Chapter 182: The Farmer and the Snake
The world is big, there are thousands of people in the world, not everyone is as clear as you see, people's hearts are unpredictable, don't easily say that you know a person, and don't easily think that you can see through a person.
The kind-hearted farmer inadvertently moved his heart of compassion and saved a snake that was on the verge of death, but he thought of the beginning, but did not expect the end, and was finally bitten to death by the rescued poisonous snake, which was an ending that was already doomed from the beginning. A farmer will always be a farmer, a viper will always be a viper, that's something engraved in their bones.
In the vast rivers and lakes, the enemy is like a poisonous snake, never fantasize about being a kind farmer, otherwise you will be bitten to death by a relieved poisonous snake sooner or later, never underestimate your enemy too much.
Long Xinyue walked in front of the two guests who had just come in, stretched out her hand to block the way, and said slowly: "I'm sorry for the two of you, this place has only been entertaining regular guests recently, please go back." Although these two were well hidden, Long Xinyue still discovered that they were different from ordinary people.
"We're looking for people. One of them raised his head, seemed to look Long Xinyue up and down, and said in a deep voice.
Long Xinyue listened to the other party's words, squinted her eyes, and asked slowly, "Who are you looking for?"
As soon as Long Xinyue's words fell, the other person reached into his arms, took out a small iron utensil, and showed it to Long Xinyue, which was a swallow-shaped dart.
Seeing this swallow dart, Long Xinyue nodded, stepped aside, and whispered, "Please come with me, two of you." He made a gesture of please, and then took the lead and walked to the second floor. He knew about this swallow dart, and he had heard Wuxin mention it, and it was at that time that he and Wuxin were really called friends.
Two men wearing hats followed behind Long Crescent Moon and walked towards the second floor. Soon, they came to the door of the room where Wuxin was.
Long Xinyue knocked lightly on the door of the two rooms, then pushed the door open to let the two in, and then gently closed it from the outside. Then he turned around and began to wander around the doorway, looking around carefully, consciously or unconsciously, as if he had no intention of leaving.
When Wuxin saw two people wearing hats pushing the door in, he already recognized who the person was and slowly stood up from his chair.
The two people wearing hats saw that the people in the house were unintentional, and casually took off the hats on their heads, revealing their true faces, none other than Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong from the capital.
"Battle Commander, Uncle Shi. Wuxin hugged his fists and greeted Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong respectively.
Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong nodded in response, and at the same time looked around the simple room. Then I saw Tetsuo look at Wuxin and asked slowly, "You have been living here for the past few days?"
Wuxin nodded and said lightly: "That's right, I arrived here two days ago." ”
"Is it safe here? Who was that person just now?" Zhan Ying frowned and looked at Wuxin and asked. When he came in just now, he had already noticed the noisy crowd in the inn, which was a little too many, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Wuxin smiled, poured a cup of tea for Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong, and then said lightly: "Don't worry, it's safe here, at least for now, the person who brought you up just now is my friend, and he is the boss here." I didn't know what Zhan Ying was worried about, and I guessed what he would say next.
"It's better to be cautious, I think you should go back to Phantom City recently and take shelter for a while. Zhan Ying said heavily, reaching out and taking out a folded piece of paper from his arms, slowly opening it, and continuing: "The imperial court has issued a reward order to arrest you. As he spoke, he spread the open piece of paper on the table and pushed it in front of Wuxin.
It was a notice, with a few lines written on it, which probably meant that because of the unintentional rebellion and the intention to disturb the stability of the border pass, the imperial court was willing to offer a reward of 100,000 taels of gold for unintentional, dead or alive, etc., and finally stamped with the official seal.
Seeing this notice, Wuxin smiled and said lightly: "It seems that the news I found this time has made some people unable to sit still. ”
Zhan Ying looked at Wuxin calmly, not at all like looking at his own bounty order, so he shook his head and said: "It seems that you already know, and the palace has also issued a decree to order the six doors to arrest you within a month." "Because of this, Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong will be dressed like they were when they came.
"Not only do I know, but I also know that it was the ghost of the Xian Wang's Mansion, it seems that this time I must have poked the sore spot of the Seven Wise Kings, otherwise he would not have been able to make a fuss, and even did not hesitate to take out 100,000 taels of gold. Wuxin said lightly, the look on his face showed that he didn't care so much.
"This is my fault, and if I hadn't asked you to find out, I'm afraid things wouldn't have turned out the way they are. Zhan Ying shook his head and said, his face full of self-blame.
"The battle commander is serious, you and I have already agreed before to jointly investigate the affairs of the Xianwang Mansion, since this is the case, then there is no one's fault, besides, I went voluntarily, and the war commander said this is really a matter of not going to go. ”
Wuxin heard Zhan Ying's words, and hurriedly waved his hand, and then continued: "Don't worry, it's not so easy to kill me, many people want to kill me, but I'm not still sitting here now." The more this is the case in the Virtuous Prince's Mansion, the more weak their hearts are, and the more beneficial it is to us. ”
Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong listened, glanced at each other, and nodded to each other, feeling that what Wuxin said was not unreasonable. Then Zhan Ying looked at Wuxin and asked seriously, "What news did you find out when you went to Yanmen Wangfu this time?"
Wuxin looked at Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong, who were also curious, and said slowly: "I did hear the conversation between Gong Jiu and Yanmen King Huyan Zhulie that day, but I only heard some details, they seemed to be plotting some plans, and Gong Jiu also handed over a secret letter written by the King of Yanmen, but in the middle, I was discovered by the son of the King of Yanmen, and then the later burning of Yanmen Pass happened, but I didn't hear what the plan was, and I couldn't know the content of the secret letter." ”
Listening to Wuxin's words, Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong's faces were obviously a little disappointed, although they knew that there might be some kind of plan conspiring between the Xian Wangfu and the Yanmen Wangfu, but the content of the plan was not proven, and they didn't know what the content of the letter was, they only knew that these were useless, and they couldn't even take it to the palace to confront the Seven Sages King face to face.
"But we only know that this point will not move the Xian Wang's Mansion, and no one will believe it, even if we want others to believe it, but what should they believe? We have no evidence. Tetsuo shook his head and sighed.
Wuxin smiled and said seriously: "Others may not believe it, but we can't help but say it." After speaking, the smile on his face deepened, and he looked confident.
"What do you mean?" Tie Xiong asked with a puzzled look at Wuxin, and Zhan Ying on the side didn't seem to understand too much.
Wuxin looked at Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong, and said lightly: "Why did the Xian Wangfu have such a big reaction? How could it be bigger than the reaction of the Yanmen Palace? It was because I heard that conversation and was worried that I would say it, so I was in such a hurry to put me to death." ”
"From this, I know that now the Xianwang Mansion has been in chaos, the more panicked people are, the easier it is to make mistakes, as long as the six doors pay close attention to the movements of the Xianwang Mansion, they will definitely find something, I believe that the Yanmen Mansion will also make some moves soon, otherwise it will be abnormal. ”
"But these are not important, the most important thing now is to say this, even if no one believes it, but there will always be people who doubt it, so that they will be more likely to be found by us in the future, and it is best for the war commander to tell the emperor about this, no matter how much the emperor believes in his virtuous brother, there will always be something in his heart, and no one may believe what a person says, but slowly when everyone starts to say it, some people will naturally believe it. ”
Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong listened to Wuxin's words, glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, Wuxin was right, they couldn't be so black and didn't mention it, even if they couldn't touch the Xianwang Mansion, they had to give it a try, at least it would cause some trouble to the Xianwang Mansion, then their goal would be achieved.
"Haotian, you are worthy of your father's son, and you are born to be a quick catcher. Tie Xiong pointed at Wuxin and said with a laugh.
Before he could talk, Zhan Ying on the side suddenly frowned and said, "However, this will make the Xianwang Mansion hate you even more, and the revenge may be stronger, and I will definitely try to get rid of you." "He's right, he has already offended enough Xianwangfu without intention, if this news is really released, then Xianwangfu may not spare Wuxin.
Wuxin smiled and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, Battle Commander, I said that there are many people who want to kill me, but it's not that easy, don't worry, I will take care of myself." Strike while the iron is hot, and I hope that the commander of the war will rush back to the capital as soon as possible and report what I said to the emperor, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for him. ”
Zhan Ying hesitated, nodded solemnly, and immediately said goodbye to Wuxin, and hurried to the capital with Tie Xiong.
After Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong left, Long Xinyue walked into Wuxin's room, just now he had been guarding the door and didn't go anywhere, just because he was worried that someone would disturb Wuxin's meeting with Zhan Ying and Tie Xiong, which would bring unnecessary trouble.
"So many people want to kill you, so you don't worry at all?" Long Xinyue looked at Wuxin, who was still drinking tea leisurely, and said slowly.
"If I had been worrying all day about whether I would be killed, I would have died a few years ago, and I wouldn't be alive now. Wuxin smiled and said lightly.
He was right, from the moment he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he and Red Feather became mortal enemies, and then experienced so many fights and killings, if he really worried all day, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to sit here now.
Long Xinyue shook her head and smiled, then walked to the window, gently pushed the window open a gap, looked at the noisy crowd outside, her eyes rolled back and forth in the crowd, as if looking for something, and then said slowly: "If there is a place where I can be used, just ask." ”
Wuxin glanced at Long Xinyue with a smile, and said lightly: "Okay." He knew that Long Crescent was serious, and he was serious, because they were already friends.
After Zhan Ying returned to the capital, he came directly to the palace and asked to meet the emperor, but Tie Xiong did not follow up, but just waited outside the palace.
Time passed little by little, but Zhan Ying never came out, and Tie Xiong, who was waiting outside the palace, anxiously paced back and forth at the palace gate, not knowing what was going on inside. It's not that he doesn't want to go in, it's because with his identity, it doesn't mean that he can see the emperor when he sees him, so he can only wait outside the palace in desperation. But the longer the time dragged on, the more reassuring his heart became, and he always felt that something was wrong.
I don't know how long it took for Zhan Ying's figure to finally appear at the gate of the palace, but then Tie Xiong frowned, because he also saw another figure following Zhan Ying, it was the Seven Sages King.
Seeing the appearance of the Seven Sage Kings, Tie Xiong's heart sank, he knew that things must not be as smooth as he imagined, and he saw the expressions on the faces of the two. Zhan Ying's face did not see a trace of a relieved smile, on the contrary, it was a little gloomy, and his brows were furrowed. However, the expression of the Seven Sage Kings was unusually relaxed, even with a hint of the victor's ridicule.
Seeing the expressions of these two, Tetsuo already knew that something was wrong......
