Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2466 Reconciliation 8.0

"Let's talk about how he cheated you later, or how did they solve the problem this time when you cheated him?"

"Solve? How else can it be solved? Aren't those their methods?" Wanyan Xi didn't quite understand Xue Ruitian's question. A trace of confusion appeared on his face, but he continued to add, "Isn't it all they can do to warn me? They said that if there is a next time, I will not be allowed to stay in the Regent Palace, or even in Linhuang Prefecture. Not only that, they also threatened me that if I don't behave, they will directly send me to Wanyan Zongcheng or Wanyan Ping."

"You didn't take it seriously at all, did you?"

"I take it seriously. After all, I can't honestly let them hand me over to Wanyan Zongcheng or Wanyan Ping. Although the relationship between these two people is not very good, once I appear, they will unite to face the outside world. After all, Wanyan Zongcheng was the initiator of the palace coup, and he is the one who least wants me to be alive. As for Wanyan Ping," Wanyan Xi sneered, "although she does not agree with Wanyan Zongcheng, it must be said that she is the biggest beneficiary of the palace coup. As long as I am gone, they will be the legitimate heirs to the throne."

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian exchanged glances. They did not intend to explain to Wanyan Xi that the current Wanyan Ping was no longer the Wanyan Ping she knew. Moreover, both the former Wanyan Ping and the current Wanyan Xiaomei were loyal supporters of his elder brother, the eldest prince. What they had to do was to firmly grasp the throne and wait for Wanyan Xi to return to Yiqing Prefecture one day and return the throne to him.

They did not intend to explain all this to Wanyan Xi, because even if they did, Wanyan Xi would not believe it. Only when he really fought back to Yiqing Prefecture, met Wanyan Xiaomei, and took the seal that symbolized the King of Gold from her, would he understand how many people had spent so much thought, effort, and planning to get this throne to him.

Wanyan Xi looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian, not understanding why they suddenly fell silent. He wanted to ask, but did not dare to.

"We just thought of something else. It has nothing to do with what you are talking about." Xue Ruitian waved his hand at Wanyan Xi, "Go on."

"Oh." Wanyan Xi responded, and after looking at the expressions of the others, it seemed that it really had nothing to do with him. He was relieved, picked up the tea at hand, took a sip, and continued, "In order to avoid such a situation, I really behaved myself for a long time. But later I found that as long as I didn't do anything too excessive, they wouldn't bother me, so."

"You've been quiet for a while, and now you're acting weird again?"

"Yes!" Wanyan Xi was a little embarrassed when his best brother exposed the truth. "Although it is a solid sprout, it can't be as serious as before. It's impossible to add anything to food or drink. These are just minor things. No one cares."

"As expected, it would be strange if you could be honest." Dai Yi pouted his lips in disdain, "But why did you stop after being warned? Besides being afraid of being given to Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping, are there other reasons?"

"Of course there were other reasons. After all, I didn't have the energy and strength to mess around at that time." Wanyan Xi spread his hands and said helplessly, "The time when I was honest was actually the time when I was recuperating. I lay in bed for about half a month before my injuries healed, and another half a month to recover. By the time I could act like a demon again and jump around, it had been almost a month and a half."

"Recovering from the injury?" Several people asked in unison, "How did you get hurt?"

"Your whereabouts won't be discovered, right?" Dai Yi frowned and looked him up and down. "Did Wanyan Zongcheng or Wanyan Ping's men discover you and try to assassinate you?"

"No, no, it's not as serious as you think. I was just retaliated against."

"Revenge?" Jin Miaomiao touched her chin, "Young Master Qi?"

"Yes!" Wanyan Xi nodded towards Jin Miaomiao, showing a helpless smile, and said, "However, it is not accurate. It should be revenge from the Qi family. It's just that they can't do it openly, so they use this cover-up method."

"Tell me more about it."

"In fact, you know, all my troubles and all my jumping up and downs were actually because I wanted Yeluertu to help me attack Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping. He didn't agree to it, so I made him very upset. He also understood it in his heart, but for various reasons, he couldn't be sure to help me, so he could only tolerate my disruption."

"and then?"

"I still remember that I was retaliated on a dark and windy night. During the day, I went to find Yeluertu and tried to persuade him to send troops to help me, but he..."

"You were rejected just like before?" Jin Jing took a sip of tea and glanced at Wanyan Xi. "He doesn't seem like the type to reject you directly. He'll find all sorts of excuses, right?"

"Yes, he didn't refuse directly, but just said he would think about it. As for how long it would take, he didn't say. He just dismissed me so simply. In fact, I knew very well in my heart that he was just perfunctory. He didn't want to rashly send troops because of me, but he didn't want to give up such a good proton like me. So, he would delay it for a day, and deceive me for a day, but he couldn't make me angry, lest I do something uncontrollable."

"You knew he was just trying to fool you, but you didn't react at all?"

"I did. I just wanted to cause trouble. I was rejected that day, so I just kept wandering around outside. I felt really bad, so I went to the casino and had some fun. You know, there is no curfew in Linhuang Prefecture. You can wander around as late as you want. There is food, drinks, and fun. You can have whatever you want."

"Yeah." Jin Jing nodded, "I know this, so, besides going to the casino, what else did you do?"

"The casino wouldn't let me stay longer because I was young. I stayed for less than an hour before they kicked me out. I was still angry, so I went to a place to drink, but they wouldn't let me stay longer. I went to several places that night and drank for a while in each place. I didn't drink much in each place, but I still drank a lot in total. I finally felt tired and wanted to go back, but I felt dizzy and couldn't even walk steadily."

"Wait, wait, you can drink? How come we didn't know?" Dai Yi was suspicious. "Don't you claim to get drunk after one drink? How is it possible that you drank all night?" He raised his eyebrows. "So, you're just lying about getting drunk after one drink?"

"Of course not. One glass was something that happened later. There was a knot in my heart. When I drank, I would unconsciously think of that knot, and I would feel fear, and when I felt fear, I would faint. So, I simply don't drink now, so as not to make myself feel uncomfortable."

"I see." Dai Yi nodded. "Then what is your knot? Is it related to your next story?"

"It is related. It is because of the revenge of the Qi family." "Really?"

"Yes." Wanyan Xi took a deep breath and said, "That night, I was very drunk. I couldn't see clearly and couldn't walk smoothly. But I still managed to stumble back to the Regent's Palace. But when I was almost there, a group of people put a sack on me."

"Didn't you see those people clearly?"

"Yes." Wanyan Xi sighed, "I was already in a daze at that time. It was already good enough to see that it was a group of people. It was too strange to be able to see their appearance clearly."

"That's right. It's not easy for you to still remember these details afterwards."

"Because I got beaten, and it hurt!" Wanyan Xi patted Dai Yi, telling him to stop ruining his own show, and continued, "I vaguely remember that group of people took me to a small alley not far from the Regent Palace, and beat me up. I was the only one howling the whole time, and those people didn't say a word."

"But you know who hit you, right?"

"I know, otherwise how could I have made enemies with the Qi family?" Wanyan Xi sighed, "But I also know that it has nothing to do with Young Master Qi. It's probably someone from his family who couldn't stand me bullying him, so he found someone to beat me up. The group of people beat me up and left without saying a word. At that time, I was already in a semi-comatose state, conscious but not very much."

"You were sober at that time." Dai Yi looked at him seriously and said, "Are you sober?"

"I'm awake now. Fortunately, I drank so much alcohol, so I didn't feel any pain during the whole process."

"When you're drunk, you become numb. No matter how badly you're injured, you won't feel anything. But..." Jin Miaomiao explained, "after you sober up, the pain that disappeared briefly will come back, and it will come back even more severely."

"Master Jin is right. I didn't feel any discomfort at the time, but after I sobered up, my whole body was in pain, so painful that I couldn't stand it. It took me a lot of effort to get out of the sack. I couldn't see clearly, so I crawled forward with my hands. In the process of crawling, I accidentally touched a wooden sign, and I put it in my arms. It was this wooden sign that later confirmed that the person who beat me was from the Qi family."

"Qi family's badge?"

"Yes." Wanyan Xi nodded. "At that time, I didn't want to find out who it was. The most important thing was to save my own life. I tried my best to find the way back to the Regent's Palace, and then fainted at the door of the Regent's Palace."

"You actually found the way?" Dai Yi, the troublemaker, came online again, "It's not easy!"

"It took me a long time to find the right direction. When I fell down, I heard chaos all around me, a bunch of people shouting and yelling, it sounded very panicked."

"You are really panicking!" Jin Miaomiao couldn't help complaining, "After all, you are a prince of the Jin Kingdom. If you die in front of the Regent's Palace, Yelu Ertu and Yelu Nan will have no way to explain it. If this news spreads to the Jin Kingdom, although Wanyan Zongcheng is very happy to hear this good news, he will also be very happy to use this excuse to declare war on the Liao Kingdom."

"Yes, that's what Yelu Nan said later. I fell at the door with wounds all over my body. He was shocked when he received the news and ordered all the gates of Linhuang Prefecture to be blocked. The streets were under martial law and no one was allowed to walk around freely. However, I didn't know about all this. I had fainted at the time. When I woke up again, I was already lying in my own bed, and that was a few days later."

"Where's the badge?"

"The badge was placed on the table beside the bed. When I woke up, my guards were all there, watching over me. They said that they found me fainted at the gate of the Regent's Palace, and the entire palace had been blown up. If I died there, they would not be able to escape responsibility. So, they tried their best to treat me and save my life in the past few days. Fortunately, my injuries were not that serious, and my internal organs were not damaged, so I survived."

"Well, this is very normal." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Fortunately you are fine, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable."

"Yes, I am also very fortunate. After I finished listening to the guard's story, I looked at the wooden sign again. There was a big "Qi" on it."

"Then you understand who did it?"

"Yes." Wanyan Xi nodded, "But before I could confront Young Master Qi, he and Yelu Nan came and said that it was his family who did it and it had nothing to do with him. But he refused to admit his fault because it was revenge for what I did before. I know and understand, but I just can't get over it. I can let it go, but every time we meet after that, we'll be sarcastic and neither of us will forgive the other."

“Is it still like this now?”

"Yes." Wanyan Xi nodded, "So, I don't quite know how to face him."

"We can always face it. This is what helps you untie the knot in your heart. However, the solution I'm talking about is not this." Xue Ruitian touched his chin and looked at Wanyan Xi with a little curiosity. "Logically speaking, the thing you put on Young Master Qi should not be able to be untied in a short time, right?"

"How could a child like him know about this!" Jin Miaomiao rolled her eyes, slapped Xue Ruitian on the shoulder, and said, "Even if we take a step back, they can't explain how they solved the problem and the process of solving it to the person who gave them the things, right?"

"Ah, that's true. I really can't tell you." Xue Ruitian nodded. "I'm just a little curious. Is the thing you gave them very strong?"

"It's not as serious as you think. It's just a little bit. It will make Young Master Qi feel uncomfortable for a while. That's enough." Wanyan Xi thought for a while, "About half an hour. When the effect of the medicine wears off, nothing will happen. In fact, I know a little bit about what happened to them at that time." He saw Xue Ruitian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he chuckled and said, "My Lord, there's no need to look at me like that. There is a river outside the secret passage. They stayed in the river for a while, and the effect of the medicine wore off."
