The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 514

He also knows that by implicating Lord Wei this time, he would have completely offended the Wei family and empress…one of his feet had already stepped into this situation.

Gu Jing took Lord Chengen’s entanglement seriously and no longer urged him. The corner of his mouth was curved into a mocking smile that the other party could not see.

Most people in this world were just outsiders, not only courtiers who once claimed to be loyal to him but also his grandfather.

He was well aware that his grandfather wanted to compete for credit from the dragon, but he always hesitated and refused to do his best to help him. Since his grandfather still hesitated, he would push his grandfather again.

As the old saying goes, once he gives it a go, it will eventually decline and eventually run out.

If he wants to succeed, he must continue to move forward!

Gu Jing looked up and drank the wine from the cup in one gulp.

After a while, Lord Chengen finally picked up the blue ledger from the box and slowly flipped through it page by page.

He reads very slowly and carefully as if he wants to memorize every word in his mind.

This account book focused on firearms.

The court set up a firearms manufacturing factory in Jiankang City in Jiangnan, specializing in the production of a variety of firearms, such as rockets, thistle fireballs, thunderbolt fireballs, spikes, poison smoke balls, and so on.

The account book records how many firearms Wei Xiushi secretly transferred from the firearms manufacturing factory to Wang Yu in the past few years under the pretext of “wear and tear.” Each note was clear and reasonable.

This account book was beautifully made, and Lord Chengen could not make any mistakes at all.

Even if he knew it was fake, he still felt that the account book looked like a real thing. He could imagine how Wang Yu had put a lot of thought into it.

With this account book…

Lord Chengen narrowed his eyes as the color of his eyes grew deeper, his heartbeat quickened, and even the blood in his veins boiled slightly.

Gu Jing could tell that Lord Chengen was moved, and the corner of his lips curled up. While adding drinks to Lord Chengen and himself, he continued. “Grandfather, this is the ‘sincerity’ given to us by Wang Yu.”

Gu Jing’s eyes were even brighter as if two flames were burning.

He believed in Wang Yu’s sincerity, as long as Wang Yu could help him win the crown prince’s throne, he would naturally repay Wang Yu and both of them would get what they deserve.

As for the future ……

“Grandfather,” Gu Jing looked at Lord Chengen with burning eyes and added, “I know that Grandfather is worried that once Wang Yu succeeds in raising an army, I’ll be working for nothing.”

“But don’t forget, Imperial Father is the rightful monarch of Daqi, if Wang Yu doesn’t want to be infamy for thousands of years, he must support someone to succeed him for the sake of his reputation.”

“Since Wang Yu let Dowager Concubine Fang’s double die in Tai’an Palace, his Northern Expedition will be under the guise of ‘clearing the ruler’s side’, in which case, he won’t ascend to the throne himself.”

Once Wang Yu ascends to power himself, it would be a rebellion; it would not be helping the ruler’s side anymore.
