Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 759: Chapter 2 The Incomparable Young Master_3

The situation within the military system was indeed complex.

It was not until half a cup of tea later that she managed to report everything in general.

Gong Yang Ce had a rough idea of the current political situation after sorting out the situation.

During his absence, the political situation had changed significantly. Based on the current situation, their probability of winning was getting higher and higher.

With just a few more nudges, they would be able to secure their win steadily.

He was satisfied with this and a hint of mirth could be seen in his eyes.

Taking a sip of tea, he was suddenly reminded of something and asked Xiaoyue, “By the way, what’s the situation in Longzuo County?”

According to his estimation, Qian Xuehan and Wang Shouzhe should be able to withstand the joint forces of the Zuoqiu family and the Cao Family for ten to twenty years. But by now, the outcome should be clear.

“Master, please forgive me.”

Xiaoyue’s face suddenly changed.

She knelt down with a thud, nervously admitting, “The plan for Longzuo County has failed, and, and Cao Youqing, the immortal, has fallen.”

Gong Yang Ce’s hand, which was holding the tea cup, slightly paused, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

He looked at Xiaoyue, “What happened? Tell me.”

“This is what happened…”

Xiaoyue lowered her head and slowly recounted the events that occurred over three decades ago.

As Xiaoyue recounted the events, Gong Yang Ce’s speed of fiddling with his tea froth became slower and slower until he finally stopped, placing the tea cup back onto the tea table.

A few seconds after Xiaoyue finished, he took time to digest all the information before he asked, “Are you saying that all these plots, including the proposal to establish the Qingluo Guard, are all the work of Wang Shouzhe?”

“Yes.”

Gong Yang Ce tapped his fingers on the tea table, falling into deep thought.

After a good while, he sighed deeply, “It seems that I have underestimated Wang Shouzhe after all…”

Any technology, from the beginning of research to maturation and popularization, requires a fairly long process. Even with a special bloodline to accelerate this process, it still needs time to build a strong advantage.

During this process, the efforts and energy of countless people are invested.

That’s why most of the high-end technologies in the world today are held by prominent families.

Only prominent families have the financial resources, materials, and manpower to research and operate these technologies.

The Zuoqiu family’s grain, the Gongye clan’s artifact refining heritage, the animal husbandry in the Southern Desert, and all the technologies owned by Lingyun Sacred Land are all examples, without exception.

Wang Shouzhe could propose to develop the Qingluo Sea, and shortly after the Qingluo Guard was established, he could build large-scale marine farming bases in a very short time and quickly open the market with the Air Cold Chain System, supplying in large quantities. This could only indicate that the Wang family already had mature technology.

Moreover, Wang Shouzhe must have great confidence in marine farming and the market for sales coordinated with the Air Cold Chain System.

In other words, he must have long planned for Qingluo Guard and marine farming.

The defeat of the Cao Family, besides their problem, another significant reason is that they clashed with the Wang Family’s strategy.

Gong Yang Ce couldn’t be entirely sure when Wang Shouzhe began planning. Perhaps it was after the Air Cold Chain System was successfully implemented, or maybe even earlier…

Wang Shouzhe, with his deep thoughts and far-reaching strategy, is truly extraordinary.

“Master, I’m worried about making another mistake regarding the Wang family, so I didn’t dare to make decisions arbitrarily. Wang Shouzhe should not have found out about our involvement in this matter.” Xiaoyue looked at Gong Yang Ce’s expression and carefully said, “Master, I…”

“Not making decisions arbitrarily is correct.” Gong Yang Ce waved his hand, “Get up~ This is not your fault. Wang Shouzhe’s cunning and strategy is not something you can handle. The more you do, the more mistakes you make.”

With his cultivation base and perspective, he had seen through many things.

In this world, what people and actions fear is not stupidity, but being oblivious of one’s stupidity.

In the end, Cao Youqing repeatedly lost to Wang Shouzhe and even lost her life because she was too “good” at making decisions arbitrarily while lacking the cunning and strategy.

What a pity~

“Thank you, master.”

Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up.

Seeing that the tea had cooled slightly, she refilled his cup and respectfully handed it over, “Master, considering how capable Wang Shouzhe is, do you want to…”

“No need.” Gong Yang Ce waved his hand, “No matter how deep his cunning and strategy are, the Wang Family is after all just an average prominent family. They are nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the tide.”

Although Longzuo County had not been successfully captured due to Wang Shouzhe’s interference, Liaoyuan County and Lingbei County have been secretly under their control. The overall situation has been set, and no matter how capable Wang Shouzhe is, he cannot change it.

What he needs to do now is to do his best to help “him” win the battle for the Emperor’s throne.

Once the dust settles on “the battle for the Emperor’s throne,” no matter how clever Wang Shouzhe is, he would still be a subject under the new Emperor and have to obey his orders.

However, Cao Youqing, after all, was one of his people; she didn’t deserve to die in vain.

This debt, he must collect.

He had to let Wang Shouzhe know that his men were not to be messed with.

Gong Yang Cepicked up the tea cup and took a light sip. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, “So the fifty-year agreement between Long Wuji and the Wang family is about to expire, isn’t it?”

“Master, there are still about two years left.” Xiaoyue whispered, “Could it be that the master wants to…”

“Arrange a meeting with Long Wuji for me.” Gong Yang Ce drained his spiritual tea in one gulp, “It’s time for him, the ‘Royal Uncle,’ to lend a hand in the Emperor’s affair.”

“Yes, master.”

Xiaoyue couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Wang Shouzhe. He was unfortunate enough to incite the master to take action personally.
