Just when Yan Huanwen had discovered Wei Changtian's identity and was preparing to keep him in Bailing Mountain forever, the latter had been negotiating with Su Xiu for a quarter of an hour.
On the one hand, it is just to get people, but on the other hand, it is also intentional about letting people go.
There is no essential conflict of interest between the two parties, and both parties are somewhat wary of each other, so the smell of gunpowder in their words is getting weaker and weaker now.
But at this moment, a maid in a green skirt suddenly came out from behind the screen, walked up to Su Xiu and whispered something into her ear.
"..."
For a moment, Su Xiu's expression showed a look of surprise that was hard to hide.
She glanced at Wei Changtian subconsciously, then looked away with a smile, and whispered to the maid:
"I understand, step back."
"yes......"
Lowering her head, the maid quickly retreated.
Su Xiu explained to Wei Changtian softly:
"I'm sorry, something urgent happened just now. My subordinates don't understand the rules. I hope you won't blame me."
"Oh, no problem."
Wei Changtian nodded indifferently: "If there is anything you need my help with, Lord Demon King, just ask."
"I won't bother Mr. Wei anymore. I can still handle it."
Su Xiu's hands hidden under the desk were tightly clenched, but her face still had a calm look.
"Oh, by the way, I have sent people to prepare a banquet. It happens to be almost noon. How about we eat and talk at the same time?"
"There is nothing good to eat in the remote mountains. They are just some common mountain delicacies and wild fruits. I hope the young master will not dislike them."
Have a meal?
Hearing Su Xiu's words, Wei Changtian was slightly startled, but he didn't have too much doubt.
It is indeed almost noon now, so there is nothing wrong with arranging a banquet.
but......
"You are so polite, Lord Demon King. Next time I come to visit Bailing Mountain, I will definitely taste the rare and unique flavors in the mountain."
Wei Changtian smiled and cupped his hands: "But this time it is really a pity. I still have many important things to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
"I hope that the Demon King can return this bitchy concubine to me as soon as possible. Thank you very much."
"..."
Although Su Xiu was very beautiful, Wei Changtian still didn't really want to stay for dinner to avoid long nights and many dreams.
What's more, there were indeed many things that needed him to deal with in Liangzhou, so he politely rejected Su Xiu's "kindness".
However, the latter obviously would not give up just like that.
"Mr. Wei, it's easy to talk about Miss Liu. I have arranged for someone to bring her to the Golden Palace."
"But she lives a little far away. I'm afraid it will take more than an hour to reunite with the young master."
"Instead of waiting around during this period, young master, it would be better for me to let you fulfill your duties as a landlord."
"Besides..."
Having said this, Su Xiu's expression slowly turned serious.
She looked at Wei Changtian and said seriously:
"I have another matter that I would like to discuss with you."
"another thing?"
Wei Changtian paused, then raised his head and looked back at Su Xiu.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded slightly.
"Okay, then I'll be more respectful than obey."
"..."
...
A quarter of an hour later, the back hall of the Golden Palace.
The spacious and elegant dining hall is located next to a small lake. There is a waterfall falling directly outside the window, and its sound is full of sounds, like jade.
There are not many types of dishes on the table, but each one is extremely exquisite, and they are all rare wild fruits on the human table.
The Man-Han banquet was accustomed to eating big fish and meat. Wei Changtian didn't feel that Su Xiu was neglecting him when he happened to see such a table of vegetarian dishes. On the contrary, he was quite interested.
And when he actually took these exquisite side dishes into his mouth, he discovered that the ingredients in them actually had uses such as concentrating the mind, promoting blood circulation, and improving Qi.
To put it bluntly, I am using some medicinal materials that are not too overbearing to cook.
Good guy, this is indeed the seventh demon land, there are so many of these things.
In the future, we may be able to use the teleportation array to do some medicinal materials trading with this place...
Wei Changtian was rude here and kept thinking wildly while eating.
But Su Xiu didn't eat much. After drinking a few glasses of wine with him, he said with a smile:
"Master Wei, the four seniors who came with you have been arranged to have dinner on the other side of the lake. Just don't worry."
"Well, thank you."
Nodding, Wei Changtian asked casually: "By the way, didn't the Demon King just say that he still had something to discuss with me? But I don't know what it is?"
"this......"
A complicated expression flashed across Su Xiu's face, and his voice lowered a bit.
"Master Wei, since you are from Daning, you should know that Dajue and Daning are about to go to war."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Changtian's chopsticks, which he was about to pick up a piece of wild ginseng, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
His expression changed for a moment, but he soon returned to normal. He put the wild ginseng into the small bowl in front of him, lowered his head and replied:
"Of course I know about such a big thing."
"Then Young Master, can you help me bring a message to Emperor Daning or the important ministers in the court?" Su Xiu asked again.
"Bring a message?"
This time, Wei Changtian no longer pretended to be calm, but looked up at Su Xiu and asked some meaningful questions:
"Master Demon King, why do you think I am so capable?"
"This... Mr. Wei, there is no need to worry too much."
Obviously, Su Xiu should have anticipated this scene, so he was not panicking at the moment.
"Although I have never known anything about Daning, I can see that the young master has extraordinary temperament and noble birth."
"What's more, the four old men accompanying the young master also have extraordinary momentum. I think they are all rare masters."
"To be able to win over them as disciples, the young master's family should be extremely powerful in Daning."
"In this way, it will not be difficult for the young master to bring a few words to several court officials."
"..."
The waterfall hangs upside down, shining with silver light, plummeting down thousands of miles.
After listening to Su Xiu's explanation, Wei Changtian slowly put down his chopsticks and remained silent for a long time before asking again:
"Sir Demon King, even if I can speak in front of Daning's important ministers and even the emperor, what words are you going to ask me to bring to them?"
"It's very simple."
Su Xiu raised her hand and waved, and several maids in the room immediately bent down and exited the door.
Then, she said calmly amidst the rushing sound of the waterfall:
"Just say that I, Bai Lingshan, am willing to secretly help Daning win this national war!"
"..."
Bai Lingshan is willing to help Daning?
what's the situation?
On the way up the mountain, Wei Changtian wanted to make a deal with Su Xiu, so that the latter could find opportunities to cause trouble in Dajue.
But he never thought that before he could speak, Su Xiu would actually bring it up.
Logically speaking, this should be a good thing.
However, there was no smile on Wei Changtian's face at this time, and instead his expression became even colder.
He squinted at Su Xiu and asked quietly:
"Why?"
"Bailing Mountain is located within the territory of Dajue. If you really want to help, you should help Dajue."
"Did you, Bai Lingshan, have any issues with the Dajue court?"
"Holiday?"
Su Xiu shook his head, with a wry smile on his face.
She looked directly into Wei Changtian's eyes and said seriously:
"Master Wei, it's not that Bai Lingshan has a feud with the Dajue court, but that this king has a feud with the Emperor Dajue."
"No, it's not just about celebrating, it's about hating!"
