When The Male Supporting Actor Bend The Male Lead

This man was called Wu Sha, a traveling killer with no affiliation.

He was rebellious and had unruly temperament, wandering around and taking on murder request for a living… Except for the HeHuan shop, which was also one of his businesses.

Wu Sha would inquire about the news in his travel. Almost all of the secrets of HeHuan shop came from him and he was paid several times more every time.

To describe the relationship between the two, that was Qi Yan held his handle in his hand and Wu Sha was happily at ease even though he was threatened. He didn’t care if his weaknesses were known to others, he only cared about whether he lived a happy life.

“Tell me one thing you want to know most.” Wu Sha sat next to Qi Yan with his legs crossed and took a fruit in his hand to play with: “There will be a trick in the swordsmanship competition in the future. The old emperor has arranged it. If Puyang Zheng obediently marry the prime minister’s daughter, he will be safe; but if Puyang Zheng is unwilling, then…

His evil lips hooked with cold charm without a smile: “The military talisman might be taken.”

“Military talisman?” Qi Yan raised his eyes solemnly, the laziness in the corner of his eyes disappeared.  He looked at Wu Sha without blinking.

“The old emperor took in a theater troupe, using straw boats to borrow arrow1草船借箭 The act of using someone’s strength against them. The term is said to have originated from the Chinese strategist, Zhuge Liang, during the Battle of Red Cliff against the army of Cao Cao., and just waited for the east wind2只待东风 a crucial point/an opportunity. From the proverb- All is ready except what is crucial.”

“The emperor wants to frame Puyang Zheng and take the talisman?”

“That’s what you said.” Wu Sha smiled and bit on the fruit with a snap.

Qi Yan lowered his head and fell into contemplation.

“What are you thinking? Will you tell Puyang Zheng about this?”

“He won’t believe it.”

“It seems that you are not stupid either.” Wu Sha took a few bites of the fruit and threw the core out of the window: “Well, I still have some unresolved problem, so I’ll go first!” Once again, he felt a cool breeze and when he looked again, Qi Yan was the only one left in the room.

The emperor moved too fast; probably as soon as Puyang Zheng asked to cancel the marriage, he would lose his military power. Regardless of following the emperor’s transfer order, once the mole’s irresponsible remarks fell into the emperor’s ears, abolishing Puyang Zheng was as simple as crushing an ant to death.

But what worries Qi Yan even more was that the group of lieutenants and soldiers who followed Puyang Zheng to fight the war……

They followed Puyang Zheng licking blood on the blade of the knife3刀口上舔血 to lick a person’s blood with tongue on a knife after killing someone. Metaphors to show that they are very dangerous and very cruel.. On the day when they were stripped of their military power, they wouldn’t hold their breath to vindicate Puyang Zheng. This would truly hurt Puyang Zheng.

The occurrence of the two events couldn’t be controlled, so it was necessary to prevent all unexpected things from happening before the banquet in the Sun Palace begins.

＊

Time passed by, early in the morning of the second day, Puyang Zheng came to HeHuan shop again.

Admittedly, even if Qi Yan couldn’t be trusted all, he was currently the only one who had a solution.

Yesterday’s picture was still vivid in his mind, Puyang Zheng licked his lips and could still recall how different was the touch between men and women..

He was led to the same room as yesterday by the little waiter. Puyang Zheng thought, this should be his bedroom.

This time, Qi Yan appeared before he waited for too long.

He was still wearing a flaming red dress, revealing a fair chest, his black hair loose, and looking extremely enchanting.

“The general has made up his mind?”

“Yes.” Puyang Zheng said solemnly: “I can promise you the three conditions you mentioned, as long as it is within my ability.””

“Of course.” Qi Yan chuckled and said, “Then the first condition is to buy me and bring me back to the general’s mansion.””

“……what?” Puyang Zheng’s eyes widened abruptly and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes, “What do you mean?”

Qi Yan smiled without changing his expression, his reaction was within expectation. After all, no one wants to pay without getting any benefits.

“General, bring me back to the mansion.” Qi Yan insisted: “I can’t think of any other way where you will see another turning point.””

At this point, Puyang Zheng frowned and stared at Qi Yan for a long time. He finally asked uncertainly: “Are you serious?”

“I’ll never lie.”

“Good.”

Although he didn’t know Qi Yan’s true motive, Puyang Zheng still agreed, feeling that it was like giving medicine to a dead horse4死马当活马医 to keep trying everything in a desperate situation. After this period of time, it would still be possible to part ways with Qi Yan.

Moreover, he has not given up on getting Qi Yan’s contacts and HeHuan shop’s confidential information.
