Chapter 5: Easy Change (Part 2)

"Setting aside the matter of divination, how could such a display be something a mere envoy possesses?" With this thought in mind, Wang Shoutian said respectfully, "Such a display can only belong to the great commander."

Upon glancing again at the accompanying young man, I had a premonition about the visitor—he must be the esteemed governor, the father of this body

With a slight movement, a sound of "Ah" came from outside, and the bench entered: "Young sir, you are awake"

Outside the door, several horses were swishing their tails nearby, while a few individuals dressed in black were waiting at the entrance

Wang Antian remained composed as he checked himself and noticed that he was bandaged all over. He found that he could move without much difficulty. Just as he was getting up, a soldier entered the room

A group of people walked along the road at a moderate pace, clearly mindful of Wang Shoutian's health.

It is already the second day during the Shen hour. The bench said restlessly: "Please wait a moment, we have already stewed the chicken, and it will be served shortly."

Stepped out

Wang Shoutian respectfully knelt and saluted: "Deputy Officer Wang Shoutian, pays respects to the Commander."

Wang Shoutian then dismounted from the carriage and, accompanied by several individuals, walked inside

Please wait a moment, my lord! The young man said to Wang Shoutian

Upon recalling Wang Shoutian's Silver Feather Sword Talisman, He Wulang felt a surge of joy in his heart

At this moment, one gazes intently.

A wrinkled face of a woman appeared before him; it was He Zhong's mother. Remembering how much care she had given him over the years, Wang Shoutian let out a sigh and finally made a decision

"When one cannot receive the General's praise, this victory is indeed a matter of luck, largely dependent on the General's great fortune." Wang Shoutian immediately responded, stating that this was a fact for him; if it were not for borrowing the fortune of the regional governor a second time, how could it have been achieved so easily

Little Official! Just as I stepped out, He Zhong was already waiting outside, his face somewhat haggard, clearly not feeling well, as he greeted me.

Wang Shoutian mounted the carriage, and as the carriage began to move, several individuals mounted their horses, surrounding the carriage to provide protection.

Do not worry! Wang Shoutian said with a smile, if this person were an assassin, then the one who sent him would surely be of the highest rank and power

With a few kind words, he managed to win the person's favor. He said gently, "Haha, well said, get up, let me have a good look at you"

This residence, although somewhat dilapidated, clearly appears to have once been the abode of a country gentleman with some standing. The surroundings are pleasant, and the space is quite ample, with traces of gardens still visible in certain areas

Wang Shoutian slowly sat up, realizing that he had survived a calamity

Your great victory this time, having beheaded the enemy's town commander Chen Xiang, is truly commendable. Please tell me the specific details of the situation. " Wang Zunzhiz coughed lightly and said, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Please sit down and speak.

This fact, however, made Wang Zunzhiyuan even more satisfied. Yet, his restraint left him somewhat disappointed. He wanted to say, "You are my son, not a subject; there is no need to be so cautious and courteous." However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he still held back.

The pale yellow destiny, however, can lead to a county-level position, with a very promising future. It would be a great pity to eliminate such a person now, especially when there are hardly any capable individuals at hand.

Truly a governor of great stature, this demeanor is indeed extraordinary

This disposal can be significant or minor; in the case of the former, even if five people are killed, no one would find it inappropriate

Behind them, at m.hetushu.com, there is a spacious carriage. The driver sitting at the front of the carriage is waiting there, while inside, a person is resting with their eyes closed

After walking for a few minutes, I arrived at the front of an ordinary courtyard

The person sitting at the desk is bowing their head, reading the documents on the table

They are all fierce, indifferent, and exude a strong and resolute demeanor

In that moment, I found myself quite fond of it; with a wave of my hand, all the guards in black on both sides withdrew completely

As the bamboo curtain was lifted, a figure could be faintly seen inside, seated behind a desk. Upon entering, it was evident that there were quite a few religious texts on the makeshift writing desk.

"In that case, let us go!" Wang Shoutian said, squinting his eyes. In his view, this person before him was hardly a messenger of any special envoy.

Almost simultaneously, Wang Zunzhih also scrutinized his son carefully. He saw that his son was around sixteen or seventeen years old, standing tall despite his father's intimidation, with eyes like polished ink, full of spirit and vitality

How to deal with He Zhong, Wang Shoutian is also contemplating

Haha, you did well, young man. When the army was in retreat and became isolated, instead of hastily falling back, you stabilized the morale of the troops, reached out to the mountain villagers, and launched a counterattack, successfully defeating the enemy general. This is commendable. However, from your account, it seems that you were too reckless during the night raid

"Lord Wang, are you going alone? Do you need me to wait for the attendants?" At this moment, He Wulang and the others also came out, and He Wulang glanced at the carriage, wanting to say something.

However, missing an opportunity to be close to the envoy of the governor-general is not difficult for him to bear

The young official and several other bodyguards hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back

After approximately half an hour of walking, we arrived at a small village

Although this is not truly a governor's residence in the strictest sense, Wang Shoutian can still distinctly feel the solemn atmosphere within this estate

I am Wang Shoutian, may I ask who the esteemed envoy sent by the special envoy is

The time has not yet come; further observation and cultivation are still needed

Looking around, one finds oneself in a room that is quite dilapidated yet impeccably clean. At this moment, the setting sun casts its light, and upon turning to look, the sunlight is brilliant.

The person behind the desk, upon hearing the sound, raised his head and looked over, slowly saying: "How do you know that I am the great commander? Have you perhaps seen me before?"

If it were not for this, he would not have come secretly

Upon seeing this, He Wulang had no choice but to swallow back the words he wanted to say, feeling a sense of regret in his heart

This person appeared to be around fifty years old, with a somewhat pale complexion. Although he occasionally coughed a few times, there was a gathering of red energy at the top, resembling red clouds. In fact, the upper part of the red clouds already had strands of yellow energy emerging, occupying one-fifth of the area.

The red destiny energy can serve as an official position between counties.

Upon entering the village, the atmosphere was even more heavily guarded, with crossbows and large dogs still visible

Wang Shoutian hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment, I will get up right away"

Looking at the guide ahead, the humble and compliant He Zhong, along with the astonishing light yellow aura above his head

This person has an extremely dense white aura above their head, coalescing into a mass that is already faintly tinged with red, and a yellow life force is surging forth. It is not only the potential of this person in the future that is remarkable, but even at present, they are far from ordinary

The tooth soldiers are unruly, the tooth generals are arrogant, and with great enemies outside, it will not be easy to let this young man secure the position of governor

After the great defeat, following the changes in the camp and the entry into the mountains, he persuaded He Tushu and He Wulang, leading to a night raid by three hundred mountain villagers, which resulted in the beheading of the enemy's town commander, Chen Xiang. Along the way, Wang Zunzh also inquired about the details, and when Wang Shoutian responded, he neither exaggerated nor belittled the events, but spoke the truth word for word.

"Your Excellency the Envoy, only Lord Wang has been summoned. Aside from one personal guard, no other personnel are permitted to accompany him!" Without waiting for Wang Shoutian's response, the young man directly stated this.

According to the theory of fate, one’s inherent qualities are limited to serving as a county-level official, with the highest rank attainable being the eighth grade

"Report!" As soon as the soldier shouted, he knelt down and said, "My lord, there are people outside claiming to be envoys sent by the governor-general."

"I dare not. I come on the orders of the special envoy of the governor of Fengjie to invite Lord Wang to meet with him. The carriage is already prepared, and the special envoy is waiting at the camp ten miles away. Please accompany us!" One of the individuals inside stepped out; he was a young man in his twenties, yet he appeared composed and elegant as he spoke.

At this moment, the village has been temporarily requisitioned. Looking around, black-clad soldiers are densely packed, and many armored warriors are patrolling with a resonant clatter.

After a while, the young man came out, greeting Wang Shoutian with a beaming smile as he walked inside

Gazing at this situation, He Wulang's eyes flickered, as if deep in thought

Wang Shoutian then got dressed, and after a moment of assistance from the bench, he stood up and walked towards the hall.

The governor truly places great importance on Wang Shoutian. It is said that the governor's son has passed away, and Wang Shoutian is the governor's nephew. Could it be that...?

Wang Shoutian nodded, knowing that the governor was right here

These few individuals are standing in silence, and upon seeing two people emerge, they all turned to look.

The governor himself is only of the fourth rank, which is more than sufficient for a librarian to serve as an envoy

Wang Shoutian was taken aback, as he had already anticipated this. Was this really a special envoy? Special envoys all possess this aura, unless they are envoys of the emperor

Wang Shoutian then stood up, knowing that this was the first time he and his father had truly met. The last time he received the order, it was merely given to him by his mother. Perhaps this man had seen him before, but for Wang Shoutian, it was definitely the first time meeting his father

Wang Shoutian glanced at him and said lightly, "Come along, will you?"

"Yes, my lord!" Wang Shoutian responded, performed a bow, and sat lightly for half a moment at a table, beginning to recount the past one by one

I do not know how long I have slept during this nap; when I woke up, I felt an extreme sense of comfort throughout my body, with waves of coolness at the places that had been burned, realizing that medicine had been applied.

The black-clad guards intercepted them repeatedly. It was only after this young man presented a token that they were allowed to pass. The carriage came to a stop in front of a residence, and the young man jumped down first: "Lord Wang, please!"

Wherever they went, the Black Guards patrolled, wielding long knives, their faces expressionless

Black Guard

Wang Shoutian, who had been keeping his head down and his gaze lowered, was astonished to find that the governor had actually left his seat and walked up to him.

The reprimand of the minor individuals can be justified, after all, the five did not exhibit any obvious acts of treason or rebellion.

Although his complexion was somewhat pale due to his injuries, he appeared calm and composed. When he had secretly glanced at himself before the expedition, there was still a hint of childishness, but it had diminished significantly, revealing a degree of resoluteness.

Upon entering the main hall, a palpable sense of intimidation immediately enveloped the space, instilling a deep sense of fear. Wang Shoutian, due to his proficiency in the art of observing energy, was particularly sensitive to such sensations, more so than others, and thus felt his heart race at once

What time is it now?" Wang Antian said casually
