I'm the villain in the book

Page 220

But the chief escort with a beard in front of him gave an answer that surprised him.

"Young Master Wei, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out about this matter..."

"Because the three bodyguards who sent this Yunlian girl to Shuzhou all died violently on the second day after arriving in the city."

......

Seven days ago, Yun Lian arrived in Shuzhou City in the carriage of Wantong Bodyguard Bureau. Because Lu Jingyao paid enough fare, three bodyguards accompanied her all the way.

After the four of them arrived in the city, the Wantong Escort Bureau had completed its mission, and Yun Lian didn't know where she was going, so the three Escorts put her in an inn and left.

After that, the three bodyguards died.

No.1 fell into the river and drowned because of drinking too much.

The second person committed suicide due to a sudden attack of a secret illness while practicing.

The third person was even more bizarre, he died on the belly of a brothel girl.

Someone in the yamen checked it, and the conclusion given was that the blood was stagnant... As the saying goes, it is cool to death.

Although the deaths of the three were very strange, there was indeed no clear connection between the deaths of the three. In the end, the Yamen characterized the matter as a coincidence and did not delve into it further.

As for Yun Lian... Later Wantong Security Bureau felt that something was wrong and sent someone to the inn to inquire about the situation.

But Yunlian never lived in the inn at all, and no one knew where she went.

"..."

"Young Master Wei, that's about it."

"The villain dares to guarantee the truth with his life!"

The man standing in front of him smacked his chest swearingly, but Wei Changtian didn't look at him at all, his mind was full of thoughts about the three bodyguards who died.

There is no doubt that the deaths of these three people are inseparable from Yunlian.

Plus what Lu Jingyao mentioned in the letter...

So what is this cloud lotus? ?

Isn't it a fish demon?

Why does it sound like the lone star of Tiansha? ? ?

Could it have something to do with the blessing direction of her heavenly luck?

Wei Changtian didn't know that his random guess was close to the truth, and after pondering for a while, he asked the man in front of him.

"Besides these, what other things did the three bodyguards say about this person?"

"this......"

The man thought hard for a long time when he heard the words, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he remembered something.

"correct!"

"Young Master Wei, one of the bodyguards mentioned it by chance."

"It is said that Miss Yunlian once asked them if they knew someone named Xiao Feng."

"Xiao Feng?!"

Wei Changtian stood up abruptly, widened his eyes and asked, "And then?!"

"Uh......"

The escort was taken aback by Wei Changtian's reaction, and quickly replied truthfully: "Miss Yunlian said that as long as she can find Xiao Feng, she can find her husband."

"But the bodyguard had never heard of Xiao Feng, and seeing that Miss Yunlian was pretty, he jokingly said that if she couldn't find a husband, he could be her husband..."

"Young Master Wei, most of us escorts are vulgar, and this statement is just a joke..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Wei Changtian frowned and shouted, "Go ahead!"

"Yes Yes Yes......"

The head of the escort did not dare to breathe for a moment, and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"The bodyguard said that he just made a joke, but Miss Yunlian seemed to be angry, and she whispered back..."

"I will definitely find my husband, even if he dies."

......

An hour later, the Shuzhou Freemasonry branched out.

A woman's portrait was distributed to thousands of gangs, along with a "supreme order".

Their main job for a period of time to come is to find a needle in a haystack in Shuzhou City, and use all means and at all costs to find this woman.

"My lord, everything has been arranged."

In the dark room, Chu Xianping looked at Wei Changtian who was frowning tightly and said in a low voice, "Unless this Yunlian hides deliberately, the result should be found within three days."

"Oh, as soon as possible."

Wei Changtian sighed and temporarily put this matter aside.

Although now I know that this Yunlian is related to Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng has contacted so many people overtly and secretly in Shuzhou, who knows which one is her husband-in-law?

Damn, it would be great if Xiao Feng was still alive.

After taking a sip of tea and adjusting his mood, Wei Changtian remembered another thing.

"By the way, brother Chu, how is the investigation of the imperial court's order to send troops to Yuanzhou?"

"Oh, I've checked it out."

Chu Xianping handed over a notice.

"Five days ago, the Ministry of War sent a tiger talisman to the government offices of the fifteen prefectures, requesting that the fifteen prefectures prepare their armaments and increase their troops to Yuanzhou within ten days."

"Shuzhou is among the fifteen states."

"Fifteen states..."

Wei Changtian took the notice and read it once, and he probably knew it in his heart.

Fifteen states, including ten border states and five central states.

Such scheduling is not a problem, it basically belongs to the conventional deployment of troops in wartime.

After all, although Daning has a total of 36 states, the real fighting force is the border state where a large number of troops have been stationed for a long time.

If we want to start a war with Dafeng now, we must dispatch troops from these frontier states first.

Wei Changtian knew that with Liang Zhen's character, he would definitely not resist the order on such a big family matter, so he didn't think about trying to persuade the latter not to send troops.

but......

Even though he hasn't broken his face with Ning Yongnian yet, Wei Changtian always feels that the latter is going to play tricks on him again in this matter.

In other words, the Yin beam vibrates once.

No, I have to talk to Liang Zhen.

Sigh... so f*cking busy, I originally planned to have a good exchange of feelings with Yang Liushi tonight, but now there is a high probability that I will not have the time.

Sighing for a while, Wei Changtian suddenly remembered a sentence of chicken soup from his previous life.

If I hold a brick, I cannot hug you; if I put down a brick, I cannot support you.

If you apply these words to yourself, shouldn't it be called——

I'm so worried, I can't fuck...cough!

Chapter 253

When Wei Changtian arrived at the General Military Mansion, Xu Qingwan and the three of them were already waiting at the door. It was obvious that Yuan'er had come to report the letter.

I haven't seen the three women for more than half a month, and they are still the same as before, but the first words after seeing him are different.

Liang Qin: "Brother Changtian, why don't you see Miss You?"

Yang Liushi: "My lord, is this trip going well? Has everything been settled?"

Xu Qingwan: "Chang Tian, ​​are you all alright?"

"fine......"

After answering the three girls one by one, Wei Changtian turned his attention to Liang Qin again, and asked with a smile:

"What? I heard that you also want to go to Yuanzhou?"

"Ok!"

Liang Qin was a little excited: "Yes! Brother Changtian, you support me!"

"Would I agree to talk about it later..."

After glancing at Xu Qingwan and Yang Liushi, who were full of sadness, Wei Changtian asked again, "Where's Uncle Liang?"

"My father is discussing matters with several lieutenants."

Liang Qin explained: "We are leaving for Yuanzhou the day after tomorrow."

"Are you leaving the day after tomorrow?"

Wei Changtian thought for a while, then nodded.

"I have something to discuss with Uncle Liang...Wan'er, Liu Shi, you go back first."

"it is good."

Xu Qingwan and Yang Liushi looked at each other, and seemed to have something to say, but they held back for the time being.

The two women turned around and left quickly, while Wei Changtian and Liang Qin walked through the General Military Mansion to Liang Zhen's study.

The door of the room was closed tightly, and there were several soldiers in green armor standing outside the door.

"Miss, Mr. Wei, the commander-in-chief is discussing matters in the room."

"Well, please go in and let me know that I'm back."

Wei Changtian gave an order, and looked up at the night sky again after the soldiers entered the room to report.

Clouds are gathering and rainstorms are approaching.

Suddenly, he casually asked:

"Qin'er, why do you insist on going to Yuanzhou?"

"Huh? As a practitioner, it is natural to defend the country and drive away foreign enemies at this time."

"Then do you know that I don't actually deal with the court?"

"Dad said something before..."

Liang Qin looked at Wei Changtian seriously: "Brother Changtian, but I think these are two different things."

"Two different things?"

Wei Changtian withdrew his gaze, and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

"Well... I went to Yuanzhou with my father this time to guard the territory of Daning and protect the people of Daning, not for the court and the emperor."

Liang Qin explained seriously: "If the court fights with the Wei family in the future, my father and I will definitely stand by your side, Brother Changtian."

"Hahaha, you guys can figure it out."

Wei Changtian laughed twice and didn't speak again.

In the eyes of the common people in such a feudal society, the emperor is the emperor, the emperor, and the real "spokesman" of the way of heaven.

Therefore, unless they were forced to the point like the Xu family, few people would openly oppose the royal family.

This is also the reason why the ancient rebellion in the previous life mostly used the reason of "Qing Jun's side".

The purpose is, at least in name, not to directly conflict with the royal family.

Based on this, Wei Changtian can actually understand Liang Zhen and Liang Qin's thoughts very well.

The country was in distress and the emperor issued an order. They couldn't refuse Ning Yongnian's order to send troops to reinforce Yuanzhou.
