I'm the villain in the book

"..."

Li Wutong's hand holding the bowl suddenly shook.

Wei Changtian glanced at her and didn't speak, but A Gou asked very curiously at this moment: "Brother, have you asked for a wife yet?"

"Please." Wei Changtian nodded.

"ah!"

Agou excitedly asked: "How much did you ask for?"

"Um......"

Several faces appeared in Wei Changtian's mind.

Lu Jingyao, Xu Qingwan, Yang Liushi, if not counting Qiuyun and Yuan'er...

"Three."

"Wow! Senior brother, you have managed to get so many daughter-in-laws!"

When Agou heard it, he immediately admired it: "It's amazing!"

"Hey, those who can do more work."

Wei Changtian waved his hand and made another joke casually. Although Agou couldn't understand, the old Zhangtou and Li Wutong next to him understood the meaning.

In an instant, the expressions of both of them became very ugly.

Especially Li Wutong, who was so angry that he accidentally choked on the porridge.

"cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Huh? Princess, are you okay?"

Wei Changtian looked at Li Wutong's slightly flushed face, and joked: "Eat well, don't think about messy things."

"you!"

Li Wutong suppressed the discomfort in his throat, struggled with his eyes wide open:

"Ben, I don't care about you!!!"

......

After half an hour.

The "satisfied" people boarded the carriage and planned to go to Yizhuang in Xiyang Mansion first, bring Wang Qian's ashes with them, and then return directly to Fengyuan.

"Princess."

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a guard asked respectfully, "Can we set off now?"

"You ask him!"

Li Wutong turned his head angrily and stopped talking, and the guards also turned their eyes to Wei Changtian as usual.

"Young Master Wei..."

"What time is it?"

"Master Hui, it's just past Chen's hour."

"it is good."

Nodding his head, he glanced into the distance again.

Just as Wei Changtian was about to give the order to set off, there was a faint sound of horseshoes in his ears.

This is......

Narrowing his eyes, looking at the sudden dust at the end of his line of sight, he temporarily held back the second half of the sentence.

Soon, dozens of cavalry officers reined in their horses and stopped not far away, and the leader was the young horse bandit from yesterday.

"Call!!"

He got off his horse, walked to the carriage in two steps, then knelt down on one knee without hesitation, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Wei, it's a good luck that the villain lives up to his fate!"

Ok?

Did they really find out the whereabouts of those assassins?

Wei Changtian was taken aback, and slowly lifted the small curtain on the car window, just about to speak.

But at the next moment, his pupils suddenly dilated slightly.

"thump!"

"Plop plop!"

I saw more than a dozen strong and strong men who were tied up were escorted to the carriage by the officials, and then all of them were forcibly held down by their necks and knelt on the ground.

One night's work only took fifty people.

Not only did they find out the whereabouts of this group of assassins, they even captured all of them alive.

"..."

The astonishment on his face gradually faded, Wei Changtian looked at the young man who was still kneeling on one knee, and asked slowly:

"what's your name?"

"Back to the son!"

The young man raised his head, and the look in his eyes was a little fanatical.

"The villain's name is Du Chang!"

......

At noon, several carriages finally left Longmen Inn slowly and headed towards Xiyang Fucheng.

Since Du Chang "unexpectedly" captured the group of assassins, everyone wasted a little more time and simply interrogated these people.

Wei Changtian already knew that they were sent by Pei Dajun, so after confirming that they did not know Bai Youheng, he ordered them all to be killed.

At a time like this, you definitely can't be merciful.

What's more, it can be regarded as revenge for Wang Gan.

At dusk, the group arrived at Xiyang Mansion, went to Yizhuang to take out Wang Gan's ashes urn, had a casual meal in the city, and then continued westward on their way back to Fengyuan.

Wei Changtian left Fengyuan for eight days this time, the time was shorter than expected, and everything went smoothly.

Not only did he receive Lao Zhangtou and A Gou safely, but he even had an "unexpected harvest" and gained another capable general.

Since Du Chang didn't appear in the original book at all, Wei Changtian didn't feel as at ease with him as he did with Chu Xianping, and planned to let him eat a puppet pill if he had the opportunity in the future.

And if the "loyalty" is not considered, Du Chang does have the same ability as Chu Xianping.

However, his and Chu Xianping's style of doing things seems to be different.

Although the latter acted decisively and rationally, if there were multiple solutions to a matter, Chu Xianping would most likely choose the most "right way".

But Du Chang would definitely choose the simplest one.

In most cases, "simple" means "unscrupulous".

Chapter 332 Chess game with the country as a child

History has shown that anyone who can achieve great things will have some very important right-hand men around him.

Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, Liu Bang has Zhang Liang, Qin Shihuang has Li Si, Jordan has Pippen...

As for Wei Changtian, the people he relied on most before were undoubtedly Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu, and there might be another Du Chang in the future.

Good guy, it's okay to gather all the crouching dragons and phoenix chicks.

Of course, it's hard to say whether Du Chang is up to the task right now, and it will take some time to investigate.

But judging from the current situation, even if he is not considered a "handsome talent through the ages", he is definitely a "talent" at the very least.

Beautiful!

Sitting in the rickety carriage, Wei Changtian nodded happily.

With this configuration, wouldn't I not have to do anything myself in the future?

On the other hand, Ning Yongnian is surrounded by people from the same boat club, what can he use to fight against himself? !

and many more......

Thinking of Ning Yongnian, the smile on Wei Changtian's face slowly froze.

Ever since the former really ordered Youjia to assassinate him, Wei Changtian officially regarded the Emperor of Daning as his most important enemy at this stage.

Although dealing with an emperor is undoubtedly far more difficult and complicated than dealing with a Liu family, Wei Changtian actually didn't have too many worries before.

But after learning that Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian were mixed together, this kind of ease no longer existed.

At least it was difficult for Wei Changtian to be as calm as before.

Alas, I don't know what these two people are plotting. Has the Tongzhou Association found any information about Bai Youheng...

He thought to himself for a while, then shook his head and lifted the curtain of the car, and looked at the mountains and fields shrouded in night by the roadside.

The mountains in the distance are like solidified waves, extending all the way to the end of the unreachable sky.

......

......

Daning, the imperial palace.

Just as Wei Changtian and his party were galloping back to Fengyuan, ready to continue completing the "great cause" of beheading Yan Luo, Ning Yongnian was also planning his great cause.

What Wei Changtian thought before was correct, Ning Yongnian really doesn't have many available people around him now, what's more, he doesn't even know which people are "available" and which ones are "not available".

However, perhaps because the previous process of killing Yunlian was too easy, Wei Changtian ignored the most important thing——

No matter what, Ning Yongnian is a "Son of the Dao of Heaven" who enjoys the blessing of great luck.

And because of ignoring this matter, Wei Changtian did not notice another abnormality.

Since Ning Yongnian is the son of the way of heaven, the direction of blessing is still the "emperor's way" to rule the world... Then why did the Daning court not only not take the slightest share in the two large-scale wars in Jizhou and Yuanzhou? Cheap, and even frustrated everywhere?

The Xu family "conspired to rebel" in Jizhou. Although the rebellion has been quelled now, the Xu family insisted on defending a mere city of Jizhou for several months. In the end, they were able to barely break through the city entirely by relying on the superiority of the imperial army in terms of numbers.

And in the end, the "remnants" of the Xu family, including Wei Yanyu, escaped, and no trace has been found so far.

Let's talk about the national war that took place in Wonju.

Dafeng entered the country with a large army of 50, and Daning defended Yuanzhou City with a comparable number of reinforcements from all over the country.

This should have been a close contest, but the huge Yuanzhou City was only defended for 22 days, and even the remnants of the Liangzhou Army surrendered to the enemy in the end.

Although there was no problem with the frontline defense of Fengxian County afterwards, the decision to voluntarily give up a big city was really confusing.

And now that Dafeng's army has all retreated to Yuanzhou City because of Yan Luo's incident, and the chaos in Jizhou has subsided, it should be a great opportunity for Daning to launch a counterattack.

But Ning Yongnian still ordered Daning's army not to leave the county.

Such a "cowardly" strategic choice does not seem to be a big problem if viewed alone.

After all, Daning's country has encountered two major turmoils in succession, the "Xu Family's Rebellion" and the "Liu Wei Controversy", so it is really inappropriate to make rash moves.

But if one considers Ning Yongnian's status as "Son of the Dao of Heaven", then all this becomes meaningful.

Perhaps, Ning Yongnian is not "cowardly to fight", but is playing a big game of chess.

Now it seems that nothing happened, but the "chess game" has been developing step by step according to his plan.

As for Wei Changtian...

Although he couldn't say that he didn't know anything about it, at best he could only see a cloud of fog.

But what is in this huge fog that envelops Daning and Dafeng... He hasn't even been able to catch a glimpse of it.

......

"..."

"Your Majesty, I hope you can remember your promise."
