Chapter 117 (2/2)
”Ling Tian?! General Ling Xiao’s silkpants son?”
”That’s right! He is the one.”
”Haha, that silkpants is infamous all across the world for being extremely mischievous and incorrigible. He is nothing to be feared. He probably has nothing more than a suave face and isn’t worth much. If I am really going to be calculative with him, that would be thinking too highly of him.” Wei ChengPing smiled, ”Please invite Mister Meng over.”
”Yes, crown prince your highness.” The guard responded.
Mister Meng, or Meng LiGe, was Wei ChengPing’s number one strategist. He was extremely shrewd, careful and full of ideas. He was Wei ChengPing’s capable a.s.sistant and most trusted aide!
A while later, Meng LiGe rushed over hastily. He was wearing a long scholarly robe with his black beard swaying gently in the wind. But, he was only a 40 plus year old middle aged scholar. He then cupped his fists in respect, ”I wonder what urgent matters the crown prince has?”
”Ah ah, Mister Meng need not be so polite. I indeed require Mister’s abilities for a matter today, to help me think of a plan for the Sky Bearing Empire.” Wei ChengPing knew that this scholar in front of him was extremely wise and was a top notch character in the world today. If he does not make his request in person, Mister Meng may not accede to his request. Thus, he did not dare to be the slightest bit rude.
Meng LiGe then sat down calmly as he looked towards Wei ChengPing with a smile, waving his feather fan calmly like a well refined poet. If Ling Tian saw his current appearance, he would definitely exclaim, ”Sir, are you the G.o.dly Mister Zhuge? If not, why would you have a feather fan?!” [1]
Wei ChengPing then smiled, ”I just received news that the little princess of the Yu family is touring the Sky Bearing Empire, having a close relations.h.i.+p with the silkpants Ling Tian. Mister Meng is extremely clear about how I feel towards the little princess, Yu BingYan. Thus, I have found Mister to discuss a plan.”
Meng LiGe laughed, ”I see,” he then frowned, ”when the crown prince made a marriage proposal the last time, you were rejected by the Yu family already, right? The little princess of the Yu family is not the only beauty in our Northern Wei. The crown prince has a status high above everyone else in the Northern Wei, who would you not be able to marry? Why do you have to be so stubborn about the little princess of the Yu family? After all, the little princess is…”
Meng LiGe looked towards Wei ChengPing with a smile which did not seem like a smile. He naturally knew the real reason for Wei ChengPing to pester Yu BingYan. It was just that he had to hint to Wei ChengPing subtly — since you want me to help you, it is best that you are honest with me. There are some things which others will be able to tell even if you do not say. If that’s the case, things would lose its meaning.
Wei ChengPing’s face turned slightly red, ”That’s right, Mister’s wisdom far outs.h.i.+nes others and is extremely knowledgeable. How can my thoughts be hidden from Mister’s sharp eyes?”
After pausing for a short while, Wei ChengPing sighed, ”The world today is about to be embroiled in chaos soon. As one of the seven empires on the Heavenly Star Continent, we will definitely be dragged into this wave of chaos. At that time, it will be unknown as to who will emerge the victor. From the way every power has their own strengths currently, no one will be able to proclaim themselves the victor for sure!”
Meng LiGe then straightened his back and asked, ”So, the crown prince wants to pull the Yu family over?”
