I'm the villain in the book

This was a conspiracy, so Chu Xianping did not hide it.

And Wei Changtian didn't feel flustered at all after getting the answer, instead he smiled disdainfully.

"Brother Chu, you think the common people are too noble."

"It's just right, I have to go to Mie Dagan, I don't have time to spend too long with you here."

"How about we make a bet and use this to decide the winner?"

"bet?"

Chu Xianping's expression changed slightly: "Young Master, please explain more clearly."

"Well, it's actually very simple."

Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I'll let Liu Shi let Lu Yuanjin go later, and I don't want Gongsunyan either."

"But you can't kill him for the time being, but you have to wait until ten days later."

"And, beheaded in the execution ground openly..."

Under Chu Xianping's puzzled eyes, Wei Changtian paused and continued.

"At that time, as long as you succeed in killing, I will leave Dahui immediately without saying a word."

"And if you didn't succeed in killing, you should do the same."

"How about it, should you take this bet?"

"..."

I let Lu Yuanjin go, and you don't have to give it back to Gongsunyan.

Ten days later, you issued a serious notice to ask Gongsun Yan at Caishikou, as long as you can kill him, I will admit defeat.

Hearing Wei Changtian's "free" bet, ordinary people might think that he suddenly went out of his mind.

But Chu Xianping understood his real intention after only being stunned for a moment.

What Wei Changtian bet with himself was nothing but "people's support".

Just now when Wei Changtian yelled outside, "My lord, if you die, I'll let the people of Yongding City bury you with you", Chu Xianping heard it clearly.

And this also means that if you really want to kill Gongsunyan in public, the common people will have to make a choice between "righteousness" and "justice"...

Although Wei Changtian didn't make his words very clear, it is never necessary to talk too much between smart people.

Therefore, Chu Xianping fell into a long silence.

Just as Wei Changtian was sure, if he really accepted this bet, he would definitely not do anything in it, or go back on his word.

In the same way, Chu Xianping can also be sure that even if he kills Gongsunyan, Wei Changtian will not really slaughter the city.

In the final analysis, what they gamble on is just the choice of ordinary people before "family and country righteousness" and "self-interest".

The two people's familiarity with each other's personalities made this bet completely possible, and at the same time, they were very confident in their own judgments.

so......

"it is good!"

"Young master! You and I will bet on this!"

Chapter 818 The Hope of the People

In this way, Gongsun Yan was taken to Longshou Mountain by Chu Xianping.

And after a stick of incense, Yang Liushi also left alone the small courtyard where Lu Yuanjin was hiding, and actually spared the latter's life.

Regarding the betting agreement between Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping, they are currently the only ones who know about it.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this wave is undoubtedly Chu Xianping.

The design captured Gongsunyan alive and thwarted Wei Changtian's plot... The people who heard about it were all joyful, and felt that they finally let out a bad breath.

But at the same time, that sentence also planted a seed of uneasiness in everyone's heart.

And after ten days, when the 20 troops surrounded Yongding City, the seed would break out of the ground and grow into a big tree named "Yongding".

......

......

Around noon, Wei Changtian swaggered back to Zhuwu in a car.

There are still ten days before the appointment, and Gongsun Yan is at Chu Xianping's place, so he should be able to compare during this period.

In the front hall of the inn, Qin He, who was restless, saw him coming back, and immediately stood up as if frightened, and stammered and asked:

Wei Changtian shook his head calmly, and glanced at the small courtyard where he lived:

Qin He immediately answered truthfully:

Wei Changtian withdrew his gaze, and stared at Qin He with a half-smile:

His body trembled, his eyes widened suddenly, and Qin He's face showed a hint of panic in an instant.

Obviously, she didn't realize until now that Wei Changtian was just playing tricks on her.

After all, the latter had never mentioned Yang Liushi's name before...

Opening his mouth tremblingly, Qin He wanted to explain something.

But Wei Changtian waved his hand and interrupted:

Gently pinching the corner of his clothes, Qin He lowered his head and didn't know how to respond, so he stood silently.

At this moment, she wasn't flustered anymore, but she didn't seem to know what to say.

Seeing her like this, Wei Changtian couldn't help but wondered:

Qin He raised his head slightly, looked at Wei Changtian and replied softly:

Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, as if he was amused:

With slightly red cheeks, Qin He explained in a low voice with some embarrassment:

Suddenly, the smile on Wei Changtian's face disappeared, and he even interrupted indifferently:

Opening his mouth wide, looking at Wei Changtian who suddenly changed his appearance, Qin He didn't know which sentence he said wrong, and couldn't help but froze in place for a while.

And the former didn't continue to chat with her, and turned around and walked out of the front hall with only one sentence left.

It was a bit late when the sound of harmony came, and by the time Qin He came back to his senses, Wei Changtian had already walked a few steps away.

Looking at the figure from behind, she pursed her lips in doubt, and then silently turned around to order the cook to cook.

......

Leave the front hall and return to the courtyard.

Yang Liushi hasn't come back yet, so now only Li Zimu is in the courtyard.

Seeing Wei Changtian through the window, the latter immediately came out of the room to greet him, and asked eagerly:

Wei Changtian replied calmly:

Li Zimu's eyes suddenly widened:

Walking into the house, sitting down at the table, Wei Changtian told Li Zimu about what happened this morning while drinking tea.

The latter's expression became very complicated after listening.

After a moment of silence, she said softly:

Wei Changtian shook his head:

Li Zimu asked seriously:

Wei Changtian did not answer Li Zimu's question directly, but raised his head and asked:

Li Zimu replied with a little doubt, he was talking about famous saints and righteous men in the history of Daning.

And Wei Changtian just nodded after listening, and continued to ask:

Suddenly, Li Zimu seemed to understand something:

Wei Changtian put down the teacup, stood up slowly:

With trembling fingers, Li Zimu nodded lightly, and then looked at Wei Changtian with complicated eyes.

Although she is well versed in the way of people's hearts, she also has good strategies.

But in this kind of big field, she is still young, it is true that Wei Changtian does not have a thorough understanding of it.

After a long silence, she asked in a low voice:

Wei Changtian said with a smile:

Li Zimu took a deep breath, stopped talking, but followed Wei Changtian's gaze and looked out the window.

The wind blows through the bamboo forest, shaking the bamboo waves.

There are faint silver bells jingling among the dense branches and leaves at the top of the green bamboo. When you look carefully, you find that it is a small bird with white feathers and yellow beak. ancient city.

Chapter 819

The next two days were relatively quiet.

The story of Gongsun Yan's arrest spread wildly in Yongding City, and Lu Yuanjin also appeared in Longshou Mountain again. Everything seemed to be developing in the direction expected by the Dahui people.

The announcement about asking and beheading Gongsun Yan hasn't been released yet, so Chu Xianping probably needs to "warm up" it first, in order to arouse public anger to the maximum extent.

But the news of the entry of 20 troops had already quietly entered Yongding City.

Of course, even if Dahui's vitality is severely damaged, the current national strength can barely handle these 20 people.

But with the addition of Wei Changtian, it's not necessarily the case.

Probably out of fear of being retaliated by this "Wei Yanluo", the Dahui military still did not take any action, just watching helplessly as the army crossed the Dahui border and headed straight for Yongding.

From this point of view, the major forces in the Dahui should not bet on it, and it is clear that they are waiting for everything to settle.

Whether to continue to serve the "old master" or to support the "new king". These powerful figures did not feel that the situation was so clear.

After all, no matter what, Wei Changtian never left Yongding.

As long as Wei Changtian doesn't leave, the battle for the throne will not be over yet.

Everyone understands this truth, but very few people know what Wei Changtian is waiting for.

It wasn't until the early morning of April 28, when a long notice was posted on the bulletin boards in front of each yamen, that no one had a faint thought of it.

The notice about asking and beheading Gongsun Yan is very long, and it is different from the cold official language in the past. The content this time can be described as painstaking and sincere.

To put it simply, Lu Yuanjin first carefully "summed up" how much his Lu family had contributed to the development of Dahui, and how many achievements he had made.

Then, he deeply mourned his father Lu Hongji, who was killed by Wei Changtian, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in the Xinfeng battlefield.

Oh, and his younger brother Lu Yuansong and King Kang Lu Xiangshan.

In short, this is not so much a notice as it is a "Letter to the People".

After laying the groundwork, Lu Yuanjin changed his style of writing and began to accuse Gongsunyan of crimes with a lot of pen and ink.

Collaborating with the enemy, plotting rebellion, killing civilians...etc.

Of course, Gongsun Yan has indeed done all these things, and Lu Yuanjin is right, except for exaggerating a bit.

It's just that Wei Changtian, another "accomplice" was not mentioned in the second half of the notice.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

After all, Wei Changtian now lives in Yongding City openly and aboveboard, but Lu Yuanjin has nothing to do with him, not even sending someone to make a show.

So mentioning it would be slapping yourself in the face, so it's better not to mention it.

But Gongsunyan is already in his hands, so he can completely scold him.

After scolding for a long time, the notice finally read:

[Gongsun Yan's crime is so heinous that it cannot be tolerated by the world. Even if he is a marquis, he can't stand it, so he was taken to Cao's office in the city for questioning and beheading in public at noon after seven days! 】

So far, the news of asking to kill Gongsun Yan has finally been made public.
