An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

The next day Ji Yue went straight to Zhongling Palace. Wei Lian had already woken up but was still leaning against the head of the bed, too lazy to move.

Seeing Ji Yue coming in, Wei Lian just took a look outside, then retracted under the quilt and covered his head.

Ji Yue laughed: "Are you hiding from people?"

Wei Lian kept silent and wrapped himself in the quilt, pretending that Ji Yue didn't exist.

Ji Yue deliberately threatened: "Then stop blame Gu and tie you up for another night."

Wei Lian sat up angrily, glared at him angrily, full of accusations, and finally said nothing.

Ji Yue continued on his own: "Yesterday's group of assassins has already been recruited. It's an assassin organization in Jianghu. They received a reward and sneaked into the palace pretending to be a juggler. Gu has been dealt with according to the law."

Wei Lian lowered his head and responded, "Oh."

"I'm done talking about the assassin." Ji Yue smiled, "Now it's time to talk about you."

Wei Lian hugged his knees, rested his chin on the quilt, and whispered: "Isn't it enough for you to toss all night?"

His body is still sore.The wrists were tied for too long, and the red marks did not disappear.He himself felt miserable looking at it.

"One yard is one yard, and Gu hasn't asked clearly yet." Ji Yue didn't forget about the business after one night, "Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist. Tell the truth."

Wei Lian raised his head: "Explain what?"

"For example, who is your master?"

Ji Yue was very curious about the master Wei Lian was talking about.To be able to teach an apprentice like Wei Lian must be a strange person.However, in his initial investigation of the information about Chu State Prince Lian, there is no such a powerful person.

Wei Lian said: "He is an expert outside the world."

Ji Yue asked: "Since you are an expert outside the world, why did you appear in the Palace of Chu?"

"fate."

"what?"

Wei Lian said: "Master's name is Junzhu, he is a very mysterious and powerful person. I met him in the palace when I was nine years old. He said that he was destined to have a master-student relationship with me, so he came to the palace to look for me."

Ji Yue: "..."

It was really random.

"What did he teach you?"

"Nothing was taught at first."

"?"

Wei Lian explained: "When he first met me, he said that we came to be my master because of fate, and then threw me a stack of books, asking me to read them carefully, and when he came back next time, he would accept the results. He left. The second time I saw him, it was already half a year later."

Ji Yue: "..."

No matter how this master sounds, he is not reliable.

Just imagine a dignified son of a country who suddenly meets a person of unknown origin one day, and says inexplicably, "We are destined for you to worship me as a teacher", and then he doesn't teach anything, leaves a pile of books and disappears. This person is mentally ill, how could he take these words to heart.

As for those books, they should be kept at the bottom of the box. At worst, who knows if the stranger has ulterior motives, it would be good not to burn them.

"Those books come in all sorts of varieties, including medical books, military books, martial arts, and comic books for children." Wei Lian said, "Most of them are entry-level."

Although it is an entry-level level, if there is no one to guide it, it is really difficult to understand it just by reading a book.Wei Lian was only nine years old at the time, any child who got this pile of books would probably only be interested in comic books.

"The master came back half a year later and asked me how much I had read. I said it was nine out of ten, but the master laughed it off and asked me how much I saw out of nine out of ten."

Ji Yue thought to himself, Wei Lian is so smart that he probably has seen it all.

Sure enough, when Wei Lian said this, his expression was a little arrogant: "I say, everything."

To this day, recalling the stunned look of his master back then, Wei Lian finds it very interesting.

At that time, Wei Lian suddenly got such an opportunity. An ordinary child might not be able to seize the opportunity, but Wei Lian is no one.At the age of six, he understood the human heart, and at the age of nine, he had a mind that was not inferior to that of an adult.He has experienced the suffering of being weak, so he is extremely persistent in becoming stronger, and he would rather believe in something than in nothing.

For half a year, except for the one-twelfth of the comic book, and the witchcraft and spells that he really didn't care about, the rest of Qimen Dunjia, Qihuang Technique, and introduction to martial arts... were all thoroughly absorbed by him.

Half a year later, Junzhu came again and asked, "How many books have you read?"

He thought, for a nine-year-old child, it would be great to be able to read a dozen or two words, and it is not impossible to not read a word.

Wei Lian replied: "Nine out of ten."

Junzhu smiled faintly, noncommittal.The books he gave were hard for an adult to understand without foundation. This kid probably just skimmed through them once and didn't understand what they meant.

So he asked the second sentence: "How much does it look like?"

Wei Lian said, "All of them."

Jun Zhu only felt that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, while a yellow-mouthed child is very arrogant.He said with a joking attitude: "Okay, then I will test you to see how much you understand."

...After the test, Jun Zhu was stunned and closed himself on the spot.

No matter what he asked, Wei Lian was able to answer it fluently, and even drew inferences from one instance, he could be called a genius in heaven.

"You really are a genius." Jun Zhu was amazed as if he had found a treasure, "My child, you have passed the test. From today onwards, I will formally accept you as my apprentice."

Wei Lian was not overjoyed, but asked calmly: "Since it is destined, can you not accept it?"

"You kid, you're quite smart at such a young age." Jun Zhu said proudly, "I'm a genius, my apprentice, so naturally I can't be an idiot. If you haven't gained anything in the past six months, I won't care about the fate of the poor boy. I won't charge you."

"But it turns out, kid, you're not in the pool."

"I am willing to accept you as an apprentice, but are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

Without hesitation, Wei Lian performed the ceremony of apprenticeship in a proper manner.

Wei Lian knew in his heart who could teach him more useful things between those gentlemen in the palace who were willing to release water when they saw the young master, or this mysterious young man who was unpredictable at first sight.

Jun Zhu drank the apprenticeship tea and got a new genius apprentice. He was very excited: "My teacher is called Jun Zhu. Little apprentice, remember it. In the future, my teacher will come often and teach you some deeper things."

"But in fact, the frequency of his visits is not high." Wei Lian said, "The shortest period is three to five months, and the longest period is one or two years. Every time he comes back, he will give me a few words during the bottleneck period, and then leave more esoteric books. Gone again."

It can be described as a complete stocking.

Wei Lian is really self-taught.

Junzhu has come and gone without a trace, and for so many years, entering and leaving the palace is like entering a deserted land, without being discovered by anyone.Except for Wei Lian, no one knew of his existence.

Even after so many years, Wei Lian didn't know the origin of his master.

Ji Yue listened with great interest: "He's really a master." Wei Lian was lucky to have such an adventure.

In all fairness, Ji Yue was very grateful to that Master Wei Lian whom he had never met before.If it weren't for him, Wei Lian's life would probably have been more difficult since he was a child.

In this world full of gunpowder, only the strong have the confidence to speak.

And the weak do not even have the ability to protect themselves.

"That's right." Wei Lian agreed deeply, "I haven't seen him a few times in so many years. Others don't say they know him, and there are very few people who even know that I know martial arts. I started practicing swords in private Chang Sheng accidentally bumped into him when he was young. I simply taught him martial arts and did things for me."

"Now," Wei Lian looked at him, "you are one more."

Ji Yue was not the only one.Last night, the whole country of Qin would know that the proton sent by the country of Chu is not an easy role.

This time, he really showed all his cards.

Ji Yue thought about Wei Lian's skill, and thought of Wei Lian's tormenting people when he first came to Qin, and suddenly felt ashamed.

He hesitated and asked: "Wei Lian, tell the truth, did you... have thought about killing orphans?"

The period when Wei Lian first arrived was not a good one, and it was also the period that Ji Yue regretted most later.He thought that Wei Lian was weak, unable to resist at that time, living such a wronged life, the more he thought about it, the worse he became.But the facts have proved... Wei Lian is fully capable of revenge.

Ji Yue suddenly felt that he was lucky to live till now.

It turned out that it was not he who let Wei Lian go, but Wei Lian who let him go...

Opponents with equal strength, the one hiding in the dark is more likely to succeed.

Speaking of this, Wei Lian also remembered.

Because of Ji Yue's early behavior of Ah Meng, he was...

Every day, all, think, kill, king, what?

Combined with Ji Yue's excessive behavior of tying him up to do whatever he wanted last night, the more Wei Lian thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Just because Ji Yue played whatever he wanted last night doesn't mean he doesn't hold grudges afterwards.

Wei Lian sneered, quickly pulled out the dagger hidden under the bed sheet, and pressed it against Ji Yue's neck: "What do you think?"

Ji Yue: "..."

Okay, I understand, Wei Xiaolian really wanted to kill him back then.

No, why is there a dagger hidden under the bed sheet!

Thinking about this point is actually not difficult to guess. For people with high vigilance and low sense of security, hiding weapons by the bedside is a basic operation.The same is true for Ji Yue.

But Ji Yue was still afraid after thinking about it for a while.He didn't know that there was such a sharp weapon hidden under the bed sheet, what if Wei Lian was injured when he played too much last night...

Although the probability of this is very small, it must be zero percent as it concerns Wei Lian.

While thinking wildly, Ji Yue remembered another detail.

After walking last night, Wei Lian had already let out a sobbing sound, and his fingers were clutching the part of the bed sheet, which happened to be the place where the dagger was hidden.

He bullied Wei Lian to the point where he wanted to kill him...

And what did he do then?

Hearing Wei Lian's cry, he bullied him even harder...

Wei Lian's fingers stopped in that area, and he tightened his grip for a while, but then he let go weakly, allowing him to continue.

It turned out that there was a dagger hidden under the sheet.

The more Ji Yue thought about it, the more guilty she felt.

Thank you Wei for not killing me!

Although he was already discouraged, Ji Yue still insisted not to lose face, even though he had already lost all face in front of Wei Lian.

But Ji Yue refused to admit it.

He said coldly: "Wei Lian, you want to rebel?"

Wei Lian smiled, and rubbed his lips affectionately: "If you treat me well, I will serve the emperor, if you treat me badly, I will kill the emperor."

He got so close that most of the quilt on his body slipped off, revealing his snow-white skin and imaginative traces.

Ji Yue: "..."

Alone.

Who can stand this.

Ji Yue silently recited the mantra of pure heart, telling himself to calm down.

Biansheng Wei Lian leaned against his neck, and whispered softly in his ear: "...is my husband's lord."

Ji Yue: "..."

Fuck him cool off!

The dagger fell to the ground with a crisp "jingle".The young man on the bed was pushed down by Ji Yue long ago, his black hair was loose, his snow-white neck was slightly raised, and his eyes were clear.

Ji Yue lowered his head and kissed him.

"I'll treat you forever for my husband."

"You will serve the king for the rest of your life."
