Chapter 713 The Sound of Wind and Rain at Night
The setting sun sets in the west and the new moon rises in the east.
No one knew how long it had been, but when the three cups of hot tea slowly cooled down and even the bloodstains on the ground had solidified, the three envoys finally heard a noise outside the house.
They suddenly turned their heads to look out the window, looking at the dim and swaying firelight in the yard, and their mood suddenly became extremely tense.
Then, the door opened.
"call!"
The night wind blew the blazing torches, and countless soldiers in green armor stood expressionlessly in two rows outside the door. The flames extended all the way to the courtyard gate dozens of feet away.
At the end of the firelight was a black carriage, and next to the carriage stood seven or eight people, including Liang Zhen, all of whom were standing very well and motionless.
Soon, a man in black got off the carriage, turned around and said a few words to Liang Zhen, then strode towards this side.
"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Wherever the man passed, the soldiers on both sides stood up with their swords in hand. The sounds of the scabbards hitting the armor were continuous and full of murderous intent.
A group of people followed behind him, and even Liang Zhen, who was talking to the man, always kept half a step behind.
Such pomp, such momentum, such status.
Even if these three envoys had never seen Wei Changtian's portrait, they would definitely understand who the man in black was.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Standing up in no particular order, the three of them hurried to the inside of the door, watching the figure getting closer and closer with great trepidation.
Until the latter passed through the vast firelight and stood in front of them.
Wei Changtian smiled and glanced at the three people opposite him, his tone calm.
"My three lords, I've been waiting for a long time."
“.”
Trembling, the three envoys looked at the smiling Wei Changtian and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.
After all, it seems inappropriate to show toughness or weakness at this time.
In fact, this hesitation only lasted for a breath or two.
But Wei Changtian didn't give them a chance to speak after they reacted. He just paused for a moment, then turned around and said to the two people beside him, "Uncle Liang, drag the body out of the house."
"Mr. Tang, come with me and talk to the three adults."
After saying that, Wei Changtian walked around the three people who were still standing there in a daze, and walked straight into the house with Tang Chen.
At this time, Liang Zhen also waved his hand, and soldiers immediately entered the house and carried the three headless corpses and three human heads out of the door.
Just like that, in less than ten breaths, Wei Changtian had already sat in the main seat, with even a cup of tea at hand.
In full view of everyone, he first drank a sip of tea, then looked up at the three envoys.
"My three lords, please take a seat."
"Wei, Master Wei, we will just stand here."
Unexpectedly, the three of them gave the same answer, and their attitude was undoubtedly very humble.
"Did you sit for too long?"
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Well, it's good to stand there."
“.”
Faced with such a sarcasm that was almost equivalent to humiliation, the three of them all smiled awkwardly and dared not say a word.
Wei Changtian slowly put away the smile on his face and looked outside the house again, his sights falling on Li Zimu, who was wearing a green dress.
The latter was also looking at him at this moment, his eyes calm, as if waiting for something.
After pondering for a moment, Wei Changtian nodded slightly to Li Zimu and lowered his eyes.
Then he waved his hand and uttered two words indifferently.
"close the door."
"Squeak~"
After three breaths, the not-so-heavy door slowly closed, isolating the inside and outside of the house.
There were only Wei Changtian, Tang Chen, and the three envoys in the room.
However, Liang Zhen, Li Zimu and others did not participate in the negotiations.
"General Liang, please find me a quiet room."
As he walked out of the courtyard, Li Zimu said to Liang Zhen beside him, "I need it now."
"Now?"
Liang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it."
"Thank you, General. Oh, by the way."
Li Zimu paused, turned around and said, "Once the negotiations are over, please send someone to inform me of the results immediately."
"Um?"
Liang Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "Miss Li, since Changtian did not allow you and me to participate in this negotiation, it means that he did not want too many people to know the content of the negotiation. You should understand this principle."
"Of course I understand."
Li Zimu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, General, the young master has agreed to this."
"Besides, I don't need to know what they talked about."
"Really?"
Liang Zhen was a little confused: "What do you mean by result?"
"I just need to know how many of these three envoys died."
Li Zimu said solemnly, "I'll have to trouble you, General."
“.”
Looking at Li Zimu's serious expression, Liang Zhen did not hesitate for too long.
On the one hand, he would definitely tell Wei Changtian about this, so there was no such thing as a leak.
On the other hand, Li Zimu obviously had something important to do, and it would be bad if he was delayed.
After taking all these factors into consideration, Liang Zhen didn't bother to care what Li Zimu was going to do and quickly nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'll send someone to inform the girl then."
"Thank you very much."
After thanking him again, Li Zimu stopped talking.
Liang Zhen looked at her, then turned back to look at the closed door, and suddenly felt like something was missing.
Yes, it’s Chu Xianping.
Normally, Chu Xianping should be there at such critical moments.
I don't know why Changtian suddenly sent him out. What could be more important than the Xinfeng war?
Liang Zhen was puzzled, and suddenly remembered that Li Zimu and Chu Xianping had a special relationship, so he asked tentatively:
"Miss Li, do you know what Master Chu is doing?"
“.”
"He went looking for the sword."
Li Zimu replied coldly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the next few months."
"Looking for a sword?"
Liang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, wondering what kind of sword was so important.
He was about to ask more questions, but seeing that Li Zimu was obviously unwilling to answer, he tactfully stopped talking and just muttered quietly:
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as finding a sword."
Obviously, this was just Liang Zhen's casual remark.
But he was right this time.
"Searching for the sword" was indeed just a means for Wei Changtian to get Chu Xianping away.
The latter did not show too much resistance and actually ran to find the sword.
And, tonight, he had found the first sword.
Qingzhou, Shouyang Mountain.
Shouyang Mountain is not a big mountain. In the mountain lives a reclusive family named Liu, who are quite famous in Qingzhou.
But tonight, because of the arrival of hundreds of Xuan Jingsi officers, the Liu family is destined to have no peace.
"Everyone kneel down!!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Woo woo woo, mother, I'm scared."
"You, what are you doing? My Liu family has never done anything evil!"
"You haven't done it?! Humph, it's not your turn to say whether you've done it or not!"
"Kneel down! Stop the fucking screaming!"
“.”
Flames shot up into the sky and roars were heard.
Although there were many warriors in the Liu family, none of them dared to resist the Xuan Jing Si. At this moment, everyone was kneeling in fear on an open space, with different expressions on their faces.
Not long after, when a black-clothed officer holding a sword in his hand quickly passed by the crowd and ran out of the yard, under an old tree, Chu Xianping had just put the mother and child jade in his arms.
"Master Chu! I found the Scarlet Sky Sword!"
The officer ran all the way to Chu Xianping, knelt on one knee, and raised the sword in his hand above his head.
Chu Xianping took the sword, looked at it, and asked calmly:
"Liu family, have you found out anything?"
"Reply Sir! Only a few minor crimes were found!"
"Really? Then are they willing to give me this sword?"
"They didn't want to. The Liu family's Patriarch just injured several brothers, but their meridians have been sealed now."
The officer reported back, and then asked softly, "Mr. Chu, how do you deal with this man?"
"Kill him."
Chu Xianping did not hesitate.
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
The officer bowed, stood up and was about to kill the man.
However, he had only taken two steps when he heard Chu Xianping's voice again behind him.
"I said, kill them all."
