C276 A shadow in the sun (1/2)
Looking at the scar on Wang Xuance's back, Wan'er felt a burst of panic.
As a little girl of about ten years of age, and also known for being open-minded and open-minded, she naturally did not care about the defense of men and women.
Thus, after seeing the scars on Wang Xuance's back, Wan'er asked in shock, ”Uncle, these are …?”
”These things were all smoked by others when I was young. The purpose is to make me forget about those discoveries. ” Wang Xuance said.
Wan-Er was surprised.
To make himself forget those things, to have someone whip him, to the point that he was covered in wounds?
What was this secret? Why was it so terrifying?
Wan-Er suddenly felt that there was a great danger behind it.
So she asked, ”Uncle Wang, my husband is now a pageant guest. He could very well be in danger of doing the same. ”Please tell me, uncle, what is the problem with the Master. I am deeply grateful.”
As she spoke, she bowed deeply towards Wang Xuance.
Seeing Wan'er act this way, Wang Xuance waved his hand. His voice was somewhat shaky and weak. It was as though he still had some lingering fear from the past.
However, he still forced himself to say it, ”Actually, this is not something that cannot be said. However, even if they did, no one would care. Thus, for a long period of time, I didn't pay much attention to it. It was just some weird talk from the government. Other than reminding the envoys from Luoyang to be more cautious, I have also never officially mentioned it to their people. ”
With that, he grabbed the robe that had fallen to the ground and put it back on.
As he was dressing, he said, ”When I first came to Chang'an, it was because the people of Chang'an could not keep secrets. In fact, in the feudal era, only the Qin Nation had the ability to mobilize and produce state secrets. ”So I quickly figured out the functions of the three officials and nine officials of Chang An, the division of this country into the Guan Dong faction, the Guan Zhong faction, and the Guan Xi faction, as well as the grudge between this country and the Qin people. I also figured out that the country's academic mainstream is Taoism, not the Confucianism that other countries believe in, or the law that the Qin country believes in.”
”But there is one place that is very troublesome. One of the spies I sent out was killed by them. I heard that he was already tied up in a sack and thrown into the river with a stone. Two people were severely injured. After they were rescued, they died before they could say anything. As for the remaining people, although they were slightly better, they had all gone mad. Only one person, after several months of insanity, suddenly returned to normal and told me that if the people who went there weren't insanity, it proved that they were good men. Those freaks didn't like good men. So they will kill good men. And the ones who are left are the people who have been driven mad by them. ”
”And me? Even though I could still hold on, but with a little brain power, I still ran back to pretend to be crazy. But ah! I hope that in the future, Sir Wang will not pursue this matter with the pageant anymore. ”
Wang Xuance repeated every single word of what the spy had said, and then he said, ”That spy, after saying all these words to me, directly committed suicide by suicide. As for the reason, it's also probably because at the moment of his death, they tortured him to death, making him suffer a fate worse than death! ”
As he spoke, the image of the spy dying appeared in his mind. His face was weak, struggling, twisting, malevolent, unwilling and other complex emotions.
”Then, what's the problem with this guest?” Wan-Er asked.
She knew that even though this Wang Xuance was only an envoy, her father had told her that it was only because Wang Xuance himself was of low birth.
However, his intelligence, courage, strength, and methods were all top-notch. If there was a suitable opportunity, his achievements would be no less than his own father's.
In truth, if one were to speak of it, how could an envoy of an exterminated nation like Wang Xuance be comparable to a palace poet?
Of course, at this moment, no one knew what sort of feat Wang Xuance had accomplished in another world.
As a result, even if Wang Xuance himself were to hear these words, he would only shake his head in denial.
However, this did not hinder Wan'er's trust in Wang Xuance's capabilities.
