Wang Guangchen possessed a sharp aura unique to soldiers. He was in his thirties, not tall, but looked extremely sturdy, like a bluestone that had been scorched by war and blown by yellow sand countless times, inspiring fear in the enemy and reassurance in his own men.
“My son’s opinion is simple: this woman absolutely cannot be allowed to live any longer.” Wang Guangchen’s voice was hoarse and low. “As long as she is around, it’s like having a knife stuck in your throat.”
Wang Heng was very satisfied with his answer and asked with a smile, "Chen'er, are you confident?"
Wang Guangchen nodded lightly: "Of course."
Nowadays, Wang Heng appears to be in charge of the Wang family, but in reality, everyone regards Wang Guangchen as their pillar of support.
At the same time, they were afraid of him.
Because we went too far before.
What future could a lowly illegitimate son have? Sending him to the frontier is tantamount to abandoning him. Otherwise, with the Wang family's power, they could easily find a quiet job in the capital, even if they couldn't just go wherever they wanted.
No one expected that he would rise to the rank of General of the Cavalry through his own efforts.
He suddenly became the pillar of the Wang family.
There is Wang Ruoxiang in the palace, and Wang Guangchen outside the palace.
However, in order to reassure the emperor and allow Wang Ruoxiang to ascend to the position of empress, Wang Guangchen was sacrificed once again.
This time, the cost of the sacrifice is even greater.
When they had no choice but to make this decision, the whole family was extremely worried. They had earned their position through hard work, and now they were about to give up, especially considering their previous attitude.
Unexpectedly, Wang Guangchen agreed very readily.
After returning home, nothing happened as everyone had feared; everything seemed perfectly calm.
But as a father, Wang Heng could somewhat sense the emotions of his son, whom he had never held even once since he was a child, and he was angry.
Before he could make amends, Chu Jinjin's incident happened.
Wang Heng, as if he were a son, carefully looked him over a few times: "Chen'er, you know what the Emperor is thinking. He wants to make Chu Jinjin his empress. If we make a mistake and the Emperor finds out, it could bring about a terrible disaster."
Wang Guangchen raised his eyelids slightly: "Father, do you not believe your son?"
Wang Heng almost shuddered and quickly waved his hand: "No, I just wanted to remind Chen'er to think things through carefully."
No one considers Chu Jinjin an ordinary woman anymore.
The letter from the north clearly stated that he moved freely among thousands of troops, possessed the courage of ten thousand men, and was virtually invincible in a direct confrontation.
Of course, Wang Guangchen is also very powerful; even the martial arts champion is no match for him, but I always feel uneasy about it.
“Chu Jinjin is indeed formidable. If it were a direct confrontation, I would have at most a 50% chance of winning.” To become the Grand General of the Escort Flag, Wang Guangchen clearly relied on more than just martial prowess. He did not look down on Chu Jinjin because she was a woman. “Over the years, I have been practicing my skills in killing.”
If Chu Jinjin were here, she would definitely approve.
A true life-or-death struggle and a friendly exchange are two completely different concepts.
Women and children who appear harmless can kill enemies much stronger than themselves.
Ultimately, martial arts can make people strong and quick-witted, but they cannot cultivate a murderous intent.
A normal person wouldn't dare to kill someone.
Only those who have witnessed life and death, like Wang Guangchen, can't even remember how many people they've killed. In his eyes, people are no different from livestock.
So what if they killed him?
They will kill without hesitation.
Chu Jinjin was the same.
Wang Heng seemed to understand but not quite: "Then what does Chen'er plan to do?"
Wang Guangchen said calmly, "First stabilize them, then kill them. How to stabilize them? I don't need my son to tell me, do I?"
This time, Wang Heng couldn't help but shiver slightly.
This is being said to him.
“My son has already written and asked some of his old brothers to come and help.” Wang Guangchen’s lips curled up at a chilling angle. “At that time, let alone Chu Jinjin, we might even be able to break into the palace.”
Wang Heng had been waiting for these words.
There were many guards and servants in the house, but they were completely useless.
Only truly skilled individuals can do it.
It turns out the son really did have a backup plan.
The most urgent task is to stabilize Chu Jinjin and make her believe that the Wang family has completely submitted.
He had planned this all along.
Outsiders didn't know what had happened. Given his status, it was obviously inappropriate for him to go to the Chu family. If word got back to the Emperor, who knew what he would think? So he decided to invite Chu Jinjin to his residence.
That evening, just as the invitations were being written, Wang Ruoyun rushed in, her face pale: "Father, Chu Jinjin is here."
Wang Heng paused, a large drop of ink falling onto the paper: "Herself?"
“The servants said she was alone.” Wang Ruoyun took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Father, rest assured, I know I was wrong and will apologize to her properly.”
The feud between the two families started because of her, and Chu Jinjin must hate her the most.
In the hall, Chu Jinjin was as relaxed as if she were at home, leaning back in her chair. Around her were a group of Wang family women who were forcing smiles.
I doubt even the Empress has the same airs as her.
Wang Ruoyun knelt down as soon as she entered the door: "Miss Chu, Ruoyun apologizes to you."
Even though she was mentally prepared, she already had a feeling that it wasn't real.
Who would have thought that their meeting would turn out like this, and that she would be so humble?
"Call me Master." Chu Jinjin had no intention of making things difficult for her. Her goal today was the entire Wang family. "Even your sister, Wang Ruoxiang, calls me that, understand?"
Wang Ruoyun bit her lip tightly: "I understand."
Chu Jinjin's gaze fell on Wang Heng, who entered afterward: "And who are you? Why aren't you kneeling?"
If it weren't for this trip to the north, the Chu family would have been driven to their deaths. There's no point in being polite to enemies.
Chu Jinjin had no intention of truly subduing the Wang family, nor was it possible. Putting aside past grievances, in the Emperor's mind, she was now the biggest obstacle to the Wang family.
However, as Wang Ruoxiang said, she cannot completely eradicate the problem now.
Wang Heng gritted his teeth and knelt down: "I, Wang Heng, on behalf of the Wang family, thank you for your great kindness in sparing my life."
The fate of the entire Wang family rests on a single sentence from Chu Jinjin.
Wang Ruoyun, along with all the other women, immediately turned red in the eyes, their expressions filled with a desire to tear Chu Jinjin apart alive.
The head of the household knelt down and addressed him as "master."
Such a humiliation is unbearable for anyone.
"It doesn't matter if she is my beloved daughter, but she has offended the master time and time again." Wang Heng kowtowed three times heavily, and when he raised his head, his brow was red and swollen. "From now on, the Wang family will obey the master's orders. If anyone has any disloyalty, may they be struck by lightning."
"As expected of the head of the family, you're much smarter now. You know what to do. Get up." Chu Jinjin didn't believe in any oaths or vows, but the current situation could only be stabilized for the time being. She lazily waved her hand and looked around. "By the way, I heard that your family's Wang Guangchen has returned. Have him come to see me."
It's normal for everyone to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Wang Guangchen is different.
As a general in charge of escorting flags, one should naturally possess a strong sense of pride.
