General Leng asked for a rebuff and left with a cold expression!
The Leng family was too arrogant. When Old General Wei was alive, he was not so proud.
He followed behind Old General Wei obediently.
Ever since something happened to the Wei family, General Leng, as Old
General Wei’s favorite disciple, had been assigned to the Wei family’s Huben Camp and the Divine Bow Camp. From then on, he had become a superior person. Wherever he went, he would be advocated as the Little Lord Wu An.
Wei Ting was clearly Wu An’s biological grandson and Wei Ting had defeated Northern Yan, but in the end, half of the credit was given to General Leng. It was said that he had assisted Wei Ting and guided him in resisting the enemy.
The Wei and Leng families were on the same side, and Wei Ting never cared about these false reputations. The rumors became more and more intense.
In the end, the story went that he had contributed a portion…
Xiao Zhonghua’s gaze swept across General Leng’s back. Soon, Leng Zhiruo and the other Leng family generals cupped their hands and bowed before leaving. “I’m tired.” The Old Marquis stood up and cupped his hands at Xiao Zhonghua.
Xiao Zhonghua nodded slightly.
Soon, only he, Jing Yi, and Changping were left in the tent.
Changping served tea.
Jing Yi said, “I don’t like General Leng.”
Xiao Zhonghua hit the nail on the head. ‘You’re doing this because she doesn’t like him, right?”
Jing Yi remained silent.
Xiao Zhonghua said, “How can there be so many people in this world who do things based on their preferences? You have to learn slowly in the future.”
JingYi said disdainfully, “I don’t want to learn.”
Xiao Zhonghua smiled faintly.
Jing Yi thought of something and asked, “The guard beside Marquis Zhenbei…” “Wei Ting,” Xiao Zhonghua said.
“It’s him?” Jing Yi frowned. “No wonder his body looks familiar. Strange, why is he with the Marquis of Zhenbei? If he wants to disguise himself, he should be with the Leng family.”
Xiao Zhonghua said, “The marriage between the Wei and Qin families has also eased the relationship with the Su family.”
Jing Yi said, “But he shouldn’t have completely disregarded about the Leng family. Wei Ting’s actions seem to be guarding against the Leng family.”
Xiao Zhonghua slowly picked up his teacup. “That’s right. Wei Ting’s approach is indeed a little strange.”
After returning to his tent, the Old Marquis asked, “Didn’t you tell Leng that you were here?”
“No,” Wei Ting said.
The Old Marquis paused. “The Leng family… Guo Huan’s words might not be true. Perhaps he deliberately provoked us. Perhaps he was wrong. ”
Wei Ting nodded. “I understand, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Even Guo Huan can betray me. I no longer dare to trust anyone who followed my grandfather back then. Countless of these people were aiming to frame him.”
The Old Marquis sighed. “Do you know why so many people are rushing to frame the Wei family, but they don’t have so much hatred for Qin Canglan? No matter how powerful Qin Canglan is, he doesn’t have a successor. Qin Jiang is like washing a pig, a waste of both water and soap. This is unlike your Wei family, where the men are brave and good at fighting. Any one of them can inherit the mantle of Lord Wu An It’s too terrifying.”
To be able to tell Wei Ting so much, he really did not treat Wei Ting as an outsider.
The Su family had many children, but Su Yuan was born with sensitivity and did not have deep attainments in martial arts. Among Su Yuan’s sons, Su MO was the most outstanding. The rest were not so conspicuous.
Not to mention those people who were jealous of the Wei family, even the Old Marquis had been jealous back then.
How did they give birth?
All of them were too capable.
However, when things reached an extreme, they would definitely reverse. When they reached an extreme, they would definitely decline. Such an outstanding family… was gone just like that. The heavens were jealous of geniuses.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Just be wary of the Leng family. There’s no harm in being more careful.” The Old Marquis changed the topic. “If the White Lotus Society doesn’t agree to the peace talks, I’m afraid it’s best for me to sneak into the forest.”
“They’ll agree,” Wei Ting said.
The Old Marquis frowned. “Why?”
Wei Ting’s lips curled up. “Because the White Lotus Society no longer has the capital to resist the Imperial Court.”
Their coffers had been emptied by someone. The recruitment plan had to be put on hold. Until they raised enough funds, they had to be patient and deal with the imperial court.
As expected, an hour later, the envoy of the White Lotus Society arrived and invited them to the forest for a chat.
The condition was that everyone had to be blindfolded.
General Leng said coldly, “How dare you! How can the princes and generals of my Great Zhou Imperial Court be humiliated by a mere ninth-grade sect?”
Zhang Feng said arrogantly, “Looks like this general is not sincere in negotiating. Forget it, let’s fight.. We’ll use the blood of the legitimate son of the Leng family as a sacrifice!”
