: "You just wait for two or three years, how much they owe you here, you remember it with interest, don't rush to ask for it."

"Then what?" The Emperor-businessman asked with great interest: "What happens then?"

"During these two or three years, the Emperor will enfeoff several dukes, and other lords will also have ups and downs, and the Emperor's prestige will greatly increase, that should be right?" Wang Sheng began to analyze from the current situation, and came to a logical conclusion.

The Emperor nodded. Two or three years was enough time for him and his ministers to operate the Emperor's influence to become more and more powerful. Wang Sheng stated a fact, and there was no need to deny it. Moreover, Wang Sheng's optimism about the royal family surprised the Emperor.

"However, even if the Emperor's prestige greatly increases after two or three years. But after all, it's just prestige." Wang Sheng immediately made another turn: "But in terms of real strength, the royal family is definitely not as good as those lords, right?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, this was also a fact. Two or three years was not enough to smooth out the strength of the royal family and the various families. The royal family was still not a match for any of these lords. The Emperor was not someone living in a fantasy dream, on the contrary, he had great ambitions, and admitting shortcomings was the driving force for progress, so the Emperor continued to nod.

"You do such a big business, and you just said you know several powerful lords." Wang Sheng saw the Emperor still nodding, and asked with a smile: "Song, Tang, Qiu, Shi, Dai, or Xia, Feng, Gan, you must know one or several of them, right?"

The Emperor still nodded. Whether he knew them or not, he always had to show Wang Sheng that he knew them, and listen to what he had to say.

"This is a method that a person named Cao Cao told me." Wang Sheng first removed himself, and then said: "Find the most powerful one you know, let them find an excuse, and then send troops to the capital."

"Send troops to the capital? What is this for?" The Emperor was shocked and hurriedly asked. The people who had come in to protect the Emperor almost didn't dare to listen, and each of them looked extremely unnatural.

"Old brother, are these all your people?" Wang Sheng suddenly stopped and asked the Emperor an irrelevant question.

The Emperor hadn't admitted it yet, but Wang Sheng had already reminded him: "My method, out of my mouth, into your ears, I guarantee it will work. But if more people hear it, I can't guarantee it. If someone leaks it out and someone else takes the lead, you won't have a chance."

As soon as Wang Sheng finished speaking, before the Emperor could react, the guards had already changed their expressions. What Wang Sheng was saying now was a rebellious way to deal with the royal family. If they really heard it, would they be okay? Even if they dared to swear that they were loyal to the Emperor, the Emperor would have to believe it!

If according to the usual disposal method, they, these insiders, would either be neatly silenced afterward, which was the easiest and most worry-free method. Or they would be assigned to some dark place and never be able to come out again, leaving a life was already the best result. This was the price to pay for knowing something you shouldn't know.

"Are you sure you want them to hear it?" Wang Sheng's question echoed in everyone's ears. But at this time, the guards around him were all grateful.
