I'm the villain in the book

Page 574

Among the three, Tang Chen was the only one who was calmer. He was stunned for a moment, and then secretly ordered the tapir leopard to open his eyes and look towards Wei Changtian...

Obviously, Tang Chen wanted to see if Wei Changtian was bluffing.

Although the latter knew what he was going to do, he still didn't summon the Luck God Beast. He just glanced at the three of them coldly, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Huaiqing's face.

"Your Highness, let me say it one last time."

"Withdraw troops, and there will be no strings attached."

"If you don't agree, then no matter how many arrangements and arrangements you have made in this Zishan Palace, I guarantee that the three of you will never take a step out of this palace."

"I've never been a man of rules."

"In my opinion, you and I are still enemies if we can't make peace, and since we are enemies, then naturally I should kill them as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way, my patience is also very limited."

"So I hope His Highness can make a decision earlier, lest you regret it after turning into a dead soul."

"..."

After saying the last sentence, Wei Changtian shook his sleeves, leaned on the back of the chair and said nothing more.

At this time, not only Yan Huaiqing and Xu Heng who were on the opposite side, but even Chu Xianping were stunned.

Before they came to Zishan Palace, they had made many plans for this peace talk, but Wei Changtian's words and deeds at this time were undoubtedly not in any kind of plan.

Therefore, Chu Xianping didn't understand why Wei Changtian suddenly acted so aggressively.

He wasn't doubting whether Wei Changtian had the ability to kill all three of them on the spot, but he didn't understand the meaning of this threat.

Even if Yan Huaiqing agrees now, he can go back on his word if he turns his head. After all, this kind of agreement reached under the threat of life and death does not have any binding force at all.

And if Yan Huaiqing refuses...is it really necessary to kill him?

No matter which of the above two situations happens, the war will be inevitable, which runs counter to the original intention of stopping the war.

So although Chu Xianping was calm on the surface, he was unavoidably at a loss in his heart.

On the contrary, Li Zimu seemed to have understood Wei Changtian's intention, and his eyes quickly returned to normal.

She looked at the fragments of the teacup scattered on the ground, then picked up her teacup and walked to Wei Changtian's side.

"Young master, I have never used this cup of tea."

"..."

Looking up at Li Zimu with drooping eyes, Wei Changtian was a little surprised, but said casually:

"Well, put it aside."

"Yes."

Li Zimu bowed his head in response, slowly placed the teacup by Wei Changtian's hand, then went back to his chair and sat down.

Chu Xianping was taken aback by the operation of the two, but Yan Huaiqing and Xu Heng on the opposite side had long since neglected this side, and they all looked at Tang Chen with livid faces.

In the almost frozen air, Tang Chen quickly turned his head to look back.

He paused for a moment with a solemn expression, then nodded slightly.

......

......

The meaning of Tang Chen's nodding this time is not simple.

It not only means that Wei Changtian is really intent on killing, but also means that at least from Wei Changtian's perspective, it is not difficult for him to kill three people with one person.

"..."

The Adam's apple squirmed slightly, and Yan Huaiqing had no doubt at this time that if he said "no", Wei Changtian would violently kill people in a second.

After all, this was the answer given by Tang Chen.

And as for whether Wei Changtian cheated in it...

In fact, there is no such thing.

Because what Wei Changtian just said was the truth.

As long as Yan Huaiqing refuses to withdraw his troops, he will immediately kill the former without any hesitation.

At first glance, such behavior does not seem to be in line with his purpose of "stopping the war".

But all of this was within Wei Changtian's plan.

He actually took advantage of a loophole in Tang Chen's mind reading technique.

In what he said just now, he added a precondition of "not agreeing to withdraw troops" to "kill Yan Huaiqing".

"I will kill you" and "If so, then I will kill you" are two completely different meanings.

It is also because of this that Wei Changtian turned the lie into the truth, and then used Tang Chen's mind reading skills to give Yan Huaiqing a great shock.

And next, he will continue to expand this deterrent effect.

"Your Highness, haven't you thought about it yet?"

One second before Yan Huaiqing was about to speak softly, Wei Changtian suddenly raised his head, and blocked the former's words just right.

He looked at Yan Huaiqing who had a stiff expression, and said with a smile:

"In this case, I might as well tell you something that you don't know."

"Your Highness, your father has already seen what you are doing now."

"And before coming here, I had already made a deal with him."

"Kill you, let him go back to Dajue and hold the court again."

"In return, he will withdraw all Dajue soldiers."

"Look, Your Highness, if I want to stop the war, I don't necessarily have to cooperate with you."

"As for why I haven't killed you yet, and even chatted with you so much...the reason is just to see which of you father and son offers a higher price."

"And now it seems..."

Under Yan Huaiqing's astonished eyes, Wei Changtian shook his head, and said with a look of disappointment:

"You seem to want to live less than your father."

Chapter 660 The Invisible Battlefield ([-])

There was no wind in the room, and the heat of the charcoal fire enveloped Yan Huaiqing as if it had solidified, making fine sweat ooze from his forehead at some point.

His eyes were wide open, and the sound of rapid breathing was heard clearly in everyone's ears, filled with intense fear.

There is no doubt that what Wei Changtian said just now was too murderous.

Not only did it completely push Yan Huanwen and Yan Huaiqing to the opposite side, but it also took the initiative in this peace talk in one fell swoop.

Killing you and cooperating with your father, I can still achieve my goal.

So you are simply dispensable in my eyes.

In the sudden change, Yan Huaiqing had no time to think too much, and almost subconsciously believed Wei Changtian's words.

As for whether this is true or not...

Obviously, this is of course false.

Although Wei Changtian had never talked to Yan Huanwen, Wei Zhaohai had put forward similar conditions to Yan Huanwen.

But Yan Huanwen refused without even thinking about it.

The reason may be that he didn't expect Yan Huaiqing to be so heartless, and he thought of saving him at all.

It's also possible that he hated Wei Changtian too much, and even risked his own death to make Wei Changtian pay the price.

Or some other reason.

In short, Yan Huanwen never reached any deal with Wei Changtian.

Therefore, what Wei Changtian just said was a complete lie.

But it's another lie that sounds perfectly plausible.

With Yan Huaiqing's mentality, he should have doubts about this after he regained his composure.

He didn't even need to guess at all, he only needed to make Tang Chen perform another mind reading technique to discover the truth.

It's a pity that since Wei Changtian has already achieved this step, he will definitely not give Tang Chen a third chance to read his mind.

And he will use this to add fuel to the flames and directly defeat Yan Huaiqing's psychological defense.

"Your Highness, why don't you speak? Do you regret coming to Zishan Palace?"

"Do you think that if there is no peace talks today, everything will be fine?"

Without pausing for too long, Wei Changtian quickly looked at Yan Huaiqing who was sweating profusely with a smile, and said lightly:

"Then I can only tell you with regret that no matter whether the peace talks or not, no matter what you do, I can kill you anytime I want."

"You should know a lot about me. You've heard that I can kill the second rank with one move."

"But to be honest, I have far more means than you can imagine."

"In my eyes, you are just an ant that can be easily crushed to death."

"So, do you know how I felt when I saw you smug and self-satisfied just now..."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian sneered at Yan Huaiqing's surprised and angry eyes:

"Ha ha."

"It's really pitiful and ridiculous."

"..."

Both pathetic and ridiculous.

These six words of Wei Changtian only express one meaning, that is to look down and tease from top to bottom.

Poor, because you are weak.

It's ridiculous because you are weak and don't know it.

These two words, as well as the meaning in the words, are undoubtedly a great insult to Yan Huaiqing, who is the prince of a country, and it also made his face turn red in an instant.

He stood up abruptly, his tightly clenched fists trembling uncontrollably, his eyes were filled with rage that couldn't be added like flames.

However, Wei Changtian still sat calmly on the chair, and reached out to pick up the teacup that Li Zimu had just put down.

"Your Highness, I know that you have prepared a lot for today's peace talks, thinking that you can take advantage of me."

"But now that everything has become futile, I will naturally feel unwilling in my heart."

"But in my opinion, what you're doing is really naive..."

Having said that, Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at Tang Chen with a heavy face.

"Finding such a person, do you feel that the winning ticket is in your hands?"

"Yes, this person is indeed useful in dealing with those secret agents in the military."

"But in front of me, he is just an ant like you."

"What? Don't believe it?"

Lowering his eyes, Wei Changtian stopped looking at Yan Huaiqing who was trembling all over.

He just raised the teacup to his mouth, and then said lightly:

"Your Highness, don't you firmly believe in Mr. Tang's words?"

"Then let him tell you himself..."

"..."

Amid everyone's astonishment, doubt, fear, bewilderment and other different but extremely complex gazes, Wei Changtian lowered his head and took a sip of his tea.

And at the moment when the tea was in the mouth, Tang Chen on the opposite side suddenly opened his eyes wide open as if he had seen some fierce ghost, and his hands trembled violently in an instant.

He opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out of his throat. His body instinctively wanted to back up, but he forgot that he was still sitting on the chair.
