Chapter 21: Confess Everything
"You are the princess of Wei Kingdom, we can't make a decision on such a big matter privately, and we will reply to you after we report to the president when we go back, is this okay?" Xiao Jian was embarrassed.
"Well, okay, I don't want to embarrass you, just look at you like a normal person, we are quite compatible." Wei Ji paused and continued, "By the way, this is my token, take it to enter and exit Anyi City and the palace freely, I used to use it to sneak out of the palace, but now the second brother looks at me very closely, and doesn't let me go out of the deep palace for half a step, so I will simply leave it to you, and it will be more convenient to contact you when the time comes." ”
Xiao Jian took the token and picked it up and took a look, good guy, the heavy pure gold token was engraved with the words King Wei on it, and he didn't say much, and it was directly put into the cuffs.
As soon as Xiao Jian put the token in his pocket, he heard the sound of a sudden gong in the palace, and then someone shouted, "Go to the water, go to the water......" The gongs and shouts of "all through" were endless.
"You guys hide first, I'll go out and see what's going on......" Wei Ji didn't wait for the two of them to react, and one dodged and rushed out of the door.
After a while, he ran back with a dirty face, and there was a little burning ash on his head and face, and he looked so embarrassed.
"It's all your guys?" As soon as Wei Ji entered the door, he pulled out his dagger and asked Xiao Jian and Brother Mao.
"How is that possible? We only took the task of looking for the princess of Wei in the palace and asking for news of your eldest brother, but we never received the task of setting fire to this inner palace. Xiao Jian hurriedly explained.
"If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I let you both die on the spot!" Wei Ji said viciously.
"We really didn't lie to you, and there's no reason to lie to you." Xiao Jian explained.
"There are assassins...... There are assassins...... Protect the King of Wei ......" Someone outside the small building suddenly shouted, only to hear the sound of footsteps passing outside the building.
"And you didn't do it? Are you trying to murder me while I'm not looking? Wei Ji stared at Xiao Jian and Brother Mao viciously.
At this time, Brother Cat was so frightened that his face turned white, he didn't dare to say a word, his legs trembled, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Xiao Jian looked at Brother Mao's situation and sighed, "Alas! That's it, that's it......"
"What, are you going to confess your sins?" Wei Ji triumphantly pushed the dagger closer.
"No, you come with me......" Xiao Jian said helplessly.
"With you? Where to go? Don't play tricks on me here, say, do you want to die under my dagger, or do you want to die in the hands of my second brother? Tell you, you can take what you have in the hands of my second brother, so that you can't live and die, and you can't close your eyes until the blood is dry. Hehe, aren't you scared? Wei Ji looked at Xiao Jian vigilantly and said.
"No, then since you don't want to come with me, then you let him turn his head!" Xiao Jian's eyes glared at Brother Mao.
"If you don't want to die, turn your head away." Wei Ji pointed a dagger at Brother Cat and shouted.
Brother Cat obediently turned his head around, so frightened that his legs were bent, and he felt that he would collapse to the ground at any moment.
After Brother Mao turned around, Xiao Jian raised his right hand, revealing the Ring of Chaos.
"This ...... This is......? Wei Ji closed her mouth in surprise.
Xiao Jian was afraid that she would shout, so he hurriedly made a silent gesture.
"Why is this thing with you?" Wei Ji suddenly realized.
"It's a long story, can we come with me this time?" Xiao Jian asked instead.
"Well, well......" Wei Ji nodded obediently, but he didn't let down his guard at all, and the dagger still didn't leave Xiao Jian and Brother Mao.
Xiao Jian ignored her and went straight to the second floor. Wei Ji snorted and followed. Only Brother Cat was left alone on the first floor, and Brother Cat at this time was still facing the wall and didn't dare to look back.
When he arrived on the second floor, Xiao Jian found the round stool he was sitting on and sat down, waiting for Wei Ji to ask.
"Tell me, how did you get this ring?" Wei Ji still stood vigilantly next to Xiao Jian's choked throat with a dagger.
"It's a long story." Xiao Jian replied directly.
"What I have is time, and you, if you don't answer truthfully, be careful of your life."
"I know about your eldest brother Wei Tao." Xiao Jian said directly.
"I wasn't surprised at all!" After Wei Ji finished speaking, he looked at the ring on Xiao Jian's hand and said.
"Earlier, you said that your eldest brother escaped from the royal city overnight with your mother and sister-in-law, is that correct?"
"Well, well, you don't need to ask me about these things, don't delay time." Wei Ji said sternly.
"Your eldest brother Wei Tao should have gone to a village with a mountain at its back, and later lived incognito in this village until one day the local officials forced conscription to take him to the battlefield."
"This is impossible, don't try to lie to me, my eldest brother is no less than my second brother's general, how can he say that he will be taken away if he is taken away?" Wei Ji didn't believe Xiao Jian's words, the dagger in front of Xiao Jian was closer, and the tip of the knife had already pierced Xiao Jian's skin.
"Because he has a child who needs his protection!" Xiao Jian replied categorically.
"What?"
"His child's name is Wei Yan, a very smart and lovely child."
"Wei Yan? Do I have a little nephew? I'm an aunt......" Wei Ji's excitement was beyond words, but she suddenly calmed down again and asked Xiao Jian, "Where is he now?" ”
"In a very safe and secure place."
"Do you want to die? I'm asking you, and you're answering me honestly! Wei Ji said coldly.
"You have to believe me, I won't harm you, I was entrusted by his grandmother to take him all the way to this Anyi City."
"He's in Anyi too? Tell me where he is, and I'll arrange for my second brother to pick him up tomorrow. Wei Ji thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "You just said Wei Yan's grandmother?" My mother? Where is my queen mother now? Say it! ”
"Your queen mother has passed away, Xiao Yan and I buried her body by the stream next to that village, and the ring in my hand was given to me by your queen mother before she died, telling me to protect Xiao Yan in the future. And if you tell your second brother about Xiao Yan, it will hurt him. ”
"My mother died? You just found a place to bury you? And why didn't you let me tell my second brother about Xiao Yan? Do you know that my second brother is very good to me and my eldest brother, we grew up together and played together. How could it be possible to harm my little nephew? You, an outsider, what kind of thing do you dare to talk about my family affairs casually? Wei Ji asked, at this time, Wei Ji was angry, the hand holding the dagger kept trembling, and tears were already coming out of his eyes.
