Regarding the group of horse bandits who "escorted" Lao Zhangtou out of the desert, Wei Changtian did not cause any trouble for them, and even rewarded them with three thousand taels of silver with a wave of his hand.
After all, no matter what their purpose was, they finally brought Old Zhangtou out safely and kept serving him delicious food and drinks.
For this merit, a reward of some money is not excessive.
As for the murderous and smuggling activities they had done before...what does this have to do with themselves?
Justice?
Sorry, I don't have that spare time.
Wei Changtian originally thought that this matter would be settled, but he didn't expect that there were still people who wanted to defect to him.
In fact, similar things have not happened before, but Chu Xianping was responsible for handling it at that time.
If the other party is valuable, then first absorb it into the Freemasonry and investigate it slowly.
If it's not valuable, just find any reason to reject it.
So, is this person valuable now?
"Ahem, brother, get up quickly."
Taking a step forward and helping the young man up from the ground, Wei Changtian also took a serious look at him for the first time.
He is about the same height as himself, but his back is always slightly hunched, and he is always half a head shorter than himself.
His appearance is relatively ordinary, and he belongs to the crowd, but he is not as ordinary as Xiao Feng, who can tell at a glance that "this person is extraordinary".
The skin is not as dark as most horse bandits, but it is definitely not fair.
To sum it up simply, he is an ordinary person.
Or an ordinary horse bandit who has just fallen into the grass.
"Brother, I speak outright, but I hope you don't take it seriously."
Smiling, Wei Changtian said straight to the point: "You are willing to surrender to me, so you think highly of me."
"But I already have quite a few people under my command. If I give my brother an ordinary job, I'm afraid I will be undermining his talents."
"so......"
"Master Wei."
Suddenly, the young man interrupted and said, "Can you please allow me to say one more thing?"
"Say." Wei Changtian nodded without changing his expression.
"good."
The young man paused for a moment and then asked seriously: "I heard from Senior Zhang that he was assassinated in the Gobi Desert. I wonder if you have traced the whereabouts of the culprit?"
"No." Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes.
"Then I wonder if the young master can give this villain a chance?"
"Okay, I'll give you one night."
Wei Changtian answered simply: "If you can find out where these killers are before midnight tomorrow morning, you can follow me from now on."
"..."
It is undoubtedly difficult to find out the whereabouts of a group of assassins who have obviously received "professional training" in one night. I am afraid that even if Chu Xianping comes, he may not be able to do it.
The young man probably knew that he had no room for bargaining, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, sir, but I need to borrow fifty officials for my use."
"no problem."
"I still need to borrow two hours of Senior Zhang's effort."
"Yes, but you must ensure his safety."
"Master, just don't worry."
"Okay, I will send someone to inform him."
After taking a deep look at the man in front of him, Wei Changtian said one last word and turned around to leave.
"If you can do it, I guarantee that you will become a successful person from now on."
...
"Da da da, da da da..."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the rapid sound of horse hooves gradually faded away and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Among this group of people was the reluctant Lao Zhangtou.
Wei Changtian wasn't too worried about his safety.
After all, the fifty officials accompanying him are all masters, and their first priority is to protect Lao Zhangtou, so they are not afraid even if they encounter those assassins again.
As for the deal with the horse bandit... Wei Changtian didn't think the other party could do it.
"Squeak~"
He withdrew his gaze and slowly closed the wooden window.
Wei Changtian looked back at Li Wutong, who had followed him into the house, and asked with a smile: "Princess, what are you doing? Do you want to sleep with me?"
"..."
Although Li Wutong was used to Wei Changtian saying some outrageous things from time to time, "sleeping with a big quilt" was so vulgar that she was stunned for a long time before blushing and spitting:
"Bah! Shameless!"
"Well, I've always been shameless."
Wei Changtian nodded, "not ashamed but proud" and sat down at the table: "Princess, what on earth do you want to do?"
"this......"
Li Wutong's cheeks turned redder, hesitantly took a step closer, and slowly raised his right hand to Wei Changtian's eyes.
"Give it, give it to me..."
If Li Wutong said "Give it to me" at this time, then Wei Changtian might have started to have wild ideas.
But since the person said "Give it to me", it means that Li Wutong is indeed asking for something from himself.
"What for you?" Wei Changtian was confused.
"Heaven, Tianyuan Pill..."
Li Wutong was a little embarrassed: "You, since you don't need it, then give it back to me."
"Oh, what did I think it was?"
Wei Changtian spread his hands: "Princess, you have already given Tianyuan Pill to me, why should I go back?"
"But, you deceived that from me!"
When Li Wutong saw Wei Changtian acting rogue, he immediately became anxious: "It would be fine if it were any other pill, but this Tianyuan Pill is extremely precious. My father only gave me one. If..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Wei Changtian was not interested in listening to Li Wutong's complaints, and interrupted with a straight face: "Princess, I don't like hearing what you say. When did I lie to you?"
"I took out the Tianyuan Pill because I thought you were injured!"
The more Li Wutong talked, the angrier he became: "But you still took the elixir away even though you were not injured. Isn't this a lie to me?!"
"Princess, first of all, I told you that I was fine, but you didn't believe it."
Faced with Li Wutong's question, Wei Changtian just replied slowly and calmly: "Secondly, I also said at the time that I would take this Tianyuan Pill in the future..."
"But you haven't eaten yet!" Li Wutong shouted.
"I'm talking about the future, not now."
Wei Changtian continued to lie: "Princess, although I was not injured this time, there are so many enemies like me, so I can't guarantee that my life will be in danger someday."
"When the time comes, if I take this Tianyuan Pill again, will it have the same effect?"
"Since the original intention of you taking out the Tianyuan Pill is to heal my wounds, as for whether it is to heal the current injury or the future injury...is there any difference?"
"this......"
After listening to Wei Changtian's "analysis", Li Wutong suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Why does it sound... quite reasonable?
My true intention was to heal him.
If that's the case, it seems that we really shouldn't get the Tianyuan Pill back.
"I, I understand, then just keep the Tianyuan Pill..."
The more Li Wutong thought about it, the more stingy he felt, and he wanted to turn around and run away after saying a few words.
However, Wei Changtian suddenly stopped her at this moment.
"Princess, I think since you have wronged me, shouldn't you..."
"Yes, sorry!"
"boom!"
With an abrupt apology, the door was slammed shut.
Listening to the hurried footsteps outside the house getting smaller and smaller, a smile suddenly appeared on Wei Changtian's lips unconsciously, but then the smile suddenly stopped and froze on his face.
Damn! I actually thought Li Wutong was a bit cute just now???
