Wang Shilu was a smart man. He knew that at such a juncture, the third prince would never mention his grandson without any reason.
When he said this, he was obviously threatening himself with his grandson!
If they cooperate, then everyone will get what they want and everyone will be happy.
If he doesn't cooperate, his grandson's future career may not be easy either!
He is already old, but his grandson's official career has just begun.
What he carries on his shoulders are all the expectations of himself and the Wang family!
Wang Shilu was silent for a long time, and finally, he could only sigh silently.
"Your Highness, I am willing to listen to your orders!"
After receiving Wang Shilu's affirmative answer, Song Liang instantly smiled.
"I have known for a long time that Lord Wang will never be just an old coward who is content with the status quo."
"Master Wang's performance really did not disappoint me!"
"Come, come, I'll give you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Wang Shilu felt very uneasy. Faced with Song Liang's active solicitation, he did not dare to say anything, so he could only pick up the teacup in panic.
"Your Highness, you are trying to offend me!"
"As an old minister, I can say that I have no regrets in this life."
"I only wish..."
Having said this, Wang Shilu glanced at Zhao Xuanling thoughtfully.
But Zhao Xuanling was so excited that she didn't notice the hesitation on Wang Shilu's face.
Song Liang was naturally proud. After all, he had found Wang Shilu's weakness, and he could now manipulate this highly respected bachelor at will.
"This matter cannot be taken carelessly and needs to be considered in the long term."
"Master Wang, just go back and listen to my arrangements."
Wang Shilu immediately stood up and bowed slowly to Song Liang.
"Yes... I understand!"
As soon as the old and young people walked out of the box door, Zhao Xuanling turned to Wang Shilu with joy and said, "Grandpa, you are so wise!"
"From now on, we can be regarded as having a relationship with the third prince!"
"Grandpa, if you can successfully assume the position of prime minister, that will be a great blessing!"
However, Wang Shilu's worries were all written on his face. Looking at his excited grandson beside him, he couldn't be happy at all.
"Do you really think this is a good thing?"
"We have been involved in the struggle between the princes for no reason. If we are not careful, we will become the abandoned son of the third prince and the cannon fodder of this war!"
"There are many talented people in the court. How virtuous and capable I am to be able to serve as the prime minister?"
Zhao Xuanling didn't take it seriously: "Grandpa, why do you need to belittle yourself?"
"In my grandson's opinion, the third prince is quite strategic and may become the future prince of Daliang!"
"Once the Third Prince successfully aspires to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the promises he made to you will naturally not go unfulfilled."
"In addition, you have high qualifications and high prestige in Wenyuan Pavilion."
"By that time, aren't you the legitimate candidate for prime minister?"
Looking at the innocent Zhao Xuanling, Wang Shilu wanted to speak several times, but he just sighed helplessly.
"I don't know what will happen in the future."
"But you must remember that if the necessary moment comes, you must learn to protect yourself wisely!"
"Even if I am behind bars, you must do your best to protect yourself!"
"Do you understand?"
Zhao Xuanling laughed: "Grandpa, what you said is too serious!"
"Since we have become involved with the Third Prince, how come we don't have His Highness the Third Prince to give us the truth?"
"No!" Wang Shilu was extremely serious, "You must swear to me now that you must learn to protect yourself!"
Seeing her grandfather speaking so harshly, Zhao Xuanling put away her smile and nodded seriously.
"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson understands!"
After watching the two figures walking away, Peisheng, who was waiting at the door of the box, returned to the box.
"Your Highness, Wang Shilu and Wang Shilu have left."
"Cough cough cough cough..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Peisheng suddenly coughed violently.
With this cough, a little blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Peisheng's miserable state, Song Liang's expression suddenly changed.
"The fourth child is too arrogant..."
"How dare he be so presumptuous in this king's place!"
"It's just too much!"
Peisheng quickly comforted him: "Your Highness, please calm down!"
"I believe that Prince Rong will definitely pay the price for his arrogance and rudeness in the future!"
"You must not mess up your position, let alone be angered by Prince Rong!"
"Since we can't do anything about him for the time being, it would be a good idea to attack the people around him!"
Peisheng comforted him with a few words, and Song Liang's mood gradually improved.
"By the way, where is Zhou Nan?"
"It's been so long, why haven't you come yet?"
Peisheng said: "I have sent someone to invite him, but Mr. Zhou is not at home. I don't know where he went."
Song Liang was stunned for a moment, and then became impatient: "You've only been in the capital for a few days, and you're still so nonstop?"
"The power behind Zhou Nan is too great, and it's really hard to discipline him!"
The smile on Peisheng's face was a bit mysterious: "Is your Highness afraid you have forgotten?"
"Before Mr. Zhou came to the capital, he exchanged several letters with Your Highness."
"Those letters are still in Mr. Zhou's hands now!"
"If you can get these letters back, Mr. Zhou will probably be a little more fearful, right?"
Song Liang glanced at Peisheng approvingly: "I think so too."
"These things are in his hands, it is better to leave them with me."
"By the way," Song Liang suddenly thought, "Where is Sun Shutong?"
"Is it still like this these days?"
Peisheng nodded: "It's still nonsense, you can't go out!"
Song Liang showed disgust: "This man is completely useless, so useless!"
"Without further delay, let's find someone to poison him to silence tonight."
"Lest he go out and say something nonsense again, which will harm me!"
Peisheng nodded and said respectfully: "Yes!"
…
At night.
"Punch out like a sword, tread like a dragon."
"Sturdy as a root, powerful as a rainbow..."
Song Huan was silently reciting the key points while practicing boxing on the pond in the backyard according to the body movements that Huo Qi had previously instructed.
The weather was getting colder day by day, and the ice on the pond was becoming more solid.
Now Song Huan stepped on the ice as if he were on flat ground, without any slipping feeling.
Now when standing, I can gradually bump up and down, and stand in what Huo Qi calls a "real horse stance."
And the zhenqi flowing around in the dantian is now becoming more regular and easier to control.
Maybe it won't be long before you can start formally practicing external energy.
Thinking of this, Song Huan felt ecstatic in his heart.
"call……"
After practicing a set of boxing techniques and stances, Song Huan exhaled a long breath and expelled all the turbid air from his body.
The white mist was like a sharp blade in the cold night, cutting straight through the bleak night sky.
