Chapter 245 Unexpected Gains
When Wei Changtian learned from Wei Yanyu that the traitor was Xu Chengwen, half an hour had passed since the imperial court withdrew its troops.
Wei Changtian didn’t know how to comfort Wei Yanyu, and he had no intention of comforting her at all.
I am sorry for your loss?
Good kill?
Mr. Xu also has his own difficulties?
None of them seem appropriate.
"Madam Wei, now you know whether what I said before is true or false."
After a moment of silence, Wei Changtian got straight to the point: "Then should Madam fulfill her promise?"
“It’s natural.”
Wei Yanyu nodded. His left arm that was burned by the fire had been bandaged, so it seemed that nothing serious would happen.
"Within ten days, the evidence of the Liu family's conspiracy to rebel will be delivered to Ning Yongnian. As for whether Ning Yongnian believes it or not, it depends on your ability."
“And this knife.”
As he spoke, Wei Yanyu waved behind him, and immediately someone handed him a knife box.
There were three long swords inserted in the scabbard, with only the handles sticking out.
Wei Changtian's eyes lit up and he took the knife case from Wei Yanyu.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"No need to thank me, sir."
Wei Yanyu shook his head and said calmly: "My Xu family has been doing business for hundreds of years, and we understand the principle of keeping our word best."
"good."
Wei Changtian did not draw his sword, nor did he say any more polite words. He just gently put the scabbard aside.
"Madam, since the imperial court has temporarily withdrawn its troops, we will also return to Shuzhou tomorrow."
"It is my great honor to meet you, Madam. I hope I can have the opportunity to meet you again in the future."
“.”
See you later.
This sentence can be understood as blessing the Xu family to defeat the imperial court as soon as possible, or it can be understood that the Wei family still left a way out for the Xu family -
If you really can't win, you can still escape to Shuzhou.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I don't deserve it."
Wei Yanyu paused after saying this politely, then looked at Wei Changtian and said seriously, "Master Wei, please forgive my rude words."
"Now my Xu family has become a traitor. If the Liu family falls again, there will only be one Wei left under the Ning family."
"Ning Yongnian is currently burdened by the situation in the northwest, and he really can't spare the attention to take care of too many things."
"But what about later?"
"I'm afraid that sooner or later, the imperial court will take action against the Wei family."
"So, Sir, do you really not consider taking this opportunity to strike first?"
"If our two families join forces, even if we cannot enter the capital to become emperor, we can at least occupy half of Daning. Then."
"lady."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian interrupted and said, "No need to say more."
“.”
Wei Yanyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Forget it, I won't persuade you anymore, I just hope you will consider it."
"Yes, I will."
Wei Changtian replied indifferently and stood up with the knife case in hand.
"Madam, I believe you still have things to take care of, so I won't bother you any more."
"Goodbye."
"good"
Wei Yanyu then stood up and bowed.
"Master Wei, we'll meet again later."
“.”
After two brief goodbyes, Wei Changtian turned and walked out of the tea room, left Xu Mansion with Qin Zhengqiu who was waiting outside the door, and took a carriage back to Ruyi Inn.
He didn't know whether he would see Wei Yanyu again in the future, but he thought the probability was not high.
Wei Changtian no longer has any intention of getting involved in the conflicts between Ning Yongnian and the Xu family, and between Daning and Dafeng.
Well, at least that's his subjective will.
As for whether the fate will drag him into this vortex again, that is another matter and will be told later.
Anyway, the purpose of this trip to Jizhou has been achieved so far.
And there were unexpected gains.
"Clang clang~"
Wei Changtian casually pulled out a long sword from the scabbard, flicked the blade with his fingers, and nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't know whether these three swords were the most valuable treasures of the Xu family, but in the original novel, this was what Xiao Feng gained after destroying the Xu family.
So when Wei Changtian got the information and took the initiative in the negotiations, he added the three swords as bargaining chips.
This was also the first time he obtained a high-grade divine weapon besides the Xuantian Sword.
"Notes on Ancient and Modern Times·Vehicles and Clothing": The Emperor of Wu had three precious swords, one was called Bailian, the second was called Qingdu, and the third was called Louying.
[Bai Lian: Sword (Xuan level), steel is tempered a hundred times, never damaged, 200 points]
[Green Calf: Sword (Xuan level), the strength of raising a feather is like nine oxen, 200 points]
[Leaking Shadow: Knife (Xuan Level), invisible and shadowless, silent and edgeless, 200 points]
He looked at all three swords with great pleasure and put them all into their star scabbards, leaving only the handle of the "Leaking Shadow" sword exposed.
This means that Wei Changtian has decided to mainly use the Leaking Shadow Knife in the future.
As for why, it's simple, because the Leakage Shadow sword looks the best among these three swords.
The next day.
Wei Changtian and his group left Jizhou City early in the morning.
Just as Chu Xianping had said before, although the imperial army was stationed more than ten miles outside the city and there were many spies around the city, it was still very easy to leave quietly.
They crossed forests and mountains, bypassed the not-so-tight encirclement of the imperial army, and arrived at Shanggu County, about a few hundred miles away from Jizhou City, at dusk.
He did not stay in the county, but bought three horse-drawn carriages and continued his journey towards Shuzhou via Yuanzhou.
Compared to the way we came here, it was a bit of a detour. We would probably be back in Shuzhou City in four days.
"Da Da! Da Da!"
The sound of horse hooves was rapid and clear in my ears, and the sky had completely darkened.
The fields at the foot of the mountain were blurry and unclear, with houses and wisps of smoke occasionally dotted in the distance, like fishing lights flickering on the sea.
After running all day, everyone was somewhat tired, so no one had time to appreciate the scenery. At this moment, everyone sat down with their eyes closed to rest.
Wei Changtian finally had time to pull out a wrinkled old book from his arms. On the cover were two small words that were difficult to recognize:
Omen of the day.
It was a book on swordsmanship. Before leaving in the morning, Agou came and gave it to him, saying that it was ordered by Old Zhang.
However, Wei Changtian was in a hurry to travel at that time, so he just glanced at it casually, and put it away after not finding any relevant information in the system.
After all, if it can't be found in the system, it means that the sword technique is not up to standard and there is no need to practice it at all.
Alas, Old Zhang is so lame, there is nothing interesting here. Sighing secretly, Wei Changtian opened the sword manual and prepared to take another look.
I'm free anyway, so I might as well do it to kill time.
There was nothing on the first page, just ten words written from top to bottom:
Carrying the moon on his shoulders, his body shines brightly in all directions.
Well, it's quite meaningful, but I don't know how it relates to the word "Zhao Ri".
Pursing his lips, Wei Changtian was just about to continue reading the second page, but his hand that was turning the book suddenly stopped.
After a moment of hesitation, he called up the system interface with a try-it-out mentality, and then tried to search for "Picking the Moon" in the sword technique column. [Picking the Moon Sword: Sword Technique (Immortal), no description yet, purchase permission not yet enabled]
