Chapter 1,781 Then cheat(2/2)
There were at least twenty or thirty large carriages in the convoy, and it would be impossible for them to run, otherwise something would easily happen.
In one of the carriages, Wang Li, who had changed into regular clothes, was sitting inside. Sitting opposite him was a man who looked similar to him, but was significantly older, about fifty years old.
No need to think about it, this person is naturally Wang Li's father, Wang Ben, the Tongwu Marquis with great military exploits in the empire.
Although he is older, it can be seen that he was a tall and burly man when he was young.
After Wang Li came to join the convoy, Ying Zheng did not directly punish him, but left him temporarily.
It is said that we have to wait until Mount Tai is enshrined in Zen before we deal with it.
Then Wang Li was naturally arranged to share a table with his father... and a car.
It's hard to say how Wang Li felt before meeting his father, but just thinking about it, he probably felt more awkward than when he met Ying Zheng.
But no matter how shameless he was, he would eventually have to face his biological father.
However, Wang Ben didn't have much reaction to his son's big eyes for the Wang family, and he didn't mean to criticize Wang Li in any way.
He just calmly led his son to play chess.
Go.
In this era, all military masters are Go players.
Both father and son Wang Ben and Wang Li are also proficient in playing chess.
But it’s true that father and son haven’t played chess for a long time.
Wang Li was not sure what his father was thinking, so he could only sit down and play chess with him.
In what seemed to others to be an extremely awkward silence, Wang Ben, Wang Li and his son started a chess game.
Because his mind was not on chess, and because he could not beat his father, Wang Li's chess situation deteriorated at a rapid speed, and his defeat was almost certain in a short time.
Looking at Wang Li who was already defeated, Wang Ben finally spoke:
"You just suffered the loss of not paying attention. Why don't you pay attention now?"
"Father..." Wang Ben's voice was very soft, but it was like a thunder in Wang Li's ears. He was so shocked that he subconsciously wanted to explain something, but he didn't know what to say.
Wang Ben raised his eyes and glanced at his son, and said in a calm tone, "You just lost a battle, not your own father died."
After all, he is a soldier. Although Wang Ben's voice is not loud, the content is "hot" enough.
"I..." Wang Li couldn't help but blush when he heard his father's words, but after saying one word, he stopped again.
Wang Ben looked at his son with calm eyes, "If you lose a battle, you lose a battle. I have lost a battle, your grandfather has also lost a battle, and even Bai Qi, the arrogant Lord of Wu'an, also had the Battle of Handan. Why, you lost."
No?"
"Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose. I don't expect you to do both, but you should at least do the same, right?"
"Father, it's my incompetence that has brought shame on the Wang family!" The more Wang Bi said, the redder Wang Li's face turned, and he finally blurted out this response.
Wang Ben's reaction to this was mediocre and he replied calmly, "The Wang family has no face. The whole world knows that your grandfather is a common man who begs for land and houses."
"It doesn't matter if you lose face. I just hope you don't lose your life."
"Father..." Wang Li muttered, not knowing how to respond to his father.
The main reason is that he doesn't understand what his father means by saying this.
Could it be a trap...
"You don't have to think too much." Wang Ben seemed to understand his son's thoughts and explained, "I'm just giving you a reminder. As for what you do and how you do it, that's your business. I won't interfere."
Wang Li looked serious and remained silent for a while before replying in a deep voice, "I just want to maintain the glory of the Wang family!"
"The glory of the Wang family..." Wang Ben repeated this sentence, with a smile of unknown meaning on his lips, and asked, "Isn't the glory of the Wang family enough?"
"Of course it's enough." Wang Li quickly replied.
He certainly couldn't say enough, otherwise he would be looking down on his own father and grandfather.
However, he also had his own persistence and added, "I just want to safeguard the glory of the Wang family and prevent other... other young people from stepping on the Wang family's head."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No one except the emperor steps on the head of the Wang family." Wang Ben replied calmly.
Wang Li stopped talking.
This is not the first time that father and son have discussed this topic.
Apparently, an agreement was never reached.
Wang Li did not dare to disobey his father and was unwilling to give up his persistence, so he could only remain silent.
Wang Ben seemed to know that his son would react this way and didn't say anything more.
Just like what he said just now, he does not interfere with Wang Li's actions.
Wang Ben just calmly put away the chess pieces on the chessboard.
After Wang Li was silent for a while, he finally spoke again and asked about himself:
"What does His Majesty the Emperor... plan to do with me?"
Wang Ben gathered up the chess pieces and replied calmly, "I don't know, but if you use your brain, you should be able to guess it."
If Ying Zheng had planned to punish Wang Li severely, he would not have deliberately put it after he was enshrined in Mount Tai.
After all, I have just sacrificed to God, and he will never punish the sinner severely.
So I still punished you with three drinks, which is fine.
For Wang Li, there are only two possibilities.
Or, continue to lead the armor-piercing troops who have fought in hundreds of battles, but it will take time to train troops to replenish the establishment, which is equivalent to two years of idleness.
For ordinary people, idleness is a big problem, but for Wang Li, it is not a big deal.
Or, just send him directly to the north to serve as Meng Tian's deputy and control part of the northern army.
This arrangement is more beneficial to Wang Li, but he may not be happy with it.
Judging from his uncertain expression now, he probably thought of this.
Seeing him like this, Wang Ben said again, "If you lose, you have to admit it."
Wang Li's face became even more ugly, but Wang Ben didn't say anything else.
Wang Li is also several decades old, and a few words can't change anything.
As a father, he reminded me of all the things he needed to remind, and he couldn't control the rest...
