Chapter 855 Who is it?
Within three days, Linchuan City will no longer exist in the world.
When Li Zimu did not put forward any preconditions but directly told Su Qi a "result", the latter's reaction can be imagined.
“W-what?!”
His heart seemed to stop beating. Su Qi stood up suddenly, and for a moment he felt dizzy.
Although Daqian had already made many arrangements in Linchuan City in order to deal with Wei Changtian, it would not allow the former to "do whatever he wants".
Even if anyone else said this, Su Qi would just think that the other person had a problem with his brain.
But this is Wei Changtian after all! If others can't do it, can this living devil definitely not do it either?
Su Qi didn't know whether Wei Changtian was bluffing or was really confident.
But he didn't dare to gamble anyway.
"You, you guys."
Su Qi took a step back with a pale face, staring at Li Zimu who looked calm, then suddenly turned around and walked quickly towards the stairs.
It was obvious that he was going to find Wei Changtian directly.
Li Zimu did not stop him, but just watched silently until an invisible barrier rose from the ground and instantly trapped Su Qi in place.
“.”
With his hands pressed tightly on the air wall of the Dragon Locking Formation, Su Qi's eyes became extremely shocked.
He was like a headless fly, bumping around in the formation, but he couldn't get out of the area of less than ten feet in radius.
At this moment, Su Qi's embarrassment and panic were not acted.
But he was not flustered by his situation.
It was because of the hundreds of thousands of people in Linchuan City. "Miss Li, please talk to Master Wei."
Turning his head back tremblingly, looking at Li Zimu who was still sitting there, Su Qi pleaded humbly: "No matter what, the people are innocent, they should not suffer this unprovoked disaster."
"I am willing to die today to atone for my crime, I only ask that you can show some mercy."
"I just ask you to show some leniency."
“.”
The voice became smaller and smaller, and the tone became sadder and sadder.
He was willing to use his own life to pay for the mistakes of those ten assassins in order to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Putting aside his stance, Su Qi was indeed noble.
However, in the face of this plea, Li Zimu did not react at all. He just stood up slowly and said respectfully to the end of the stairs: "Sir."
“.”
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes. Su Qi suddenly turned his head to look at Wei Changtian, who was standing behind him at some point, and wanted to say something with trembling lips.
But before he could open his mouth, Wei Changtian uttered three words expressionlessly.
"Why?"
Why? Why should you, Su Qi, let me go easy on you? Just for your life?
"Master Su, your life is not that valuable."
Looking at Su Qi coldly, Wei Changtian walked closer to him step by step: "So, why should I let the people of Linchuan City go?"
"But, but the people are innocent."
Su Qi widened his eyes and shook his head in despair: "Since ancient times, wars between two countries have not killed common people."
"Not killing commoners? That was before me."
With a sneer, Wei Changtian's words were as evil as they could be, and instantly made Su Qi's fear reach its peak.
But he wasn't done yet, and continued to put psychological pressure on the latter.
"Master Su, don't pretend to be a saint."
"Provoking a war and causing the people of another country to suffer, how is this different from killing people?"
"Perhaps you should have thought of the outcome today when you sent out the troops."
"Are you the only one allowed to kill people? I am not allowed to kill people?"
"Haha, there is no such thing in the world."
The coldness in his eyes became more and more intense, and coupled with these words, it made Su Qi feel as if he was falling into an icy cave.
He knew clearly that Wei Changtian was making excuses, but he didn't know how to refute him.
At this moment, Su Qi's psychological defenses were finally on the verge of collapse under the heavy pressure.
But at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly changed the subject and said with narrowed eyes: "But Lord Su, I can give you a chance."
“.”
With his mouth wide open in a daze, Su Qi looked at Wei Changtian. For some reason he vaguely guessed what the latter wanted.
And the facts were exactly as he expected.
"In ten days, I want to see Jing Guoqing."
"If you can do this, the people in Linchuan City will be able to survive."
"Master Su, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"As for whether you can grasp it, that depends on you."
“.”
The sun was bright and golden at noon, the sky was clear, and the cicadas were chirping in the trees.
The chaos in Linchuan City was still brewing, and the news of Wei Changtian's assassination had spread completely.
And in such a panic atmosphere, Su Qi left Guanyue Inn.
The carriage drove through the chaotic streets, and the body of the carriage swayed slightly due to the uneven ground.
But Su Qi was oblivious to everything around him, and his mind was still echoing with the last and only condition given by Wei Changtian.
In ten days, I want to see Jing Guoqing Su Qi is not stupid. He certainly knows why Wei Changtian must see Jing Guoqing, and he also understands why Jing Guoqing refuses to show up.
He knew even more clearly that if Jing Guoqing really came to Linchuan, there would be no way he would ever go back.
Therefore, from the perspective of a subject, Su Qi should undoubtedly report the matter truthfully, and then use all his strength to fight Wei Changtian to the death, even if he really has to sacrifice the lives of the people in the city to protect Jing Guoqing.
But After taking a deep breath, Su Qi's eyes revealed a trace of confusion.
This was a struggle he had never experienced before in his life.
As for what he will choose in the end, perhaps only he himself knows.
"How's it going? Did you find out anything?"
On the other side, just as Su Qi was struggling with whether or not to "rebel against the king", Wei Changtian and Li Zimu had already returned to the study.
Sitting down behind the desk, Wei Changtian asked in a deep voice:
"Who are those ten people?"
"My lord, it was indeed sent by Jing Guoqing."
Li Zimu immediately answered confidently: "However, they did not inform Su Qi and Jing Guoqing in advance of their actions today. They must have been instructed by someone else."
"really."
With his brows furrowed, Wei Changtian murmured, "But in this Daqian territory, who else can surpass Jing Guoqing in mobilizing such a group of experts?"
“And what is this person’s purpose?”
"Sir, in my opinion, it would be better to catch an assassin and interrogate him about this matter."
Li Zimu suggested in a low voice: "Perhaps the truth will be revealed."
“That’s right.”
Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then I will try tonight and see if I can catch someone back."
"You should leave the city and return to the Tengu Army first."
"If I succeed, I will go straight to you and you will judge me."
"Yes, I understand."
“.”
Soon, Li Zimu left the study.
Wei Changtian picked up a book of poetry and started flipping through it, but he was still thinking about the question.
