Chapter 853 Two Possibilities
On the other side, Linchuan Prefecture Yamen.
“Asshole!!”
“Asshole!!!”
The roar of extreme anger resounded in the meeting hall, mixed with the sound of broken porcelain.
Just when Wei Changtian was wondering why those ten assassins suddenly wanted to attack him, Su Qi actually wanted to get the answer very much.
"Tell me! Why are you doing this?!"
"Why did you lie to me?!"
With eyes wide open, Su Qi stared at the ten people standing in the hall, and said hoarsely, almost word by word: "If Wei Changtian was really so easy to kill, why would I have waited until now?!"
"Do you know what will happen to Linchuan City after today?!"
"If you don't know, I will tell you!"
“Blood is flowing like a river! Misery is everywhere!!”
"This is what you did!"
"This is what you guys did!!!"
“.”
There is no doubt that, as Wei Changtian and Li Zimu guessed, these ten assassins not only knew Su Qi, but were also most likely the masters that Jing Guoqing had summoned from all over Daqian to deal with Wei Changtian.
Cursing a group of top-three masters as "bastards" was enough to show how angry Su Qi was at the moment.
However, the masters who were scolded by him were very calm and didn't seem to care much about Su Qi's attitude.
"Humph, Lord Su, it's not your turn to teach us how to do things!"
With a cold snort, an old man in yellow said coldly: "Before coming to Linchuan, His Majesty only told us to discuss things with you and to act according to circumstances, but he never said that we should obey your orders."
"So what we did today shouldn't be considered deception, right?!"
The old man in yellow was obviously very dissatisfied with the tit-for-tat retort.
Su Qi became even more angry after hearing this. He took a step forward and asked again in a stern voice:
"Okay! Then I'll ask you this! Does His Majesty know what happened today?!"
"I will report to His Majesty later."
The old man in yellow sneered and replied, "Then you don't have to worry about it."
“.”
Report later.
Obviously, the implication of this sentence is that Jing Guoqing did not know before that these ten people were going to assassinate Wei Changtian today.
But why didn't they tell us about such a big move? Even if Su Qi didn't have the qualifications, Jing Guoqing must have.
The situation wasn't that urgent at the time, so how could there not even be time to send a secret letter? "Hahaha! Great!"
Su Qi realized something was wrong and couldn't help but laugh in anger: "Then why do you choose to do it today?"
"If you can't explain why, don't blame me for reporting you all as traitors to the court!"
"Master Su, you are asking the question."
Facing Su Qi's question again, the old man in yellow still had a cold expression:
"Can't you see the hundreds of corpses outside the city?"
"You kill a hundred of my Daqian soldiers every day. Do you really think we don't know about this?"
"If we don't get rid of Wei Changtian as soon as possible, are we just going to watch him kill people every day?"
"Master Su, you always talk about the honor of the country and dignity."
"Haha, you let the thieves slaughter our soldiers. Is this your backbone?"
“.”
Not only did he not admit his mistake, but he also mocked Su Qi for being spineless.
These few words made Su Qi so angry that he trembled all over.
He was angry at the actions of these ten people, but also at their stupidity.
"Then have you ever killed Wei Changtian?"
He slowly closed his eyes and opened them again after a few breaths.
After a while, Su Qi finally stopped trembling and looked straight at the old man in yellow and asked word by word: "Tell me, have you killed him?"
"this"
This seemingly nonsense question caused the old man in yellow to change his expression for the first time.
He just avoided Su Qi's gaze and snorted coldly, somewhat lacking confidence:
"Humph, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have succeeded by now."
“.”
Hearing these words which were obviously meant to "save face", Su Qi did not react excessively this time.
He just took a last deep look at the old man in yellow, glanced at the other nine people, and then walked out of the meeting hall without saying a word.
Su Qi didn't say another word, but his final look made the expressions of all ten people become complicated.
It was a look that was both compassionate and cold.
And these two emotions represent exactly two possibilities of this matter.
If these ten people were not instructed by a "third party", but simply took today's actions because they could not bear to see Wei Changtian stirring up trouble, then they are undoubtedly very stupid, and therefore we pity them.
But if these ten people were instructed by someone else, then who was the person behind the scenes?
Su Qi didn't know, but he understood that this person was most likely not helping him.
Half an hour later, at the Moon Viewing Inn.
"Sir, Su Qi is here."
When Zhang San found Wei Changtian in the guest room, the latter had actually seen Su Qi's carriage through the window.
Turning his head to look at Li Zimu, Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be so fast. I just don't know what he did in the past half hour."
"I'm afraid he's asking those assassins questions."
Li Zimu stood up, answered and then asked in a low voice: "Sir, has the servant gone there?"
"No hurry, leave him alone for a while."
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "Remember to try to find out the situation of those assassins."
"Yes, I remember it."
After hearing Wei Changtian say there was no rush, Li Zimu sat down again, lowered his head and quietly thought about his next words.
At the same time in the front hall of the inn, Su Qi was pacing back and forth anxiously.
In a short while, he had looked at the stairs five times, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.
Obviously, no matter whether those ten people were really stupid or were instructed by someone, the problem must be solved.
It was impossible for Su Qi to just watch Wei Changtian "killing everyone" in Linchuan City, so he had to come here again.
He certainly knew that he would have to pay a heavy price for this.
But this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that Wei Changtian might not even give himself the opportunity to “make an offer”.
Alas. Su Qi sighed deeply in his heart. He felt that the days passed by like years, and his palms were full of sweat.
From a rational point of view, he believed that Wei Changtian would not turn against him immediately, otherwise he would not have spared his life.
However, the sentence "The reason why I don't kill you now is that I don't want you to die so easily" made Su Qi feel that Wei Changtian might want him to watch Linchuan City destroyed with his own eyes as revenge. Thinking became more and more difficult, and the despair in his heart increased little by little with the passage of time.
I don’t know how long it took, just when Su Qi was already a little numb, a voice finally came from the second floor.
"Squeak"
The not-so-loud sound of the door opening made Su Qi stop instantly and look up suddenly.
But what he saw was not Wei Changtian, but the expressionless Li Zimu.
"Lord Su."
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
