Liangzhou, Guzang City.

In the evening, surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, Wang Cheng stood outside the gate of Xiao Huang's mansion, but only Xiao Huang's lieutenant Wang Sheng came out to greet them.

Wang Cheng squinted at Wang Sheng in front of him, his eyes were full of disdain.

Of course he recognized Wang Sheng, obviously he grew up eating the food of their Wang family and it was also the Wang family who raised him, but in the end he turned his back on the Wang family and turned his allegiance to Xiao Huang.

Although Xiao Huang is also his son-in-law, Wang Cheng still cannot forgive Wang Sheng's betrayal, if he hadn't cared about his son-in-law's face, he might have been rude to Wang Sheng long ago.

Although he would not do anything to Wang Sheng now, it was absolutely impossible for him to show any favors to a traitor like Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng could also see the unkindness in Wang Cheng's eyes, but deliberately pretended not to see it, and respectfully bowed to Wang Cheng:

"My next official, Wang Sheng, see the governor."

Wang Cheng waved his hand, dissatisfaction was evident in his eyes: "Why are you? Where are most of you?"

Wang Cheng's attitude was somewhat rude, but Wang Sheng didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, instead he sighed: "Da Duhu has locked himself in the study these days, and no one is allowed to come near, no matter who he is, he can't persuade you." live."

Wang Cheng couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, he naturally knew the reason, it was also because he learned about the changes in the capital that he personally came to see Xiao Huang, so that he could discuss countermeasures face to face.

Now that Concubine Song and Song Duan are dead, it means that Xiao Huang has lost the two major powers from the inner palace and the outer court at the same time, and his power is naturally not as good as before, and it is far inferior to Xiao Jie who has the support of Empress Sun and the Su family. I'm afraid that the position of crown prince will fall into Xiao Jie's hands sooner or later. Once he succeeds in successfully inheriting the land of Daning, it will be the end of their royal family.

In order to prevent Xiao Jie from entering the East Palace, they must discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible.

Moreover, there is another more important reason why Wang Cheng came to see Xiao Huang today, that is, the death of Song Guifei and Song Duan made him discover a new opportunity, an opportunity related to the future and destiny of the Wang family in the next few decades.

Now his son-in-law Xiao Huang has lost his concubine mother and uncle at the same time, which means that the power of his mother clan has disappeared from now on, and it means that no matter whether Xiao Huang wants it or not, the only power he can rely on from his relatives is their royal family .

Now their royal family can completely increase their bets on Xiao Huang on the basis of their marriage, integrate their royal family's interests with Xiao Huang's own interests, and realize the real "Xiao and the king share the world" in the future. The Wang family has returned to the top, and there will be another hundred years of wealth.

But now that Wang Sheng said that Xiao Huang locked himself in the study, he couldn't help feeling worried, worried that Xiao Huang would never recover after being hit by this blow, and that their Wang family's past efforts and future plans would be in vain.

"Take me to see your general guards."

Wang Cheng's words did not sound like a guest, but more like giving orders to Wang Sheng, but as Xiao Huang's father-in-law, Wang Cheng thought he had the confidence and qualifications.

"Please come inside the governor."

There was still no trace of anger on Wang Sheng's face, but instead he responded with a gesture of invitation to Wang Cheng, and walked in front to lead him the way.

After all Xiao Huang has been depressed for so many days, no one can persuade him, he, the deputy general, is naturally very worried, always worried that he will be overwhelmed, and he will be troubled if he fails to recover.

Since Wang Cheng wanted to see the Chief Protector now, Wang Sheng would naturally not stop him, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little hope that Wang Cheng, the father-in-law, could really persuade Xiao Huang.

When the two walked out of the study one after the other, Wang Sheng was about to knock on the door to inform Xiao Huang, but Wang Cheng pushed Wang Sheng away and walked in directly.

It was dusk, but the study room was not lit, and it looked a little dark. The setting sun sprinkled a few rays of light into the study room through the window, which made the study room slightly bright.

Wang Cheng frowned and stood at the door for a while before he got used to the light in the study. He saw Xiao Huang sitting in the dark alone at the desk in a daze, staring blankly ahead, his eyes were blank and blank, and his face was full of tears. Haggard look.

Maybe it was awakened by the sound of the door opening, Xiao Huang suddenly came back to his senses, saw Wang Cheng standing at the door, he was taken aback for a moment, then said hoarsely: "My lord father-in-law, why are you here?"

Wang Cheng's brows furrowed deeper, and dissatisfaction was revealed in his eyes: "Which song are you singing?"

Xiao Huang sighed and remained silent for a while, Wang Sheng went in and picked up the fire pocket and lit several candlesticks in the room one by one, the whole study room was brightly lit.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng felt even more resentful, and said angrily: "I came to see you today to discuss the matter of sending troops to Dihu, but seeing your decadent appearance now, I don't care if I don't want to talk about it."

After saying that, Wang Cheng waved his sleeves, turned around and made a gesture to leave.

"Father-in-law, please stay."

Xiao Huang's hoarse voice came from behind, he got up immediately, walked quickly to Wang Cheng, looked at Wang Cheng with embarrassing eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Father-in-law is serious?"

Wang Cheng looked his son-in-law up and down, smiled coldly, and said sarcastically: "So what's the truth, what's the fake? Seeing how decadent you are now, can you still lead the army?"

Wang Cheng's words were harsh, but Xiao Huang didn't get angry, instead he explained: "My father-in-law misunderstood, I locked myself in the study not because of depression, but because I was thinking hard about a solution to the situation."

"Then what strategy can you think of to break the situation? Why don't you tell me?" Wang Cheng seemed a little unconvinced, fixed his eyes on Xiao Huang, and continued to ask.

Xiao Huang was speechless for a while.

Wang Cheng snorted heavily in his nostrils, and the dissatisfaction on his face became more serious.

Xiao Huang sighed, and had no choice but to confess to Wang Cheng: "I'm sorry, I let my father-in-law down."

At this time, Wang Cheng's complexion was a little better, and he persuaded him earnestly: "I know that you are very sad that Concubine Song died, but you can't let this fall down, you must cheer up, and learn to turn grief and anger into strength. Since it was Xiao Jie who forced you to die Your mother and concubine, you have to pay an eye for an eye and avenge the murder of your mother."

Xiao Huang's complexion slowly returned to its original determination, his eyes gradually became sharper, and he finally nodded and said: "What my father-in-law taught me is that I understand what I should do."

Wang Cheng nodded in relief, he just listened to his persuasion, and he was relieved to proceed with the next plan.

"Since that's the case, let's talk about sending troops to Dihu now."
