The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 518 - 466: Making a Move, Entering the Game

Chapter 518: Chapter 466: Making a Move, Entering the Game

Mr. Wei’s words undoubtedly had a significant impact on Wei Wushang.

In order to take, one must first give.

This principle was something Wei Wushang understood early on.

However, he had never thought of using this principle in such a way before.

"Grandfather, I understand!"

Witnessing his grandfather’s actions, Wei Wushang realized his own shortcomings.

By comparison, he truly was too immature!

...

When Wei Wushang explained Mr. Wei’s schemes to Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao was also dumbfounded.

She had never imagined that someone could be so cunning!

Of course, while shocked by the cunning of Mr. Wei and Emperor Xia, Yuan Bao was also worried about the future of the Wei Family.

The Wei Family could be said to be wholeheartedly devoted to Daxia.

But Emperor Xia could even use his own mother’s death as a maneuver, which made him even more terrifying.

If Emperor Xia were to undermine the Wei Family afterward, then the Wei Family would certainly be in big trouble.

Yuan Bao expressed her concerns directly to Wei Wushang, saying, "Uncle, can we really trust His Majesty when he can even exploit the Empress Dowager’s death?"

It’s not that Yuan Bao likes conspiracy theories, but Emperor Xia’s indifference forced her to raise such concerns.

"This..."

Wei Wushang did not know how to answer Yuan Bao’s question.

Can Emperor Xia be trusted? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This question was one Wei Wushang could not answer.

He felt that even if he were to ask this question to his grandfather, there might not be an answer.

Is Emperor Xia trustworthy?

History books say that emperors are often suspicious.

Those who sit on the throne are known to be suspicious.

They often say, "Use without suspicion, suspect and don’t use." But once suspicion arises in their hearts, they might punish without warning, sometimes fabricating charges based on mere suspicion, even if baseless.

"Uncle, is it difficult to answer?"

Yuan Bao asked with a puzzled look.

But truthfully, in Yuan Bao’s heart, she always believed Emperor Xia was untrustworthy.

An emperor, high above, being near him is as dangerous as being near a tiger.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that the Wei Family is too powerful.

In history, Lord Wu’an Bai Qi had no intention of rebellion, yet was removed by King Qin, simply because he had the capability to rebel.

And in this Daxia, the Wei Family has more than just the ability to rebel.

Should an emperor of Daxia falter even slightly, the heavens of Daxia could change.

The Wei Family acts as the Sword of Damocles hanging over Emperor Xia’s head.

No ruler can tolerate having a sword hanging above their head, ready to fall at any moment.

This sword is deadly!

"Jiaojiao, this question is challenging for Uncle to answer!"

"From my heart, I also feel His Majesty is not trustworthy."

"But for so many years, the Wei Family and the generations of Emperor Xia have managed in this manner."

"In some ways, Emperor Xia is trustworthy."

"After all, since the founding of Daxia, the relationship between the Wei Family and the imperial family has been like this."

East Wind and West Wind!

Either the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevails over the East Wind.

Born into the Wei Family, a burden Wei Wushang must bear as the successor of the Wei Family.

His mother is the Eldest Princess of Daxia, and the current Emperor Xia is his direct uncle.

He is trapped in the middle, very much struggling.

"Uncle, previously, the Wei Family and imperial family relied on each other because external threats were strong. But if His Majesty and Mr. Wei’s schemes succeed, Great Yin and Beili will inevitably lose vitality, potentially even being destroyed."

"At that time, Daxia will be unrivaled in the world."

"As the saying goes, ’when the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked!’"

"Anyway, I think we must be prepared with a backup plan!"

Yuan Bao firmly expressed her viewpoint.

Although the emperor is Wei Wushang’s uncle, the imperial family easily sacrifices even father-son bonds, let alone the so-called uncle-nephew relationship?

"Alright, I’ll listen to you!"

After some thought, Wei Wushang nodded.

Since we must have a backup plan, it must be kept secret from everyone.

Just like his grandfather, even deceiving those close to him to fool their enemies.

Currently, the relationship between Emperor Xia and the Wei Family is closely intertwined, crucial to the foundation of Daxia’s stability. Wei Wushang should not create conflicts at this time.

So, his prepared contingency must be even more secretive.

The Wei Family’s caravan slowly headed west, attracting batch after batch of bandits with its heavy rut marks and the medium commerce caravan following behind.

After each group of bandits was slaughtered, Mr. Wei would build a mound as a warning.
