Chapter 854 You Have No Chance
"Miss Li"
Only half a day later, Su Qi met Li Zimu again, and his mood was undoubtedly very complicated.
He watched the former walk down the stairs step by step, forced a smile and bowed, saying, "Where is Master Wei?"
“.”
From Wei Changtian to Young Master Wei, this was the first time Su Qi used a respectful title.
Li Zimu smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically, "Why, Master Su, are you here to ask for forgiveness?"
"Let me guess, are you going to say this matter has nothing to do with you?"
"this"
His expression froze, and Su Qi didn't know what to say for a moment.
Of course he couldn't "tell the truth".
Regardless of whether he ordered the assassination or not, he must now distance himself from the ten assassins.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, Su Qi whispered, "Miss Li, Young Master Wei was assassinated in Linchuan. This official cannot escape the blame."
"It was my negligence that gave the assassin this opportunity. I will never shirk my responsibility."
"I hope you can inform Master Wei and allow me to meet him in person."
"Master Su, I'm afraid that this statement can't even fool a three-year-old child."
Before Su Qi could finish, Li Zimu suddenly interrupted and said, "You and I are both smart people. What's the point of saying this?"
“.”
His fingers trembled slightly, and Su Qi's eyes looked somewhat desperate.
Of course he knew that what he had just said was full of loopholes and could not be more false.
After all, under normal circumstances, it is rare for a prefecture to have a few third-grade masters, and a second-grade one is even rarer.
And now, ten top-three-rank masters appeared in Linchuan City at the same time. Anyone would know that they were definitely sent by Jing Guoqing to deal with Wei Changtian.
Therefore, the reason why Su Qi said this was just to test Li Zimu's attitude.
If Li Zimu also pretends to be stupid, it means that there is still a possibility of easing the situation.
But if Li Zimu doesn't give any face like he is doing now, it means "Yes, these ten people are indeed from the capital"
Slowly sitting opposite Li Zimu, Su Qi's face was full of bitterness.
"Your Majesty originally sent them to Linchuan just to be on the safe side, but I never thought that they would do something wrong today."
"Not only am I unaware of this matter, but even His Majesty is unaware of it."
"Well, now that things have come to this, I have nothing to defend myself."
"only."
"Miss Li, is there really no room for easing this matter?"
Looking up at Li Zimu, Su Qi's eyes were extremely lonely.
After realizing that Li Zimu was not buying it, he immediately changed his story, which was 90% true and 10% false.
Yes, he really didn’t know that these ten people were going to assassinate Wei Changtian today, and Jing Guoqing really didn’t know either.
But the purpose of these people coming to Linchuan was definitely not "just in case", but to kill Wei Changtian.
It's just that they acted too early. Just by changing a word, the nature of the matter was completely changed. It must be said that Su Qi's "language level" is indeed good.
As for how much truth and falsehood he is showing now, it can only be said that it is not much different from what he said.
"Lord Su, do you think there is still room for easing the situation?"
On the other side, Li Zimu still had a sarcastic expression.
"Obviously, this matter doesn't need to be brought to this point. If Jing Guoqing was willing to come to Linchuan to talk to you, everything might have been resolved long ago."
"But not only did he not want to show up, he even instructed assassins to kill you."
"Haha, Lord Su."
"If it were you, what would you do?"
"this"
After opening his mouth, Su Qi was speechless.
He couldn't answer this question.
People are about to kill you, who can not fight back?
What's more, Wei Changtian is a vicious and vindictive person, how could he let it go?
"Miss Li, what if I tie up the assassin and present him to Master Wei?"
Suddenly, Su Qi looked up as if he had made up his mind and asked, "Is there anything else we can discuss about this?"
“.”
Tie up the assassin and hand him over to Wei Changtian for punishment.
It is hard to say whether this was something Su Qi had planned long ago or just a sudden idea.
However, since he said this, it means that he has subconsciously created some estrangement with the Daqian court or Jing Guoqing.
After all, if not for this, even if he had to break up with Wei Changtian at this moment, he would never betray Daqian’s “core combat power”.
Of course, this could also be just Su Qi's delaying tactic, and he would not actually hand over the person.
Therefore, it is difficult to say whether it is true or false.
But no matter what, Li Zimu only needed one question to make Su Qi silent again.
"Master Su, can you do this?"
"I"
He widened his eyes slightly, then slowly lowered them after a moment.
It was as if I had lost all my strength all of a sudden, and there was no further news after "I".
Because Li Zimu’s question was too to the point.
Let’s not talk about whether this is your conspiracy, Su Qi.
Even if it wasn't, how could you have tied up ten top-3 masters? Just relying on your words? "."
Just like that, the room fell into dead silence, and the midday sun seemed to become less bright.
Until Su Qi asked the last question tremblingly.
"Wei, what is Master Wei going to do?"
Asking the enemy what their next plan is is undoubtedly a ridiculous move.
But facing this question that seemed to be unanswerable, Li Zimu did not make any more sarcastic remarks, but just smiled and said:
"Lord Su, you should know what happened in Yongding City."
"Yongding City"
Su Qi slowly raised his head, his eyes a little confused.
Of course he knew what Wei Changtian had done in Yongding City.
He killed a prince and a prince, and then supported Gongsun Yan to fight for the throne.
After the latter was captured, he used Daqian's 200,000 surrendered soldiers to put pressure on the people in the city, and finally forced Lu Yuanjin to give up killing Gongsun Yan and eventually hang himself.
From an outsider's perspective, this can be called a "brilliant" plan.
But Su Qi didn’t understand how this related to the current situation in Linchuan.
Fortunately, Li Zimu didn't let him wait too long, and quickly explained:
"Master Su, at that time, Lv Yuanjin captured Gongsun Yan and threatened to behead him in public."
"The young master said at that time that if Gongsun Yan died, he would let all the people in Yongding City be buried with him."
"I can tell you clearly that if Lv Yuanjin had insisted on doing what he wanted, Yongding City would have become a dead city by now."
"In the end, Gongsun Yan survived, and the young master kept his promise and did not harm anyone in the city."
“So now.”
"So what do you want to bet with me, sir?!"
With his eyes wide open, Su Qi seemed to understand what Li Zimu was going to say.
In the big episode, Wei Changtian gambled the lives of everyone in the city with Gongsun Yan's life and death.
And now, what is Wei Changtian's bet? Su Qi's breathing suddenly became extremely rapid, and his face turned from white to red.
He was very afraid that he would hear a "bet" from Li Zimu that he could not fulfill, so he was extremely uneasy.
However, Li Zimu's answer was a hundred times more terrifying than the worst case scenario he had imagined.
"bet?"
"Master Su, you should know that in Yongding, no one dared to send someone to assassinate you."
"That's why you gave them this opportunity."
"But what about you?"
"Since you intend to take my life, you will never have another chance."
In Su Qi's terrified eyes, Li Zimu smiled and said softly, "Master Su, I might as well tell you the truth."
"From now on, within three days, there will no longer be any Linchuan City in this world."
