As soon as he finished his sentence, there was a dead silence in the inn.
There is no doubt that this is no longer a matter of "you're welcome", but a completely naked insult.
For a moment, the already tense atmosphere became even more depressing. All the officials packed into the hall suddenly widened their eyes, all focusing on Su Qi.
At this moment, they were extremely afraid that Su Qi would say something tit-for-tat.
After all, cats and dogs like them would definitely have a dead end against Wei Changtian.
And no one wanted to die, so everyone could only hope that Su Qi could "calm down" a little bit.
Fortunately, the latter was indeed calm and did not do anything drastic because of Wei Changtian's words.
Even after being stunned for a moment, he slowly knelt down in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
"Master Wei, I have only kneeled before my parents, ancestors, and the emperor in my life."
"But today, I am willing to kneel down for the sake of my great soldiers."
"I just want you, Master..."
"Master Su, there is no need to do this with me."
Before Su Qi could finish his "touching" words, Wei Changtian suddenly interrupted: "I'll say it one last time."
"I don't have to kill anyone, or I can return 200,000 surrendered troops to you."
"But the premise is that Jing Guoqing comes to talk to me in person. This is non-negotiable."
"I think you know very well why he didn't dare to come to Lanchuan."
"So instead of doing useless work here, you might as well give some advice to your emperor who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
"If he is not willing to take some risks for you soldiers, why should I be so kind?"
"You're right."
Glancing at Su Qi, who had a complicated expression on his face, Wei Changtian slowly stood up.
"Okay, Mr. Su, if you want to kneel down, then go ahead and kneel down."
"I won't accompany you anymore."
"..."
Putting down his chopsticks and walking past Su Qi without looking back, Wei Changtian walked back to the second floor of the inn.
Su Qi, on the other hand, was still kneeling on the spot. It was not until Wei Changtian's figure completely disappeared that he was carefully helped up by his attendants.
"Let's go."
He shook his head and said nothing more.
Naturally, the officials around him did not dare to say anything, and soon they all left the inn.
There is no doubt that Su Qi's visit to Wei Changtian this morning was fruitless.
Not only was he unable to get the latter to relent, he was even humiliated.
Of course, Su Qi didn't care whether he was humiliated or not, but suddenly felt that the last few words Wei Changtian said seemed to make some sense.
really.
Although a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, if even Jing Guoqing cannot take a risk for the sake of his country's soldiers, how can he expect the enemy to show mercy?
"Sir, what should we do now?"
In the carriage, the attendant whispered to Su Qi, who was frowning: "With Wei Changtian's style, if he doesn't see the emperor, I'm afraid he will really kill someone."
"So? Are you going to stop him?"
Glancing at the attendant, Su Qi asked in a cold tone: "Do you still have any good ideas?"
"This... is a joke, adults."
A little cold sweat broke out on the attendant's forehead: "My dear, I'm just a little unhappy..."
"Huh, what can I do if I'm not angry?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Su Qi was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice:
"Let the people from the Jiuzhen Sect come to see me."
"Sir, sir, you are..."
"Um?"
"Ah! Yes, it's the villain who talks too much. Let's do it right now!"
"...."
...
On the other side, in the inn.
"Ms. sir, what should we do now?"
Just when Su Qi suddenly wanted to meet someone from the Jiuzhen Sect, Yang Liushi looked at Wei Changtian who had just returned and asked boredly:
"We can't just wait for Jing Guoqing, right?"
"Of course not."
Wei Changtian smiled and shook his head: "If we just wait like this, Jing Guoqing will never come after waiting for a lifetime."
"Really?"
Yang Liushi was stunned for a moment: "Is he just watching us kill a hundred people every day?"
"Huh, a hundred people are nothing."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "From the moment these two hundred thousand people surrendered, they have become dispensable in Jing Guoqing's heart."
"If we weren't concerned about public opinion, even if we killed everyone, he wouldn't say a word."
"What about Su Qi?"
Yang Liushi asked again: "Su Qi will never be willing to do this."
"Maybe he won't, but he can't help it."
Wei Changtian glanced at the carriage that had driven away through the window: "So he will definitely find a way."
"Think of a way...what can he do."
Yang Liushi frowned: "Now that the two hundred thousand people are guarded by the Tengu Army, it is no longer possible to resist."
"The garrison of Linchuan Prefecture is no more than 20,000 to 30,000 people, and the nearby state capital has no intention of sending troops for reinforcements."
"What can he do to solve this dilemma?"
"I do not know then."
Wei Changtian shook his head and replied nonchalantly: "No matter what he wants to do, we just have to act according to our own plan."
"My own plan..."
Yang Liushi suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Ms. sir, you haven't told me what you plan to do yet."
"Oh, I forgot about that."
Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead, turned around and walked to the opposite side of Yang Liushi: "It's actually not complicated, but you and Xu Quan need to handle this matter."
"The slave family and Mr. Xu?"
Yang Liushi blinked and immediately understood something: "Ms. sir, could this matter be related to demons?"
"That's right."
Wei Changtian finally stopped showing off and slowly explained:
"There is a large mountain five hundred miles east of Linchuan City, named Changliu... Do you still remember what I told you about the Fourteen Demon Lands before?"
"Fourteen Demon Lands..."
Yang Liushi nodded: "Of course I remember. Xianggong said at that time that there are fourteen places where monsters gather in the world, with Shiwanda Mountain as the ninth and Bailing Mountain as the seventh."
"Well, Changliu Mountain is fifth."
Wei Changtian took the conversation and continued: "And you just want to go to the fifth demon land."
"..."
Changliu Mountain, the fifth demon land.
Wei Changtian first learned about the Fourteen Demon Lands from Xu Suisui.
In addition to Bailing Mountain and Shiwanda Mountain, the latter also told Wei Changtian the general situation of other demon lands.
To be honest, although these demon lands have great reputations, in Wei Changtian's eyes, their strength is basically not very good.
But this doesn't mean that others can cope with it equally easily.
For example, Linchuan City.
If there is a wave of beasts...
"Ms. sir, do you want the Nu family and Mr. Xu to go to Changliu Mountain to borrow demons?"
Yang Liushi's eyes widened slightly, her expression a little surprised.
Wei Changtian smiled softly and corrected:
"It's not borrowing."
"I'm going to inform them about the Demon King, or help me, or die."
