There is no doubt that Li Zimu's concerns are not unreasonable.
The information about the thirteen Sons of Heaven has been leaked, so in the future these thirteen people, or the ten living people plus Wei Changtian, are destined to fall into an unprecedented "battle royale".
However, due to Wei Changtian's evil reputation, even if it is not known to everyone in the world, at least it can be said to be "a household name" in the nearby countries. It is expected that not many people will dare to seek death.
Therefore, the other ten people scattered everywhere are undoubtedly better targets.
Then you can imagine how dangerous Tang Chen's situation is...
"I know you are worried about his safety."
After looking at Li Zimu, Wei Changtian shook his head regretfully.
"It's just that he's far away in Dajue, so we really can't do much to help him."
"But he is not an ordinary person, and his methods are not ordinary, so..."
"Oh, I hope I can survive..."
Wei Changtian was not Li Zimu, so of course he would not care too much about Tang Chen, so after saying a few words, he changed the topic back to his group of people.
"Let's not talk about him anymore, let's continue talking about how we should deal with the next situation."
"Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
"..."
Carriages passed quickly on the empty official road, and the raised road dust filled the air and slowly fell.
From noon to near dusk, a full two hours later, the carriage stopped at an already deserted inn, and everyone on the carriage got off to rest.
Due to their rapid march just a while ago, Wei Changtian and others had caught up with the rebel army. At this time, the outside of the inn was densely packed with black-armored soldiers marching with their heads down. The tips of the numerous spears reflected a bit of cold light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
In the past two hours, after everyone's discussion, Wei Changtian roughly determined the principles for dealing with this "chaotic world".
In fact, there are not many roads before him, or all the sons of heaven, there are basically only two.
Or hide and live an ignoble existence.
Either they stick together for warmth, or they seek refuge with a large force that they can trust.
For people like Tang Chen, the former is undoubtedly a better choice.
After all, considering their status as sons of heaven, there is a high probability that they will not be able to find anyone worthy of trust.
But for Wei Changtian, he could not hide or hide.
Therefore, all he can do is to "remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations" and be firm and tough.
He even has to tell all those who try to kill him and seize his luck in some way——
If you dare to come, you will die.
To put it bluntly, Wei Changtian not only did not hide it, but also took this opportunity to completely "make a name for himself".
The reason for this choice was on the one hand due to helplessness, and on the other hand it was actually Wei Changtian's own wish.
Because he always felt that the real purpose of the man behind the scenes was to make himself a "target of public criticism".
Since nothing can be changed, I might as well become this "target".
And when no one dares to shoot at this "target", the person who dares to draw the bow is undoubtedly his ultimate enemy.
...
...
"Sir, a letter from Weiyang Palace."
Two quarters of an hour later, the front hall of the inn.
Hot water was boiling in the empty house, and the postmen who originally lived here had probably fled to nowhere to seek refuge from the army, so Li Zimu and Yang Liushi had to do the boiling of water and tea themselves.
Wei Changtian was sitting at a wooden table, with Xu Quan and Xu Suisui beside him.
The three of them were talking, but Zhang San suddenly ran in from outside the house, causing their communication to temporarily stop.
"Um."
Nodding with a calm expression, Wei Changtian took the envelope, opened it and glanced at it casually before throwing it on the table.
The letter was from Ning Yuke, and the content was nothing more than asking whether the story about the Son of Heaven was true and what to do next.
Wei Changtian has received several similar secret letters, from Wei Xianzhi, Liang Zhen, Ning Wenjun and others.
It seemed that everyone had received the news and contacted him immediately.
Wei Changtian was not surprised at all by this, and did not explain much. Most of them admitted that the story of the Son of Heaven was true, and others only said that he had made arrangements.
In addition to these, as if to prove how quickly the situation was developing, he and Xu Suisui received news from Jiuzhen Sect and Fengyuan respectively a quarter of an hour ago.
The message from the Jiuzhen Sect was sent back by the four upper-third-level masters, saying that there had just been a chaos in the sect, and that several elders had joined forces to attack Huo Tianyang, but the latter had escaped and is now missing.
Fengyuan came from Shen Ran, saying that someone was watching him outside his residence, and he decided to find a place to take shelter for the time being.
There is no doubt that all the above signs indicate that everyone is not as patient as they thought. Many people have already started to take action, fearing that they will miss such a big opportunity if it is too late.
But these people don't even think about how they can kill the Son of Heaven casually.
To take a step back, even if you can kill yourself, how can you protect yourself after taking away the destiny of heaven...
"Okay, just reply like the previous letters."
Waving his hand, Wei Changtian gave an order, and then asked: "Did you find out where the news came from?"
"not yet."
Zhang San put away the secret letter and answered truthfully in a deep voice: "The Tianji Pavilion was the first to reveal the matter in Daning. The Xuanjing Division has sent people to the Tianji Pavilion, but the results have not yet been found out."
"But judging from the current situation, even if we can find information about Tianji Pavilion to come to our aid, there is a high probability that it will not be the original leaker."
"Well, let's investigate first, and let the spies going to White Horse Temple leave early."
"I understand, sir."
"..."
After responding, Zhang San quickly turned around and left.
Wei Changtian chatted with Xu Suisui and Xu Quan for a while, then got up and walked out of the inn.
The setting sun is setting, jackdaws are seen on the old trees, and under the shadow of the flying dragon.
Standing at the door of the inn, looking at the troops passing in front of him, Wei Changtian had no expression on his face.
Since the military is not allowed to communicate with the outside world, these soldiers still don't know what happened.
But sooner or later it will reach their ears.
I don’t know how these people will react when they see me again, whether some of them want to “give it a try”...
well.
Looking up at the sunset, which was already halfway into the sky, Wei Changtian sighed in his heart.
"Ms. sir..."
Suddenly, Yang Liushi's slightly worried voice sounded beside him: "The tea is ready, come in and drink some."
"Um."
Nodding, Wei Changtian smiled at Yang Liushi, turned around and wanted to go back to the house.
But just when he was about to cross the threshold, he looked back and didn't know what he was looking at.
"Ms. sir, what are you looking at?"
"nothing."
Wei Changtian looked away and muttered something to himself.
