the next day.
Xu Suisui left.
Not dead, but literally "gone."
And she also took Shen Ran away.
Wei Changtian was actually a little helpless about this. After all, he originally planned to rely on Shen Ran to "purchase" the luck of other sons of heaven.
But the latter was willing to leave with Xu Suisui, so he couldn't stop him.
"Son..."
"Miss Xu and Mr. Shen have left the Shu realm and headed north."
Outside the county prison, Chu Xianping asked softly: "Are we still going to send people to keep an eye on them?"
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Changtian shook his head: "No, let them go."
"yes."
Looking at Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping nodded.
Although he didn't know much about Xu Suisui, he could see how complicated Wei Changtian's mood was at the moment.
Chu Xianping understood that Xu Suisui's position in Wei Changtian's heart should be very special, but he just didn't understand why the two turned against each other.
Until Wei Changtian suddenly added calmly.
"By the way, there's no need to continue checking about that note."
Um?
Chu Xianping's eyes widened slightly, and a guess immediately emerged in his mind.
However, he did not ask further questions. He just nodded silently again and ordered to the two jailers behind him:
"Open the cell door."
...
The dark and cramped cell was only a few square meters in size. The dirty floor was covered with the same dirty thatch. There was no bed or windows, and the environment was extremely dirty and harsh.
When the jailer slowly opened the cell door, Wei Changtian even choked on the sour smell that came out of it.
He frowned subconsciously and raised his eyes to look at the man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cell.
This is the second meeting between Wei Changtian and You Wenzong, but their situations have been reversed.
Especially You Wenzong, who went from a third-grade official to a prisoner, and would soon take the blame for Han Zhao, becoming the Wei family's mastermind who was criticized by the people of Daning.
Such a gap is undoubtedly huge, and others might have collapsed long ago.
But You Wenzong is extremely calm now, and even nodded proactively after seeing Wei Changtian.
"Master Wei, we meet again."
"..."
Um?
Do you have such a strong psychological quality?
Wei Changtian murmured in his heart, then stepped into the cell and waved behind him.
"Brother Chu, let me talk to Master You alone."
"Yes, sir."
Chu Xianping bowed slightly and quickly left with the two jailers, leaving only a weak oil lamp behind.
Holding an oil lamp, Wei Changtian didn't mind the dirty thatch on the ground. He just sat down opposite You Wenzong and then responded to what the latter had just said with a smile.
"Yes, Master You, we meet again."
"..."
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
The dim red light fell reluctantly on You Wenzong's pale face. In the half-darkness, he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed twice.
After the coughing, he continued to laugh at himself calmly.
"Master Wei..."
"Although I had doubts several times, I never expected that General Han would actually be your man."
"And the thunder that night... Although I don't know how you did it, I think it requires complicated preparations."
"It seems that you have long planned to end the Shuzhou War at Niutoushan."
"With this kind of strategy, the one who loses is not unjust..."
"..."
It was obvious that You Wenzong had roughly guessed the overall plan for the Battle of Shuzhou.
Valley
If you lose, then admit it. What he said now is undoubtedly very free and easy.
However, Wei Changtian didn't mean "heroes cherish heroes" at all. Instead, he sneered and shook his head.
"Haha, Master You."
"Did you lose unjustly?"
"I think you think too highly of yourself..."
Under You Wenzong's fixed gaze, Wei Changtian continued in a tone full of disdain:
"In the battle of Shuzhou, my opponent is Ning Yongnian, not you."
"The loser is also Ning Yongnian, not you."
"Master You, I have to say something unpleasant."
"A little person like you is not even qualified to play chess with me, so how can we win or lose?"
"..."
You are not even qualified to play chess with me.
The sarcasm and disdain in this sentence could not be greater. It can be said to be a naked humiliation.
It feels quite like the joke from the previous life——
The receiver found the abandoned goddess and said that he could accept everything from her, but in the end he only got the sentence "You are not worthy of raising his child."
This kind of thing is undoubtedly sad.
What's even sadder is that the "goddess" is the one being licked, and there's nothing wrong with saying this.
Because "Party A" never needs to consider the feelings of "Party B".
Just like Wei Changtian at this moment, as a winner and a chess player, he doesn't need to care about the feelings of You Wenzong, the chess piece.
What's more, he was intentionally irritating You Wenzong.
"What? Master You, do you think what I said is wrong?"
Glancing at You Wenzong who said nothing, Wei Changtian chuckled and said:
"But I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
"You are just a third-grade minister of the Ministry of War. You can't even stand in the first row when you go to court."
"There are many people like you in Daning, so why do you think you can play chess with me?"
"..."
Two heart-wrenching questions in succession made You Wenzong unable to speak for a long time.
Strictly speaking, a third-grade Minister of War is already considered a high-ranking official, and those who can achieve this position are by no means just ordinary people.
So now that You Wenzong was said to be so worthless by Wei Changtian, it was impossible not to be angry in his heart.
But he couldn't argue.
After all, compared with Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian, he is indeed just a little person who cannot stand on the stage.
but......
"Master Wei."
"If you are here today just to ridicule me, then I have nothing to say."
After a long moment of silence, You Wenzong suddenly raised his head slowly, looked at Wei Changtian and said word by word:
"But I think the young master doesn't just want to say this."
"..."
"It's natural."
The sarcasm faded away, and Wei Changtian's expression finally turned serious.
If You Wenzong's reaction just now was that of embarrassment and anger, then he might not say anything next, and he would probably kill the former directly.
It was precisely because You Wenzong remained calm enough despite being humiliated in this way that he made up his mind to "acquire this person for his own use".
"Master You, I think you have already guessed it, so I won't talk nonsense."
"Under Ning Yongnian, the most you can do in your life is to be the Minister of the Ministry of War."
"But with me, you can become the prime minister of Shu immediately."
"Yes, our country of Shu now only has one state."
"But now that the imperial army has been defeated, you must also know what the situation in Daning will be like in the future."
"I sincerely want to invite you to achieve great things together, but I don't know if you are willing..."
Breaking off a piece of thatch, Wei Changtian casually said the last words while playing with the wick of the oil lamp.
"Are you willing to get rid of the body of a chess piece and become a true chess player?"
