Chapter 136

"Bring only... one person?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Meng Yi's eyes shone even brighter!

Zhang Han's eyes shone just as brightly.

At that moment, both their gazes turned toward Wang Jian!

Wang Jian inhaled lightly; at this very moment, even he had to admire Facing Ying Su's boldness!

Without Li Yuanba by his side, he dared to go out bringing only one person.

But... the bolder Facing Ying Su was, the less Wang Jian dared to move against him!

Daring to come to his residence with only one person—what a great trust this was!

And the more Facing Ying Su trusted him, the less he dared to act rashly!

It was a joke; with such trust, if he acted on his own, this grudge could never be resolved.

Without exaggeration, if Facing Ying Su ascends the throne in the future, the Wang family is finished!

Forget marrying Wang Lan off to him; even if all the women of the Wang family were offered to Facing Ying Su, this grudge could not be resolved!

After his death, the Wang family would surely face the Mie Sect!

"Just... only one person? Are there others hidden in the shadows?"

Wang Jian's brows tightened as he glared fiercely at the butler!

And how could one become Wang Jian's butler without being an extraordinary person?

He too was a person as sharp as a human spirit.

He didn't understand just now, but now, he understood immediately!

So, he wasted no time and reported again:

"We do not know how many are hidden, but... when he entered the Wang family gate, all the trees surrounding the Wang family were swaying! At the same time, we heard movements on the roof!"

"Did he bring people?"

Hearing the butler's words, Meng Yi's eyebrows knitted tightly!

Zhang Han bowed to Wang Jian and said, "Old General, may I ask how many people are in your residence?"

Wang Jian waved his hand and said, "My residence is filled entirely with old brothers who followed me, Wang Jian, through life and death in years past. They are either crippled or old; in short, they are all widowed and alone. Here, they merely seek a job; they cannot fight!"

"Old General, your high moral character shines!"

Meng Yi admired and bowed down!

But at the same time, he could not help but ask, "Then... does Old General know how long Facing Ying Su will stay here?"

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "I am not clear!"

"But... I feel he will not stay for too long; perhaps half a cup of tea and he will leave!"

As he spoke, he sighed.

"This..."

Zhang Han frowned fiercely!

Finally, he bowed to Wang Jian and said, "Trouble you, General, to delay this person with all your ability; Meng Yi and I will immediately go to mobilize troops!"

"Without Li Yuanba, mobilizing five thousand men will be enough to capture him!"

As they spoke, they were about to rise and leave!

Wang Jian frowned fiercely, and finally nodded, saying:

"You two, go quickly and return quickly! I will find a way to delay!"

In the blink of an eye, they left; and just as they had just left his sight, Wang Jian shouted angrily at the butler, "What are you still staring at? Go quickly!"

"W-where... where to?"

The butler was bewildered!

Wang Jian roared, "Knock them unconscious! Do you think... we can really let them do harm to my Wang family?"

"But remember, only knock them unconscious; under no circumstances harm their lives. By the way, disguise yourselves as the Outside Xianyanggong Guard!"

"This matter was done by Facing Ying Su; it has nothing to do with us!"

After he finished speaking, he left quickly.

He needed to find Wang Lan!

It was not that he wanted to use Wang Lan to send a warning to Facing Ying Su.

Rather, he wanted Wang Lan to will find a way to prevent Facing Ying Su from staying here too long!

At that moment, he truly exerted all his efforts!

In the garden, in the blink of an eye, Facing Ying Su arrived!

And Wang Lan had already been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Facing Ying Su, she immediately let out a cold snort, "So many days without coming over; what evil deeds did you go do?"

Facing Ying Su immediately wrapped an arm around Wang Lan's slender waist and smiled, "Busy with state affairs!"

"Hmph!"

Wang Lan let out a cold snort; finally, she leaned directly into Facing Ying Su's embrace and began to sigh, "It's a pity; you won't stay here long!"

Facing Ying Su was stunned, "Why?"

Wang Lan said, "Because my father won't let me stay with you for too long!"

Facing Ying Su laughed, "When has he ever let us stay together for too long?"

Wang Lan laughed, "It seems so!"

Facing Ying Su said, "So, do we need to care about him?"

Wang Lan shook her head, "No need; absolutely no need!"

Facing Ying Su said, "So what? What are we doing now?"

Wang Lan's face flushed red, and she led Facing Ying Su straight toward that small cave!

The sun set behind the western mountains, and the sky grew dark!

Wang Jian peered through the brick wall's cracks, staring longingly at the small garden; at this very moment, he only wished Facing Ying Su would hurry and leave!

Really, hurry and leave!

If they don't leave now, Meng Yi and Zhang Han won't be able to hold out much longer!

You see, their heads have been knocked four times already, and they've been knocked unconscious four times!

Even... the butler came to report, saying they can't be knocked anymore; if they keep knocking, they'll surely be knocked to death!

"Fool!"

"If we can't knock them, can't we just give them some medicine to make them sleep?"

Wang Jian cursed furiously!

The butler was in tears: "Master, medicine that makes people sleep can at most only make them unconscious for three double-hours, and moreover, for most people, it can only be used once a day; exceeding twice will cause poisoning!"

Wang Jian was completely dazed; at this very moment, he could only pray over and over in his heart:

"Hurry! Hurry and leave!"

"If you don't leave now, we really won't be able to hold out!"

Wang Jian gritted his teeth in anger.

And amidst his expectations, by evening, Facing Ying Su finally left.

Wang Jian immediately went to the room where Meng Yi and Zhang Han were detained!

After quite a bit of trouble, they finally managed to wake them up!

Meng Yi's face was full of shock: "Old General... we... what happened to us?"

Zhang Han repeatedly clutched the back of his neck, crying out constantly that his head hurt!

Wang Jian sighed, "The rebellious son Facing Ying Su is too cunning, and the people under him are even worse; seeing strangers arrive, to avoid exposing the new Emperor's whereabouts, they simply knocked you out and threw you by the roadside!"

"So that's how it is!"

Meng Yi and Zhang Han both nodded.

And seeing the way they believed it completely!

Wang Jian's heart cried out over and over, "What a sin, what a sin!"

Isn't this a great sin?

As he was sighing, Meng Yi spoke up: "Then... what about tonight?"

"Are we still taking action tonight?"

He asked, looking at the sky; now the sky had turned completely black.
