The extremely angry roar resounded in the meeting hall, which was also mixed with the sound of breaking porcelain.
Just when Wei Changtian was wondering what caused those ten assassins to suddenly attack him, Su Qi actually wanted to get the answer.
"Tell me! Why do you do this?!"
"Why do you want to deceive me?!"
With angry eyes, Su Qi stared at the ten people standing in the hall, and said hoarsely almost every word:
"If Wei Changzhen is really so easy to kill, why would I wait until now?!"
"Do you know what Linchuan City will be like after today?!"
"If you don't know, I will tell you!"
"Rivers of blood flow! Tragedy fills the land!!"
"This is a good thing for you to do!"
"This is a good thing you have done!!!"
"..."
There is no doubt that, as Wei Changtian and Li Zimu guessed, these ten assassins not only knew Su Qi, but were also most likely the masters Jing Guoqing had summoned from all over Daqian to deal with Wei Changtian.
He yelled at a group of third-level masters as "bastards", which is enough to show how angry Su Qi is now.
However, the masters who were scolded by him were very calm and didn't seem to care much about Su Qi's attitude.
"Humph, Mr. Su, it's not your turn to teach us how to do things!"
With a cold snort, an old man in yellow said coldly: "Before coming to Sichuan, His Majesty only told us to discuss things with you and act according to our own circumstances, but he never said that we would listen to your orders."
"So what we did today shouldn't be considered deception, right?!"
He responded tit-for-tat, and the old man in yellow was obviously very dissatisfied.
When Su Qi heard this, he became even more angry. He took a step forward and asked sternly:
"Okay! Then I want to ask you! Does Your Majesty know what happened today?!"
"I will report it to Your Majesty later."
The old man in yellow sneered and replied: "I don't need to worry about it, sir."
"..."
Report later.
Obviously, the implicit meaning of this sentence is that Jing Guoqing did not know that these ten people were going to assassinate Wei Changtian today.
But why not talk about such a big action?
Even if Su Qi is not qualified, Jing Guoqing must be.
The situation was not so urgent at that time, so why didn't we even have time to send a secret letter?
"Hahaha! Good!"
Su Qi, who sensed something was wrong, couldn't help but laughed angrily and said, "Then tell me why you chose to take action today?"
"If you can't explain why, don't blame me for reporting you all as rebels to the court!"
"Mr. Su, you have the right words to ask..."
Facing another question from Su Qi, the old man in yellow still had a cold expression:
"Can't you see the hundreds of corpses outside the city?"
"I kill a hundred soldiers every day. Do you really think we don't know about this?"
"If we don't get rid of Wei Changtian as soon as possible, will we just watch him kill people every day?"
"Master Su, you always pay attention to the honor and disgrace of your family and country, and show your dignity and integrity."
"Haha, let the thieves slaughter my soldiers, is this your backbone?"
"..."
Not only did he not admit his mistake, he actually mocked Su Qi for being spineless.
These few words made Su Qi instantly angry and trembling all over.
He was angry at both the behavior of these ten people and their stupidity.
"Then did you kill Wei Changtian..."
Slowly close your eyes and open them again after a few breaths.
After a while, Su Qi finally stopped trembling, but looked straight at the old man in yellow and asked word by word:
"Tell me, did you kill him?"
"this......"
What seemed like a nonsensical question made the expression of the old man in yellow change for the first time.
He slightly avoided Su Qi's gaze and snorted coldly, lacking confidence:
"Humph, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have succeeded by now."
"..."
Hearing these words that were obviously meant to "save respect", Su Qi didn't have any extreme reaction this time.
He just took one last deep look at the old man in yellow, glanced around at the other nine people, and then walked out of the meeting hall without saying a word.
Su Qi didn't say another word, but his last look made the expressions of the ten people become complicated.
It was a look that was both compassionate and cold.
And these two emotions represent exactly two possibilities of this matter.
If these ten people were not instructed by a "third party", but simply did what they did today simply because they did not want to see Wei Changtian making trouble, then they are undoubtedly very stupid, so they are pitiful.
But if these ten people were instructed by others...then who are the people behind this?
Su Qi didn't know, but he knew that this person was most likely not helping him.
...
...
Half an hour later, Guanyue Inn.
"Sir, Su Qi is here."
When Zhang San found Wei Changtian in the guest room, the latter had actually seen Su Qi's carriage through the window.
Turning to look at Li Zimu, Wei Changtian smiled and said:
"I didn't expect it to be quite fast. I just don't know what he did in the past half hour."
"I'm afraid I'm asking those assassins."
Li Zimu stood up, answered and then asked in a low voice: "Master, that slave has passed by?"
"Don't worry, let him wait for a while."
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "Remember to find out as much as possible about those assassins."
"Yes, I remember this."
After hearing Wei Changtian say there was no rush, Li Zimu sat down again, lowered his head and quietly thought about his next words.
At the same time, in the front hall of the inn, Su Qi was pacing back and forth anxiously.
In a short time, he had looked at the stairs five times, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.
Obviously, regardless of whether those ten people were really stupid or were instigated by others, the problem must be solved.
It was impossible for Su Qi to watch Wei Changtian "kill everyone" in Linchuan City, so he had no choice but to come here again.
Of course he knew he had to pay a heavy price for this.
But this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that Wei Changtian may not even give himself the opportunity to "make an offer".
well......
Sighing deeply from the bottom of his heart, Su Qi felt that the days were like years, and his palms were already full of sweat.
Thinking rationally, he believed that Wei Changtian would not fall out immediately, otherwise he would not spare his life.
But the sentence "The reason why I don't kill you now is just because I don't want you to die so easily" made Su Qi think that Wei Changtian might want him to see Linchuan City destroyed with his own eyes as revenge...
.
Thinking became more and more difficult, and the feeling of despair in my heart increased little by little as time passed.
I don't know how long it took, but when Su Qi was already a little numb, a voice finally came from the second floor.
"Squeak..."
The small sound of the door opening caused Su Qi to stop instantly and look up suddenly.
But what he saw was not Wei Changtian, but the expressionless Li Zimu.
