The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Wang Xiangshu felt a chill run down his spine. Was this kid trying to set him up?

If he says something wrong today, will his head be gone tomorrow morning?

Upon realizing this, Wang Xiangshu immediately understood.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? No one is perfect. It's just a small mistake, nothing serious."

Wang Xiangshu smiled slightly. Although he didn't know what Yang Ling meant by doing this, he had to go along with Yang Ling's words at this moment.

If he had said the wrong thing, he might not have been able to leave this house today.

For the Imperial Advisor Wang Xiangshu, today's events were far too perilous; if even the slightest mistake had been made, he feared he would have lost his life.

"The Grand Preceptor is indeed a reasonable person."

Yang Ling smiled slightly, quite satisfied with the old man in front of her.

Seeing Yang Ling's smile, Wang Xiangshu felt relieved, but at the same time, he became curious again.

What exactly does the Ninth Prince want to do?

"Now that Your Highness understands His Majesty's meaning, no matter what happens, His Majesty will continue to trust Your Highness as always."

Wang Xiangshu smiled slightly and his gaze fell on Yang Ling.

"With the Grand Preceptor's words, I am relieved. But could the Grand Preceptor tell me the purpose of this trip to Yangzhou?"

A playful smile appeared on Yang Ling's lips as she looked at the old man in front of her.

Wang Xiangshu felt an immense pressure bearing down on his entire body.

"I've only come here to bring His Majesty to see Your Highness. If there are any problems, Your Highness can speak freely, and I will certainly help you solve them."

Wang Xiangshu smiled slightly. At this moment, he was extremely helpless. He had clearly been in the upper hand just now, but in just a moment, he had become a prisoner.

"Since the Imperial Advisor has put it that way, how about you do me a favor?"

Yang Ling smiled slightly, a bright smile appearing on her lips.

Wang Xiangshu felt a jolt in his heart. They really had come!

Does this little brat want to die?

Now that I'm already here, how can I possibly leave?

"Your Highness, please speak."

Wang Xiangshu smiled slightly; he had no choice but to smile at this moment! If he didn't, this little brat would have no idea how he would set a trap for him.

"I have heard that the imperial court has stationed 300,000 troops in Liangzhou. I would like to incorporate these 300,000 troops into the imperial army and equip them with some of the latest weapons that I have developed. I wonder if the Grand Preceptor could help me?"

Yang Ling smiled slightly. Since things have come to this point, you have to help whether you want to or not.

Wang Xiangshu was stunned. He never expected that the Ninth Prince would set his sights on the 300,000-strong army.

This number is no joke. If His Majesty finds out I've done something like this, I'm afraid I'll lose my life here!

"Your Highness, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, but the situation is urgent. Those 300,000 troops are the last trump card the court sent to protect Liangzhou."

Wang Xiangshu said with a look of fear, and Yang Ling waved his hand impatiently when he heard this.

If you're unwilling to help, just say so. Why make it sound so high-sounding?

The entire Liang Dynasty didn't have many troops to begin with, yet they stationed 300,000 troops right at his doorstep. Wasn't this clearly meant to be a warning?

"Since the Grand Preceptor has said so, then I will say nothing more. Now that you've finished this tea, does the Grand Preceptor have anything else to attend to?"

Yang Ling immediately ordered him to leave, and when Wang Xiangshu heard this, he felt like the sky was about to fall.

He was an absolute authority in the court, so how did he become someone that even the Ninth Prince disliked in Liangzhou?

But since things had already come to this point, he felt embarrassed to stay any longer.

"Your Highness is right. I just remembered that I still have some things to do, so I won't disturb Your Highness any longer."

Wang Xiangshu hurriedly stood up, his face filled with fear, as if he was afraid that Yang Ling would detain him here.

After the old man left, Yang Ling and Zhang Daoling burst into laughter.

"This old man really thinks he's someone important."

Yang Ling smiled slightly. Liangzhou was his territory, and no matter who came, it was impossible for them to take a piece of his flesh.

"Your Highness, this person is extremely cunning. We must be careful in the future, in case he does something that could be detrimental to Your Highness."

Zhang Daoling looked worried; this Prime Minister Wang was not as friendly as he appeared.

Today, as soon as he saw that things were not going well, he immediately put on a weak appearance. As the saying goes, a great man can bend and stretch, and this person is exceptionally capable of it.

Yang Ling nodded silently upon hearing this; this guy had indeed surprised him somewhat.

But once they arrived in Liangzhou, what could Wang Xiangshu do, no matter how capable he was?

"Ignore him for now. The important thing is to find a way to get those 300,000 troops. Once I have those 300,000 troops, I can sleep soundly."

Yang Ling calmly took a sip of tea, secretly hoping that the Imperial Advisor would stir up some trouble.

No one can take what he wants from him!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoling shook his head helplessly; the current situation was indeed not good.

But what's done is done, and there's nothing he can do to change it.

"Your Highness, rest assured, those 300,000 troops will not escape."

Zhang Daoling smiled slightly, he was absolutely confident about this matter.

Three days passed quickly.

As Yang Ling had predicted, the Grand Preceptor Wang Xiangshu left Liangzhou after a few days, but he left with a gloomy expression on his face.

As for what exactly happened during that time, no one knows.

But one thing is certain: Yang Ling is definitely involved in this matter.

After the imperial advisor left, Yang Ling immediately went to find Huang Chaowei.

"General, how are those 300,000 troops doing now?"

A playful smile played on Yang Ling's lips, as if she knew everything.

Feeling pressured by Yang Ling's gaze, Huang Chaowei realized that hearing those words had been his greatest fear these past few days.

"Your Highness, I am fully prepared and we can make our move tonight."

Huang Chaowei sighed helplessly. Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to go all out and hope that the Ninth Prince would give him some benefits.

"The general is indeed remarkable."
