Chapter 208: Acting

The doors and windows in the side hall are closed, the bright light after sunrise penetrates through the veiled panes, and the wall lamps on both sides are burning with flames, which illuminates Lian Jin's demeanor and movements, but makes the face of Tian Dan hidden in a shadow.

Lian Jin couldn't see Tian Dan's expression clearly, and it was difficult to judge the current situation, so he had to support his hands on the ground with difficulty, raise his neck and try his best to distinguish for himself.

"Last winter, an envoy from Wei came and found Wei Jun, and Wei Jun invited his master over...... On that day, Wei Jun gave an order to his master, that is, to go to the Qi country after the beginning of spring, and kill the sword saint Cao Gong of your country in a fair competition......"

Extremely weak, Lian Jin struggled to control his facial expressions to make it look like he was reminiscing—as if he was telling a real story.

Tian Dan asked at the top: "Why do you Wei Jun want to invite your master to kill Cao Gong?" Tian Dan's voice was faint, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Lian Jin's whole body began to tremble, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "That's because, among the swordsmen in the world, only my master and Cao Gong are the most powerful, Wei Jun thinks that as long as Cao Gong dies at the hands of my master on the spot, no one present will have the ability to stop my master...... Stop my master from assassinating Tian Xiang!"

Lian Jin paused before throwing out the last sentence loudly, as if he wanted to create an amazing effect.

It's a pity that Tian Dan's response made him feel very disappointed, Tian Dan's tone was still light, and he couldn't hear any emotion in it:

"What do you mean, you Wei Jun and the Wei people are planning to assassinate Benxiang?"

Lian Jin nodded hurriedly and said: "What the villain said is true, our senior brother was not present at that time, it was the master who came back to tell us, Wei Ren and Wei Jun think that on such a grand and important occasion as the East and West Sword Saint Competition, Tian Xiang will definitely go to the appointment in person, and if Cao Gong dies, it will definitely cause chaos on the scene, and people's hearts will fluctuate, so it will give my master the opportunity to get close to Tian Xiang...... Hehe, it's just that they didn't think of it, my master...... will lose ......"

Tian Dan asked nonchalantly: "In that case, why do you want to tell the prime minister these things? You are not afraid, the prime minister will kill you?"

Lian Jin's face showed a profound and incomparably hatred, and he said hatefully: "My master actually doesn't want to be used by Wei and Wei Jun, but as a patriot, he can't help himself at all, the reason why he told us about our senior brother is because of this assassination, no matter whether it is successful or not, Master knows that he will die in Qi State! So Master hopes that we can know the truth early and can take advantage of the chaos to escape!"

Lian Jin gasped heavily, and seemed to be very excited, only to hear him say again: "In the villain's opinion, Master's death was caused by Wei Jun and Wei Ren at all, and the villain only hated himself for not having the ability to take revenge! After the master died under Cao Gong's sword that day, the villain fled in a panic, and the villain knew in his heart that it was not only the soldiers of your country who were chasing me behind my back, but also the Wei people must also be chasing the villain, and the Wei people wanted to kill the villain so that their conspiracy would not be exposed......! The villain thought about it and decided to take the initiative to be caught by your country and tell your country the truth about this incident, because the villain sincerely wants to take refuge in your country!"

Lian Jin kowtowed again and again, banging loudly, letting his hair fall loosely, and said the most important sentence that the man told him: "I only ask Tian Xiang to take in the villain, and the villain is willing to repay Tian Xiang's kindness......!" In the future, if your country wants to go to war with Wei and Wei, the villain is willing to go to the battlefield in person and slash the head of the enemy!"

After saying this, Lian Jin raised his head, and a cold light of hatred shot out of his eyes......

Lu Yunzhou, who was hiding behind the screen, had a full view of all Lian Jin's performances, and when he saw Lian Jin's sincere eyes, he couldn't help but be speechless.

This acting, if he hadn't known that he was acting, maybe he would have been blindfolded!

After Lian Jin's performance, he was also full of ambition in his heart, confident that Tian Dan would definitely be angry at the conspiracy of Wei and Wei at this moment, and he would say crusade, and at the same time, he believed that Tian Dan would also understand his hatred and understand that he and the people of Qi were on the same side!

Lian Jin waited for Tian Dan to say the words to take him in, but heard Tian Dan's faint voice from above:

"Got it, you go down first. ”

Lian Jin was stunned, he didn't expect that he would get this result at all, wasn't Tian Dan angry and afraid of this at all?

Or is Tian Dan's city too deep, and his joy and anger are invisible?

Just when Lian Jin was stunned, the door behind him suddenly opened, and two soldiers walked in again, and roughly picked him up from the ground like chickens, and was about to set up a side hall.

The feeling of weightlessness hit, and the sound of the bracelet and foot cuffing Ding Ling colliding sounded again.

Lian Jin came back to his senses suddenly, and hurriedly used the last bit of strength in his body to struggle, shouting hoarsely: "Tian Xiang, what the villain says comes from the bottom of his heart, there is no lie, the villain sincerely wants to serve your country, Tian Xiang! You have to believe me! Tian Xiang! Tian Xiang--"

Lian Jin's loud roar gradually faded away, and Tian Dan sat quietly in place, with a gloomy face, looking at the gradually bright sunlight outside the house, and the cold shadows inside the house, forming a strong contrast.

Tian Dan's heart rose up with that familiar feeling again.

He felt as if his mind had been exposed to the sun, and had been completely seen through!

It is impossible for the Qin State to think that they will be impulsive enough to attack the Wei State, so the purpose of their secret provocation this time should be to instigate their own army to attack the Wei State, and secretly cooperate with other small actions to make the Qi State and the Wei State have a grudge, so that the relationship between the two countries will enter a tense state of war readiness!

Tian Dan always thought that wanting to attack Weiguo was just his own decision, but he didn't expect that in the distant Qin State, there were also people who were looking forward to and waiting for him to attack Weiguo!

Such a coincidence! The coincidence made Tian Dan feel a chill!

What was the purpose of the Qin State in stirring up relations between the Qi State and the Wei and Wei States?

Is your own mind really so obvious?

Tian Dan recalled the chaos at the Jixia Sword Meeting on the day of the Spring Festival, and a pair of palms hidden under the wide sleeves suddenly clenched into fists!

Taking a deep breath, Tian Dan's demeanor regained his coldness and hardness, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers guarding the door to close the door again.

The dim and cold atmosphere in the side hall was restored, and Tian Dan was about to open his mouth to let Lu Yunzhou behind the screen come out to discuss, when he saw that Lu Yunzhou was already sitting on the table opposite him, and at this moment he was holding his chin with one hand, looking intently at the desk in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Tian Dan couldn't help but be stunned, looked down at the desk, and saw that at some point, Lu Yunzhou had already dipped the wine in the cup on the table to draw a rough map of the situation of the borders of various countries.
