It was already midnight when Wei Changtian returned to Zhuwu.
Tonight's trip could be said to have accomplished the goal but not yet accomplished the goal, so he wasn't too excited.
After walking through the bamboo forest and walking into the small courtyard that was still lit, Yangliu Shi, who had not yet fallen asleep, must have heard the noise and was standing outside the outer room waiting for him.
"Did things go smoothly?"
Smiling, she welcomed Wei Changtian into the room, took the robe that the latter had taken off, and asked softly: "Why do you look so depressed?"
"Hey, don't mention it."
Wei Changtian waved his hands and replied helplessly: "There are good and bad things."
"Is it......"
Yang Liushi nodded, knowing that Wei Changtian was not going to tell him about this matter, so he didn't ask any more, just turned around and picked up a letter from the table.
"Here, the letter I just received was sent from Shuzhou."
"Shuzhou?"
Wei Changtian took the envelope casually and only glanced at the words on it before recognizing that it was written by Lu Jingyao.
I guess it’s because I didn’t go back this time, so I’ll ask about my safety as usual.
"Tsk..."
He curled his lips and tore open the envelope.
As Wei Changtian thought, the letter was indeed written by Lu Jingyao, and the content was nothing more than "take care of yourself" and the like.
But apart from that, the latter also wrote about the current situation of many other people.
Liang Qin's belly can almost tell that she is pregnant. She eats, sleeps and plays mahjong at home every day, and occasionally goes back to the martial arts hall to watch the fighting.
Xu Qingwan's "Ying Fengsheng" no longer had much to do, so she and Wei Yanyu opened a bank together, called "Jubao", which can be said to be very tacky.
Ah Chun has been breaking through to the sixth level for several months, but recently because Wei Qiaoling is always taking him everywhere to play, his cultivation speed has slowed down.
Wei Qiaoling, on the other hand, has completely "released" herself since she lived in Shuzhou. She usually does not practice hard, but is more interested in raising all kinds of strange animals. Recently, she even planned to get a tiger.
And Agou, this little girl doesn’t seem to be able to play with Achun and Wei Qiaoling. She practices very hard every day. She says she wants to go to the White Palace to find her grandpa when she grows up...
It can be seen that the lives of everyone far away in Shuzhou City are very peaceful.
The same goes for the people of Shu and the empress Ning Yuke.
No worries inside and no troubles outside.
Today, Dashu is in a golden period of "peaceful development". Even the newly built Datong City is said to be home to hundreds of thousands of people.
If this development continues, the national power of Shu will not only be able to dominate the world, but it should still be no problem if it wants to become a "regional hegemon".
And all of this is undoubtedly inseparable from the victory of previous battles.
Correspondingly, whether it is Daning, Dafeng, or Qian Huijue and the Four Kingdoms, as the defeated party, their situation will be much more difficult.
Some have already lost their countries, and some are about to lose their countries.
Some emperors are dead, and some emperors can only survive for a while.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that except for Jing Guoqing of Daqian and Li Qi who "existed in name only", Ning Yongnian, Yan Huanwen, Lu Hongji... these emperors who once sat on one side are all dead now.
Some of them died in Wei Changtian's hands, and some didn't.
But no matter what, these people cannot be said to have a "good death"...
According to the words of the previous life, "Emperor" seems to be a high-risk profession.
And this also means that "victory" must correspond to "failure".
"Win-win" is not realistic in many cases. If you want peace and development, you can only defeat all competitors.
Although this may cause great harm to the other party's people.
But at the very least, "other people's lives are not good" is better than "one's own life is not good"...
The candlelight flickered slightly and the moonlight was pure white.
Looking at the words on the letter, Wei Changtian thought of some of these inexplicably.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly felt that he should probably kill Chu An immediately.
After all, from the perspective of "plundering the way of heaven", the two of them can also be regarded as "opponents".
yes.
Chu An is indeed not his enemy, and he is even more innocent.
But to put it bluntly, what does this have to do with myself...
"Zhang San!"
At a certain moment, Wei Changtian suddenly put down the letter, turned his head and shouted outside the room under Yang Liushi's surprised gaze.
"Son."
Upon hearing this, Zhang San immediately opened the door and walked into the house, waiting for his order.
There seemed to be some vague murderous intent in the air, and the flames of a few candlelights were erratic.
After a pause, Wei Changtian was ready to speak.
But at this moment, a rapid knock on the door sounded from outside the hospital, mixed with choking sounds of urgency and despair.
"Wei, Mr. Wei!"
"Woooooooo, Mr. Wei!!"
"..."
...
There is no doubt that the person who came was Qin He who had just woken up.
"Miss Qin, what's wrong?"
Looking at the woman in front of him who was still wearing muddy clothes and disheveled hair, Wei Changtian had actually guessed what she was doing, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked:
"Why are you like this?"
"Woo woo woo, Wei, Mr. Wei! Please save Chu An!"
Qin He knelt down in front of Wei Changtian with a "pop", and Qin He's tears kept falling to the ground along his chin like broken beads.
"I, I don't know what to do, so I have to come and beg you..."
"Master, I, I can promise you anything, I just ask you to help me again this time..."
She kept kowtowing as she spoke, and it was obvious that Qin He was in a panic now. She begged for a long time but still didn't say what kind of help she wanted Wei Changtian to do.
In the end, it was the latter who took the initiative to remind:
"Ahem, Miss Qin, don't be impatient."
"What exactly happened? Please tell me in detail first."
"Yes Yes......"
"..."
The chaotic language was intermittent, and not long after, Qin He "told" Wei Changtian what happened tonight.
Of course, because she fainted very early, she only told the beginning and the end, and she didn’t know whether Chu An was dead or alive now.
She just didn't want to let go of any hope, so she ran back to Zhuwu immediately after waking up and asked Wei Changtian to help her find Chu An...
"Well, I understand."
On the other side, after hearing this, Wei Changtian pretended to think for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Miss Qin, why don't you report to the official?"
"Official, the government is currently investigating the assassination of the second prince, and they will definitely not do anything..."
Qin He looked pale and shook his head: "Besides, those masked men seem to be very powerful, so..."
"Okay, you don't need to say any more."
Nodding, Wei Changtian stood up and helped Qin He up from the ground: "I'll help you with this."
"Many, thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Qin He couldn't help but soften when he heard this, and fell into Wei Changtian's arms uncontrollably.
At this time, she didn't care about any etiquette, and actually buried her head in Wei Changtian's chest, thanking him non-stop and crying loudly.
Wei Changtian looked at the letter on the table and sighed softly.
