Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Threats And Provocations
Leader Ge turned to look at Wan Hezhi and said, “Wangye, I will come to visit you another day.”

After Wan Hezhi waved his hand to let him leave, Leader Ge followed the servant and left through the secret passage. After Leader Ge left, Wan Hezhi sneered and said coldly, “Clean up. The smell is so disgusting.”

Sensing his displeasure, the maidservants and servants quickly lowered their heads and said, “Yes, Wangye.”

After receiving the order, the maidservants cleared the table and food while the servants swept the floor and opened the windows so the smell could dissipate faster. After everything was cleaned up, a high-rank maidservant carefully lit the incense and then closed the lid of the incense burner.

As the incense fragrance slowly spreads in the room, the smell of oily food and Leader Ge’s body odors also disappear. A few minutes later, Su Gangfeng’s voice comes from outside.

“Wangye, Yan Junwang has come to visit you.” He said, holding an umbrella and bowing to the closed door.

Xuan Ruiquan stood next to Su Gangfeng, with a servant standing behind him, holding an umbrella to protect him from the rain. He looked around and found that all the windows were open, but the doors were tightly closed.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought, ‘In such cold weather, Wan Hezhi actually opened all the windows?’

Thinking of this, Xuan Ruiquan looked at the ground and found some small white pebbles used for decoration scattered around, which looked out of place. There were also some white pebbles randomly thrown into the soil next to the ornamental flowers as if someone had kicked them out of curiosity.

Knowing Wan Hezhi’s character, Xuan Ruiquan was convinced that this careless behavior was not caused by people working in Li Junwang’s Mansion but by someone who didn’t know Wan Hezhi’s true character.

When Xuan Ruiquan carefully observed the surroundings, Wan Hezhi scoffed and rolled his eyes inside the room. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm tea. Thinking of Xuan Ruiquan standing under the heavy rain and shivering from the cold improved his mood, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

After he finished a cup of tea, Wan Hezhi raised his voice slightly and said, “Invite him in.”

Outside the building, despite the cold weather, Su Gangfeng’s back was soaked with cold sweat. He was aware of Wan Hezhi’s intention and knew that he deliberately made Xuan Ruiquan wait outside in the freezing rain.

Su Gangfeng bravely glanced at Xuan Ruiquan. Looking at his cold expression, Su Gangfeng swallowed in fear, lowered his eyes, and answered, “Yes, Wangye.”

After saying that, Su Gangfeng turned to look at Xuan Ruiquan and said, “Yan Junwang, please.”

With the servant holding umbrellas to protect him from heavy rain, Xuan Ruiquan walked up the stairs. Su Gangfeng placed his umbrella on the wet floor, then opened the door and stepped aside. When Xuan Ruiquan walked into the main building, Su Gangfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, ‘I have met him several times, but every time we meet, Yan Junwang’s aura becomes more and more terrifying. Indeed, people who can come back from the battlefield can no longer be regarded as ordinary people.’

Just when Su Gangfeng was still trembling in fear, Xuan Ruiquan walked into the outer room. His eyes flickered when he noticed a trace of oil on the surface of the round table in the center of the room. He looked at the round table for two more seconds, then turned to look at Wan Hezhi.

Seeing him leaning on the long couch, looking pale and thin, Xuan Ruiquan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Ben Wang heard from Su Gong Gong that a group of assassins broke into Li Junwang’s Mansion nine days ago and you have been bedridden since then.”

He paused for a few seconds and then added, “You do have a good group of guards. Otherwise, Ben Wang will attend your funeral instead of chatting with you today.”

After hearing what he said, Wan Hezhi gritted his teeth, put on a fake smile, and said, “Then I should thank Yan Junwang for coming to visit Ben Wang in person when you are very busy.”

After saying that, Wan Hezhi ignored Xuan Ruiquan and drank tea slowly.

Seeing that he didn’t talk about the flood, Xuan Ruiquan thought for a second and said, “Indeed. Even though Ben Wang has a busy schedule, Ben Wang still comes to visit you and even has to cross the flood.”

As soon as Xuan Ruiquan said these words, the fake smile on Wan Hezhi’s lips disappeared. He raised his eyes to look at Xuan Ruiquan and asked, “You said there was a flood?”

Xuan Ruiquan observed his expression and replied, “On the way here, Ben Wang saw countless villages had been flooded. As the ruler of Qian Shan County, Li Junwan actually didn’t know about this?”

He looked at Wan Hezhi’s gloomy face and added, “It seems that Ben Wang needs to report this matter to the Emperor. Li Junwang was ignorant and incompetent in governing the territory and should be replaced.”

As soon as these words came out, Wan Hezhi smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Crash!

The fragile teacup fell to the ground and shattered instantly, scaring the maidservants and eunuchs.

Xuan Ruiquan glanced at the broken teacup on the floor, then looked at Wan Hezhi and said, “Li Junwang, anger is not good for your health. As you age and become ill, you still need to learn how to control your emotions. Otherwise, the next time Ben Wang visits Li Junwang’s Mansion, Ben Wang will really be attending your funeral.”

Looking at Xuan Ruiquan’s taunting expression, Wan Hezhi gritted his teeth and said, “Yan Junwang, don’t go too far!”

Seeing that his purpose of threatening and provoking Wan Hezhi had been achieved, Xuan Ruiquan said, “Ben Wang still has something to do. Li Junwang, farewell.”
