Indeed, as Wei Changtian said, although Su Xiu had chosen to hand over Yangliu Shi, there was another thing that he had not done.
That is to say what she did all this for.
"..."
In the distance, thousands of monsters were still crowded at the border of the Dragon Lock Formation, chaotically and confusedly looking for a way out that did not exist.
A little closer, hundreds of monster corpses were lying on the ground, with broken limbs and pieces of flesh.
Even closer, the air in the dilapidated house was almost solid, and several eyes fell on the ragged Su Xiu.
Now, as long as she tells the truth, everything can be over.
Wei Changtian will return to Liangzhou with Yangliu Shi, and Bailingshan will be able to survive.
As for the conflict between Wei Changtian and Yan Huanwen, or the conflict between Daning and Dajue...that will happen later, and the winner will most likely be decided on the battlefield.
so......
Slowly turning his head, Su Xiu looked at Wei Changtian in despair, his eyes dim.
It's like a little beast that has been tortured repeatedly until it finally gives up, or like a poor person who is extremely desperate.
She trembled and lowered her head little by little. Her long hair fell across her white shoulders and fell to the ground. A gust of wind blew by, revealing her face full of tears.
In everyone's surprised eyes, Su Xiu knelt at Wei Changtian's feet.
"Wei, Mr. Wei...please, please go around Bailing Mountain."
"All the faults are mine. If you still don't forgive me, then kill me..."
"If you're afraid of getting your hands dirty, I, I might as well do it myself..."
"I just ask you to let the monsters in Bailing Mountain escape..."
"I just ask you to be noble and let them go..."
"..."
There is no forced compromise, no pretense of hiding anger and old grudges, or even the desolation of enduring humiliation and living in vain.
At this moment, in Su Xiu's intermittent prayers, everyone could only hear one emotion.
That is the most humble plea.
Perhaps in terms of moral conduct, intelligence, courage, ability, etc., she is not a good leader of the demon clan. At least compared to Qingxian, she is more than one and a half stars behind.
But judging from how she is now willing to risk her own life to find a way out for the demons in Bailing Mountain... Su Xiu is considered qualified.
For a moment, everyone's eyes changed slightly when they looked at her.
Especially the only woman on Wei Changtian's side, Zuo Huiyu, showed a hint of unbearable expression.
Only Wei Changtian saw the essence through the phenomenon, and revealed Su Xiu's true purpose with one word.
"So you still refuse to say it, right?"
"..."
Su Xiu didn't raise his head or defend himself. He just knelt on the ground and trembled slightly.
"well."
On the other side, Wei Changtian sighed softly.
"Demon King, you and I have no enmity at all, so I really can't figure out why you are willing to risk your own life."
"In that case..."
Narrowing his eyes, Wei Changtian was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly turned outside the room.
A plain skirt swaying in the wind is the poem of Yangliu.
...
Without any accident, Wei Zhaohai brought Yang Liushi back in less than a hundred breaths, indicating that the latter had been hidden nearby.
Yang Liushi has always been in the secret room, so naturally she doesn't know what is happening outside.
However, she could read some clues from the eyes of the guards guarding her.
And when Wei Zhaohai followed the maid in green to pick her up from the secret room and came here through the chaotic herd of beasts, Yang Liushi finally understood everything.
Tears filled his eyes in an instant, everything around him became blurred, and only the man who was looking at him with a smile remained in his sight.
Running in a pool of blood, the splashed animal blood stained the cloth shoes and the corners of the skirt red.
Yang Liushi ignored everything like purgatory and ran towards Wei Changtian quickly, leaving even her tears behind.
She knew why this purgatory was created.
She knows this is all for herself...
"Ms. sir!!"
A shout echoed in the wind. This was a rare situation in Yangliu Shi calling Wei Changtian "Xiangong".
I saw her running across the small lake and the bluestone path desperately, and suddenly threw herself into Wei Changtian's arms. She tightly grasped the latter's clothes with both hands and never let go.
As for Wei Changtian... he finally let go of the palms he had been holding tightly in his sleeves, smiled and patted Yang Liushi's back gently.
"never mind."
"Just stop running around next time..."
Completely different from his devilish behavior just now, although Wei Changtian's tone was still calm, anyone could hear the tenderness in it.
When this sentence reached Su Xiu's ears, the latter also raised his head in confusion.
She stared at this scene blankly, and finally slowly realized...
It turns out that just now, I was just a little bit close to winning the bet.
"..."
Slowly closing her eyes, Su Xiu's mood at this moment was probably particularly complicated.
But no one cares what she thinks right now.
Especially Yang Liushi. After crying for a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something. She quickly raised her face, her eyes were dim with tears, but she said hurriedly with great seriousness:
"My lord, there is a high official from the Dajue court here on Bailing Mountain!"
"I saw him last night..."
"..."
...
Why did Su Xiu lie and claim that Yang Liushi lived far away.
Why would she pretend to cooperate with him?
Why does she know her name.
Why would she rather die than tell the reason why she did this...
After Yang Liushi told all about what she had found out when she came to Bailing Mountain, and what she had seen with a "Dajue court official" last night, Wei Changtian was finally able to connect all the clues together, and then obtained Made a guess.
And when he saw Su Xiu, whose face was getting paler, he knew that his guess was most likely the truth.
"Ms. sir, that's all..."
In her arms, Yang Liushi knew that Wei Changtian was about to do something serious as soon as he saw Wei Changtian's eyes.
So after she finished speaking, she took the initiative to leave Wei Changtian's arms, wiped the tears from her face, and stood aside.
"Grandpa, take good care of Liu Shi."
He turned around and smiled at Yang Liushi, and gave Wei Zhaohai instructions. When Wei Changtian turned to look at Su Xiu again, his eyes had become cold and piercing.
"Demon King, I finally understand."
"It turns out that someone from Dajue's court happened to be in Bailing Mountain. He recognized me and wanted to kill me, but he was afraid that he would not be able to kill me, so he sent a message back to find reinforcements."
"And your mission is to hold me back until reinforcements arrive..."
"..."
As he spoke, Wei Changtian approached Su Xiu step by step, while the latter moved back little by little with his hands on the ground.
Just being trapped by the Dragon Locking Formation, she was quickly forced into a corner and could no longer move. She could only watch Wei Changtian standing in front of her in fear.
"What? Are you scared?"
"Don't worry, I'm not finished yet."
Looking down at Su Xiu at his feet, Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Demon King, I can make you agree to this condition and not regret it even after knowing that I have brought so many masters..."
"I'm afraid this official is the Yan Huanwen who has a deep hatred against you."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought you just didn't hate him, but I didn't expect you to be so infatuated with him."
"But just because of this, you shouldn't be so harsh."
"After all, after you handed Liu Shi to me, you knew you couldn't keep me anymore, so you might as well tell me to save Bailing Mountain."
"Then, why are you still hiding it until now..."
This last sentence is more of a tease than a question.
Wei Changtian smiled and knelt down, looking straight into Su Xiu's eyes, as if looking at a prey that had fallen into a trap.
But the latter could only tremble and shake her head at this time, as if Wei Changtian would not say the words she was most afraid of.
However, after a few breaths, no matter how hard she struggled, a sentence still came to her ears.
"Yan Huanwen, please stay on Bailing Mountain now."
"..."
"boom!!!"
Like a muffled thunder explosion, when Wei Changtian's light words reached everyone's ears, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Su Xiu's body suddenly stiffened, and then she crawled to Wei Changtian's feet in panic, raised her head and prayed in panic and despair:
"Wei, Mr. Wei, it's all my fault!"
"Please, please let Yan Lang go, please let him go!"
"You can do whatever you want me to do!"
"I, I have some beauty, I can be your maid! Be your slave!"
"W-anything is fine!"
"I just ask you to let Yan Lang go..."
"..."
Just now, Su Xiu was willing to give his own life in exchange for the demons in Bailing Mountain to survive.
Now, she is willing to trade her body and personality for Yan Huanwen's life.
Which one has greater value in comparison, the answer is naturally obvious.
After all, in this world, the slave contract contains the transfer of "right to life."
Therefore, Su Xiu is undoubtedly willing to give up everything for Yan Huanwen.
However, her behavior never aroused the sympathy of Wei Zhaohai and others.
Because when Wei Changtian exposed the conspiracy behind this, Su Xiu and Bai Lingshan completely stood on their opposite sides.
If you sympathize with an enemy who wants to kill you, you are not kind-hearted, but stupid.
"Demon King, what are you talking about?"
With a smile on his lips, Wei Changtian's tone became more playful.
"I don't even know where Yan Huanwen is hiding, so how can I talk about letting him go?"
"Why don't you tell him his hiding place first, and then I'll let him live."
"how?"
"..."
The desperate pleas for mercy stopped abruptly.
Although Su Xiu was desperate, he had not lost his mind. How could he tell where Yan Huanwen was hiding?
She just widened her eyes and kept shaking her head, with a few strands of hair hanging messily on the side of her face, giving her a sickly beauty.
If it were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't be able to bear to say no just by looking at her.
However, Wei Changtian didn't show any sympathy for her. As he slowly stood up, the smile on his face disappeared little by little.
"Demon King, no matter what, you have fulfilled the two conditions I had before."
"So the matter of killing a demon with three breaths ends here."
"..."
After Wei Changtian finished speaking, Li Huaizhong immediately stopped moving and no longer waved his palm to kill the demon.
But his behavior made everyone a little confused.
Now is obviously a good time to continue to exert pressure and force Su Xiu to tell where Yan Huanwen is hiding.
As long as he knows where Yan Huanwen is and kills him before Dajue's reinforcements arrive, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the war in Liangzhou.
But why did Wei Changtian stop at this time?
It shouldn't be.
After all, he didn't show any mercy just now, not to mention that now the two sides have become life-and-death enemies.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became weird. Everyone frowned and looked at Wei Changtian, wondering what he was thinking.
Not only Wei Zhaohai and others couldn't understand, but even Su Xiu was stunned.
Her first reaction was that Wei Changtian decided to let her go, but...
"Demon King, I taught you just now."
"The more someone tries to prove something, the more false it becomes."
"I think you should remember this."
"Now, let me teach you another truth..."
Looking at Su Xiu expressionlessly, Wei Changtian uttered a word.
"If you want to kill someone, you must also be prepared to be killed."
"..."
For a moment, Su Xiu's eyes became sad, but at the same time he was a little relieved.
She knew she would die.
But it would be better to die. At least he no longer has to suffer such torture that life is worse than death, and he doesn't have to worry about telling Yan Huanwen's hiding place.
Therefore, when Su Xiu slowly closed his eyes and prepared to face death, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.
However, just like before, she still thought Wei Changtian's methods were too simple.
"Demon King, you don't have to look like you're dying."
"Don't worry, I won't let you die before you tell where Yan Huanwen is hiding."
"As for what I just said about being killed..."
Smiling, Wei Changtian turned to look at Wei Zhaohai and the others, his voice clear.
"Grandpa, you go to Dongshan."
"Sect Leader Zuo, you go to Nanshan."
"Master Yu, you go to Xishan."
"Eunuch Li, go to Beishan."
"I'll give you two hours..."
"Slaughtered Bailing Mountain."
