I'm the villain in the book

In the eyes of most people, this question is not worth discussing.

After all, not only did Wei Changtian capture Yan Huanwen alive, he even used a surprise attack to almost wipe out the entire vanguard of Jue Ji's coalition army.

The latter item alone has intensified the conflict between the two sides to the point of irreconcilability, not to mention that Dajue had been preparing for this big battle for a long time.

Therefore, the immediate question may only be "when to fight".

but......

On February [-]th, the sixth day after the "Surprise Attack on Xianchi", the third day when the two armies confronted each other in the Tianshan Mountains.

In the middle of the night, an old eunuch came out of Dajue Palace and quietly found the envoy stationed in Dajue by Zhan Shifu in Daning.

The latter, surnamed Jia, was just about to go to bed at that time.

But before he took off his clothes, he saw several men in black standing behind him at some point.

"You, who are you guys?!"

"If the two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy! Don't be fooled!"

"..."

"Master Jia, our family came here by secret order, please forgive me for being reckless."

Glancing at the livid envoy, the eunuch in black bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"I want to chat with you, His Royal Highness."

"please."

......

......

"Xianping, how did you meet Miss Song?"

Outside the city of Liangzhou, there is a company battalion of the Shu army.

It was already late at night, but there was still a light in a certain tent.

Chu Xianping was flipping through some information sent back from Dajue in front of the table, while Li Zimu was sitting opposite, studying ink and asking with great interest:

"Tell me, it's no secret!"

"What kind of person is she?"

"..."

There is no doubt that the "Miss Song" Li Zimu said was Chu Xianping's real wife, Song Li.

Song Li was met by Chu Xianping in Fengyuan's brothel, so the latter was naturally unwilling to elaborate on this matter.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zimu immediately guessed something.

"Xianping, is Miss Song from a bad background like me?"

"Ah."

Chu Xianping hesitated for a moment, then whispered a word.

"I redeemed her body for her."

"..."

The meaning of this sentence couldn't be more obvious, Li Zimu couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then sighed in a low voice:

"Then she must be pretty."

"Yes."

Chu Xianping still cherishes words like gold: "Very beautiful."

"Compared to me?"

"this......"

"Hehehe, it looks like she's prettier than me."

Li Zimu's eyes were bent into crescent moons, and his tone was a little teasing: "No wonder you married her!"

"I didn't marry her because of her looks..."

Chu Xianping shook his head with complicated eyes.

"Her father owed gambling debts and was unable to repay, so he sold her to a brothel."

"I saw that she was pitiful, so I redeemed her body."

"I thought that was the end of the fate between us, but who would have thought that she would find me later."

"And then......"

"And then Miss Song will agree with her body."

Li Zimu interrupted suddenly with a smile: "You don't dislike her, so you agreed, right?"

"..."

Looking up at the smiling Li Zimu, Chu Xianping nodded.

"Yes, that's about it."

"I'll just say it."

Li Zimu shook his head triumphantly, and then said softly and meaningfully:

"Miss Song really found a satisfactory husband as she wished."

"..."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Chu Xianping naturally heard the meaning of Li Zimu's words.

From the latter's point of view, the reason why Song Li married him was not because of any "feelings", but because of the wealth and power he displayed at that time.

"Miss Li, it's getting late!"

For a moment, Chu Xianping's face suddenly turned cold: "If you are fine, please go back, don't send it away!"

"Hmph, I know you don't like to hear..."

Li Zimu was not annoyed at seeing that Chu Xianping was about to chase him away suddenly.

She pushed the prepared ink table to Chu Xianping's hand, then stood up by herself, muttering softly:

"Anyway, what I said is true or false, you should know it best."

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xianping didn't speak any more, just lowered his head and pretended to look through a few secret letters.

In fact, he had already sensed something was wrong with Song Li.

After the two got married, within a few days, the latter proposed to do business like Xu Qingwan, saying that he wanted to find something to do.

Chu Xianping naturally obeyed her, and even ordered the Freemasonry to help her more secretly.

Later, Song Li's business became more and more prosperous, and he made a lot of money.

But at this time, she was no longer satisfied with just being a wealthy businessman, and she wanted to join the Freemasons again.

Chu Xianping had discussed this matter with Wei Changtian before, but the latter was too lazy to take care of it.

In the end, Chu Xianping did not really allow Song Li to join the Freemasonry.

But even so, Song Li still relied on her status as the "wife of the rudder master" to do some "bullying and dominating the market" things.

It's not too serious, but it also caused complaints from all walks of life in Shuzhou City...

The candlelight swayed, reflecting a slender figure.

At this time, Li Zimu had already walked to the side of the curtain, ready to lift the curtain and go out.

Looking at the back of the former, Chu Xianping felt very complicated.

He knew what Li Zimu said was right, so he felt a little guilty about his attitude just now, and opened his mouth to apologize.

However, before he could say "sorry", an urgent voice came from outside the tent.

"Master Chu!"

"Young Master Wei, please go to the state government office to discuss matters with Miss Li immediately!"

Chapter 650 Why are you blushing?

When Chu Xianping and Li Zimu rushed to the state office, Liang Zhen and Du Chang had already arrived one step ahead, and they were talking to Wei Changtian at this time.

While Han Zhao was leading troops to confront the enemy at the Temple of the Mountain, Wei Zhaohai had already returned to the capital and was unable to "participate" in the meeting.

"Brother Chu, hurry up!"

Seeing the two people coming in, Wei Changtian immediately turned his head and said with a smile on his face:

"The news from the capital just now, Yan Huaiqing took the initiative to find the envoy of Zhan Shifu, and wanted to talk to us!"

"Six days! Yan Huaiqing finally couldn't bear it anymore!"

"Fortunately, you can hold your breath, otherwise we will definitely lose our momentum now..."

"..."

It can be seen that Wei Changtian waited very hard for this news.

After the "Xianchi Surprise Attack" ended and the two armies confronted each other, he originally planned to send someone to contact Yan Huaiqing.

But Chu Xianping stopped him, saying that whoever takes the initiative in this negotiation will be at a disadvantage, let Wei Changtian wait, and within ten days Yan Huaiqing will inevitably come to the door first.

But now only the sixth day has passed and the result has been obtained, it can be seen that Yan Huaiqing is also unable to see the situation clearly.

"Young Master, what exactly did Yan Huaiqing say?"

Walking quickly, Chu Xianping asked calmly, "When will we talk? Where will we talk?"

"When we will talk about it is yet to be decided."

Wei Changtian twitched his lips: "But he said he wanted to talk in Zishan Palace."

Purple Mountain Hall is the main hall where the Seventh Demon Land guards the teleportation array.

The distance between Daning and Dajue is too far, and it is difficult for the two sides to choose a "third-party" location for negotiation, so there are only two optional locations.

Either the Purple Mountain Temple or the Mountain Temple.

Obviously, both parties want to set the negotiation venue on their own side, after all, their own safety can at least be guaranteed in this way.

"It seems to me that there must be no compromise in this matter."

Next to him, Liang Zhen frowned and said, "If you really go to Zishan Palace, you might fall into Yan Huaiqing's trap."

"Besides, anyway, he couldn't help but propose peace talks first, so we should be tougher."

"Just tell him directly, don't talk about it if you don't talk about it in the mountain temple, and see if he will retreat or not."

"If he doesn't back down, let's fight! Are we still afraid that he won't succeed?"

"..."

From Liang Zhen's point of view, going to the Purple Mountain Palace was undoubtedly a compromise, and there was absolutely no reason for him to show weakness when he had already taken the initiative.

This is also what Du Chang and Wei Changtian thought.

but......

"General Liang, my opinion is different from yours."

Chu Xianping shook his head unexpectedly: "I think it should be discussed in Zishan Palace instead."

"Ah? Why is that?"

For a while, Wei Changtian and the others were a little puzzled, not knowing what kind of strange brain circuit Chu Xianping had.

And the latter didn't make a fool of himself, and quickly explained:

"Young Master, General Liang, Brother Du."

"The black powder is indeed powerful, but now we only have more than a thousand barrels delivered recently, and it is difficult to show its power as it did six days ago."
