Yang Rong Gui was taller than most, a talented person, and a renowned young master in his younger years. Now he was a little older, growing a moustache, appearing even more mature and steady. He was excellent in treating others, his way of speaking was not shallow either, it was far different from the despicable appearance in Xu Ling's imagination. 

　　But at this time, he had not even had the chance to meet with Yang Rong Gui - the people he met was a pair of false envoys.

　　Yang Rong Gui's heart was deep and unpredictable, his thoughts were seldom exposed. But the Governor of Yangzhou - Zheng Kun, who had always been serving him, was able to see through it. After sending off Yan Wang and his party, Yang Rong Gui stroked his moustache quietly. Although there was no joy on his face, Zheng Kun knew that he was in a good mood. He came forward and said a few flattering words, "It seems that Master Yang and Yan Wang get along very well?"

　　The hidden meaning was: it seemed that Yan Wang also knew the depth of the world of officials. He had no intention to pursue this to the end, only wanting to use this matter to gather power for himself.

　　Yang Rong Gui laughed and said, "His Royal Highness Yan Wang is a talented young man. If he were to be refined a little more, he will have great potential for the future. Deputy inspector Xu is a righteous man, a true pure official rarely seen.  But I was thinking the Marquis of Order was accompanying them. I didn't realize that the Marquis was so eager about military affairs, crossed the gate of Yangzhou Prefecture but did not enter, going directly to Jiangbei Camp, not being able to meet with Great Liang's God of War for at least once. It was quite regretful."

　　Zheng Kun had followed him for a long time. If discussing the matter of being smart flatterer, he was incomparable, immediately assumed he had understood Governor Yang's meaning: Yan Wang was young and inexperienced, although his ambition was not at all small, he had already shown his true intent in a few words — he was easy to deal with. That surname Xu was a wooden stick, reading books to the point of being delirious, there was no need to be concerned about him. And the best thing of all, he did not know whether it was ‘a martial officer not interfering with internal affairs to avoid suspicion’, or it was a deliberate move by Yan Wang, shooing the troublesome Marquis of Order far away, letting them carry things out with all their power.

　　Yang Rong Gui and Zheng Kun looked at each other and smiled. Yang Rong Gui said, "This time, a peasant's nonsense gossip has been spread to the capital, it is reasonable Yan Wang must investigate a bit. Go tell the servants to prepare well, we walk straight and stand upright, we do not fear any investigation."

　　Zheng Kun smiled with understanding and said, "Yes, Master rest assured."

　　Sending away the joyful Zheng Kun, only now did Yang Rong Gui retract the very faint hint of joy on his face. All that was left was calculating coldness.

　　He knew that Yan Wang would not be easy to send away, but he did not expect it to be this difficult. If it was not for Officer Lu's warning in advance, he would perhaps truly be tricked by him. That Yan Wang who had overturned clouds and rains in the court, what kind of incredible tactics did he possess? How could he be an ignorant young man?

　　The grand plan they calculated had been tight-knit in secrecy all these time, even Zheng Kun had no knowledge of it. If the storm was raging and swords were drawn as soon as Yan Wang arrived, they could react according to the situation, it would have been easy. But he was being this careful…the grand scheme of things would not be good.
