Chapter 925 Xu Suisui Arrives
Five days later.
Daqian, Zhongding Prefecture.
Dust was flying and black flags were everywhere. The rebel army marched more than a thousand miles in five days. Now it would take about six or seven days to reach the capital of Daqian.
It is not quite accurate to say that it was “killed to the end”.
Because along the way, there were 40,000 Tengu troops, plus 200,000 Daqian surrendered soldiers, and tens of thousands of Linchuan defenders, a total of nearly 300,000 people, who had never experienced even a battle.
The reason for this was that, on the one hand, the troops of all the prefectures of Daqian were transferred to the capital, and they had no strength to fight against the rebels.
On the other hand, Wei Changtian had no intention of conquering any city, and he turned a blind eye to any city he encountered along the way. At most, he sent people into the city to "collect" some food and fodder.
One dares not to cause trouble, and the other is too lazy to cause trouble, so naturally there will be no conflict.
This made the army of nearly 300,000 people look less like a rebel army and more like a loyal army going to the capital to defend the king. "Sir, this is the secret letter Duan Fangping sent back this morning."
"According to the letter, nearly 500,000 soldiers from various provinces have gathered in Daqian Capital. All city gates have been sealed and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Jing Guoqing has not appeared in public for several days, and the daily morning pilgrimage has been cancelled and replaced with a small pilgrimage with only a few people attending."
"Besides that, Senior Duan also said that the things that the young master had previously instructed have been almost completed."
At sunset, the army set up camp by a river, and soon there were wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys.
Inside the main account, Zhang San was telling Wei Changtian the important information he had received today, which was basically all about Jing Guoqing.
Before arriving at Linchuan Prefecture, Wei Changtian sent Duan Fangping's "Four Evil Men" to the capital of Daqian, which was considered a move in advance.
In addition to gathering intelligence, the four of them actually have a more important mission, which is also a very important part of Wei Changtian's entire plan.
Except for Wei Changtian, no one else knew what this matter was.
Therefore, every time Zhang San reported the matter, he couldn't help but want to ask, but in the end he held back.
"Young Master, as for the Jiuzhen Sect, according to the information gathered by Elder Liu and the other three, Huo Tianyang is no longer in the sect, but his whereabouts have not yet been found."
"Then there is Miss Xu. She should be here tonight. Master Xu and Zhili just left the camp to meet her."
“.”
After talking about the situation of the Jiuzhen Sect and Xu Suisui, Zhang San finished telling everything and waited for Wei Changtian to give orders with his hands down.
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment with an expressionless face, then slowly asked:
"Um, when is dinner?"
“.”
Zhang San: “???”
An hour later.
The sun sets in the west and the new moon rises in the east.
Just as the steaming hot meals were brought into the main tent one by one, Xu Quan and Zhili were also having a simple dinner in a small post station about ten miles away from the army camp.
The two of them came to welcome Xu Suisui.
At that time, Wei Changtian suspected that Xu Suisui had leaked the information about the Son of Heaven to Guankong, so he asked her to rush to Linchuan immediately.
However, before Xu Suisui arrived, Wei Changtian had already left, so the former could only continue westward to catch up with the army.
After several days of traveling day and night, Xu Suisui was finally able to catch up with the army tonight, and Xu Quan, as a brother, loved his younger sister so much that he came here specially to pick her up.
As for Zhili, she insisted on coming along.
"You two, are you from the west?"
In the front hall of the post station, several torches were flickering, and an older postman placed a plate of pickles on the table of Xu Quan and Zhili.
Most post stations would provide meals for travelers, but of course it was not free. It was also a rare means of "generating income" for the hard job of postman.
However, due to the recent turbulent times, there are fewer merchants and travelers coming and going, so now only Xu Quan and Zhili stay and eat here.
The postman was probably bored, so he thought of talking to them.
"The rebels from Linchuan just attacked me this morning. Did you run into them when you came here?"
"Oh, we were taking a small path and didn't run into each other."
Xu Quan obviously didn't want to chat with the postman, so he lied a little in an attempt to end the topic.
But the latter "relented" and continued:
"It's good if you don't encounter it"
"I'm not trying to scare you. I heard that Wei Yanluo is extremely daring and any young lady he takes a fancy to will not be able to escape."
"This girl is so beautiful. If Wei Yanluo sees her, you will regret it."
As he spoke, shaking his head, the postman secretly glanced at Zhili.
Zhili was not annoyed, but instead a barely noticeable blush appeared on her face.
Of course, she didn't blush because the postman peeked at her, but because the postman's words undoubtedly made her and Xu Quan a couple.
However, Xu Quan did not have the same idea as her. He just looked at the postman helplessly and spoke more bluntly.
"Brother, we have to hurry on after dinner, you see."
"Oh, you guys eat, you guys eat."
The postman pouted and was not very satisfied with Xu Quan's attitude, but he still walked away leisurely.
When he walked away, Zhili recovered from her brief shyness and looked at Xu Quan with a smile and asked:
"Is what he said true or false?"
"What's true or false?"
"It's about Wei Changtian. Is your Young Master Wei really so obsessed with women?"
"These words are just rumors."
"Really? But I heard that Wei Changtian did marry several wives."
"With a status like yours, it's not surprising for you to have a few female confidantes."
Xu Quan shook his head indifferently: "Anyway, I have never seen you do such a thing as robbing a woman."
"Perhaps he just looks down on ordinary women."
Zhili sneered, "With that fox demon by his side, ordinary women really can't catch his eye."
“.”
It is obvious that although Wei Changtian did not do anything to Xu Quan in the end, Zhili still has no good feelings towards him, Yang Liushi, Zhang San, Li Zimu and others.
It can be said that except for Xu Quan, Zhili still maintains considerable hostility towards Wei Changtian and his group, so he naturally would not be polite when speaking at this moment.
Xu Quan felt quite helpless about this, but he didn't know what to say, so he kept silent and just focused on eating.
Zhili quickly noticed his abnormality, and after hesitating for a moment, he quietly apologized:
"Xu Quan, I shouldn't say that in front of you."
"No matter what, Wei Changtian saved Miss Xu after all."
"By the way, how did Miss Xu get to know Wei Changtian? Why was Wei Changtian willing to help her so much?"
".I have no idea."
Xu Quan paused while picking up the food: "My little sister never told me."
"Then she couldn't be."
The fragmented words stopped halfway through.
However, Xu Quan understood what she meant. She just thought that Xu Suisui and Wei Changtian were having an affair.
In fact, many people, including Yang Liushi, Zhang San, and even Wei Xianzhi, have this idea, but they have never confirmed it with the two "parties involved".
Because apart from this relationship, there is no reason for these two people to give so much to each other.
Wei Changtian was able to lead his troops across thousands of miles to rescue Xinfeng.
In order to protect Wei Changtian who was about to break through, Xu Suisui was able to withdraw the city defense formation.
There are many other small things that all show that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
Normally, Xu Quan should hope that something really happened between Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui.
After all, he is the latter's only relative. If the two really get married, he will be Wei Changtian's "brother-in-law" and his future will undoubtedly be bright.
But "It doesn't matter whether it is or not, my little sister has her own plans."
Shaking his head, Xu Quan said softly, "But to be honest, I don't want her ideal partner to be Young Master Wei."
(The final remarks will be posted a few days later, and will be updated today) (End of this chapter)
