I'm the villain in the book

"It's Minister of War, Xiang Shiyuan."

"..."

The corner of Wei Changtian's mouth moved slightly, and he calmly waved his hands.

"Understood, you go back first."

"Yes."

Chu Xianping came and went in a hurry, and after saluting the two of them again, he followed Xu Chengwen out of the tea room.

Wei Yanyu didn't know what he said to Wei Changtian, but she was a little confused about what was so urgent.

Wei Changtian, on the other hand, looked at the re-closed door, knowing in his heart that from this moment on, the initiative of this negotiation was already in his hands.

"Ma'am, you just said that the Xu family would rather die than live..."

After pondering for a while, Wei Changtian finally said slowly, "I don't think so."

"Young Master Wei, what do you mean by that?"

The sudden change in Wei Changtian's attitude made Wei Yanyu realize something in an instant: "Please speak more clearly."

"Madam will understand after listening to me."

Wei Changtian shrugged his shoulders, and said in a relaxed tone, "There was one missing person in the capital this morning, and it was the Minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Xiang Shiyuan."

"Xiang Shiyuan..."

Wei Yanyu's pupils shrank uncontrollably, and she clenched her palms slightly: "I don't know what the young master is doing with this."

"Of course you don't know, ma'am."

Wei Changtian smiled, and continued talking on his own.

"However, as far as I know, the reason Mr. Xiang failed to go to court is because the emperor found out that he was a spy."

"And as for why the emperor was able to find out about this matter, it was because Mr. Xiang just learned of a piece of information last night, and he couldn't wait to send it out, but he never thought it was a trap set by the emperor."

"lady......"

Wei Changtian suddenly leaned forward to close the distance with Wei Yanyu, and said softly, "But the emperor didn't find out about me, so I know this information."

"Young Master Wei, you..."

Wei Yanyu looked at Wei Changtian who was close at hand, and subconsciously wanted to say something.

However, when she opened her mouth, Wei Changtian directly interrupted:

"Madam, I think you should know how important this piece of information Mr. Xiang failed to send out."

"You can think about the price you can pay for it."

"But I suggest you don't think too long..."

"Because there is really not much time left for the Xu family."

Chapter 236

An hour later.

Under Wei Yanyu's complicated eyes, Wei Changtian got up and walked out of the tea room, and left Xu Mansion together with Chu Xianping who had been waiting outside.

After sending the two away, Xu Chengwen turned back to the tea room, looked at Wei Yanyu who was still sitting there motionless, and asked softly:

"Mother, how are you talking with Mr. Wei?"

"..."

Wei Yanyu didn't speak, but shook her head lightly.

Xu Chengwen hesitated for a moment, and persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, it's too whimsical for the Wei family to want a white wolf with nothing."

"However, the imperial court is still standing still, and this matter can still be discussed in the long run."

"In the long run... well, that's the only way to go."

Wei Yanyu sighed softly, got up and walked in front of Xu Chengwen, and stretched out her hand to straighten the skirt of Xu Chengwen's clothes.

"Chengwen, just now, Cainiang was wondering...whether I did something wrong before."

"Wrong?"

Xu Chengwen was taken aback: "Mother, what do you mean?"

"..."

Wei Yanyu paused, then said softly:

"You are about the same age as Wei Changtian. It is said that he is violent and ignorant, and everyone says that you are both civil and military and intelligent."

"But now Wei Changtian can represent the Wei family to talk to me about important matters that determine the life and death of the two families. I think his words in the Wei family are no less important than Wei Xianzhi."

"And you..."

"Chengwen, maybe after your father dies, I should hand over the Xu family to you."

"Tell me, did mother do something wrong?"

"..."

The sandalwood in the corner has been burned out, leaving only a small pile of white ash in the incense burner.

Xu Chengwen didn't expect Wei Yanyu to mention this matter suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head and replied:

"Mother, the child knows that there are many deficiencies, and he knows that it will be difficult for him to take care of the Xu family's affairs."

"No, but the boy will redouble his efforts in the future, just to relieve mother's worries as soon as possible!"

Bow your head and bow your head, trembling.

Xu Chengwen's expression was a little panicked, not quite like a son's attitude towards his mother.

Although this should have the influence of the strict concept of seniority and inferiority in the old society.

But it is also inseparable from Wei Yanyu's strong character.

"Chengwen, mother is waiting for that day."

Wei Yanyu took a deep look at Xu Chengwen, and sighed softly with deep meaning:

"Oh, I hope you won't let mother down..."

......

Ruyi Inn.

It was already noon when Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping came back.

Different from what Wei Yanyu said to Xu Chengwen, when Chu Xianping asked "how was the talk", Wei Changtian gave an affirmative answer.

"It's basically settled, but Mrs. Wei will not fulfill her promise until the information is verified."

"Um......"

Chu Xianping nodded: "It seems that we have to stay in Jizhou City for a while longer."

"It's okay to stay, but I'm afraid that when the imperial army surrounds the city, we won't be able to leave."

Wei Changtian was a little distressed: "It will be troublesome if you are trapped in the city."

"My lord, you don't have to worry too much about this."

Chu Xianping shook his head indifferently: "We are not many in number, and with Master Qin around, it is easy to leave."

"That's fine, as long as you can go whenever you want."

Wei Changtian responded casually, and opened the curtain to get out of the car.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered another thing.

"Brother Chu, Youjia and I met an old man with a chess stand on the street yesterday afternoon..."

......

In the north of Jizhou City, Luoguo Lane.

Luoguo Lane is an alley, not too far from the market where Wei Changtian met the old man yesterday, and there are about a dozen families living in it.

Carrying a roast chicken, some side dishes, and a pot of shochu, Wei Changtian knocked heavily on a dilapidated room door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

I knocked several times in a row, but no one answered the door.

Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at Old Liu next to him, and was about to scold the old man for letting him go, when the door was suddenly pushed open a small gap.

"Well......"

Big black eyes, two small braids.

A little girl about the same age as Wei Qiaoling and Ah Chun showed half of her head, and asked timidly, "You, who are you looking for?"

Ok?

This old man actually hides his beauty in a golden house, no, a loli in a dilapidated house? !

"Little girl, I'm looking for an old man who runs a chess stall, does he live here?"

"Oh, he's my grandfather."

Little Lolita was also innocent, upon hearing this, she immediately opened the door and let Wei Changtian into the courtyard.

"Suck it~"

She stared at the roast chicken in Wei Changtian's hand and sucked her saliva, and it took a long while before she came back to her senses, and said in an embarrassed whisper:

"Big brother, my grandpa is sleeping..."

"sleep?"

Of course Wei Changtian didn't have time to wait for the old man to get up, and immediately ordered: "Take me there, I'll wake him up!"

"what?"

Little Lolita opened her mouth to say something, but at this moment, an old and obscene voice suddenly sounded from the broken room behind the two of them.

"No, the old man is already awake."

"Agou, bring this young man in."

A dog?

Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the little Lolita who was looking eagerly at the roast chicken in his hand.

"Your name is Dog?"

"Uh-huh!"

"..."

......

A quarter of an hour later.

"Hahahahaha~"

An old man and a young man were sitting cross-legged on the kang, eating roast chicken, while Wei Changtian was sitting on the broken chair with one leg missing beside him, dumbfounded.

Good guy, look at the hungry children!

"Old man, how can you name the junior like this?"

With Erlang's legs crossed, Wei Changtian defended little Lolita: "Agou, this is too ugly."

"You do not understand."

The old man took a sip of wine and said casually: "This old man picked her up on the side of the road a few years ago. This kind of doll needs to have a cheap name to be easy to support."

"That person is a girl anyway, even if she's called Amao, it would be nicer." Wei Changtian curled his lips.

I don't know why, although he has only met this old man twice, and he doesn't even know the other person's last name, but he speaks freely.

And the old man is also very familiar, he glanced back at Wei Changtian, and then asked the little loli with a smile: "Agou, how about changing your name to Amao?"
