I'm the villain in the book

Page 818

How did I kill Lu Hongji in the first place?

Undoubtedly, no one would have thought that Wei Changtian would ask such a question.

The storyteller was so frightened that everyone was dumbfounded, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

"Gong, son, spare your life, son, spare your life"

"Little, the villain doesn't dare anymore, beg, beg the young master to bypass the villain."

The storyteller's mind has been blank for a long time, and he still doesn't remember the answers to the questions Wei Changtian asked.

Even if he remembered, he naturally didn't dare to answer at the moment, so he just knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

And Wei Changtian didn't ask any more when he saw this, he just waved his hand lightly.

"Okay, stop knocking, I won't kill you."

"It's fine if you don't want to say it."

"But whether you believe it or not, I did not kill Lu Hongji anyway, so I don't need to talk about this paragraph when I talk about it again."

The voice is calm and the tone is gentle.

Under the fearful and bewildered eyes of the storyteller, Wei Changtian paused for a moment, then smiled and pointed to the Meridian Gate in the distance.

"Anyway, you saw what happened today with your own eyes, so you can just talk about it later."

"It is true that I killed Jing Guoqing, and the entire Jing family. Now there is no one alive."

"So, everyone"

Turning his eyes away from the storyteller and scanning the teahouse, Wei Changtian's voice gradually became serious.

"Your emperor is dead, and the 30 rebels will arrive tonight at the latest. Then why will there be chaos in the city?"

"I have no intention of killing people, so if you don't want to die, go home quickly."

"Maybe you can't accept it for the time being, but you have really done it"

"Dead."

Chapter 957

At dusk, the Tiangou army rushed to Dagan capital as scheduled according to Wei Changtian's order.

Since the news of Jing Guoqing's death has not been fully spread, many soldiers staying at the Sifang City Gate do not know about it, and many people think it is false information, so the Tiangou Army did not enter the city unimpeded, but It was a fierce battle with the defenders.

Immediately afterwards, the four villains lurking near the four city gates also immediately attacked, and the cooperation from inside and outside caused all the gates to be in chaos and danger.

Although there are many defenders in the capital, the number far exceeds that of the Tengu Army.

But because many people rushed to the imperial palace before, and the Tiangou army came too suddenly, the generals were caught off guard, and soon fell into a hard fight to maintain.

Trapped in the shadow of swords and swords, there are overwhelming beasts in front of you, and there are roars from behind from time to time

The Dagan garrison was about to collapse several times, but in the end they all managed to hold on.

As a result, the battle fell into a stalemate for a while, and an unknown number of people died in just a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle.

In fact, in the absence of a unified command and a sneak attack, it was not easy for the Dagan defenders to survive the first few waves of the Tengu Army's offensive.

Facing the menacing Tiangou army, they gritted their teeth and waited for reinforcements, waiting for Jing Guoqing to stand up and stabilize the situation.

Little did they know that the situation in the capital was no better than that on the city wall.

Jing Guoqing had been killed in full view, and all the rest of the Jing family who remained in the palace were also killed by Wei Changtian's sword.

Even if the latter had already left, the imperial court would not be able to elect a person who could direct the overall situation for a while.

After all, the royal family is dead, and most of the remaining court officials have their own little calculations, and the power cannot be centralized at all.

Therefore, there is no one in the huge capital who can convince the crowd at this moment.

Taking a step back, even if there is such a character, whether he dares to stand up or not will be another matter.

After all, Wei Changtian will definitely not allow the various forces in Dagan to form a joint force again, so if anyone dares to stand up, that person must be the one Wei Changtian wants to kill.

No one would not understand such a truth, so no one would dare to show off at this time.

Most of the powerful people in their hands are now hiding, thinking to wait until the situation is clearer before taking the next step.

And since they do nothing, what can ordinary soldiers and civilians do?

"what!!"

"The rebels are coming! Run!!"

"The emperor is dead! The emperor is dead!!!"

"I don't want to die! Who will save me!"

"Mr. Jun, what are you doing?"

"Woooo! Woohoo!"

"Da-da-da! Da-da-da!"

"..."

Crying, shouting, hoofbeats, footsteps, all kinds of noisy and chaotic sounds soon spread to every corner of the city.

Most of the people ran home in panic, while the soldiers either turned back to the city wall to reinforce the battlefield, or ran home to find their relatives, or rushed into the shops on the street or even the palace to take the opportunity to rob, or simply took off their armor. Find a place to hide.

All the loss of control caused by the lack of power and the collapse of the system is vividly reflected at this moment. When a group facing an extreme crisis suddenly loses its unified leadership, its fate may be so vulnerable.

And the chief culprit who caused all this, Wei Changtian, was slowly walking through the chaotic crowd at this moment, with a calm expression, as if he didn't care about everything that happened around him.

He has experienced similar scenes too many times.

He has seen even more exaggerated and tragic ones.

The Yuanzhou City tragedy that killed 300 million people in one night.

The Battle of Niutoushan where 20 people were killed in one battle.

Immortal Pond Surprise Attack, Fengyuan Great Battle

Compared with the above, what is this?

At least not so many people died.

I don't know when it started, Wei Changtian's attitude towards "life", or "human life" has changed a lot.

Thinking back to the first time when he heard that Ning Yongnian did not hesitate to kill 300 million people in Fengyuan City in order to eliminate the main force, he was so angry that he even decided to support Ning Yuke to rebel.

Later, during the Niutoushan ambush, when he saw the counter-insurgency army enter the valley, and he could take hundreds of thousands of lives with just one thought, Wei Changtian also hesitated, and in the end he could only say "war is for peace" Convince yourself.

But now?

Wei Changtian suddenly realized that he would no longer have any psychological fluctuations due to similar incidents, and he no longer needed some "reasons" to get his murderous intentions.

As long as someone needs to be killed for oneself, then kill.

As long as some people deserve to die from their own interests, they should die.

Human life seems to no longer have any special meaning, sometimes it is even just a number.

When Jing Guoqing was just killed, Wei Changtian didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, and he didn't feel any embarrassment or regret for the emperor.

This is undoubtedly completely different from his mentality when he killed Xiao Feng, Yunlian, and Ning Yongnian before.

So... did you become cold-blooded?

After a slight pause in his steps, Wei Changtian turned his head to look at a little girl covered in mud not far away, who was sitting on the ground crying and crying, and then continued to walk forward indifferently.

From a certain point of view, in such a feudal society with a low level of civilization, a world of self-cultivation where the law of the jungle is the lowest rule, his transformation is inevitable and necessary.

But if it is completely cold-blooded, Wei Changtian seems to be unable to do it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't let Wang Gan, Tang Chen, Chu An, or even Chu Xianping go.

In this way, it seems that he still retains a trace of "compassion" that he shouldn't have.

Wei Changtian didn't know whether this contradiction appeared because he was a time traveler, or because of human nature.

He also doesn't resent himself being too "cruel" at times and "kind" at other times.

He just can't understand some of the things he does sometimes.

For example now.

Looking down at the pastry box in his hand, Wei Changtian smiled wryly, and he still doesn't understand why he really brought these three boxes of mung bean cakes back.

If it was because of Yujia, Ketuier had made it clear that she had nothing to do with Yujia.

Even Yujia was just an assassin who wanted to harm him, but was used by him instead. He had no reason to care about her life or death.

So it's just for Tweety?

But this is even more inexplicable.

What does such a maid have to do with me?

"Ugh"

Sighing, shaking his head and forgetting all these things, Wei Changtian turned a street corner and walked into the alley.

Compared with the chaos outside, this place is much quieter. At first glance, there is no one in the alley, only a few old willows slowly shaking thousands of branches in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Stopping under one of the old willow trees, Wei Changtian raised his eyes to look at the closed courtyard door in front of him, then looked down at the blood on his body, and paused for a while with his outstretched hand.

In the end, he didn't knock on the courtyard door, but gently placed three boxes of mung bean cakes in front of the door, then turned and walked away.

"Squeak~"

And not long after he left, the courtyard door slowly opened a small crack along with a slight sound of opening the door.

Tweety looked at the figure in the distance through the crack of the door, biting her lip lightly with an extremely complicated expression.

Obviously, based on the poem Wei Changtian left yesterday and the warning this morning, even if Tweety still can't connect him with the rumored "Wei Yanluo", she can definitely tell that Wei Changtian is a rebel people over there.

Therefore, she should no longer have any more interaction with such dangerous people now.

However, after struggling for a while, she suddenly walked out of the courtyard door, and hurriedly shouted at the back:

"Wei, Mr. Wei!"

"..."

The figure in the distance paused, then slowly turned to look over, but did not speak.

Seeing the blood on Wei Changtian's body, Tweety was stunned for a moment, unable to utter a word when it came to her lips.

She stayed like this for a long time, and then she summoned up her courage and whispered in a voice that only she could hear:

"thanks."

"..."

It's hard to say what this "thank you" is for, but it probably wasn't the three boxes of mung bean cakes.

Facing such a thank you, Wei Changtian didn't respond, just nodded with a smile, and then returned to his small courtyard.

Walking into the house, he took out the mother-of-pearl jade and sent a few messages, boiled water and made a pot of tea, then sat at the table and watched the sunset outside the window in a daze.

The setting sun is full of imperial spirit, half into the river and half into the clouds.

The noise seemed to become more ethereal, Wei Changtian sat quietly, watching the twilight scene, waiting for the end of a dynasty.

That night, at the end of unitary time.

With the Tiangou army attacking the city for the seventh time, the west gate of Dagan capital was the first to break through.

The news of Jing Guoqing's death had spread all over the city at this moment, so the garrison who had lost their morale was unable to stop the counterattack, so they could only fight and retreat reluctantly, and retreated towards the city.

Countless ferocious monsters appeared in front of the people for the first time, and the black Tengu flag stood on the city wall for the first time.

every moment.

The west city gate was broken, and the pressure on the other three city gates naturally increased.

However, since there were loyal generals leading troops to fight to the death in these three directions, and the Tengu army was at a disadvantage in numbers, they did not continue to attack, but used the "air force" to carry out large-scale "air strikes".

For a time, the flames on the three walls of the city exploded continuously, countless guards died in the explosion, and the sound of the explosion was deafening and could be heard throughout the city.

At three o'clock.
