C289 Evidence of conspiracy (1/2)
Xiao Wen looked towards the door and saw that the group of youngsters who had been jostling each other at the door, wanting to clearly see what had happened inside, had already parted to form a path. The person who walked in was a man wearing purple tang suit.
At the side, Shangguan Wan'er had a nervous expression on her face as she followed the man.
Before Xiao Wen could respond to Wan-Er, Zhuge Liang walked out from the crowd of youths and said, ”Wan-Er, why are you here? Are you okay? ”
”I'm fine, big brother Xiao Liang.” Wan-Er shook her head and said, ”I went to visit the elder father told me to. Then I told the elder about the mister. ”He knew that you had done a great job, so he said you were in danger and brought me here …”
Zhuge Liang nodded in a ”I see” manner when he heard this.
Actually, he was also confused from the start. Under Xiao Wen's arrangements, he had to present the horse carriage and the lever crossbow today. However, after he told the Young Manor Lord about what happened with Xiao Wen, Mo Ming brought the guards of the Young Manor and a bunch of military weapons that were originally prepared to be delivered to the front lines to the Guest Hall without a second word.
From beginning to end, he didn't understand what was going on.
As he spoke, Wang Xuance also looked deeply at Zhuge Liang. He asked Shangguan Wan'er, ”Is this your classmate?”
”Yes, Uncle Wang. He is Wan'er's classmate.” Shangguan Wan'er said.
Hearing this, Wang Xuance said: ”Since that's the case, then you should just stay here with your classmates. Don't go in.” Although it was already stable inside, it was still somewhat dangerous. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to your father. ”
”But …” Wan-Er hesitated and looked at Xiao Wen. His eyes were filled with hesitation.
At this time, Zhuge Liang held Wan-Er's hand and said, ”Brother Yu is inside. It's fine. Wan-Er, if you go in now, you will only get in the way. ”The elder brother here is extremely talented, his words have a nice ring to them, I really like staying here.”
With that, he turned his head and heard the group of youths greeting Wan-Er with a smile, including Li Zicheng. ”Hello, sister-in-law.”
What the hell is a sister-in-law! Wan-Er cursed in her mind.
But she did not refuse Zhuge Liang's good intentions. After she bid farewell to Wang Xuance, she stood on the spot and began to watch.
On the other side, Xiao Wen had a hint of understanding when he saw Wang Xuance walk in.
He knew that the person who Wan'er was visiting today had been arranged by Shangguan Tinzhi.
Shangguan Tinzhi, on the other hand, was a spy.
It was obvious that no matter who this man in front of him was, he was related to Shangguan Tinghua and Tang Kingdom's spy network.
Therefore, as spies, it was reasonable for them to know some unknown secrets.
Thus, Xiao Wen smiled and ordered, ”You're dead meat!”
However, the order wasn't clear on why Xiao Wen was so sure about the date of his death. He didn't see the coffin nor did he cry as he said to Xiao Wen: ”With just you? Xiao Wen, don't forget, you're just a common kid. This country, this country has always belonged to His Majesty. As long as Your Majesty doesn't let me die, you won't be able to do anything to me! ”
”This country belongs to the emperor?” When Xiao Wen heard this, he let out a cold laugh.
Sorry, just like how the Zhou Dynasty ruled this country through a system of blood ties, which was called ”the world of the family.” There was a little blood relationship between the Son of Heaven and the Minister.
In the Han Dynasty, many of the subjects of this country came from the lower classes. However, after accumulating enough battle merits, he would be promoted to a noble.
Hence, this country belonged not only to the emperor, but also to those nobles who had been promoted.
If the emperor could not reconcile their differences, then the country would inevitably fall apart.
And if he wanted to maintain the balance, then Xiao Wen would have the chance to make this order a sacrifice to maintain the country's political balance!
Looking at the order, Xiao Wen said, ”Since you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, then I'll let you see how you write the word 'dead' today!”
With that, he clasped his hands at the man and said, ”Thank you for your troubles, sir.”
”No worries!” Wang Xuanzi also cupped his hands in a greeting to Xiao Wen. He said, ”I once had a grudge against you for giving me such an order. Therefore, it can be said that I have avenged my revenge by exposing his identity.”
