Chapter 197: The Confrontation of Top Smart People
No matter how much Ying Yuan valued the Wang family before, there was one thing that had always been a natural barrier between Ying Yuan and the Wang family.
That is, the Wang family is absolutely loyal to the Qin Dynasty and to the First Emperor.
But it was precisely this loyalty that made him stay away from the princes of the Qin Dynasty.
Obviously, Wang Jian, the pillar of the empire and sleepyhead in the court, had already made arrangements for the Wang family.
However, no matter how wise and powerful Wang Jian was, Ying Yuan was still able to accurately find the flaws of the Wang family among thousands of clues.
Wang Xi!
If you look at the appearance of this girl in front of me, she is naturally first-class.
But if that's all, then forget it.
The key point is that the last time Ying Yuan went to the Wang family to discuss the "transaction" of the Iron Pagoda with General Wang, he was surprised to find out.
General Wang really treats this girl, who is a generation apart from him, as the apple of his eye.
It is also because of this that Ying Yuan got involved with Wang Xi.
Even if it's just a little.
After that, when dealing with aristocratic families and nobles, it would be difficult for Wang Jian to maintain his previous indifference.
Wang Xi looked at Ying Yuan, who had a calm and determined expression in front of her. She frowned and got furious at first, but in the next moment, she smiled.
She was already extremely beautiful, and when this smile from the bottom of her heart came out, it was like the spring snow melting, and everything came back to life.
Even Ying Yuan, who thought he had enough resistance to beauty, was stunned by the look.
Wang Xi looked at Ying Yuan playfully and said with a smile.
"It seems that you really value my Wang family!"
"In that case, why don't you go one step further, sir?"
"Hmm? Further?"
Ying Yuan was completely confused when he saw Wang Xi’s sweet smile. How did they take the next step?
Is it possible to get this old man Wang Jian to join my army?
Even if Wang Jian was really old and his eyesight was blurry, he would not do such a thing.
But Wang Xi spoke with a confident look.
"Marry me!"
"If you marry me, won't that be a step forward?"
When Ying Yuan heard this, he immediately jumped to the side like a cat with its fur standing on end, instantly putting several steps away from Wang Xi.
"no!"
"Wang Xi, listen to what you just said?"
"Good fellow, last time I only gave you a jade pendant, but your old man wanted to kill me on the spot!"
"Now you seem relaxed, and you just say you want to marry me."
"Do you think I can't kill you, or that your old man can't lift a knife anymore?"
"I want to live a few more years!"
Ying Yuan knew in his heart that this would not be possible for the time being.
However, looking at it this way, this girl from the Wang family truly deserves her past reputation!
Moreover, Ying Yuan also understood.
With Wang Xi's stunning beauty and Wang family background, if it were other brothers, they would probably agree on the spot when they heard the words "marry me".
But Ying Yuan understood that this matter was not that simple.
The Wang family is different from ordinary aristocratic families.
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Wang Li...
One is Wang Xi's grandfather, a fierce man who destroyed four countries. He may seem like a sleepyhead in the court, but even though the tiger is old, it is still the king of beasts. He can eat people.
One is Wang Xi's father. He seems reckless but he is also a ruthless man who wants to destroy two countries. Although he is straightforward, he insists on his principles. Once he offends you, he will fight to the death.
One is Wang Xi's younger brother. He may not be as good as his grandfather or father, but he has a lot of talent. It is clear that he will be a talented man who is both civil and military in the future...
With these three people behind him, how could Ying Yuan dare to agree casually? He was afraid that if he agreed, even if his father, the First Emperor, came, he would not be able to stop Wang Jian from beating him up!
Therefore, Ying Yuan had to take a deep breath.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Xi, but I have not yet considered starting a family!"
Ying Yuan felt somewhat guilty about what he said.
After all, Wang Xi's figure and appearance are truly impeccable. If she were in later generations, she would definitely be a top-notch goddess.
But... again, now is not the time!
Besides, Ying Yuan is somewhat arrogant.
When it comes to marriage, it's not reasonable for a girl to take the initiative to speak up.
What about waiting until my conditions are right and then going to the palace with my great power to propose marriage in person?
As for those who coveted Wang Xi in the middle, haha, do they really think that the Jinyiwei are just there to do nothing?
Break a few legs and they'll know what they can't do.
Although Ying Yuan figured it out, Wang Xi's face turned cold.
She was such a smart person that she realized with just a little thought that it was not yet the right time to bring up this matter.
But...reason is reason.
It would be strange for a girl to only have rationality.
Therefore, Wang Xi looked at Ying Yuan beside him and suddenly opened her cherry lips and spoke.
"Sir, I have heard that everything in the world must be lost before it can be gained. What do you think about this?"
When Ying Yuan heard this, he knew that the girl was angry.
Logically speaking, Ying Yuan should say a few words to defuse the situation at this time.
But...we are all mortal beings born by our parents, so who doesn’t have a temper?
What's more, Ying Yuan has his father, the First Emperor, behind him, as well as a system to support him, and he has knowledge that is thousands of years ahead of this world.
How could he not be a little arrogant?
He didn't even look at Wang Xi, but looked ahead calmly and spoke softly but firmly.
"Since the day I became Regent, everything I have thought and done has been to help the whole Qin State gain something!"
"If there is to be lost, it will be lost by those who will become corrupt sooner or later!"
"That is why I see enemies all over the world wherever I look!"
"However, even if the whole world is my enemy, it will not prevent me from moving forward!"
"This young master wants to gain something!"
Wang Xi was a little skeptical after hearing these words.
It’s not about anything else, but is this Young Master Yuan really prepared to have “the whole world as his enemy”?
It's not just about ability, but also about the state of mind.
You know, when the whole world is your enemy, most people would not be able to withstand such a situation without the enemy even launching an attack.
If the Wang family places their bet on Gongzi Yuan, they will really go down the path of "making the whole world their enemy".
Wouldn't it be either "huge wealth" or "the whole family being wiped out"?
If this is true, then Wang Xi really needs to think about it carefully.
Ying Yuan not only did not think that Wang Xi's hesitation was wrong, but he agreed with it deeply.
People like him and Wang Xi have the same background and status.
The love between men and women has long been put last.
If two families or two clans were to make peace, what would be the benefit of the peace?
If we fight, how much will the battle cost?
These are all things that require careful consideration.
Wang Xi's words "marry me" just now were certainly motivated by a little girl's intentions, but more importantly, it was a way of testing the waters.
And Ying Yuan’s words “the whole world is our enemy” is also a clear answer.
To put it bluntly, Daqin, he Yingyuan is bound to develop.
Whoever stops him is his enemy!
