Chapter 172: People are not as good as God (Part 2)
Xin Luo's words made Xin Zhi laugh.
But now that the situation was critical, she just curled her lips, with a cloud of worry still hanging between her brows.
"Aluo, King Wudu is just an idle prince. He doesn't even get involved in the affairs of the country. Normally, he shouldn't pay attention to this troublesome Wei Congyun."
"The prince said that he wants me to help test Wei Congyun's intention."
Xin Zhi shook her head: "That's what makes people feel strange. After all, we are from Wei, and if Wei Congyun wants to see you by name, King Wudu will definitely become suspicious.
Besides, you are his concubine after all, how can a foreign man see you whenever he wants?"
Xin Luo said: "Sister, what you mean is... Wei Congyun probably holds the prince's hand, so he has to compromise?"
Xin Zhi said: "He is still a prince after all. How could he be willing to be persecuted? That's why he asked you to test Wei Congyun, and by the way, he tested you too."
Xin Luo's anger suddenly rose and she cursed: "His Majesty wanted to give me to Zhuge Chen at the beginning. If Zhuge Yue hadn't been doing this behind his back, why would I have followed him..."
"Aluo!" Xin Zhi scolded: "How long has it been and you are still thinking about these old things?
Now I have to figure out how to take the next step.
With the abilities of the two young masters of the Huan family, it was only a matter of time before they captured King Yong.
What kind of impact do you think the two of us can have on this result?"
Most of Xin Luo's anger dissipated.
In the eyes of those powerful people, they are just like ants, just trying to survive in the cracks. What else can they hope for?
Xin Zhi said softly: "Since we can't, all we need to think about is how to survive.
Ji Yinfeng is a ready-made example. No matter how many sweet words she usually talks, she will immediately turn against the person whenever something happens.
No matter how difficult life is in Wei, it is our hometown after all, and we still have parents and relatives to rely on. It is better than wandering like rootless duckweeds in other countries."
Two years ago, Xin Luo would not have been able to listen to such words.
Now that she has experienced the ups and downs of human relationships, she begins to agree with her sister's views.
"Sister, King Yong is your majesty's mortal enemy. Although we are not able to capture him, capturing his son is a great achievement.
It’s just that we don’t have anyone available, so how easy is it to capture Wei Congyun?”
Xin Zhi said: "Don't forget King Wudu. As long as you can persuade him, Wei Congyun will be unable to fly."
"But what should I tell the prince?"
Xin Zhi also had some difficulties.
The two of them grew up together, and she knew exactly what her sister was like.
Not only did she convince Zhuge Yue, she was even more worried about the meeting with Wei Congyun.
Xin Luo suddenly grabbed her hand: "I do have an idea, but I don't know if Wei Congyun met my sister when he was in Jin Kingdom."
"You mean Li Daitao is stiff?"
"Yes, if Wei Congyun has not met my sister, you can go and meet him on my behalf.
My sister is much smarter and more adaptable than me, so she will definitely not suffer."
"The method is good, but it also requires the consent of King Wudu.
Also, after capturing Wei Congyun, who should we hand him over to?"
It shouldn't be difficult to convince King Wudu, after all, he is just worried about the "handle", rather than really being on good terms with Wei Congyun.
The latter question is a bit tricky and must be considered carefully.
Xin Luo was most afraid of thinking about this kind of trouble and said, "I listen to my sister in everything."
Xin Zhi said helplessly: "You really haven't changed at all... Well, this is what I think. If we successfully capture Wei Congyun, we will send him to the two young masters of the Huan family."
"Why not send it directly to Wei Xian and His Majesty?"
Xin Luo was a little unwilling.
Although Wei Congyun's value cannot be compared with that of King Yong, the sisters can live a stable life in Wei Jing by virtue of their achievements in capturing him.
If it were left to the Huan brothers, what would happen to them?
Xin Zhi smiled and said: "The branches and leaves that are too high should be left to those who can reach them. We are lucky to be able to catch a smooth sailing boat back to Wei."
"Okay." Xin Luo stood up: "Then I will go find the prince."
Zhuge Yue readily agreed to her proposal.
He wasn't familiar with Xin Zhi, but he could tell that she was smarter and calmer than Xin Luo.
It is definitely more suitable for her to deal with Wei Congyun than Xin Luo.
but……
Zhuge Yue frowned and said, "Are you sisters really not from King Yong?"
Xin Luo said: "What did the prince say? King Yong was a traitor in the Wei Dynasty, and our Xin family is loyal to your majesty."
Zhuge Yue said: "I have several masters under my command, so it shouldn't be difficult to capture Wei Congyun.
But after capturing him, where should he be sent?"
The only thing he was interested in was the edict, and he didn't have to get it.
Anyway, he is not the one sitting on the throne. As long as that old guy King Yong dies, King Jianping and his brother can fight as much as they like.
Of course, Wei Congyun couldn't catch a fight in vain, he had to reap some benefits and add some protection to his safety for the rest of his life.
Xin Luo said: "I am a woman, how can I make the decision for you in such a matter?"
What my sister said before makes sense. It's not always a good thing to be too smart if you show off when it's time to show off.
Zhuge Yue really liked her answer and said with a smile: "I am hosting a banquet in your yard tonight to calm your sister's shock and express my gratitude."
※※※※
King Yong likes to scheme against others most in his life.
But the appearance of Xin Zhi completely failed his plan this time.
Three days later, Wei Congyun arrived at the study room on that day on time.
Xin Zhi, who had been carefully dressed up, was sitting beside Zhuge Yue, looking extremely beautiful, dignified and generous.
Even Wei Congyun, an outsider, felt that she was more than enough to be a princess, and it was really unfair to be a concubine.
After saluting and saying hello, Zhuge Yue whispered a few instructions to Xin Zhi and left, even not forgetting to close the door.
Wei Congyun thought to himself, that day he clearly didn't feel that Zhuge Yue cared much about Xin Luo, but now it seems that the two of them are quite close.
He hugged Xin Zhi and said, "How is Mrs. Xin doing well?"
Xin Zhi smiled and said: "With the great power of the Wei Dynasty, the prince will naturally have to show some face. Everything is fine with my wife in the prince's palace.
It’s just that the young master and I have never met before, so I don’t know why we have to have this meeting?”
Wei Congyun also smiled and said: "Everyone knows some things well, and it would be pointless for Madam to keep pretending.
The Xin family has a deep connection with King Yong, and even though Madam is young, she knows some things."
Xin Zhi secretly clenched her fist.
She really didn't know everything about the things between the Xin family and King Yong.
And she was sure that she didn't know the things Wei Congyun was referring to.
