Early the next morning, Yang Liushi went to Xu Quan before dawn and told the latter the truth.
There is no doubt that Xu Quan was confused after hearing this.
He never imagined that Wei Changtian had already guessed what he was doing, or that all of this was part of Wei Changtian's plan.
Originally, he was worried about his fate until he had no sleep all night, but now he realized that he was just scaring himself... Xu Quan watched Yang Liushi open the door and leave with dull eyes, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
While he was in a daze, Yang Liushi, who had completed the task, had already returned to the house to wake up Wei Changtian and reported excitedly:
"Ms. sir, wake up quickly!"
"The slave family just went to make things clear to Mr. Xu!"
"Um?"
After leaving Mengdao and rubbing his eyes, Wei Changtian yawned and asked, "How is it? What did he say?"
"What else can he say?"
Yang Liushi covered her mouth and smiled and said: "From the moment he entered the slave's house to the time he left, Mr. Xu looked like he was stupid. He just opened his mouth wide and didn't say a word."
"Okay, let him digest it slowly..."
While Wei Changtian was getting dressed, he casually ordered: "Don't forget to ask Zhang San to let him go."
"Don't worry about Zhili for now. If she asks, just say that I was just testing them yesterday."
"Anyway, we can't hide this matter. Xu Quan will tell her the truth sooner or later."
"There's only so much I can do to help him. Whether they can succeed depends on Xu Quan himself."
He got out of bed, walked to the table and took a sip of herbal tea. Wei Changtian gave a few brief explanations and stretched again.
"By the way, let Xu Quan ask what effect the Holy Fruit has."
"If it's really such a great treasure, we won't return the remaining three."
"ah?"
Yang Liushi was smiling at first, but she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
"Ms. sir, you really don't want to pay me back?"
"Do you want to pay it back?"
Wei Changtian did not answer directly, but asked Yang Liushi jokingly: "After all, these holy fruits must be of great benefit to you monster clan. Wouldn't it be better for us to swallow them privately?"
"This... slave family listens to my husband."
Yang Liushi hesitated for a moment, and it could be seen that she was actually quite conflicted.
But in the end she nodded seriously.
"If my husband doesn't intend to pay it back, then I won't pay it back."
"Hahaha, I'm teasing you."
When Wei Changtian saw Yang Liushi's "recognizing his relatives but ignoring his family", he finally couldn't hold back his smile and said, "You still have to pay it back. After the separation, there is a high probability that he will follow Xu Quan. We can't even rob our own family members, right?"
.”
"Ms. sir!"
Realizing that she was being tricked, Yang Liushi's face turned red, and she protested with embarrassment and anger: "You have already made up your mind and you still ask the slave family!"
"Haha, I was just asking casually."
Wei Changtian looked at Yang Liushi, smiled and then shook his head meaningfully:
"Didn't you ask me last night why Zhili fell in love with Xu Quan?"
"You should understand now."
"I......"
Yang Liushi's eyes were stunned and she didn't react immediately.
But after a moment, she seemed to have figured something out, and nodded slowly with a complicated expression.
"Yeah, I got it."
...
...
After breakfast, Wei Changtian went out.
Xu Quan has been released and it is expected that he will see Zhili soon.
He didn't care what the scene was like when the two met and what they would say.
Wei Changtian believed that Xu Quan must understand his "good intentions" and should be able to deal with it.
What's more, this kind of "love between children" is only a small matter after all, and he has more important things to do at the moment.
Su Qi has declared an "uprising" and tentatively plans to send troops to the capital of Daqian tomorrow morning to attack the "foolish king".
Obviously, before the official dispatch of troops, there are still many details such as food and grass that need to be handled properly.
Especially the 200,000 surrendered troops. Although they were temporarily forced to rebel and join the uprising army, everyone knew that they could not really be willing to serve Wei Changtian.
So you have to plan ahead...
In this way, Wei Changtian discussed with Su Qi for another whole day in Linchuan Mansion Office, and then finally agreed on some important matters that followed.
Li Zimu didn't have to worry too much about most things.
The most important thing is how to break through Daqian Capital in the shortest time, or kill Jing Guoqing.
Wei Changtian had already planned this matter, and had even made arrangements in advance before coming to Sichuan, so he was quite confident at the moment.
However, Su Qi still holds a pessimistic attitude towards all this, so I won’t mention it here for the time being.
In short, after a busy day, the preparations before sending out troops for the uprising have been basically completed, and we are waiting to break camp and march westward early tomorrow morning.
At dusk, Wei Changtian, who came out of the government office, did not return to the inn, but took Yangliu Shi to the "relics" of Yun'an Temple.
A temporary fence has been built around the vast expanse of open loess, and officials are guarding it at all times.
Since Yun'an Temple disappeared out of thin air, the government has sealed the place and no one is allowed to enter.
However, Wei Changtian was definitely not within the restriction of "anyone", so he soon stood in the messy and deserted rocks and sand again, looking around curiously as if he were traveling.
It was too dark the night before, and he was worried that something would happen, so he didn't stay long after breaking the formation, and immediately left with Yang Liushi and Gu Pan'er without having time to take a closer look.
But when he came in again today, Wei Changtian discovered something was wrong.
The source of something amiss is the few black stone pillars standing among the rocks.
These stone pillars are not "illusions", but "entities" that actually stand in the formation, which can be seen after breaking the formation.
At that time, Wei Changtian only thought that these were part of the phantom formation and did not check them carefully.
But now when he tried to break the stone pillars, he discovered that they were not stones, but a kind of black wood.
It's not that it's been dyed, it seems like the wood is originally black.
Other than that, it is no different from ordinary wood. If I have to say it, this black wood has not rotted for three hundred years, which feels a bit strange.
"Why is the wood so weird..."
Wei Changtian took a piece of broken wood and looked at it again and again, muttering something in his mouth.
Yang Liushi on the side thought for a while, and then said softly:
"Ms. sir, this should be ebony."
"ebony?"
"Well, it's also called Shen Yin wood, and it's black."
Yang Liushi nodded: "It seems that these should be all of them, but I don't know why there are these gloomy wooden pillars here."
"Shen Yin Mu..."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Why does the name sound so charming?"
"Goose, goose, it's the right person to penetrate."
Yang Liushi smiled and explained: "My lord, this Chenyin wood is the best material for making a coffin."
"Making a coffin?"
Wei Changtian's eyes froze, and he looked down at the loess on the soles of his feet.
And Yang Liushi's smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by a hint of surprise.
Both of them seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and slowly turned their heads to look at each other.
Chenyin wood, loess, small soil slopes, the people of Linchuan who were deceived by the phantom array to burn incense and worship here...
