I Persuade People With Reason

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

The sky is sunny and clear.

A figure lay on the rattan chair, and the scattered black hair was like a waterfall. The snow-white inner garment and the black outer garment overlapped and scattered on the rattan chair at will.

The person has their eyes closed.

Light golden light speckled on the young mans pale and calm face and landed on his distinct eyelashes, as if they were beaded with pearls, like a beautiful painting.

Asleep, he shows none of the coldness, arrogance or cruelty. As if all the beauty of the world was concentrated on him. Just like the fist time system 999 saw him. No wonder system 999 was confused into choosing him.

The more the system 999 looks, the more entranced it is.

Over the past few days, the host has been idle in the mansion and not left. If he has nothing to do, he will lie in the courtyard and bask in the sun.

Looking like a lazy cat combing its hair lazily in the sun. Occasionally, it opens its eyes and casually glances at others.

Almost as if what happened that day was a collective illusion.

However, if it had not been for his strong control over the guards of the Shenwu generals residence, creating strict prohibitions and completely containing the news inside. The whole country would be turned upside down with the flashy news of The crown prince was poisoned and chased down the imperial doctors with a sword.

System 999 is puzzled: [Host, since Xiao Zhi has secretly taken refuge under you and even has the antidote prescription, why dont you let him detoxify you?]

After listening to Xiao Zhis introduction, the poison named eroding heart can be classified as extremely potent. At first, the effects seemed ordinary, but as the toxicity increases so do the effects. Just like its name, it is enough to corrode anyones heart.

After listening to the words of system 999, Yuan Buwei responded lazily: Dont worry. It will be solved sooner or later.

Moreover, the poison of eroding the heart is not completely uncontrollable. All it does is amplify the mood of the poisoned person and turn a little anger into an uncontrollable explosion.

For people who were not affected by this kind of emotional fluctuation, there is almost no effect after poisoning.

System 999 naturally didnt understand, but it feels that the host is more and more elusive.

Compared with his previous vigorous and resolute actions, he is so lazy these days. Every day he lies lazily in the yard to bask in the sun, or put forward various suggestions to the chefs on how to make sugar gourd sweeter.

This surprised system 999.

Is this still its host that straight after arriving in the new world kept looking for and making trouble all day?

After listening to its question, Yuan Buwei lifted his eyelids and asked curiously, Isnt this how you want me to act? For me to do nothing and wait for the protagonist to ascend the throne safely or take the initiative to approach the protagonist and dramatically lose in front of him.

If the so-called whitewashing only goal is preventing the villains reputation being too cruel, the task assigned by this system should be to become a once in a generation benevolent lord, but in fact, its task is to keep law and order and dont compete with the protagonist Its not so much whitewashing the villain as kneeling and pandering to the protagonist.

Then the so-called villain whitewashing system should be most happy to see it succeed because of such a lazy attitude?

System 999: Very logical_ (x )_

Strangely, before, what it most wanted to see was the host not doing anything. It was enough to hold the protagonists thigh to safety; If it were a different host. But why is it so difficult to imagine Yuan Buwei acting like a small lackey in front of the protagonist?

since the binding of this new host, system 999 is in doubt daily.

At this time, the person who answered the question suddenly said, You seem too lively these days?

System 999s spirit body immediately trembled.

Lively = talkative = noisy = locked up in a small black room.

Recalling the fear towards the small black room again, system 999 immediately pretended not to exist and remained silent.

Yuan Buwei didnt care what it thought. As soon as he sank into his consciousness, he fell back asleep.

Sure enough, the intensity of the sun was just right.

zzzzz

When he woke up and opened his eyes, there was a figure not far away.

He wore a black arrow sleeve robe embroidered with red flames and black leather boots. The postur was straight, but his waist was slightly bent and there were no weapons in sight.

It was Qin mo.

There was a subtle sense of murderous force surrounding him. Once Qin Mo makes any wrong move, he will be struck down.

However, this force is very hidden. If not for the Yuan

Buweis senses, that are far more acute than ordinary people, he would not have noticed.

This is done by the dark guard of the original host.

These dark guards were trained by the original host. In the past, they were mainly used to investigate the movements of enemy countries. Most of the intelligence networks of the Shenwu generals mansion are also located in the enemy country. This is also one of the important reasons why the original body is victorious in war.

Yuan Buwei tested them on Xiao Zhi, he found that these people really have a strong ability to collect intelligence. Its just that they were never used to pay attention to the capital in the past.

Perhaps even the original owner himself had never thought that the sharp blade that eventually brought him down did not come from the enemy, but from inside of Beili, which he had never guarded against.

Yuan Buwei made a casual gesture, and the faint murderous spirit disappeared completely.

Qin Mo didnt notice it from beginning to end.

It seems that you have made a choice.

Looking at Qin Mo standing respectfully aside, there was no surprise on his face.

Thats right. In this world, even if some people regard death as their destination and dont care about their own life, they are not necessarily willing to die as traitors and full of stigma. In the end, not only can they not please either side, but also will be despised by both sides. Maybe they will be tortured to death in the future.

Qin Mo was not as nonchalant as him.

Before, he had pledged to die for his loyalty. Not long after he overturned and came to switch sides, it made him red from shame.

He was not a man of words either. Straightforwardly, he bent on one knee and bowed his head deeply.

Your Highness, please forgive me. This humle one was temporarily confused.

His words were vague, but his meaning was clear.

Yuan Buwei smiled: It doesnt matter to have had a moment of confusion, as long as it doesnt happen again in the future.

The words were light and gentle, sounding close and familiar. Swiftly Qin Mos face changed to awe. He realized the meaning, and his expression became more and more respectful.

He said lightly, Oral promises are worthless. You taught me that. Its easy to prove that you wont be confused again.

He softly said those few words.

Hearing them, Qin Mos face changed colors one after another. After a series of complex changes, he finally recovered his usual silent, cold and unsmiling attitude.

But there was clearly deeper fear and awe towards Yuan Buwei in his gaze.

He finally agreed.

Looking at Qin Mos departing back, he shook his head, and the faint smile at the corners of his lips completely disappeared.

He leaned back slowly on the cane chair, and a somewhat dull expression appeared on his cold face.

Boring.

Although Qin Mos secret defection was more beneficial to him, the result was really as he predicted. Yuan Buwei was bored and he lost the previous expectation.

Being shaken by such a simple strategy? The so-called loyalty is nothing more than that.

If he really sticks to the end and doesnt change his intention even at death, Yuan Buwei would regard him higher.

He completely forgot it was him who had played tricks on the other not long ago, watching coldly, the man struggling between the two choices.

Like how he believes that a red candied haw is never as delicious as it looks. So he has to peel off the sweet sugar coating on its surface. When he really sees the expired and deteriorated inside, it still disgusts him.

maybe what he wants to see is a sugar gourd that is as sweet as an explosion?

Thoughts scattered, Yuan Buweis mind was unconsciously occupied by sugar gourd, and he subconsciously licked his lips.

System 999 read his mind and finally had the opportunity to retaliate and get revenge: [Dont think about it, youve finished todays sugar gourd.]

He became dull all at once. Yuan Buwei spread lazily on the rattan chair. Like a big cat with its belly exposed.

However, looking at the bright light reflected in his eyes, he was in a better mood.

On sunny days, he is always happier than usual.

The author has something to say:

One thing has been explained. My article is different from other fast wear settings you have seen.

What happened to Qi Mingxuan, who was poisoned and turned into a tyrant, before finally killed, etc. many little cuties probably mistakenly thought it had all happened in previous lives, and the protagonist just came to a time when everything had not yet happened.

Everyone misunderstood! No one in this world is special. If everything has happened, why does the whole world reverse time and give each other the chance to start from scratch? The protagonist traverses not the fantasy novel world, but the real world in the void. So it is impossible to turn back the whole world in order to let the protagonist complete the task.

All these things are fate stories that have not yet happened and may happen in the future. There are thousands of possibilities for a persons destiny. The system is equivalent to just intercepting the most probable one and displaying it in front of tYuan Buwei, so that he can see the future destiny in advance. So far, in addition to this body poisoning, other things later, such as Qin Mos betrayal, such as becoming a tyrant, may happen in the future. The protagonist is equivalent to predicting in advance as mentioned earlier, the original body chose to leave because he accidentally saw his future destiny. So nothing has happened yet!!! Its the future!!!]

When the protagonist makes different choices, his future destiny will change. For example, Qin Mo, who should have betrayed him, turned to his side instead. Do you understand? Because there is no so-called previous life at all! Everything just hasnt happened yet. The predicted future enemy may become a friend, and the future companion may also become an enemy because of the choices made by the protagonist. Everything is possible.

Also, people always ask the protagonist why he believes Qin Mo will be loyal to him. The protagonist doesnt believe him at all and doesnt need his loyalty. The protagonist takes him as a tool man. Now he is in the protagonists house. The protagonist already knows the details of this guy. Wont he secretly find someone to watch him? Think he would really let him be free? Can he still make trouble? Will he have access to the protagonists confidential information? Even if you want to engage in espionage, you have to let the protagonist trust him first!

The protagonist just treats him as a useful tool. If he really wants to do something, the protagonist will naturally deal with him. So dont take him too seriously, and dont think our protagonist is a silly white sweet that everyone else believes. Taking people as tools is one thing, trust is another. (Zhang Xiu killed Cao Caos son, but later he refused to accept his surrender. But I dont think anyone thinks Cao Cao trusts and likes this guy in his heart. In the final analysis, its just that this tool man temporarily still has his uses.)¹

The important aspect of spies and traitors is that they are secret and cant be guarded against. A man who hides in the dark will no longer be a threat if he is exposed to the sun. Because the protagonist has too many means to deal with him, he wont have a chance to make trouble.

Thats all for the explanation. I always see a lot of questions about this. Im also very weak. Those who have seen spy war films should know that plotting after catching spies is the most valuable thing, right? Killing is the most wasteful. Is it possible that the spies who are turned against can be trusted wholeheartedly? Dont be ridiculous. They have people watching them all the time.
