That night, Yang Liushi and Xu Quan quietly left Linchuan City and headed for Changliu Mountain, five hundred miles away, under the cover of darkness.
Wei Changtian was not worried that they would not be able to meet the Demon King of the Fifth Demon Land, nor was he worried that they would not be able to borrow "demon soldiers".
After all, one of the two of them is a second-level fox demon, and the other is a son of heaven blessed by the "demon way", plus his own "evil name"... It is estimated that the demon king of an unknown "breed" will
Subdued.
It's just that Changliu Mountain is not close to Linchuan City, so it would take Yang Liushi and the two of them three or four days to go back and forth.
So what should you do during this time?
"Ah......"
Looking at the night outside the window, Wei Changtian yawned out of boredom and casually asked Zhang San behind him.
"Is there no news from Chu Xianping?"
"No."
Zhang San immediately replied in a low voice: "We have sent people to check, but no trace of him has been found."
"Hmm...then where is Dahui?"
Wei Changtian asked again: "Is there anything unusual?"
"nor."
Zhang San replied again: "Everything is business as usual."
"Fine......"
Withdrawing his gaze, Wei Changtian stopped looking at the dark figures hiding in the corner across the street, smiled and stretched.
"sleep!"
"..."
...
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, outside the east gate of Linchuan.
Before dawn, a group of Tengu soldiers in black armor left the military camp and headed straight for Linchuan City without any concealment.
There were not many of them, probably no more than a hundred people, but the ferocious monsters under their crotches made the defenders on the city wall very nervous for a while.
Fortunately, these people did not do anything "dangerous". They just threw exactly one hundred sacks under the city gate, and then turned around and went back home in full view of everyone.
"What's this......"
Looking at the sacks scattered outside the city wall, another soldier at the top of the city asked his colleagues around him doubtfully: "Why does it look like there is something heavy in the bag?"
"Who knows."
Another soldier beside him muttered and tried in a low voice: "Why don't you go down and take a look?"
"Forget it. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I'm sure it's Wei Yanluo's conspiracy."
"That's right...wait! Look there! Is it blood?"
"hiss......"
In this way, in less than a quarter of an hour, the news that "the Tengu Army dumped a hundred dead people outside the city" reached the ears of Su Qi, who had not slept all night.
Although the latter had been mentally prepared, his mood at the moment was still filled with anger and sadness.
What makes him angry is that Wei Changtian actually dares to kill people.
The sad thing is that there is nothing I can do about it.
The sun had not yet risen. Standing in the courtyard of his mansion, Su Qi did not speak for a long time.
He knew that this situation would continue. Every morning, a hundred sacks would be thrown outside the city, all of which were Daqian soldiers.
Unless Wei Changtian can see Jing Guoqing, or...
"Someone is coming!"
Shaking his sleeves, Su Qi suddenly shouted.
Immediately someone appeared from the darkness, came close and bowed and asked:
"What are your orders, sir?"
"Go and collect the corpses of these hundreds of people, but you must not let any news leak out!"
Su Qi ordered word by word: "Tell the people in the city's army who know about this matter that anyone who dares to say even a word will be treated as a traitor!"
"Yes! I'll do it now, little man!"
"etc!"
Stopping the attendant who was about to turn around and leave, Su Qi's tone paused.
He hesitated for a long time as if he was making up his mind, and then finally said slowly when a trace of fish belly white lighted up on the horizon:
"Send a message to ask when the people from the capital will arrive."
"Also, let's find an opportunity today to quietly send my wife and children out of the city."
"..."
...
"Porridge! Pancakes! They're delicious and not expensive!"
By sending his wife and children out, Su Qi undoubtedly meant that he would make some big move against Wei Changtian.
The latter currently has no knowledge of this and is having breakfast with Zhang San in a small shop on the streets of Linchuan.
"Sir, the Tengu army has thrown the corpses of a hundred thieves outside the city this morning."
While eating the steaming pancakes, Zhang San whispered to Wei Changtian: "The city guards didn't respond. I guess Su Qi didn't tell them about this matter yesterday."
"Um."
After taking a sip of porridge, he tore off a piece of cooking cake and threw it into his mouth. Wei Changtian nodded casually, seemingly paying less attention to this matter than the cooking cake in his hand.
Needless to say, since the Seven Kingdoms War began, he has not eaten the cooking cakes made by Li Suyue for a long time.
And whether what others make is made by a restaurant chef or a small street shop like this, it is a bit inferior to what Li Suyue makes.
"Son..."
Opposite me, Zhang San saw Wei Changtian frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, I'm thinking about Li Suyue." Wei Changtian answered truthfully.
"Uh...Su, Suyue, she..."
Zhang San shook his fingers, his expression instantly became weird, he hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Only then did Wei Changtian realize that the person sitting opposite him was Li Suyue's husband, and he quickly explained with a smile:
"What are you thinking about? I just remembered the cakes she made."
"oh......"
Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief, and then echoed: "Yes, I remember that the young master loves cooking cakes made by Su Yue the most."
"Yeah, now that I think about it, I haven't eaten for a long time."
Wei Changtian sighed with emotion and suddenly asked with a smile: "Zhang San, you have been following me for so long and have never been able to reunite with your wife and children. Do you feel any complaint in your heart?"
"Master, what are you talking about!"
Zhang San almost jumped up when he heard this, and shouted with great excitement: "If it weren't for the young master, I would have died in the prison of Dali Temple long ago! There is no need to talk about marrying a wife and having children!"
"Not to mention it's only been a few months, but even if I can't go back to Shuzhou City in this life... I won't complain to you."
His excited voice suddenly became inaudible, and his expression became a little embarrassed.
Zhang San lowered his head in embarrassment, while Wei Changtian raised his head and laughed:
"Hahahaha, you are so honest!"
"Don't worry, it won't be long before we can go back!"
"But having said that, I still have Liu Shi with me, but in the past few months, you have been...do you understand what I mean?"
"Ahem! The villain knows..."
Mr. Zhang San's face turned red, he coughed dryly and replied in a low voice: "Young Master, you villain... I can't bear it."
"What is this nonsense!"
Wei Changtian glared and threw half of the cooking cake back into the bowl: "Why should you tolerate such a thing?!"
"It was my fault before, I never thought of this."
"But since it happened to be mentioned today and there is nothing to do, I naturally have to join you..."
"Sir, I just need to go by myself."
After taking a furtive glance at Wei Changtian, Zhang San suddenly interrupted in a low voice: "Otherwise, if Madam finds out, I'm afraid..."
"Am I afraid of her?"
Wei Changtian suddenly stood up.
"Go! Go now!"
...
ps: I have a slight cold, so I will be here tomorrow.
