Chapter 140

Wei Wangshu looked at Pang Jun, who was choked by tea and looked dumbfounded. He smiled softly and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy, Marquis Changning? Or is it that I am unbearable to look at?"

　　Pang Jun looked at the charming Wei Wangshu and asked, "Although Liu Jun is young, he has always believed in one principle: there is no such thing as a free lunch, no hatred without reason, and no love without reason. How can Liu Jun be so worthy of the favor of Miss Wei, who is like a daughter of heaven?"

　　"Well, what you said makes sense," Wei Wangshu said, pursing her red lips with her jade fingers. "As I recall, you are seventeen years old this year. Logically, you should get married. I am already twenty-five this year, and I am looking for a suitable husband. After much selection, you are the only one."

　　"Miss Wei, you're joking. The world is so big, and although there are only a few men worthy of you, the capital is where the world's elites gather. How could there not be a good match for you?" Pang Jun was also very surprised. Logically speaking, with a peerless beauty like Wei Wangshu and her family background, the people who wanted to propose marriage to her would probably fill the entire northern city of Tianjing. However, she still lives alone, which is really incomprehensible.

　　"Is it strange? Eight years ago, on the wedding night, my husband was murdered on the way to pick him up. Your Majesty dispatched three teams of 'Shenyi Guards' and the Royal Guards, led by Lord Qin Wanjun himself, to search for him. After three months, they found nothing. Since then, I, a young widow who has not yet married, have been staying at home, watching the ups and downs of life. Until now, most people in the capital have forgotten about me, and I myself have never thought that there is any man who can make me give everything, until you appeared." Wei Wangshu said, looking at Pang Jun with burning eyes.

　　Pang Jun shook his head and said, "But Liu Jun still doesn't understand why my appearance makes you feel...strange?"

　　"You are smart. I believe I can solve the problems of the Japanese people at the Qianqiu Banquet as easily as you. However, there are less than ten people in the world who can easily solve these three problems. I like to get along with smart people. What's more, you have a wild heart..."

　　"Ambition. In fact, over the past year or so, there should be quite a few people in the court who feel that Liu Jun has risen so quickly and his ambition is obvious. But I think, if he has no ambition, why would he enter the official career? If he has no ambition to climb up, how can he enrich the country and protect the people? As for ambition, which one of the elites in Tianjing City doesn't have it? Miss Wei, this is not a reason." Pang Jun retorted.

　　"I'm not saying that you have any ambition to enrich the country and strengthen the military, but you have the ambition to rule the world..." At this moment, Wei Wangshu narrowed her beautiful eyes, like a thousand-year-old fox.

　　Pang Jun frowned and said sternly, "Miss Wei, please be careful with your words. If you say something treasonous..."

　　"There are only you and me here. God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know. What's wrong with speaking freely? What's more, others can't see through you. Promoting trade and building a strong army seem to be for defending the land and ensuring the people's safety, but in fact... What's more, from what I know and have inferred, Marquis Changning should have a considerable force behind him helping him. Plus, Marquis Changning's master is still a mystery. It is very likely that this force is a force hidden in the world. Does what I said make sense?" Wei Wangshu kept smiling at Pang Jun and said.

　　If someone saw Pang Jun's palms now, they would have seen that he had clenched his fists and his palms were sweating. Even in the martial arts world, few people knew the name of the "Exiled Immortal Sect", let alone in the court. But the beautiful lady in red in front of him deduced from just a few words that the sect behind Pang Jun should be a hidden force in the martial arts world. Is she really just the eldest daughter of a duke?

　　Seeing that Pang Jun didn't say anything, Wei Wangshu continued, "Since I became interested in you, I have started to collect every bit of information about you and found that you are becoming more and more interesting. Although what you do is scattered here and there, when you put all the information together, I can roughly infer what you want to do. It's nothing more than accumulating reputation, money and food, and strengthening your army. Most importantly, as far as I know, the second young master of the Dugu family is not a scholar who keeps to himself. The fact that you can make friends with him and entrust some of your affairs to him proves that you have great ambitions and it is not impossible that you care about the world."

　　"All this is just the girl's wild guesses. There is no real evidence. Are you slandering the court officials?" Pang Jun said.

　　Wei Wangshu smiled faintly, her beauty captivating the whole country. She said, "Of course, but even if there is one, what does it matter? Am I going to lose my ideal husband? Without Liu Jun, I don't know how many years I have to wait before I can find the next Liu Jun. I just said that you have the ambition to conquer the world, and don't I also have the ambition to be the mother of the world?"

　　"The girl can enter the palace, or else, the Crown Prince, the King of Zhao, or the King of Qi. I believe that with the girl's beauty and talent, one day she will definitely be the mother of the country, right? Why do you have to make fun of Liu Jun?"

　　The beauty shook her head and said, "It's different. The emperor is suspicious. He even chose the declining Tang family for the queen's family. If I enter the palace, I will be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the Nan family's aunt and nephew. Although it is undoubtedly a pipe dream for them to harm me, I don't want to spend a lot of time and become a pawn of the emperor to balance the power of the concubines and relatives in the harem. As for the princes, they are not wise choices. The crown prince is good at power, but too sinister. Although the King of Zhao has some talent, he is narrow-minded. As for the King of Qi, he is fierce on the outside but weak on the inside, with great ambitions but little talent. As for the rest, it's better not to talk about them."

　　"The situation in Dajin is relatively stable now. Although there is a rebellion in Xichuan and invasion by Japanese people in Liaodong, I don't think there is any possibility of rebellion. I'm afraid the girl's wishful thinking is wrong." Pang Jun said.

　　Wei Wangshu looked at Pang Jun with a burning gaze and asked, "Does Marquis Changning really think so? It is true that Qi Tiansheng and the Japanese are just a minor issue, but you are a smart man and have traveled all over the country. You should have seen that the Great Jin is already in trouble both internally and externally. Externally, the four major countries are eyeing it covetously. Internally, there is the rebellion of Qi Tiansheng, and the sequelae of the emperor's suppression of the rebellion: the indulgence of local wealthy families in annexing land, the decline of royal personnel, and the open and secret struggles of the princes now. Do you think the Japanese can quietly block the retreat of Marquis Zhang Fu?"

　　"Miss, are you saying that there are people in the court who are colluding with foreign enemies in order to consume the military strength of the Jin Dynasty and weaken your majesty's power? I accidentally uncovered the conspiracy of certain people?" Pang Jun asked in surprise.

　　Wei Wangshu nodded and said, "Of course. You may have become a thorn in the eyes of some people in the court. The Great Jin seems to be relatively stable now, only because the emperor is still here. After all, he is a capable monarch who has quelled the rebellions of the kings and has great prestige. But if something unexpected happens, what do you think will happen to the remaining princes?"

　　"Your Majesty is still in the prime of life. It's too early for the girl to say that about your Majesty," Pang Jun retorted.

　　"Marquis Changning is far away from the court, so there are some things you may not know. The current emperor only favors the little Nan Fei, the niece of Concubine Nan. She lives in Jingfu Pavilion more than half of the time every month, day and night. Recently, she has begun to show signs of discomfort, which is obviously caused by too much sexual intercourse. And that little Nan Fei is probably not an easy person to deal with either." The beautiful lady said after taking a sip of tea.

　　After hearing this, Pang Jun thought: Could it be that the young lady knows the art of collecting and replenishing in the martial arts world? But if she really knows the art of collecting and replenishing, then the old eunuch beside the emperor must be able to see it, but why doesn't he stop it?

　　Seeing Pang Jun frowning in confusion, Wei Wangshu said, "Let's not talk about these things. However, even if I don't say it, with your ability, you must know that the Great Jin is now undercurrent, but you must be very wary of me and have been hiding it. I have already confessed to the Marquis, so won't the Marquis make any statement?"

　　"Miss Wei, what exactly do you want?" Pang Jun asked seriously.

　　Seeing Pang Jun's serious look, Wei Wangshu couldn't help laughing again: "Hehehe, didn't I say it just now? I just want a man who I think is worthy of love and assistance, a monarch who can command the world, nothing else, I don't ask for anything else. How about it, do you need me to swear a poisonous oath? Or, do you want me to do something for you before you will believe it?" Her eyes moved, extremely charming.

　　Looking at Wei Wangshu's plump and attractive red lips, Pang Jun wanted to ask her to serve him orally, but when he thought about how smart, proud, and beautiful she was, he suddenly felt inferior.

　　There were many ambitious women around Pang Jun, including his master Gong Qinxue and Wang Fangmei from Jiangnan. However, none of them could make Pang Jun feel nervous like Wei Wangshu, and he also had a desire to be recognized by her. Finally, Pang Jun mustered up the courage and asked, "Can you do anything?"

　　"Well, except for my virginity, because I want to keep it until the wedding night, the rest is up to you. Don't worry, before I got married last time, the old nanny at home taught me many ways to enjoy the pleasure of the boudoir." Wei Wangshu said to Pang Jun with a mischievous look.

　　"Okay, then, I want to kiss your hands, feet, and lips." Pang Jun said without hesitation.

　　Wei Wangshu was a little surprised. She had just said that except for her virginity, everything else was fine. Pang Jun could do some deep sexual intercourse with her. But she really didn't expect that Pang Jun just wanted to kiss her.

　　Seeing Wei Wangshu's stunned expression, Pang Jun felt like he had finally won her over. He said, "In my heart, you are like a fairy. I am willing to give my fairy the best first night on our wedding night."

　　After hearing what Pang Jun said, Wei Wangshu no longer covered her mouth and laughed: "Hahaha, okay, I thought that the outside world said that Changning Hou Liu Jun, who was experienced in the world of romance, was actually a novice. Come on." After saying that, she sat up, stretched out her white and slender legs, and put her flawless jade feet in front of Pang Jun.

　　Wei Wangshu's jade feet were so small and delicate that they could be held in one hand. Her five toes were as crystal clear as jade, making people salivate and want to take a bite of them. Pang Jun carefully held up her jade feet and put them in his mouth and kissed them lightly, his eyes full of obsession and intoxication.

　　"We're done with the kiss, and there's still hands." Wei Wangshu put away her jade feet, looked at Pang Jun's reluctant look with satisfaction, and stretched out a soft hand.

　　Similarly, Pang Jun, like a pilgrim, held up Wei Wangshu's delicate hand and kissed it gently.

　　After kissing her hands and feet, Wei Wangshu naturally closed her beautiful eyes. Her pink face looked even more beautiful under the dim light, exuding an amazing charm. Pang Jun leaned over, put his head close to Wei Wangshu, opened his lips slightly, and covered her tempting cherry mouth. His agile tongue stirred up trouble in her tempting mouth. At first, the beauty struggled a little, but soon she collapsed and lay lazily and weakly in Pang Jun's arms, her beautiful eyes half open and half closed.

　　"Yingning, okay, we've done it. You should trust me now, right?" It was the first time that Wei Wangshu had kissed a man so intimately, and she felt like a young girl in love.

　　Pang Jun didn't say anything, but continued to look at the beauty in his arms infatuatedly. Unable to hold back, he kissed her deeply again...
