"They're here too?"
His eyes suddenly widened, and it was obvious that Su Qi was very surprised by this.
In his opinion, since Wei Changtian has found these four people through unknown means, there are only two endings for the latter.
Either he was killed by Wei Changtian.
Either he turned to Wei Changtian.
No matter what the possibility is, they shouldn't be here now.
That's why Su Qi was so surprised.
"Let's go and have a look."
After pondering for a moment, he slowly stood up, seemingly intending to test the four of them before talking.
After walking out of the study, he walked along the corridor for almost as long as a stick of incense and walked into the meeting hall.
Soon, Su Qi met four people from the Jiuzhen Sect.
"Elder Liu."
After glancing at the old man in yellow who was sitting on a chair, and then scanning around the other people in the room, Su Qi said slowly:
"Take a step to speak."
"..."
Shaking his sleeves, the old man in yellow, who had expected this for a long time, said nothing. He stood up and followed Su Qi around a screen and entered a secret room behind the meeting hall.
"Elder Liu, I heard that Wei Changtian found you this morning?"
Looking directly at the old man in yellow, Su Qi said straight to the point without saying any nonsense, "It seems that you have not fought."
"Yes, we didn't fight."
The old man in yellow replied with a normal expression: "Otherwise, we wouldn't be here."
"Really? But you still wanted to kill him yesterday. Now that he has found your hiding place, why would he let you go?"
Su Qi narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "Elder Liu, there must be a reason for this."
"reason......"
The old man in yellow did not answer the question directly, but sneered: "Haha, Mr. Su seems not to want to see us alive."
"That's wrong. Naturally, I don't want anything to happen to the four of you."
Su Qi stared tit-for-tat at the old man in yellow: "But the premise is that the four of you are still Daqian people."
"Oh, I understand. It turns out that Mr. Su is suspecting that we have betrayed Wei Changtian."
The old man in yellow showed a "suddenly enlightened" expression, as if he just understood what Su Qi wanted to say.
It's just that his appearance is not an "afterthought" in Su Qi's view, but more like a provocation...
"Don't worry, Mr. Su, Wei Changtian just wants to know who wants to kill him."
Ignoring Su Qi's increasingly cold eyes, the old man in yellow continued by himself:
"He wanted to make a deal with us, but how could we listen to his sweet words, so naturally he didn't say a word."
"As for why we didn't fight..."
"Master Su, Wei Changtian is very powerful, but he is not sure of winning against the four of us, so he can only leave in anger."
"What? Is this weird?"
"..."
Soon, the old man in yellow gave an explanation for what happened this morning.
But even an ordinary village woman would not believe this explanation, let alone Su Qi.
Will Wei Changtian be unable to defeat the four of you?
Yesterday ten of you couldn't do anything to Wei Changtian, and today there are only four of you, but he can't do anything to you?
Besides, since Wei Changtian has come to visit him, how could he be willing to return without success?
Obviously, faced with such a flawed statement, it would be strange if Su Qi really believed it.
More importantly, the attitude of the old man in yellow also has another meaning.
I knew no one would believe it, but I said it anyway, without even bothering to make up a more reasonable explanation.
This undoubtedly means that Wei Changtian does not take him seriously at all, as if to say——
Even if I tell you clearly that these four people have rebelled, what can you do to them?
"good very good......"
Unbearable anger surged into his heart, and the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly.
Su Qi stared at the calm old man in yellow, and after a long while, he finally said word by word:
"Elder Liu, please come back."
"Return?"
The old man in yellow sneered, "Mr. Su, didn't you invite us here to discuss the plan to kill the thief? Why do you want us to go back now?"
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked my lord yet, who is this thief?"
"...I won't bother you with this matter."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Su Qi said the last word and walked out of the secret room without looking back.
"Elder Liu, I hope you won't regret it in the future."
"..."
...
"Sir, my wife just sent another message, saying that she and Mr. Xu have returned with a hundred thousand monsters!"
On the other side, Guanyue Inn.
While Su Qi was "incompetently furious", Wei Changtian received another message from Yang Liushi.
Just this morning, she, Xu Quan, and the demon king who was suspected to have been conquered by Xu Quan's personality charm had left Changliu Mountain with one hundred thousand demon soldiers and headed straight for Linchuan City.
The distance between the two places is not too far, and it can be reached in about two and a half days.
By that time, Wei Changtian's plan to subvert the imperial power of Daqian was one-third completed.
"Okay, I get it."
After listening to Zhang San's report, Wei Changtian said casually: "Tell them there is no need to be secretive along the way. The bigger the battle, the better."
"yes."
Zhang San responded, stepped aside and immediately sent the message.
Li Zimu asked softly at this time:
"Sir, are those four people really reliable?"
"Also, if Su Qi refuses to rebel in the end, what will we do?"
"...They don't dare not do what I say for the time being, but it won't matter in the future."
Thinking that Kui Long also had the Puppet Pill, Wei Changtian didn't say anything.
After answering the first question, he thought for a moment and then continued:
"Su Qi will definitely rebel."
"Jing Guoqing is a coward, and he is almost at the end of his rope now."
"When the beast tide arrives, I don't believe he can come up with anything else."
"It's up to him not to resist when the time comes."
"But after all, this is something that will carry a lifetime of infamy."
Li Zimu was still a little worried: "A person as clear as Su Qi should value his reputation more than his life."
"Hahaha, you are wrong about this."
After laughing twice, Wei Changtian's tone was quite playful.
"Only those who fail in rebellion are sinners and will be infamy for eternity."
"But if he succeeds, he will be the first emperor of the country. Where will the reputation come from?"
"...Slave understands."
After being stunned for a moment, Li Zimu thought about it carefully and found that what Wei Changtian said was indeed reasonable, so he stopped worrying and continued to look at the art of war in his hands.
After a while of conversation, the room became quiet again, and there were only a few noises on the street outside the window, even less than the harsh chirping of cicadas.
On a hot summer day, when the situation was turbulent, Linchuan City seemed to have lost its former vitality, and everything became listless.
Several hawkers selling goods along the street walked past the door of the inn and shouted weakly a few times.
An old beggar staggered past them and looked up at the only open window on the second floor of the inn.
Then, he casually took out something from his arms and threw it upward...
"Hehe~"
"Wei Changtian, this is my greeting gift."
