Chapter 714: A raging fire
"My lords, I don't have much time, so let's stop talking nonsense."
It was still the same room. The coagulated blood was dark red, and the firelight illuminated Wei Changtian's expressionless face.
He glanced at the three people opposite him and said calmly, "Half a month ago, Jing Guoqing sent me a secret letter, asking me not to interfere in the Xinfeng war, otherwise he would make my Great Shu fall within a year."
"As for how I answered him, I'm sure you three know."
"In that case, I don't understand why you came here this time?"
"What? Could it be that Jing Guoqing and Lu Hongji have changed their minds?"
"Haha, I don't think so."
“.”
Jing Guoqing, the Emperor of Daqian.
Lu Hongji, the emperor returned.
Wei Changtian asked even though he knew the answer, and brought up the incident when the two men threatened him last time, making the three people opposite him feel very embarrassed.
"This, Young Master Wei."
They bent over and glanced at each other quietly. After a long while, a tall and thin envoy finally replied with a wry smile: "We are here this time to negotiate with you on the orders of King Qian and King Hui."
"Peace talks?"
Wei Changtian sneered, "Don't they want the Great Shu to be destroyed? What else is there to discuss?"
"Uh, Master Wei, Prince Qian and Prince Hui were deceived by a villain last time."
The tall and thin envoy smiled and said, "Now that the two emperors have come to their senses, if you can put aside the past grudges, then the three kingdoms of Daqian, Dahui, and Dashu will surely be able to turn hostility into friendship."
"Oh, so I was deceived by a villain."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "My three lords, who is this traitor?"
“This person.”
The tall and thin envoy paused for a moment, a barely perceptible sinister look on his face.
It was obvious that this question was confidential and he should not answer it.
But if he wants to survive, he must answer.
Even faster than the other two colleagues! With this thought in mind, the tall and thin envoy paused for less than a breath and immediately prepared to speak.
However, just before the name came out, two voices sounded from the left and right.
"My lord! This person is the Great Awakening Prince, Yan Huaiqing!"
"Sir! The traitor is Yan Huaiqing!"
“.”
The two voices echoed in the house at the same time, almost without any order.
The tall and thin envoy stared blankly at the two people beside him, having never expected such an outcome.
It took only a breath for him to hesitate and then to speak! But in that breath, these two people took advantage of it! "Wei, Master Wei, it is indeed Yan Huaiqing!"
He shouted hurriedly, trying to make up for the mistake he had made.
However, Wei Changtian shook his head and said coldly something that made him shudder for a moment.
"Sir, you are a little late."
“.”
“Zheng!!”
“Puff!!”
As he spoke, Longquan was unsheathed, bringing up a silver light.
The next second, a human head flew high into the air in a column of blood. The blood stained the corners of the clothes of the other two people, making the cloud patterns embroidered on the clothes become bright red and dazzling.
Feeling both terrified and relieved, the two men said nothing and buried their heads even lower, trembling.
Wei Changtian, who killed one person in an instant, didn't even look at them. He just lowered his eyes and continued with a half-smile in his voice:
"My Lords, peace talks are no longer possible."
"In this case, you are all my enemies."
"But I have always acted in an upright manner, so I will let one of you go back to bring the letter to Jing Guoqing and Lu Hongji."
"As for who it is."
"Then it depends on who of you can answer my next question first."
“.”
Just like the last round of the crucial interview in the previous life, the moment they heard Wei Changtian's words, the only two remaining people suddenly raised their heads and held their breath involuntarily.
The beheaded corpse under my feet, my loyalty as a subject, none of these are important anymore.
They just stared at Wei Changtian until they heard him ask faintly: "Is there someone around me who is in collusion with you?"
"Who is this person?"
"Go ahead."
“.”
Qingzhou, Shouyang Mountain.
"Bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
"Ah! You, you guys."
"Run! Yuan'er! Run!"
"Mother! Mother!!!"
"Ah!! I'm going to fight you guys!!!"
"Haha, the thief is in control of the government, Daning is going to perish"
“Puff!”
“Puff, puff, puff!”
“.”
The flashing of swords and the murderous aura were overwhelming.
The blazing torches illuminated the inside and outside of Liu's mansion. The sounds of fierce fighting and shouting resounded through the night, then gradually subsided after a stick of incense.
Although the Liu family is a martial arts family, there are only about seventy or eighty people practicing in the family, and the highest level is just at the fifth level.
With such strength, how could they defeat the five hundred Xuan Jing Si runners? As a result, they soon became corpses scattered around the mansion.
Including the servants, there were a total of 198 people, and not a single one escaped.
"Master Chu, there is no one alive in the Liu Mansion."
It was still under the big tree, and it was still the black-clad officer who had found the Chixiao Sword before.
The latter bowed his head and stood in front of Chu Xianping, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"Well, let's take a look."
Chu Xianping nodded expressionlessly and quickly walked into the Liu family mansion, where he saw the tragic situation.
Nearly two hundred bodies had been dragged to the open space in the front yard, and blood was still flowing from the wounds to the ground.
Some of these corpses looked horrific, while others looked quite "intact".
The former were mostly men, and it is estimated that they fought desperately before their death.
The latter were mostly powerless women and children.
The night was cold and bleak. The inky black sky seemed like a bottomless abyss. Only the white moon shed its silver light, making the bloodless skin of the corpses appear pale.
Looking at this scene, Chu Xianping's expression did not change at all.
Instead, the black-clad officer beside him hesitated for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said tentatively:
"Master Chu, Master Wei just said that we just need to get the sword, and there is no need to kill anyone unless necessary."
"Today, the head of the Liu family is unwilling to hand over the sword, so we will just kill him."
"Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know why you want to massacre the entire Liu family?"
“.”
Under the moonlight, the black-clad officer stared at Chu Xianping intently, and his voice was very clear.
It was obvious that although he obeyed the order to massacre the Liu family, he did not quite understand Chu Xianping's decision and was even a little dissatisfied.
Chu Xianping had no intention of explaining at all, he just looked at the man coldly.
"When working in the Xuanjing Division, the first rule is to just do it and don't ask questions."
"Why, have you forgotten all this?"
“.”
"I, I dare not!"
He knelt on one knee with a "thump". The questioning look in the black-clothed officer's eyes disappeared instantly, and his tone was extremely panicked.
His reaction was not due to Chu Xianping's words.
He did so because he saw the look in Chu Xianping's eyes.
That look that makes people feel like they are falling into an icy cave.
"Sir, calm down. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong."
Thinking of Chu Xianping's identity, the black-clad officers no longer dared to ask any more questions and just kept begging for mercy.
Chu Xianping glanced at him again, then waved his hand expressionlessly.
"Let's go."
“Yes, yes!”
The black-clad officers stood up as if they had been pardoned, and quickly shot an arrow into the air representing "retreat".
“Swoosh!!”
“Bang!!!”
Fire burst, and a golden orchid bloomed in the night sky.
When the people from Xuan Jing Division saw the command fire, they immediately transformed into hundreds of black shadows and climbed over the courtyard wall.
At this time, Chu Xianping had already reached the main gate of Liu's mansion.
After he stepped over the threshold, he suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and said:
"Torch."
“Ah? Yes, yes!”
The black-clad officer beside him was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly handed the torch to Chu Xianping.
The latter took the torch and threw it behind him without even turning his head.
"call!"
The howling night wind blew the densely packed tiger-dragon costumes outside the courtyard gate, and also concealed Chu Xianping's cold eyes.
"The Liu family was robbed by mountain bandits, all the members of the family died, and the mansion was also destroyed by fire."
"Tell the provincial government tomorrow that this case is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanjing Division and they don't need to interfere."
"Did you understand everything?"
“.”
"I understand!"
The neat response sounded a little later, and it also put an end to what happened tonight.
Looking at the people in front of him, Chu Xianping didn't say much, just shook his sleeves, and then walked towards a mountain road not far away.
His steps were neither fast nor slow, and the corners of his clothes rustled in the wind.
Behind him, a raging fire surged up with the wind, and in an instant engulfed everything in the yard.
