As soon as Wei Changtian said these words, Chu Xianping immediately bowed his head and took a step back. Xu Heng, who was opposite him, also sat back on his chair with an ugly expression.
Everyone knows that the next step will be a head-to-head confrontation between Wei Changtian and Yan Huaiqing.
"oh?"
Looking at Wei Changtian with a smile, Yan Huaiqing had a playful expression.
"Mr. Wei, I just said what I wanted, General Xu, but Mr. Chu didn't agree."
"What? Do you have a disagreement with Mr. Chu?"
"That's not true."
Wei Changtian shook his head and repeated it in a calm tone.
"Your Highness, apart from that, what else do you want to explain?"
"..."
His eyes turned cold, and the smile on Yan Huaiqing's face gradually faded.
"Mr. Wei, this is a bit too much."
"You want me to withdraw my troops, but you don't want to pay any price. Isn't this rational and reasonable?"
"Can't you explain it?"
Curling his lips, Wei Changtian slowly picked up the tea cup.
"Your Highness, didn't you and Mr. Chu make it very clear just now?"
"You don't want to fight this battle, and I don't want to fight it either. It would be good for both you and me to cease the war."
"So I don't understand why I should pay anything extra."
"Yes, Yan Huanwen is in my hands, but I captured him based on my ability."
"It is true that many of you died that night in Xianchi, but you and I did not decide to negotiate peace at that time, so we are still enemies."
"Since we are the enemy, isn't it normal to kill the enemy at any cost on the battlefield?"
"What? Could it be that you still want me to send 100,000 people to kill you to offset this?"
"If His Highness really thinks so, then there is no need for us to talk..."
Raising his head with a smile, Wei Changtian threw the tea cup forward.
"Ding Dong! Click!"
With a crisp sound, the delicate porcelain cup shattered and the tea in the cup scattered.
"bass!"
The momentum of the second-level realm exploded, and Xu Heng stood up instantly, staring at Wei Changtian with murderous intent.
Yan Huaiqing's eyes widened suddenly. He obviously didn't expect that Wei Changtian would turn his face faster than he could turn over the book. He turned the table over in just a few words.
Among the three, only Tang Chen was relatively calm. He was stunned for a moment, and then secretly ordered Tapir Leopard to open his eyes and look towards Wei Changtian...
It was obvious that Tang Chen wanted to see if Wei Changtian was bluffing.
Although the latter knew what he was going to do, he still did not summon the divine beast of luck. He just glanced at the three of them coldly, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Huaiqing's face.
"Your Highness, let me say it one last time."
"Withdrawal of troops without any additional conditions."
"If you don't agree, then no matter how many arrangements and layouts you make in this Zishan Palace, I guarantee that the three of you will never step out of this palace again."
"I never follow any rules when it comes to my behavior."
"In my opinion, if peace talks cannot be reached, you and I will still be enemies, and since we are enemies, I will naturally kill him as soon as possible."
"Oh, by the way, my patience is also very limited."
"So I hope Your Highness can make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to regret it later after turning into a dead soul."
"..."
After saying the last sentence, Wei Changtian shook his sleeves, leaned back on the chair and stopped talking.
At this time, not only Yan Huaiqing and Xu Heng on the opposite side, but also Chu Xianping were stunned.
Before coming to Zishan Palace, they had made many plans for the peace talks, but Wei Changtian's words and deeds at this time were undoubtedly not in any of the plans.
He wasn't doubting Wei Changtian's ability to kill all three people on the spot, but he just didn't understand the significance of such a threat.
Even if Yan Huaiqing agrees now, he can go back on his word if he turns around. After all, this kind of agreement reached under the threat of life and death has no binding force at all.
And if Yan Huaiqing refuses...does he really have to kill him?
No matter which of the above two situations occurs, a war will be inevitable and will run counter to the original intention of ending the war.
Therefore, although Chu Xianping remained calm on the surface, he was inevitably a little confused in his heart.
On the contrary, Li Zimu seemed to have understood Wei Changtian's intention, and his eyes quickly returned to normal.
She looked at the fragments of the tea cup scattered on the ground, then picked up her own tea cup and walked to Wei Changtian's side.
"Sir, my cup of tea has not been used."
"..."
Looking up at Li Zimu with his eyes lowered, Wei Changtian was a little surprised, but he said casually:
"Well, let's put it down."
"yes."
Li Zimu lowered his head and responded, slowly placing the tea cup next to Wei Changtian's hand, then walked back to his chair and sat down.
Chu Xianping was once again stunned by what they were doing. However, Yan Huaiqing and Xu Heng on the opposite side had long since stopped paying attention and were looking at Tang Chen with livid faces.
In the almost solid air, Tang Chen quickly turned his head and looked back.
He paused for a moment with a solemn expression, then nodded slightly.
...
...
The meaning of Tang Chen's nod this time is not simple.
It not only means that Wei Changtian is really murderous, but also means that at least from Wei Changtian's perspective, it is not difficult for him to kill three people by himself.
"..."
The Adam's apple squirmed slightly, and Yan Huaiqing had no doubt that if he said the word "no", Wei Changtian would kill someone in the next second.
After all, this is the answer given by Tang Chen.
As for whether Wei Changtian used any deception...
Actually there is none.
Because what Wei Changtian just said was true.
As long as Yan Huaiqing refused to withdraw his troops, he would kill the former immediately without any hesitation.
At first glance, such behavior does not seem to be in line with his purpose of "ending the war."
But all this was within Wei Changtian's plan.
He actually took advantage of a loophole in Tang Chen's mind-reading ability.
In what he just said, he added a precondition of "not agreeing to withdraw troops" to "killing Yan Huaiqing".
"I'm going to kill you" and "If anything, then I'm going to kill you" are two completely different meanings.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Changcai turned lies into truth, and then used Tang Chen's mind-reading skills to greatly frighten Yan Huaiqing.
And next, he will continue to expand this deterrent effect.
"Your Highness, haven't you decided yet?"
The second before Yan Huaiqing was about to speak softly, Wei Changtian suddenly raised his head and blocked the former's words just in time.
He looked at Yan Huaiqing, who had a somewhat stiff expression, and said with a smile:
"In that case, I might as well tell you something you don't know."
"Your Highness, what you are doing now has actually been seen by your father for a long time."
"Before coming here, I had already reached a deal with him."
"Kill you and let him go back to Dajue to regain control of the court."
"In return, he will withdraw all Dajue soldiers."
"Your Highness, you see, if I want to stop the war, I don't necessarily have to cooperate with you."
"As for why I haven't killed you yet, and even talked to you so much...the reason is just to see who of you, father and son, offers a higher price."
"And now it seems..."
Under Yan Huaiqing's shocked eyes, Wei Changtian shook his head and said with a disappointed look on his face:
