I made the villain right.
Chapter 150: A Secret That Is Hard to Tell
There were a few lines of fine handwriting on the note.
Throw out bait to lure the enemy into the game, set up a confusing formation and make the enemy fall into the trap.
The so-called lure point is to start from the reason why His Highness and Mr. Feng fell out, lower their vigilance, and then lure the enemy into the game.
The purpose of deliberately creating confusion is to fabricate a fact that is indistinguishable from the real thing, that is, Qianshuang Pavilion and Fengyu Pavilion have reached some kind of alliance in private, to create a crisis, disturb the enemy's mind, and thus divert the enemy's attention.
Remember that the information provided must be difficult to distinguish between true and false, so that Qin Yixian cannot see through it at a glance and can be verified afterwards.
Xu Wusheng's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes. He didn't expect that the strategy given by Shi Jin was exactly the same as theirs.
After reading the note, he immediately threw it into the brazier and burned it.
Afterwards, he sat down calmly and continued to enjoy the cakes. Looking at the cakes in his hand, his calm gaze gradually blurred, as if he was lost in some memories.
In the study room.
Feng Nanyi said: "If Qin Yixian wants to use this matter to embarrass Your Highness, the first thing Your Highness should do is to firmly state that you have nothing to do with this matter, and then put the responsibility on me. Secondly, we will stage a scene of antagonism so that Your Highness can get away with this matter with a legitimate reason."
Although Feng Nanyiyi intended to take all the responsibility, shirking responsibility is obviously a mean act. Xu Wusheng is an upright person and does not want to do so against his conscience.
"Wouldn't that put Mr. in the spotlight?"
Feng Nanyi didn't care at all when he heard that. He stared at Xu Wusheng firmly, as if he was placing great responsibility and expectations on Xu Wusheng: "To me, Your Highness is related to the future of Yi Dynasty. Your Highness cannot make any mistakes."
Feng Nanyi saw Xu Wusheng's uneasy look and continued, "Your Highness, don't worry. Qin Yixian and I have an irreconcilable hatred. Sooner or later, we will face each other with swords."
Feng Nanyiyi's words seemed to give Xu Wusheng a reassurance, allowing him to gradually let go of his worries.
His eyes turned slightly, his thoughts flying, thinking about something, he still had concerns in his heart.
"The traces of these actions are too obvious. Qin Yixian has always been suspicious. If he sees through this, how should we deal with it?"
Feng Nanyi pondered for a moment and said, "Then use another important matter to divert his attention."
Xu Wusheng didn't know what Feng Nanyi was up to, so he asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Mr. Feng?"
“My identity”
Feng Nanyi finished speaking and glanced at Xu Wusheng. "I have been with His Highness for many years. Although I have never revealed my identity, His Highness may have guessed that I am not just a counselor."
"I am the Pavilion Master of Qianshuang Pavilion."
Xu Wusheng showed surprise on his face. It was rumored that the leader of Qianshuang Pavilion was a mysterious figure. He seldom showed up in the world, and all matters outside the sect were handled by the deputy leader Mo Ruo.
He didn't expect that such a person would be willing to be his counselor.
"Sir, you are such a person. It is a waste of your talent to be a counselor by my side."
Feng Nanyi glanced at Xu Wusheng and said, "Your Highness has never suspected that my purpose in coming to your side is not pure."
Xu Wusheng met Feng Nanyi's gaze and responded positively, "I have doubted it, but the longer we get along, the more I find that you are sincere to me and have no intention of harming me. Just for this reason, I am willing to believe you."
Feng Nanyi saw Xu Silent's sincere answer and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I always stand on your side."
Xu Wusheng was stunned when he heard this, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.
The next moment, Feng Nanyiyi spoke to bring the topic back on track.
"Qianshuang Pavilion and Fengyun Pavilion are the two major forces that Qin Yixian has always wanted to conquer. If he knew that these two forces came to rescue Shi's father and son, he would definitely guess the connection between the two. In this way, his attention will not be focused on Your Highness..."
A chaotic sound of footsteps gradually came, bringing Xu Wusheng back to his thoughts.
Xu Wusheng looked up and saw Qin Yixian and Wei Dong walking towards him.
The jailer who had just fetched water happened to be among them. He stood behind them with the kettle in his hand, motionless, with his head down and silent. It was obvious that he would not give the kettle of water to Xu Wusheng.
Seeing Xu Wusheng sitting in the cell eating cakes leisurely, Qin Yixian sneered and said, "Your Highness is in a good mood today. It seems that you have figured it out."
Xu Wusheng turned around when he heard this. He glanced at Qin Yixian and said sarcastically, "If I figure it out, will Prime Minister Qin let me go?"
Qin Yixian raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Your Highness, cooperate obediently. Once you prove your innocence, I will release you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to signal the jailer to open the cell, then moved to Xu Wusheng and sat opposite him.
He stared at Xu Wusheng with eyes as sharp as an eagle. Seeing that Xu Wusheng was eating with relish, he subconsciously reached out to take a piece of cake, but Xu Wusheng quickly moved the plate aside.
Qin Yixian came up empty-handed, but he wasn't angry.
This is the pastry Ying'er made for him, so Qin Yixian is definitely not worthy of eating it.
Xu Wusheng glanced at him and said coldly, "There are all kinds of delicacies in Qin Xiang's mansion, so Qin Xiang doesn't have to fight with me, a prisoner, for food."
When Qin Yixian heard this, his eyes became dark, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Looking closely at the upturned corner of his mouth, there was an imperceptible sinister meaning floating in it.
Seeing Qin Yixian's weird smile, Xu Wusheng suddenly felt that the pastry in his hand no longer smelled good.
What is he laughing at?
Thinking that he might be planning something bad, Xu Wusheng frowned slightly and put down the pastry.
No matter how Qin Yixian was planning to deal with him in his heart, this time he wanted to take the initiative.
After a moment, he said calmly: "Tell me, what does Prime Minister Qin want to know?"
So cooperative?
Qin Yixian was stunned. He had originally wanted to use some tricks on him to force him to speak, but he didn't expect that he would be so proactive. This caught him off guard for a moment.
Did he figure it out overnight? But he felt that there was something fishy going on.
Xu Wusheng saw that Qin Yixian was distracted, so he asked, "Why, Prime Minister Qin doesn't believe what I said? Or don't you know where to start?"
Xu Wusheng finished speaking and glanced at Qin Yixian. "If it's the former, then isn't it redundant for Prime Minister Qin to ask me to come here to cooperate? If it's the latter, I will take the initiative to explain what I know."
When Qin Yixian came to his senses, he saw Xu Wusheng looking frank. Seeing that he was behaving abnormally, he stared at him with a scrutinizing look, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Your Highness didn't treat me like this yesterday. Why are you willing to cooperate so quickly today?"
Xu Wusheng sneered when he heard this. He glanced at Qin Yixian with his narrow eyes and was somewhat speechless. "Prime Minister Qin said on the surface that he was cooperating with the investigation, but in fact he had already regarded me as a criminal and imprisoned me in public. Do you think I can still be nice to you?"
Xu Wusheng paused for a moment, then continued: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I voluntarily cooperate so that I can clear my suspicion as soon as possible."
Qin Yixian felt that this reason was somewhat reasonable, but he still had some doubts about him in his heart.
I'd like to see what you can come up with.
In a flash, Qin Yixian's face showed excitement, "Very good, Your Highness, tell me, what do you know?"
After saying that, he stared at Xu Wusheng, as if expecting to learn some secret from him.
"I was stabbed by Feng Nanyi a few days ago. Perhaps in the eyes of Prime Minister Qin, this was a self-torture trick to exonerate himself, but it is not the case."
Qin Yixian showed a hint of surprise when he heard this. He did suspect that he was playing a trick, but he didn't expect Xu Wusheng to say it so frankly. Logically, they should have known it in their hearts and there was no need to say it in front of him, but he did not play by the rules, which made people a little puzzled.
Qin Yixian's eyes flickered, "Oh, why is that?"
Xu Wusheng raised his eyes and looked into Qin Yixian's eyes. He lowered his voice deliberately, with a hint of mystery, "I discovered his secret, so he turned against me and used his sword against me."
Under Xu Wusheng's guidance, Qin Yixian's appetite was instantly whetted. He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of interest in his eyes, "What secret does he have?"
"Although Feng Nanyi is my strategist, I know very little about his identity. I only know that he is a man of the Jianghu. I saw that he was resourceful and helped me many times, so I kept him by my side as a strategist. I never thought that he planned many things behind my back, including the Baique Lane Tour."
Xu Wusheng finished speaking and glanced at Qin Yixian. He seemed nonchalant, but he was actually observing his expression.
After listening to this, Qin Yixian frowned and seemed to be thinking.
Xu Wusheng's words showed that he not only had nothing to do with the party, but was also a victim, and he put all the blame on Feng Nanyiyi.
He was probably certain that Feng Nanyiyi's whereabouts were unknown and there was no way to verify it, so whatever he said was the truth.
Qin Yixian had just collected his thoughts when he heard Xu Wusheng's voice.
"Later I learned that he had a purpose in approaching me. Being my adviser was just a cover. His real intention was to win over various forces in Kyoto by relying on his identity as my adviser."
There was a hint of anger in Xu Wusheng's voice, as if his true heart had been betrayed.
However, when these words came out, Qin Yixian's face showed surprise.
He suddenly thought of something and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
A strategist dares to win over forces in Kyoto. He is quite courageous, but why does he want to win over forces in Kyoto?
Thinking of this, Qin Yixian asked: "What is his intention in doing this?"
“I don’t know either.”
No matter what Feng Nanyiyi's intention was, his behavior had already violated Qin Yixian's taboo.
According to his investigation, Feng Nanyiyi's identity is very mysterious. No one in the world knows his specific origins. They only know that his name is Feng Nanyiyi.
The more bizarre his identity is, the more complicated he is.
For Qin Yixian, Feng Nanyiyi is an unknown threat, and only by eliminating him can he feel completely at ease.
Qin Yixian narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a dangerous look flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"But after my secret investigation, I discovered a bigger secret."
Xu Wusheng's voice rang out, interrupting Qin Yixian's thoughts. Qin Yixian looked at him, with a hint of expectation and excitement in his eyes.
"What big secret is it? Your Highness, tell me about it." Qin Yixian had no idea that he was gradually becoming fascinated.
But Xu Wusheng, who was standing by, saw it clearly and saw that Qin Yixian had fallen into his trap, with a smile in his eyes.
"After the tour party, I secretly investigated Feng Nanyi and found that he had met with Fan Hua's subordinate Du Xuan in private. From their conversation, I learned that his real identity is the leader of Qianshuang Pavilion. He planned the tour party in Baique Lane and created chaos in order to rescue Shi's father and son."
After hearing this, Qin Yixian opened his eyes suddenly.
His eyes wandered for a moment, as if he was digesting this shocking news.
The leader of Qianshuang Pavilion is very mysterious. He rarely appears in public, and even when he does, he wears a mask.
Feng Nanyiyi also wears a mask when appearing in public, and his mysterious identity and origins cannot be ascertained.
Thinking about it this way, the two are extremely similar, and Feng Nanyiyi is most likely the head of Qianshuang Pavilion.
The things that were difficult to understand before suddenly became clear at this moment.
There were two groups of people who robbed the execution ground before. One group was from Fengyun Pavilion, and the other group was people of unknown origin. Now it seems that Qianshuang Pavilion was that group of people.
Suddenly, I began to believe what Xu Wusheng said a little more.
But there was one thing he couldn't figure out.
Qianshuang Pavilion and Fengyun Pavilion are known as the two major forces in the martial arts world, but Qianshuang Pavilion is known for being upright and acts openly, while Fengyun Pavilion is known for being evil and acts viciously. They do not interfere with each other and live in peace.
Why did they appear in Kyoto together to rescue the Toki father and son?
Qin Yixian was confused, but suddenly he thought of Shi Jin, and he suddenly understood something.
The General's Mansion and Qianshuang Pavilion are connected, and Shi Jin is a disciple of Qianshuang Pavilion, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.
I heard that Shi Jin was not well-received in Qianshuang Pavilion. It was not worth it for Qianshuang Pavilion to go against the imperial court for such a disciple.
Is there any other reason for this?
Qin Yixian's mood suddenly became complicated when he thought of Xu Wusheng's mention that Feng Nanyiyi was trying to win over multiple forces.
Xu Wusheng raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Yixian, and saw that he was frowning in thought, his expression changing, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Then he said meaningfully: "According to my guess, Feng Nanyi might want to use this wave of goodwill to win over the power of Fengyun Pavilion, or he and Fengyun Pavilion have already formed an alliance, so he conspired to rescue Shi's father."
Xu paused silently, then glanced at Qin Yixian: "If Qianshuang Pavilion and Fengyun Pavilion join forces, it will be even more difficult for Prime Minister Qin to deal with Fengyun Pavilion and capture Shi's father and son. By then, when Shi's father and son make a comeback and seek revenge on Prime Minister Qin, Prime Minister Qin will be in danger. If I were Prime Minister Qin, I would send someone to investigate this matter now. If it is true, they can make arrangements in advance instead of wasting time on me."
Under the anxiety and sense of crisis deliberately created by Xu Wusheng, Qin Yixian's face became very solemn.
"I don't need your Highness to teach me."
After saying this, he seemed to be thinking about something. He stared at Xu Wusheng for a moment, his eyes full of suspicion, and his tone was also questioning: "I have been investigating for a long time and have only found some clues. How could Your Highness know so much? Could it be that Your Highness is also involved?"
Xu Wusheng had long anticipated that Qin Yixian would have such doubts. Hearing this, he did not panic, but sneered, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"Prime Minister Qin, you are joking. If I were in cahoots with them, how dare I tell you so blatantly? Wouldn't that be courting death? As for why I can investigate more clearly than Prime Minister Qin, we can only look for the reason among Prime Minister Qin's subordinates. It took such a long time to investigate, and only found a tiny clue. Are you investigating seriously?"
Seeing Xu Wusheng's deliberate mockery, Qin Yixian frowned slightly and felt unhappy.
Xu Wusheng noticed Qin Yixian's mood change and calmed down a little.
"Prime Minister Qin has focused all his attention on how to capture Fan Hua, Shi Jin, and the Shi family father and son, and has spent a lot of manpower and energy, but has ignored the clue of Feng Nanyi. I am different. I am focused on investigating Feng Nanyi's identity. In addition, I have been with him for many years and know his habits. It is easier for me to find information from him than for you."
Qin Yixian's expression changed slightly when he heard this. There was no loophole in what Xu Wusheng said.
He had to admit that Xu Wusheng was a smart man. He did not choose to play dumb, but to be honest and frank. He knew that this would not only save him from physical pain, but also make others let down their guard against him and be willing to listen to him.
He did not believe others' words easily, but at this moment he believed about 60% of what Xu Wusheng said.
