Chapter 77: Stop Yuwen Yan
Hearing this, Qi Xiu withdrew his foot that had already stepped into the room. He looked at Shu Wan, and the contempt and defensiveness in his eyes were very obvious.
"Miss Shu, what's the matter?" He asked in a neither cold nor awkward manner.
"I'm sorry, my memory is not very good!" Shu Wan said as she moved closer to him. "May I ask what is your master's name?" she asked in a low voice.
Wen Bai, who had already walked into the room, had excellent hearing and heard these words, so he stood there calmly with a half-smile on his lips.
"My master's name is Yuwen Yan!"
Qi Xiu thought about it reflexively in his mind.
"My master's name is Wenbai." Qi Xiu remembered that Yuwen Yan had told Shu Wan that his pseudonym was Wenbai, so he answered like this.
"Oh, yes, it's Wen Bai!" Shu Wan said in an exaggerated tone, as if she had suddenly realized something. "Look at my memory. I was so busy chatting before that I forgot Mr. Wen's name. After this incident, I can't forget it even if I want to. I can't miss him even if I want to!" She spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Qi Xiu didn't bother to be polite with her anymore. He just nodded and turned to go into the house.
Shu Wan would no longer drag him to talk about useless things. The moment she turned around, the smile on her face fell in an instant, and her little face was as cold as ice.
Yu Jianning followed her without saying a word.
"Go ask the shopkeeper for two buckets of hot water. The young lady wants to take a bath." Yu Jianning sent Xiaoju away. "By the way, the young lady was just talking and didn't eat much. Go to the kitchen and get something to eat!" Afraid that Xiaoju would come back too soon, he assigned Xiaoju another errand.
"Yes, I obey your command." Xiaoju took the order and withdrew.
"What on earth is going on today?" After Xiaoju left, Yu Jianning walked to the door with extreme caution. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he asked Shu Wan anxiously.
"Do you know who this person is?" Shu Wan asked Yu Jianning. She didn't expect that it would be so easy to find Yu Wenyan.
"Who?" Yu Jianning shook his head honestly. He said, how could Shu Wan start to act like a spoiled brat for no reason.
"Yuwen Yan!" Shu Wan looked at Yu Jianning and spoke word by word.
"What?" Yu Jianning exclaimed uncontrollably, but soon realized that Yuwen Yan lived across the street from him, so he held back his voice. However, his eyes, which were as round and big as copper bells, and his mouth, which was wide open enough to fit an egg, all showed his disbelief. "How did you know?" He looked around like a thief, and then, regardless of etiquette, he sat directly next to Shu Wan and asked excitedly. In this excitement, there was also doubt and disbelief. How could Shu Wan know that this person was Yuwen Yan the first time she saw him? Could it be that she was making it up?
"They told me!" Shu Wan looked like, "Didn't you hear it?"
Yu Jianning clearly saw four words written on Shu Wan's face - "You are an idiot!" Yu Jianning was quite familiar with her lying with open eyes. During this journey, she would occasionally say something, and her explanation to him was always what others told him.
"That's what they told me." Shu Wan repeated it very sincerely. God is my witness, she really didn't lie.
Yu Jianning: Bullshit!
Do you think I'm deaf? I've been following you, but you lied with your eyes open. Don't you feel guilty?
She clearly told you that his name is Wenbai.
Wenbai!! Why are there such shameless people in the world? "What should we do next?" Yu Jianning asked Shu Wan with gritted teeth, resisting the urge to strangle him.
He had never thought that he would meet Yuwen Yan in Jinzhou, and he had not made any plans yet.
Yu Jianning himself did not realize that he had unknowingly regarded Shu Wan as his backbone.
"He wants to destroy the marriage between Beishuo and Chiyan. Our goal is to stop him!" The princess of Beishuo is marrying the prince of Chiyan. Since Yuwen Yan wants to destroy the marriage, it is obvious that the two are political enemies. Shu Wan feels that the enemy of his enemy can become a friend, so he can consider cooperating with the prince for the time being.
Of course, this is before considering the prince as a viable partner.
"Disrupt the marriage!" Yu Jianning pondered, "Why didn't he destroy it earlier or later? Instead, he came all the way to the border when the marriage team from Beishuo arrived at the border. How was he going to destroy this political marriage?" He couldn't understand why Yuwen Yan waited until now.
"It's very simple. He wants the princess to die on the border, and then put the blame on the crown prince or even Emperor Chi Yan, causing the relationship between the two countries to break down, and he will profit from it!" Yuwen Yan's purpose was so obvious that Shu Wan saw it at a glance.
"For his own selfish interests, he even did not hesitate to put the blame on his own country." Yu Jianning could not help but shake his head, "This Yuwen Yan is too cruel!" If Chi Yan suffered a great loss because of this, then even if Yuwen Yan became the crown prince and ascended the throne, wouldn't it be a loss?
"To hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of your own is indeed not a wise approach." Shu Wan agreed with him, "But what if his determination to seize the throne exceeds his feelings for this country!" She felt that this was the only reason why he was willing to do this even at the expense of his own country's interests.
"Then should we notify the prince and ask him to take measures?" Yu Jianning asked, "We are outnumbered now and may not be able to stop him." Yu Jianning could not let Shu Wan take risks rashly, otherwise, if Rong Chen came back one day, he would tear him to pieces.
Yes, that's it!
"This is also a solution, but we can't rely entirely on it. We also need to find a way to notify the Beishuo envoy and keep a close eye on Yuwen Yan's whereabouts!" Shu Wan decided to take a three-pronged approach.
"Okay, I will be responsible for finding a way to deliver the letter to Chiyan, and also check how many days it will take for the envoy from Beishuo to arrive." Yu Jianning felt that Shu Wan's method was the safest at the moment.
"Okay, I'll take charge of Yuwen Yan's side!" Shu Wan stood up, "I will definitely follow him closely... and the Qi Xiu beside him, and try to get their latest plan." Shu Wan felt tired when she thought that she couldn't hear what Yuwen Yan was thinking.
Fortunately, fortunately she could hear the thoughts of his follower. She hoped that Qi Xiu was his confidant and could send her more news!
"Then you must pay attention to safety! Don't act rashly," Yu Jianning was still a little worried, afraid that their plan would be known by Yuwen Yan, and they would be in danger, and then he would be the one to blame.
