I'm the villain in the book

Page 571

The chips and hands of both parties are determined before the start of the game, and the only thing that can be changed is the strategy of playing cards.

And since this is the case, the number of players is not very meaningful.

It is enough for one person to play the cards, no matter how many people there are, they can only make one kind of decision.

not to mention......

"Young Master Wei, there is one person who hasn't arrived yet."

Suddenly, Yan Huaiqing said with a smile: "This person has an emergency at home, so he didn't come with me."

"But it must be here soon, please wait a moment, young master."

"..."

At this juncture, Yan Huaiqing suddenly said that there is still one of them who has not arrived?

Family emergency?

What could be more important than peace talks? ?

You are so lazy, can't you make up a better reason? ? ?

Obviously, the excuses Yan Huaiqing made could not be more fake.

But there is one more person he said that must be true.

"It's okay, then we'll just wait for him to come."

Glancing at Yan Huaiqing, Wei Changtian complained crazily in his heart, but he couldn't say much on his face, so he just nodded slightly.

And since they have to wait for someone, it's not a problem to wait, so the two sides took advantage of this gap to introduce the other three people to each other.

"Your Highness, this is Mr. Chu, and this is Miss Li. Both of them are members of my Wei family."

"Young Master Wei, this is General Xu, the leader of my Dajue Forbidden Army."

"..."

There is no doubt that there must be Chu Xianping in the information that Yan Huaiqing has, but Li Zimu is not. This can be detected from the way he looks at the two of them.

As for the leader of the forbidden army named Xu Heng...

Wei Changtian nodded at him expressionlessly, but was speechless for a while.

Good guy, is Yan Huanwen's control over Dajue Chaotang so tight?Du Nima, the leader of the dignified forbidden army, belongs to Yan Huaiqing.

Wait a minute.

It seems that Han Zhao once stabbed Ning Yongnian in the back as the chief general of the Forbidden Army.

From this point of view, it seems that these emperors cannot be blamed for their incompetence, but that there are too many bad guys...

After thinking wildly for a while, Wei Changtian casually asked Yan Huaiqing again.

"Your Highness, I don't know who the person who has not arrived yet is?"

"Oh, this person's last name is..."

Yan Huaiqing was about to answer, but at this moment there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Turning his head to look at the dozen or so riders galloping forward, he smiled slightly and said:

"Just right, he's here."

"..."

Judging from Yan Huaiqing's current appearance, he undoubtedly attached great importance to this person. Wei Changtian squinted his eyes and didn't ask any further questions. After looking at each other with Chu Xianping, he silently waited for the arrival of this mysterious person.

Soon, the dozen or so riders got closer and closer, and the figure on the horse gradually became clearer.

Except for a man in black, the rest are all silver-armored guards.

Then the former is undoubtedly the master.

"Shut up!"

Reining in the horses, passing through thousands of silver armored soldiers outside the hall, the man in black walked quickly towards the door of the hall.

And looking at the very unfamiliar face of that person, Wei Changtian felt a little uneasy for some reason.

The fluctuation of true qi is not strong, it is about the sixth or fifth rank.

He was about the same age as himself, and he was not a high-ranking official in terms of clothes.

So, why did Yan Huaiqing attach so much importance to this person, not only asking him to participate in this peace talk, but also waiting for him willingly?

The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more confused he became, and the man in black got closer and closer, until he stood upright and stopped in front of Yan Huaiqing.

"The subordinate is late, please forgive me, His Royal Highness!"

"Hahaha, no problem!"

Gently patted the man in black on the shoulder, Yan Huaiqing turned his head with a smile and introduced to Wei Changtian:

"Young Master Wei, his name is Tang Chen."

Chapter 656 The Invisible Battlefield ([-])

soup dust.

The moment Wei Changtian heard this name, the smile froze on his face.

From Yan Huanwen's mouth, he already knew that this person was the "culprit" who uncovered Daning'an's spying among the enemy troops.

And in the system, this person is the fifth Son of Heaven.

[5: Ghost Valley Sect, Outer Sect Disciple, Tang Chen]

Recalling the brief system prompt, Wei Changtian frowned slightly.

Guigu Sect is indeed located in the territory of Dajue, and it can be regarded as a moderate sect.

An outsider disciple of such a sect chose to enlist in the army after the war started, and soon made great achievements in battle, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Yan Huanwen...

None of the above is too difficult to understand.

But Tang Chen had just received Yan Huanwen's favor, so why is he working hard for Yan Huaiqing now?

More importantly, the fact that he can appear here now means that Yan Huaiqing ordered him to be recalled at least a few days in advance.

He rushed back to Dajue from Tianshan without using the teleportation array... From the analysis of time, Tang Chen should have just taken Yan Huanwen back to Liangzhou when he left for Dajue.

So, Yan Huaiqing actually had the intention to negotiate peace with him before the "Xianchi Raid" happened?

Also, since Tang Chen can also "read minds", how should he deal with the next negotiation?

For a while, Wei Changtian's mood gradually became tense, and his thoughts became a little confused because of this sudden change.

In fact, he really wanted to kill Tang Chen directly.

Although there is a second-rank general standing in front of him, there are thousands of forbidden troops not far away.

But with his current strength in the late stage of the third rank, coupled with the "God Strike", even if Tang Chen had a secret item on him, it would not help.

And with the teleportation array right behind him, he can escape with ease after killing someone.

1500 points for a Son of Heaven, plus the elimination of an important figure in the enemy... For Wei Changtian personally, this deal is undoubtedly a good deal.

However, in terms of the overall situation, if he really killed Tang Chen, it would undoubtedly mean the complete collapse of the peace talks.

It is definitely impossible for Yan Huaiqing to talk to himself again, and a full-scale war will become inevitable.

And once there is a real fight, as Chu Xianping said before, no matter whether he wins or not in the end, the result will be unbearable for Daning and Dashu.

Therefore, Tang Chen can't kill him yet.

Even if he really wanted to kill him, it would be after the negotiations broke down and the war became inevitable...

Thinking of this, Wei Changtian made up his mind, and finally looked at Tang Chen and nodded slowly.

"Young Master Tang, I've heard of you for a long time."

"Huh? Mr. Wei has heard of him?"

On the other side, Yan Huaiqing was taken aback when he heard the words, but quickly realized that a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I see. It should be the father and the son who said it."

"Yes."

Wei Changtian didn't hide anything, and calmly replied: "The more than a hundred secret agents we placed in your army disappeared overnight, so I naturally want to find out the reason."

"Hahaha, that's what I said."

Yan Huaiqing smiled and said: "Tang Chen was born in the Guigu sect, and he has a good ability to read people's minds. It is not difficult to find out a few details."

"If not, I wouldn't have called him back from the Tianshan Mountains."

"Mr. Wei, now that you and I are standing here, planning to find a better way out for the millions of soldiers in the Tianshan Mountains and the Three Kingdoms of Jue, Ning, and Shu, then let the past go."

"Whether it's the incident of the night in Xianchi, or the hundreds of detailed operations...they are just common occurrences on the battlefield."

"Tang Chen is only acting according to orders, and I hope that the young master can put aside the past suspicions and stop pursuing it."

"..."

Abandon past suspicions and no longer pursue.

I have to say that Yan Huaiqing's words are very good.

He knew that it was impossible for Wei Changtian to kill Tang Chen, but he still put on an appearance of interceding for the latter, and even said that he would not pursue the "Xianchi surprise attack".

Presumably, the purpose was not to win a wave of goodwill in front of Tang Chen, let alone to show how much he put the overall situation first.

This is actually a kind of deterrence and threat.

On the one hand, Yan Huaiqing wants to remind Wei Changtian that Tang Chen can see through the identity of the spy, so he can naturally see through the truth of what the three of them said.

On the other hand, Yan Huaiqing also wanted to use this to express his unhappiness.

Only a hundred or so of you died, but nearly 10 of us were killed or injured in the night of the Xianchi sneak attack.

Although you and I are now preparing for peace talks, I feel that the soldiers must not die in vain.

These one hundred thousand lives, you have to get me back from other places!

"Your Highness..."

Taking a deep look at Yan Huaiqing, Wei Changtian naturally understood what the latter meant.

He didn't confront him either, he just nodded and said calmly: "I still have a bit of heart, so I won't embarrass Mr. Tang."

"Now that everyone is here, let's start quickly."

"it is good."

Yan Huaiqing smiled and made a "please" gesture.

"Young Master Wei, please."

"Please."

......

......

Finally, a quarter of an hour after Wei Changtian arrived at the Purple Mountain Palace, the two sides finally ended their initial trials.

Yan Huaiqing had already arranged the place for the peace talks, and it was in a side room of the Purple Mountain Palace. Through the window, one could see the incomparably mysterious teleportation black mist.

Six people sat on the chairs on both sides, and there was a charcoal basin in the middle of the room for heating.

Different from ordinary people's charcoal basins, this basin should be made of gold, with circles of lotus flowers carved on the bottom, roughly six layers.

Even the charcoal that is slowly burning in the basin is not ordinary charcoal, it smells a faint fragrance of white plum.

The royal family's spending is really unusual.

This gold charcoal basin may not have a better heating effect than ordinary copper charcoal basins, but what stands out is a luxury.

Including the tables, chairs and tea sets in the house, they are all expensive and extravagant one by one.

It's just that everyone is completely indifferent to these things, and Wei Changtian even doubts whether there will be some kind of fragrance added to the charcoal fire...

After sniffing it carefully, he found that he was thinking too much, so he turned his eyes to Yan Huaiqing, and said the first sentence after entering the room.
