Chapter 844: Very confident
"Boom!!!"
Not long after Zhang San finished shouting, just as Wei Changtian had expected, the heavy city door of Linchuan City finally opened slowly with a loud bang.
Looking at the man standing behind the city gate, Xu Quan immediately whispered to Wei Changtian:
"Sir, that is Su Qi."
“.”
Looking up through the car curtain, Wei Changtian immediately saw this upright person from Daqian who was said to hate evil.
He was not tall, about fifty years old, his official uniform was spotless, and he stood upright.
Well, he does look quite upright.
"Let's go into the city."
Glancing at Su Qi who was standing behind the city gate as if waiting for him, Wei Changtian calmly lowered the curtain and gave a casual order.
Upon hearing this, Zhang San immediately returned to the carriage and drove into the city.
"Gurgle"
The sound of the wheels was particularly clear in the silence around. The black carriage drove through the city gate at a moderate speed, and got closer and closer to Su Qi under the "attention of everyone".
However, the carriage, which everyone thought would stop, did not slow down. Instead, it maintained its original speed, turned slightly, and passed directly past Su Qi.
Huh? All the soldiers on the city wall who saw this scene were stunned. They didn't expect Wei Changtian to ignore Su Qi like this.
Su Qi's expression instantly turned ugly, and he immediately turned around and shouted:
"etc!"
".Ouch!"
Zhang San's "whoa" sounded a little slowly. Although the carriage had stopped, it was still about ten feet away from Su Qi.
Looking at the motionless carriage, Su Qi gritted his teeth, and finally took a step forward and walked over slowly.
"I am the prefect of Linchuan Prefecture, Su Qi!"
"Is that Master Wei Changtian in the car?"
Standing at the side of the carriage, Su Qi stared at the curtain and spoke word by word: "Master Wei, would you be willing to get off the carriage and have a chat with me?"
“.”
The breeze blew across the corners of his clothes, causing his purple official uniform to sway gently.
Su Qi stood alone beside the carriage, motionless, as if he was not afraid at all that the person in the carriage was the "living devil" that frightened countless people.
If nothing else, this at least shows that he is indeed a very courageous man.
However, Wei Changtian was very disdainful of such a "hero".
"Let's get off the car and talk?"
"Master Su, do I know you well?"
Some sarcastic voices came from the carriage, but the curtain was never opened.
Facing Wei Changtian's ridicule, Su Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he replied in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Master Wei, you and I have never met before, so how can we be familiar with each other?"
"But since you are here to return my Daqian soldiers, and I am accepting these 200,000 people under the order of His Majesty, I want to talk to you, right?"
"Return? Receive?"
The smile in Wei Changtian's voice became even more intense: "Master Su, you are wrong."
"I'm not that kind. I'm not here to return the surrendered soldiers."
"As for the rest, you are not worthy to discuss it with me. You should go find Jing Guoqing."
"Zhang San, let's go."
After leaving behind the last words, there was no more sound coming from the carriage, and the carriage slowly moved forward again, heading towards Linchuan City.
Watching the carriage going further and further away, Su Qi did not say anything to stop it. He just stood there motionless, with no expression showing either sadness or joy, nor anger after being humiliated.
"grown ups."
Soon, a servant ran up to him and asked cautiously, "Now we..."
"Keep an eye on him and see where he lives and who he meets."
Still looking at the direction where the carriage left, Su Qi said slowly:
"Also send a message to His Majesty, telling him that everything is under control here!"
“.”
A quarter of an hour later, at an inn west of Linchuan City.
"My husband, since you don't plan to talk to Su Qi, why should we go into the city?"
In the guest room, Yang Liushi asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Wouldn't it be safer to wait for Jing Guoqing to come in the military camp?"
Regarding the "first confrontation" that just ended, Yang Liushi was obviously quite confused by Wei Changtian's actions.
First of all, as Wei Changtian said, they will definitely not easily hand over the 200,000 surrendered soldiers this time, but will use this as a bargaining chip to do something.
In this case, these 200,000 people can no longer move forward and can only reach Linchuan at best.
Therefore, Yang Liushi originally thought that Wei Changtian went into the city to talk to Su Qi first to see if he could get some information in advance.
But unexpectedly, Wei Changtian had no intention of talking at all.
Why go into the city? Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the barracks and wait for Jing Guoqing to come? "Who said I'm not going to talk to Su Qi?"
Facing Yang Liushi's question, Wei Changtian smiled and said meaningfully: "It's just not now."
"When was that?"
Yang Liushi was even more puzzled: "There is no one from our side in Linchuan Prefecture, what does my husband want to do?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Wei Changtian kept it a secret, stood up and said, "Let me ask you first, do you think Jing Guoqing will come to Linchuan if I ask him to?"
"this."
Yang Liushi thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Probably not."
"He must be afraid that his husband will kill him, so he may not dare to show up."
"It's not maybe, it's definitely not possible."
Wei Changtian glanced out the window and said with great confidence, "There are few people in this world who don't know my methods now. Moreover, there are the precedents of Yan Huanwen and Lu Hongji. How could he dare to meet me?"
"So, I have to find a way to make him show up, or even come to Linchuan in person."
"But how can this be done?"
Yang Liushi looked worried: "I'm afraid he won't take this risk no matter what happens."
"Well, forcing him to come is definitely not an option."
Wei Changtian nodded: "But we can trick him into coming."
"cheat?"
Yang Liushi blinked: "How to cheat?"
"This depends on Su Qi."
After talking for a while, the topic finally returned to Su Qi.
Wei Changtian walked to the window, closed the open wooden window, and said with a smile:
"It can be seen that he is indeed trusted by Jing Guoqing and is indeed an upright person."
"In that case, it will be easy."
“.”
The sunlight came in through the window and there was no sound in the room.
In the end, Wei Changtian did not explain to Yang Liushi what he was going to do.
However, while the two were talking, Xu Quan had quietly arrived outside the government office of the Linchuan branch of the Demon Slaying Division.
Standing under the familiar plaque, he took a deep breath and took out the demon-slaying commander card that he hadn't used for a long time from his arms.
Looking at the token in his hand with the words "slay demons" and "eliminate evil" engraved on the front and back respectively, Xu Quan's eyes were filled with emotion.
But soon this trace of emotion disappeared, and then he said to the officer who just pushed the door open: "Brother, I'm from the headquarters in the capital."
"Is your Lord Wang in the yamen?"
"Please inform him immediately. I have something important to tell him!"
