Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 47 Lecher
Wei Xiaobao hadn't intended to leave in the first place, but when he heard Wang Yun stop him, he sat back down and chuckled to himself, "Finally, you old fellow are going to beg me."

Wang Yun waited for Wei Xiaobao to sit down, then said in a tone that was almost pleading, "Now that things have come to this, only my nephew can save me."

Wei Xiaobao slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then looked at Wang Yun without saying a word.

Wang Yun thought his voice was too soft and Wei Xiaobao didn't hear him, so he said it again louder.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "To be honest, I haven't been to school for a long time, so I don't understand what you are saying."

Wang Yun had no choice but to put aside his pride and said in plain language, "What I'm saying is that you are the only one who can save me now."

Wei Xiaobao said, "How can I save you? Should I go to Dong Zhuo and tell him that I gave Cao Cao the Seven-Star Sword? I don't think Dong Zhuo would believe it."

Wang Yun continued, "The Seven-Star Sword is a family heirloom. I once considered presenting it to the late emperor. However, the late emperor, mindful of its importance, declined my offer. If you, my nephew, can persuade the Prince of Chenliu to conceal the truth for me, you can save my family from this disaster."

Wei Xiaobao said, "You mean to have the Prince of Chenliu tell Dong Zhuo that the Seven-Star Sword was awarded to him by the old emperor, and he gave it to Cao Cao?"

Wang Yun nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

After he finished speaking, Wang Yun worried that he hadn't been straightforward enough, so he added, "That's exactly what I think."

Wei Xiaobao nodded and said, "Alright, I'll do my best to intercede for you, but I'm afraid Prince Chenliu won't listen to me."

Wang Yun said, "Your teacher, Lord Lu, has already told me that you've been with the Prince of Chenliu for four years. It must have been after Concubine Wang passed away that Empress Dowager Dong arranged for you to take care of him. Being able to accompany the Prince of Chenliu during this critical period and grow up with him naturally means you have earned his trust. Furthermore, my nephew saved His Majesty and the Prince of Chenliu a few days ago. How could the Prince of Chenliu not listen to you?"

Wei Xiaobao cursed in his heart, "Damn it, you used to be able to speak properly, but you just had to use all that flowery language with me! Even though things aren't what you thought, it's a piece of cake to accomplish this. Besides, I came here just for the Seven Star Sword. If you follow your plan, maybe Dong Zhuo will give it to us, and I won't have to steal it."

Wei Xiaobao said, "Since Lord Situ said so, let's give it a try. As for whether Dong Zhuo believes it or not, that will depend on God's will."

Wang Yun said, "On behalf of my whole family, I would like to thank you, nephew, for saving my life."

Wei Xiaobao didn't care about Wang Yun's thanks, but thought to himself: "If I can take this sword back to the Qing Dynasty, it will be considered a reward for my trip. However, this sword needs to be cast by Zhang Jue. I guess it will be like the sword in Master Hong's hand. I can't take it away."

Thinking about it, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but say, "What a shame! I worked so hard for nothing. In the end, I got nothing out of it."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Wang Yun thought Wei Xiaobao was hinting at him, so he quickly sent a servant to give him a few instructions.

Wei Xiaobao saw Wang Yun whispering in the servant's ear and thought, "Is this old fellow going to give me some silver? Hehe, then I'll just accept it."

After the servants left, Wei Xiaobao said, "Master Situ, please tell me the origin of the Seven Star Sword so that I can tell Prince Chenliu about it when he returns. This will prevent Dong Zhuo from revealing the secret."

Wang Yun then recounted the origin of the Seven Star Sword, including how the Wang family occasionally obtained the materials, how they spent a large sum of money to find a famous craftsman to forge the sword, and how it took a long time to inlay the gems, etc. Among them, what Wei Xiaobao was most concerned about was, of course, the origin of the seven jade stones.

After learning that the largest jade among them was at least a thousand years old, Wei Xiaobao was already eager to get the Seven-Star Sword as soon as possible.

Wei Xiaobao was about to get up and say goodbye when he heard the sound of bell music. Wang Yun smiled and said, "If you don't mind, my dear nephew, please stay and enjoy the singing and dancing at the mansion, and then return to the palace to report to the Prince of Chenliu."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "You old fellow, your head is hanging on your belt, and you still have the mind to ask me to accompany you to watch girls sing and dance? Is it because the silver you want to give me is too much and you can't prepare it all at once, so you are using this to hold me back? Haha, now I'm rich, but it's a pity that I hide in the palace every day and can't spend the silver. I just don't know if I can take this silver back with me."

When Wei Xiaobao thought of the silver, he couldn't stop smiling. He said with a smile, "It would be nice to watch some singing and dancing."

As the music grew louder, several singing girls in gorgeous costumes slowly entered the room with graceful steps. The girl in the center, her dress as thin as a cicada's wing, the veil slightly covering her face, bowed slightly in greeting, and then danced gracefully, her arms sometimes visible and sometimes hidden by her sleeves, like lotus roots carved from white jade, instantly captivating Wei Xiaobao's eyes.

Wang Yun saw this and asked with a smile, "What do you think, nephew?"

Wei Xiaobao didn't bother to reply and just nodded.

The singer's fingers pinching the gauze reminded Wei Xiaobao of the spring bamboo shoots he secretly ate in the kitchen of Lichunyuan. They were white with a slightly pink tip. Only the spring bamboo shoots covered with dew could be like this. Only such spring bamboo shoots had an indescribable sweetness when eaten.

Wei Xiaobao swallowed hard, fearing that saliva would flow out from the corners of his mouth.

The music gradually stopped, and the singer's movements became slower and slower until she stopped completely. She then casually dropped the veil covering her face.

Wei Xiaobao saw her face clearly and cried out in his heart, "Death! Death! I'm going to die! She's even prettier than my pretty wife. If only I could bite her finger, it would be worth it even if I died right now."

Wang Yun waved his hand, and the singer folded her hands lightly and bowed, then slowly walked to Wei Xiaobao's table and filled the wine glass in front of him.

Wei Xiaobao looked at the singer, his mouth grinning to the back of his head, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Wang Yun smiled and said, "My dear nephew, I'm sure Lord Lu has already told you that this is the singer Diao Chan from our mansion."

The wine glass in Wei Xiaobao's hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Wang Yun nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "This boy is so lustful. Fortunately, I haven't had time to regret this marriage. Otherwise, let alone asking him to help me, I'm afraid you would have tried to kill me."

Wei Xiaobao's mood at this moment was not what Wang Yun thought. He was not excited, not happy, but afraid!
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "No wonder Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo for you. I would have done the same in his place. It's a pity I already knew I couldn't win this bet. Damn it, why did I go to a teahouse to listen to Romance of the Three Kingdoms? If I didn't know the outcome, I would have had to marry you home first, not to mention Lü Bu. Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were involved, I would have been forced to marry you. Bah, bah, bah, Guan Yu definitely won't fight me to the death for you. What a sin."

Wei Xiaobao had figured it out, so he didn't dare to respond to Wang Yun's words. He said, "The teacher only told me to come and say goodbye to Master Situ, but didn't mention anything else. I don't know what Master was talking about."

Wang Yun was speechless for a moment.

Wei Xiaobao continued, "Now that I've seen the song and dance, I'll go back to the palace to report."

Wei Xiaobao didn't dare to look at Diao Chan again. He lowered his head and ran out of Situ Mansion. After walking for a while, he remembered that his horse was still there. He didn't dare to go back, so he could only walk back to the palace.
