Chapter 333 Du Chang
The next morning.
At the hour of Mao, several horse-drawn carriages had already stopped at the entrance of Longmen Inn. Wei Changtian and others who were having breakfast could set off back to Fengyuan at any time.
However, it was still half an hour before Chenshi, so Wei Changtian was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he prepared to wait and see whether the young horse bandit from yesterday would bring him any surprises.
"Master, what time did you come back last night?"
After taking a bite of the pancake and a sip of the hot porridge, Wei Changtian asked casually, "What did that person ask you to do?"
"Nothing."
Old Zhang replied with some doubt: "After we arrived at Xiyang City, he just let me go to an inn alone, and then quietly sent me back."
“.”
Using Old Zhang as bait, he could lure the assassins out to gather intelligence, and then track them down? That's it?
Wei Changtian pouted, feeling somewhat disappointed.
He had thought that the young horse bandit would have some clever ideas, but in the end, this was all he got.
It turns out that not everyone has a brain like Chu Xianping.
"knew."
Nodded and stopped thinking about it.
Wei Changtian tilted his head back and drank all the porridge in the bowl, then watched Li Wutong eat with interest.
The latter was eating with great relish, but when he saw her like that, he suddenly felt his throat seemed to have shrunk a lot, and he had to swallow a mouthful of porridge several times before it could completely enter his stomach.
"You, look at what I'm doing!"
After reluctantly drinking another half bowl of porridge, Li Wutong finally couldn't stand Wei Changtian's gaze anymore, put down the bowl and spat in a low voice: "Shameless!"
"hehe."
Wei Changtian did not feel embarrassed. He smiled, looked away and turned to look at Agou.
The little girl was not as thin-skinned as Li Wutong. Not only was she not embarrassed, but she ate even bigger mouthfuls, as if she was intentionally showing off her appetite to Wei Changtian.
"Agou, eat less."
After watching for a while, Wei Changtian advised worriedly: "With the way you eat, be careful not to get too fat and unable to get married in the future."
"Hmm?"
Ah Gou was stunned for a moment, then he blinked and asked, "Big Brother, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true."
"oh."
Ah Gou nodded and answered seriously: "Then I don't want to get married."
"???"
My goodness, shouldn’t you have said “Then I won’t eat it”?
Wei Changtian laughed dumbly and teased deliberately: "But if a girl doesn't get married when she grows up, she will be eaten by monsters."
"Brother, you are lying."
It was obvious that Ah Gou was not so easy to fool. Facing Wei Changtian's "threat", he immediately gave an example to refute: "Sister Wutong never got married, and she was not eaten by a monster."
“.”
Li Wutong's hand holding the bowl suddenly shook.
Wei Changtian glanced at her and said nothing, but Ah Gou asked curiously, "Big Brother, have you found a wife?"
"Yes." Wei Changtian nodded.
"ah!"
Ah Gou asked excitedly: "How many did you get?"
"Um"
Several faces appeared in Wei Changtian's mind.
Lu Jingyao, Xu Qingwan, Yang Liushi, if you don't count Qiuyun and Yuan'er, "three."
"Wow! Big Brother, you actually got so many wives!"
When Ah Gou heard this, he immediately admired her: "How amazing!"
"Hey, those who are capable should do more work."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and made another joke. Although Agou didn't understand, Old Zhang and Li Wutong next to him understood the meaning.
In an instant, the expressions of both of them turned very ugly.
Li Wutong, in particular, was so angry that he accidentally choked on his porridge.
"cough!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Hmm? Princess, are you okay?"
Wei Changtian looked at Li Wutong's slightly flushed face and joked, "Just eat well and don't think about anything messy."
"you!"
Li Wutong suppressed the discomfort in her throat, stared with eyes wide open and struggled, "I, I don't need you to care about me!!!"
Half an hour later.
After "eating and drinking their fill", the crowd boarded the carriage, preparing to go to the charity cemetery in Xiyang Prefecture first to take Wang Qian's ashes with them, and then return directly to Fengyuan.
"Princess."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a guard respectfully asked, "Can we set off now?"
"You ask him!"
Li Wutong turned his head away angrily and stopped talking, and the guard turned his gaze to Wei Changtian as usual.
"Prince Wei"
"What time is it now?"
"My lord, it is just past noon."
"good."
He nodded and looked into the distance again.
Wei Changtian was just about to give the order to set off, but at this moment he heard a faint sound of horse hooves.
This is He narrowed his eyes, looked at the dust that suddenly appeared at the end of his sight, and temporarily held back the second half of his sentence.
Soon, dozens of mounted officers reined in their horses and stopped not far away, led by the young horse bandit from yesterday.
“Ouch!!”
He dismounted and walked to the front of the carriage in two steps. Then he knelt on one knee without hesitation and shouted, "Master Wei, I have fulfilled my mission!"
Huh? Did they actually find out the whereabouts of those assassins?
Wei Changtian was stunned, slowly lifted the small curtain on the car window, and was just about to speak.
But in the next moment, his pupils suddenly dilated slightly.
"thump!"
“Plop, plop!”
More than a dozen burly men who were tied up were escorted by the officers to the front of the carriage, and then they were all forced to kneel on the ground with their necks pinned down.
It took only fifty people to complete the task in one night.
Not only did they find out the whereabouts of these assassins, but they also captured them all alive.
“.”
The surprise on his face gradually faded. Wei Changtian looked at the young man who was still kneeling on one knee and slowly asked, "What's your name?"
"Reply, young master!"
The young man raised his head, and there was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
"My name is Du Chang!"
At noon, several carriages finally drove slowly away from Longmen Inn and headed towards Xiyang City.
Since Du Chang "unexpectedly" captured the group of assassins, everyone spent some more time and briefly interrogated them.
Wei Changtian already knew that they were sent by Pei Dajun, so after making sure that they did not know Bai Youheng, he ordered them all to be killed.
We must not be merciful at this time.
What's more, it can be regarded as revenge for Wang Qian.
At dusk, the group arrived at Xiyang Prefecture, went to the charity cemetery to retrieve Wang Qian's urn, had a quick meal in the city, and then continued westward on their way back to Fengyuan.
Wei Changtian was away from Fengyuan for eight days this time, which was shorter than expected, and everything went quite smoothly.
Not only did they receive Lao Zhang and Agou safely, but they also got an "unexpected gain" and gained a capable and capable person.
Since Du Chang never appeared in the original novel, Wei Changtian was not as confident in him as he was in Chu Xianping, and planned to let him eat a puppet pill when he had the chance in the future.
If we put aside the issue of "loyalty", Du Chang does have abilities that are no less than Chu Xianping.
However, his working style seems to be different from Chu Xianping's.
Although the latter acts decisively and rationally, if there are multiple solutions to a problem, Chu Xianping will most likely choose the most "correct" one.
But Du Chang would definitely choose the simplest one.
In most cases, "simple" means "whatever it takes".
