Like the autumn leaves all over the sky, countless yellow flags just floated in the sky, getting lower and lower as the sun set.
At the same time, the vast black "rebellion flag" was raised on the top of the city, adding a bit of winter-like murderous intent to the entire Linchuan City.
Looking at these black flags, the defenders on the city wall did not understand that they had been "forced to rebel."
The eyes may be blank or nervous, and everyone knows that this is a serious crime that will cause his head to fall off, but no matter whether he wants to or not, no one dares to say anything at this time.
Because everyone knows that if you say "no" at this time, your head will move in the next second.
In this way, with just a stick of incense, Su Qi officially announced the news that he was going to rebel.
As for the reaction of the people in the city, the government and the public, and Jing Guoqing himself, it is still unknown.
But presumably the latter should have anticipated this.
After all, ever since Jing Guoqing decided not to reinforce Linchuan, he already knew that there were only two paths in front of Su Qi.
Or fight with Wei Changtian.
Or surrender.
Even Jing Guoqing had long expected that Su Qi would choose the latter.
Therefore, when he heard the news, he should not be too surprised.
After all, Wei Changtian had already prepared the motive, strength, and even the military flag for rebellion, so how could Su Qi have any choice...
"Master Su, now we are in the same boat."
Standing in a tall tower in the city, Wei Changtian looked at the dense black flags on the city wall, smiled and said to Su Qi:
"You shouldn't regret it."
"..."
Lowering his head, Su Qi's eyes looked particularly lonely.
He did not answer the question, but said softly:
"Master Wei, I will do whatever you say."
"Master Su, don't you think I just want to borrow your name?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "If this is really the case, then you should simplify the problem."
"Um?"
Su Qi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wei Changtian with a confused look.
He has always believed that Wei Changtian just wanted to use his reputation in Daqian to destroy the Jing family.
After all, rebellion requires more than just soldiers. Only having a figure like himself as the apparent "leader" can minimize the resistance of the people.
And the role of this "leader" is limited to this.
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Many dynasties have been overthrown, and behind the uprising forces are mostly such hidden forces.
Including when Wei Changtian overthrew the Great Hui Dynasty before, he also found Gongsun Yan to be this figure. Everyone knows who the real emperor of the so-called "Great Chu" is today.
But now, Wei Changtian actually said that what he wanted to do was not like this...
"Young Master Wei, please forgive me for being stupid and unable to guess the master's plan."
"If you can't guess, then you can't guess. You will understand later."
After glancing at Su Qi who looked confused, Wei Changtian did not explain, but asked another question.
"Master Su, do you think we can succeed?"
"Master, do you want to hear the truth?"
"nature."
"That just can't be done."
Shaking his head slightly, Su Qi said in a very complicated tone: "Master Wei, although Daqian's vitality was severely damaged in the previous battle, it was not as damaged as Dahui's foundation."
"Nowadays, even if there are not millions of troops available in the country, there are still hundreds of thousands of them."
"Furthermore, since Jing Guoqing has given up on Linchuan, he has made up his mind to defend the capital."
"But the young master did not come with a large army. Even if the Tengu army is brave and good at fighting, they may not be able to break the city in a short time."
"And Daqian is too far away from the Three Kingdoms of Shu, Daning, and Xinfeng. If the war reaches a stalemate, it will only become more disadvantageous for the young master, and it will eventually end in failure..."
Without taking any side, Su Qi analyzed the current situation in a leisurely manner.
In the final analysis, the reason why he felt that Wei Changtian could not beat Jing Guoqing was mainly based on the following reasons.
First, the national strength of Daqian is not comparable to that of Dahui.
Second, this is Daqian, and Jing Guoqing has the home field advantage.
Third, Wei Changtian did not bring enough people.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this analysis, and what Su Qi said is also true.
However, Wei Changtian just smiled after hearing this and did not express any opinions.
In the distance, the dark beast tide stopped five or six miles away from Linchuan City, and the Tengu Army company camp almost far away on the other side was crowded in the plains outside the city from the east to the north.
And at some point, densely packed black flags were erected in the Tengu Army's barracks, including the barracks where 200,000 Dakan soldiers surrendered.
"Master Su, I think not only can I win, but I can also win very quickly."
Looking up at this extremely oppressive scene, Wei Changtian finally said slowly:
"Before the Beginning of Autumn, this Daqian should no longer have the surname Jing before the Beginning of Autumn."
"..."
Before the beginning of autumn.
It is midsummer now, and there is still one and a half months until the beginning of autumn.
Su Qi didn't know where Wei Changtian's confidence came from, but of course he wouldn't refute anything, so he also raised his head and looked into the distance.
Thousands of miles of battalions are ringing with drums and horns, and the flags of the sun are setting over the city.
Looking at the black flag swaying fiercely in the sunset and the word "Su" embroidered on the flag, he didn't know how he felt now.
Even if it was only in name, Su Qi had never controlled such a huge force.
Therefore, at this moment, there was a surge of excitement in his heart that seemed to not exist.
...
...
"My husband is back."
Half an hour later, after bidding farewell to Su Qi, who was now the "leader of the rebel army", Wei Changtian returned to Guanyue Inn.
Yang Liushi was talking to Gu Pan'er in the house. When she saw him come in, she stood up with a smile and said:
"Just now I took my sister Pan'er to have a look at the city wall, and I scared her so much."
"..."
Being exposed by Yangliu Shi, Gu Paner lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered respectfully:
"Sister Liu Shi! It's just because I have never seen such a scene..."
"Goose, goose, don't you look very bluffing?"
"Yes, it's a little bit, but if I look at it again, I won't be afraid anymore..."
The two girls were talking to each other, and Wei Changtian didn't interrupt. He just took off his robe and hung it up, and then asked Yang Liushi:
"Has Xu Quan returned to the city?"
"No, he's still outside the city now."
Yang Liushi stopped joking with Gu Pan'er and immediately replied softly: "Do you want him to come back? There is also the demon king. The young master must meet him."
"I just want to meet you."
Wei Changtian nodded, thought for a moment and said:
"But forget it today, you have to do something with me later."
"Tell Xu Quan and let him take the demon king into the city tomorrow morning."
"good."
Yang Liushi didn't ask what she was going to do tonight, she just answered and went to send a message to Xu Quan.
Wei Changtian then turned his attention to Gu Pan'er and said with a smile:
"Go back to the house and clean up, and you will come with me tonight."
