Chapter 79 This kid dares to control him!
“Bang—bang—bang!”
My heart was beating so fast it almost jumped out of my chest.
The man held his neck in his mouth, licking, sucking, and biting, making him feel limp and almost unable to think. Wen Xing's fair knuckles clenched fiercely on the edge of the couch, his body suddenly tensing as he struggled to stay awake.
What do you mean by deep love?
When did Ning Wujie start talking nonsense like this?
To whom? Isn't he Li Wenyan now?
What just happened kept echoing in my mind.
—Sir, you seduce me with your appearance, and you still ask why?
——In this life, you will never leave me.
When he was a tyrant ruler, he had been with Ning Wujie for so long, not to mention seducing him, he had done everything, but in the end he didn't even get a good word from him. On the contrary, he only received evaluations of "tyrant ruler", "shameless" and "disgusting".
Oh, and there’s also “playing around”.
We've only known each other for a few days, but he's already "deeply in love" with Li Wenyan?
What a joke!
But wait...
Based on his understanding of Ning Wujie's character, it doesn't seem surprising that such a person would have some liking for "Li Wenyan".
After all, "Li Wenyan" not only saved him, but also took the risk to help him steal the defense map.
No matter how you look at it, he's much better than the "tyrant" who used to "trick" him into submission and even brought him to this point, right?!
So this person repeatedly tried to control him and even kidnapped him?
Noticing that he was lost in thought, Ning Wujie stopped and looked up at him. "What's wrong?"
The hazy mist in Wen Xing's eyes gradually dissipated, and it took a while for his eyes to clear up. He stared at the person before him, and gradually, a nameless anger ignited between his brows, and his fists clenched.
How could he go back to the palace with this person? Dealing with this person was difficult enough, and he didn't even dare to think about how many eyes would be staring at him after returning to the palace.
If he is exposed then, all his previous efforts will be in vain!
Wen Xing was furious at the mere thought that he might have died in vain.
Not to mention if Ning Wujie finds out that "Li Wenyan" is the "tyrant" who harmed him so badly, how crazy will this kid go?
This guy can even break the dragon stone!
It was like cold water was poured over his head, and Wen Xing's brain became completely clear at that moment.
He pushed the person away and said in a cold voice, "I'm tired."
Seeing his sudden change of expression, Ning Wujie frowned slowly, "Are you angry?"
Wen Xing sneered softly, "If you are willing to return my things and let me go, I will naturally calm down."
Ning Wujie's eyes, which had been bright just now, suddenly became extremely dark. He stared at him gloomily, and said in a hoarse voice, "What if I don't return it?"
Wen Xing met that frightening gaze and understood the paranoia in the other person's eyes.
The Ning Wujie in his impression was clearly not like this.
Was it because he forced people to become traitors who usurped the throne and made them bear the curse of the world, that this is what happened?
The tip of my heart was gouged.
He gritted his teeth and said with determination, "Even if you don't return it, I will not go back to the palace with you. Please don't force me."
As he spoke, he turned his back to Ning Wujie and said, "I'm going to sleep now. Please do as you please, young master."
Ning Wujie slowly stood up and stared at the man's back with an extremely gloomy expression.
As heartless as ever!
*
They traveled for a whole day and stopped outside a city gate at dawn the next day.
Suixing rode forward and knocked on the carriage, "Master, we've arrived at Tanping."
The curtains were lifted, and Ning Wujie made a gesture to keep quiet.
Ning Wujie covered the sleeping person on the narrow couch with a thin blanket and walked out of the car. He walked a distance away, making sure that he would not disturb the people in the car, and then waved to Suixing.
Suixing dismounted, walked quickly up to him and said, "It was indeed Xinghe who was at the post station just now. Our people have caught up with him." He glanced at the carriage as he spoke.
Xinghe appeared at the post station, so this person is most likely the "late emperor".
Jupiter is creepy.
So their master recognized His Majesty by just glancing at him through the carriage curtain in the street.
This is even more incredible than their master's recognition that the corpse was not the late emperor by just touching his wrist bones in the imperial mausoleum...
Ning Wujie hummed, "Don't alert the enemy. Wait until he contacts Tingchaoyuan." His eyes sharpened as he spoke, "Then we can follow the clues to find out."
He has confiscated Wen Xing's box. If the other party does not want to be exposed and is unwilling to be controlled by him, he will definitely let Xinghe contact the person behind the scenes again.
Based on his understanding of His Majesty, he would never be willing to be controlled by him.
Suixing nodded and continued, "We just received news that the troops that were supposed to support Prince Xiang have been intercepted by our men. Although Prince Xiang's men were silenced by us, the news of his disappearance cannot be concealed. Soon, all major towns will be under martial law and undergo inspections. Tanping is a must-pass route, and we don't know if the garrison has learned of Prince Xiang's disappearance. If they start an investigation..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the rear of the procession, which was carrying the carriage of Prince Xiang.
With this guy around, they can't withstand investigation.
Although they avoided towns along the way, Tanping was the gateway to Qianchuan and they had to go through it.
Ning Wujie pondered for a moment, then walked towards Prince Xiang. "Send a letter to General Zhao in Tanping City, saying that Prince Xiang was seriously injured in an ambush by Ning Wujie's men and has fled here. Instruct General Zhao Qing to lead the civil and military officials to meet him immediately."
Suixing was stunned at first when he heard this, but then he guessed what Ning Wujie was going to do next, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Tanping is the most important border pass in southern Yunnan. If we can capture it...
Tsk, he is worthy of being their master!
Arrogant!
Ning Wujie walked up to King Xiang, looked him over, and then reached out and took off the dragon-patterned jade pendant from King Xiang's waist.
Prince Xiang's hands were tied, and he was being held by two shadow guards, unable to move. He could only shout in alarm, "Ning Wujie, what are you doing?!"
Ning Wujie lowered his eyes to glance at the jade pendant, then handed it to Suixing, "Put it in the letter and send it on."
Suixing nodded, took the jade pendant, then mounted his horse and rode away.
Prince Xiang's eyes flickered, as if he had guessed Ning Wujie's intentions. He said coldly, "It's useless. News of my disappearance will spread quickly throughout southern Yunnan, and General Zhao will also be aware of it. Even if your men can sneak into the city with a letter, they're doomed to fail."
Ning Wujie ignored his words and suddenly changed the subject, "I'm curious why you came here in person to get Li Wenyan."
He raised his eyes and scanned King Xiang's face sharply, as if trying to catch something from his expression.
"Even if all this was my plan, I can't guarantee you'll show up."
"I heard that you have always treated him with great respect, so why did you suddenly show such ruthlessness this time and want to kill him?"
Then the King of Xiang's eyes flickered, and he said coldly, "He betrayed me, doesn't he deserve to die?"
"Is there something about him that worries you and makes you want to see him die?"
King Xiang's expression remained calm, but a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.
Ning Wujie keenly caught this expression, slowly narrowed his eyes, and sneered: "No problem, I can go ask him."
As he turned to leave, he heard King Xiang say anxiously, "Wait!"
Ning Wujie paused slightly.
King Xiang closed his eyes and said, "What do you mean by saying this? Just tell me straight."
Ning Wujie's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.
"Zhao Qing will open the city to welcome you later. Please, Prince Xiang, please make sure you act like it."
*
In the meeting hall, dozens of civil and military officials knelt on the ground, already tied up. The leader looked up at King Xiang on the high throne, his face filled with shock. "Your Highness, what does this mean?"
"We received your seal and opened the city to welcome you. Why did you capture us?"
King Xiang sat in the host seat at the top, his face looking extremely ugly. The tip of the knife of the shadow guard behind him was pointing directly at his back. If he said a wrong word, the tip of the knife would pierce his heart.
Ning Wujie stood beside him, his expression unchanged as he said, "From today on, all defense of Tanping City will be taken over by His Highness's personal guards."
As he spoke, he glanced at the leader at the bottom of the stairs and said, "General Zhao, please hand over the military token."
Zhao Qing's eyes widened in disbelief. "Your Highness! What crime have we committed to deserve our military tokens?"
Prince Xiang stared at Ning Wujie, who was pretending to be his attendant, unwillingly. Suppressing his voice so only the two of them could hear, he gritted his teeth and said, "You only said you wanted me to take you into the city! You didn't mention this!"
Ning Wujie just glanced at him coldly, and the tip of the knife behind him moved another inch forward. A strong sense of pain came over him, and King Xiang dared not say anything. He could only endure it again and again and shut his mouth.
Ning Wujie said coldly, "You failed to guard the gates of southern Yunnan, allowing Ning Wujie's soldiers to disguise themselves as white-clad soldiers and sneak into southern Yunnan to attack His Highness. Your crimes are unforgivable and you must all be dismissed and investigated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly, and amid the cries of injustice from the officials below the stairs, a group of guards stepped forward and subdued all the civil and military officials.
After the officials were taken away, he glanced at Prince Xiang and said to the guards, "Imprison him in the guest room and keep him under strict guard."
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked out the door.
King Xiang's angry voice came from behind: "Ning Wujie! Don't think you can capture Tanping with just your few men! Wishful thinking!"
Ning Wujie said without even turning his head: "Shut him up!"
Then there was a burst of sobbing and groaning, and King Xiang could not utter another word.
Ning Wujie walked towards Wen Xing's courtyard. As soon as he reached the courtyard, he heard someone inside the door say, "Let me out."
The shadow guard stopped him and said, "Sir, the master said that Tanping has just been recaptured and things are not peaceful outside. It is safer for you to stay indoors."
Wen Xing shouted angrily: "He dares to put me under house arrest?!"
The shadow guard was helpless: "Sir, this is the master's order, and I..."
"Zhenxing." Ning Wujie said.
The shadow guard turned around and when he saw Ning Wujie, he quickly bowed and made way.
Wen Xing saw the person coming, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Sir, do you treat me as a prisoner? I can't even leave the door?"
Ning Wujie felt his heart soften at the sight of him fuming. However, when he thought of how he had tried to escape time and time again, his expression turned cold. "If I let you go out freely, I'm afraid you'll find someone else to help you escape."
Wen Xing was stunned, "Whose hand did I borrow?"
Ning Wujie looked at him gravely, "Didn't you try to escape yesterday by using the hand of King Xiang?"
Wen Xing remembered that he had lied to Ning Wujie yesterday, saying that King Xiang's men were here to rescue him, and asked Ning Wujie to let him go.
But......
No, why is this person turning the tables?
Wen Xing secretly clenched his fists and refuted: "I am not your property, I have my freedom to go wherever I want!"
Ning Wujie saw that he was furious, his brows furrowed in anger. He couldn't help but sigh. He spread out his palm, revealing two glass beads, "Sir, if you are willing to stay in the house obediently, I will give you these two. How about it?"
Wen Xing stared at the two beads in the other's palm, and when he looked at Ning Wujie again, the anger in his eyes became even stronger.
This kid dares to control him!
He stared at Ning Wujie for a long while, and finally snatched the two beads away fiercely. Then he turned around in anger and slammed the door, locking Ning Wujie and the shadow guard outside.
Zhenxing:......
Zhen Xing buried his head in his waistband, not daring to look at Ning Wujie's expression.
This gentleman is probably the only one in the world who dares to slam the door and turn his face against their master, right?
Ning Wujie stared at the door with a gloomy expression. In the end, he didn't push it open and walked in. Instead, he instructed Zhen Xing, "Keep an eye on him. Give him whatever he wants, but if he shouts about leaving again, come and tell me first."
Zhenxing lowered his head: "Yes!"
*
Recently, Ning Wujie had been busy replacing the soldiers at Tanping City's key sentry towers and arsenal with his own troops, and had also sealed off all of Tanping City's external access. Wen Xing wanted to leave, but for a moment, he couldn't.
There were shadow guards guarding outside, so even Xinghe didn't dare to show up.
That night, Wen Xing lay in bed, tossing and turning in anger. He couldn't fall asleep until late at night.
After an unknown amount of time, a dull humming sound suddenly came from outside the door, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Wen Xing pricked up his ears alertly.
Then, there was a slight prying sound from the door bolt.
Wen Xing's heart was filled with alarm. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the candlestick and quickly hid behind the door.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
He was quick-eyed and quick-handed. The moment the person came in, he raised the candlestick high and was about to smash it down, but his wrist was clamped by a force from behind. The hand twisted it back and pressed him hard against the wall.
Wen Xing felt a chill run down his spine, and he turned around abruptly, only to be met with the sinister face of King Xiang. Behind him stood several men in black.
Moving his gaze downward, he suddenly saw Zhenxing collapsed beside the door frame, his life or death unknown.
Wen Xing's heart skipped a beat.
Someone rescued King Xiang.
Who could have breached the Supervisory Office's defenses? Where was Ning Wujie? Was he in danger?
King Xiang sneered sinisterly, "I hope you are well, sir." He waved his hand and gave a cold order, "Kill him."
Hearing the sound of a blade being unsheathed, Wen Xing quickly thought of a solution: "Wait!"
"I can help Your Highness deal with Ning Wujie."
Prince Xiang sneered: "Li Wenyan, you have already deceived me once."
Wen Xing was pressed against the wall. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "I did not deceive Your Highness, nor did I defect. I was also abducted by Ning Wujie. Didn't Your Highness also see the shadow guards guarding me at the door?"
Prince Xiang glanced suspiciously at the fallen Zhen Xing and said coldly, "Whether he is protecting you or keeping you in custody, I will make the final decision."
Seeing the blade approaching, Wen Xing said anxiously, "Your Highness, why don't you give it a try? If I can't keep my promise, you can kill me at any time."
King Xiang narrowed his eyes suspiciously, as if he was weighing something.
Seeing his expression soften, Wen Xing continued, "Your Highness, can you truly accept the loss of such an important border town like Tanping? Only by killing Ning Wujie can we recapture Tanping without bloodshed."
Hearing this, King Xiang's eyes turned, and after a moment's hesitation, he finally raised his hand to signal his subordinates to let him go, and said sternly: "I will give you one last chance, otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death."
Having survived, Wen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
He calmed his turbulent heartbeat, straightened his torn clothes, and then looked up at Prince Xiang with a calm face, "I was just worried about not being able to escape. Thank you in advance, Your Highness."
