Chapter 1401 - 1401 50 Is Wang Shouzhe the Big Villain_5

Chapter 1401: Chapter 50: Is Wang Shouzhe the Big Villain?_5 Chapter 1401: Chapter 50: Is Wang Shouzhe the Big Villain?_5 “Yo yo, Shouzhe lad, you dare to threaten Us?” Emperor Longchang trembled with anger, “I forbid your Wang family from leaving, and I forbid you from moving your properties away.”

“Your Majesty, we of the Wang family are your subjects, not your slaves.” Wang Shouzhe said calmly, “All properties of our Wang family are legally obtained and are protected by the Daqian Law. As the legitimate Family Head of the Wang family according to ancestral and national laws, I am free to sell or move. You, on the other hand, are the Emperor of Daqian, not the law itself!”

“Heh, Shouzhe lad, you’re really going against Us, then I’ll stop being reasonable. I’ll just bully you with my might, how about that?” Emperor Longchang, fueled with anger, said grudgingly, “I do have a temper too.”

“Sacred Master.” Wang Shouzhe gave a bow to Jiang Zhencang, “Your Sacred Land has the duty to supervise Daqian under the Immortal Palace, protecting the human race. The grand Emperor of Daqian plans to be unreasonable and overpower by force, bullying a mere Fifth Grade Prominent Family, and you stand by doing nothing? I suggest listing such a tyrant as one of the top ten wanted criminals of the Immortal Dynasty.”

“Heh, you lad… I haven’t lost my temper yet, you don’t know what Prince Wang is capable of…”

“Alright, alright, Longchang, shut up; Shouzhe, don’t purposely provoke Longchang,” Jiang Zhencang looked helplessly at these two incompatible fellows, “Longchang, I think there’s some reason in what Shouzhe said. Daqian is finally seeing some improvement, and being at the Whirlpool Center of the struggle between the Immortal Dynasty and the Demonic Dynasty is definitely no good.”

“Do we just watch a great opportunity for battle slip away?” Emperor Longchang coldly snorted dissatisfiedly, “I remember Shouzhe lad once said that war must bring benefits. At worst, I and Old Jiang will lead the troops into the enemy country, raid and plunder.”

“If you want to go, you go. I, Sacred Master, cannot do such things.” Jiang Zhencang stared fiercely at him, “You better listen carefully to what Shouzhe has to plan next.”

“Is that all the ambition you have, Your Majesty?” Wang Shouzhe sighed.

“That’s all the ambition I have, huh! Unsatisfied?” Emperor Longchang huffed and puffed, “Quick, tell us your cunning plans. My hunger is triggered by anger. I want to eat Immortal Spirit Rice today.”

“Delay strategy.” Wang Shouzhe summarized briefly, “We reject West Jin in the west and block South Qin in the south, defending as attack, fighting a long-lasting war of attrition. While using the advantages of time and geography to gradually weaken the national strength of South Qin and West Jin, we continue our previous economic development plan, diligently manage Daqian, train our army, and steadily become stronger. Over time, South Qin and West Jin will grow weaker, while Daqian will only grow stronger.”

“At that time, Daqian’s comprehensive strength will be multiple times theirs, and we will have plenty of means to deal with South Qin and West Jin.”

“The plan does sound good,” Jiang Zhencang said, “But the kings of South Qin and West Jin are not fools and will continually attack our defense lines.”

“Hope! Hope is a magical power.” Wang Shouzhe said, “We need to give South Qin and West Jin hope, making them believe that just a little more effort could break through the border. This situation will have to rely on our acting skills.”

“Meanwhile, the Demon Lord Xietong, who is eyeing the Blood Venerate’s relics, must also be baited. We have to occasionally give him hope as well as a sense of crisis, for instance, our intelligence could be divided into several parts—Wang family is about to decipher the guarding Formation, oh no, Wang family has entered the relic’s entrance but is temporarily blocked, bad news, Wang family breached the First Layer…”

“At that time, the desperate Blood Venerate will employ all means, coercing and tempting South Qin and West Jin.”

Through this discourse, Emperor Longchang, enlightened, slapped his thigh and said: “I see now, to Demon Lord Xietong, the Blood Venerate’s relics are like forbidden fruit, akin to his own bride.”

“Because the intelligence was blocked, he has no clue that his so-called possession, the bride, has already been tampered with by Wang Shouzhe. Worse still, Shouzhe lad is quite wicked, occasionally sneaking in words to the Blood Venerate, ‘I’m about to tear the bride’s clothes, she’s resisting fiercely.’ And then, ‘The bride’s clothes are torn, I am entering…’ ” Emperor Longchang grew more excited as he spoke, his enthusiasm showing.

“Cough, cough!” Wang Shouzhe hurriedly interrupted him, “Your Majesty, could you use a different metaphor? It doesn’t sound good if spread.”

“What, are you scared?” Emperor Longchang sniffed, “In any case, Shouzhe lad, you are utterly a big villain, and before one knows it, one would have fallen for your tricks. Old Jiang and I, just happen to have become your accomplices and enforcers!”

Even Jiang Zhencang couldn’t help feeling deeply moved: “Shouzhe truly has unparalleled wits, originally the crisis of the Blood Venerate peering at the relics and South Qin and West Jin united assaulting, has been entirely turned to our advantage by you, forming a lethal trap.”

“Forget it, forget it, I admit you lad have some plotting skills,” Emperor Longchang said, “Anyway, I’m just here to continue watching the show. Is today’s meeting over yet? Isn’t there a working meal? I haven’t eaten Immortal Spirit Rice in five days already.”

As soon as Immortal Spirit Rice was mentioned, even Jiang Zhencang’s throat gurgled. He realized Longchang had one advantage—that was thick-skinned.

He, Master Jiang, never dreamt that one day he would end up sharing a meal of Immortal Spirit Rice with Longchang.
