Chapter 679 Buy One Get One Free
[Observation: A special magical power that allows you to view the hostility of all creatures within a certain range towards you. The effect depends on the user's realm. It cannot be purchased and can only be obtained through specified methods]
Once the mind-reading technique is performed, a ball of heart-shaped mist will appear above the heads of all living beings within a certain range.
The whiter the mist, the friendlier the person is towards the caster.
The redder the mist, the more hostile the person is towards the caster.
It turned out that Tang Chen relied on this magical power to quickly screen out some suspicious people from 800,000 people, and then used mind reading to further confirm them. In the end, he found more than a hundred spies in the army overnight.
“.”
After taking a look at Tang Chen and closing the system interface, Wei Changtian didn't speak immediately.
"Observing the Mind" can find the same type in the system, but "Reading the Mind" cannot. This undoubtedly means that if one kills Tang Chen, the special magical power he will obtain will most likely be the former.
Well. Although it’s not as awesome as “mind reading”, it’s okay.
After all, it has a wider range of effects and does not require any conditions to use, so its applicability is probably stronger than "mind reading".
After all, for Wei Changtian, in most cases he doesn't need to judge the truth or falsity of what others say. It is enough to understand whether the other party is an enemy or a friend.
Anyway, as long as it's an enemy, it won't be wrong to chop him with a knife.
good!
Nodding in his heart, Wei Changtian was quite satisfied with the effect of "observing the mind".
Of course, he also understood that if he wanted to obtain this magical power, he must kill Tang Chen with his own hands.
It's not difficult to kill someone, but now is not the time.
After all, as a hostage in exchange, if Tang Chen died now, Chu Xianping might not be able to come back, and the peace agreement reached between the two countries would be immediately invalidated.
Besides, there’s no guarantee that Li Zimu might have some other tricks up his sleeve.
So wait a little longer, there's no rush.
"Mr. Tang."
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian finally said slowly: "Since you are so straightforward, I won't be fussy about it."
"From today on, I will no longer care about the matter between Li Zimu and Chu Xianping, provided that Li Zimu will not let Brother Chu down."
"I wonder if this satisfies you?"
"Thank you, sir!"
With his hands clasped together, Tang Chen bowed solemnly to Wei Changtian.
"I believe that you are not the kind of person who goes back on your word. You will definitely do what you say!"
"Of course I mean what I say."
Wei Changtian curled his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said faintly:
"But Mr. Tang, to be honest, I still think you won't necessarily lose to Chu Xianping."
"I even hope that you will marry Li Zimu in the end. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand."
Tang Chen smiled and shook his head: "But I have made up my mind, so let's just leave it at that."
"I know you still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't bother you any more."
"Goodbye."
“.”
Tang Chen cupped his hands again, looking as if he would never change his mind.
Wei Changtian didn't know what to say when he saw this. He just said "I'll see you off" and watched Tang Chen turn around and walk out of the quiet room.
"Squeak~"
The door closed gently, and the footsteps outside became smaller and smaller.
Picking up the teacup casually, Wei Changtian recalled everything that had just happened in his mind.
No matter how much he persuaded him, Tang Chen was determined to "sacrifice himself" to help Li Zimu and Chu Xianping.
It seems that Li Zimu’s previous plan is bound to fail.
Tsk tsk tsk, she told me this morning that as long as I wanted, she could let Tang Chen stay in Daning and work for me.
Now it seems that this won’t work.
I don't know if she has any other tricks up her sleeve.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about these.
Whatever you want. "Bang."
After taking a sip of tea and putting the teacup on the table, Wei Changtian stood up and was about to leave the quiet room.
But at this moment, the door was suddenly knocked, and then a guard walked in.
"Master Wei, the envoy of Dajue wishes to see you."
“.”
One stick of incense later, still in this quiet room, Wei Changtian soon saw a middle-aged man with an imposing manner.
The Dajue envoy, carrying documents from the Zhanshi Palace, came to see him openly.
Then he undoubtedly has only one purpose.
"Mr. Zhang"
After some simple politeness, Wei Changtian asked with a smile, "Are you here for Yan Huanwen?"
"Exactly."
The middle-aged man bowed and said sternly, "Master Wei, now that the two countries have reached a truce and our army has gradually withdrawn from Tianshan, should you also release the people?"
"Let him go."
Wei Changtian looked at the man meaningfully and nodded.
"Of course, but Master Zhang, please be patient. We will have to wait for another half a day."
"Tomorrow morning, I will return Yan Huanwen to you safely. What do you think?"
"Tomorrow morning?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder why you can't just hand His Majesty over to me right away? Is there any other explanation for this?"
"There is no explanation."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "I just think that if you do this, Lord Zhang and your prince may be more satisfied."
"Really?"
Faced with such a confusing and unclear answer, the middle-aged man not only had no doubts, but even breathed a sigh of relief.
"In that case, I will wait another half day."
"Oh, by the way, Master Wei, I have another request."
"Hmm? Please go ahead, Master Zhang."
"Yes, I heard that a demon girl named Su Xiu is also in your hands now."
The middle-aged man smiled sinisterly and said softly: "If possible, please release this witch as well."
"Master Wei, His Royal Highness is willing to pay your country an additional 200,000 taels of silver for this, and use this money to buy this woman's life."
"I just wonder if you can show some mercy."
“.”
Release them all together.
Please be merciful.
The middle-aged man intentionally emphasized the tone of some words, and Wei Changtian understood what he meant.
"Su Xiu, right?"
Nodding, Wei Changtian did not bargain any further.
Anyway, he was planning to kill Su Xiu in the first place, so the two hundred thousand taels of silver could be said to be a waste of money, and there was no point in asking for more.
"Okay, then I will give your Highness the Prince a favor and release this girl tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, sir!"
The middle-aged man didn't hesitate and stood up to leave after achieving his goal.
"Then I will leave first and come back to bother you tomorrow morning."
"Well, Master Zhang, remember not to go to bed too early tonight."
Wei Changtian smiled and warned: "Who knows what big thing might happen?"
"Hahaha, then I won't sleep tonight!"
"That would be great. I will send someone to report to you immediately."
"I am always waiting for good news!"
“.”
He came and went in a hurry. In less than a quarter of an hour, this genuine Dajue envoy left the provincial government and returned to the inn where he was staying to wait for the big event that was about to happen.
Of course he was sent by Yan Huaiqing.
However, his purpose was definitely not to urge Wei Changtian to release the person as he said.
On the contrary, he came to urge the latter to kill quickly.
On the other hand, Wei Changtian’s answer was also very clear.
Tonight, Yan Huanwen will die.
Oh, and now there’s also Su Xiu involved.
