I'm the villain in the book

Page 718

"If there is nothing wrong, then keep an eye on the four city gates and wait for my order."

"Do you understand everything?"

"Yes! I will understand!"

The neat chorus sounded immediately, and it could be seen that these new generals were very respectful to Wei Changtian.

But after a while, someone tentatively asked:

"Young master, I don't know if I should ask you something."

"ask."

Wei Changtian spat out one word concisely.

"Yes"

Looking at several colleagues around him, the speaker hesitated for a while, and then asked softly:

"Young Master, if Gongsun Yan dies tomorrow, are we really going to massacre the city?"

"..."

There was no sound, and the needles could be heard falling.

As soon as these words fell, the main tent fell into a deathly silence, but everyone's expressions were different.

There is no doubt that even in wartime, massacring a city, or massacring people is a very disastrous thing, even if it is the people of the enemy country.

What's more, now that the Great Return has already been defeated.

Therefore, from the perspective of these generals, their mood at the moment can be said to be extremely entangled.

But Duan Fangping and the others didn't have this kind of "psychological burden". At this time, they were all staring at Wei Changtian short of breath, obviously with different tendencies in their hearts.

And Wei Changtian did give the answer they were expecting very quickly.

"What? Don't you think I'm just bluffing?"

"Subordinate, subordinate dare not!"

The general who had just spoken just now fell to his knees with a "plop", and hurriedly argued in a panic: "The subordinates just feel that the soldiers led this time are all surrendered by large cadres, and the morale of the army is hard to control."

"If you really want to massacre the city, your subordinates should make arrangements as early as possible."

"Oh, I see."

After glancing at the general coldly, Wei Changtian slowly stood up.

"Then make arrangements in advance."

"..."

Then you should arrange it in advance.

Although he didn't answer the question directly, this sentence was actually the answer.

The faces of all the generals changed in an instant, but no one dared to raise a half-word of objection, they just responded repeatedly:

"Yes! Please rest assured, my lord! I understand!"

"Well, it's good to understand."

On the other side, Wei Changtian snorted and stopped looking at them, but turned his head and said to Duan Fangping and the others:

"Four seniors, the business here is over, let's go."

".Ah good!"

After recovering, Duan Fangping and the others hurriedly stood up, and looked at Wei Changtian with fanaticism.

If Wei Changtian's performance in the past three days gave them a feeling of being "deceived", then the scene at this moment made the four of them finally feel what it means to be a "top villain".

This is the capital of a country, the lives of millions of people!

Mr. Wei kills as soon as he says!He didn't hesitate at all!

Although Duan Fangping and the others had killed many people before, no matter who they killed, they never hesitated or entangled.

But in all fairness, if they had to face such a situation by themselves, none of Duan Fangping and the others dared to say that they could be as "ruthless" as Wei Changtian.

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with it!That's right!

If they were not in the barracks right now, Duan Fangping and the others wished they could kneel down to Wei Changtian immediately to express their excitement and admiration.

It's just that they don't know that Wei Changtian is actually not as cruel as they imagined.

Regardless of whether it is "the benevolence of a woman" or "the human nature has not been wiped out", in short, he really cannot do the act of massacring the city like Ning Yongnian.

And the reason why he didn't tell the truth to those generals was only because he wanted to do enough tricks.

The people in the city will only believe if you let your own people believe it first.

Only in this way can the latter feel real fear.

About half an hour later, Wei Changtian and the others returned to Zhuwu by car.

It was dusk at this time, and the Yongding City seen along the way back was still relatively calm.

After all, it was just a large army besieging the city, but the news of the massacre had not yet spread, and most of the people were not in a panic.

However, it is estimated that it will not be long before this peace will no longer exist.

"Master!"

All the way back to the small courtyard, Yang Liushi, who had been pacing back and forth in the courtyard, immediately greeted her.

However, she did not ask about the army outside the city, but said in a hurry:

"Chu Xianping just sent someone here, saying that he wants to see you again tonight!"

"Ok?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback when he heard the words, wondering where Chu Xianping was playing.

Realized you were going to lose?

Or is there some other conspiracy?

Or do you simply want to talk to yourself again?

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian asked:

"where?"

"At the foot of Longshou Mountain there is a small lake called Acacia, that's where it is."

"When?"

"Someone said that Mr. Xiang, you can go whenever you are free, and Chu Xianping will always wait."

".Okay, I see. Let's eat first."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian still decided to meet Chu Xianping.

Based on his understanding of the latter, this should not be a trap, at least not the clumsy trick of "laying an ambush by the lake to assassinate himself".

But it's still a bit unsafe to go like this.

"Call Li Zimu."

Suddenly, Wei Changtian, who had already walked a few steps, turned around and said in a deep voice:

"Tell her she's coming with me tonight."

Chapter 830

It's night, Acacia Lake.

Acacia Lake is not big, it is located at the foot of Longshou Mountain in a seldom-visited corner.

It is rumored that this lake was not called "Acacia" before, but a touching story happened hundreds of years ago, so the name was changed.

The story is also very simple. It is said that at that time, there was a pawn in the Great Hui Forbidden Army who fell in love with a court lady, and they secretly made a lifelong appointment.

Although there is no rule in the palace that forbidden soldiers and palace maids cannot fall in love, the two have not really married after all, and they are afraid of being seen by others, so they mostly date quietly by the lake on weekdays.

Complaining to each other heartfeltly, rubbing ears and temples together.

Like all lovers in love, the two were in love at the time, and they made an appointment to go to the House of Internal Affairs to have a relationship after the man made meritorious service and was promoted, so that the woman could leave the palace and get married in advance.

And not long after that, the opportunity for a man to be promoted really came.

The civil uprising in the south failed to be suppressed by the local government. At that time, the Emperor Dahui led the imperial army to the south to quell the chaos.

There is nothing to say about the process of calming down the chaos. After all, a group of bandits and grass bandits are no match for the imperial army under the emperor's command.

Therefore, it didn't take three months for the army to return to Beijing victoriously, and the city of Yongding was decorated with lanterns and festoons to welcome the triumphant return of the troops.

But the man never came back.

The woman tried her best to find out some news from the imperial army, and learned that the man disappeared after a great battle, and his whereabouts are unknown.

This is a common occurrence. After all, the battlefield is chaotic and not all corpses can be found.

Therefore, if there is no accident, the man should be killed in battle.

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, the heart of the woman who heard the bad news was broken.

After that, she still worked in the palace during the day, and at night she would go to the small lake to silently wait for her sweetheart, hoping that the latter would suddenly appear in front of her one day.

The woman waited for many years, and her deeds naturally spread slowly.

Therefore, the small lake also has a name, named "Acacia".

"Grumpy"

The night was as cold as ice, and the moonlight spread over the galloping carriage, shining white and silver.

While driving, Zhang San told Wei Changtian in the car this unreal story.

The latter glanced at Li Zimu who was sitting opposite, and suddenly asked:

"Has she waited?"

"what?"

Zhang San's voice drifted in from the gap in the car curtain, as if he was a little puzzled: "Master, are you talking to me?"

"Correct."

Wei Changtian slightly raised the volume, and repeated: "I just asked that court lady if she finally waited until her sweetheart came back?"

"It is said that there is no."

Zhang San quickly replied: "It is said that she has been waiting for eight years, but after leaving the palace at the age of 25, she was unable to enter and leave Xiangsi Lake, so no one saw her again."

"As for whether she married someone after that, or remained unmarried for the rest of her life, that's all unknown."

"Um"

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian stopped talking, and Li Zimu, who was sitting opposite him, didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, with his head buried very low.

There is no doubt that the story of the court lady has nothing in common with Li Zimu's story.

But it seems to be somewhat similar.

In short, Li Zimu's mood at the moment is obviously very restless, and he doesn't know whether it is because of this story or because he is about to meet Chu Xianping again.

Just like that, the car fell into silence, only the sound of wheels running over the road reverberated.

It wasn't until some time later, when the carriage slowed down and stopped, that Zhang San's voice broke the silence.

"Sir, it's here."

The moonlight is heavy, and the vermilion wall stands tall.

Swaggering off the carriage, Wei Changtian saw two men standing outside a side door not far away.

Wei Changtian had met these two people before, they were Kuilong masters who came to Yongding with Chu Xianping, and they were also the two who captured Gongsunyan alive that day.

The realms are all second-rank, but I don't know if I have practiced the moon-raising sword.

Ok?

By the way, Chu Xianping should have mastered Kuilong's Bingyi rudder by now.
