Chapter 852: Trap
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Wei Changtian stopped and turned back to ask, "What else?"
"I"
The woman in yellow hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said softly: "Wei, Master Wei, today Manxiang Tower has been destroyed, and I have nowhere to go."
"No, I don't know if you can take me away."
"Take you away?"
Wei Changtian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to hear such a request.
With his well-known bad reputation, except for evil people like Duan Fangping, all other normal people would avoid him, so why would they take the initiative to "fall into the trap"? Yes, Manxianglou has indeed become dilapidated due to the battle just now, and it is estimated that it can no longer continue to operate.
But it seems that this woman in yellow is a top star in Manxianglou, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to stay in another brothel.
Besides, the women in brothels are generally wealthy, not beggars who have no food to eat. Why must they follow me?
It is better to have less trouble than more. Wei Changtian just thought for a moment and shook his head and said:
"Girl, if you are afraid that the government will cause you trouble later, you can just tell them the truth. I'm sure no one will make things difficult for you."
"As for following me, I think you'd better forget it."
After saying a few words, Wei Changtian took Zhang San and walked out of the room without looking back.
The woman in yellow stared blankly at his back, a hint of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.
But she didn't say anything else. She just squeezed the porcelain bottle in her hand and sighed softly.
The other side.
About quarter of an hour later, Wei Changtian returned to the inn.
Due to the loud noise caused by the recent battle, the entire Linchuan city has become a little chaotic. The streets are full of black-clad officers with knives, and the waiters in the inn have long disappeared.
It can be seen that many people think that Wei Changtian and Su Qi have fallen out, and that Linchuan City is bound to fall into turmoil soon, so they are all thinking about how to escape.
Of course, Wei Changtian knew that Su Qi probably didn't know about this, and the latter would probably come to find him later.
As for whether or not to listen to his explanation and what to do next, he would have to discuss this with Li Zimu in advance. "Ten people, four second-rank, six third-rank, ordinary clothes, no identification seen."
"Two of them followed the Taoist path, three followed the Buddhist path, and the remaining five practiced witchcraft."
"Several people are using the same moves, probably from the same sect."
"They didn't seem to be using their full strength when fighting, and they left as soon as Su Qi arrived without any hesitation."
“.”
Soon, Wei Changtian told Li Zimu what had just happened.
After listening to it, the latter thought for a while, and did not analyze it immediately, but said softly: "Sir, Su Qi actually came here once this morning."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "When did you come?"
"When you and Brother Zhang went to that place."
"Well, then what? Did he come to you?"
"yes."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Li Zimu answered truthfully: "He wanted me to persuade you again, but I didn't agree to his request."
"Well, it seems that Su Qi still wants to make peace with me."
Wei Changtian paced back and forth in the room: "In this case, it is even more impossible that he was the one who ordered this."
“Where on earth did these people come from?”
"Sir, even if Su Qi didn't instruct them, he must have recognized these ten people."
Standing in the middle of the room, Li Zimu looked at Wei Changtian who was walking back and forth in front of him, and reminded him in a low voice: "Otherwise, these assassins would not have left immediately after Su Qi arrived."
"So they were originally planning to use it against me, but for some reason they took action in advance without telling Su Qi?"
Wei Changtian frowned: "Why?"
"I can't say for now about this matter."
Li Zimu said seriously: "But if I can talk to Su Qi again, I should be able to guess it."
"Okay, then go and see him when he comes again."
Wei Changtian stopped in front of Li Zimu and asked casually, "What do you think we should do next?"
"Should we take this opportunity to turn hostile, or wait a little longer?"
"Where are Madam Mo and Master Xu now?"
Li Zimu thought for a moment and asked, "When can you lead the demon soldiers back?"
"We haven't reached Changliu Mountain yet."
Wei Changtian replied: "It will probably take three or four days at the earliest."
"Then don't be too anxious."
Li Zimu said softly, "Since the young master originally planned to use Su Qi to lure Jing Guoqing out, and now it has not reached the point where it must be changed, I think it is better to act according to the previous plan."
"Young Master should think so, otherwise why would he have spared Su Qi's life just now."
"Well, I don't think we've reached that point yet."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "But since what happened today has happened, we must have some reaction, otherwise it would be too fake."
"It's simple."
Li Zimu pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Just make Su Qi pay a price as he wishes."
“Is that so.”
Looking at Li Zimu's expression, Wei Changtian immediately understood what she meant.
To put it bluntly, you have to act very tough first, as if you are ready to kill people.
Then, under Su Qi's pleading, he pretended to "give in" and accepted the conditions he proposed.
"I see. Then you go and talk to him first, and I'll come out and act out a scene at the end."
Nodding, Wei Changtian said with a smile: "I will definitely make Su Qi bleed heavily by then."
"Yes, that's what I mean."
On the other side, Li Zimu also smiled: "So although we don't know the cause of today's accident, it may still be a good thing for you, young master."
"Now that you put it that way it's true."
Wei Changtian sat down and stretched with a relaxed look on his face: "Okay, then let's wait for Su Qi to come."
"Um"
“.”
In this way, Wei Changtian and Li Zimu discussed the next plan.
It was obvious that they were setting a trap for Su Qi by taking advantage of his own strategy.
And the latter is bound to fall into this trap.
After all, no matter from which angle you analyze it, Su Qi is not ready for a complete turn against Wei Changtian, so he must be afraid that Wei Changtian will take the 200,000 surrendered soldiers outside the city, or even the people of Linchuan City, for revenge in his "rage".
Then, he could only come to Wei Changtian again in the hope of delaying for a while, and pay some price for it. The situation suddenly changed, and it was all because of those ten assassins.
They seemed to want to assassinate Wei Changtian, but in the end the result was actually beneficial to Wei Changtian.
I don’t know if this is just a coincidence or someone did it on purpose.
