Chapter 864 Beggar
The next morning.
Just like yesterday, before noon, a group of Tengu soldiers arrived outside Linchuan City again, dropped a hundred sacks and left.
Compared to yesterday, the defenders on the city wall today were obviously more mentally prepared, so they were not frightened again.
However, even so, this "inhumane" massacre still made many soldiers feel a chill.
On the one hand, they are angry.
On the other hand, they are also afraid.
Facing the arrogant Wei Changtian, both of these emotions have their reasons.
The one who felt this the most was probably Su Qi . The morning sun had not yet risen, and at this moment the Su residence was completely silent. The scent of the soil lingered on the tips of the dewy leaves, fresh and sad.
Su Qi stayed awake all night yesterday, thinking about the "deal" proposed by Wei Changtian.
Within ten days, let Jing Guoqing come to Linchuan.
Otherwise, there will be no Linchuan City in the world anymore. Ten days, no, there are only nine days left.
It takes at least five or six days just to travel from the capital to Linchuan.
But Su Qi hasn't made up his mind yet.
In fact, if it were someone else, they wouldn’t be so conflicted now.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the best way to deal with this matter is to report it truthfully to Jing Guoqing, and then mobilize all forces to fight Wei Changtian.
Not to mention that Wei Changtian may not really have the ability to massacre Linchuan City.
Even if it could be done, the ones who would die would only be common people.
There were tens of millions of people in Daqian, and the death of hundreds of thousands of people could not be said to be insignificant, but at least it would not cause serious damage.
But if Wei Changtian really killed Jing Guoqing, Daqian would undoubtedly be in danger of national destruction.
Therefore, this does not seem to be a difficult choice.
But it was extremely difficult for Su Qi.
To put it bluntly, he was afraid that Wei Changtian could and really dared to massacre the city. "Bang, bang, bang."
"Sir, there are another hundred bodies outside the city."
There was a knock on the door, and a black-clad guard pushed the door open and walked in. He quickly walked up to Su Qi and asked in a low voice:
"There are already a lot of rumors among the city's defense troops. I don't know how to deal with it?"
"Well, let them talk."
Shaking his head, Su Qi sighed helplessly.
He paused for a moment, then asked the black-clad attendant, "Has there been any reply from the capital?"
"Your Excellency, His Majesty already knows what happened yesterday."
The attendant bowed his head and replied, "This morning, the Secret Council just received a message from His Majesty saying that there is no need to pursue this matter further and that the overall situation should be taken into consideration."
“Is that so.”
Su Qi smiled bitterly, as if he had expected this answer.
It was obvious that the ten assassins were instructed by others to assassinate Wei Changtian.
Jing Guoqing didn't know who was behind the scenes, and he didn't dare to check.
After all, the current situation is special, and Daqian still needs these ten people to deal with Wei Changtian, so they can only swallow their anger temporarily and pretend that nothing happened.
Wei Changtian's ten-day deadline A mysterious person whose identity is unknown He turned his head and looked out the window. The complicated situation made Su Qi feel confused.
But he also knew that everything had its priorities.
But for me, the most important thing right now is... "Grinding ink."
After giving a soft instruction, Su Qi slowly straightened his clothes.
"I want to write to your Majesty."
“.”
It is obvious that Su Qi did not "betray" Jing Guoqing in the end.
Or at least he is not capable of doing something like "treason" now.
This undoubtedly means that he will completely break off relations with Wei Changtian and fight to the death.
The latter had actually anticipated this.
"Sir."
On the shaking carriage, Li Zimu and Wei Changtian, who had returned to Linchuan City from the Tengu Army camp, were preparing to go to a place.
Looking at Wei Changtian with a calm expression, Li Zimu asked in a low voice:
"Today is the second day, but there is still no news from Su Qi."
"Sir, if it is what I think, he would not lure Jing Guoqing to Linchuan."
".I know."
Nodding, Wei Changtian replied calmly: "I never thought he would do what I said."
"Really?"
His expression became a little surprised, and Li Zimu asked again with a little doubt: "Then why did you propose this condition at that time?"
"We have to let him prepare himself mentally first."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Su Qi is not rebelling now because he has not been forced into a desperate situation."
"Wait a few days until Liu Shi and the others come back with the monsters. Then he won't be able to decide for himself."
"But in this case, Su Qi will definitely plan ahead and try to take the initiative."
Li Zimu frowned and said, "Sir, why don't we stay in the Tengu Army for the next two days? There are always some dangers in the city."
"No problem."
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "He knows that it is extremely difficult to kill me, so he will definitely not act immediately. He will definitely delay for a few days in order to set up a killing situation."
"And the Tengu Army outside the city is enough to give him a headache."
"So don't worry too much these days."
"Um"
Li Zimu responded softly. Although he agreed with Wei Changtian's opinion, he still thought that they should not take the risk.
But since Wei Changtian had made up his mind, she couldn't persuade him anymore, so she just changed the subject and said, "By the way, sir, I thought about Huo Tianyang's matter again last night, and I felt..."
"ah!"
Suddenly, accompanied by a light cry from Li Zimu, the galloping carriage suddenly slowed down and stopped without any warning.
The neighing of horses was shrill, and Zhang San's shouting immediately followed.
"Hold!"
"Don't you have eyes?!"
"Get out of here!"
“.”
The voice was very loud and the tone was very impolite.
Although Zhang San is usually respectful in front of Wei Changtian, he is even more cowardly and "henpecked" in front of Li Suyue.
But when facing others, he still maintains his usual style of an "outlaw", and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is "arrogant and domineering".
After hearing his shout, Wei Changtian lifted the car curtain and frowned as he asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Young Master!"
Pointing to an old beggar standing only half a meter in front of the carriage, Zhang San began to explain:
"Just now this person suddenly ran over from the side of the road. If I hadn't reacted in time, I would have bumped into him."
"oh."
Glancing at the frightened old beggar, Wei Changtian didn't take it seriously and casually said, "Let's go."
"yes"
After responding, Zhang San turned his head and glared at the old beggar.
"You are lucky today! My master won't bother with you!"
“Get out of the way!”
".Ah, yes, yes."
The old beggar shuddered and seemed to come to his senses, and quickly rolled and crawled to the side of the road.
After he moved out of the way, Zhang San didn't waste any time. He waved the whip and the carriage started moving slowly again.
The black carriage soon disappeared at the end of the street, and the people who were watching the excitement dispersed without even saying a word.
The carriage of the noble young man almost hit an old beggar who was not very smart. If the man had been killed, or if the noble young man had bullied others by taking advantage of his power, it would have been worth talking about.
But now it is just an ordinary little accident.
But "it's kind of interesting."
Looking at the direction the carriage left, the old beggar muttered to himself, with an amusement on his face that was totally unbefitting of someone of his status.
