"Hahaha, you think I want to rebel?"

Wang Chong finally couldn't help but laugh at Li Siye.

"Is that not so?" Li Siye sternly asked. There was no sense that he was joking on his serious countenance. When he was just starting out, he had known nothing about the capital. He hadn't even known who Wang Chong was.

He had just believed that some hoodlum in the capital, the young master of some noble clan, wanted to transfer him to their side to make him their servant and order him around.

But even if Li Siye was unfamiliar with the capital, his several months there was enough time for him to get a grasp of the critical facts.

The Wang Clan that Wang Chong had come from was one of the most powerful in the Great Tang!

The Hyderabad ore that Wang Chong had bought from Sindhu was priceless, and the Wootz Steel weapons the ore was forged into could cut through metal and were incredibly tough. In the capital, the cheapest Wootz Steel weapon cost seventy to eighty thousand taels of gold, a sum that Li Siye could never achieve.

But this was not the crucial point. What was truly important was the sharpness of those weapons!

When dealing with the Dragon Bandits, Li Siye got to experience the frightening aspects of a Wootz Steel weapon for the first time. That he had been able to take on the thousands of Dragon Bandits alone was in part because of his strength, but Li Siye was well aware that another important reason was the Wootz Steel weapon that Wang Chong had forged for him.

Not a single one of the Dragon Bandits had been able to last a single round against him. This magical Wootz Steel weapon had cut through man and horse like they were paper.

Even the boss of the Dragon Bandits, Black Dragon Zhao, had ultimately failed to block his slash!

And now, Wang Chong had obtained a thousand jun of Hyderabad ore. Such a massive quantity of ore was enough to equip a small-scale army of one thousand men.

Given the terrifying sharpness of the Wootz Steel weapons, no one understood more than him just what sort of effect this army would have on the battlefield.

And this wasn't even mentioning the Meteoric Metal that Wang Chong had managed to find somewhere, or those martial arts manuals.

Any one of these three items was not something any ordinary clan could get their hands on, but the Wang Clan had gotten all three.

In the capital, this sort of strength could move mountains!

If the Wang Clan had any thoughts of rebellion, this sort of hidden strength in the capital was enough to seize control of the capital and launch a coup d’état.

Li Siye truly did want to go to the Western Regions and make a name for himself, but he also couldn't just sit by as this strength grew more powerful right under his eyes.

Moreover, Wang Chong was already gathering troops. At the very least, this was what the Deflecting Blade Manor was to him.

Seeing Li Siye's serious expression, Wang Chong finally turned serious as well.

Li Siye was no scheming general. He had become famous for his incredible strength and bravery, as well as the charm that came from his sincere devotion to the empire!
