Chapter 666: Since I can’t control my ears, I cut them off
Wu Jun frowned, "Your Highness, don't you believe me?"
Before Wen Qi could speak, he immediately frowned and said, "As the saying goes, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people you don't trust.
Since Your Highness does not trust me, there is no need to embarrass yourself.
From today on, you and I, our king and subject, have parted ways. From now on, we will have a long journey together, and when we meet again, we will just pretend we have never met."
After saying this, Wu Jun turned and left.
As soon as he reached the door, he was blocked by long swords on the left and right.
He asked coldly, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Wen Qi sat up straight and said lazily, "Sir, why are you so anxious? I just said it casually. I don't want to really doubt you.
You've been with me for so long, how come you still can't take a joke?"
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled, "Sir, you should know my temper. If you were really suspicious, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me right now."
When Wu Jun heard this, he felt a sudden chill on his back.
He really became suspicious.
But where did he go wrong that aroused his suspicion?
Just as Wu Jun was reflecting on himself, he heard Qi laugh brightly and say, "Look at your expression, sir. If someone didn't know you, they would think you were going to break off all ties with me.
Fortunately, I was just joking with you, Mr. Tong, and you didn't take it seriously."
Meeting his smiling eyes, Wu Jun said coldly, "This kind of joke is not funny. Your Highness should not make it in the future."
Wen Qi smiled instead of getting angry, nodded and said, "I will remember your teachings, sir."
His sudden talkativeness made Wu Jun a little unsure whether he was really suspicious.
Even though he was one of the wisest people among ordinary people, he still couldn't see through it or guess it.
After all, a normal person can never guess what a madman will think or do next.
It is possible that they were brothers who had risked their lives together one moment, and became enemies who drew their swords against each other the next.
Seeing Wu Jun's cold face and the look of being unwilling to talk to him more, Wen Qi's smile couldn't help but fade a little.
He raised his hand, and someone came forward to take the letter from his hand and handed it to Wu Jun respectfully.
Wu Jun didn't even glance at it, let alone raise his hand to take it.
Wen Qi said with a smile: "Sir, don't be so quick to refuse. Why not open it and take a look at what's written inside.
Perhaps there is some news that you are concerned about."
Wu Jun's heart sank slightly, but he remained calm as he said, "This information was originally given to Your Highness. Just take a look at it."
Wen Qi smiled and shook his head, "Let's take a look, and give me some advice."
He lowered his eyes, toying with the jade ring on his thumb, and said quietly, "It's a pity that I'm not in the capital right now and can't respectfully see my father off to heaven."
Wu Jun said sternly, "Your Highness, it's better not to say such disrespectful words. Be careful, there are ears."
"What are you afraid of?" Wen Qi raised his eyebrows in amusement, looked Wu Jun up and down and said, "Since you have followed me, sir, you should learn to be braver.
If you can't even bear to hear a few words like this, if something really happens in the future, won't you faint from fear?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two guards waiting outside the door could not help but chuckle.
As an advisor to His Highness, I only have this much courage, but it is far from enough.
Hearing them laughing, Wen Qi also laughed, but there was a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.
Wu Jun moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing.
The next moment, Qi's voice was heard coldly saying, "Since you can't control your ears, just cut them off. That way you can have peace and quiet."
Outside, the sound of guards kneeling and begging for mercy was immediately heard, followed by screams.
After just a few breaths, there was no sound anymore.
Wen Qi took a deep breath, sniffing the faint smell of blood in the air, and said contentedly: "Finally, it's quiet."
Wu Jun lowered his eyes, bowed to him and said, "I'll take my leave."
"What's the hurry?" Wen Qi stopped him and said with a meaningful smile, "Since you have nothing to do, why not play a few games with me?"
As he ordered someone to bring the chessboard, he casually said, "Sir, you are well versed in the customs of Da'an. I imagine you are quite good at chess."
Wu Jun smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I only visited Andi once when I was young, so I am not familiar with it."
"Really?" Wen Qi asked with a smile, "With your talent, you would surely attract the Da'an nobles to vie for your favor. Is there no one who would catch your eye?"
When mentioning this, Wu Jun shook his head and said with a look of shame: "Your Highness, please don't make fun of me. I am still young and don't know the immensity of the world.
A few angry words offended the local dignitaries, and he had no choice but to return to Liangjing in disgrace.
Although this happened many years ago, it is not a rare thing. He can find out by asking someone.
Wen Qi smiled and said, “Everyone has been young and frivolous.
Now that person thinks about this, he must be regretting it to death."
His eyes suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "I really want to know who that person is who is so blind that he can't recognize Mount Tai."
Wu Jun said truthfully: "I only know that the man is dressed in luxurious clothes, not like an ordinary person.
Any more, I don’t know.”
Meeting Wen Qi's scrutinizing gaze, he chuckled and said, "If Your Highness wants to know who that person is, just send someone to find out.
It just so happens that I also want to know who the person who made me lose face that day was."
Hearing him say this, Wen Qi lost interest and changed the subject, saying, "I don't understand Da'an's chess skills. I hope you can teach me."
Wu Jun said politely, "Your Highness, you are too kind. I only know a few basics. Please don't laugh at me."

Song Yanxi sat at the table, listening to Mo Jinchuan's words, and her hand that was flipping through the medical book couldn't help but pause.
She raised her eyes, her clear eyes showing no trace of surprise. "Wen Qi is cunning and suspicious. He won't be fooled so easily."
Mo Jinchuan said: “From what Mr. Wu said, Wen Qi seems to be suspicious of him.
We won't risk meeting again in the short term."
Song Yanxi nodded and said, "Sir has done us a favor, and we really shouldn't let him take risks again and again.
However, Wen Qi has a bad temper and is bound to do something ridiculous like killing a hundred people by mistake and not letting any one go. It is necessary to secretly arrange people to pay attention to the movements of the post station.
If there is danger, you can rescue people in time."
Seeing Mo Jinchuan's lips slightly raised, Song Yanxi knew that he had already made the arrangements.
So, the two of them thought the same thing.
But since he had already made all the arrangements, why did he have to say this in front of her?
Song Yanxi lowered her eyes, staring at the obscure ancient prescriptions in the medical book, then raised her eyes and looked at Mo Jinchuan.
She frowned slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, are you deliberately trying to find something to say?"
Mo Jinchuan said frankly: "Yes."
He even said: "I thought I had covered it up well."
Song Yanxi said pertinently: "Your Highness is indeed a very good actor, but when you lie to others in the future, remember to keep a straight face to appear more serious."
When he smiled like that, he gave away the secret.
Even if she wanted to pretend she didn't know, she couldn't convince herself.
After all, it's too obvious.
Mo Jinchuan frowned, as if he had heard what was said.
Closing the medical book, Song Yanxi smiled and asked, "Your Highness, you haven't slept a wink all night. You went back to the palace and then hurried back. Don't you feel sleepy?"
Mo Jinchuan said: "It's just one day and one night, no problem."
In the past, it was common to go without sleep for three days and three nights during a march.
Now, I just don't have to sleep, I don't have to fight, and I don't have to hide from the enemy's searches. It's as easy as pie.
Song Yanxi frowned and was about to say something when she saw Mo Jinchuan suddenly frowned.
He stood up suddenly, his dark eyes showing a coldness, and said in a deep voice, "Just wait for me here, no need to come out."
After saying that, without waiting for Song Yanxi's response, he strode out.
