Chapter 823 He shouldn't die
"Husband."
Not long after Chu An left, Yang Liushi pushed the door open and walked in, holding the small wooden box in her hand.
"Um?"
Wei Changtian took a look and asked in confusion: "Where did this wooden box come from?"
"It's placed outside the door. It must have been left by Chu An."
Yang Liushi blinked: "What's in the box?"
".Qing Jue Jade Pendant."
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "He is quite straightforward."
"Goose, goose, goose, after all, my husband is the benefactor who saved his life."
Yang Liushi put the wooden box down and deliberately joked: "Chu An wants to repay his kindness, why don't you accept it, sir? Are you feeling guilty?"
"Stop being so sarcastic."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "I just think this jade pendant is of no use to me."
"Really?"
Yang Liushi covered her mouth and smiled: "If you don't want it, then I will take it away?"
"Don't you have one?"
Wei Changtian waved his hand and said, "Give it to Li Zimu. It just so happens that she doesn't have anything to save her life."
"Okay, I'll give it to Zimu when he comes back."
After responding, Yang Liushi's expression gradually became serious and his tone became lighter.
She looked at Wei Changtian, who had no expression on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice:
"Husband, what did Chu An say just now?"
"Nothing."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "But he was suspicious of me and just tested me."
"My husband, you didn't reveal any flaws, did you?" Yang Liushi asked again.
"No."
Wei Changtian glanced out the window and sighed silently: "Chu An doesn't have any scheming."
“.”
With a startled look in her eyes, Yang Liushi walked towards Wei Changtian, her figure very light: "Husband, are you hesitating again?"
“A little.”
Wei Changtian smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, Chu An really shouldn't have died."
"well"
A sigh, neither light nor heavy, echoed in the room, and the sun was warm outside the window.
Yang Liushi turned her head and looked at Wei Changtian's profile with a very complicated look in her eyes.
After the sigh, everything returned to silence, and no more conversation was heard.
The courtyard is filled with green willows and red flowers, and bamboo leaves sway in the wind, creating a beautiful summer scene.
Three more days passed, and in the blink of an eye it was already the first day of May.
There are still four days before the execution of Gongsun Yan, and the 200,000-strong army has already marched to the heart of Dahui, and is about three days away from Yongding City.
If nothing unexpected happens, these Daqian surrendered soldiers will surround Yongding before May 5th, in order to force the "public opinion" of the people in the city to change.
Although that day has not yet arrived, many people have already smelled the danger.
In the past three days, the number of people leaving the city has increased significantly. There are always long queues at the four city gates, sometimes even several miles long.
But there were very few people waiting outside the city to enter.
Just like that, since the announcement of the execution of Gongsun Yan was issued, at least 100,000 people have fled Yongding City in just a few days.
This number is undoubtedly a lot, but compared to the entire Yongding City's population base it is just a drop in the bucket.
Most people did not leave, or rather, they could not leave.
For many people, they have lived in Yongding City for half their lives. If they leave, it will undoubtedly mean giving up everything and starting over.
Not to mention the properties and other things that cannot be taken away.
Therefore, even though the news that a large army was approaching Yongding had already spread, 90% of the people in the city remained "unmoved", believing that everything would get better after Gongsun Yan's death.
Under such circumstances, Chu Xianping was not idle either. He had been using various means to incite public anger in the past few days, and had completely "created" Gongsun Yan into an image that everyone could kill.
There is no doubt that this image of a "traitor" is hateful, and Gongsun Yan's reputation in the market plummeted instantly.
There were people shouting and cursing outside Prince An's mansion all day long. The eggs and vegetable leaves thrown into the mansion were probably enough to set up a stall. It would be no exaggeration to say that even a dog would be cursed a few times.
From this point of view, it seems that the people have already forgotten Wei Changtian's words "the whole city will be buried with him", and they don't care about the "rebels" that are getting closer and closer, and they all strongly support the early execution of Gongsun Yan.
The situation seemed to be becoming increasingly favorable for Chu Xianping, but Wei Changtian turned a blind eye to it and did not take any action.
Because in his opinion, no matter what he said or did, it would be of any use.
If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry. When the 200,000-strong army really besieges Yongding City, the people in the city will surely have a different "face" "Sir, have my piano skills improved recently?"
Noon, deep in the bamboo forest.
The melodious sound of the piano is gentle, sometimes like the sound of willow catkins in the breeze, sometimes like snow falling in the cold night. The small bamboo forest seems to have experienced the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter within the time of a song.
After the strings were pressed to end, Yang Liushi asked the bored Wei Changtian, "I feel it is much better than when we were in Fengqi Pavilion."
"Fengqi Pavilion?"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name again, Wei Changtian couldn't help but be stunned. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that this was the brothel where Yang Liushi once lived in the capital of Daning.
At that time, I was also a frequent visitor to various brothels. "Do you want to go to the city?"
Suddenly, Wei Changtian inexplicably became interested and asked with a smile: "It's not easy to come here for a big trip. I don't know when I can come again next time."
"I have nothing to do these days anyway, why not go check out the local customs and culture of Dahui?"
"OK."
Facing Wei Changtian's proposal, Yang Liushi also seemed quite interested: "It just so happens that Miss Qin mentioned a few days ago that there is a restaurant in the east of the city with excellent food. I was thinking about going there to try it someday."
"Okay, let's go now."
The two hit it off immediately, and Wei Changtian immediately turned around and shouted, "Zhang San!"
"Sir."
Zhang San, who had been waiting not far away, heard the voice and walked over: "What do you want me to do?"
"Go get the car ready, we'll go for a walk in the city this afternoon."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Call Li Zimu."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After answering, Zhang San turned around and was about to leave.
But at this moment, Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment and added another sentence.
"By the way, ask Qin He and Chu An as well."
“.”
Just like that, about half an hour later, the two carriages stopped outside the bamboo shed, and the gate with a "Full House" sign slowly closed.
Although Qin He and Chu An didn't know why Wei Changtian suddenly wanted to go for a stroll in the city, and didn't know why he invited them, they still gladly accepted the invitation and planned to be the latter's guide.
"Master Wei, it's still early now. Why don't we go to the Grand View Garden in the North City first? It should be quite lively there."
"Okay, let's follow Miss Qin's arrangements."
"good"
After a few polite words with smiles, everyone got on the carriage, and soon the carriage drove away along the street.
At the same time, several figures hiding in the dark immediately followed quietly, and soon disappeared together among the rows of houses.
