The city is full of tricks, Duoduo wants to go back to the countryside!
Yun Duoduo was completely shocked, staring at Wang Fengru in disbelief.
[Grandma is truly no ordinary person. I had heard many stories about her from my grandmother before, but seeing her in person is even more amazing.]
Yun Duoduo looks like a one-year-old baby, seemingly harmless and innocent. She doesn't dare to express many of her emotions, but this time, she was truly shocked.
Wang Fengru was amused by Yun Duoduo's reaction and laughed heartily. "Little sister, I always feel that your granddaughter is not like a little girl, but rather like a little adult."
"Look at her, she looks like she's seen a ghost, it's really funny!" Wang Fengru gently pinched Yun Duoduo's cheek.
Yun Duoduo closed her mouth and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
"Isn't this a cultivation book?" When Nangong Rui picked up the book earlier, he didn't open it to read the contents carefully. He could tell it was a good thing just by looking at the cover and spine. So why was Duoduo so surprised?
"What kind of weird stuff did you, my precious granddaughter, read?" Nangong Rui looked at Yun Duoduo's expression, feeling both worried and dissatisfied. She grabbed the book, opened it, and glanced at it.
"Huh?!"
"So that's what it was about."
"How blatant! The cultivation methods of your Shu Kingdom are truly unbearable to look at." Nangong Rui slammed the book on the table, preparing to rummage through drawers to get his own cultivation method, which was also almost worn out from being read so many times.
"So this is how they cultivate, the rumors make it sound so miraculous." Nangong Rui said with some disdain.
"You old codger, why are you being so conservative? The Shu Kingdom's internal energy cultivation methods are far superior to those of your Nanyang. In terms of internal strength, the Nanyang methods are absolutely no match for the Shu Kingdom's."
"Only through this kind of cultivation that achieves harmony between man and nature can one reach the highest realm. What do you know, you old fool!" Wang Fengru raised her eyebrows, her face full of disdain and contempt.
Wang Fengru ignored Nangong Rui and looked at Yun Duoduo, saying kindly, "Granddaughter, watch carefully!"
Wang Fengru sat up straight, gathered her energy, closed her eyes, and stretched out a palm. Then she suddenly opened her eyes and struck out with the palm. Suddenly, there seemed to be subtle fluctuations in the air. In the next instant, the vase in the corner was shattered.
【Wow!】
Yun Duoduo stared wide-eyed at the shattered vase on the ground.
[This...this is the legendary ability to shatter a vase from a distance!]
[Such profound internal strength!]
Yun Duoduo felt dizzy. The world she came to was truly amazing. It turned out that internal energy and internal strength really existed in ancient times. It turned out that what was described in martial arts novels was all true.
She has even started to believe in gods, Buddhas, and reincarnation.
Are there gods in this world? Probably not, right? They probably don't exist...
Wang Fengru withdrew her hand and looked at Yun Duoduo triumphantly.
Wang Fengru was very satisfied with Yun Duoduo's dumbfounded expression.
"You old shrew, that's my favorite vase!" Empress Dowager Nangong Rui slapped Wang Fengru on the shoulder in a fit of rage.
"Oh dear, what are you panicking about? You old fool, you can't take this broken vase with you when you die. I just have to prove to Duoduo that my internal strength is no joke!"
...
Inside the royal chambers of Northern Liang, Chen Yuan handed Baili Yingfeng a cup of tea.
"Have you sent anyone to protect Consort Nan?"
"I've already sent secret guards over there."
Baili Yingfeng nodded and accepted the tea.
"How's the investigation on the assassin going?"
"Your Majesty, regarding the ambush we fell into on the official road last time, I went to investigate. Judging from the arrow fletching, it pointed to the Left Wise King, but upon closer inspection, the material of the arrow shaft seems to be the work of the Right Wise King." Chen Yuan reported the assassin's situation to Baili Yingfeng.
"Oh?" Baili Yingfeng raised an eyebrow.
"This arrow shaft is made of willow." Chen Yuan placed the arrow shaft in front of Baili Yingfeng.
"you mean……"
"My guess is that the assassin might want us to suspect the Left Wise King,"
"After all, it's easy to fake arrow fletching, but it's much more difficult and costly to fake arrow shafts."
Baili Yingfeng pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The Right Wise King's territory is in Xijing, while the willows are produced in Xijing of Beiliang, which is precisely where the Right Wise King's power lies."
"It seems this operation was rather hasty. They didn't even prepare the evidence to plant before these assassins went into action. Did they really think they could kill me with such meager skills?!"
"These people," Baili Yingfeng shook his head with amusement.
"Do they really think I'm a fool, that I didn't know about those actions?!"
...
Inside the Right Wise King's residence, a middle-aged man in a brown-black brocade robe, with small eyes and a hooked nose, was leisurely feeding birds and watching crickets fight. A general in full armor walked over and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Your Highness, the Second Young Master sent men to assassinate the King, but they failed."
"What?!" The Right Wise King's eyes widened in anger, and he smashed the jade cup containing birdseed on the ground.
"That stupid, utterly idiotic bastard!"
“Bai Li Yingfeng is just a greenhorn, he won’t cause any trouble. Why did the second prince send someone to assassinate him?” The Right Wise King said angrily, hands on his hips.
"The second young master said that the best time to assassinate His Majesty is in the deep mountains and forests after he leaves the palace," the general replied, bowing his head.
"Whom did they send?"
"They sent assassins from the Red Array Hall in Xijing; they shouldn't suspect us," the armored general whispered.
"The assassins from the Red Array Gang back home..."
"Alright, you can go now. Tell that brat not to make any rash moves without my instructions."
"That son of a bitch, he's a real headache for me." The Right Wise King was furious at his son's lack of ambition.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After the general left, a person came out from behind the pillar.
"Your Highness, Xijing is like a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching, with Zijin Mountain stretching from north to south, just like a giant dragon lying in wait."
“Stone Mountain stands steeply by the river, like a tiger crouching. You occupy this land of royal power, and you will surely rule the world!” Wang Youcai, the strategist of the Right Wise King, said in a low voice.
This person has an underbite, with a protruding chin and forehead. He is not tall and has a round body.
Despite his unremarkable and even somewhat ugly appearance, Wang Youcai was full of wicked ideas.
Upon hearing his words, the Right Wise King was immediately in high spirits. This Western Capital, with its dragon-like and tiger-like formations and the Purple Mountain stretching from north to south, occupies a place imbued with royal aura. Wouldn't the future imperial throne be mine?
Hmph, everyone says that I am second only to the emperor, and I'm sure that soon I will be the supreme ruler!
"Sir, what brilliant ideas do you have?" The Right Wise King squinted his small eyes, sniffed with his hooked nose, stroked the sparse beard on his chin, and looked at the round, short strategist Wang Youcai beside him with shining eyes.
"Your Highness, what do you think of this..."
...?
