Chapter 2358 Returning to the Capital to Report
Shao Liulang was hit in a sore spot by Master Qiao, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up. The two of them kept talking, getting more and more angry. If the servants hadn't gotten the news and rushed over to persuade and stop them, the two gentlemen would have probably started fighting.
Parted on bad terms.
When they were persuaded and dragged away by their respective followers, Shao Liulang and Master Qiao both turned pale.
Naturally, what happened in the post station quickly reached Shao Yunduan's ears. Shao Yunduan sneered and was very happy to see it happen. He even felt a little regretful that the two men didn't fight.
He was really fed up with Shao Liulang. Seeing Shao Liulang being humiliated, no matter what the reason, was a good thing that made people feel happy.
Shao Yunduan guessed that after this incident, Shao Liulang would not stay in Hangzhou for too long.
After all, he was an imperial envoy, and he had to return to the capital to report.
Shao Yunduan took the opportunity to have someone spread some words to Shao Liulang's ears, such as the situation in the court in the capital was unpredictable, and if he stayed outside for too long, there might be no place for him when he returned, etc. Shao Liulang was indeed a little anxious, and asked Shao Yunduan to go back and report.
Having decided to return to Beijing, Shao Liulang was even less polite to Shao Yunduan. He broke into Shao Yunduan's study and asked him aggressively, "Fifth cousin, can you tell me something frankly? Fifth cousin has decided to rebel and fight the emperor for the world, right?"
With no outsiders around, Shao Yunduan didn't need to hide anything, and said seriously, "I never expected to get to this point, but now that things have come to this, I can't go back. Because this road involves not only me, but also my family and the lives of countless people."
Shao Liulang was very unconvinced and sneered, "Fifth cousin, we are all from the countryside. Our greatest wish in this life is to become an official and bring honor to our family. If we can do this, it means that our ancestors' graves are filled with smoke and our ancestors have accumulated merits! Fifth cousin actually still dreams of owning the world and being the master of the world. Ha, do you think this is possible?"
The implication is, do you think you are worthy of being an emperor? You are a country bumpkin, are you worthy of being an emperor?
Shao Yunduan heard the hidden meaning, but he was not annoyed. He looked at Shao Liulang with his dark eyes and said calmly: "I won't think about whether it is possible or not. I only know that for my family and for those who follow me, I will go all out!"
Shao Liulang sneered repeatedly and said sarcastically: "Don't let yourself be defeated miserably. If they lose their lives because of you, how can you stand in the world with dignity?"
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that!"
Shao Liulang felt upset, but he didn't care. He just couldn't stand seeing Shao Yunduan being surrounded by people.
"But you," Shao Yunduan glanced at him and said, "The Fourth Prince is not a broad-minded person. He is mean and malicious, and will take revenge for any slight. On the surface, he pretends to be generous and tolerant, virtuous and talented. He is an out-and-out hypocrite. Let me be frank. Why do you think you caught his eye and became the imperial envoy? It's because your last name is Shao! You understand this yourself, right?"
"Nonsense!" Shao Liulang was furious. "Of course the emperor values me because of my loyalty to the Qin Dynasty and my talent! Shao Yunduan, don't be so self-righteous! Also, you are trying to sow discord between me and the emperor, but I won't fall for your trick!"
