Chapter 662: The Invisible Battlefield (VII)
There was not a breath of wind in the room. The heat from the charcoal fire enveloped Yan Huaiqing as if it were solidified, causing beads of sweat to appear on his forehead without him knowing when.
His eyes were wide open, and his rapid breathing was clearly heard by everyone, filled with strong fear.
There is no doubt that what Wei Changtian just said was too heartbreaking.
Not only did it completely push Yan Huanwen and Yan Huaiqing to the opposite side, but it also took the initiative in the peace talks in one fell swoop.
If I kill you and cooperate with your father, I can still achieve my goal.
So you are totally dispensable in my eyes.
In the face of the sudden change, Yan Huaiqing didn't have time to think too much and almost subconsciously believed Wei Changtian's words.
As for whether this matter is true or false, it is obviously false.
Although Wei Changtian had not talked to Yan Huanwen, Wei Zhaohai had proposed similar conditions to the latter.
But Yan Huanwen refused without even thinking about it.
One of the reasons might be that he did not expect Yan Huaiqing to be so heartless and never thought about saving him.
It is also possible that he hated Wei Changtian too much and was willing to make Wei Changtian pay the price even at the risk of his own death.
Or maybe some other reason.
In short, Yan Huanwen never reached any deal with Wei Changtian.
Therefore, what Wei Changtian just said was actually a complete lie.
But it's a lie that sounds completely plausible.
With Yan Huaiqing's intelligence, he should have some doubts about this after he calms down.
He didn't even have to guess. He could discover the truth by just asking Tang Chen to use his mind reading skill again.
It’s a pity that since Wei Changtian has already done this, he will definitely not give Tang Chen a third chance to read his mind.
And he also wanted to use this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and directly break down Yan Huaiqing's psychological defenses.
"Your Highness, why are you silent? Do you regret coming to this Purple Mountain Palace?"
"Do you think that if there were no peace talks today, everything would be fine?"
Without pausing for too long, Wei Changtian quickly smiled at Yan Huaiqing, who was sweating profusely, and said lightly:
"Then I can only tell you with regret, no matter whether we negotiate or not, no matter what you do, I can kill you anytime I want."
"You should know a lot about me. You've heard that I can kill a second-grade enemy with one move."
"But to be honest, I have more tricks than you can imagine."
"In my eyes, you are nothing more than an ant that can be easily crushed to death."
"So, do you know how I felt when I saw you looking so smug and complacent just now?"
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian sneered at Yan Huaiqing's shocked and angry eyes:
"hehe."
"It's really pathetic and ridiculous."
“.”
Both pitiful and ridiculous.
Wei Changtian's six words only expressed one meaning, that is, looking down and teasing from top to bottom.
It's pitiful because you are weak.
It's funny because you are weak and don't know it.
These two words and their meaning were undoubtedly a great insult to Yan Huaiqing, a prince of a country, and made his face turn red in an instant.
He stood up suddenly, his clenched fists trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with indescribable anger like flames.
However, Wei Changtian still sat calmly on the chair and reached out to pick up the teacup that Li Zimu had just put down.
"Your Highness, I know you have made a lot of preparations for today's peace talks, and you thought you could gain some advantage from me."
"Now that everything has become in vain, I naturally feel unwilling."
"But in my opinion, what you did is too childish."
Having said that, Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at Tang Chen, who had a heavy expression on his face.
"Just because you found someone like this, you think you have a sure win?"
"Yes, this man is indeed quite useful in dealing with those spies in the army."
"But in front of me, he is just an ant like you."
"Why? Don't you believe it?"
Wei Changtian lowered his eyes and no longer looked at Yan Huaiqing who was trembling all over.
He simply raised the teacup to his lips and said calmly, "Your Highness, don't you firmly believe in what Master Tang said?"
"Then let him tell you himself."
“.”
Amidst everyone's different but extremely complex gazes of astonishment, confusion, fear, bewilderment, etc., Wei Changtian lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
And just as the tea was in his mouth, Tang Chen on the opposite side suddenly opened his eyes wide as if he had seen some ferocious ghost, and his hands also trembled violently in an instant.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat. His body instinctively wanted to step back, but he forgot that he was still sitting on the chair.
“Pah! Kuacha!!”
“Plop!”
The wooden chair overturned, bringing down the tea table and breaking the teacups all over the floor.
Tang Chen fell to the ground in a mess, no longer as calm and composed as before.
He didn't even bother to wipe the few drops of tea off his face. He just stared at Wei Changtian like a wooden chicken, his eyes full of fear.
A golden-scaled dragon, a scarlet flying fish, a black panther with eagle wings, and a red-crowned white goose. Four huge and terrifying beasts crowded in the air, baring their fangs and claws, and roaring and screaming at him with the fierceness of eagles and tigers.
The deafening roar of the beast hit the eardrums, and the invisible air waves in the air made it difficult for Tang Chen to breathe.
The tapir leopard that was originally lying at his feet had already escaped back into his dantian, and all irrelevant scenes gradually disappeared from his sight.
At this moment, Tang Chen could only see Wei Changtian who was drinking tea with his head down, and the four ferocious beasts tumbling behind him.
All thoughts came to a standstill.
Under the intense visual impact, Tang Chen just kept trembling and repeating the same sentence completely out of instinct.
"No, it's impossible."
"This, this is impossible."
“.”
Dead silence.
In the entire room, apart from Tang Chen's extremely frightened voice, there was no other sound.
For those who couldn't see the beast of fortune, they certainly didn't know what Tang Chen meant by "impossible".
But judging from Tang Chen's current appearance, anyone could understand that he had been frightened by Wei Changtian's unknown means.
However, the crowd could see and hear nothing.
From their perspective, Wei Changtian was just sitting there drinking tea. This normal scene did not make them feel at ease, but instead a layer of fear from the unknown filled their hearts.
"Wei, Prince Wei"
His face turned from red to pale in an instant, and Yan Huaiqing no longer doubted anything Wei Changtian had just said.
He didn't even dare to look at Tang Chen who was still in a daze.
“Pah.”
On the other side, Wei Changtian glanced at him, gently put down the teacup, and reached out to the empty tea table next to Li Zimu.
Yan Huaiqing was stunned at first when he saw this, but then he understood something.
He quickly ran to the side and found a new teacup, poured a cup of tea with some trembling, and then walked to Li Zimu.
"Miss Li, Miss Li"
"I apologize for the poor care."
