surnamed Wang

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked.The founding heroes of the past dynasties inevitably met a tragic end.

After all, some people still don't believe this truth that has been said so badly by predecessors.

After passing through the capital, Wang Yijing realized that people's hearts are sinister, and he subconsciously classified the King of Wu who he had not yet met as such.

The convoy continued to travel southwest. It could have reached Xi'an Town in more than a month, but it took the group three months.

In the middle of the journey, Liu Mujin changed into an ordinary woman's attire to hide her from others.

After several months of observation, Wang Yijing found that the woman was far from as weak as she appeared. Especially when bandits blocked the road, she gave an order with no expression on her face to leave no one alive.

It is not uncommon for a woman to be better than a man, but it is rare in the world for a woman to be well-born, outstandingly intelligent, and at the same time cold-blooded.

What will happen to the man who dares to marry her?

On the bullock cart, the woman was wearing a headscarf, and her body lacked a lot of nobility.

Wang Yijing stared at the other party, as if he no longer cared about the so-called etiquette.

"Why do you keep looking at me, son?"

The woman's voice was still gentle, but the young man would no longer be deceived by appearances and said bluntly:
"Sister Princess, you really hide your secrets. I'm just blind."

The woman was no longer as shy as she used to be, she looked into the distance with a calm expression and said:
"shocked?"

"That's not the case, you just remind me of someone."

"Who?"

"My grandma."

"..."

"Don't get me wrong, it's just that the feelings are similar. She is just like you, a very remarkable woman. If it weren't for my obscure grandfather, she might have become a rare female general."

Liu Mujin smiled slightly, turned her head and said:

"How dare you be sure that I am the real me now? Maybe like before, I did it deliberately to show to outsiders."

"To be honest, until now, I still dare not say that I have seen the whole picture clearly. But through you, I can probably guess what kind of person King Wu is."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"First of all, when my sister married His Highness King Wu, he must have been a rare and handsome man with great ambitions and ideals.

As for now, there is a high probability that I am in an awkward position. Although I have high aspirations, due to limited conditions, I have to let you do some men's dirty work.

The princess is not a murderous person. She had to be ruthless for the sake of His Highness. She must have been a bad person more than once when she talked to those generals before. Otherwise, with the courage of the warriors, the matter would have been exposed long ago. "

The woman rarely showed surprise. In order to silence those people, she did do some disgraceful things, some of which she even found despicable.

Liu Mujin stared at the other party, and after a moment, he sincerely praised:

"It should be because I underestimated you. With such an ability to read people's hearts, even if you don't have extraordinary martial arts, you will be regarded as a guest of honor by King Wu when you go back."

"The princess is so complimentary. If I had been willing to use my brain to think earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation today."

"Losing you was the biggest mistake of the capital city." The woman sighed.

Liu Mujin's journey was not smooth. As the other party said, she was a woman. The generals were polite on the surface, but in fact they looked down upon her from the beginning.

Although coercion and inducement played a certain role, the hearts and minds gained by this were not strong, and the man in front of him might be the key to subverting the situation.

Wang Yijing saw that the other party was thinking and looked away. He seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he started to laugh secretly in his heart.I don't have the ability to predict people's hearts. Most of the things I did were learned from the old groom using alcohol. Every time that guy got drunk, he didn't even tell anyone about the mole on his butt.

Although he was not greedy for power and fame, since the princess was so sure that she would join them, she had to do it beforehand, even if it was just a bluff.

As a hundred-year-old monster, Wang Yijing has a lot of famous names on him, such as the grandson of the emperor, the general, the ancestor of the Yang family... There is always some pride, so he will not be willing to be a pawn in the charge.

……

When the sun was fading, the convoy returned to Xi'an, the southwest military town.

The town looked particularly dilapidated in the twilight, and the situation was much different from what Wang Yijing expected.

The princess never talked much about King Wu in front of him. Judging from his confidence, he should be a wise king who ruled the country well, but according to what he saw along the way, that didn't seem to be the case.

The common people are all sallow and thin, and many of them are crowded into leaky grass huts. Summer is easy to say, but in autumn and winter, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.

Seeing that his face was a bit ugly, Liu Muxin smiled helplessly and said:
"As you said, our current situation is a bit embarrassing. We've already arrived, why not go in and take a look before making a decision?"

Wang Yijing nodded, picked up the bamboo hat and put it on his head. There were imperial spies all over the city. If they knew his identity, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the capital.

……

As soon as he entered the city gate, the young man felt his eyes were shaken by something. He looked up and found the golden dome of a gorgeous palace.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the palace that was incompatible with the surrounding dilapidated buildings looked extremely eye-catching.

Remembering what the woman had just said, he pulled the brim of his hat and suppressed the urge to leave in his heart.

There is only a wall separating the inside and outside of the palace, but the situation is completely different. The palace under construction uses luxurious materials and the level of sophistication is almost as high as that of the imperial palace in the capital.

Looking at the workers in shabby clothes, Wang Yijing frowned deeper. His expression was hidden under the bamboo hat, but he unconsciously revealed murderous intent.

Several figures suddenly jumped down from the roof, surrounding him. Before he could reach for the sword at his waist, the princess's cold voice sounded:
"Everyone, please step aside. The prince is my invited guest."

Looking up again, there were no other people on the scene. Wang Yijing narrowed his eyes slightly. This palace was more crouching tiger, hidden dragon than he expected.

"Sir, don't mind. They are all dead warriors. They are too sensitive. Sometimes I will be shocked."

Liu Mujin explained awkwardly, fearing that the other party would be prejudiced against King Wu, so she walked away directly.

Often the more capable people are, the weirder their tempers are.

Unexpectedly, the young man smiled and said calmly:
"It's just that I overreacted. To be able to cultivate such a skilled warrior, I think His Highness King Wu is not an ordinary person."

In the main hall not far from the two of them, Wang Siheng and his counselor stood by the window and looked at the square. They had a panoramic view of the scene just now.

The young man named Guan Changsheng said with slight hesitation:
"Isn't this person too showy when he attracts dead soldiers to appear as soon as he arrives?"

"It doesn't matter, he acted like this after seeing what happened to the people. If he sees me oppressing the people in this way and remains indifferent, no matter how powerful I am, I will not dare to use it."

"It's easy to break if it's too strong. Aren't you afraid of getting hurt by it?"

"Those who achieve great things must be able to tolerate others, otherwise I will be just like Zhao Qi? Let's go and meet him."

The master and servant left the main hall and went straight to meet the two of them. In order to appear sincere, the man greeted them from afar:
"Young Master Wang, you are welcome from afar."

The young man still knew etiquette, he cupped his fists in the distance and said:

"Your Highness King Wu, I have long admired your name."
