Chapter 148

"Sigh!"

Wang Jian let out a sigh!

At this very moment, there were many things to regret.

Regretting not going to see the First Emperor was one aspect!

Regretting later giving the First Emperor advice and sending assassins to capture Ying Su alive was another aspect!

He even regretted getting involved in this matter!

Or rather, he should never have contacted Ying Su in the first place!

But... thinking back carefully on all this, he seemed to be completely passive!

When Ying Su first came to the Wang family, he had pretended to be ill and refused to see him!

Afterwards, no matter how Ying Su asked after his health, he kept pretending to be ill.

Even when the First Emperor summoned him later, he had no choice!

When the First Emperor summoned him, could he refuse to see him?

Everything, absolutely everything, was extremely passive, entirely beyond his own control!

"Sigh!"

"What should be done!"

Wang Jian shook his head and sighed again and again!

Just as he was worrying, suddenly the steward ran over in a hurry: "Master, the new Emperor... the new Emperor has arrived!"

"What?"

"The new Emperor?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Wang Jian jolted and nearly fell to the ground.

At that moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he had no idea how to respond!

Yes!

How to respond!

He had just attacked Outside Xianyanggong, and now they had arrived immediately after.

Wasn't this clearly coming to seek revenge?

"Master! How about I arrange for men to lie in ambush in the garden? If he steps in, I will immediately capture him alive!"

The steward spoke up.

Hearing this, Wang Jian slapped the steward hard across the face:

"How dare you!"

The steward cried out: "But what if he wants to destroy our Wang family?"

"Huff..."

Wang Jian took a deep breath, and finally, gulped down a mouthful of strong tea!

"Meet soldiers with a general, meet water with earth!"

Having said that!

He gulped down another cup of strong tea!

At the Damenkou of the Great Qin's Upper General's residence!

In the blink of an eye, Ying Su arrived here!

And as soon as he entered, Wang Jian led the entire family, young and old, to bow before Ying Su: "Welcome, Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Oh! Old General, your illness is cured!"

Ying Su smiled and walked straight to Wang Jian, starting to help him up!

Wang Jian was terrified and quickly bowed: "Thanks to Your Majesty the Emperor's concern, my condition has improved greatly!"

Ying Su nodded and said: "Good, good, but Old General must also be careful. Since your illness has just improved, do not go out walking casually, to avoid a relapse!"

While speaking, he pulled Wang Jian's hand and walked towards the center of the courtyard!

Wang Jian broke out in cold sweat all over!

He bowed to Ying Su: "Your subject! Humbly obeys the imperial decree!"

Ying Su nodded: "Alright, I am here to find Wang Lan. Is she here?"

"She is!"

"Lan'er, come quickly and pay respects to Your Majesty the Emperor!"

As Wang Jian spoke, he hurriedly called Wang Lan out!

Then, the two of them entered the small garden as usual!

As for what they went to do, no one else knew except the two of them!

Watching the two figures from behind, Wang Jian kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead!

He kept trying to guess Ying Su's intentions, but... he couldn't figure it out!

Was he here to demand an accounting?

But... this posture didn't look like that at all!

If he really were here to demand an accounting, he shouldn't have come alone this time!

That's right, he came completely alone, not even bringing Li Cunxiao!

Not only did he not bring Li Cunxiao, he didn't bring the garrison army, nor Yu Yu Huatian!

Even the eunuch Chong Xin, who often followed him, was not brought!

He came completely alone!

Could it be... an ambush lying in wait?

Wang Jian had this suspicion, yet... he dared not send anyone to investigate.

What if they truly brought people?

If I order someone to investigate and they are discovered, reporting to Ying Su, how will Ying Su interpret it?

Oh!

I, Ying Su, did not bring anyone; does that mean you, Wang Jian, are free to act as you please?

Then...

Cold sweat poured down Wang Jian's forehead like a waterfall!

So he is not here to demand accountability?

Wang Jian guessed!

But... it doesn't feel like that either!

I even attacked Outside Xianyanggong, yet they do not demand accountability? How is that possible?

Or perhaps... he simply does not know I attacked Outside Xianyanggong?

How could that be!

Does he really think Ying Su is blind, an incompetent, foolish ruler?

That little brat is clever, cunning as a monkey; what could possibly be hidden from him!

Moreover, my attack on Outside Xianyanggong was no top secret; the entire army of one hundred fifty thousand outside the city walls knows.

Even the garrison troops under his command know.

How could he possibly not know about this!

Knowing it, yet not coming to demand accountability.

What on earth does this mean!

Wang Jian's scalp went numb.

The more he pondered, the more terrified he became!

Inside the small garden!

Regardless of how terrified Wang Jian was.

At this moment, Wang Lan was simply nestled in Ying Su's arms!

"Strange, why isn't my grandfather pretending to be sick today?"

Wang Lan looked at Ying Su with a face full of confusion!

Ying Su laughed: "So your grandfather has been pretending to be sick all along!"

"Why have you never told me that!"
