When Wei Changtian learned from Wei Yanyu that the traitor turned out to be Xu Chengwen, half an hour had passed since the court retreated.
Wei Changtian didn't know how to comfort Wei Yanyu, and he didn't prepare to comfort her at all.
I am sorry for your loss?
Good kill?
Mr. Xu also has his own difficulties?
None of it seems appropriate.
"Mrs. Wei, now you know whether what I said before is true or false..."
After a moment of silence, Wei Changtian got to the point directly: "Is it time to fulfill what Madam promised?"
"It's natural."
Wei Yanyu nodded. The left arm that had been burned by the fire had been bandaged. It was estimated that it would be nothing serious.
"Within ten days, evidence of the Liu family's conspiracy to conspire against each other will be delivered to Ning Yongnian. Whether Ning Yongnian believes it or not...that depends on the master's ability."
"And this knife..."
As he spoke, Wei Yanyu waved behind him, and soon someone handed him a knife box.
There are three long knives inserted in the knife case, with only the handles exposed.
Wei Changtian's eyes lit up and he took the knife box from Wei Yanyu.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Young master, there is no need to thank you."
Wei Yanyu shook her head and said calmly: "My Xu family has been doing business for hundreds of years, and we know best how to keep our word."
"good."
Wei Changtian did not draw his sword, nor was he polite anymore, he just put the sword case aside gently.
"Madam, since the imperial court has temporarily withdrawn its troops, I will return to Shuzhou tomorrow."
"It's a great honor for me to get to know my wife this time. I hope I can have the opportunity to meet my wife again in the future."
"..."
See you later.
This sentence can be understood as wishing the Xu family an early victory over the imperial court, or it can also be understood that the Wei family still leaves a way out for the Xu family——
If you really can't defeat me, you can still escape to Shuzhou.
"Thanks to the Lord's promotion, I don't dare to be a concubine."
With a polite reciprocation, Wei Yanyu paused, then looked at Wei Changtian and said seriously:
"Master Wei, please forgive me for speaking recklessly."
"Now our Xu family has become a rebel. If the Liu family falls again, then there will only be one Wei left under the surname Ning."
"Ning Yongnian is now dragged down by the situation in the northwest, and he really can't be distracted too much."
"But what about the future?"
"I'm afraid that sooner or later, the imperial court will take action against the Wei family."
"So... Master, are you really not considering taking this opportunity to strike first?"
"By joining forces, our two families can occupy at least half of Daning, even if they cannot enter the capital and proclaim themselves emperor. By then..."
"lady."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian interrupted: "No need to say any more."
"..."
Wei Yanyu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile: "That's all, I won't persuade you anymore. I just hope that the young master will consider it."
"Yeah, I will."
Wei Changtian replied calmly, holding the knife case and standing up.
"Madam, I believe you still have many things to take care of, so I won't disturb you further."
"Farewell."
"good......"
Wei Yanyu stood up and bowed.
"Mr. Wei, see you later."
"..."
After two brief farewells, Wei Changtian turned around and walked out of the tea room, left the Xu Mansion with Qin Zhengqiu who was waiting outside, and took a carriage back to Ruyi Inn.
He didn't know if he would see Wei Yanyu again in the future, but he thought it was unlikely.
Regarding the conflicts between Ning Yongnian and the Xu family, and between Daning and Da Feng, Wei Changtian has no intention of participating in them anymore.
Well... at least that's what his subjective will is.
As for whether fate will drag him into this vortex again, that is another matter, and another story for another day.
Anyway, the purpose of this trip to Jizhou has been achieved so far.
And there are unexpected gains.
"Canglanglang~"
Pulling out a long knife from the knife case, Wei Changtian flicked the glistening blade with his fingers and nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't know whether these three knives were the most valuable treasures of the Xu family, but in the original work, this was what Xiao Feng gained after destroying the Xu family.
So when Wei Changtian got the information and took the initiative in the negotiation, he added these three swords as bargaining chips.
And this is also the first time he has obtained a high-grade divine weapon besides the Xuantian Sword.
"Ancient and Modern Notes·Yu Fu": Emperor Wu had three precious swords, one of which was called Bailian, the second was called Qingdu, and the third was called Liuying.
[Hundred Refinements: Sword (Xuan Level), Hundreds of Steels, Hundreds of Refinements, No Damage, 200 Points]
[Qingdu: Sword (Xuan level), the power of lifting a feather is like nine oxen, 200 points]
[Shadow leakage: Knife (Xuan level), invisible, shadowless, soundless and radiant, 200 points]
He happily looked at all three knives and put them all into the star scabbard. The only exposed hilt was the "shadow leak".
This means that Wei Changtian has decided to mainly use the Shadow Blade in the future.
As for why...
It's simple, because the shadow is the best among the three knives.
...
...
The next day.
Wei Changtian and his party left Jizhou City in the early morning.
As Chu Xianping said before, although the imperial army was stationed a dozen miles outside the city, and there were many spies around the city, it was still easy to leave quietly.
They walked through forests and mountains, bypassing the not-so-tight encirclement of the imperial army, and arrived at Shanggu County, about a few hundred miles away from Jizhou City, at dusk.
He did not stop at the county, but bought three carriages and continued on his way to Shuzhou via Yuanzhou.
It was a bit of a detour compared to when we came here, but we will probably return to Shuzhou City in four days.
"Ta-ta! Ta-ta!"
The sound of horse hooves could be heard quickly and clearly, and the sky was completely dark.
The wilderness at the foot of the mountain is blurry and unclear. Dots of residential houses and wisps of cooking smoke are occasionally dotted in the distance, like fishing fires flickering on the sea.
After running for a day, everyone was somewhat tired, so no one cared to appreciate the scenery. At this moment, they all sat with their eyes closed to relax.
And Wei Changtian finally had the time to take out a crumpled ancient book from his arms, with two small characters written on the cover that were already difficult to read -
A trillion days.
It was this sword technique. Before setting off in the morning, Agou came and gave it to him, saying that it was ordered by Lao Zhangtou.
However, Wei Changtian was in a hurry at that time, so he just glanced at it casually, and put it away after finding no relevant information in the system.
After all, if you can't find it in the system, it means that the sword technique is not good and there is no need to practice it at all.
Alas, Lao Zhangtou is too crotch-stretching and doesn’t have any interesting stuff...
Sighing secretly, Wei Changtian opened the sword manual and prepared to take another look.
Anyway, it's just idle time, so it's just a way to relieve boredom.
There is nothing on the first page, just ten words written from top to bottom——
Carrying a moon on one's shoulders, one's body shines brightly in all directions.
Hmm, it’s quite interesting, but I don’t know what it has to do with the word “haori”.
Curling his lips, Wei Changtian was about to continue reading the second page, but his hand turning the book suddenly stopped.
After being stunned for a moment, he brought up the system interface with the intention of giving it a try, and then tried searching for "Moon Picking" in the sword skills column...
