When Su Qi walked out of the inn, he was still repeating this sentence in his mind.
There is no doubt that this sentence explains Wei Changtian's motivation very well.
The latter didn't care about the gains and losses, and destroyed Daqian just for revenge.
And if that's the case...
Shaking his head, Su Qi looked helpless.
He knew that there was a high probability that peace talks would be impossible, and that the two sides would one day fight to the death with real swords and guns.
Su Qi undoubtedly did not want to see this scene.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself or Daqian.
It’s just that Su Qi believes that once it reaches that point, it will be the common people who will suffer in the end.
Yes.
The words he just said to Li Zimu were not words meant to promote peace.
Su Qizhen can be regarded as a good official who "cares about the people", and his logic of action, borrowing from the words of his previous life, is "everything is for the people."
However, Li Zimu’s rebuttal just now is also correct.
Your people in Daqian are human beings, but my people in Daning and Shu are not human beings?
Why should our people suffer from war, be displaced, and have their families destroyed?
When you start a war, you don't think about the harm your actions will cause to the enemy's people. When you lose and are retaliated, you put on a noble face.
Where in the world can such a good thing exist?
Obviously, from this perspective, Su Qi's "benevolence" actually has limitations.
In other words, for most people, the attitude towards "outsiders" and "one's own people" has never been the same.
Such "double standards" are quite normal, not to mention shameless.
And Su Qi himself also understands this truth.
But he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and there was a vague embarrassment that a hypocrite would feel after being exposed.
"well......"
Looking back at a certain closed wooden window, Su Qi sighed softly, turned around and walked to the carriage parked outside the inn door.
The manes of several horses swayed slightly in the morning breeze, and the attendant lowered his head to open the curtain for him.
Then, just when Su Qi was about to get in the car, everyone's eyes suddenly changed, and they all turned their heads to look north of the city.
"Crash!"
The leaves swayed, and a flock of birds flew into the air, fleeing in panic amid the distant and dull noise.
"boom......"
...
...
"boom!!!"
In the north of the city, Manxiang Tower.
When the river water rolled and splashed, and several small boats on the river exploded into countless pieces of wood in the water, several figures were shooting towards a room facing the river from all directions.
Facing such a group of menacing assassins, Wei Changtian's expression did not change much as he stood by the window with his sword raised.
I quickly felt the exposed auras around me, and found that there were about four second-grade ones and six third-grade ones.
It will be difficult to deal with, but your life will definitely be safe.
"It's kind of interesting..."
After muttering something under his breath, Wei Changtian was actually a little curious at the moment.
He was not curious about where these masters came from.
After all, for a large dynasty like Daqian, even if it suffered heavy losses on the Xinfeng battlefield, it would undoubtedly be very simple to gather only ten upper-level third-level masters.
Moreover, these people have come to Linchuan a long time ago to deal with themselves, which is normal.
The only thing is why did they choose to take action today?
Judging from Su Qi's previous performance, he should not be ready to break up with him yet.
Could it be that the hundred corpses this morning irritated him?
Or did he realize that Yang Liushi and Xu Quan were gone, and wanted to take advantage of his isolation and helplessness to make a preemptive strike?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter...
Curling his lips, Wei Changtian didn't think much at this juncture.
And right in the middle of the flash of lightning, a red sword light with a fierce momentum shot towards the window.
"Tsk!"
The sword light tore through the air and made a sharp whistling sound. The power that seemed to be able to chop everything proved that the person who made the move was probably at least in the middle stage of the second level.
If someone else had to deal with such a move, no one would dare to take it lightly at this moment.
But Wei Changtian only turned slightly to one side and dodged narrowly.
"boom!!"
The wooden window exploded to pieces, and the strong wind brought by the sword's light mixed with the broken wood passed by him.
This hiding may seem very dangerous to outsiders, but in the eyes of insiders it is actually quite easy.
Even the assassin who made the move outside Manxiang Tower was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Wei Changtian could avoid the move that he had been planning for a long time so easily.
After all, this side step has nothing to do with "hard power", but is entirely a matter of combat skills.
"hiss......"
Taking a breath of cold air, the assassin's eyes instantly became more serious, mixed with a bit of surprise. He probably didn't understand how Wei Changtian could develop such fighting skills at such a young age.
And if he knew that this was almost an instinctive reaction for Wei Changtian... maybe the shock at this moment would be even greater.
This can't be blamed on his lack of knowledge, it can only be blamed on someone being too open-minded.
After all, "Meng Dao", a golden finger with "the same style as the main character" is no joke...
"ah!"
On the other side, just as the assassins were getting nervous because of Wei Changtian's action, a panicked scream suddenly sounded in the house that was penetrated by the sword light from east to west.
Obviously, this was definitely not what Wei Changtian called.
But the brothel girl named Pan'er.
I have to say that the latter has good luck.
Although she didn't have Wei Changtian's reaction speed, the sword light passed by not far in front of her.
Of course, she was just an ordinary person after all, so even so, she was still lifted several feet away by the invisible "power", and she subconsciously shouted out of pain.
But compared to returning to the west on the spot, this result is already considered good.
"I forgot about you..."
Looking back at the woman, Wei Changtian casually threw over a bottle of elixir: "I have caused trouble for you today, so I will ensure that nothing happens to you."
"One pill of this pill is enough. Find a place to hide."
"..."
Facing the assassin who had already rushed nearby, Wei Changtian naturally had no time to chat with the woman in yellow, so he quickly said a few words and jumped out of the window.
At the same time, a long sword finally flew out of the star scabbard, and the momentum of the second-level sky began to rise crazily.
"boom!!"
The next moment, with a loud noise, Wei Changtian was already fighting with the ten people on the opposite side. For a moment, bright lights of various colors intersected, and waves of air rolled violently.
The area around Manxiang Tower was instantly chaotic, and the streets were filled with people running for their lives in panic.
No one dared to watch the excitement at this time. At this time, everyone wished they could have two more legs, and they didn’t even have the courage to look up.
However, the woman in yellow who collapsed on the ground did not escape.
She just stared blankly, looking at the fierce battle outside through the already tattered wall. After a long while, she trembled and murmured:
