Chapter 387: Turning Enemies into Enemies
Seeing that Lin Wan had admitted his identity, Ximen Yuqing had a smile on his face even more, and his eyes were brighter, staring at Lin Wan's face tightly, as if he could see Lin Wan's real face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Wan lowered his eyes, avoided his direct gaze, and cut directly to the point, asking, "Is Prince Ximen willing to sell us weapons?"
Ximen Yuqing sighed lightly, there was some sadness in his voice, and whispered: "Do you know? I followed you all the way, to Lianbi City, to Qi City in Dongli, and then rushed to Fengnan City from Dongli, but every time I was so late. When I heard someone talk about the Amu girl from the Medicine King Valley in Lianbi City, I was wondering, is that you?"
Lin Wan was a little irritable in her heart, her eyes lowered, looking at the already cold tea bowl in front of her, frowning slightly, and being silent.
Ximen Yuqing continued: "Apart from you, what other woman can come up with such a resolute, such a risk, such a way to put her to death and live later? Apart from you, who else has the ability to make even the city lord of Bicheng and the old general Qi listen to you? Only you, you always have so many unexpected methods, plus your persuasiveness, and the friendship between Old Man Zhao and Old Man Qi. I don't think anyone else can do it but you. ”
Lin Wan raised his head and smiled faintly, there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. The polite words are not interesting, and the ruthless words seem to be a little too mean, and she still wants to leave a little room to talk about weapons with Ximen Yuqing.
Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan's indifferent smile, his heart was slightly cold, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I knew from the beginning that you would not be stupid by Lan Ziyue's sword, but when I saw the woman in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was so scared when she saw me, and her eyes were completely different from yours." I thought you were really frightened, but after I checked her pulse, I was sure it wasn't you. ”
Listening to Ximen Yuqing's confession, Lin Wan's heart became more and more confused, and he wanted to stop him from talking, but he couldn't bear to speak. Lin Wan knows very well what kind of feelings this is, although she can't accept it, she can't hurt it cruelly. If you turn against each other, you will only get yourself and Zhou Tianqi into more trouble, and a stronger enemy under the tree.
Lin Wan wanted to resolve it, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only do it slowly.
Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan's somewhat flustered eyes, his mood was inexplicably better, and then he said: "Later, I knew that General Zhao was missing, and you would definitely come to seal Nancheng, so I came." As soon as I came, I heard that the Amu girl from the Medicine King Valley was here, and I was even more sure, it must be you. ”
Lin Wan raised his eyes, met Ximen Yuqing's gaze, and slowly spoke: "Since Prince Ximen knows that I am here for General Zhao, and I also know that the army of Pingnan is fighting with South Vietnam, then please ask Prince Ximen to sell us some weapons." ”
Ximen Yuqing shook his head lightly and did not answer Lin Wan's question. Instead, he wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Lin Wan, his voice was a little hoarse, and he slowly asked, "Wan'er, I have a doubt, are you willing to tell me the truth?"
Lin Wan was stunned, not knowing how to answer, and had a hunch in his heart that the question he wanted to ask must be something he couldn't answer.
Ximen Yuqing's eyes were full of pain, and he continued to ask, "Is it okay? I just want to know the truth." ”
Lin Wan looked at Ximen Yuqing's eyes, and the pain in that gaze burned his eyes. couldn't help but hang his head slightly, not daring to look at him again.
Ximen Yuqing saw that Lin Wan acquiesced, and no longer forced her to agree. Instead, he asked word by word: "Along the way, every place you go, there is a man with you, is that man Zhou Tianqi, the seventh prince of the Great Feudal Kingdom?"
Lin Wan was shocked, her body stiffened, but she didn't dare to raise her head, and her mind was full of thoughts. Should I admit it or not, and if I did, what would he do?
The room was so quiet that Lin Wan felt a little crazy, and he couldn't think about it.
"Miss, the tea is ready, can I come in?" Bing'er's voice sounded outside the door.
Lin stood up suddenly, walked towards the door, opened the door, and looked at Bing'er, his eyes full of gratitude.
Bing'er looked at Lin Wan's expression, a little puzzled, and then looked at Ximen Yuqing at the table, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual.
The two slowly walked to the table, and Lin Wan sat back in his seat.
Bing'er put the tray on the table, put a bowl of osmanthus rock sugar tea in front of Lin Wan, and put another bowl of jasmine tea in front of Ximen Yuqing, and said: "Childe, the slave maid makes jasmine tea for you, I don't know if it suits your taste, if you don't like it, the slave can go and change another bowl." ”
Ximen Yuqing raised his head, looked at Bing'er, hooked his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Thank you girl, my son likes it very much." ”
Bing'er felt that Ximen Yuqing's demeanor was a little frivolous, so she couldn't help but cool her face, took a step back, and stood behind Lin Wan.
Ximen Yuqing sighed softly and said sadly: "Even the people around Sister Amu are the same as Sister Amu, rejecting people thousands of miles away. ”
Bing'er stood with her head down, motionless, without even a slight change in her expression, as if she didn't hear what Ximen Yuqing was saying.
Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Master Ximen, Bing'er has made a good cup of tea, please try it." It's just that I personally prefer flower tea, I don't know if you're used to drinking it. ”
Ximen Yuqing secretly remembered Lin Wan's preferences, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. The refreshing and fragrant tea slowly flowed into the stomach, as if all the previous worries had been diluted.
Lin Wan also picked up the osmanthus rock sugar tea in front of him, blew it lightly, and then slowly sipped it, and was even more grateful to Bing'er in his heart. This fragrant and sweet osmanthus rock sugar tea made her whole body relax, and even her bitter heart felt a trace of sweetness.
Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan's smart eyes and facial expression as if he had been resurrected in an instant, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Well, don't push her anymore. What's more, the real answer may not want to be heard, let alone spoken out of her mouth.
After a long time, Lin Wan raised his head and looked at Ximen Yuqing with a smile, as if he had forgotten what they had just said. Like a friend, he calmly asked, "Mr. Ximen, how is it? Is this jasmine tea delicious?"
Ximen Yuqing leaned back, unfolded the folding fan, shook the fan gently, nodded with a smile, and said, "Sister Amu is really blessed, having such a loyal and capable person by her side as Miss Bing'er, it's really enjoyable everywhere!"
Lin Wan smiled with crooked eyebrows, nodded and said, "That's natural, I think so too." After a pause, he frowned, dragged out his voice, and said jokingly: "It's just, Ximen Gongzi, what are you enjoying shaking your fan on such a cold day?" )
