Chapter 88 Negotiating Terms with Lord Dog
"My Lord, you are really good at shirking responsibility. Zixia is not his biological sister, so how could he kill someone for her? Please don't frame others in order to clear your own crimes." Yun Wansheng was determined not to let him prove his innocence.
"Yun Wansheng, why do you believe the words of a lowly slave? We have a certain understanding of the matter. Why do you insist that I am the murderer?" Mu Xingci looked at the stubborn woman angrily.
"Mu Xingci, it is because I know you well that I have concluded that you are the murderer.
You have always focused on border defense. In order to have a chance of winning in future wars, you have been modifying important national defense equipment day and night. Now that a weapon that is sure to win has appeared, how can you give up so easily?
I tell you, even if you threaten me with my grandfather's life, I will not tell you about the pistol. You either let me go now or kill me immediately. Otherwise, I will fight you to the death."
Mu Xingci's handsome face darkened when he heard this: "Silly woman, do you really think I am someone who will do anything to achieve my goals?"
"Yes! Let me go quickly, otherwise I will die here." As he said that, Yun Wansheng picked up the dagger on the table and pointed it at his heart.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman who was determined to stop him with cold eyes. Instead of stepping forward to stop her, he turned around and left, ignoring her threat of death.
He didn't believe that she would make a fuss after he left. He knew his mistress very well.
Yun Wansheng would naturally not really commit suicide, but how could she continue to act once the person she was threatening left?
"Bastard!" Yun Wansheng angrily threw the dagger on the table and cursed.
Yun Wansheng couldn't sleep that night. She also had some unshirkable responsibility for Yun Dashan's death, which made her feel very guilty.
The dawn sunlight was covered with a layer of mist, and it was another cold morning.
After Yun Wansheng finished washing and dressing, she went to the west room, then lay down under the bed and lifted up a floor tile.
When the floor tiles were removed, a small iron box was revealed inside. Yun Wansheng took it out, took out a package from it, and then opened it, only to see that there were several pages of paper inside.
The paper was none other than the crossbow diagram she had drawn earlier.
The arrow that Mu Xingci drew had a range of only one thousand meters, but his own could be shot over three thousand meters away.
She had no other choice at the moment. The pistol was a modern weapon and must not be allowed to appear in this dynasty. But this crossbow was different. No matter how powerful it was, it came from ancient times and would not cause panic.
He read it carefully again, took out the last page, and then hid the other five pages back.
"I have no choice but to take a gamble now." He muttered to himself, then went to the main room and opened the door.
"Miss Yun, are you up?" Xiaoqing, who was waiting in the yard, stepped forward and greeted her.
"Well! Go to the general's mansion and ask the Marquis to come over. I have something to discuss with him." Yun Wansheng ordered.
"Yes! I'll go right away." After answering, she left the villa.
Yun Wansheng returned to her room and sat on a chair in front of the hall, waiting. When Xiaoqing came back, she reported that the Marquis had gone to the military camp again, which forced her to continue waiting patiently.
He waited until evening, when Mu Xingci finally came to the villa in the cold breeze of the sunset. As soon as he entered the house, he saw the woman sitting at the table looking at him.
"I heard that you were looking for me? Have you figured it out?" Mu Xingci walked forward with a slight smile on his lips and sat on the stool next to her.
"My Lord, how about we negotiate some terms?" Yun Wansheng said straight to the point.
"What conditions?"
"Take a look at this picture. If you think it's useless, just ignore what I said." Yun Wansheng handed him the picture on the table.
Mu Xingci took it casually. When he saw what it was, surprise flashed in his eyes: "This... is this a bed crossbow?"
"Hmm! This is the last step diagram. Can you see the difference, my lord?"
Mu Xingci looked at it carefully again: "Three thousand meters? Yun Wansheng, is the range annotated here really that powerful?"
"I calculated this diagram carefully. Each link was checked hundreds of times before I came up with it. I am very confident in this set of diagrams." Yun Wansheng said calmly.
"Since it's a set of pictures, why are you only showing me one?"
"If I let you see the whole thing, how can I negotiate terms with you?"
"What conditions?" Mu Xingci's good mood disappeared in the blink of an eye when he heard that.
"The condition for letting me go is that as long as you agree to let me go, I will give you the entire set of maps. What do you think?" Yun Wansheng said, facing the man's increasingly cold gaze.
"Yun Wansheng, you really never forget to leave me. Am I really that annoying to you?"
"Yes! I hate you terribly. I hate your arrogance, your aloofness, the way you look down on me, everything you say and do. I hate you so much that I don't want to see you. So, the only way between us is separation or death."
Mu Xingci looked at the woman in front of him who expressed her dislike without any concealment, which made him feel uncomfortable and angry.
"Yun Wansheng, am I so unbearable in your eyes? Don't you feel even a little bit grateful for my kindness to you?"
"If you treat me well, you won't look down on me. If you truly like me, you won't think I'm only worthy of being your concubine. If you truly treat me well, you won't refuse to apologize even though you know you're wrong. I, Yun Wansheng, don't value your condescending kindness."
Mu Xingci looked at the hostility in the woman's eyes, which contained no trace of affection. He wanted to deny what the woman said, but after thinking about it, he found that he did.
"Yun Wansheng, I will never look down on you again. I have seen your abilities. If I had known that you were not a woman who only seeks pleasure, I would never have looked down on you.
Can you please stop thinking about leaving? After I get married, I will take you to the general's mansion to be his concubine. What do you think?" Mu Xingci thought that this arrangement would satisfy the woman.
Yun Wansheng couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Mu Xingci, please don't let me think you are a complete bastard before I leave.
The concubine you think you are is nothing in my eyes. If I were to marry someone else in this life, I would marry a man who will be my only woman in this life. Obviously, you don't meet the requirements."
"Yun Wansheng, you are still as persistent as ever. I thought you had given up the idea of becoming the legal wife." Mu Xingci said in a slightly deep voice.
"My Lord, please don't misunderstand what I said. I didn't mean to be your wife. I'm so outstanding, there will be many people who can marry me in the future."
"Are you still thinking of marrying someone else? You're already my woman, I don't think any of them would dare to marry you? You're dreaming of leaving me!
Your crossbow diagram is in this room. Once I find it, I'll see what you can use to negotiate with me." After Mu Xingci finished speaking, he wanted to call someone in to search the room.
