Call On Me

36

After Wangji and Wuxian met with Wen Qing, they went to see Wen Ning. His wound was healing nicely and he would be fine. After a little while, Wangji and Wuxian were needed to meet with Baoshan for a meeting. When they arrived in the throne room, Lan Qiren and Chifeng Zun were present.

"Good morning, Master Lan, Good Morning Chifeng Zun," Wuxian greeted, "I hope your trip here went alright."

"It did," Chifeng Zun said, "the Nie Sect has agreed to help with the issue of the Jin Sect."

Wei Wuxian nodded. He had yet to share with Lan Qiren about his newfound knowledge of his parents. He placed a barrier over the room and he and Baoshan shared the information. Lan Qiren was surprised to find out that Wei Wuxian's father used to run a sect only for it to be destroyed by the Jiang Sect and the Jin Sect. The Jiang family has long since been dealt with and it wouldn't be fair to put the crimes of one's parents on their children.

As for the Jin Sect, they still have been going about with their arrogance and doing similar things as they did in the past. They eradicated Wei Wuxian's Father's sect and now they want to do the same to San Bao. They wanted Wei Changze's sect to be more involved and share their skilled, but they were family secrets that could not be shared. The only outsiders who could know were those who married in.

San Bao was in a similar situation. It didn't have skilled fighters but they had master healers. Anyone would be lucky to have San Bao as an ally as they can help with medical needs. San Bao was also a small sect that took in refugees, those who were homeless and needed shelter and food until they knew where they could go.

The difference this time, however, Baoshan was here to help protect them. There was also more support from the Lan Sect and the Nie Sect. The Nie sect because they believe in justice when justice is needed. The Lan Sect because they not only had similar morals, but they were allied with San Bao through a marriage, so it would only be right to help a small sect in need.

"Going straight to the Jin Sect would probably be a bad choice," Wei Wuxian said, "if we were to get them out in the open somehow, perhaps we have a better chance...and as much as he is arrogant, he is better than his father. Jin Zixuan would be better fit to take over and make better choices."

"We have ways to lure them out," Chifeng Zun said, "they want San Bao."

Wuxian had an idea, "Wai Po, the placebo array...you can make it seem as if there was something there that wasn't, correct?"

Baoshan immediately picked up on her grandson's idea, "the Jin sect is the only sect that does not know the real location of San Bao. If I place a placebo array somewhere and make them think that you let your barrier's down, the Jin Sect will make their move."

"We can set people within the array to make it look like they are just doing normal things, but when the Jin's get close, they can ambush," Wuxian said.

"This is a good plan, where would we place this array?" Chifeng Zun asked.

"There are several old Wen supervisory offices. We can use one of those," Wuxian suggested.

"My suggestion is to use one that is nowhere near Yiling," Lan Qiren said.

"The Jin Sect believes we take in Wen disciples...why not take the main one in Qishan?" Wangji suggested, "it would make them be more skeptical."

Wuxian nodded, "it is the biggest of them, which will help house all our people," he said, "it is holding three sects...unless we can convince Sect Leader Jiang to help, but I do not think he will."

"I think its best if we leave the Jiang Sect out of this situation," Lan Qiren said, "we do not know if Maiden Jiang still has her engagement with Jin Zixuan, and it would be a conflict of interest for them and would not make good decisions."

Baoshan nodded, "I agree with you," She said, "this is going to take time to plan. At least a month if we want to make sure we have enough provisions and such."

"That would be enough time to prepare our disciples," Lan Qiren said.

"Shufu...Xiongzhang?" Wangji asked.

"I do not know what to make of his situation," Lan Qiren said, "I do not trust Jin Guangyao, but I cannot just stop Xichen outright. He would not comply."

"Though he hasn't given much to show, there has to be a way to convince Zewu Jun that Jin Guangyao is not good company," Wuxian said.

"That might be where I come in," Chifeng Zun said, "I can perhaps set something up with Jin Guangyao and then have someone bring Xichen to witness it at the right moment."

"How about a luncheon?" Wuxian asked, "plan a meal or something and give Zewu Jun a different time to meet than Jin Guangyao."

"Not a bad idea," Chifeng Zun said.

The meeting came to an end soon enough. Wuxian brought everyone to the dining hall to have lunch as it was best to feed their guests before sending them on their way.

Later that evening, Wuxian sat down with Wangji in their room to talk for a bit before bed, "I hope all this works."

"Mnn,' Wangji nodded as he pulled Wuxian to his lap.

Wuxian smiled as he noticed that Wangji needed cuddles. He was having a hard time about his brother. Wuxian turned to face Wangji and held onto Wangji's face in his hands, "it will be okay, we will do what we can to help Zewu Jun."

Wangji nodded as he leaned into Wuxian's touch, "I know," he said. Wuxian's smile grew as he leaned in and placed a kiss on Wangji's chin. Wangji smiled back and reacted just as quickly to kiss him back, but on the lips. Wuxian giggled. Wangji can get so worked up by the smallest gestures and Wuxian couldn't help but love every bit of it.
