Seventh Master Wangye's attitude was very firm.
He would rather die than say anything.
Even when he was threatened, he gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
After all, he was already prepared to die when he was at Rongguo Mansion.
But after seeing Prince Shan's body, his attitude changed quickly.
It was so fast that it caught him off guard.
This change in attitude shouldn't be due to fear, because he wasn't afraid of death at all. It was impossible for him to compromise out of fear after seeing his brother's body.
Because there was no fear on his face.
He said, "I have something to tell you, and only you."
In other words, he wanted all the irrelevant people to leave.
Things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, and Jia Shidao was very happy. As for the avoidance of irrelevant people, he didn't think it was a big deal at all. After all, it should be very important news. Wang Qi didn't know his brother's identity, so naturally, he would only tell his father.
But what did it matter?
He didn't know his elder brother's identity, but his father knew. After his father heard it, he could immediately pass it on to his elder brother, and his elder brother could tell me. This was no different from telling everyone. It was just a little more troublesome.
That was what Jia Shidao thought.
After all, he was kept in the dark. He didn't know that the two men closest to him in this world were wary and even hostile to each other. He was the only one who was kept in the dark.
After hearing this, Sun Lang and Jia Xu's hearts skipped a beat.
They shouted in their hearts at the same time.
It's here!
Wang Zishan had been told the important news in advance and had a special mission. Since Wang Zishan was like this, Seventh Master Wangye might have a similar mission.
No, from the looks of it now, that was for sure.
It was here.
Sun Lang sneered silently in his heart.
There was a second round?
This had been planned for a long time.
Jia Xu's heart raced.
Sun Lang only sneered in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel nervous.
If this was also the arrangement of the mastermind behind the scenes, then it was easy to imagine what the other party would say.
But fortunately, the worst thing didn't happen. At least the other party knew that he was the only one who heard it. It was better than blindly shouting, "Prince, you've delivered my kind words, right? Your nephew is a fake. Let's discuss how to deal with him!" or something along the lines of death.
He glanced at Sun Lang without batting an eyelid and gave him a meaningful look.
If that was the case, then it was fine.
This brat still hasn't realized that he's been exposed. He's still putting on an act. Just now, he even joked with me so casually. This means that he's still in the act and treats me as his uncle. So, calm down, calm down, don't reveal any flaws.
This was a very small matter. Even if I was the only one who heard it, I could pass it on to him later. I was his uncle, and I was on the same boat as him. He trusted me, and he wouldn't suspect me. This was a very small matter.
That was it.
Sun Lang nodded slightly.
He planned to send me away. But that was normal. This was a completely reasonable choice. I was only acting as an interrogator. There was no reason for me to stay. He could reasonably give me orders.
And I didn't have to stay because we were family. He was my uncle, and I trusted him. This was a small matter. After he heard it, he could pass it on to me later.
This was a small matter.
It should have been like this.
But … Wang Zishan had already revealed a secret to him, and he was already suspicious. What could Wang Qi say to him?
He didn't know, but he could foresee that if it was a sensitive topic, Jia Xu would definitely hide something.
Sun Lang's mind raced, and he thought of many things in an instant.
How should he deal with this situation?
The simplest way was to take off her mask and say that she was Jia Ying. As the successor of the Rongguo Mansion and the former marshal of the imperial court, she could ask the Seventh Master in this way, and she would be able to stay.
But then what?
Wang Qi's move was nothing more than the mastermind's second round of sowing discord. The most disgusting part of this plan was that it could change unpredictably. No matter how it changed, it would achieve its goal.
It was simple to reveal his identity and stay, but would he be able to obtain useful information?
Not necessarily. If it was really related to the secret of Jia Ying's identity, then there would be no turning back between him and Jia Xu. Moreover, who could guarantee that the information Wang Qi passed on would be useful?
It might be an insignificant matter that would cause him to reveal his identity.
Not only that, it would also arouse Jia Xu's suspicion.
You should have left first, and I could have passed it on to you after I heard it. Why did you have to reveal your identity and stay here to listen to it personally?
What do you mean?
You don't trust me?
Why do you suspect me?
Damn it, you must know that I know about it.
Sowing discord … Regardless of whether it was real or fake, it would achieve its goal.
Then there was no other way.
He could only leave first.
But …
Until now, Sun Lang still couldn't figure out what was going on.
What was the other party trying to do?
Whether it was sowing discord or framing the Rongguo Mansion, what was their goal?
Didn't they know that I could flip the table whenever I was unhappy?
Sun Lang pondered.
No matter what, let's leave it at that … Thus, meeting Jia Xu's gaze, Sun Lang nodded slightly.
Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief. In his eyes, Sun Lang nodded without any hesitation. This meant that he was indeed kept in the dark.
That was good.
He said, "Then, you two can leave first."
Jia Shidao and Sun Lang bowed at the same time. "Yes."
Jia Shidao habitually waited for Sun Lang to go first, but when he saw his brother waiting with his head lowered, he quickly reacted and said, "Let's go."
Thus, Sun Lang followed Jia Shidao and left.
Watching the two of them leave, Jia Xu saw what had just happened. In terms of meticulousness and intelligence, Sun Lang was obviously much better than Jia Shidao, not to mention martial arts and military strategy. Why wasn't such an unparalleled person from the Jia family?
Then who was he?
However, he vaguely felt that at this point, he might not be far from the truth.
Jia Shidao and Sun Lang left the dark dungeon through the passage. Jia Shidao's stern face finally relaxed. He chuckled and pointed at Sun Lang. "Brother, you really pissed Dad off just now. Haha, Dad's reputation was almost ruined by you …"
He was talking about how Sun Lang and Jia Xu had hurt each other in the dark dungeon just now.
As someone who had been by his brother's side during the war, Jia Shidao had long expected Sun Lang's combat power and ability to cause trouble. In this regard, his father couldn't catch up with his brother, so it was reasonable that he was at a disadvantage. However, as he spoke, he felt strange. "Speaking of which, it's strange. Why did Dad joke about you?
He's not the kind of person who likes to show off. "
Sun Lang sneered inwardly.
Of course, his mentality had changed. Once there was a seed of suspicion, no matter how much he restrained himself, he would involuntarily show hostility. This was the so-called "one's body is upright".
However, he said something else, "It seems that Eldest Uncle's anger hasn't subsided yet."
Jia Shidao shook his head and turned to look at the entrance of the dark dungeon. "What's so mysterious that he has to only tell Dad? I hope it's something good …"
Sun Lang smiled.
Only for Jia Xu to hear?
It was indeed a good idea. The second round of sowing discord would make people more distant and wary. Gradually, trust would disappear, and Jia Xu and I would gradually drift apart with our own thoughts.
Tu Su, Tu Su, Tu Su, Tu Su.
Do you think I can't do anything if you use this method to lure me away?
The dark dungeon was built in the ground, made of bricks and stones. It was of the earth and metal element, so sound would be reflected.
Sun Lang stood in front of the dark dungeon, calling the earth spirit and the metal spirit. He focused his hearing and Divine Sense, isolating the noise and deepening his senses. Thus, his ears and eyes slowly extended.
Until he heard Jia Xu's calm voice in the dark dungeon.
"What do you want to tell me?
Why do you have to tell me alone? Why are you so mysterious? "Duke Ning said lightly." Where do we start?
Is it the Wang family's predicament or Wang Wangxing's secret? "
Hearing this, Sun Lang praised in his heart. Smart people should be like this. No matter what, they should keep their mouths shut. Even if there were no outsiders around, they should not say anything that they should not say.
The next moment, Seventh Master Wang answered.
He said, "No, I don't plan to tell you this. I was told in advance that if Wang Wangxing commits suicide, please dismiss the unrelated people …"
Jia Xu asked, "Whose order?"
"I can't say. It's meaningless even if I do." Seventh Master Wang's voice was filled with fatigue and powerlessness.
Jia Xu's voice wavered a little. "Alright, what message did that person ask you to pass?"
Seventh Master Wang answered, "Nothing, it's a letter. There's a letter in the inner compartment of my belt. Open it and take a look, I don't know what's inside. Take note, the letter is made of a special material. Once it's opened, it will quickly combust. You'd better read it quickly."
Hearing this, Sun Lang's confident expression froze.
He took a deep breath and clenched his fist.
As if it was an illusion, the ground within a radius of dozens of miles shook slightly.
How could he have predicted such a thing?
You even thought about this?
Alright, the wiser you are, the happier I'll be. I'll feel even more accomplished when I cut you into pieces!
Sun Lang closed his eyes, waves surging in his heart. He dispelled the impulse to force his way in and read the letter. There wasn't much meaning to it, so he shouldn't act rashly.
Jia Shidao seemed to notice Sun Lang's emotional change. He whispered, "What's wrong, brother?"
Sun Lang shook his head slightly and smiled. "Nothing. Wait for your father to come out."
The gloominess and murderous intent were all hidden under his smile.
He was already very proficient in doing this.
