Chapter 941 "Battle Royale"
There is no doubt that Li Zimu's concerns are not unreasonable.
The information about the thirteen Sons of Heaven has been leaked. So in the future these thirteen people, or the ten living people plus Wei Changtian, are destined to be caught in an unprecedented "Battle Royale".
However, due to Wei Changtian's notoriety, even if he is not known to the whole world, he is at least a household name in the nearby countries. I don't think many people would dare to seek their own death.
Therefore, the other ten people scattered everywhere are undoubtedly better targets for hunting.
Then we can imagine how dangerous Tang Chen's situation is. "I know you are worried about his safety."
After looking at Li Zimu, Wei Changtian shook his head regretfully.
"It's just that he's far away in Dajue, and we really can't help him."
"But he is not an ordinary person, and his methods are also extraordinary, so."
“Oh, I hope I can survive.”
Wei Changtian is not Li Zimu, so of course he would not care too much about Tang Chen's affairs. Therefore, after saying a few words, he shifted the topic back to his group.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about how we should deal with the next situation."
"Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
“.”
A horse-drawn carriage sped past on the empty official road, raising dust that filled the air and then slowly fell back down.
It took two hours from noon to dusk before the carriage stopped at a deserted post station, and everyone got off to rest.
After a period of rapid march, Wei Changtian and his companions had already caught up with the rebel army. Outside the post station, there were densely packed black-armored soldiers marching with their heads down, and the tips of their spears reflected cold rays in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Over the past two hours, after discussions among everyone, Wei Changtian roughly determined the principles for dealing with this "turbulent times".
In fact, there are not many paths before him, or all the sons of heaven, basically only two.
Or they can hide and live in misery.
Either they stick together for warmth, or they join a trustworthy big force.
For people like Tang Chen, the former is undoubtedly a better choice.
After all, considering their identities as the Sons of Heaven, it is highly likely that they will not be able to find anyone worthy of trust.
But for Wei Changtian, he couldn't and shouldn't hide.
Therefore, all he could do was to "respond to changes with constancy" and face the challenge head-on.
He even had to tell all those who tried to kill him and take his fortune in some way -
If you dare to come, you will die.
To put it bluntly, Wei Changtian not only did not hide, but instead took this opportunity to completely "make a name for himself".
The reason for this choice was, on the one hand, out of helplessness, and on the other hand, it was actually Wei Changtian's own wish.
Because he always felt that the real purpose of the person behind the scenes was to make himself the "target of public criticism".
Since nothing can be changed, I might as well become the "target".
And when no one dares to shoot arrows at this "target", the person who still dares to draw the bow will undoubtedly be his ultimate enemy.
"Sir, a letter from Weiyang Palace."
A quarter of an hour later, in the front hall of the post station.
Hot water was boiling in the empty house. The postman who originally lived here had probably run away to somewhere unknown to avoid the war, so Li Zimu and Yang Liushi had to boil water and make tea themselves.
Wei Changtian sat at a wooden table with Xu Quan and Xu Suisui beside him.
The three of them were talking, but Zhang San suddenly ran in from outside and their communication came to a temporary halt.
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded calmly, took the envelope, opened it, glanced at it casually, and then threw it on the table.
The letter was from Ning Yuke, and its content was nothing more than asking whether the matter about the Son of Heaven was true and what to do next.
Wei Changtian has received several similar secret letters from Wei Xianzhi, Liang Zhen, Ning Wenjun and others.
It seems that everyone has received the news and contacted me immediately.
Wei Changtian was not surprised at all and did not explain much. He mostly admitted that the Son of Heaven was true and said that he had already made arrangements.
In addition to these, as if to prove how quickly the situation was developing, a quarter of an hour ago he and Xu Suisui received news from the Jiuzhen Sect and Fengyuan respectively.
The four top-three-rank masters from the Jiuzhen Sect reported back that a major riot had broken out in the sect, and several elders had teamed up to attempt to surround and kill Huo Tianyang, but the latter had escaped and is now missing.
Feng Yuan received a message from Shen Ran, saying that someone was following him outside his residence, so he decided to find a place to hide for the time being.
There is no doubt that the above signs show that people are not as patient as imagined. Many people have already started to act, fearing that they will miss such a great opportunity if it is too late.
But these people don’t think about it. The Son of Heaven cannot be killed casually by them.
Taking a step back, even if he could be killed, how could I protect myself after taking away the destiny of Heaven? "Okay, just reply as I did to the previous letters."
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian gave an order, and then asked, "Have you found out where the news came from?"
“Not yet.”
Zhang San put away the secret letter and answered truthfully in a deep voice: "It was the Tianji Pavilion that first revealed this matter in Daning. The Xuanjing Division has sent people to the Tianji Pavilion, but no results have been found yet."
"However, judging from the current situation, even if we can find intelligence from the Tianji Pavilion to help, it is highly likely that it is not the original leaker."
"Well, let's check it out first. Also, let the spies heading to the White Horse Temple set off as soon as possible."
"Understood, sir."
“.”
After answering, Zhang San quickly turned around and left.
Wei Changtian chatted with Xu Suisui and Xu Quan for a while, then got up and walked out of the inn.
The setting sun, the old tree, the crows, and the shadows of the flying geese.
Standing at the entrance of the post station, watching the army passing by, Wei Changtian's face had no expression.
Since the military is not allowed to contact the outside world, the soldiers now have no idea what has happened.
But sooner or later it will reach their ears.
I don't know how these people will react when they see me again, and whether anyone will want to "give it a try". Alas.
Looking up at the setting sun which was already halfway into the sky, Wei Changtian sighed in his heart.
"Husband."
Suddenly, Yang Liushi's slightly worried voice sounded beside him: "The tea is ready, come in and have some."
"Um."
Nodding, Wei Changtian smiled at Yang Liushi, then turned around and was about to go back to the house.
But just as he was about to cross the threshold, he looked back, not knowing what he was looking at.
"My husband, what are you looking at?"
"nothing."
Wei Changtian withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.
"I don't know what's going on with Chu Xianping."
"If only he were still here."
