Chapter 167: Choice
Why did Xiao Feng do this?
Wei Changtian had thought about this question several times.
Wei Changtian didn't think Xiao Feng would be stupid enough to believe that he would really go to the appointment alone.
If this is the case, it means that Xiao Feng is quite confident about this "decisive battle".
At the very least, he felt that he had a certain chance of winning.
So, where does this chance of winning come from? The Liu family? Or other forces that bow down to the "protagonist's halo"?
It was late at night outside the window, and only a few nightingales were singing softly.
Wei Changtian sat motionless at the table, constantly recalling the plot of the original novel.
Then at a certain moment, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could it be the remnant soul hidden in the Xuantian Sword? According to the original novel, this remnant soul is an ancient great cultivator who, in addition to knowing countless mysterious skills, also founded a secret organization that continues to this day.
The level of mystery of this organization is basically the same as the "Real Freemasonry" in the previous life. Almost no one in the world knows about it. Even if someone who knows the inside story accidentally exposes it, most people will think he is joking.
After all, an organization whose members are all at the "upper third grade" level sounds outrageous enough.
In the early and middle stages of the novel, this remnant soul only appeared once at the very beginning, and taught Xiao Feng the magical power "Dream Way".
For a long time afterwards, it had no role in the story and was not even mentioned. Wei Changtian guessed that the author had forgotten about it.
It was not until the later part of the novel that Xiao Feng encountered a death situation in the process of overthrowing the Daning Dynasty. The remnant soul then reappeared and directly ordered the members of the mysterious organization to help Xiao Feng break the situation successfully. By the way, he also pretended to be a super big shot in front of Ning Yongnian.
So, is it because of this that Xiao Feng dared to confront him? Then how many experts could that remnant soul bring?
The novel mentioned that there were three second-rank people. What about this time? Also three?
Second-grade people are not common cabbages. There are less than ten of them in the whole of Daning. Even if those who hide their identities are included, there are only about 20 to 30 at most.
It should be about the same. If there are three of them, I still have the advantage.
Wei Changtian was not sure about this and did not feel very confident.
In fact, if he was more rational and ruthless, he should not take this risk. The most correct approach would be to avoid fighting.
He let Xiao Feng kill Yang Liushi while he hid himself in advance, in case Xiao Feng couldn't wait for him and came with a group of experts to kill him.
After all, it is impossible for this group of masters to stay by Xiao Feng's side forever. They will probably go back after a few days. If he fights back at that time, he will undoubtedly have a huge advantage.
Of course, although this approach is safe enough, it also has many disadvantages.
Needless to say, Yang Liushi will definitely die, but the more important thing is that he will most likely miss the best opportunity to kill Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng is not stupid.
If they fail to win the "decisive battle" this time, they will probably find a place to hide and develop secretly.
By then, it would be extremely difficult to find him.
Even though he has a system, Wei Changtian doesn't think he can beat a Son of Heaven if it comes to development speed.
Should we take a risk and seize the opportunity to completely eliminate the trouble?
Or should I just stay alive for a while and think about future matters later? This time the choice was much more difficult than the last time I killed Liu Yuanshan.
When killing Liu Yuanshan, Wei Changtian had an idea of all possible situations, gains and losses, and knew that even in the worst case scenario, he would most likely not die.
But this time there is too much unknown information, which increases the risks exponentially.
In the cold night sky, a half moon hangs obliquely and the stars are twinkling.
Wei Changtian thought for a long time, motionless like a stone sculpture.
“Ohhhh~”
Amid the familiar and distant sound of roosters crowing, a ray of red light pierced the sky, and the morning sun's rays filtered through the window and gently fell at his feet.
The sun rises in the southeast, illuminating everything in the world.
After a stick of incense, a horse-drawn carriage drove out from the gate of the small house and headed straight for the Shiwan Mountains.
"Hey, Brother Wu, I haven't seen you for so many years. How come you are like this?"
In Shan County, a hundred miles away from Shuzhou City, two old men were sitting opposite each other in a private room of a tavern drinking.
One of them was the ragged-clothed Wu Tianqing, while the other old man had a rosy face and wore extremely complicated and luxurious clothes.
"I want to ask you something else."
Wu Tianqing held half a roast chicken in one hand and a roasted pig's trotter in the other, and mumbled incoherently while eating:
"What a talented swordsman Chang Shuan is, how come he is now dressed like a whorehouse pimp."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The old man named Chang Shu'an laughed twice. Instead of being angry, he drank a sip of wine with some satisfaction.
"You're right. Although I'm not a pimp, I opened a brothel in Yingzhou. It's called Yanchun and is quite famous."
"You? Open a brothel?"
Wu Tianqing even forgot to eat the roast chicken when he heard this. His eyes widened. "I remember you always said you wanted to spread the words of the saints to the world. Why are you doing this now?"
"Hey, it was because I was too young and full of energy, and my ambitions were too high."
Chang Shuan waved his hand: "I only found out about that shit later. Forget it, I won't say it anymore. Anyway, I'm pretty happy now."
"Come on, drink!"
Holding the pot in his right hand and holding his sleeves in his left hand, Chang Shuan poured a glass of wine for Wu Tianqing: "Brother Wu, what about you? Are you still staying on the island?"
"yes"
Wu Tianqing glanced at Chang Shuan's action, which was very scholarly, and sighed inwardly, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Except for the poor food, I'm pretty happy."
"Hahaha, your sister-in-law won't let you eat fish?"
Chang Shuan said with a smile: "Then you should eat more this time."
“It’s natural!”
Wu Tianqing threw aside the roast chicken with only bones left and started eating the roasted pig's trotters.
At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly knocked.
"Come in."
Chang Shuan responded, thinking it was the waiter who served the food.
But when he turned his head to look, his expression was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Li? Brother Lin? Brother He?"
"Hahaha, Brother Chang, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. How are you doing?"
The three people who walked in had smiles on their faces. Although they were of different heights, weights and bodies, they were all very old and had a subtle aura about them.
The five people in the room greeted each other enthusiastically, and the scene was a bit like the senior citizen activity center in their previous life.
But then another person came in from outside and froze this happy scene for a moment.
This person looks very strange.
He was wearing a black robe, a hood on his head, and carried a black scabbard on his back.
Although he has the face of a young man, his hair is silver-white; although his body is straight, his brows always give people a feeling of decadence.
Seeing this person coming in, the five old men looked at each other first, and then someone spoke up: "Mr. Xiao, now that we are here, you can tell us what you want us to do."
"But you have to understand that we were ordered to do only one thing for you."
"I see"
Xiao Feng took off his hood, his voice a little hoarse.
"After eight days, please help me kill someone."
