Not long after Zhang San finished shouting, just as Wei Changtian expected, the thick city of Linchuan City finally slowly opened with a loud noise.
Looking at the man standing behind the city gate, Xu Quan immediately whispered to Wei Changtian:
"Sir, that is Su Qi."
"..."
Looking up through the car curtain, Wei Changtian immediately saw this Dagan Qingliu who was said to hate evil as much as he hated his enemies.
He is not tall, about fifty years old. His official uniform is spotless and he stands tall and straight.
Well, it does look quite upright.
"Let's go into the city."
Glancing at Su Qi who was standing behind the city gate as if waiting for him, Wei Changtian calmly lowered the car curtain and gave a casual order.
After hearing this, Zhang San immediately returned to the carriage and drove towards the city.
"Gululu..."
The sound of wheels was particularly clear in the surrounding silence. The black carriage drove past the city gate slowly and slowly, getting closer and closer to Su Qi under the "eyes of all the people".
However, the carriage that everyone thought would stop did not slow down. It actually still maintained its original speed and turned slightly, passing by Su Qi.
Um?
The soldiers on the city wall were all stunned when they saw this scene. They didn't expect Wei Changtian to ignore Su Qi so much.
Su Qi's face instantly became very ugly, and he immediately turned around and shouted:
"etc!"
"...Xu!"
Zhang San's "Oh" sounded a little slowly. Although the carriage stopped, it was already about ten feet away from Su Qi.
Looking at the motionless carriage, Su Qi gritted his teeth and finally took a step forward and walked over slowly.
"My official name is Su Qi, the governor of Linchuan!"
"Is this Mr. Wei Changtian in the car?"
Standing on the side of the carriage, Su Qi stared at the curtain and said word by word:
"Master Wei, I wonder if you would like to get out of the car and talk to me?"
"..."
The breeze blew through the corners of the clothes, and the purple official uniforms swayed slightly.
Su Qi stood alone beside the carriage without moving, as if he was not afraid that the person in the carriage was the "Living Yama" who was frightened by countless people.
If nothing else, this at least shows that he is indeed a very courageous person.
However, Wei Changtian's attitude towards such a "hero" was very disdainful.
"Get out of the car and talk?"
"Master Su, am I familiar with you?"
Some sarcastic voices came from the sedan, but the curtain was never opened.
Facing Wei Changtian's ridicule, Su Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he still replied in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing:
"Master Wei, you and I have never met, so how can we be familiar with each other?"
"But since you have come to return my large number of soldiers, and I have accepted these 200,000 people under His Majesty's order, I would like to talk to the Young Master. This should be right!"
"Return? Receive?"
The smile in Wei Changtian's voice became even greater: "Master Su, you are mistaken."
"I'm not that kind. I'm not here to return surrendered soldiers."
"As for anything else...you are not worthy of talking to me, so you should go find Jing Guoqing."
"Zhang San, let's go."
After saying the last words, there was no more movement in the sedan, and the carriage drove slowly towards Linchuan City again.
Seeing the carriage going further and further away, Su Qi didn't say anything to stop it. He just stood motionless, with no sadness or joy on his expression, and no anger after being humiliated.
"grown ups......"
Not long after, an attendant quickly ran to his side and asked cautiously: "Now we..."
"Keep an eye on him and see where he lives and who he meets."
Still looking at the direction the carriage was leaving, Su Qi said slowly:
"Also, send a message to His Majesty, saying that everything is under control here!"
"..."
...
Two quarters of an hour later, there was an inn located in the west of Linchuan City.
"Ms. sir, since you don't plan to talk to Su Qi, why do we go to the city?"
In the guest room, Yang Liushi asked with a puzzled look: "Wouldn't it be safer to just wait for Jing Guoqing to arrive in the military camp?"
Regarding the "first confrontation" that just ended, Yang Liushi was obviously quite confused about Wei Changtian's actions.
First of all, as Wei Changtian said, they will definitely not hand over the 200,000 surrendered troops easily this time, but will use it as a bargaining chip to do something.
In this case, these 200,000 people can no longer move forward and can only reach Linchuan at most.
Therefore, Yang Liushi originally thought that Wei Changtian was going to the city to chat with Su Qi first to see if he could get some information in advance.
Unexpectedly, Wei Changtian had no intention of talking about it.
Then why go to the city?
Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the military camp and wait for Jing Guoqing to arrive?
"Who said I'm not going to talk to Su Qi?"
Facing Yang Liushi's question, Wei Changtian smiled and said meaningfully: "It's just that we don't want to talk now."
"When was that?"
Yang Liushi was even more puzzled: "There are no people of ours in Linchuan Mansion, what do you want to do?"
"You will know this soon."
Wei Changtian gave up and stood up and said: "Let me ask you first, do you think Jing Guoqing will come to Sichuan if I ask him?"
"this......"
Yang Liushi thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Probably not."
"He will definitely be afraid that his husband will kill him, so he may not dare to show his face."
"It's not maybe, but I definitely don't dare."
Wei Changtian glanced out the window and said in a very determined tone: "There are not many people in the world who don't know my methods now, not to mention the lessons learned from Yan Huanwen and Lu Hongji. How could he dare to meet me."
"So, I have to find a way to make him show up, or even come to Laichuan in person."
"But how to do this?"
Yang Liushi looked worried: "I'm afraid he won't take this risk no matter what happens."
"Well, forcing him to come will definitely not work."
Wei Changtian nodded: "But you can trick him."
"cheat?"
Yang Liushi blinked: "How to cheat?"
"It depends on Su Qi..."
After talking for a while, it finally came back to Su Qi.
Wei Changtian walked to the window, closed the open wooden window, and said with a smile:
"It can be seen that he is indeed trusted by Jing Guoqing and is indeed an upright person."
"In that case, it's easy to handle..."
"..."
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and there was no sound in the guest room.
In the end, Wei Changtian didn't explain to Yang Liushi what he was going to do.
But while the two of them were talking, Xu Quan had quietly arrived outside the Yamen of the Linchuan Branch of the Demon Slayer Division.
Standing under the familiar plaque, he took a breath and took out the Demon-Slaying Commander's Tablet that he had not used for a long time.
Xu Quan's eyes were filled with emotion as he looked at the token in his hand, which had the words "Demon Demon" and "Exterminate Demon" engraved on the front and back respectively.
But soon this emotion disappeared, and then he was seen saying to the officer who had just pushed the door open:
"Brother, I'm from the capital headquarters."
"Can you, Mr. Wang, be in the Yamen?"
"Please inform him immediately, I have something important to tell him!"
