Chapter 168 Five days later, release the lanterns
Five days later.
Three days before the "decisive battle", Wei Changtian finally rushed back from the Shiwanda Mountains.
Qing Xian finally agreed to help him this time, and the price was to release all the big monsters over a hundred years old in the Monster Prison.
The Demon-Suppressing Prison is the only place in Daning where demons can be legally raised, and there are nearly a thousand demons imprisoned there.
Although most of them are small demons of several dozen years old, there are also dozens of big demons of more than a hundred years old, which are equivalent to the fourth-grade human realm.
If such a "collective jailbreak" of monsters were to occur, the consequences would be immeasurable.
But Wei Changtian had no choice.
It's not that he didn't bargain. He repeatedly emphasized that he did this to save Yang Liushi, and successfully changed the price from "release all monsters" at the beginning to "release all monsters with a cultivation of more than a hundred years."
But Qingxian would not agree to cut further.
With such a price paid in exchange for a second-grade demon king to take action, it is hard to say whether Wei Changtian made a profit or a loss in this transaction.
All I can say is—
If we can kill Xiao Feng, it will be a huge profit.
If I didn't kill Xiao Feng but managed to keep myself alive, that would be fine.
If I die, there will be no question of whether I lose or not.
Thinking about it this way, it seems like this deal is quite worthwhile! Preparations are still going on.
Wei Changtian didn't know what the situation was like on Xiao Feng's side, but what he could do was almost enough.
The Tianluo Sect has been dealt with, the Qingxian has been dealt with, and Zhang San has also delivered the letter to Wei Xianzhi.
Of course, it is still unknown whether Wei Zhaohai is willing to come, but Wei Changtian also understands that this is not something he can control.
Apart from the above, there is only Liang Zhen left.
At the hour of Xu, at the General’s Mansion.
"Changtian, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!"
Inside the study, Liang Zhen's mouth opened wide after listening to Wei Changtian's vivid story of "Meeting the Immortal in a Dream and Fighting for Fortune".
After Wei Changtian's further polishing, this story has become more rigorous and true, and he almost believed it.
"Alas, Uncle Liang, I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly."
Wei Changtian sighed and said solemnly, "I wanted to wait until I found out Xiao Feng's whereabouts before making any plans, but I never thought that he would take the initiative to attack me."
"this"
Liang Zhen calmed down and thought for a moment, then analyzed seriously, "Since Xiao Feng used Miss Liu Shi as bait to lure you into a decisive battle, he must think he has a sure win."
"Changtian, in my opinion, you'd better avoid the sharp edge this time and take a long-term view."
"Uncle Liang's words make sense. I have indeed thought so."
Wei Changtian paused, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "But the battle of our destiny is watched by the gods, so I should be prepared to sacrifice myself for the good!"
"If I take a step back today, I will probably take another step back in the future!"
"When two people meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. Uncle Liang, I am willing to give it a try!"
“.”
Although these bold words were illogical, they made Liang Zhen's blood boil.
When two armies fight, the most important thing is to lose the man rather than the formation. If the momentum is gone, the battle is doomed to fail.
As a military commander, Liang Zhen believed in this truth the most, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he slammed the table, stood up and made a bold statement.
"Changtian, since you have made your decision, I will do my best to help you!"
"Tonight I will gather troops from the Green Robe Army and ambush around Yanyun Mountain. No matter what schemes Xiao Feng has, I don't believe he can escape from the army!"
Good man, it would be fine if we just send troops to encircle and suppress them.
Seeing that Liang Zhen had misunderstood, Xiao Feng quickly explained: "Uncle Liang, I am not here to borrow troops."
"Once the Green Robe Army is dispatched, Xiao Feng will definitely notice their movements. You should know that this guy is extremely treacherous and cunning. He will definitely not abide by the ten-day agreement and turn around and run away."
"If this happens, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"
"That does make sense."
Liang Zhen nodded: "In that case, I will go with you. I will hide first, and when I see Xiao Feng, I will kill this villain for you, my nephew!"
“.”
This is the plan, but don't you think Xiao Feng is a good person? "Well, Uncle Liang, that's exactly what I plan to do."
Wei Changtian coughed dryly and told the whole story: "But in order to ensure that everything goes well, I have invited a few experts to go with us."
"Are there any other experts?"
Liang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, that's fine. Although we may not be able to use them, it's better to have them than not."
"Are these people reliable? What is their cultivation level?"
"Well, it is definitely reliable, as for the cultivation level."
Wei Changtian paused a little awkwardly.
Liang Zhen thought that the realms of the people Wei Changtian had brought were not very good, and he was too embarrassed to say anything, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, nephew, don't worry, I have a few lieutenants of the fourth level, I will take them with me when the time comes!"
"Uncle Liang, let's just forget about it."
Although he felt a little reluctant, Wei Changtian still said truthfully: "Two second-grade and four third-grade should be enough."
"Well, two twos."
Liang Zhen froze suddenly, his eyes widened.
"What?! Four third-grade ones and two, two second-grade ones???"
"Yeah, ah, that's not right."
Wei Changtian corrected him softly, "If you count Uncle Liang, that would be five third-grade masters, and there might be one more second-grade master."
“.”
"Uncle Liang, what's wrong with you?"
"Changtian, please go out first. I want to be alone."
"oh"
After bidding farewell to Liang Zhen, who was so inferior that he was a little autistic, Wei Changtian walked out of the study and immediately saw Liang Qin, who was sitting under a big tree and waiting for him.
"Brother Changtian!"
With a call, Liang Qin immediately ran over: "What did you say to Daddy? Why did I hear him shout just now?"
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Nothing, you must have heard it wrong."
"oh."
Liang Qin didn't take it to heart. As she walked out with Wei Changtian, she asked, "Brother Changtian, when will Miss Liu Shi come back from Anzhou?"
Yang Liushi went to Anzhou to visit relatives. This was a reason Wei Changtian made up before.
"It's probably three or four days."
Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged. He looked up at the moon and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Three or four days is just enough!"
Liang Qin said excitedly, "Five days from now it will be Laba Festival, and the city will be releasing lanterns!"
"Brother Changtian, can you and Miss Liushi accompany me to release the fireworks?"
Flying lanterns are what Kongming lanterns are called in this world.
Although life should have a sense of ritual, Wei Changtian has never liked to join in such fun in his past or present life.
There are so many festivals, what is the significance of others besides those that are holidays?
Couples celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day this year may be holding hands with someone else next year, and relatives and friends who celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival this year may be separated by the Yin and Yang next year. So, what difference does it make whether you celebrate it or not? "Changtian Ge"
On the other side, seeing that Wei Changtian didn't speak for a long time, Liang Qin thought he didn't hear it, so she asked again.
"Come on, tell me, is it okay or not?"
“.”
Wei Changtian withdrew his gaze, smiled and nodded.
"Okay, five days later, the three of us will go release the lanterns together."
