"Forget it. I'm not used to the food in the Wei Kingdom. I can still hunt wild game when I wander around. Even if it doesn't taste good, I'll hunt it myself.”
Zhao Yu used a very tactful tone to reject Lord Xinling's invitation. Currently, none of the seven countries were a match for the Qin country.
He clearly knew that his cousin would unify the six kingdoms in the future, so why would he be so foolish as to get on the broken ship of another kingdom?
Lord Xinling, who was rejected by Zhao Yu, was not angry. He thought that Zhao Yu still had some pride in his heart and was unwilling to join another country.
"I was just saying that. Young Master just took it as a joke. However, I still have to remind Young Master that even hunting wild game has bad luck.”
"Lord Xinling, please rest assured. My hunting skills are not bad, and I won't starve myself.”
After a round of riddles, the two of them did not talk about other things. Instead, they chatted about everything.
Lord Xinling was knowledgeable and experienced, while Zhao Yu was a person from the future. He had learned many things, so he could chat with him on any topic.
This made Lord Xinling look at Zhao Yu in a different light. It seemed that other than his reputation, Zhao Yu himself was also of great value.
This conversation made Lord Xinling even more determined to keep Zhao Yu in Wei.
After a while, a person wearing a Confucian robe walked over. This person's appearance was ordinary and could not be considered handsome, but his entire person seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment.
In Zhao Yu's eyes, this person was clearly someone who did not know martial arts. Zhao Yu could not sense any aura of an expert from him.
This person was Xun Zi's junior brother, the current number one swordsman in the world, Wu Ming.
Seeing Wu Ming, Lord Xinling immediately stood up to welcome him and said jokingly,"
"You're finally willing to come out. If it wasn't for Chancellor Xun's letter, I might not even be able to see you.”
Wu Ming did not say anything. He only bowed to Lord Xinling and then came before Zhao Yu.
"Where is Senior Brother's letter?"
"This, Xun Zi reminded me that this letter can only be read when no one is around.”
After instructing Wu Ming, Zhao Yu took out a folded white scroll and handed it to Wu Ming.
Lord Xinling could tell that Zhao Yu wanted him to leave, so he tactfully left after saying goodbye.
After Lord Xinling left, Wu Ming also opened the white scroll to take a look.
There was nothing particularly important in this letter. It was just some casual conversation.
The reason why Zhao Yu sent Lord Xinling away was because he had something to discuss with Wu Ming.
After reading the letter, Wu Ming understood what Zhao Yu meant. He kept the white silk and turned around,
"This is not the place to talk. Follow me.”
Zhao Yu followed Wu Ming out of Lord Xinling's residence.
"Teacher!" As soon as he walked out of Lord Xinling's residence, Zhao Yu saw a little boy bowing respectfully to Wu Ming.
If Zhao Yu was not wrong, this Zheng Tai was the future Second Head of the Small Sage Manor, Yan Lu.
Wu Ming nodded slightly and pulled Yan Lu into the carriage. Zhao Yu followed closely behind.
After getting into the carriage, the little boy, Yan Lu, kept looking at Zhao Yu with a curious gaze, as if he was very interested in Zhao Yu's identity.
"What do you want to tell me?" The carriage began to move forward. Wu Ming did not waste any time and chose to get straight to the point.
"I have something I hope you can help with.”
"What is it?"
"Recently, the ministers of the Wei Kingdom have been assassinated one after another. You should know about this, right?”
"I've heard a little about it, but I don't care about the political affairs of the Wei Kingdom, so I don't know much. If you want to get any information from me, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.”
Wu Ming was in the Wei Kingdom, so he naturally had some understanding of the matters in the Wei Kingdom. However, with his personality, he would not pay too much attention to it.
"I have the means to inquire about information, so I won't look for you. I'm asking you to be my bodyguard for the short period of time I'm in Wei.”
Since he had already been targeted by the net, Zhao Yu had to make preparations.
With the existence of Wu Ming, who was the ceiling of combat power, with him around, Zhao Yu and Xuan Jian's negotiation could be further protected.
"Bodyguard, your enemy is the Network?”Wu Ming didn't know much about what had happened in Wei recently, but he had seen the bodies of the people who had been assassinated.
That kind of sword injury could only be caused by one of Yue Ba's eight swords, the Black-White Profound Jian.
The Yue Ba Sword had always been the weapon of the Network's first-class assassins.
Zhao Yu had previously mentioned the assassination of an official, and now he wanted him to be his bodyguard.
Wu Ming did not know how strong Zhao Yu was, but he could tell from Zhao Yu's breathing that his inner energy was as thick as an average Grandmaster's.
With such strength and a bodyguard, only the network would make him so cautious.
"That's right, the one who assassinated so many officials was the Black and White Profound Jian of the Network. I have something to discuss with him, but I'm afraid Wei Yong will interfere, so I need you to protect me temporarily. Of course, I will pay you enough for revenge.”
Wu Ming laughed and said,"
"Since you helped me deliver the letter, I won't take revenge. However, I'm still a little curious. If it was just ordinary gold and silver, then forget it.”
With Wu Ming's relationship with Lord Xinling, he could even empty Lord Xinling's private stash with just a word.
"I plan to use the Sage's Dao as a reward, but since you don't want it, then forget it.”
"What?"
In Wei Yong's residence, Black Brush Xuan Jian, who had already become Wei Yong's grandson-in-law, was currently sitting in his room listening to the report from the network.
"Zhao Yu has already come to Daliang, yet he has come into contact with Lord Xinling? Did he live in Lord Xinling's residence?”
After hearing his subordinate's report, Xuan Jian felt that this matter was somewhat troublesome.
Even though Wei Yong had used him to kill so many people, his prestige in Wei could not be compared to Lord Xinling's.
Lord Xinling was already on Wei Yong's assassination list, but he was delayed by Zhao Yu's unexpected interference.
If Lord Xinling was involved in this matter, it would be troublesome.
"Not yet, but I saw Zhao Yu and a scholar walk out and board the scholar's carriage. They have already returned to their residence.”
Xuan Jian heaved a sigh of relief. Not staying in Lord Xinling's residence meant that Zhao Yu did not come to an agreement with Lord Xinling.
"Let's observe for now. Don't act rashly before I give the order. This assassination plan must succeed in one go.”
