Chapter 517

"Did you do something?"

Wang Jian's brows immediately furrowed, and he stared at Wang Ben's gaze.

The sharpness in that pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through Wang Ben's heart.

After Wang Ben and his father stared at each other for a few seconds, he awkwardly looked away.

"No."

He hurriedly explained.

"I just feel that if we help Imperial Prince Hu Hai sit in that position, we can preserve the glory of our Wang family."

Wang Ben explained.

"Both princes have the possibility of ascending to that position; everyone has not made a choice yet."

"You really are a good one."

Wang Jian's gaze turned cold.

He stared at Wang Ben for a long time.

Ultimately, he closed his eyes and said in a weary voice.

"During this time, you will stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere."

"You may go."

Wang Ben did not expect that doing this would still not be able to change his father's mind.

A glimmer of anxiety appeared in the depths of his eyes.

But he quickly restrained it.

At such a critical moment, he must not arouse his father's vigilance.

"This child will return first."

After saying this, Wang Ben left the courtyard.

Wang Jian, after his son left, opened his eyes.

He looked coldly at Wang Ben's back, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

He always felt that this son seemed to be hiding something from him.

His brows furrowed.

"Send a message to Imperial Prince Fusu, saying that I, this old man, will personally visit Imperial Prince Fusu tomorrow."

Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

Since their Wang family has already been in contact with Hu Hai, to maintain balance, the best way is to also be in contact with Fusu.

Otherwise, it is very easy to be labeled with Hu Hai's tag.

At this time, once labeled with someone's tag, it is not a favorable situation for their Wang family.

"Yes."

The guard beside him quickly retreated.

Wang Ben, after returning to his room, had a cold expression.

He didn't expect that even after he had gone this far, his father still wouldn't agree to support Hu Hai.

"Someone come."

Wang Ben said.

Immediately, a man in black appeared before him.

This person is his own guard, who only takes orders from him.

"Privately gather a group of men."

"Do not let Father know about this matter at all."

Wang Ben said with a cold expression.

This subordinate, upon hearing his master's words, had a look of surprise on his face.

But a face mask covered his face, so Wang Ben did not see it.

"Yes."

Guards do not need to know why their master is doing this.

They only need to complete the tasks issued by their master.

…………

Borderlands, on the desolate vast grassland.

The Xiongnu, who were originally scattered in various places, gathered together again.

"Come, drink."

"This wine brewed by the Great Qin people is just not strong enough."

Several big men sat around a campfire, eating meat and drinking wine.

And this wine was all snatched from the Great Qin side.

After all, they have no way to produce wine in large quantities.

"Tomorrow we will elect a new leader; it is time to launch an attack on Great Qin."

"The tribesmen need a batch of supplies to get through this winter."
