Dragon's Origin

Chapter 635: Subduing the Enemy Without a Fight (Part 2)

Wang Sheng didn't explain much to Song Yan, only telling her what to do and what preparations to make in advance, without telling her why.

Song Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but she didn't refuse. She believed that Wang Sheng wouldn't harm her in such matters.

However, Wang Sheng was ultimately kicked out by Song Yan. Because the previous few times, Wang Sheng had stayed until after dusk, and went back without eating. Who knows how Mei'er laughed at her in their correspondence? So, this time, in the middle of the afternoon, Wang Sheng was kicked out.

The old Taoist was drinking and eating alone, with plenty of wine and dishes prepared. Wang Sheng, on the other hand, had plowed several times in a row without any replenishment, and was laughed at by the old Taoist all the way.

Wang Sheng's treatment at Song Yan's mansion was always like this: he could enjoy Song Yan's body, but she didn't care about food or drink. Of course, maybe Song Yan was enjoying Wang Sheng as a "takeout" who主动送人上门?

"Aren't you afraid someone will have ideas?" Wang Sheng's words to Song Yan couldn't be hidden from the old Taoist who was directly downstairs. It wasn't that the old Taoist liked to eavesdrop, but that he had to keep an eye on Wang Sheng for the time being so that nothing would happen to him. On the way, after the old Taoist laughed for a while, he started talking to Wang Sheng about serious matters.

"Those vassal states won't sacrifice big things for small gains," Wang Sheng smiled, not worried at all. "They still want the benefits of the Thousand Desolation Lands, so they will never touch me at this time."

"Then aren't you afraid that some lone wolf hotheads will try to move you in every possible way?" The old Taoist asked Wang Sheng, seemingly casually but actually with a purpose.

"That's right!" Wang Sheng stopped, pondered for a moment, looked around, and felt that it was possible that some ignorant guys would be blinded by wealth and status and do something stupid.

The location where Wang Sheng and the old Taoist were at was a commercial gathering area by the Qinhuai River, bustling and lively, with all kinds of consumption places available. Just as they were talking, there were countless people watching them.

Wang Sheng and the old Taoist made a gesture, and casually walked into a three-story restaurant next to them. After entering, they didn't care about the waiter's greeting, and went straight to the second floor, to the seat by the window. Regardless of the surprised look of the guest at that table, Wang Sheng pulled out a chair and sat down as if he were at home.

"Sit! Sit!" The original owner of this table seemed to be frightened by Wang Sheng's actions, and stood up in panic, even knocking over his chair. Wang Sheng, however, really became the master, greeting him warmly.

The old Taoist didn't follow Wang Sheng to sit down, but stood not far away. A young man at the next table who looked like a cultivator hurriedly stood up respectfully and asked the old Taoist to sit down. The old Taoist didn't stand on ceremony, sat down normally, and then looked at Wang Sheng.

The diners in the entire restaurant were shocked by Wang Sheng's actions, and all their eyes were focused on Wang Sheng.

"Little brother, where are you from?" Wang Sheng looked at the young man who was sitting down, pretending to be calm, and asked him loudly with a smile: "Worry-Free City or Divine Might Prison? Or are you freelancing?"

"Reporting to you, sir, Worry-Free City." Seeing that Wang Sheng spoke casually, the young man calmed down and hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Have a drink with me." Wang Sheng knocked on the table. The waiter, who had been paying attention to this side, moved very quickly and ran over quickly, bringing a clean set of tableware and a wine glass.

The young man opposite him hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine pot that was already on the table, and filled Wang Sheng's glass. Seeing Wang Sheng raise his glass, he hurriedly held his glass with both hands, nervously clinked glasses with Wang Sheng, and then the two of them drank it all in one gulp face to face.

"Are you working alone, or are you working with a partner?" Wang Sheng put down his glass and asked the young man opposite him.

At this time, the young man was finally completely not nervous, and his speech was not as restrained as before. He honestly replied: "Alone."

"Heard the news, right?" Wang Sheng asked him, without even asking what news it was, but he believed that the young man opposite him definitely knew what he was talking about.

Sure enough, the young man opposite him nodded quickly in agreement.

"Are you tempted?" Wang Sheng smiled and continued to ask him.

"Yes! Yes!" This time, the young man didn't hide his thoughts and nodded to Wang Sheng very frankly: "It would be a lie to say I'm not tempted."

"That's right!" Wang Sheng sighed: "Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts! Roughly estimate how much that reward is worth in gold coins?"

"Ah?" The young man didn't expect Wang Sheng to ask such a question. He looked around, as if everyone was looking at him, which made him a little nervous, but he still braced himself and said: "I don't know, but it's always several hundred billion gold coins, right?"

The territory of four cities, plus thousands of experts, plus the population and materials in the four cities, plus all kinds of other miscellaneous resources, is simply a small vassal state. The overall value of several hundred billion is not an excessive price.

"That's right, there are always several hundred billion." Wang Sheng nodded, motioned for the other party to continue filling the wine, and then asked: "You say, if someone takes action and succeeds, not to mention the pursuit and revenge on the road, then standing completely in front of the young master of the Zhu family, that's the best result, right?"

Wang Sheng's voice was not particularly loud, but everyone upstairs and downstairs could hear it clearly. Everyone didn't know why Wang Sheng said this, but some people were already secretly nodding in their hearts. Isn't that right? Successfully killing the target, and then arriving in front of the rewarder unscathed, only to collect the reward, isn't that the best result?

The young man opposite him was also nodding, but obviously with a blank look on his face, not knowing what Wang Sheng meant.

"You say, you are standing alone in front of thousands of barbarian experts, asking them to listen to your command, to take over everything in the Shanyue Kingdom from Zhu Shaodong." Wang Sheng suddenly laughed and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Those thousands of experts are so obedient, obediently letting you achieve your goal?"

This time, the young man understood, and stood up again with a snap, his face ashen. Similarly, everyone else suddenly understood.

A person without roots or foundation goes to Zhu Shaodong and says he wants to collect the reward. Will Zhu Shaodong really offer such a large fortune of hundreds of billions with both hands? Everyone doesn't need to imagine how many thoughts Zhu Shaodong will have. As long as they put themselves in his shoes, if that person is themselves, would they hand over hundreds of billions so readily?

"I think that young master Zhu probably won't admit that someone has come to him to collect the reward, what do you think?" Wang Sheng asked with a smile. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked: "He didn't issue the task in Worry-Free City, and has already given the reward to Worry-Free City, right? That would be worth the risk."

The young man's face was pale, first nodding, then shaking his head. Others couldn't understand what he was expressing.
