The Bold Wang Junlang
After Jia Xu's reminder, Li Chengdao realized a crucial point.
The reason why Wang Junlang could pose a threat to him was because of the tens of thousands of soldiers in Youzhou.
If he killed Wang Junlang with lightning speed…
Wouldn't the tens of thousands of Youzhou soldiers have to listen to the orders of the Governor of Youzhou?
Li Yuan, the Governor of Youzhou, was Li Yuan's nephew. He had a good relationship with Li Jiancheng.
When he welcomed Li Chengdao yesterday, he did not hide his loyalty.
Now, everything was ready, except for killing Wang Junlang.
As for how to kill Wang Junlang and what reason to kill him, it was simply too simple.
With Li Chengdao's identity, he could just casually accuse him of disrespecting the ruler or rebelling.
……
General Manor.
Wang Junlang was still sleeping soundly with his beautiful concubine in his arms when he was suddenly woken up by the housekeeper's knocking on the door.
"Why are you knocking so early in the morning? Don't you know that I'm still sleeping?!"
Wang Junlang pulled open the door and scolded the butler at the door. His expression was very ugly.
Anyone who was woken up from their sweet dreams would probably be in a bad mood.
The butler shrunk his neck from Wang Junlang's scolding and said carefully,""General, His Royal Highness Taisun has come to visit…"
Wang Junlang's eyes widened as he grabbed the butler's collar and said,""You mean Li Chengdao came to my residence?!”
"Yes, General…"
"Then why didn't you call me earlier!"
Wang Junlang was furious. He threw the housekeeper on the ground and went back to his room to put on his clothes.
The poor butler was thrown by Wang Junlang, and his face was swollen. He was really pitiful.
……
In the main hall of General Manor.
Li Chengdao was slowly sipping tea while the maids in the guest hall were secretly sizing him up, their faces slightly red.
This legendary prince was really young and good-looking!
Just as Li Chengdao was sipping his tea, a series of messy footsteps could be heard. Wang Junlang hurried into the guest hall and said with a smile as he walked,
"Your Highness, please forgive me for not welcoming you. Please forgive me…"
Li Chengdao glanced at Wang Junlang, then at the bruised and swollen butler behind him. He smiled and said,"General Wang is really angry when he wakes up. Looks like I came at the wrong time?”
Wang Junlang's expression froze when he heard this. Although he was unhappy, he still forced a smile and said,"" What are you saying, Your Highness? Your Highness has a body of ten thousand chariots and a noble status. I will naturally welcome you whenever you come…"
"Then why didn't you treat me as a subject when you saw me?”
Li Chengdao looked coldly at Wang Junlang and said word by word.
The atmosphere in the guest hall immediately became stiff with Li Chengdao's words.
But what Li Chengdao said was right. The Grand Sun was the same as the Crown Prince, the heir to the throne of the country. Even the Prince had to bow when he saw him. Moreover, Wang Junlang was only a General of the Right Military Guard. Why should he stand there like a ramrod?
Wang Junlang hadn't expected Li Chengdao to use this as an excuse to make him bow, and anger instantly rose in his heart.
However, when he thought of Li Chengdao's identity, he could only suppress his anger and obediently bow. He said coldly,"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Get up."
Li Chengdao said lightly. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his demeanor calm and collected.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wang Junlang stood up, but he didn't sit down. Instead, he said,""Your Highness, why have you come to my residence today? Could it be because I didn't go to welcome His Highness yesterday?”
"Yesterday, I was unwell and ordered the servants to go. I think they should have conveyed my welcome.”
Li Chengdao didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Wang Junlang's tone and smiled,"I have already received General Wang's intentions, so why would I make things difficult for you?”
"I came here today for another matter. I want to ask the general.”
"Oh? Please speak, Your Highness."
Wang Junlang said with a fake smile.
"When I came to Youzhou City, I encountered a group of Turkic cavalry looting villages and slaughtering villagers. May I ask why the Turkic cavalry would appear in Youzhou? What are you border guards doing?”
Li Chengdao asked coldly.
Being questioned by a young boy like Li Chengdao, Wang Junlang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. The veins on his forehead bulged as he coldly said,
"The border defense line is too long, and the Youzhou garrison cannot leave the city easily. It is normal for the Turks to sneak into the city occasionally.”
"If Your Highness wants to use this matter to blame this general, this general is not afraid even if you report it to the Imperial Court!”
Wang Junlang really wanted to curse at Li Chengdao. You're just a brat who still smells of milk, what qualifications do you have to question me like this?
When I was marching and fighting, you still know which mother's womb you were in!
Wang Junlang had thought that Li Chengdao would use this as an excuse to continue making a fuss about this matter and return the favor.
Who knew that after he finished speaking, Li Chengdao looked as if he had come to a sudden realization. He nodded and said,"I see. I have wronged you, General.”
Wang Junlang was really stunned by Li Chengdao's sudden change. What was going on?
Before he could say anything, Li Chengdao raised his head and looked at him. He continued,"Then let's talk about something else. I was ordered to guard Youzhou. Please hand over the military power to me as soon as possible.”
"With this military power, I will have a big helping hand when I go to crusade against that traitor Li Shimin who killed his brother and forced his father. What do you think, General? Are you willing to serve me and fight against Li Shimin with me in the future?”
Everyone, including Wang Junlang, was stunned.
Wang Junlang was even more dumbfounded. He had thought of all the possibilities of Li Chengdao coming today, but he had never thought that he was here to recruit him!
Moreover, he bluntly stated his purpose, which was to crusade against Li Shi Min!
When the shock in one's heart reached a certain level, one's way of thinking and emotions would also be affected.
Wang Junlang even forgot to be angry and forced a smile."Your Highness, what do you mean? I don't quite understand…"
"I ask if you are willing to work for me and fight against the traitor Li Shi Min with me!”
Li Chengdao knocked on the table and repeated with a very serious expression.
Wang Junlang couldn't hold it in anymore and said angrily,""Li Chengdao! What kind of trick are you playing with me here! I don't have the time to play with you!"
Li Chengdao had played him in circles repeatedly. Even a clay Buddha would have some anger, let alone him, who had a bad temper.
"How dare you!" Li Chengdao slammed the table, feeling extremely happy. He had finally angered Wang Junlang.
However, his face was filled with anger as he shouted," Wang Junlang, how dare you look down on me? Are you trying to rebel like Li Shiming?!"”
