Dragon's Origin

Chapter 506: Suspicion (Part 2)

The news said that Old Master Zhu personally ended Zhu Shaodong's life and then endured humiliation to manage Baoqing Yutang. Obviously, it now seems that it was just a facade.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs. Zhu Xingsheng is so old and has an only son. Can he really bear to kill his only descendant with his own hands?

This is Wang Sheng's suspicion, but he hadn't said it before. Now, seeing the methods of this so-called Shan Yue Kingdom, Wang Sheng began to suspect everything from the beginning.

If it were really Old Master Zhu in charge, he would never be so petty. A person who can spread Baoqing Yutang all over the country would never consider things so simply.

Not to mention Zhu Xingsheng, even Wang Sheng, if he really wanted to do such a thing, he would at least increase the reward tenfold. Either don't do it, or do it and let everyone who can do it do it. That's the method of hammering a nail, one hammer to finalize it. Constantly investing a little and consuming a little is just constantly delivering food to Wang Sheng.

Another point is what Wang Sheng said, creating too many enemies. Of course, every family wants to enter the Shan Yue area to take advantage, but this is definitely not a problem that can be solved by catching them all at once. Even Wang Sheng's ancestors two thousand years ago on Earth knew about distant alliances and near attacks, defeating them one by one. Did the person in charge of Baoqing Yutang's brain get water and offend all the vassal states?

Only a short-sighted person with no overall view, only looking at temporary moods, only looking at temporary gains and losses, and only knowing immediate interests, would make such a brain-dead decision. At this time, shouldn't they show their strong strength, make everyone retreat in the face of difficulties, and then concentrate on dealing with Wang Sheng and Qiu? After solving them, then talk about the others?

Don't say that Xia will covet their territory, manpower, and interests. Which of those large and small vassal states is not guarding against other people's schemes while scheming against others? But on the surface, everyone still has to maintain a peaceful rhythm. No fool has ever suddenly jumped out to provoke everyone.

Counting and counting, Wang Sheng doesn't think that anyone other than Zhu Shaodong, who is said to be already dead, could make such an outrageous and bizarre decision.

Saying that he entered Qianjue Land to avoid disaster, Wang Sheng still wanted to see the reactions of all parties. After Wang Sheng, the target, is gone, how will the various parties deal with the relationship with this suddenly emerging Shan Yue Kingdom?

"Do you think some vassal states will jump out to kill you?" A Qi is just an assassin and is completely incapable of this level of consideration, so she can only ask Wang Sheng with some worry.

Lao Dao didn't speak, but he was obviously concerned. When A Qi asked, he also pricked up his ears, waiting for Wang Sheng's answer.

"Don't worry, the major vassal states will definitely not jump out," Wang Sheng first gave the two an answer that reassured them: "The Emperor will definitely remain calm and wait slowly."

"Waiting for what?" A Qi asked, following Wang Sheng's lead.

"Waiting for those small vassal states who can't resist the temptation to jump out!" Wang Sheng replied with a smile: "If I don't show up, someone will always try every means to find out my whereabouts."

"What will happen when they jump out?" A Qi continued to ask.

"Follow in the footsteps of the former Kaixuan Kingdom," Wang Sheng laughed.

"Why?" A Qi was startled. How did it involve the destruction of a country? Even Lingxu Lao Dao didn't understand and widened his eyes, waiting for Wang Sheng to explain.

"First of all, Baoqing Yutang's stupid move has already destined it to offend all the major vassal states," Wang Sheng analyzed to the two while walking: "Remaining silent now is just to accumulate strength and strike a thunderous blow against the so-called Shan Yue Kingdom, just like the three kingdoms dealt with Kaixuan Kingdom before."

"However, before that, if there are still some small vassal states who don't know what's good for them and jump out, then that's disrespect to the Emperor, and it's just right to clean them up together," Wang Sheng was afraid that the two wouldn't understand, so he specifically explained: "Who would dislike having too many spoils and too much territory?"

"But why is this disrespectful to the Emperor?" A Qi still didn't understand and asked suspiciously.

"Because the Emperor did not accept the so-called Shan Yue Kingdom," Wang Sheng replied with a smile: "We have heard all the way that the representative of Shan Yue Kingdom wants to see the Emperor, but we have never heard of what the Emperor did, right?"

"The problem is, Baoqing Yutang is requesting a fiefdom. Isn't this a great achievement of expanding territory?" A Qi's political awareness is not as high as her assassin talent. She still looks at the problem very simply: "Why wouldn't the Emperor recognize such a achievement? Doesn't the Emperor want to incorporate Shan Yue Land into the kingdom's territory?"

"Expanding territory is a good thing, but this is obviously not expanding territory for the Emperor, but for Zhu Xingsheng himself," Lao Dao understood this aspect better than A Qi. After all, he has been in the capital for so many years. He hasn't eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run. He smiled and explained for Wang Sheng: "Moreover, the Emperor has finally balanced the vassal states. If a new one is suddenly added, wouldn't it be unbalanced again?"

"Yes!" Wang Sheng took over the topic with a smile: "Why does the Emperor have to recognize and accept them? If this so-called Shan Yue Kingdom is divided up by various parties, wouldn't he be able to steadily incorporate Shan Yue Kingdom's territory into the kingdom's territory without paying anything? It's still expanding territory!"

"That is to say, the major vassals are already preparing to divide up Shan Yue Kingdom. At this time, it depends on who will jump out without knowing what's good for them, and clean up a few more?" A Qi understood and summarized in her own words.

"That's the idea," Wang Sheng affirmed with a smile: "I just don't know how angry Old Master Zhu will be now. If this decision was really made by his son, who can't be helped, Old Master Zhu must have a headache!"

Pa! At the same time that Wang Sheng, A Qi, and Lao Dao were talking about this, in a certain city in Shan Yue Kingdom, Baoqing Yutang's Old Master Zhu had already slapped a young man in front of him hard.

"Stupid!" Old Master Zhu slapped him angrily and still didn't relieve his anger. He cursed: "You just gained some strength and offended all the forces you could offend. You are really my good son!"

"I just wanted to kill that Wang Sheng," The young man who was slapped, just as Wang Sheng guessed, was Zhu Shaodong, who was said to be already dead. At this moment, Zhu Shaodong covered his face and explained with a face full of grievance.

"Kill Wang Sheng! Good idea!" Old Master Zhu laughed, turned around and paused for a moment, then suddenly turned back and slapped Zhu Shaodong on the other side of his face again, directly knocking Zhu Shaodong to the ground. He roared at him angrily: "Then where is Wang Sheng? The person you want to kill is carefree in Tang, but you killed all the people sent over by all the other families. Is this your method of killing Wang Sheng?"
