Chapter 49 Enemies and Confidants
The visitor's angry expression and hurried footsteps made Ying Zifei's mouth curl up slightly.
With his strength, how could he not notice this guy hiding in the corner.
Mei Sanniang was very angry at this time. Her master's death made her very sad, but she was even more angry at Ying Zifei, who wanted to subdue her senior brother Dian Qing.
“Big Brother, don’t be fooled. He just wants to use you as a knife in Qin’s hand.”
Dian Qing looked at his angry junior sister, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
"Haha, as for practicing martial arts, I, Ying Zifei, am not bad either."
"We all know that with your master Zhu Hai's strength, if he hadn't been seeking death, how could Hei Bai Xuan Jian have killed him so easily?"
Ying Zifei said to Mei Sanniang calmly: "Your master is using this method to practice his loyalty to the State of Wei. In this way, he will finally fulfill Wei Wuji's plan."
"He knows very well that dying at the hands of Black and White Xuan Jian is better than having the King of Wei have someone give him the last dose of medicine and causing him to die of poisoning."
"At least, this way of death is not the worst way for him."
"It is different for a general to die at the hands of his enemies than at the hands of his own men."
Mei Sanniang opened her mouth to defend herself, but she didn't know how to say it. She was not stupid, so she naturally knew that what Ying Zifei said was actually what her master Zhu Hai was thinking.
Master Zhu Hai knew about the internal strife, she knew about it, and so did her senior brother Dian Qing.
"Don't even think about asking Senior Brother to leave with you, humph!"
Unable to find words to defend herself, Mei Sanniang simply acted helpless and looked at Dian Qing and said, "Big Brother, don't trust him. What he values is nothing more than your strength."
Dian Qing only looked at Ying Zifei, who chuckled and said, "Today's conversation is the second time we have met."
"After you have dealt with your master's affairs, we will have a talk. If I cannot convince you, I will not pester you any further."
As he spoke, Ying Zifei stood up, picked up the box containing the white jade horse, and looked at Mei Sanniang.
"In fact, I am also a despicable schemer in your master's death."
"Given our current positions, I don't want him to appear on the battlefield, because his strength will cause casualties to the Qin army."
"But I can tell you clearly that the farmer who has contacted your family in this matter is just as despicable and calculating as I am."
"The demise of the Pijia Sect was doomed after your master's death. The farmer who contacted you was only after the power of the Pijia Sect."
At this point, Ying Zifei ignored Mei Sanniang's panicked expression and turned his gaze to Dian Qing and said, "Your strength and talent will also be remembered by the farmers."
"I believe they will contact you soon and will use your feelings for your junior sister to try to convince you."
"This is a conversation. Just consider it as compensation for your long-term planning. After all, I don't do business at a loss."
After saying that, Ying Zifei walked away, saying as he walked: "Mei Sanniang, please tell the farmer who contacted you not to covet what Wei Wuji has, otherwise he will die miserably."
"By the way, remind him again not to try to challenge the bottom line of the Black Ice Platform, otherwise I will settle accounts with Tian Guang, the hero of the Farmers' Family."
Ying Zifei left, leaving Dian Qing and Mei Sanniang in silence. After a while, Mei Sanniang spoke.
"Brother, I agreed to contact the farmers because my master told me to do so."
Mei Sanniang explained, and continued: "Master said that if he gets into trouble, we should contact the farmers in the name of Xinling Jun and avoid the vortex of Wei State."
"I know," Dian Qing nodded, because his master had told him the same thing.
It turns out that there were already signs of the master's death!
At this time, Dian Qing just felt confused. He did not judge his master's choice because his master practiced his loyalty, loyalty to the beliefs and persistence in his heart.
But what about Dian Qing?
At this point, he was really confused about his future. …
Wei Wuji's men stopped Ying Zifei who was leaving the mansion and invited him to have a talk with their lord.
In the small shop on the street, the farm wine seemed to make Wei Wuji drunk faster. When Ying Zifei handed Wei Wuji the box containing the white jade horse, Wei Wuji was silent.
"It all started with me and ends with me, haha, interesting!"
Wei Wuji smiled and asked someone to pack up the box. The white jade horse should be buried in front of the grave of Fu Yun and his beloved.
"Ying Zifei, you won this round again." Wei Wuji poured the wine and said with a wry smile: "You never made a move in this round, but I lost miserably."
Picking up the wine glass and drinking it all, Ying Zifei looked at Wei Wuji and said: "You really lost miserably in this game."
"If you trust Zhu Hai's loyalty to you and to Wei, I think you will have no regrets when he dies."
Wei Wuji clenched his wine glass, stared at Ying Zifei and said, "The situation is like this, all I can do is try to avoid unexpected situations."
"Ying Zifei, you will be like me in the future. People like us will always be forced to stop trusting human nature."
After drinking the wine in the cup, Wei Wuji said leisurely: "I have thought about making Zhu Hai's ending less regrettable."
"But when I knew that the White Jade Horse fell into your hands and you had cracked its secret, I no longer had any hope of luck."
As he said this, he smiled bitterly and drank another glass of wine.
"If Zhu Hai dies on the battlefield, it is very likely that the fact that he was poisoned will be exposed."
"Ying Zifei, I trampled on Zhu Hai's loyalty and trust in me, but I don't want to leave room for others to manipulate."
"For people like us, any flaw that falls into our hands will be magnified and exploited infinitely."
Ying Zifei raised his eyebrows and pouted: "It seems that you don't believe in my promise so much."
"You are wrong," Wei Wuji shook his head and said seriously, "I, Wei Wuji, believe in your promise in front of Fu Yun's tomb."
"But in my opinion, since you, Ying Zifei, know about the White Jade Horse, it means that other forces will also know about it."
“I believe in you, Ying Zifei, but I don’t believe in other forces in Qin or even other forces.”
At this point, Wei Wuji said leisurely, and then changed the subject: "Ying Zifei, if you were in my situation, you would make the same decision as I did."
"Your love and vision for Qin is just like my protection for Wei."
"People like you and I, from an opposing perspective, are mortal enemies, but from the perspective of working for the country, you and I should be close friends."
After Wei Wuji finished speaking, he raised his glass to signal Ying Zifei, and they both drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.
"Tell me, after I die, will I be forgiven by those who were loyal to me and the State of Wei and whom I trampled on?"
There was a hint of pleading and confusion in the tone of Wei Wuji, who was drunk.
Ying Zifei stood up, bowed, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Wei Wuji.
"I do not know."
Ying Zifei shook his head and turned to walk away, saying, "But I am very sure of one thing."
"If you are pushing for Zhu Hai's death this time, if you can have a face-to-face conversation or write a letter."
"I think Zhu Hai will definitely cooperate with your plan and die bravely without any regrets."
