Chapter 489 You don’t deserve it!
The next day.
Xu Suisui is gone.
Not dead, but literally "left".
And she also took Shen Ran away.
Wei Changtian was actually somewhat helpless about this. After all, he had originally planned to rely on Shen Ran to "get free rides" on the luck of other Sons of Heaven.
But the latter was willing to leave with Xu Suisui, so it was difficult for him to stop him.
"Young Master."
"Miss Xu and Master Shen have already left Shu Realm and are heading north."
Outside the county jail, Chu Xianping asked softly, "Do we still need to send people to keep an eye on them?"
“.”
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Changtian shook his head: "No need, just let them go."
"yes."
Looking at Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping nodded.
Although he didn't know much about Xu Suisui, he could see how complicated Wei Changtian's mood was at the moment.
Chu Xianping understood that Xu Suisui must hold a special position in Wei Changtian's heart, but he just didn't understand why the two of them became enemies.
Until Wei Changtian suddenly added calmly.
"By the way, there's no need to investigate the note any further."
Hmm? Chu Xianping's eyes widened slightly, and a guess immediately emerged in his mind.
However, he did not ask any further questions. He just nodded silently again and ordered the two jailers behind him:
"Open the cell door."
The dark and cramped cell was only a few square meters in size, with the dirty floor covered with equally dirty straw. There was no bed, no windows, and the environment was extremely dirty and terrible.
When the jailer slowly opened the cell door, Wei Changtian was even choked by the sour smell that came out of it.
He frowned subconsciously and looked up at the man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cell.
This was the second time Wei Changtian and You Wenzon met, but their situations had been reversed.
Especially You Wenzon, who not only went from a third-rank official to a prisoner, but also soon had to take the blame for Han Zhao and became a spy of the Wei family, condemned by the people of Daning.
Such a gap is undoubtedly huge. If it were someone else, they would have collapsed long ago.
But You Wenzon was unusually calm now, and even nodded actively after seeing Wei Changtian.
"Master Wei, we meet again."
“.”
Hmm? Is his mental quality so strong? Wei Changtian muttered to himself, then stepped into the cell and waved behind him.
"Brother Chu, I want to talk to Lord You alone."
"Yes, sir."
Chu Xianping bowed slightly and quickly left with two jailers, leaving behind only a dim oil lamp.
Holding the oil lamp, Wei Changtian did not mind the dirty thatch on the ground. He just sat down opposite You Wenzon and responded to the latter's words with a smile.
"Yes, Master You, we meet again."
“.”
"Cough, cough, cough, cough"
The dim red light reluctantly fell on You Wenzon's pale face. In the semi-darkness, he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed twice.
After the cough, there was still calm self-mockery.
"Prince Wei"
"Although I had doubts several times, I didn't expect that General Han was actually your man."
"As for the thunderbolt that night, I don't know how you managed it, but I think it must have required complicated preparations."
"It seems that you have long been planning to end the battle of Shuzhou at Niutou Mountain."
"With such a series of schemes, it's not unfair for me to lose."
“.”
It was obvious that You Wenzong had roughly guessed the overall plan of the battle of Shuzhou.
Just admit it if you lose. His words now are undoubtedly very casual.
However, Wei Changtian did not have the slightest intention of "heroes cherishing heroes". Instead, he sneered and shook his head.
"Haha, Master You."
"You didn't lose unfairly?"
"I think you think too highly of yourself."
Under You Wenzong's gaze, Wei Changtian continued with a disdainful tone:
"In the battle of Shuzhou, my opponent is Ning Yongnian, not you."
"The loser is Ning Yongnian, not you."
"Master You, I have something unpleasant to say."
"You are such a nobody, you don't even have the qualifications to play chess with me, how can you talk about winning or losing?"
“.”
You are not even qualified to play against me.
The sarcasm and contempt in this sentence are beyond words, it can be said to be a naked humiliation.
It feels quite similar to the joke in my previous life -
The savior found the abandoned goddess and said that he could accept everything about her, but in the end he only got the reply "You are not worthy of raising his child."
This is undoubtedly sad.
What's even more sad is that the "goddess" is the object of licking, and there is nothing wrong with saying this.
Because "Party A" never needs to consider the feelings of "Party B".
Just like Wei Changtian at this moment, as a winner and a chess player, he doesn't need to care about the feelings of You Wenzon, the chess piece.
What's more, he was intentionally trying to provoke You Wenzong.
"Why? Master You, do you think what I said is wrong?"
Glancing at You Wenzong who remained silent, Wei Changtian chuckled and said, "But I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
"You are just a third-rank military minister. You can't even stand in the front row during court."
"There are plenty of people like you in Daning, so why do you think you can play against me?"
“.”
The two consecutive heart-piercing questions left You Wenzong speechless for a long time.
Strictly speaking, the third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War is already considered a very high official position, and the person who can reach this position is definitely not an ordinary person.
Therefore, it was impossible for You Wen Zong not to be angry now that Wei Changtian had described him as worthless.
But he had no way to refute it.
After all, compared with Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian, he is indeed just a small figure who cannot be on the stage.
But "Master Wei."
"If you came here today just to ridicule me, then I have nothing to say."
After a long silence, You Wenzong suddenly raised his head slowly, looked at Wei Changtian and said word by word: "But I think that's not all you want to say, sir."
“.”
“It’s natural.”
The sneer faded away, and Wei Changtian's expression finally became serious.
If You Wenzong's reaction just now was anger and humiliation, he might not have said the next words and would probably have just killed the former and been done with it.
It was precisely because You Wenzong remained calm enough despite being so humiliated that he made up his mind to recruit this man for his own use.
"Master You, I think you have already guessed it, so I won't waste any more words."
"Under Ning Yongnian's command, the best you can achieve in your lifetime is a Minister of War."
"But with me, you can immediately take office as the Prime Minister of Shu."
"Yes, my Shu Kingdom now only has one state."
"But now that the imperial army has been defeated, I'm sure you know what the situation in Daning will be like in the future."
"I sincerely want to invite you to work with me to accomplish something great, but I don't know if you are willing."
Wei Changtian casually broke off a piece of straw and fiddled with the wick of the oil lamp while saying the last sentence.
"Are you willing to get rid of being a chess piece and become a real chess player?"
