Chapter 410 They are going to start lying!
The Wei family had been tricked by the small family once because of their clan name change, so they were almost the natural and most suitable candidates to look after the small family.
All the men in the tribe who were in their prime were placed in various corners of Changning Palace, responsible for "inviting" back the young guys who wanted to escape.
Despite this, their room was still located in a very remote corner.
It's very quiet and convenient for them to exchange information.
Wei Jianyun and Wei Xing spent the whole afternoon with the little guy. As soon as they returned, they were warmly "treated" by the whole family.
The meals sent from the palace were quite plentiful thanks to the special care of the young man, so everyone simply moved the tables and chairs to the small courtyard behind the house, where they had their meal together and talked about what they had seen and heard that day.
"How's it going?" Someone picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth, saying as he ate, "Are you convinced, little guy?"
Although they all accepted the favor after reviewing the whole incident with the elders of the tribe, and naturally had a good impression of this eccentric human cub, but...
It did not delay their love-hate relationship with this little guy who almost scared them to death.
——Making that little guy “surrender” has become their last obsession!
Wei Jianyun and Wei Xing looked at each other, then looked away guiltily.
When they came back to their senses from the thrilling revelation, they had already eaten most of the boy's biscuit without realizing it. Seeing the boy's unsatisfied expression, they were too grateful to say a single harsh word.
But this does not stop them from boasting in front of their unsuspecting tribesmen.
"Of course! You didn't see it. The little guy sobbed and apologized to the two of us," Wei Jianyun laughed, "That scene was so refreshing!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
The elder of the tribe confirmed with concern: "Did you not do anything?"
These two were well-known "hooligans" in the clan. Before the Wei family encountered trouble, they hung out with the younger members of the clan all day long and had no idea what courtesy was, which made several of them cry every day.
Wei Xing replied dryly: "How can that be possible? This little girl is the most favored princess of Emperor Mingze, and she lives in the Changning Palace of the Empress Dowager. I don't know how many secret guards are following her——"
The people around nodded, and then started chatting with each other.
"That actually was a princess. I still can't believe it to this day—"
"We all live in the palace now, how can this be false?!" Wei Jianyun actively participated in the topic, "What's more, we even met Emperor Mingze!"
Wei Xing caught Wei Jianyun's gaze and quickly followed: "That's not all!"
The truth-telling phase is over.
They're about to start telling lies!
He looked at everyone mysteriously and said, "Guess who else we saw today?"
"Who?!" Everyone slowed down their breathing unconsciously.
Wei Xing looked around like a thief and leaned forward: "The princess of Linyue Kingdom, Ye Sangning, Concubine Ning!"
“Wow!”
Several people gasped.
As people from Beiming, they are all very familiar with the name Ye Sangning.
After Bei Ming wiped out Linyue in one fell swoop, for a while, they all felt sorry for the innocent Ye family who were wiped out. Later, when they heard that they had a daughter who married Da Rui, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but pay more attention to Ye Sangning.
but--
"Isn't she crazy?!"
Wei Jianyun chuckled, his eyes full of admiration for Ye Sangning: "This girl is very strong, how could she go crazy so easily?!"
"What do you mean?!"
"Concubine Ning," Wei Xing reached out and poured himself a glass of warm water, "is just pretending to be crazy!"
"Pretending to be crazy?"
"What does she want?!"
"Why else?" Wei Jianyun moved closer to the crowd. "It is said that Concubine Ning has the half of the treasure map that Bei Ming has always wanted. She decided not to act crazy this time. She also wants to seek the help of Emperor Mingze to avenge Linyue!"
The expressions of everyone present were somewhat complicated.
In the past, when they encountered such a situation, they wanted to get busy immediately and create more powerful weapons for Beiming's soldiers. But now, with their identities changed, they and Beiming are left with only a blood feud.
After a while, the elder of the tribe asked seriously: "Are what you two said true?"
Wei Jianyun and Wei Xing looked at each other with firm eyes and said in unison: "Of course it's true!"
Anyway, this is what the little guy said!
…
It was past midnight and the surroundings were so quiet that only the gentle sound of the wind and the occasional snoring could be heard.
“Squeak—”
A crisp and subtle sound of a door opening was heard, and a figure sneaked out from the remote courtyard where the Wei family was temporarily staying.
His kung fu must be very good, because the sound of his footsteps hitting the ground was very light, sometimes hidden in the sound of wind and snoring, coming and going without a trace.
The figure walked out of the unusually quiet courtyard, looked around, and then walked quickly towards one of the paths.
The end point was the corner he had already chosen during the day.
He took out the letter, called the pigeon, and tied it to his leg.
The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, and in just a moment, the sound of flapping wings and his suppressed sneer rang out.
He raised his head and watched the carrier pigeon fly higher and higher, and the feeling of pride in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
He had outstanding talent in the field of government, and had been accustomed to the praise of his parents and elders, as well as the envy of his peers since he was a child. But unfortunately, that freak Wei Jianyun suddenly appeared and surpassed him. With his talent that is rare in a century, he was directly destined to be the next clan leader.
From then on, all the people who had originally surrounded him gathered around Wei Jianyun. The huge gap made him feel demonic. The moment the Beiming royal family proposed the intention of cooperation, he accepted the betrayal without any hesitation, which was of almost no benefit to him.
But he has no regrets.
While doing this, the pleasure in his heart was even greater than in the past, when he was still regarded as a genius by his tribesmen.
He raised the corners of his lips slowly, watching the carrier pigeon find its direction after a brief stop, spread its wings and slowly move towards Beiming.
Suddenly——
With a sound of "whoosh".
A long arrow shot towards the carrier pigeon from behind him at high speed. The carrier pigeon was unable to dodge and only struggled for two breaths before its wings stopped flapping and it fell straight down!
Then——
“Ka——”
Someone stepped over the dead branches scattered on the ground and slowly stood behind him.
"Wei Yuan."
The man called him in a low voice.
