Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-293

“Jin Qinwang?!”

“So the eyes aren’t considered blind.”

Li Hong Yuan’s expression and tone didn’t change, but he nevertheless carried a chilly and lofty air, and moreover, even arrogant and condescending, looking from high above. Even if in terms of numbers, probably only having half of the other party’s amount, he still didn’t have them taken serious. This wasn’t deliberately brought out, but further like being naturally born so. And he had this kind of capability.

Although very angering, there seemingly wasn’t anything good to say either. As long as one wasn’t stupid, one more or less should know what was going on.

What was originally thought to be a very smooth matter, looking at it now, was actually just a joke. The main party not only knew that they’d ‘invited’ them, he even openly came looking. That’s right, not waiting for them to go ‘greet’. They had reason to believe, if not for them discovering in advance the other party standing at their ‘doorway’, these people will have just directly intruded into the ‘inner residence’. This more or less made them break out in cold sweat. If this was bringing government soldiers to exterminate them, then they will have been thoroughly destroyed. They previously have always thought that they’d hidden themselves very well.

Just, this person was truly beyond expectations. However, it was also because of this that their lair should be safe, right? Alright, this probably was also just temporary. How it will be afterwards was very difficult to predict. After all, regarding Jin Qinwang’s temperament, the rumors were numerous, but from that body double, one should be able to project a little. As a body double, one naturally was learning to stand in for the original. That’s why, this original was certainly not inferior in any aspect. In reality, just from that one face-to-face meeting, this kind of feeling was already incomparably clear.

When they’d met that body double, they had a kind of ‘as expected of a dragon’s son and imperial descendant’ feeling. Even if manifesting a terrible reputation, it was still difficult to cover up that body of magnificent bearing. But after meeting the real deal, they suddenly just felt the former was just inferior goods. The discrepancy in comparison with the certified product was definitely not just one grade.

That’s why, that night on the fifth, ‘Jin Qinwang’ was making use of the special circumstances at the time, not giving Kaiming Fu’s Inspector General Su an opportunity to come in contact with him directly, and thus didn’t give rise to suspicion. If slightly a bit closer, directly meeting face-on, in front of someone like Inspector General Su, one all will inevitably be exposed. Li Hong Yuan as a person, even if understanding his everything, to want to completely imitate him was all impossible. At most it was nothing more than resembling in appearance and expression. As long as it was someone familiar with him, as well as that kind of ‘old fox’ that has slightly come in contact with him before, all can see through him in seconds.

(T/N: The fifth is referring to the night of the dragon boat festival.)

After confirming Li Hong Yuan identity, that muscular man in the lead already sent someone back to report. With the real one here, on that side, naturally no matter what was said, it was all no use.

However, the situation right now was slightly a bit thorny. Previously, it was still considered them grasping the upper hand, but now, this completely wasn’t the case anymore.

And inside the water fort, a scholarly old man was in the middle of warming up to ‘Jin Qinwang’, like as if old friends that have been acquainted for many years, saying some trivial matters. Even if the other party from beginning to end didn’t speak, even treating with a cold and indifferent attitude, his expression didn’t change at all.

However, a youngster hurriedly entered, whispering a few words by that old man’s ear. His face suddenly changed, turning towards ‘Jin Qinwang’, “Not Jin Qinwang?”

Since able to be picked to occasionally ‘cameo’ as one’s own master, then naturally won’t be a stupid one, and naturally figured out instantly what might have happened. Master most likely has come looking. ‘Jin Qinwang’ coldly sneered, “Who told you I was?”

A streak of emotion rapidly flashed across the old man’s gaze, and immediately after, just returned to tranquility. “Indeed.” They had never directly sought confirmation before, just boldly assuming that he was. Yet in the end, they can be considered to have been made of a fool of by someone? But that was also they themselves going forward, so who can they blame?

However, since the real deal came looking on his own, it wasn’t considered a complete failure either. Just, the previously maintained advantage had gotten completely overturned. In contrast, having ‘invited’ the other party’s people, they even needed to give the other party an explanation. After all, to be able to pull out a ‘body double’, this kind of thing, one just knew without thinking that perhaps there was some sort of plan in place. Right now, having unreasonably inserted a pole, they still don’t know what kind of consequences will come about.

If replaced with oneself, regardless of whether or not there were serious consequences, one would probably all feel annoyed inside.

“Since your master has come to visit, presumably you all should also go greet.” The old man stroked his beard once, “Go together?”

‘Jin Qinwang’ didn’t utter a single word, directly getting up, and just headed outwards. Of course, from the moment he entered this place, he had actually never once been troubled. At this time, he let out a secret signal. Their original crew quickly appeared one after another, and perhaps through the secret signal, already understood something. The people that originally appeared quite ordinary, each and every one all revealed an out of the ordinary loftiness, including the girl carrying Jing Wan’s face, as well as those servant girls, and a bunch of ‘odd jobs’, all like blades and swords, hiding a sharp edge.

Soon after, the old man that followed out was inwardly startled. These people, no matter how one looked, all weren’t ordinary bodyguards.

Yu Zhong Qing heard the movement and was the last to appear, “What’s going on?”

“Master has arrived.” ‘Jin Qinwang’ concisely explained.

Yu Zhong Qing lightly furrowed his brow, “How can wangye put himself in danger?” It was obvious, towards this kind of behavior, he didn’t really approve of.

‘Jin Qinwang’ turned back for a glance, “There’s someone claiming to be master’s maternal grandfather, calling himself Jiangnan’s number one illustrious clan, the Pei clan’s clan leader.”

Astonishment flashed through Yu Zhong Qing’s eyes, “The head of a clan, prior to confirming the situation, just rashly revealed one’s own identity, and even in this kind of place, very much worth suspecting.”

The old man’s complexion was a bit pale. This time, it was indeed his mistake, and moreover, nearly caused very serious consequences. In the end, it was still because the Pei clan’s current situation truly didn’t allow for one to be optimistic. He was a little too anxious. However, he also indeed didn’t expect that this good outer grandson of his would play this trick. The ones that got ‘fooled’ were far from just him alone.

However, thinking of these now was all very excessive. When the advantage didn’t exist, one should just think of a way to find the advantage again. However, this outer grandson seemingly was much more capable than rumored. This was a double-edged sword. By crippling his advantage, it also proved that he further possessed value. And what value? Naturally his use value.

The old man heading out, moreover even having this many people that appear to be considerably dangerous present, quite a few people all restlessly followed out.

Li Hong Yuan was never someone with a good temper. Right now, letting him wait for someone, this surrounding temperature seemingly was all rapidly dropping. That gaze, seemingly even if just looking at you, would all make you uncontrollably shiver. Even if someone that believed to have experienced through big waves and storms, this while, all couldn’t help but feel somewhat numb in the head, and the hands seeped with cold sweat.

“The clan leader is here.”

The people that were originally still sternly facing the other party instantly parted, just seeing another batch of small boats arrive. The small boat in the lead somewhat possessed the same presence as Li Hong Yuan’s boat.

Just, when the person standing on there saw Li Hong Yuan, he just directly blanked, completely unlike a power wielding head of a family.
