The day after Yang Liushi, Xu Quan, and the "Beautiful Demon King" left Changliu Mountain with one hundred thousand demon beasts, news of the approaching beast tide finally reached Su Qi's ears.
For the current situation in Linchuan City, such bad news will undoubtedly make things worse.
Yesterday morning, Wei Changtian "made a big fuss" in the government office, killed four people and took two away, directly strangling the "Anti-Wei Alliance" in the cradle.
After seeing Wei Changtian's methods with their own eyes, most of the forces in Daqian did not dare to act rashly anymore, and all wanted to wait and see.
But they can wait, but Su Qi can't wait any longer.
The original "ten-day period" was changed to "five-day period" by Wei Changtian yesterday.
According to Wei Changtian's original words, if he could not see Jing Guoqing within five days, he would massacre the entire Linchuan City.
Now two of the five days have passed, and there are only three days left.
In three days, even if Jing Guoqing left the capital immediately, he would not be able to reach Linchuan.
What's more, Su Qi couldn't find any reason to "cheat" Jing Guoqing into coming.
So, now he seems to have only one last option left.
That is to rebel against Wei Changtian in order to save the lives of the people in Linchuan City.
The powerful enemy is pressing forward step by step, leaving you alone and helpless.
Su Qi had no other way to go.
But even if this is the only way out, it is still difficult to take this step.
After all, this is treason and treason. This is the behavior he once despised as a Qingliu.
And until half an hour ago, Su Qi still had a trace of expectation in his heart.
He reported everything truthfully to Jing Guoqing, hoping that the latter could step forward and turn the tide.
But just now, Jing Guoqing's reply completely extinguished this last hope.
[I will mobilize experts to go to Linchuan, but we can't arrive within three days, so you need to delay for a little longer. 】
Assemble experts
Su Qi was not stupid. When he received this secret letter, he knew that Jing Guoqing had given up on Linchuan.
After all, if enough masters can be mobilized to fight against Wei Changtian, it will be much easier to defend the capital than to defend Linchuan.
In fact, from Jing Guoqing's perspective, this choice is understandable.
Even the massacre of Linchuan City was a good thing for the Jing family.
Because in this way the hatred for Wei Changtian in Daqian will reach its peak, and Jing Guoqing can also use such public anger to keep his throne.
But Su Qi was not Jing Guoqing. No matter how much he "empathized", he couldn't just watch the people under his rule fall victim to this chaos.
And just when this hope was shattered, when he was struggling repeatedly with the decision of "to rebel or not to rebel", Wei Changtian "timely" sent the last straw that broke the camel's back——
Beast tide.
Changliu Mountain, which had been peaceful all this time, suddenly erupted into a tide of beasts, heading straight for Linchuan City with a clear goal.
Su Qi didn't know that this was Wei Changtian's handiwork.
In his opinion, this undoubtedly represented Wei Changtian's determination and ability to massacre the city.
The beast tide is coming, and if you want to resist it, you must use the army.
Although Linchuan City's city defense troops are large in number, they may not be able to stop these ferocious beasts.
Unless the 200,000 cadres surrendering troops outside the city also join the battle.
It's just that these surrendered troops are nominally Daqian soldiers, but in fact they are controlled by the Tengu Army. If he wants to "borrow troops", Su Qi can only ask Wei Changtian.
And this means that he must rebel first.
Rebellion, borrowing troops, repelling the beast tide, raising troops to rebel
Only now did Su Qi realize that everything had been planned. Even Wei Changtian had prepared his "chips" for rebellion, namely the 200,000 surrendered troops.
Su Qi always felt that he had a choice, but now he realized that every move he made was always within Wei Changtian's plan.
Even for him, it was a good result to be able to complete the scene according to the "script".
What if Wei Changtian no longer needs him and lets the beast tide attack the city?
Standing up slowly, Su Qi's temples had a few wisps of white hair.
He slowly walked out of the room, and the golden morning sun fell on him. Even the flaming red morning glow seemed to become lonely.
Su Qi finally made up his mind, but he was destined not to see Wei Changtian today.
Because when he went to Guanyue Inn, the latter had already arrived at Yun'an Temple and was marveling at the huge plaque.
Even though this Yun'an Temple is not a big temple, the temple plaque is exceptionally grand, at least much larger than all the temples Wei Changtian has visited before.
And if nothing else happens, this should be the place where the old beggar settled.
Of course, this is just Wei Changtian's guess.
Although the "signal" of thousands of miles of smoke disappeared here, it might just be a coincidence.
However, Wei Changtian still felt that people would subconsciously go to places they are familiar with in times of crisis, so he still came here.
It’s worth trying after all.
"."
I looked around and found that it was still early and there were not many pilgrims here. There were a few young monks sweeping the floor in the temple.
Because Wei Changtian had made a simple appearance when he came, he was not afraid that someone would recognize him easily. He walked straight into the temple and asked a young monk casually.
"Little Master, I wonder if your abbot is in the temple now?"
"Ah, this benefactor, what do you have to do with our abbot?"
The young monk raised his head and replied with some uncertainty: "I don't know if he is there, I have to ask to find out."
"oh."
Wei Changtian nodded and made it up casually: "My surname is Xiao. I made a fortune recently. I felt uneasy, so I thought about donating some incense money to Yun'an Temple."
"Not much, just two or three thousand taels."
"W-what?"
Hearing Wei Changtian's words, the young monk's eyes widened instantly, and the broom in his hand fell to the ground with a "clack".
Obviously, for a young monk like him who has never seen much of the world, two or three thousand taels is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
And if such a distinguished guest wants to see the abbot, there is no problem at all.
"S-Donor, wait a moment, I'm going to ask the abbot if he is here!"
"Well, please excuse me, little master."
"."
Soon, the little monk ran away in a hurry, even forgetting to take the broom on the ground.
Wei Changtian watched his back running away, turned his head and carefully observed the layout of Yun'an Temple.
It's not much different from an ordinary temple. The position I'm standing on now is the Tianwang Hall closest to the temple gate after entering the temple.
The Hall of Heavenly Kings is dedicated to the four heavenly kings: the Eastern King of Control, the Southern King of Growth, the Western King of Guangmu, and the Northern King of Duowen.
To put it simply, they are four fierce-looking Buddhas.
It looks quite similar to the old beggar’s red evil Buddha last night.
Pouting his lips, Wei Changtian estimated that it would be a while before the young monk came back, so he strolled into the Heavenly King's Hall.
And the moment he stepped through the palace door, the Buddha eyes of the four heavenly king statues actually moved at the same time.
