They had written down the na Rizhu Gu Shenwei chose the for Wenshi+ the latter
“We should have written down the sa his head He thought that a counselor and his master were supposed to write down the same name, look at each other with a satisfied smile, and then suddenly be onand Fang Wenshi+ had different ideas
“Why do you think that King Dari is the Central Plain’s hidden traitor? He’s the first rightful heir to the throne,” Fang Wenshi+ began
“King Dari has a yellow-faced servant named Fu Yuan Have you heard of him?” said Gu Shenwei
“Yes He seems to be a yesto sit on the throne,” replied Fang Wenshi+
“Fu Yuan is not just a yesDari is just a puppet who has lost his ability to think properly It is Fu Yuan who tells him how to act,” said Gu Shenwei
“So the ru Dari is only around fifty How could he suffer fro Wenshi+
“Yes, the rumor is true But more importantly, Fu Yuan is from the Central Plain,” replied Gu Shenwei
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Wenshi+ was still not convinced “That doesn’t prove that King Dari is the hidden traitor,” Fang Wenshi+ retorted “It’s risky to use a servant from the Central Plain to control a lord of Norland, because he’d be too unreliable If I worked for the Central Plain, I would never choose such a hidden traitor,” said Fang Wenshi+
“TellRizhu acts suspicious, he could not be the hidden traitor of the Central Plain Have you forgotten? His son died at the hands of the Eued Gu Shenwei
“His enehness, your words have re Rizhu intends to win the threeelse I have a hunch that the Central Plain will be the largest beneficiary if King Rizhu wins these uesses were based on weak foundations Fang Wenshi+ regarded this as an interesting ga a bet? We spend three days looking for evidence, and then see whose guess is right”
“What if both of our guesses are wrong?” asked Gu Shenwei
“If that’s the case, you should make a concession since you are , you still lose the bet,” said Fang Wenshi+
Gu Shenwei became interested in the bet, so he asked, “Okay, so what are the stakes?”
Fang Wenshi+ replied, looking aard, “The stakes need to be within hness, I promise you that I am not rich, so I don’t haveWenshi+, and he knew that hisfor a while, he said, “Then, ten taels of silver We can both afford that”
Fang Wenshi+ couldn’t help bursting into laughter He returned, “The stake is too small” After awhile, he proposed, “How about this? If you win, I will not be paid for the work I’ve done for you in Norland It would save you a lot of money”
“What if you win?” asked Gu Shenwei
“Hehe I will receiveWenshi+ said, looking at the Dragon King with a sly smile “If I offend you one day, I hope — you will spare ’s coht displease you some day No one knoill happen in the future,” he said
This stake was bigger than Gu Shenwei had expected Besides, Fang Wenshi+’s stake was also suspicious He had chosen an optimal time to propose it Gu Shenwei mused for a while, and then nodded yes So far, he believed his Military Counselor, and also he knew that death was not the only form of punishment He said, “Okay Whatever crime you commit in the future, I will spare your life — but only once”
It wasWenshi+ left the tent He walked back to his tent elated He wasn’t planning to betray the Dragon King, but the deal he’d uarantee his safety He took a chance in proposing it, and he took pride in his success
Gu Shenas not sleepy at all Now that he was in a foreign environes, he was much more excited than usual
Gu Shenwei stayed calm in front of others When he was alone, he preferred to let his mind wander He analyzed several lords of Norland he had ns Still, he could not decipher who the hidden traitor was
He wanted to discuss it with Maid Lotus, but she was not around She was busy in a secret locationRizhu’s son had after his death
All of sudden, the tent was hit with a small stone
To Gu Shenwei’s surprise, someone dared to provoke him the first day he moved into his new encampment He immediately pulled out his Five Peaks Saber, stood still and listened closely It was unwise to leave the tent to see as happening
Then another stone was thrown into the tent It see’s attention
Gu Shenwei did notcarefully There was no noise outside the tent, though, proving that this person excelled in Lightness Skills Gu Shenwei silently h the hole Then, he turned right, walked forward and stopped where the stones were being thrown
The third stone fleards hiht it Gu Shenwei found that the stones were not being throiththe stones stood beyond several tents, covered with a cloak Suddenly, she waved her hands at Gu Shenwei, turned around, and disappeared instantly
