Chapter 321: The last words that make people feel like they are falling into an icy cave
"W-what?!"
Upon hearing that this person might be the mysterious swordsman from sixty years ago, Li Wutong could no longer hide the surprise on his face.
"Master Wei, are you telling the truth?!"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "But this is just my guess for now. Everything can only be figured out after he arrives."
"Okay! I got it!"
Li Wutong's breathing became more and more rapid, and he even forgot to call himself "this palace".
But she soon noticed something was wrong.
"Master Wei, that swordsman's skills are unparalleled in the world, yet you said he might be in danger?"
Li Wutong asked suspiciously, "But I don't know how dangerous it is?"
"Well, let alone being unrivaled in the world, his strength is probably not even as good as one of your guards, Princess."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "It's a long story. I'll tell you about it when I have the chance."
“.”
If you have a chance in the future, you will never have another chance.
Li Wutong certainly understood the meaning of Wei Changtian's words, so the dissatisfaction in his heart rose again.
Humph! As if no one would want to listen! "If Master Wei doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I don't want to know either."
The cold expression returned to her face and she sat down on the chair with her skirt gathered.
Li Wutong acted arrogant for a while, then glanced at Wei Changtian and asked:
"But since Master Wei knows about this, he must be very familiar with the swordsman."
"Well, not bad."
Thinking back to that old man who was always drunk and cheated people with Go all day, Wei Changtian suddenly rolled his eyes and changed his words:
"We don't know each other at all."
"Really?"
Li Wutong was stunned and finally found an opportunity to ridicule Wei Changtian.
"I think so too."
"As the saying goes, a good horse cannot be paired with a weak donkey, and a phoenix cannot be paired with sparrows."
"No matter what the swordsman looks like now, he was previously an unrivaled master and a hero with the world in his heart."
"Such a dragon among men would not mix with someone like you, Master Wei."
"Master Wei, I am outspoken, I hope you can forgive me."
“.”
Good man, you really can't stand any loss.
Wei Changtian knew that Li Wutong was still resenting his cruelty to her, but after all, he was the one who "hurt" her yesterday, so for the first time in his life he did not fight back, but just smiled and stopped talking.
As we all know, the most annoying thing is to encounter someone who doesn't talk back when you are quarreling.
It was like a punch hitting cotton. When Li Wutong saw that Wei Changtian ignored him, he felt even more upset.
"Master Wei, you..."
She quickly organized her words and prepared to launch a second attack immediately.
However, just as he started to say this, an imperial physician came out hurriedly from the next room.
"Master Wei, Your Highness the Princess."
"Master Pei is awake!"
Although Pei Dajun woke up, it didn't mean he was fine.
On the contrary, according to the imperial physician, he now has at most half a quarter of an hour to live, and the reason he is able to open his eyes and speak now is entirely because of the last breath he has received due to the effect of the medicine.
Of course, Wei Changtian has a system, so he can naturally save him.
But who would be crazy enough to save the enemy's life?
"Master Pei, tell me, how did you contact Yan Luo?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and said in an extremely cold tone: "If you are willing to tell the truth, I will give you a quick death later."
"If you don't tell me, I don't mind letting you experience what it feels like to be unable to die before you die."
"You are going to die anyway, so there is no need to work for Yan Luo anymore."
“.”
Time is running out and there are many questions to ask.
Wei Changtian didn't have time to talk about trivial things and went straight to the point.
But Pei Dajun's reaction was far beyond his expectations.
“Who are you?”
"Yan Luo. Why can I contact Yan Luo?"
"???"
What's going on? Amnesia? Or is he pretending?
Seeing Pei Dajun's performance, Wei Changtian couldn't help but be stunned.
He had expected Pei Dajun to refuse to speak, but he did not expect this to happen.
"Master Pei! You are already about to die, what's the point of acting like this?!"
His tone suddenly became heavier, and Wei Changtian shouted in a deep voice: "I advise you not to do these useless things, and quickly tell us everything you know about Yan Luo, maybe you can save the reputation of your Pei family!"
"Yan, Yan Luo."
Looking at the "ferocious" Wei Changtian, Pei Dajun's breathing became more rapid and his expression became more painful.
"I, I don't know, I really don't know."
"I, I just seemed to have had a dream, a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from."
Nightmare?
Wei Changtian was stunned and suddenly thought of something.
"What did you dream about?"
“.”
This question seemed to touch a nerve in Pei Dajun. His eyes suddenly widened and his voice suddenly became extremely terrified.
"Dead people! They were all killed by me!!"
"They surrounded me and kept asking me why I wanted to kill them!!"
"He, they cried in front of me and laughed in front of me!!"
"I want to escape, but I can't move my body!!!"
The cry filled with fear was extremely creepy. Pei Dajun's body was shaking wildly, and the bandaged wound began to bleed again.
And Wei Changtian now finally believed that he was not pretending.
It seems that Pei Dajun did not break free from the illusion of his inner demons like himself, but has been trapped in it until now.
"well"
Looking at the crazy appearance of the man, Wei Changtian sighed in his heart.
To be able to sit in the position of the second-in-command of the night watchmen, Pei Dajun was definitely the kind of person who could remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis and had a strong psychological endurance.
But such a man was tortured by his inner demons to his current state. One can imagine what he experienced in the illusion.
Wei Changtian understood that Pei Dajun probably knew nothing right now, so after thinking for a moment, he asked the only question that might get an answer.
"Master Pei!"
"Tell me what happened before you had this dream?!"
“.”
"Before that."
Pei Dajun's body slowly stopped shaking, and his voice became steady from crazy.
This was not because he had calmed down, but because he was very close to death.
Although Pei Dajun does not recognize Wei Changtian now, he has basically lost the ability to think independently, so he still instinctively thinks about this question in the last moments of his life.
What happened before the nightmare came? "I, I saw"
“Yes, someone.”
The already confused thoughts in his brain had almost come to a standstill. No matter how Pei Dajun tried to recall, that blurry picture was still difficult to see.
"Is it Bai Youheng?!"
At this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly spoke up to remind him.
Bai Youheng. "Boom!"
When this name rang in my ears, the last scene before falling into the nightmare finally became clear for a moment.
"Yes, it's Bai Youheng!"
Pei Dajun's pupils suddenly became the size of beans. He opened his mouth as if he was saying something, but his voice was almost nonexistent.
Wei Changtian immediately leaned over and put his ear close to Pei Dajun's constantly opening and closing mouth, and finally heard the latter's last words before his death.
It was this sentence that made Wei Changtian feel as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar in the dead of winter. It was freezing cold and he even wondered if he was still trapped in the nightmare created by Yama and had not woken up yet.
"There's one more person."
"Yes, he is the emperor of Daning."
"Ning, Ning Yongnian"
