Dragon's Origin

The moment Steward Wang finished speaking, three pairs of angry eyes were fixed on his face, making him shiver.

Just now, the assassin had impersonated an elder of the Qiu family, which made the three women have a bad attitude towards the Qiu family elders.

Steward Wang dared to bring it up at this time, so it was no wonder the three women glared at him fiercely.

"What does this have to do with Old Wang?" Wang Sheng patted Mei'er's small hand, speaking up for Steward Wang: "Don't blame Old Wang!"

Steward Wang was almost crying.

In this Duke's Mansion, only Chang Sheng Duke had such magnanimity and would not vent his anger on him.

This guy had already sworn to be loyal to Wang Sheng, and now he was even more grateful.

The Qiu family elder was welcomed into the guest hall of the Duke's Mansion.

However, he found it strange that a pillar in the guest hall was completely broken, and there was a huge hole in the wall not far away.

If the remaining walls and pillars were not strong enough, the guest hall of the Duke's Mansion might have collapsed.

Dozens of experts and guards stood in the courtyard and around the guest hall, each staring closely at the Qiu family elder, as if he were an enemy who had broken in.

This made the Qiu family elder very nervous.

Even sitting in the guest hall, he couldn't help but secretly gather spiritual energy, ready to forcibly break out of the Duke's Mansion if anything changed.

"No need to be nervous!" Wang Sheng's voice appeared in his ear.

The Qiu family elder looked up and saw Wang Sheng walking in from behind.

This time, Wang Sheng could be sure that this Qiu family elder was the real deal.

While recognizing him, he couldn't help but feel a pity.

No matter who sent the assassin, if the second Qiu family elder was still fake, that would be the pinnacle of assassination plans.

Unfortunately, this one was real.

The Qiu family elder stood up to greet Wang Sheng.

Regardless of Wang Sheng's title or the fact that he was seeking Wang Sheng's help today, he should stand up.

"You just tried to assassinate me once!" Just after sitting down and taking a sip of tea, the Qiu family elder heard Wang Sheng's words and immediately jumped up like a startled rabbit.

"No need to be nervous!" Wang Sheng remained seated and waved at the Qiu family elder again, then motioned for him to sit down.

The Qiu family elder was practically only sitting on half his butt, ready to rush out at any moment.

Wang Sheng's words were too incomprehensible.

What did he mean?

Footsteps came from the guest hall, and the Qiu family elder couldn't help but be drawn to look over.

Then he saw several guards from the Duke's Mansion carrying a blood-covered person over.

The person being carried looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The Qiu family elder took a closer look, and suddenly cried out as if he had seen a ghost.

Wasn't that person's face his own?

"An hour before you came in, this person impersonated you and sat where you are sitting now, launching an attack on me." Wang Sheng pointed to the assassin being held by several guards, and asked the Qiu family elder with a smile: "The timing was just right.

If he had succeeded by luck and escaped the mansion, my guards chasing after him should have run right into your team.

Don't you think that's巧不巧?"

The Qiu family elder's scalp began to tingle.

What kind of person had created this plan to assassinate Wang Sheng, it was so vicious.

If the assassination had really succeeded as Wang Sheng said, then the blame for the Qiu family elder killing Wang Sheng would have been firmly placed on his head, and he wouldn't have been able to get rid of it.

"If the other party didn't improvise such a perfect scheme in an instant, then there must be a problem with someone around you." Wang Sheng let the Qiu family elder see the person's current face clearly, then waved his hand to have the assassin taken away, turning around to say to the Qiu family elder: "So, what can I do for you today?"

Having calmed down, the Qiu family elder now wished he could immediately investigate who around him had a problem, but compared to the purpose of coming to Wang Sheng, that was a minor matter, and it was important to take care of the main business first.

Wang Sheng and Mei'er had guessed that the Qiu family was here to form an alliance, and the fact was indeed so.

The Qiu family elder had come to form an alliance.

In the Thousand Absolute Grounds, the Qiu family suffered heavy losses, with hundreds of experts destroyed in an instant.

It could be said that their high-end combat power was directly reduced by half.

Compared to the losses in the Thousand Absolute Grounds, the massacre of Qiu family disciples in a city within the Qiu Kingdom was truly negligible.

Although they had retaliated against the Thousand Absolute Grounds base of Baoqing Yu Tang this time, it could be considered a victory, but Baoqing Yu Tang's losses were far less than those of the Qiu family.

Baoqing Yu Tang was a commercial firm.

Many of those who cultivated in the Baoqing Yu Tang base were casual cultivators who had paid money to Baoqing Yu Tang.

The real Baoqing Yu Tang people were actually just a few stewards and logistics clerks.

Strictly speaking, the Qiu family was actually indiscriminately killing innocent people in the Baoqing Yu Tang base, but the Qiu family had to make this gesture to discourage those who were still thinking of cooperating with Baoqing Yu Tang.

In the end, Baoqing Yu Tang was just a chain store.

If it lost its partners, what could it do?

The Qiu family elder expressed it very clearly.

Although they had retaliated against Baoqing Yu Tang with the help of the other seven great vassal states in the Thousand Absolute Grounds, the Qiu family had not actually gained much benefit.

Baoqing Yu Tang's base was divided up by the seven countries, and the Qiu Kingdom not only didn't get a share, but also had to pay extra expenses.

They lost manpower and money, a double blow.

Under such circumstances, even the Qiu Kingdom, one of the eight great vassal states, was somewhat unable to bear it and began to find ways to seek foreign aid.

The eight great vassal states loved and killed each other, helping each other and undermining each other, fighting openly and secretly.

The Qiu Kingdom's own strength had been greatly reduced, and if they were to cooperate with one or two of the great vassal states, it would be tantamount to inviting wolves into the house.

Perhaps when the Qiu family and Baoqing Yu Tang were fighting to the death, the two allies would stab them hard in the back and divide up everything in the Qiu Kingdom.

Counting on their fingers, it seemed that there were only a few forces in the world that could help the Qiu family without coveting their family's territory.

The royal family was impossible.

Even if the royal family was willing, the Qiu Kingdom could not cooperate with the royal family to enhance the royal family's strength.

The great vassal states were impossible.

Worry-Free City was possible, but Worry-Free City was not a good bird, the cost would definitely be high, and it might not really contribute.

Old Lord Temple had always stayed out of the way, ignoring worldly affairs, so it was definitely impossible to persuade them.

The people from the Exquisite Pavilion studied various ingenious skills, the Qiu family had no access, and could not win them over.

After counting and counting, it seemed that only Wang Sheng could cooperate.
