I'm the villain in the book

Page 728

Frowning slightly, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, then raised his head and told Zhang San who was driving:

"Remember to send a letter to Xu Suisui later, asking her what my grandfather is doing recently."

"Yes! Son!"

Soon, Zhang San's voice came from outside the curtain, and at the same time the carriage began to slow down slowly.

But after a few breaths, the car stopped completely, and Zhang San's voice became a little more serious.

"Sir, it's here."

......

......

The city gate was closed tightly, and there was a dead silence.

When Wei Changtian's carriage stopped at the foot of Linchuan City, there was no movement around.

Not only did no one come out to question, even the guards on the city wall didn't speak. They all stared at the carriage below the city with weapons in their hands and said nothing.

Obviously, they were not going to open the city gate to "welcome" Wei Changtian.

And Wei Changtian couldn't just waste time with them like this, so he immediately gave Zhang San a wink.

The latter understood it, and immediately jumped out of the carriage, took a few steps forward, and shouted towards the city:

"Listen!"

"The person in the car is Wei Changtian, Mr. Wei! This time, he came here specially to send back the soldiers!"

"But you have closed the gates of the city tightly, but you want to abandon these 20 compatriots?"

"In that case, then I will take people away immediately!"

"..."

He didn't say anything like "If we don't open the city gate, we'll kill them." Although Zhang San's tone was tough, he was still "convincing people with reason".

We are here to return the surrendered soldiers, what do you mean by not opening the city gate?

Don't you want these 20 people?

Okay, since you don't want it, let's go...

There is no doubt that this statement must be what Wei Changtian meant.

And the reason why Wei Changtian changed his style in the Dahui, and didn't turn his face immediately, was also because he fully considered the difference between Daqian and Dahui.

It is too difficult to be tough from the front, so you must find another way out.

After all, there are many ways to overthrow a regime, and it doesn't necessarily have to be through war or mass killing.

In fact, there is a more "civilized" method.

According to the technical terms of the previous life, this method is divided into two types: "vertical instigation" and "horizontal instigation".

I won’t explain much about the specific meanings of these two words. In short, they all belong to the same big “category”——

coup.

Chapter 842 Very Confident

"Boom!

! ”

Not long after Zhang San finished yelling, just as Wei Changtian expected, the heavy city of Linchuan finally opened slowly amidst loud noises.

Looking at the man standing behind the city gate, Xu Quan immediately whispered to Wei Changtian:

"My lord, that's Su Qi."

"..."

Looking up through the curtain of the car, Wei Changtian immediately saw this Daqian Qingliu who was said to be jealous.

He is not tall, about fifty years old, his official uniform is spotless, and he stands tall and straight.

Well, it does look quite honest.

"Let's go into town."

Glancing at Su Qi standing behind the city gate as if waiting for him, Wei Changtian calmly put down the curtain and gave a casual order.

Hearing this, Zhang San immediately returned to the carriage, and drove towards the city.

"Grumble..."

The sound of the wheels was especially clear in the silence around, and the black carriage drove past the city gate at a leisurely pace, just getting closer and closer to Su Qi under the "all eyes".

However, the carriage that everyone thought would stop did not slow down. It still maintained its original speed and made a slight turn, passing Su Qi directly.

Ok?

All the soldiers on the city wall were taken aback when they saw this scene, they didn't expect Wei Changtian to ignore Su Qi so much.

And Su Qi's face became very ugly in an instant, and he turned around and shouted:

"and many more!"

"... Whew!"

Zhang San's "Woo" sounded a little slowly. Although the carriage stopped, it was about ten feet away from Su Qi.

Looking at the motionless carriage, Su Qi gritted his teeth, and finally walked over slowly.

"My official is the Governor of Linchuan, Su Qi!"

"Is Mr. Wei Changtian Wei in the car?"

Standing on the side of the carriage, Su Qi stared at the curtain, and said word by word:

"Mr. Wei, I wonder if you would like to get out of the car and have a talk with me?"

"..."

The breeze blew through the corners of the clothes, and the purple official clothes shook slightly.

Su Qi just stood alone beside the carriage, motionless, as if he had no fear that the people in the carriage were the "Living Yama" who made countless people fearful.

Among other things, this at least shows that he is indeed a rather courageous person.

It's just that Wei Changtian's attitude towards such a "hero" is very disdainful.

"Get out of the car and talk?"

"Master Su, do I know you very well?"

Some mocking voices came from the sedan chair, but the curtain was never opened.

Facing Wei Changtian's ridicule, Su Qi's face remained unchanged, and he still replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:

"Young Master Wei, you and I have never met before, how can we talk about familiarity?"

"But since you came to send back my generals, and I received the 20 people under His Majesty's order, so I want to talk to you, you should be right!"

"Return? Receive?"

The smile in Wei Changtian's voice was even bigger: "Master Su, you made a mistake."

"I'm not that kind. I'm not here to send back the surrendered soldiers."

"As for other things...you are not worthy to talk to me, you should go to Jing Guoqing."

"Zhang San, let's go."

After saying the last sentence, there was no more movement in the sedan chair, and the carriage drove slowly again, heading towards the city of Linchuan.

Seeing the carriage drifting away, Su Qi didn't make a sound to stop him, but just stood there motionless, with no sadness or joy on his expression, nor the anger after being humiliated.

"grown ups......"

Not long after, a servant ran to his side and asked cautiously: "Now we..."

"Keep an eye on him, see where he lives, who he sees."

Still staring at the direction the carriage was leaving, Su Qi said slowly:

"In addition, send a letter to His Majesty, saying that everything here is under control!"

"..."

......

Two quarters of an hour later, an inn located in the west of Linchuan City.

"Sir, since you don't intend to talk to Su Qi, why are we going into the city?"

In the guest room, Yang Liushi asked with a puzzled expression: "Wouldn't it be safer to wait for Jing Guoqing to come in the barracks?"

Regarding the "first confrontation" that just ended, Yang Liushi was obviously quite puzzled by Wei Changtian's actions.

First of all, as Wei Changtian said, they will definitely not easily hand over the 20 surrendered troops in their hands this time, but will use this as a bargaining chip to do something.

In this case, the 20 people could not go any further, at most they could only go to Linchuan.

Therefore, Yang Liushi originally thought that Wei Changtian was planning to chat with Su Qi first when he entered the city, to see if he could get some information in advance.

Unexpectedly, Wei Changtian had no intention of talking at all.

Then why go to town?

Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the barracks and wait for Jing Guoqing to come?

"Who said I'm not going to talk to Su Qi?"

Facing Yang Liushi's question, Wei Changtian smiled, and said meaningfully: "It's just not now."

"When was that?"

Yang Liushi was even more puzzled: "There is no one from us in Linchuan Mansion, what does Mr. Xiang want?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Wei Changtian stood up and said, "Let me ask you first, do you think Jing Guoqing will come if I let him come to Sichuan?"

"this......"

Yang Liushi thought for a while, then shook her head: "Probably not."

"He is bound to be afraid that his husband will kill him, so he may not dare to show his face."

"It's not maybe, it's definitely not."

Wei Changtian glanced out the window, his tone was very firm: "There are not many people in the world who don't know my methods, not to mention the lessons learned by Yan Huanwen and Lu Hongji, how dare he meet me."

"So, I have to find a way to make him show up, or even come to Sichuan in person."

"But how is this to be done?"

Yang Liushi looked worried: "I'm afraid he won't take this risk no matter what happens."

"Well, it's definitely not okay to force him to come."

Wei Changtian nodded: "But he can be tricked."

"cheat?"

Yang Liushi blinked: "How to lie?"

"It's up to Su Qi..."

After talking for a while, he finally returned to Su Qi.

Wei Changtian walked to the window, closed the open wooden window casually, and said with a smile:

"It can be seen that he is indeed trusted by Jing Guoqing, and he is indeed an upright person."

"Since that's the case, it's easy to handle..."

"..."

Sunlight came in through the window, and there was no sound in the guest room.

In the end, Wei Changtian didn't explain to Yang Liushi what he was going to do.
