Chapter 845 I can’t tell you
Just like that, Wei Changtian settled down in Linchuan City.
He did not continue to travel to the capital of Daqian, nor did he return to the military camp. He just stayed in the inn, saying that he wanted to wait for Jing Guoqing to come and talk to him in person.
There is no doubt that, as he and Yang Liushi expected, Jing Guoqing would definitely not come.
At least in the current situation, the latter obviously dare not show up.
Since Jing Guoqing didn't show up, naturally someone else was needed to talk to Wei Changtian.
And as far as we can see now, this person is only Su Qi.
"Sir, Su Qi is now in the front hall of the inn."
The next morning after Wei Changtian moved into Linchuan City, Su Qi came to his door early.
Looking at Zhang San who pushed the door open, Wei Changtian asked casually: "What did he say?"
"He said Jing Guoqing was ill and could not come to Linchuan for the time being, so he was ordered to discuss with the young master about the surrender of the troops."
Zhang San immediately replied: "Su Qi said that he can make the decision on this matter. I hope you can meet him."
"Really?"
Nodding, Wei Changtian ordered without any hesitation: "Go tell him that I will only talk to Jing Guoqing about this matter."
"If the latter doesn't come, I will continue to live in Linchuan City."
"But my patience is limited, so starting from tomorrow I will kill 100 surrendered soldiers every day and send their heads outside the city."
"If he doesn't want too many people to die, then let Jing Guoqing come earlier."
"Go ahead."
“.”
I only talked to Jing Guoqing. If he doesn't come, I will kill a hundred surrendered soldiers every day until he comes.
It is obvious that Wei Changtian's current actions are to force Jing Guoqing to show up, which is far from the "cheat" he said yesterday.
Therefore, this behavior is undoubtedly just a sleight of hand, and there must be a more hidden plan behind it.
However, Zhang San didn't know this, so he immediately went out to the front hall of the inn and said to Su Qi who had been waiting in the hall in a cold tone:
"Master Su, please go back. Our Master said that he would only discuss this matter with Jing Guoqing."
"Oh, by the way, Master, you just said that it's okay if your emperor doesn't want to show up, but starting tomorrow, one hundred surrendered soldiers outside the city will die every day."
"When you see Jing Guoqing, you will stop killing him."
"I wonder if Lord Su has heard it clearly?"
“.”
His eyes suddenly widened. Although Su Qi had expected that Wei Changtian might still not see him, he did not expect the latter to be so vicious and do such a "heart-breaking" thing right from the start.
His face instantly turned red, and a servant beside him immediately shouted at Zhang San: "How dare you!!"
"This is Daqian! Don't be so arrogant!"
"furious?"
It has to be said that after Zhang San has been with Wei Changtian for a long time, his words and actions have become a lot crazier imperceptibly.
He just glanced at the servant coldly, his expression unmoved.
"Whatever you think, I am just conveying the young master's original words."
"By the way, I would like to remind you that Master Wei always keeps his word. If he says he will kill a hundred people every day, then he will not kill one more or one less."
"Master Su, please go back!"
Raising his voice a little, Zhang San said the last sentence and turned away, as if he was too lazy to say any more to Su Qi.
But the latter is not an ordinary person.
Su Qiyi didn't say anything to Zhang San, but walked towards the stairs of the inn without saying a word, making it clear that he was going directly to confront Wei Changtian.
There was no way Zhang San would allow him to force his way in, so he drew out the sword from his waist with a clang, turned around and blocked the stairs.
"Master Su, have you lived long enough?"
There was already a hint of sinisterness in his tone. Although Zhang San was only at the fifth level, he was not afraid at all when faced with a group of sword-wielding officers who suddenly rushed in from outside the inn.
Su Qi's expression was equally grim. He stared at Zhang San and said word by word: "Get out of the way!"
"I must see Wei Changtian today!"
"Humph! Lord Su is so arrogant!"
Zhang San snorted coldly and was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks.
But at this moment, accompanied by a "creak" from upstairs, a lazy voice suddenly came.
"Master Su, why do you need to do this?"
"Da Da Da"
The sound of footsteps, neither fast nor slow, made everyone suddenly become extremely nervous, and Wei Changtian's figure slowly appeared on the second floor.
He just smiled and glanced at Su Qi, then walked down the stairs step by step, saying as he walked:
"I have made my words very clear."
"If Jing Guoqing doesn't come, I will kill someone."
"Sir Su, instead of wasting time here, you might as well send a message to persuade your emperor to leave earlier."
"If he had come a day earlier, wouldn't a hundred people have been saved from dying?"
There were only ten or so steps, and Wei Changtian had already walked down from the second floor in just a few words.
"Sir."
Zhang San immediately bowed and stepped aside. Although the dozens of officers on the opposite side knew that they should not retreat at this time, they could not overcome the fear in their hearts and they slowly retreated backwards involuntarily.
His eyes were full of fear, and the hand holding the knife was shaking slightly.
If Su Qi hadn't been there, these officials would have run as far away as possible.
Fortunately, Wei Changtian was too lazy to pay attention to them. He just walked through the crowd and sat down at a table in the hall. He shouted to the innkeeper who was hiding behind the counter: "Boss, bring us some food!"
".Ah! Yes, yes!"
In such a tense situation, Wei Changtian actually wanted to eat breakfast.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say a word and immediately ran to the back hall. Soon, a waiter with a pale face came out holding a wooden tray.
He walked tremblingly to Wei Changtian and put down the wooden tray.
The young man wanted to leave but didn't dare to, so he just stood there trembling.
Wei Changtian ignored him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating breakfast under the gaze of dozens of eyes.
“.”
Drink a few mouthfuls of porridge and eat a bite of pickles.
Wei Changtian's food seemed to be quite delicious, but everyone except Zhang San was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
They dared not make any noise, let alone make any movement, and even their breathing was extremely cautious.
Only Su Qi was better and his expression was still calm.
"Master Wei."
Looking at Wei Changtian who was eating with his head down, after an unknown amount of time he suddenly took a step forward and said very seriously: "Your Majesty is indeed ill, and it is not that he did not intend to come to see you."
"Besides, your majesty has already said that I can make the decision on the surrender of the soldiers myself."
"Sir, it was my fault for the previous war."
"If you have any conditions, please feel free to put them forward and we can discuss them."
"I believe you are not an unreasonable person, and I hope you will understand my difficulties."
"I wonder if I can?"
“.”
He changed "you" to "you", used the word "surrendered soldiers" for the first time, and also admitted the mistakes of Daqian in the previous "war of aggression".
There is no doubt that compared to the first time they met yesterday, Su Wu's attitude now can be said to be very polite.
But he did not get a similarly polite response.
"Lord Su"
Under the extremely nervous gaze of the crowd, the chopsticks stretched out in the air paused slightly.
Wei Changtian did not look at Su Qi, but said in a tone that made people feel like they were falling into an icy cave:
"I'm curious."
"Don't you understand what people are saying?"
