Chapter 644 You can’t have children!
Wei Changtian and his party returned to Liangzhou at noon the next day.
Liang Zhen had already mobilized a large number of troops to surround the mountain temple with three layers inside and three layers outside. After picking them up, he went straight back to Liangzhou City.
Although Wei Changtian had recovered a lot, he still had some injuries on his body that had not healed yet. He needed to rest for a few days, so he lived in the provincial government office.
Su Xiu and Yan Huanwen were imprisoned separately in the prison, and the interrogation began that night.
Of course, the subjects of interrogation are mainly the latter.
As the emperor of Dajue, Yan Huanwen naturally knew a lot about the situation of the Jue-Ji coalition forces, including but not limited to the military system, strategic deployment, marching routes, etc.
As long as they could pry him open, the intelligence they would obtain would undoubtedly be of great help in the impending war.
What's more, his identity itself is extremely valuable.
Wei Changtian didn't know how the Dajue royal family would deal with this "Emperor being kidnapped" incident, but no matter whether they decided to continue fighting or negotiate a ceasefire, Yan Huanwen was his most important bargaining chip at the moment.
That was why he spared the latter's life.
And to interrogate such an important person, naturally it has to be the "professional" Wei Zhaohai himself.
“.”
"Changtian, how do you feel?"
The next morning, Wei Zhaohai had just come out of prison and went straight to Wei Changtian who was having breakfast.
"Grandpa? Why are you here?"
Wei Changtian put down his bowl and chopsticks with a smile: "Have you had breakfast? It's a good opportunity for us to eat together."
"Um."
Wei Zhaohai nodded and sat down, and immediately a maid brought a set of bowls and chopsticks.
While the maid was serving the porridge, he turned around and said, "Changtian, Sect Leader Zuo and the others will be leaving soon. If you are not seriously ill, come with me to see them off."
"Are they leaving now?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "Why not take a few more days off?"
"They are both clan leaders and important officials in the court. They don't have so much time to waste."
Wei Zhaohai smiled and said, "But I have nothing to do for now, so I will stay in Liangzhou to help you interrogate Yan Huanwen before leaving."
"Thank you for your help, Grandpa. I will go with you to see Sect Leader Zuo and the others off after dinner."
Nodding, Wei Changtian did not take this little thing to heart, but asked in a low voice:
"Grandpa, how was Yan Huanwen's trial?"
"Alas, I still haven't spoken yet."
Wei Zhaohai sighed softly, but his expression did not look very sad.
He once served as the commander of the Xuan Jing Division and had seen many stubborn prisoners.
What's more, Yan Huanwen is the king of a country with a shrewdness and willpower far beyond that of ordinary people. It is normal that he didn't say a word after only one night of interrogation.
"It's okay. We have the person in our hands anyway. There's no need to rush."
On the other side, Wei Changtian obviously had the same idea. He said it casually and then asked while eating:
"By the way, Grandpa, how do you think the Dajue royal family will deal with this matter? Will they send someone to talk to us?"
"I'm afraid not."
Wei Zhaohai waved his hand to signal the people waiting in the room to leave, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"It is said that the prince of Dajue, Yan Huaiqing, is quite talented. Not only is he good at both civil and military affairs, but his words carry some weight in the court."
"He should be very clear that if we want to negotiate, we will definitely ask Dajue to withdraw its troops."
"But since they have been preparing for this war for so long and are coming with such a fierce force, if we just don't fight, even if Yan Huaiqing agrees, the other three countries will never agree."
"Besides, this may not necessarily be a bad thing for him."
Not necessarily a bad thing.
As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Changtian immediately understood what Wei Zhaohai meant.
"Grandpa, are you saying that Yan Huaiqing might lie and say that Yan Huanwen is dead?"
"Um."
Wei Zhaohai nodded: "Not many people know what happened the night before. Yan Huaiqing could easily break Yan Huanwen's life tablet and then ascend the throne legitimately."
"Even if we spread the news and even make Yan Huanwen show up, he will have plenty of ways to cover it up."
"Abandoning Yan Huanwen and taking the position himself may be the best choice for Yan Huaiqing."
“Makes sense”
Nodding slightly, Wei Changtian thought for a long time before slowly saying,
"Grandpa, in this case, we'd better spread the news that Yan Huanwen was kidnapped by us before he makes a decision."
"Even if we can't stop him from ascending the throne, we can at least give him some trouble."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Wei Zhaohai gently put down his chopsticks and said, "If you agree, I will send a message to your father and ask the spies of Xuanjing Division and Zhanshi Mansion in Dajue to spread the news."
"Okay, let's do it."
Wei Changtian did not hesitate any longer and quickly finalized the matter.
But just as he was about to continue eating, he found that Wei Zhaohai was still looking at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Grandpa, what else?"
“.”
"Changtian, I do have one small matter to discuss with you."
"A small matter?"
After a moment of pause, Wei Changtian was just about to say something with a smile.
However, the next second, when Wei Zhaohai said the second sentence, the smile on his face slowly froze.
"Changtian, Liu Shi is a fox demon."
"I already know that."
“.”
Wei Zhaohai knew that Yang Liushi was a fox demon???
How did he know??
Did Yang Liushi say it on her own initiative? Or damn, it couldn't be Su Xiu who said it! Shit! I forgot about it The dining hall was silent for a while, and Wei Changtian's expression changed several times.
It was obvious that Wei Zhaohai was not deceiving him, but had really confirmed Yang Liushi's identity as a fox demon.
However, judging from the former's expression, although it seems a bit serious, it doesn't seem that ugly.
For a moment, Wei Changtian felt a lot more relaxed.
He didn't ask Wei Zhaohai how he knew it, nor did he continue to hide it. He just smiled and nodded.
"Um, Grandpa, this matter is my fault."
"I was afraid that you would not allow Liu Shi to marry me after you knew about this, so I let her..."
"Okay, it's already like this, what's the point of worrying about right or wrong."
With a wry smile and a wave of his hand, Wei Zhaohai interrupted, "Sect Master Zuo and the other three also know about this, but I have already talked to them privately, and I believe they will not deny the Wei family this face."
"I have also made arrangements with Su Xiu, and she will not say anything more about this matter."
"As for you, I don't know how many people know Liu Shi's identity, but you must be more careful."
"Kill those who should be killed, warn those who should be warned, in short, don't let this matter get out."
"Since everyone in the world knows that you have taken Liu Shi as your concubine, this is the only way to stay like this for now."
“.”
After Wei Zhaohai finished speaking, his face was filled with helplessness as if he was "wiping the ass for the younger generation".
Wei Changtian was overjoyed and stood up immediately.
"Thank you for your help, Grandpa!"
"My grandson will be extremely careful in the future and will never let this leak out!"
Obviously, after learning that Wei Zhaohai had no intention of breaking up the couple, Wei Changtian finally felt relieved.
But before he could relax for long, Wei Zhaohai sighed heavily again.
"Hey, don't be happy too soon."
"Changtian, Liu Shi can stay in the Wei family, but she must not get pregnant with your child."
"If you don't listen to my advice and hide the fact that you really have a child from me."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Even if this child is born, I will never allow him to have the surname Wei, and he will never be allowed to enter the Wei family tree."
"Unless you no longer acknowledge me as your great-grandfather, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."
