Chapter 279 Xie Zan is Wei Gaoyang's dog
Xie Zan played with the glass wine cup and raised his eyebrows.
Xie Xuchi repeated, "Prove to me that you are still my person."
The candlelight flickered in the tent.
Wei Ying looked at the two men's backs expressionlessly, and the bronze dagger in his hand hammered into the table again and again. The thudding sound was inexplicably irritating.
Xie Zan suddenly stood up and brought a map.
He pointed at the map and said, "This is a narrow passage with impassable cliffs on both sides. The passage is so narrow that only one horse can pass through. Even turning around is difficult. Your Highness can arrange for secret guards to prepare huge rocks and crossbows on both sides of the cliffs. If Xie Guanlan passes by, they can kill him!"
Xie Xuchi didn't look at the map, he just looked at him.
Excitement appeared on the young man's charming face.
It seemed as if assassinating Xie Guanlan was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.
He reached out and pressed Xie Zan's shoulder. "A Zan loves Xie Shian very much. If Xie Shian were here, if he also died in Yixiantian, wouldn't you care?"
"Compared to the throne, what is Xie Shi'an?" Xie Zan smiled. "Your Highness, have you forgotten the oath you and I made? No matter the cost, we must sit on that throne. To this day, you and I have killed more than a hundred people, even court officials. Xie Shi'an is nothing more than that."
The young man's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked crazy, as if he was extremely obsessed with power.
Xie Xuchi looked at him quietly.
After a long pause, he said, "You are right. For the throne, everyone in the world can be sacrificed."
After Xie Xuchi left, the stagnant air in the tent seemed to begin to flow again.
Wei Ying watched Xie Zan cleaning up the messy floor and suddenly laughed.
She rarely smiled in front of others, but Xie Zan was an exception.
Her laughter was strange, filled with gloating. "You're going to find a way to inform Xie Guanlan again, aren't you?! Tell me, if I go to Xie Zhe and report you, will you end up being torn into pieces by five horses?!"
"You wouldn't," Xie Zan stuffed a crushed orange into her mouth, "You just wish someone would make things difficult for Xie Zhe. What's more -"
He moved closer to Wei Ying, reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up.
Wei Ying had just spit out the orange in anger when he suddenly kissed her lips—
A rare and gentle kiss.
Xie Zan stroked her chin, nudged his nose against hers, lowered his eyes and smiled at her, "Besides, am I not your prey, Wei Gaoyang? Are you willing to let others kill me?"
The young man's clothes were open, and the gold chain around his neck made his muscles look strong and beautiful.
His overly thick sword-like eyebrows gave his face a vigorous and wild look, and his broad and taut shoulder lines made him look like a nimble leopard ready to bite the tiny roe deer in front of him.
Wei Ying held the Buddha amulet on his gold chain.
It was a heavy golden Buddha amulet, on the back of which she had carved a few words with a dagger:
——Xie Zan is Wei Gaoyang’s dog.
It was carved a few years ago as a prank on him. I thought he would be angry, but surprisingly, not only was he not angry, he continued to wear it.
Wei Ying grabbed the Buddha amulet and forced Xie Zan to lower his head.
Her eyes were cold and gloomy. "Every story has an ending."
Xie Zan still smiled, "I hope that when we reach the end, your name and mine will still be engraved together."
Wei Ying gritted her teeth and kicked him viciously in the crotch.
The next day, the hunting competition officially began.
Xie Zhe had spread the word that whoever got the most prey could ask the emperor for mercy, so all the men who were skilled in archery and horse riding could not wait to ride their horses into the mountains. Some girls who had learned riding and shooting were even more capable than men and followed them into the dense forest.
Wei Si watched them go away and said with a smile, "Ningning, go play too."
Wen Xingluo nodded obediently.
Seeing the servants leading a small bay mare, Wen Yueyin rubbed her handkerchief and said sourly, "Sister, you only care about your own happiness and never care about my life or death. You know that I am weak and not good at riding or shooting, but you insist on riding in front of me. You are deliberately bullying me."
"Xingluo," Wen Ruyun said in a deep voice, "You can't be so selfish. You should be sitting here with your sister."
Wen Xingluo jumped onto the horse nimbly.
She looked down at the two of them. "When we were at the White Crane Academy, the teacher hired someone to teach us horseback riding, archery, and horseback riding. My sister didn't study hard herself, and ended up being useless. That's her own problem. Why should I be held responsible for her incompetence?"
After she said that, she pulled the reins and galloped towards the distant lake in a dashing manner.
"you--"
Wen Yueyin was furious and wanted to catch up and teach Wen Xingluo a lesson, but he was met with nothing but frustration.
Wen Ruyun was not in much better condition, her newly cut brocade robe was covered in dust.
He fanned away the dust and cursed like a machine gun: "Wen Xingluo, you disaster star, you don't care about this family at all! You ungrateful bitch—"
Wei Si suddenly threw the teacup heavily onto the flower table.
She glanced coldly at Wen Ruyun, "In the past, Wen Qingsong never properly disciplined you and only indulged you in your reckless behavior. Now that you are by my side, you should act like an older brother. From now on, you are not allowed to order Ningning around or beat her."
Wen Ruyun was stunned. She didn't expect Wei Si to speak up for Wen Xingluo.
He couldn't understand Wei Si.
It is incomprehensible that she disobeyed her father and remarried, it is incomprehensible that she liked a little ungrateful guy like Wen Xingluo, and it is even more incomprehensible that she refused to persuade the emperor to promote her to a high official position even after she was made a concubine.
As a result, the brothers and sisters were willing to take risks to seek wealth and fame, and even resorted to rebellion to seize power.
He clutched his folding fan tightly, met Wei Si's gaze with resentment, and said coldly, "A person who remarries has no right to order us around. Only the wife of the Wen family is worthy of being our mother!"
“Bang!”
Wei Si slapped him.
"Second brother!" Wen Yueyin was shocked. While checking the fingerprints on Wen Ruyun's cheek, he looked at Wei Si in disbelief, "Why did you hit my second brother?!"
"I don't want to be your mother." Wei Si stared into Wen Ruyun's eyes and told him word by word, "In this life, I am ashamed of Wen Qingsong and the Wen family! As for you, if you really think I'm unworthy of being your mother, you can write me a letter of severance, resign from your official position, return home and leave the capital!"
Wen Ruyun now works at the Grain and Food Bureau.
Although it is not a high-ranking position, it is still a lucrative job.
He covered his face and said bitterly, "My official position was earned for me by my elder brother. What does it have to do with you?! What right do you have to ask me to resign and return home?! Have you ever taken care of us since we were little?! All you know is crying and embarrassing us! You have no shame. Your father sent you to—"
"Bang!"
Someone suddenly grabbed Wen Ruyun's collar and punched him hard in the face!
Wen Yue let out a scream and looked carefully, only to find that the person who did it was actually Crown Prince Xie Xuchi!
Xie Xuchi came to deliver a reply letter to Wei Si.
But unexpectedly, I bumped into the scene in front of me.
He stared at Wen Ruyun coldly, as if he were looking at a dead dog. "If you dare to speak rudely to her again, I will pull out your tongue."
