C276 A shadow in the sun

Looking at the scar on Wang Xuance's back, Wan'er felt a burst of panic.

As a little girl of about ten years of age, and also known for being open-minded and open-minded, she naturally did not care about the defense of men and women.

Thus, after seeing the scars on Wang Xuance's back, Wan'er asked in shock, "Uncle, these are …?"

"These things were all smoked by others when I was young. The purpose is to make me forget about those discoveries. " Wang Xuance said.

Wan-Er was surprised.

To make himself forget those things, to have someone whip him, to the point that he was covered in wounds?

What was this secret? Why was it so terrifying?

Wan-Er suddenly felt that there was a great danger behind it.

So she asked, "Uncle Wang, my husband is now a pageant guest. He could very well be in danger of doing the same. "Please tell me, uncle, what is the problem with the Master. I am deeply grateful."

As she spoke, she bowed deeply towards Wang Xuance.

Seeing Wan'er act this way, Wang Xuance waved his hand. His voice was somewhat shaky and weak. It was as though he still had some lingering fear from the past.

However, he still forced himself to say it, "Actually, this is not something that cannot be said. However, even if they did, no one would care. Thus, for a long period of time, I didn't pay much attention to it. It was just some weird talk from the government. Other than reminding the envoys from Luoyang to be more cautious, I have also never officially mentioned it to their people. "

With that, he grabbed the robe that had fallen to the ground and put it back on.

As he was dressing, he said, "When I first came to Chang'an, it was because the people of Chang'an could not keep secrets. In fact, in the feudal era, only the Qin Nation had the ability to mobilize and produce state secrets. "So I quickly figured out the functions of the three officials and nine officials of Chang An, the division of this country into the Guan Dong faction, the Guan Zhong faction, and the Guan Xi faction, as well as the grudge between this country and the Qin people. I also figured out that the country's academic mainstream is Taoism, not the Confucianism that other countries believe in, or the law that the Qin country believes in."

"But there is one place that is very troublesome. One of the spies I sent out was killed by them. I heard that he was already tied up in a sack and thrown into the river with a stone. Two people were severely injured. After they were rescued, they died before they could say anything. As for the remaining people, although they were slightly better, they had all gone mad. Only one person, after several months of insanity, suddenly returned to normal and told me that if the people who went there weren't insanity, it proved that they were good men. Those freaks didn't like good men. So they will kill good men. And the ones who are left are the people who have been driven mad by them. "

"And me? Even though I could still hold on, but with a little brain power, I still ran back to pretend to be crazy. But ah! I hope that in the future, Sir Wang will not pursue this matter with the pageant anymore. "

Wang Xuance repeated every single word of what the spy had said, and then he said, "That spy, after saying all these words to me, directly committed suicide by suicide. As for the reason, it's also probably because at the moment of his death, they tortured him to death, making him suffer a fate worse than death! "

As he spoke, the image of the spy dying appeared in his mind. His face was weak, struggling, twisting, malevolent, unwilling and other complex emotions.

"Then, what's the problem with this guest?" Wan-Er asked.

She knew that even though this Wang Xuance was only an envoy, her father had told her that it was only because Wang Xuance himself was of low birth.

However, his intelligence, courage, strength, and methods were all top-notch. If there was a suitable opportunity, his achievements would be no less than his own father's.

In truth, if one were to speak of it, how could an envoy of an exterminated nation like Wang Xuance be comparable to a palace poet?

Of course, at this moment, no one knew what sort of feat Wang Xuance had accomplished in another world.

As a result, even if Wang Xuance himself were to hear these words, he would only shake his head in denial.

However, this did not hinder Wan'er's trust in Wang Xuance's capabilities.

After all, in the eyes of this little girl, her father's knowledge was as great as that of Mister Xiao Wen.

As a result, he also believed that even though Wang Xuance was slightly weaker than his father and teacher, he was still one in a million.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's question, Wang Xuance let out a light sigh and said: "After I have investigated for a while, I have already found out their secret. However, just as I was about to leave, they let me take a kind of food that they usually take... Drugs. They want to turn me into someone like them. "

"And these drugs are?"

"They call it the Life Ointment. And I learned from other sources that some people call him by another name — opium! "

However, Wang Xuance and Wan-Er had learned about opium and told her that this drug was originally used to numb the body, to relieve pain. There wasn't much of a difference between the two, but taking too much of it would cause addiction, and it was difficult to stop.

Tell her that this stuff is made from a kind of poppy, and that most of these poppies are now grown in the country of Zhu. If possible, he hoped that he could make a trip to Tian Zhu in the future to personally destroy these Devil Flowers.

He told her that a large part of the opium came from the Song and Ming seafarers, and that the reason they possessed opium was because they had traded it with foreign merchants.

At the same time that Wang Xuance and Shangguan Wan'er were introducing these matters. Xiao Wen had already taken Sun Shangxiang, Yang Xiu, and the bus to the Guest Hall – after all, Wan'er had arrived earlier than Xiao Wen.

As they walked into the guest hall, Xiao Wen couldn't help to ask what was going on.

But at this moment, a large command slapped his hands together, and a servant walked out from a corner with a tray in his hands. As for the item on the plate, it was a black coloured object. It looked like peat.

Xiao Wen didn't realize what this thing was at first. All he could do was ask, "What is this grand decree?"

The official did not answer Xiao Wen's question directly. Instead, he revealed his motive and said: "Daxing Cheng, do you know that even though I, as a guest, am at the bottom of the Nine Mystical Palace, I am still trusted by His Majesty? What is the reason?"

"What is it?" Xiao Wen frowned as he followed the order.

As a matter of fact, Xiao Wen had already noticed the change in his demeanor the moment he had clapped his hands.

It was as if he had found something to rely on. Those feelings of inferiority, cowardice, and distortion disappeared in an instant and became filled with confidence, as if he had become a true superior.

Although he was still respectful towards Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen felt that his respect was more like a form of numbness and deception than worship.

He seemed to want to use this attitude to numb Xiao Wen and wait for him to fall into his trap.

At the same time, the order spoke out, "The reason why we are able to gain His Majesty's trust is because we have always been able to accomplish the duties that His Majesty has entrusted us with."

Hearing this, Xiao Wen became vigilant as he asked, "Then what is your job?"

Hearing this, the smile on his face became even more radiant.

He said, "Do you know that? Those small country emperors who came to visit us were all very respectful and obedient. That is the credit of my guest's teachings. "I, as a pawn, have a lot of ways to deal with people."

Hearing this, Xiao Wen couldn't help but frown.

He did not agree with this behavior, so he said: "Master, this is the official voice of the big man from abroad. To be able to master a guest was to master a major road and to master a place where war was inevitable. In Xiao Wen's eyes, you were like a general guarding the Corridor Pass. Instead of thinking about how to better guard it, you were thinking about how to grow a field on top of the city wall. "When I find out that the planting on the wall isn't good, I might as well destroy the wall and plant it on the ground."

"Young prefecture, Grand Slave Farmer, these Nine Supremes are in charge of the country. Moreover, they had the power to rule over the entire Darkhan Kingdom. But you, who control all the kingdoms and vassals of the burly man, can only play the game of training here. "From what I see, you are simply a vegetarian corpse in this position!"
