"W-what?!"
Hearing that this man turned out to be the mysterious swordsman who might have been sixty years ago, Li Wutong could no longer hide the surprise on his face.
"Mr. Wei, are you telling the truth?!"
"Why did I lie to you?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "But this matter is just my guess at the moment. Everything needs to be clarified after he comes."
"okay, I get it!"
Li Wutong's breathing became more and more rapid, and he even forgot to call himself "I".
But she soon noticed something was wrong.
"Mr. Wei, that swordsman's skill is unparalleled in the world, but you said he might be in danger..."
Li Wutong said suspiciously: "But I don't know how dangerous it is?"
"Well...he is now unparalleled in the world. He is probably not as powerful as one of your bodyguards, the princess."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "It's a long story. I will tell you again when I have the chance."
"..."
There will be no chance in the future.
Of course Li Wutong understood the meaning of Wei Changtian's words, so the dissatisfaction in his heart came up again.
snort! As if anyone wants to listen!
"Master Wei, if you don't want to talk, just don't talk. I don't want to know either."
The indifferent expression returned to his face, he gathered up his skirt and sat down on the chair.
Li Wutong stood up for a while, then looked sideways at Wei Changtian and asked again:
"But since Mr. Wei knows such things, he must be very familiar with the swordsman."
"Well, it's not bad..."
Recalling the bad old man who always smelled of alcohol and cheated all day long by playing backgammon, Wei Changtian suddenly rolled his eyes and changed his words:
"We don't know each other well at all."
"Is it?"
Li Wutong was stunned and finally found the opportunity to ridicule Wei Changtian.
"I think so too."
"As the saying goes, a qiji cannot be with a donkey, and a phoenix cannot be with a sparrow."
"No matter what the swordsman is now, he was an unrivaled master before, and he was also an unparalleled hero with the world in mind."
"This kind of dragon among men will definitely not hang out with people like you, Mr. Wei."
"Mr. Wei, I am outspoken and I hope you will forgive me."
"..."
Good guy, you really can't bear any loss.
Wei Changtian knew that Li Wutong was still resenting his unfeeling towards her, but after all, what happened yesterday was that he had indeed "hurt" someone, so for the first time, he did not fight back, but just smiled and stopped talking.
As we all know, it is the most annoying to encounter people who do not retaliate when they are in a quarrel.
Like a punch on cotton, Li Wutong felt even more unhappy when he saw Wei Changtian ignoring him.
"Mr. Wei, you..."
She quickly organized her words and prepared to launch a second wave of attacks immediately.
But just as he started to say these words, an imperial doctor hurriedly walked out of the room next to him.
"Mr. Wei, Your Highness the Princess."
"Master Pei is awake!"
...
Although Pei Dajun woke up, it didn't mean that he was fine.
On the contrary, according to the imperial doctor, he has at most half a quarter of an hour to live. The reason why he can open his eyes and speak now is entirely due to the return of light under the effect of the medicine.
Of course, Wei Changtian has a system and can naturally save him.
But who would be out of their minds to save the enemy's life?
"Master Pei, tell me, how did you contact Yama?"
Squinting his eyes slightly, Wei Changtian's tone was extremely cold: "If you are willing to tell the truth, I will give you a good time later."
"If you don't tell me, I don't mind letting you taste what it's like to be unable to die before you die."
"You won't survive anyway, so there's no need to work for Yama anymore."
"..."
Time is tight and there are many questions to ask.
Wei Changtian didn't have time to talk about what was there and what wasn't, so he went straight to the topic as soon as he got up.
But who knew that Pei Dajun's reaction was far beyond his expectation.
"Who are you?"
"Yam Luo...why can I contact Yama?"
"???"
What's happening here?
Amnesia?
Or just pretending?
Seeing Pei Dajun's behavior, Wei Changtian couldn't help but be stunned.
He had expected that Pei Dajun would remain silent, but he didn't expect that this would happen.
"Master Pei! You are already on the verge of death, what's the point of acting like this?!"
His tone suddenly worsened, and Wei Changtian shouted in a deep voice: "I advise you not to do these useless things, and quickly tell everything you know about Yama. Maybe you can also save the reputation of your Pei family!"
"Yam, Yama Luo..."
Looking at the "ferocious" Wei Changtian, Pei Dajun's breathing became more rapid and his expression became more painful.
"I, I don't know, I really don't know..."
"I, I just seemed to have a dream, a nightmare that I can't wake up from..."
Nightmare?
Wei Changtian was stunned and suddenly thought of something.
"What did you dream about?"
"..."
This question seemed to hit a certain nerve in Pei Dajun. His eyes suddenly widened and his voice suddenly became extremely frightened.
"Dead people! They are all dead people killed by me!!"
"They surrounded me and kept asking me why I wanted to kill them!!"
"He, they cry in front of me and laugh in front of me!!"
"I want to run away, but I can't move...ah!!!"
The screams filled with fear were so piercing that Pei Dajun's body trembled crazily, and the bandaged wounds began to ooze blood again.
And Wei Changtian finally believed that he was not faking it now.
It seems that Pei Dajun did not break away from the inner demon illusion like himself, but has been trapped in it until now.
"well......"
Looking at the man's crazy appearance, Wei Changtian sighed in his heart.
To be able to sit in the second-in-command position of the watchman, Pei Dajun was definitely the kind of person who could remain calm despite the collapse of the mountain and had extremely strong psychological endurance.
But such a man has been tortured by his inner demons to his current situation. You can only imagine what he went through in the illusion.
Wei Changtian understood that Pei Dajun probably knew nothing now, so after thinking for a moment, he asked the only question that might get an answer.
"Master Pei!"
"Tell me what happened before you had this dream?!"
"..."
"Before..."
Pei Dajun's body slowly stopped shaking, and his voice changed from crazy to calm.
This was not because he had calmed down, but because he was very, very close to death.
Although Pei Dajun does not recognize Wei Changtian now, he still instinctively thought about this issue at the last moment of his life because he had basically lost the ability to think independently.
What happened before the nightmare came?
"I, I saw..."
"There is, someone..."
The chaotic thoughts in his brain have almost stopped. No matter how Pei Dajun recalls it, the blurry picture is always difficult to see.
"Is it Bai Youheng?!"
At this time, Wei Changtian suddenly reminded him.
Bai Youheng......
"boom!"
When this name rang in my ears, the last scene before falling into a nightmare finally became clear for a moment.
"Yes, it's Bai Youheng!"
Pei Dajun's pupils suddenly became the size of peas. He opened his mouth wide as if to say something, but his breathless voice was almost gone.
Wei Changtian immediately leaned over and put his ear to Pei Dajun's opening and closing mouth, and finally heard clearly the latter's last words before his death.
But these words made Wei Changtian feel as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar in the twelfth lunar month of winter. It was so cold that he even wondered if he was still trapped in a nightmare created by Yama, and he had not yet woken up.
"Also, there is another person..."
"Yes, he is the emperor of Daning..."
"Ning, Ning Yongnian..."
