Chapter 235: Reversal of the Situation
The so-called nemesis is a life-and-death battle.
Azhuoxin and Wen En looked at each other, and there was murderous intent burning in their eyes.
Faced with Azhuoxin's provocation, Wen En did not back down. He just smiled coldly and said one word.
"Come!"
Before the people in the melee could decide the winner, another group of people emerged from the Qian Gua passage, and they were so angry that they wanted to pick on the weak.
At this time, the advantage of Wen Wan and the others after cooperation was extremely obvious. They had more people, so others did not dare to take the initiative to attack them.
There were only two people around Meng Jin, and he didn't look like a martial artist, so he was immediately targeted.
Two burly men rushed towards Meng Jin, originally thinking that with their abilities they could easily take down such a weak man.
Unexpectedly, as the two men approached Meng Jin, their legs suddenly went weak and they fell to the ground.
Wen Wan and her group were close by, so they could see clearly that the expressions of the two men had become stupid, as if they were possessed by something.
"This is……"
Wen En's pupils shrank, as if he had thought of something, and said to Wen Wan, "The two young men beside Meng Jin are good at using poison."
A master of poison?
Wen Wan was surprised for a moment.
Although I don’t know how Winn figured it out, but since he was so sure, I think he must be right.
The two burly men were knocked down as soon as they met. This scene was enough to scare the others, and they gave up the idea of taking action against them.
It’s a pity for the two people who were very close to Meng Jin. Although they were quite skilled, they were attacked by others and were about to die tragically under the knife.
Wen Wan gritted her teeth and spoke quickly.
"Everyone stop!"
"The Azhuo family doesn't have any maps of the Duan Dynasty's military strength! From the beginning, they have been tricking everyone into joining the game!"
When Wen Wan said the four words "military map", everyone was shocked for a moment.
No one seemed to have thought that someone would actually say something directly.
The military map involves the country and the people.
Everyone knew it, but no one said the words "troop map" in public.
Those who came here today must be the forces of the major families in the imperial capital. Everyone pretends to be ignorant and pretends to be here to buy treasures. This is the politicians' self-deception.
As long as no one breaks this window paper, it will just be a fight for the treasure, and whoever gets it will be able to escape unscathed.
But once the window paper is broken, the families participating in this auction today will be labeled as having "impure motives".
The current emperor is very suspicious. If he finds out that someone is secretly fighting for this thing, it will probably bring disaster to the entire family.
There are people like Meng Jin who try to please the emperor in order to seize the map. It's okay to get it privately and then give it to him to seek credit.
But once the window paper was broken, even if he got the blueprints and sent them to the emperor, would he believe it?
It was simply that he couldn't bear to keep it in the public eye, so he handed it over reluctantly.
A slight error can lead to a huge mistake.
Prince Anding did not expect that Wen Wan would actually tear off the veil directly.
To be honest, he did not agree with such a reckless approach, because if he broke this window paper, he would become everyone's public enemy.
Only Wen En stood by Wen Wan's side unconditionally, holding his dagger tightly and keeping alert to his surroundings.
Everyone looked in Wen Wan's direction and saw that the person who spoke was a woman. Some people immediately sneered.
"What do you, a woman, know?"
"Don't talk nonsense and exaggerate. Your mouth is so annoying. I'm going to kill you first so that I can have peace of mind."
These people denied her words and rushed towards Wen Wan at the same time.
King Anding and Wen En both took a step forward. Even though they were outnumbered, they were not afraid at all.
Wen Wan's back was also covered in cold sweat. Her face turned pale, but she gritted her teeth and said calmly: "My Lord, En En, while they attack us, take off their masks!"
Upon hearing this, King Anding and Wen En were stunned at first, but then they understood what she meant.
Since you are going to break the window paper, just tear it into pieces.
In fact, this move was extremely risky for Wen Wan. If she didn't have confidence in King Anding and Wen En's kung fu, she would never dare to use this risky move.
Fortunately, neither King Anding nor Winn let her down.
When those people rushed over, they coordinated with each other on the left and right, one pretended to attack while the other took off his mask.
As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became very strange.
After the masks fell off, they were all acquaintances.
"Huh? Aren't you a guest of Lord Zhou's family? We met at the last tea party."
"Ah, so it's the second son of General Li's family. It's really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members don't recognize each other anymore."
"Master Wang, why did you come here in person?"
"Well, I heard someone was using the leaked military map as a pretext to scam people, so I came here to find out."
"I've also taken a risk to investigate. How could such a valuable map fall into the wrong hands? We must recover it for the court!"
"Hey, Lord Meng is here too. It seems we are all like-minded people who are loyal to our country."
"It's all because of this villain's cunning. With just a mask, we almost killed our comrades."
The group of people who were fighting fiercely before were greeting each other in the blink of an eye.
Everyone's statements were surprisingly consistent.
They are not here to steal the map.
They came here to investigate the truth on behalf of the imperial court. If there really was someone endangering the country and its people, they, as officials of the imperial court, would definitely punish the evildoers on behalf of the imperial court.
The reason for the title is so grand that there is nothing wrong with it.
Ashao slowly put down his sword with a bewildered look on his face, as if he couldn't believe that the originally chaotic situation was resolved like this?
In such a... special way.
"This, this...why am I getting more and more confused?"
King Anding took off his mask, and the admiration in his eyes could no longer be hidden. He explained the doubts to A Shao with a proud tone.
“It’s hard to say, but it’s also easy to say.”
"In the final analysis, the strong are respected. As long as I show my face, they will know that they can't kill me."
"At the same time, they knew each other's identities."
"You said... they couldn't kill everyone to silence them, and now that their identities have been discovered by others, they still dare to blatantly steal the map?"
Ashao changed his seat and thought about it, and actually felt that this was the truth.
Since we can't kill him, we can only pretend that everything is fine.
The two people who had been swearing and accusing Wen Wan before now bowed to Wen Wan with their fists clasped.
They lied with their eyes open, "It's a good thing the girl warned us, otherwise we would have made a big mistake today and accidentally killed our colleagues."
Manslaughter...
Wenwan's gaze passed over the two people and fell on the corpses lying on the ground.
She sighed and said nothing.
The chaos was broken, and there was nothing left for her to do.
Among those present, Prince Anding had the highest status. After years of experience in the court, although he looked down on these people in his heart, he also knew who he should deal with first at this moment.
He raised his hand and pointed at Azhuoxin in the distance, "Everyone, since we all have the same mind, we can't let the traitor escape. Otherwise, how can we explain this to the court?"
