Chapter 839: Boundless Romance (Part 1)

Just like that, Chu Xianping let Gongsun Yan go, and then he never met Wei Changtian again. He went out of the city directly to hunt down those Kuilong men who had practiced the Tiao Yue Sword.

Shortly after he left, the 200,000-strong army outside the city marched into Yongding City in a mighty force.

The army entered the city, but did not harass the people or kill anyone. Instead, they directly surrounded Longshou Mountain and immediately engaged in a battle with thousands of imperial guards loyal to Lu Yuanjin.

The huge disparity in numbers meant that the battle did not last long.

At about dusk, Longshou Mountain was breached, and the army quickly took control of the various government offices in Dahui and the entire imperial palace.

As for Lu Yuanjin, he was left with no other options, so he dismissed all his guests, went to the Lu Family Ancestral Hall alone, and then hanged himself in front of the tablets of his ancestors.

Half an hour later, the news of his death spread, and countless people walked out of their homes and spontaneously came to the foot of Longshou Mountain and knelt down for a long time.

The "rebels" on the mountain did not disperse the crowd or start a massacre. Instead, they left Longshou Mountain at night, then withdrew from Yongding City, and finally set up camp outside the city to rest.

At this point, with the rising of the bright moon in the east, this not-too-long battle for the throne finally came to an end, ending with Wei Changtian and Gongsun Yan's "great victory."

In just a few days, the latter will be able to put on the yellow robe and officially take over Longshou Mountain.

The Dahui Dynasty will also become history forever, gradually disappearing in the long river of time until no one remembers it anymore.

There is no doubt that Wei Changtian achieved his goal.

Moreover, the whole process can be described as "bloodless" and did not cause too much turmoil to the group.

As for whether the people of Dahui would hate him or be "grateful" for not killing him, Wei Changtian didn't care, and he didn't feel any guilt.

After all, if Chu had not been pacified first, it would not have been Dahui that was destroyed, but Da Ning and Da Shu.

If you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed.

This principle applies not only to individuals, but also to countries.

Wei Changtian certainly would not sympathize with his enemies.

But can some people really be considered enemies? "Sir, Chu An said he is waiting for you at the mass grave outside the city."

At the hour of Xu, when a crescent moon was already at the highest point in the sky, Zhang San hurriedly found Wei Changtian who was talking to Yang Liushi in the study.

"He left a note under my door, and I just saw it."

".Got it, go get the car ready first."

His eyes froze, and Wei Changtian slowly stood up with a complicated expression.

Zhang San quickly left to prepare the carriage, and Yang Liushi on the side also knew that the matter about Chu An would have a result tonight.

She stood up and walked to Wei Changtian, whispering, "My husband, I will go with you."

"If the time comes, I will do it for you."

".No."

Smiling, Wei Changtian shook his head and reached out to take down the Star Scabbard hanging on the wall.

He didn't say much, tied the scabbard and was about to push the door open and leave.

However, just before he was about to step over the threshold, he suddenly stopped, turned around and handed a black pill to Yang Liushi.

"Put a drop of blood on it."

“.”

"Um."

Looking at the black pill that exuded a strange aura, Yang Liushi responded lightly without asking any more questions.

She first used her inner strength to force a drop of blood onto the black pill, then looked at Wei Changtian and said softly: "My husband, I still say the same thing."

"No matter what you do, I will stand by you."

"Okay, I understand."

Smiling and putting the black pill back into his sleeve, Wei Changtian waved his hand and walked out of the room, soon walking away under the gaze of Yang Liushi.

We walked through the bamboo forest, along a bluestone path, and passed the front hall of the inn where a candlelight was lit.

Seeing Qin He sitting on a bamboo chair, chin in thought, Wei Changtian paused and asked for some unknown reason -

"What has Master Chu been doing?"

"Ah! Master Wei!"

Startled by Wei Changtian, Qin He quickly stood up and answered, "Chu An said he had something to do, and he was sneaky and didn't tell me in detail. Do you have something to do with him?"

"Nothing, just asking."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian suddenly said, "By the way, I have to leave early tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid I won't be able to be your witness."

"Ah? Are you in such a hurry?"

After a moment of hesitation, Qin He's tone became a little stuttering.

In fact, her mood is still very complicated. After all, she still hasn't figured out whether Wei Changtian is a good person or a bad person.

But since Wei Changtian is leaving, then these are not important. "Then, I will see you off tomorrow morning."

Qin He said softly, and lowered his head timidly: "May you have a safe journey, young master."

"Okay, I'll borrow your good words."

Smiling and nodding, Wei Changtian turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate.

But just after he took a few steps, a slightly urgent question suddenly came from behind him.

"Sir, you never thought of massacring the city, did you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“.”

After a pause, the figure finally disappeared silently into the night.

Wei Changtian didn't turn around, nor did he answer.

An hour later, outside Yongding City, there was a mass grave.

A mass grave is a burial mound where unidentified bodies are buried, or a mound where people are hastily buried due to too many deaths during a chaos.

Wei Changtian had no idea why Chu An chose such a place to meet him.

Perhaps the former believes that after tonight he will become one of those nameless graves, so he might as well "dig his own grave" in advance.

"Wait for me here."

The carriage stopped at the end of the overgrown dirt road, and further ahead was a small road that cars could not pass.

Wei Changtian got off the carriage, gave some instructions to Zhang San, and then walked alone through the desolate and silent cemetery, his steps seeming a little heavy.

To be honest, although he had asked Yang Liushi to drip blood on the puppet pill in advance and was prepared to use the Tiao Yue Sword to plunder the beast of destiny, he still had not really decided how to deal with Chu An.

Do you really want to risk your inner demons by using the Tiaoyue Sword? The previous time when he faced Yan Huanwen at Bailing Mountain, the inner demons of the Tiaoyue Sword were already stirring.

If I use it again, will I end up like Qin Zhengqiu, who has to take Yu Lu San on time?

Yes, Chu Xianping mentioned another way to suppress the inner demons last night.

But in fact, the Puppet Pill is not to "suppress" the inner demon, but to "fight poison with poison."

To put it bluntly, this method is more like controlling a robot through two sets of instructions.

Puppet Dan’s commands have higher “authority”, while the Inner Demon’s commands have lower “authority”. Although it is indeed possible to avoid the risk of losing control caused by the Inner Demon, who is willing to become a “robot” themselves?

So, should I just kill him directly? His mind was in a mess, but his eyes suddenly fell on a figure not far away.

Looking at Chu An sitting alone on a small mound, Wei Changtian walked over slowly, his expression becoming increasingly indifferent.

At this time Chu An also saw him.

Chu An stood up slowly. It seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine before coming here, and his body was a little shaky.

It was obvious that since he had made an appointment to meet Wei Changtian here, he already understood his fate.

But in fact, he still had many questions in his mind.

For example, how did Wei Changtian know his secret, why he didn't kill him before, and so on.

Chu An originally wanted to get to the bottom of things before he died and become a "clear-headed ghost".

However, when Wei Changtian really stood in front of him, he didn't ask any of the above questions.

The desolate graves are desolate and the moonlight is cold.

Chu An was silent for a while, and then, in a very humble tone, he asked about the thing that he cared about most.

"Young Master."

"You will let Qin'er go, right?"
