Chapter 712: Not killing the envoy?
Kill three people at random.
Soon, Zhang San passed Wei Changtian's original words to Liang Zhen.
When the latter heard these words from the messenger, he was no less surprised than Zhang San just now.
"General Liang, what's wrong?"
Across from them, six envoys of different heights, weights and bodies looked at each other, and then someone asked in a deep voice, "When will Master Wei arrive in Huailing City?"
"This should arrive before nightfall."
Liang Zhen turned his head and looked at the person who was speaking, with a complicated expression: "Please be patient."
"Huh, what a big frame!"
With a cold snort, the old man in purple clothes who spoke should be a high-ranking official. Normally, others had to wait for him, and he probably had never waited for others like this.
So even though he now has a heavy responsibility, he still couldn't help but complain.
Although the other five people didn't say anything for the time being, they probably had similar thoughts in their minds.
After all, they had been waiting in Huailing for a long time. Normally, no matter whether Wei Changtian was willing to talk or not, he should have replied and made it clear.
But the latter did not even respond, which clearly showed that they did not take them seriously.
Anyone would be dissatisfied with such a contemptuous attitude.
What's more, these people who are usually in high positions and have great power "In that case, let's wait for the last half day!"
"Forget it, my Lords. We have already waited for three days. We can wait for the last half day."
"Yes, we still have to put the overall situation first."
"Humph, we have the overall situation in mind, but what about Wei Changtian? I don't think he wants to talk at all!"
"That's absolutely true! Does he really think that we, Daqian and Dahui, are afraid of him?!"
"Oh, calm down, calm down."
“.”
Some were indignant, some were angry, some were calm, and some were trying to persuade. The six people present said a lot at the same time.
But no matter what everyone's attitude is, at least they still remember the purpose of their trip.
So it was just a few verbal curses, but no one really dared to say "let's not talk about it anymore".
However, just because they don't dare, it doesn't mean Liang Zhen doesn't dare either.
“Cang!”
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't want to wait, you can go back now."
Slowly pulling out the sword from his waist, Liang Zhen said coldly: "Don't be like a bunch of women who only know how to talk."
"you!"
The six people didn't expect that Liang Zhen would dare to humiliate them like this. Someone immediately pointed at Liang Zhen angrily and wanted to say something.
However, before he could speak, the purple-robed old man in the lead waved his hand, looked at the long sword in Liang Zhen's hand and sneered, "General Liang, why are you drawing your sword?"
"Could it be that you want to kill someone?"
"Haha, if that's the case, then please kill me first."
He took a step forward calmly. Although the old man in purple clothes was not a cultivator, he was not afraid at all when facing Liang Zhen.
It's not that he was not afraid of death, he was just sure that Liang Zhen would never dare to kill him.
"What? General Liang, you don't want to kill him?"
"If you don't dare to kill, then take back the knife as soon as possible."
"Don't be like a reckless man who only acts bravely when faced with difficulties."
“.”
If you don't want to wait, then go back quickly.
If you don’t dare to kill, then put the knife back.
The advantage of the tongue.
The courage of a common man.
It is obvious that the old man in purple clothes is "fighting fire and water".
Such a way of relieving one's anger naturally made the other five people feel very happy, and they all opened their mouths to chime in.
However, the next moment, when a human head suddenly flew high into the air, they felt as if someone had grabbed their necks. Their eyes widened instantly and they could no longer utter a word.
"Don't dare?"
With a sneer, Liang Zhen swung his sword again and smashed the head that had not yet fallen to the ground at the feet of the five people.
At the same time, after hearing the noise inside the house, the soldiers outside broke in and surrounded the five envoys.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The sounds of long swords being unsheathed were continuous. These soldiers didn't care who you were. In an instant, they put the swords on the necks of five people.
It was not until this moment that one of the latter finally came to his senses. He stared at Liang Zhen with bloodshot eyes and shouted in disbelief:
"You, you dare to kill an envoy from another country?!"
"When two countries are at war, they never kill envoys! How dare you kill Lord Dong!"
"You, you, you"
It can be seen that although this person shouted very loudly, he was extremely frightened in his heart, and in the end he stammered and didn't know what to say.
Liang Zhen was quite considerate. Seeing that he was speechless, he swung his knife again.
“Puff!”
The knife flashed, and then the second head fell to the ground.
Two heads were scattered in a pool of blood, and there was still a look of deep astonishment in the eyes that had no life left.
“.”
Just kill when you say kill, no nonsense, and no reason.
After Liang Zhen struck with two swords, the remaining four people were completely frightened out of their wits, and no one dared to say a word at this time.
But since Wei Changtian instructed to kill three, then we must kill three.
"You."
His eyes were fixed on the man who had just cursed Wei Changtian fiercely. Liang Zhen didn't even give him a chance to speak, and in a blink of an eye he struck with the third knife.
“Plop!”
“.”
The third head fell, and the headless corpse staggered to the ground.
In the silent room, Liang Zhen sheathed his sword, glanced at the remaining three envoys, and said coldly, "My three lords, please wait here for a moment."
"Master Wei will come to see you after he arrives in Huailing City."
"Someone come!"
"Show the tea to the three adults!"
After saying that, Liang Zhen turned around and walked out of the room without looking back.
Since he gave such an order, not long after, the guards really brought three cups of hot tea.
However, no one dealt with the three bodies. They just lay in the house, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
"Squeak~"
Soon, the door was closed and all the soldiers retreated outside the house, leaving only the three envoys in the house to "wait a moment".
They looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the closed door. Everyone's face was extremely pale, and one of them was even a little unsteady on his feet.
"What should I do next?"
After a long while, someone finally said tremblingly: "Liang Zhending didn't dare to kill people like this. I'm afraid that Wei Changtian was behind it."
"My lords, shouldn't we think of a way to at least save our lives?"
"Pan, Master Pan is right. We should think about this carefully."
Another person also stammered in response: "This Wei Changtian is so unruly. If he really comes, we may not be able to survive."
"You two must remember! Don't make him unhappy when the time comes!"
"But what if he asks about something confidential? Should we tell him or not?"
"Of course we can't tell you. We will then firmly say we don't know!"
"That's right, my Lords. Let's make it like this!"
"Of course! We won't treat this as a joke when our lives are at stake!"
"well"
“.”
After a fearful and anxious exchange, the three surviving envoys stopped talking and each found a place to sit down away from the corpse.
They looked at each other, and then looked away tacitly.
They seemed to be afraid to look at the scene in the room and soon lowered their heads.
However, the moment they lowered their heads, the panic in the eyes of the three people disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a hint of coldness.
No one who can reach such a high position is incompetent.
They all understood that Wei Changtian would most likely not kill all three of them. At the very least, he would leave one alive to send a letter to Qianhui and Erguo.
Therefore, the most important thing now is not how to "cooperate sincerely" and escape from Wei Changtian together.
But it is about how to save your own life first and make yourself the one who survives in the end.
Then, they would undoubtedly have to prove their "worth" in front of Wei Changtian. With their minds racing, the three of them were trying hard to think of what intelligence they could offer.
At this point, Wei Changtian’s goal of “killing three people first” was achieved.
