Chapter 48 The Three-Day Covenant

The premonition of happiness always becomes an illusion, but the premonition of misfortune often becomes a nightmare.

For Wu Jian, this time, when Xuanwu revealed the relationship between Tianyan Sect and Prince Ning's Mansion to him and Pan, and still expressed his ambitions to him, the premonition that emerged in his heart really turned into a nightmare.

"Master Xuanwu is joking with me, right?"

It was precisely because he heard Xuanwu’s next thought that Wu Jian’s attitude suddenly became cold. Although he still maintained a respectful title when he called Xuanwu, it was obvious that he no longer claimed to be the "personal person" of the North Pole Heaven as before. The sense of estrangement was once again highlighted, as if in an instant, he returned to the past and became the second-ranked star master Kang Jinlong under Dongjitian.

"Ha, what's the matter with Lord Wu Xing? Although I am not as good as those high-ranking officials in the court, I am still a person with some identities. How could I come to find you to make a joke late at night? And I still use such a big deal."

Hearing the resistance and alienation in Wu Jian's tone, Xuanwu couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom in his eyes, but he quickly covered up his past, and his face still had a smile that looked peaceful before, and replied with a smile.

"Ha, if Lord Xuanwu was not joking, how could he say such an incredible plan?"

Although the haze in Xuanwu's eyes flashed by, Wu Jian still looked at it. Therefore, he couldn't help laughing, but his smile was full of sarcasm.

"And, isn't the Lord Xuanwu worried that I will agree to your request here? But after arriving in Hongdu Mansion and entering the Ning Prince's Mansion, I turned around and reported all these matters to Ning Prince. Will I sue him?"

When Wu Jian said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became even brighter, and the sarcasm in it became even stronger.

"After all, as you said just now, compared to the powerful Ning Prince Mansion, a mere North Pole Heaven is really nothing. Since you have to choose one to bet anyway, why don't I choose one that looks like a bigger win to bet?"

"Haha, Master Wu is indeed a honest person."

When Xuanwu heard Wu Jian's analysis, he did not show any angry expression on his face. On the contrary, after staring at Wu Jian's eyes seriously and taking several breaths, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, as if he was not worried that doing so would wake up the neighbors around and expose his existence.

"But, Master Wu Xing, are you really willing to go to a dog under King Ning?"

After putting away his smile, Xuanwu asked Wu Jian for questioning.

"Ha, isn't I just following your advice from Lord Xuanwu, sneak into the Ning Prince's Mansion and help you spy on the information about the Ning Prince's Mansion? Isn't I just being a dog for you?"

Wu Jian sneered twice at first, then spoke in a silly tone and asked in a self-deprecating tone.

"Since no matter what, I am always a dog for others, why not be the richest, strongest, and most capable person who feeds me as a dog?"

"No, no, no."

Xuanwu quickly shook his finger and denied Wu Jian's self-deprecating words.

"Whether it is you and me, or the dead Qinglong, Huanglong, the half-dead Zhuque, everyone in the Tianyan Sect is just his dog in the eyes of King Ning."

It seems to be to emphasize the difference between himself and King Ning, Xuanwu took out King Ning first, which was considered a target or a comparison target.

"But I, in the eyes of King Ning, I am always just a dog, but I am unwilling to be a dog under King Ning forever. Therefore, I established Diting. Therefore, I vigorously developed Diting. After being wiped out by Jinyiwei and other yamen in Zhongjitian in Hongdu Mansion, I tried to use Diting to approach King Ning and be on par with King Ning. It was precisely because of this that King Ning discovered this that he was so angry that he wanted to catch me, the dog that was trying to climb onto the table, and beat him to death."

In order to enhance his persuasion, Xuanwu also told all the conflicts between himself and the Ning Prince's Mansion.

"If Master Wu Xing, you surrender to King Ning, even if King Ning believes in you for the time being, when my disobedient dog was beaten to death by him, what ending do you think you can get?

What's more, with my understanding of King Ning, when you reveal all this to him and try to rely on this as your capital, you are not sure whether the Ning King you are talking about is true or false. You will only kill you and eliminate you, an ant that may threaten him in the simplest, most brutal, but absolutely effective way."

Xuanwu talked endlessly in the manner of an experienced person, while Wu Jian, who was the listener, frowned, as if trying to analyze how true and false what Xuanwu said.

But in fact, from the moment Xuanwu mentioned the relationship between Tianyan Sect and Prince Ning's Mansion, Wu Jian kept thinking about something in his mind:

Does Bai Shier know about this? Does the emperor behind him know about it? If he doesn't know, then is this news enough to make great contributions?

However, although this thought has been wandering in his heart, he is very clear that at least tonight, he must fool Xuanwu first, otherwise, he will never see the sun tomorrow again, let alone report the news to Bai Shier and make great contributions.

"Ha, since that's the case, I'm really interested in the conditions of the Lord Xuanwu."

After thinking for a while, as if he had temporarily accepted what Xuanwu had just persuaded, Wu Jian raised his head, with a slightly anticipated look in his eyes, and he responded.

"I was indeed not wrong in guessing, Master Wu Xing is a smart person."

Xuanwu showed a little admiration on his face. After nodding with satisfaction, he continued to speak with a smile.

"Since that's the case, then I will no longer go around with Master Wu Xing."

Then, Xuanwu put away the smile on his face, looked stern, and said very seriously.

"As long as Lord Wu Xing can agree to sneak into the Ning Prince's Mansion this time and help the Lord win this battle with the Ning Prince's Mansion, after that matter is completed, Lord Wu will fully support Lord Wu Xing to rebuild the Dongjitian!"

Speaking of this, Xuanwu looked at Wu Jian deeply before speaking solemnly in a slow tone.

"A Dongjitian who belongs entirely to Master Wu and is no longer controlled by anyone."

"Even if it's..."

Wu Jian, who heard Xuanwu's promise, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a little sarcastic look in his eyes and wanted to ask back, mocking Xuanwu.

"Even if it's the deity."

But Xuanwu seemed to have expected Wu Jian to ask this question long ago. Before he could ask his question, he took the lead and gave a very serious and sincere answer.

"Ha, how can Lord Xuanwu ensure that he can do this?"

After being answered by Xuanwu first, Wu Jian couldn't help but be stunned, with a little astonishment on his face, and then he asked with a sneer of sarcasm in his previous eyes.

"Anyway, even if you can escape from the Ning Palace by chance and escape from the Ning Palace, you may not be able to return to this capital to ask Lord Xuanwu for all the promises you have, right?

Even though I had a good fortune, I escaped from the Ning Palace by chance, escaped from the Ning Palace, and returned to the capital unexpectedly. Lord Xuanwu, you are really a gentleman who is as good as you can, and helped me rebuild the Dongjitian and let my seat sit in the position of Qinglong.

But when people are paid by Lord Xuanwu, money is also paid by Lord Xuanwu, and even if the location is selected by Lord Xuanwu, even if you really sit in the position of the Qinglong, it is just a puppet that no one will take seriously. What is the difference between seeking the Ningwang Mansion and being a dog under King Ning?”

Wu Jian's tone became colder and colder, and the ridicule on his face slowly dissipated with the words, turning into complete indifference.

"This Master Wu Xing can rest assured."

Although Wu Jian's attitude became extremely bad when he talked about this plan, and his speech was even more sarcastic and full of sarcasm, now, he was even more hesitant and fearless and directly expressed his distrust of himself with a cold attitude, but Xuanwu's face was still not annoyed. On the contrary, he was as if he was a shaking person, and was very satisfied with Wu Jian's performance.

"I have never thought of intervening in other branches of the North Pole. What I want is never to be alone without the control of the Ning Prince's Mansion and be a person with integrity."

Xuanwu first emphasized the reason why he did this again. However, after seeing Wu Jian still looking unanimous, he also knew that just talking about these big and empty things without any guarantees would definitely not convince the smart and worldly Wu Jian. Therefore, he immediately talked about the more detailed content later.

"If Master Wu really can't believe in me, then when Master Wu rebuilds Dongjitian, I will never intervene, let alone send people. Everything will be decided by Master Wu himself. I will only be responsible for providing Master Wu with a sum of money that can rebuild Dongjitian."

Hearing this, the undeniable expression on Wu Jian's face finally disappeared, showing a little curiosity and expectation.

"Of course, if Lord Wu is worried that his Lord will break the contract, then we can find a sect that you and I can trust, and now hand over the money to the other party and agree on a token. After the matter is done, Lord Wu can take the token and take out the money. If Lord Wu doesn't want to see him again, he can also disappear directly after getting the money, and you and I will not owe each other."

"I have already felt the sincerity of the Lord Xuanwu,"

Wu Jian seemed to be very interested in his tone as if he had finally been moved for the first time.

"However, if this token is held in my hand, wouldn't Master Xuanwu be afraid that I will take the token and take out the money and then run away?"

Wu Jian seemed to be considering Xuanwu, but obviously, his true meaning was completely opposite to it.

What he was really worried about was that Xuanwu had always held the token. In this way, he would eventually go to see Xuanwu, and the situation would undoubtedly return to the situation he had worried about before.

"Thank you, Lord Wu, for considering this, Lord Wu, has been a little overthinking about this. Lord Wu, has already designed everything."

Xuanwu could naturally hear the true meaning behind Wu Jian's words, but he obviously would not really just poke it out, but continued to say it in accordance with Wu Jian's words.

"This token is not in the hands of the Lord now, and of course, it will not be in the hands of you, Lord Wu."

"Ning Prince's Mansion?"

Wu Jian immediately understood Xuanwu's meaning and uttered three words in surprise.

"Ning Prince's Mansion!"

Xuanwu also spoke these three words, but his tone was very certain.

"In the Ning Palace, there is a Dragon Abyss Sword that the Lord gave to King Ning last year, and there is also a valuable Shoushan Stone that was given to King Ning the year before as a gift for King Ning to succeed to the throne. I heard that when Qinglong first arrived in Jiangnan, he received a "Drunk Emperor's Return of the Ming Dynasty" by the layman Longmian, and gave it to King Ningjing as a birthday gift. As long as Lord Wu Xing can get one, he can use it as a token to get the money sent by the Lord.

Of course, these three treasures are just tokens. Master Wu only needs to show them, and they still belong to Master Wu.”

Xuanwu didn't keep it too much. After confirming Wu Jian's inquiry, he said three treasures that could be used as tokens.

"Each of these three treasures is valuable and will definitely be carefully cared for by King Ning. If you want to get one of them from the strict care of Prince Ning's Mansion, Lord Xuanwu is too despised, right?"

But after hearing this, Wu Jian couldn't help frowning. It was obvious that he felt that it would be too difficult to succeed in the three tokens selected by Xuanwu.

"Haha, except for the last pair of "The Emperor of Ming Drunken Returns" by Longmian layman, these three treasures may be a little difficult, the other two should not be too difficult for Master Wu Xingzhu, who has been infiltrated into the Ning Palace and has been trusted by King Ning, especially the Long Abyss Sword. If Master Wu Xingzhu gets full trust from King Ning, he is afraid that King Ning will not hesitate."

"Hey, after all, this is just because the Lord Xuanwu still believes in his heart."

"Haha, first the villain and then the gentleman. Besides, has Lord Wu forgotten what he said just now?"

Xuanwu smiled and fought back.

"This is what Lord Wu Xing, you reminded me of the Lord."

"whispering sound."

Wu Jian curled his lips in a very annoyed manner, causing the facial scarf to cover his mouth to move slightly.

"The conditions of Lord Xuanwu are indeed very attractive, but this matter is of great importance. Lord Xuanwu should just let it go and think about it for a few more days."

After frowning and thinking for a while, Wu Jian's face was still hesitant and looked at Xuanwu in a rather embarrassing manner.

"Three days."

Xuanwu stretched out three fingers without any hesitation.

"Time is precious. The Ning Mansion has already taken action. The Lord of the Lord doesn't have much time to wait."
