Because everyone knew Zhenxi General Ouyang Chengren disliked women, when Ouyang Chengren had just finished tidying up and was preparing to sleep, suddenly Wangchen slipped in through his window, which truly surprised him somewhat.
Ouyang Chengren furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Wangchen, and asked: "It's so late, what business do you have coming to my place?"
Wangchen smiled faintly and replied: "Still the previous matter. I suppose what the Emperor talked to you about today has something to do with that young lady you brought back?"
Ouyang Chengren's heart tightened, but it did not show on his face, and he said indifferently: "What does that have to do with you?"
Seeing this, Wangchen hurriedly said: "General Ouyang, I know you have deep feelings for that young lady, but the current situation is complex. Are you really not considering cooperating with the Crown Prince?"
Ouyang Chengren remained silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Cooperate? Why should I cooperate with the Crown Prince?"
Wangchen patiently explained: "His Highness the Crown Prince greatly admires General's talent. If you can cooperate, it will not only benefit General himself, but also be a good thing for the country."
Ouyang Chengren snorted coldly and said: "I, Ouyang Chengren, am loyal only to the Emperor. Other matters have nothing to do with me."
Seeing Ouyang Chengren's firm attitude, Wangchen changed his approach: "General, you know in your heart how the Emperor treats you; no need for me to say more. My suggestion is that you can consider it, and not put all your eggs in one basket."
Ouyang Chengren's complexion changed slightly, but soon returned to calm. He said: "The Emperor is just that kind of person."
Wangchen shook his head helplessly and said: "Since that's the case, then I have nothing more to say.
However, General, I still hope you can seriously consider the matter of cooperating with the Crown Prince. After all, even if you won't consider for yourself, you should consider for that young lady. After all, that young lady, although currently living in the General's Mansion, may not necessarily be safe."
Ouyang Chengren was silent for a while, suddenly recalling what the Emperor said to him today, and the Kongming lanterns released today. He hesitated in his heart, and after a long while, slowly opened his mouth to say: "I can agree to you, but I have one condition."
Wangchen looked at Ouyang Chengren somewhat surprised, not expecting him to agree so readily. He hurriedly asked: "General, just one condition? What is it?"
Ouyang Chengren said: "I have only one condition. After this war ends, let me relinquish my military power. I only want to travel the beautiful rivers and mountains with my beloved."
Wangchen nodded and said: "Alright, I understand. I'll go back and report to the Crown Prince now. As for subsequent actions, wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to notify."
Ouyang Chengren nodded, watching Wangchen slip out through the window.
He knew that his decision just now might bring some unexpected consequences, but he could no longer care about so much. He could not let anyone hurt Qianqian, not even Ouyang Chengqi.
And Wangchen rushed to the Crown Prince's Qin Gong without stopping, needing to tell the Crown Prince Ouyang Chengren's decision as soon as possible.,
However, on this journey, his heart could never be calm. He kept complaining in his heart: Ouyang Chengren, this person who was always iron-hearted, actually had such a deep affectionate side. This was truly inconceivable.
He couldn't help but secretly speculate: what kind of woman could make Ouyang Chengren so obsessed, even willing to go against his original intention?
Regarding love, he had always scorned it. In his eyes, so-called love was nothing but an illusory thing, worthless.
He firmly believed he would never be like Ouyang Chengren, losing himself for a woman.
Just like that, thoughts surged into his heart like a tide. Unknowingly, he had already arrived at Ouyang Qianqiu's Qin Gong.
Ouyang Qianqiu at this time had not yet woken up, lazily lying on the couch. Holding a book in his hand, he waited for Wangchen's return.
Not long after, Wangchen hurried back.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ouyang Qianqiu like this. Seeing Wangchen, Ouyang Qianqiu immediately put down the book in his hand and asked impatiently: "How is it?"
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Wangchen's face, and he replied: "Done, he agreed."
Hearing this, Ouyang Qianqiu's heart instantly exploded like fireworks, overjoyed. However, he still tried to keep himself calm and continued to ask: "What condition did he say?"
Wangchen hesitated slightly, then answered: "He said he only wants to relinquish his military power and travel these beautiful rivers and mountains with his beloved."
Ouyang Qianqiu really couldn't hold it in anymore. Like a child, he laughed heartily without restraint. The laughter echoed in the room, as if it would break through the roof.
"Hahahaha, I really didn't expect it. My Imperial Uncle is actually a deep affection kind of person!" Ouyang Qianqiu sighed while laughing.
Wangchen standing beside also laughed along, flatteringly saying: "Congratulations, Master. You finally got your wish!"
Ouyang Qianqiu was in a great mood. He patted Wangchen's shoulder and said with a smile: "This also has your share of credit. You ran back and forth so many times. It really wasn't in vain."
"Rest assured. I see your efforts and keep them in my heart. After I take down this Xishang Kingdom, I will definitely give you a big official position and bestow you a mansion, so you can also be glorious."
Hearing Ouyang Qianqiu's words, he hurriedly pretended to be happy, knelt down, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept saying in his mouth: "Thank you, Master, for your grace! Thank you, Master, for your grace! Subordinate will surely be loyal to the death to Master, willing to sacrifice brains and body, without hesitation!"
Ouyang Qianqiu saw Wangchen so loyal and was very satisfied in his heart. He waved his hand, gesturing for Wangchen to get up, then said: "Alright, get up. That's all for today. You should also go back and rest early."
After thanking Ouyang Qianqiu, Wangchen withdrew. However, Qianqian's every smile and frown kept appearing in his mind.
Especially when he was assassinated and his consciousness was blurred, the sight of Master anxiously asking An Wang to save him, and Master's concerned words when he was injured, were all deeply imprinted in his heart.
Wangchen knew that although he was only an Anqi, Master had never treated him as an outsider, but treated him like family. This grace of recognition and employment, he would surely keep in his heart and never dare forget.
Since returning to Xishang Kingdom, Wangchen's heart was filled with coldness and determination.
He seemed to have become a ruthless revenge machine, with only one goal in his heart—to complete his revenge. However, whenever he thought of Qianqian, the emotions sealed deep in his heart would be touched, making him realize he was not completely without feelings.
Qianqian, the woman who left a deep mark in his life, became his only warmth.
Wangchen secretly made up his mind. He must resolve the matters of Xishang Kingdom as soon as possible, then return to Master's side and continue to be that carefree little Anqi.
