Chapter 963: Being Lied Again!(1/2)

 If it were the Han Dynasty where blood was at its peak and heroes were wandering around, I am afraid that a man like Wang Zhiyuan with a clean face and pink face would not be popular.

Wang Mi was able to receive the treatment of throwing fruit and ying chariots in this era, which was all due to the folk customs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In this era, people advocate inaction and carefreeness. In particular, there is a trend that women also have certain aesthetic requirements for men.

They tend to like men with thin skin and tender flesh, who look like women, and pursue them with great fanfare. Of course, such aesthetic trends are not entirely the result of women's choices.

In this era, it is also popular for men to take medicines such as Wushi Powder. One of the side effects of Wushi Powder is that it can make people's skin white, tender and sensitive, to the point where it can even break if you poke it with a slightly heavier hand.

If a man likes this kind of business, he will naturally not have the strength to be a righteous hero. This did not matter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Originally, this era was a time when literature was highly valued over martial arts, and all kinds of talk and metaphysics were advocated. Young men could not even ride a horse.

Everyone regards being weak as beautiful, and some people are so weak that they need two or three people to support them when they go out.

This is not scaremongering, but a story that actually happened in history.

Affected by this aesthetic trend, women don’t really like men with traditional masculinity.

The value of a relatively frail and beautiful man like Wang Zhiyuan has also risen.

There are many rotten peach blossoms, which is quite sad.

In the previous life, how could Wang Mi, who had such a prosperous peach blossom, waste such a great opportunity?

We have been hugging each other for a long time, enjoying the blessings of being together.

But, it just doesn’t work now.

Obviously in this era, it was common to take concubines and prostitutes, but he could neither let down his wife's affection nor abandon the support of the Xie family.

Therefore, these many temptations, placed in front of him, have become a burden. With so many beauties surrounding him, isn't this tempting him to make mistakes?

"It seems that in a few days, I will find a temple to stay for a few days to relax my mood." He looked at the green water and murmured to himself.

"You have a good family, why do you want to live in a temple?"

"After returning from a great victory, you still have something on your mind?"

Suddenly there was a voice behind him, Wang Mi turned around suddenly, it was Wang Xun!

This is truly an unexpected character!

"Dharma protector, long time no see."

It's been a long time indeed, this is not a lie.

Wang Mi has been on a long journey and has not seen many people in the palace for a long time. Among such many people, Wang Xun is one who has fewer opportunities to meet.

Originally, he was a reclusive person who didn't like to socialize, and he didn't get close to the people in the palace on weekdays.

Even if Wang Mi wanted to see him, it was not easy.

What's more, the two of them didn't have much friendship in the past, and Wang Mi would not specifically think of him as a relative.

There is no need to meet specifically.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xun came to find him on his own.

This is even stranger.

How could such a quiet person with few words take the initiative to talk to him? It seemed that something was going on.

"I'm just complaining. I won't really live in a temple. If my family doesn't agree, even my wife won't agree."

How long does it take for you to come back? You actually want to kiss your wife and stay alone in the empty room. Doesn’t Wang Mi want to live?

Wang Xun came closer and looked at the water.

He didn't pay attention to his own face, but instead focused on the small fish swimming under the green water.

"That's quite the truth."

Still not leaving?

It seems that something big is really going on.

"Dharma protector, I saw Aning today."

Wang Xun and Wang Gong are good friends, even stronger than the relationship between Wang Mi and Wang Gong. There is no need to hide this kind of thing from him.

Wang Xun's expression changed slightly, he was completely unexpected.

"Did he go to find you?"

"Didn't you go to Jiang's Workshop today?"

It seems that Wang Mi's whereabouts are not a secret in the Langya Palace. Even a reclusive person like Wang Xun is well informed.

"That's right, but how do you know it was him who went to find me and not me who went to find him?"

Most people would think that Wang Mi went to visit Wang Gong specifically when they heard that Wang Shilang had gone out in the morning and that he and Wang Gong met again at the same time.

Wang Xun smiled and said: "That's impossible. I know Aning best. He is definitely not a calm person, but you are different."

"You are a serious person. When you return to Jiankang, you have so many important things to deal with. How can you rush to see him?"

Ah...this...

If Wang Gong, the petty person, knew that this was what his good friend was thinking, he would probably jump in anger.

Wang Mi didn't know whether it was okay or not. After Wang Gong was thrown out, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two became much more relaxed. Wang Xun came to talk first, so naturally he wouldn't mind that Wang Mi didn't answer in time.

"It seems that the discussion was very good."

"A-Ning compromised?"

Wang Mi nodded: "You are right, we have indeed negotiated."

"However, this is only temporary. Aning has always disliked me. Even if I give in now, I don't know what will happen in the future."

"Dharma Protector, you have a better relationship with Aning. How do you think he will deal with me?"

Hearing these words, Wang Xun had a thought in his mind and finally looked away from the edge of the pool.

"Dispose of you?"

"How can this be!"

"Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that you have the absolute advantage whether in the court or in the local area."

"With Aning's power, how can I shake you at all?"

Is I that strong?

Could it be that this is how they all view him?

Wang Mi suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength. If he were a person accustomed to flattery, Wang Mi would not be touched at all.

But Wang Xun is different.

This is a person who seldom praises, and his comments may reflect the real situation.

"You don't have to be too exaggerated. An Ning is also capable. Since His Majesty Yan Jia, the government has been handed over to An Ning's hands. Hasn't it always been in order?"

"It can be seen that Aning's ability is still very good."

"The only shortcoming is that it's a bit petty, but that doesn't have any impact on me."

"He can't think straight and is petty. It's him who feels uncomfortable, not me."

"I have made my intentions clear to him today. Although I do have some military exploits now, I don't want to compete with him for power in the court. He just needs to rest assured."

"All I ask is that as Prime Minister, he does not interfere with my actions. That is enough."

Wang Xun looked puzzled: "Zhiyuan, why are you so humble and withdrawn?"

"Are you really willing to be inferior to Aning?"

This is not a question of trust between friends, this is a question that is impossible according to common sense.

A general with great military exploits and a son of an aristocratic family, he was clearly qualified to compete and steal Wang Gong's job.

But now, not only did he not fight for it, but he also personally stated that he was not interested in the power in the court and only wanted to focus on the battlefield.

If you tell this kind of thing, let alone Wang Gong, you won't believe it. Even the simple-minded Wang Xun won't believe it.

This is simply not consistent with objective facts.

Looking at Wang Xun's expression, you can tell that a close friend is hard to find.

Wang Mi sighed and said in a deep voice: "Dharma protector, this is not a question of who is superior or who is inferior. This is a question of personal preference."

"I just want to lead troops to fight. Conquering cities and territories is my hobby. What's the point of asking me to return to the court and fight An Ning to the death?"

"Wouldn't this hurt my friend's feelings?"

"But..." Wang Xun still couldn't figure it out.

Wang Mi stopped his random thoughts.

"It's nothing. If you don't believe it, you can continue to look at it. If I really wanted to compete with Aning, I wouldn't wait until today. Those previous victories were not fought before, and they were not commanded by others. They were all mine.

Credit.”
