Hearing this, Jingwei was full of disbelief. This was too ridiculous. It must be a lie he made up just to shake his own heart.
As a deadly weapon, how could Xuan Jian fall in love with a woman?
And what woman would like a killer?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Bai Yuan saw the expression on Jingwei's face and understood her thoughts: "It seems you still don't quite believe it."
This was not something he simply inferred based on the plot, but had been verified.
Although he didn't want to get involved in Xuan Jian's affairs at first, after receiving the invitation from Xinling Jun, he specially invited Wuming to sneak into Wei Yong's house last night to meet Wei Qianqian and confirm the matter from her.
Since he wanted Wei Wuji to help him and others get out of the city, Bai Yuan naturally had to prepare suitable gifts. He was not naive enough to think that he could get Wei Wuji's help for free just by calling him a "friend", and he did not want to owe anyone a favor.
Regardless of whether Jingwei believed it or not, Bai Yuan continued speaking.
"This gentle and kind woman had a bastard father who threatened his daughter and reached an agreement with Xuan Jian. For the sake of his lover, Xuan Jian had to help him kill some Wei ministers and put the blame on Luo Wang."
At this time, Jingwei's eyes widened, and his heart was already in turmoil.
Because what he said was exactly in line with what Xuan Jian had done recently, assassinating Wei ministers and then blaming all these things on Luo Wang.
"Now, everything Xuan Jian does is for his lover and children. He is no longer Luowang's weapon. What about you? Do you still want to be Luowang's Jingwei? Now that such a good opportunity is in front of you, don't you want to try to escape from Luowang and gain freedom?"
"Betraying Luowang will lead to death!"
Jingwei was still looking for reasons to escape from the trap, unless he died.
"But isn't Jingwei already dead?"
Bai Yuan said as if it was a matter of fact.
Jingwei fell silent again.
The current situation is that whether she likes it or not, "Jingwei" will die, so is she willing to escape from the trap?
Jingwei looked at Bai Yuan with a complicated expression. She didn't understand why he would do this for her.
"It's getting late, you should think about it carefully!"
Bai Yuan felt that he had said enough, and the rest depended on whether she could figure it out herself.
Anyway, no matter whether Jingwei agrees or not, the result will be the same.
While Bai Yuan was persuading Jingwei, Wuming and Wei Wuji were sitting together in the pavilion in the backyard of Xinling Jun's mansion, drinking tea and resting.
After Bai Yuan took Jingwei away, everyone had almost finished drinking, so the banquet ended quickly. Wuming immediately found Wei Wuji and expressed his desire to talk to him alone.
Wei Wuji agreed after just a slight hesitation. He had other ideas in mind when he invited the two to be his guests.
Chapter 33: Walk as if you have sprained your ankle
"What did Mr. Nobody want to talk about?"
Wei Wuji asked as he poured him some hangover tea.
Wuming took the teacup, thanked him first, and then said, "Sir, do you know that there are assassins from Luowang mixed in among the dancers today?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xinling Jun's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
"Mr. Wuming, you can't say that casually."
Although questioned by Wei Wuji, Wuming remained calm.
"Of course I am not talking nonsense. The dancer that Bai Yuan wants is Luowang's top assassin Jing Wei. She has already tried to assassinate us twice before. We will never admit our mistake. But we didn't expect that she would still want to harm you."
These were all told to him by Bai Yuan through the sound of nature before he left. At the same time, Bai Yuan also told him his plan.
After hearing Wuming's words, Wei Wuji still didn't completely believe it. He frowned and asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why didn't you two say anything at the banquet just now?"
"Because we want to make a deal with you privately, but it's not convenient because there are so many people around."
Wei Wuji narrowed his eyes and made a gesture of invitation.
"Appreciate further details!"
"Now that Qin and Wei are at war, the morale of Wei's soldiers has been dampened by the incident with Xuan Jian, and they may not be able to stop Qin's army. Although the young master appears to be indulging in wine and women, he actually still cares about Wei, right?"
Wuming first analyzed the current situation and then asked a question in return.
Wei Wuji narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
Indeed, his indulgence in wine and sex was just a helpless act to reassure the King of Wei.
"Wei State is now facing both internal and external troubles. We can do nothing about the external troubles, but we can help Wei State solve its internal troubles."
"Internal troubles? Why?"
After hearing Wuming's words, Wei Wuji began to take it seriously.
"Now, because of Xuan Jian, people in Daliang are in a panic. Everyone thinks that Xuan Jian is acting according to Luowang's orders. In fact, it is not the case. There is someone else who ordered Xuan Jian to kill people, and he holds a high position in Wei State. This is an internal worry!"
The nameless general slowly told the information about Xuan Jian.
Wei Wuji was so surprised after hearing this that he couldn't even hold the cup in his hand.
However, just before the cup was about to break, Wuming used his inner strength to catch it and put it back on the table.
He demonstrated his powerful internal strength, which made Wei Wuji's eyes widen and he believed what he said a little more.
So he hurriedly asked: "Who is this person?"
"Grand Minister, Wei Yong!"
"Is there any evidence?"
Wei Wuji remained calm after hearing this. Wei Yong was almost second only to the emperor in the State of Wei, and it was hard to believe that he would do such a thing.
Wuming smiled and nodded.
"Of course there is evidence. Xuan Jian and Wei Yong's daughter Wei Xianxian met and fell in love by accident. Wei Yong used Wei Xianxian as a threat to order Xuan Jian to deal with the ministers who disagreed with him in politics, and then he could put the blame on Luo Wang. With your means, you can tell whether this is true or not with just a little investigation."
Wei Wuji was furious after hearing this, and slammed the table with his clenched fist.
"Damn it! He is already the Grand Chancellor of Wei, why would he do such a thing!"
"Wei Yong appears loyal on the surface, but in reality he is sinister and cunning, of low character, and unworthy of his position."
Wuming was actually very angry when he confirmed this matter.
Xinling Jun closed his eyes for a long time before he calmed down. At this moment, he was like a lion waking up from sleep, majestic without being angry, and no longer the drunken and lustful look before.
"Since it's a deal, what do you want?"
Wuming smiled and held up three fingers.
"First, let us deal with Jingwei, and you, sir, must spread the news: Jingwei failed to assassinate you and has been killed."
"Secondly, we hope that you can find out the truth as soon as possible and deal with Wei Yong, but please don't implicate his daughter Wei Xianxian. After all, she is also a miserable person."
"Third, I hope you can keep today's events a secret and prepare a carriage for us to take us out of the city. Bai Yuan and I just happened to pass by Daliang. We just want to return to Xiaoshengxian Manor as soon as possible and don't want to cause too much trouble."
The three requests Wuming made were actually nothing. Wei Wuji agreed to them without hesitation, but added some conditions.
"What you said is nothing, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait before I can send you out of the city. I can only send you out of the city after I confirm the relationship between Wei Yong and Xuan Jian and capture them."
Wei Wuji said this out of caution. This matter was too serious and he couldn't just listen to Wuming's one-sided statement.
Anyway, now that we have a direction, it won’t be difficult to investigate.
Wuming nodded, knowing that this was the best outcome.
"It's getting late, Wuming will take his leave now!"
After Wuming left, Wei Wuji sat in the pavilion and let out a long sigh.
In his heart, he hoped that Wuming was lying to him, but he knew even more clearly that there was no need for Wuming to make up such a lie that would be easily exposed.
He had investigated before, and found out that the two men had no grudge against Wei Yong, and they didn't even have any connection with him. Wei Wuji himself didn't believe that they deliberately framed him.
"Somebody come!"
He called out into the darkness, and a masked secret guard appeared beside him.
"Send someone to investigate Wei Yong immediately. I want to know if he has any relationship with Xuan Jian."
"Here!"
The secret guard responded and left immediately.
Wei Wuji couldn't sleep that night.
Different from him, Bai Yuan practiced very comfortably for the whole night.
When he opened his eyes in the morning, he felt extremely energetic.
Although there was a killer sitting next to him, it did not affect him at all.
Because Wuming stayed in the guest room next to them last night, Jingwei didn't dare to do anything even if he wanted to.
She leaned on the other end of the bed, staring at Bai Yuan in a daze all night, thinking about many things.
"I didn't expect that you could still calm down and practice under such circumstances."
"Doesn't this just prove that I trust you?"
Bai Yuan answered very directly.
Hearing this, Jingwei rarely responded to him but remained silent.
It can be seen that Bai Yuan’s persuasion last night was not in vain.
"Okay, you have to continue acting with me today, Ningyan."
He looked at Jingwei with a smile, and emphasized the last two words.
"Are you so confident that your plan will succeed?"
Jingwei asked a question calmly.
"Of course, with Lord Xinling as a witness, Luowang will believe that Jingwei is dead. From now on, as long as you pay attention, you can live as a normal person."
For this plan, he even asked the world-famous Wei Wuji to endorse him.
"So, have you figured it out?"
"Oh, I don't have a choice, do I?"
Jingwei said self-deprecatingly.
In fact, what she said already reflects her innermost thoughts, and perhaps this is a good choice.
Bai Yuan was very satisfied to see Jingwei was so sensible.
He thought for a moment and then reminded me, "Be careful when you go out later. Walk as if you sprained your ankle."
"Why?"
"Please, in the eyes of others, we spent a good night together last night. If you don't react, won't it make me look useless? I don't want people to gossip about me then."
Chapter 34 Congratulations on becoming a tool
Before leaving the room, Bai Yuan made the originally tidy and clean room into a mess, and there was a dark red bloodstain on the bed.
After he helped Jingwei out of the room, the maid who was cleaning the room for them couldn't help but blush when she saw the scene in the room. Thinking of the way Jingwei had just walked out, her legs trembled a little.
"Mr. Bai Yuan is so strong!?"
After a night of thinking, Wei Wuji now returned to the same state he was in yesterday's banquet.
Seeing Jingwei unable to walk, Wei Wuji showed a teasing expression: "Mr. Bai Yuan, did you have a good rest last night?"
“Very good, very comfortable!”
Bai Yuan looked at Jingwei with a smile, revealing a satisfied expression, as if something really happened last night.
"As long as you are satisfied!" Wei Wuji nodded and took a personal contract from his subordinates. "This is Miss Ningyan's personal contract. Sir, please keep it well."
After taking the contract, Bai Yuan thanked him and then mentioned that he was going back.
"We have bothered you for a long time, so we will not waste your time any more. We will meet again next time if there is a chance!"
"Then I will see you two gentlemen off."
