In this way, Wei Changtian settled in Linchuan City.
He did not continue to the capital of Daqian, nor did he return to the military camp. He just stayed in the inn, saying that he wanted to wait for Jing Guoqing to come and talk to him in person.
There is no doubt that Jing Guoqing will definitely not come, just as he and Yang Liushi expected.
At least under the current circumstances, the latter obviously dare not show up.
Since Jing Guoqing didn't show up, he naturally needed another person to talk to Wei Changtian.
As of now, this person is only Su Qi.
...
"Sir, Su Qi is in the front hall of the inn now."
The morning after Wei Changtian moved into Linchuan City, Su Qi came to the door early.
Looking at Zhang San pushing the door open, Wei Changtian asked casually:
"What did he say?"
"He said that Jing Guoqing was ill and could not come to Sichuan for the time being. He specially ordered him to discuss with the young master about surrendering troops."
Zhang San immediately replied: "Su Qi said that he can make the final decision on this matter. I hope the young master can meet him."
"Is it?"
Nodding, Wei Changtian ordered without any hesitation: "Go and tell him that I will only talk to Jing Guoqing about this matter."
"If the latter doesn't come, I will continue to live in Linchuan City."
"But my patience is limited, so starting from tomorrow, I will kill a hundred soldiers every day and send their heads outside the city."
"If he doesn't want too many people to die, then let Jing Guoqing come over as soon as possible."
"Go ahead."
"..."
I only talked to Jing Guoqing. If he doesn't come, I will kill a hundred surrendered soldiers every day until he comes.
Obviously, Wei Changtian's current actions are to force Jing Guoqing to show up, which is far from the "cheating" he said yesterday.
Therefore, this behavior is undoubtedly just a cover-up, and there must be a more hidden plan behind it.
However, Zhang San didn't know this, so he immediately went out to the front hall of the inn and said in an indifferent tone to Su Qi, who had been waiting in the hall:
"Master Su, please come back. Our young master said that he would only discuss this matter with Jing Guoqing."
"Oh, by the way, Young Master just said that it doesn't matter if the emperor of your country doesn't want to show up, but starting from tomorrow, a hundred people will die every day outside the city."
"When the young master sees Jing Guoqing, when will he stop killing him?"
"I wonder if Mr. Su heard it clearly?"
"..."
His eyes suddenly widened. Although Su Qi had expected that Wei Changtian might not see him, he didn't expect that the latter would be so vicious and act like this from the very beginning.
His face turned red instantly, and an attendant beside him immediately shouted at Zhang San:
"How dare you!!"
"This is a big place! Don't be so arrogant!!"
"furious?"
It has to be said that Zhang San has been with Wei Changtian for a long time, and his words and deeds have gradually become a lot crazier.
He glanced coldly at the attendant, his expression unmoved at all.
"Whatever you think, I just brought the master's original words."
"By the way, I would like to remind you that Mr. Wei always keeps his word. If he says he will kill a hundred people every day, then there will be no more and no less."
"Master Su, please come back!"
Turning up the volume slightly, Zhang San said the last sentence and turned around to leave, as if he was too lazy to say another word to Su Qiduo.
But the latter is not an ordinary person.
Su Qiyi didn't say anything to Zhang San, but walked towards the stairs of the inn without saying a word, making it clear that he wanted to confront Wei Changtian directly.
How could Zhang San allow him to force his way in? He immediately pulled out the sword from his waist with a "cang clang" sound, turned around and stopped at the entrance of the stairs.
"Master Su, have you lived enough?"
There was already a bit of gloominess in his tone. Although Zhang San was only in the fifth level, he was not afraid at all when faced with a group of officers with swords who suddenly rushed in from outside the inn.
Su Qi's expression was equally cold as he stared at Zhang San and said word by word:
"Step aside!"
"I must see Wei Changtian today!"
"Hmph! Mr. Su has such a loud tone!"
Zhang San snorted coldly and was about to sarcastically say a few more words.
But at this moment, along with a "squeak" from upstairs, a lazy voice suddenly came over.
"Master Su, why is this necessary?"
"Da da da......"
The sound of neither fast nor slow footsteps suddenly made everyone extremely nervous, and Wei Changtian's figure slowly appeared on the second floor.
He glanced at Su Qi with a smile, then walked down the stairs step by step, saying as he walked:
"I have made my words very clear."
"If Jing Guoqing doesn't come, I will kill someone."
"Instead of wasting time here, Mr. Su, it would be better to send a message quickly to persuade your emperor to leave early."
"If he had come a day earlier, wouldn't it have saved a hundred people from dying..."
There were only a dozen or so stairs, and Wei Changtian walked down from the second floor in just a few words.
"Son."
Zhang San immediately bowed and stepped aside. Although the dozens of officials opposite him knew that he should not retreat at this time, they were still unable to resist the fear in their hearts, and they all involuntarily and slowly backed away.
His eyes were full of timidity, and the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.
If Su Qi hadn't been there, these official officials would have been able to travel as far as they wanted.
Fortunately, Wei Changtian was too lazy to pay attention to them. He just walked straight through the crowd, came to a table in the hall, sat down, and shouted to the innkeeper who was hiding behind the cabinet:
"Shopkeeper, get some food!"
"...Ah! Yes, yes!"
Under such a tense situation, Wei Changtian still wanted to have breakfast.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say no. Hearing this, he immediately rolled and crawled to the back hall. Not long after, a young boy with a pale face came out carrying a wooden tray.
He walked tremblingly to Wei Changtian's side and put down the wooden tray.
The little guy wanted to leave but didn't dare, so he just stood there shivering.
Wei Changtian ignored him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating breakfast under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes.
"..."
Have a few mouthfuls of porridge and a bite of pickles.
The food Wei Changtian had here was quite delicious, but everyone except Zhang San felt extremely uncomfortable at this time.
They didn't dare to make a sound, let alone make any movement, and even breathed with extreme caution.
Only Su Qi was doing better and his expression was relatively calm.
"Master Wei."
Looking at Wei Changtian who was lowering his head to eat, he suddenly took a step forward after an unknown amount of time and said in an extremely serious tone:
"Your Majesty, he is indeed ill. It is not that he did not come to see you on purpose."
"What's more, His Majesty has already said that I can make my own decision regarding the surrender of troops."
"Sir, the previous war... was indeed my fault."
"If you have any conditions, feel free to put them forward and we can discuss them."
"I believe that the young master is not an unreasonable person. I also ask the young master to understand my difficulty."
"I wonder if that's okay?"
"..."
From "you" to "you", the word "surrender" was used for the first time, and he also admitted Daqian's mistakes in the previous "war of aggression".
There is no doubt that compared to the first meeting yesterday, Su Wu's attitude now can be said to be very polite.
But he didn't get the same polite response.
"Master Su..."
Under the extremely nervous gazes of everyone, the chopsticks stretched out in the air paused for a moment.
Wei Changtian did not go to see Su Qi, but said calmly in a tone that made people fall into an ice cave:
