I'm the villain in the book

Page 510

"..."

This time, Wei Changtian didn't answer right away.

Because this involves a very critical issue.

If things go wrong one day in the future, not only Daning and Xinfeng, but even Dashu can't hold on, what should he do?

Is it true that "Nine Deaths Without Regrets" sticks to the end?

Or run away with your family?

If he really wanted to escape, Wei Changtian was still confident that he could escape successfully.

but......

The winter wind is cold and the grass is short, and the sun is scorching and the sand is hot.

"Do your best."

"If it's really invincible, let's talk."

In the end, Wei Changtian still didn't give a positive answer.

And Yang Liushi didn't ask any more questions, but softly comforted:

"My lord, it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to Heaven to make things happen."

"As long as we have a clear conscience."

"Worthless..."

Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again after a while.

"Having a clear conscience is always easier said than done."

......

......

Five days later, the ninth day of the first lunar month.

It has been five days since I left Shuzhou City, and I have been on the road during this period, and I have nothing to say.

The speed of the group is very fast, which basically conforms to the "senior group travel mode" of "get off the car to eat, get on the car to sleep".

During this process, Wei Changtian spent the rest of the time practicing Luoqiongjian in the Dream Dao, apart from discussing some matters with Wei Xianzhi.

Up to now, he has mastered 36 forms of the 33 forms of the Baidian Juxue Luoqiong Sword, and it is estimated that he will be able to practice the last two forms in one or two months.

And after that, he can try to practice the No. 30 six-style that was rated as a "pseudo-immortal" by the system.

I don't know how powerful this "pseudo-immortal" level swordsmanship is.

Although it is impossible to be as perverted as Moon Moon Sword, it should be much stronger than Guichen Sword.

In fact, with Wei Changtian's current mastery of Luoqiong Sword, once it is used, its power is not weaker than Guichen Sword.

In addition, he also has a "divine sword" like the Xuantian Sword...

How about switching to a sword in the future?

It feels like it's more pretentious than a knife...

"Son!"

Wei Changtian was wondering whether to abandon the sword and use the sword, when Zhang San's voice suddenly sounded from the front of the car curtain.

"We have already entered the border of Tanzhou!"

"Ok?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Zhang San said this suddenly: "What's wrong with Tanzhou?"

"Well... we will arrive in Zhongling County in half a day."

Zhang San explained: "Shall we rest in the county seat for one night?"

"Zhongling County?"

Wei Changtian repeated himself, and suddenly thought of a thin county magistrate whose official uniform was full of patches, and a big ghost-faced spider that turned into a beautiful woman.

No wonder Zhang San asked, this is a revisit of the old place.

At that time, Wei Changtian happened to pass through Zhongling County on his way to Shuzhou after being "assigned".

Bandits were rampant in Zhongling at that time, so Wei Changtian played a play with Liang Zhenbang, the local county magistrate, and thus "raised" the military pay needed to suppress the bandits.

After that, Wei Changtian never cared about the situation in Zhongling County.

I don't know if the gangsters are in peace, whether the upright and honest, but somewhat stubborn, thin county magistrate is still there...

"Tell my father, if the time is about the same, let's rest in Zhongling County tonight."

After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian smiled and said, "But there is no need to notify the county government, we will leave after staying overnight."

"Yes, son!"

Zhang San replied, his tone sounded a little excited.

In his opinion, it was rare for Wei Changtian to do such a good deed, and now he would be happy to see Zhongling return to prosperity.

So he was also happy.

Including Yang Liushi is in a similar mood at this time.

They have all followed Wei Changtian to Zhongling, and witnessed Wei Changtian helping the county magistrate to make suggestions and collect money to suppress the bandits.

Now that they passed by here again after two years, all three felt that even if Zhongling County was not particularly prosperous, at least it should be much better than it was two years ago.

but......

The three carriages drove fast all the way, entered the boundary of Zhongling County two hours later, and passed through the first village very quickly.

It was dusk at this time, but the expected scene of smoke from the kitchen and the smell of chickens and dogs did not appear.

There was not even the sound of closing the windows and doors after hearing the sound of carriages.

The whole village was dead silent, with cobwebs crawling over the dilapidated courtyard doors, and dead leaves piled up several inches on the ground, it was obvious that it had been deserted for a while.

At first, Wei Changtian only thought this was a special case.

But as they got closer to Zhongling County and encountered more and more villages along the way, they realized that every village was like this, and had already become dead villages.

Fortunately, there was still a fire on the wall of the county seat in the distance.

But looking at the spot of light swaying in the night from a distance, Wei Changtian felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Chapter 585

"Who is coming?!"

At the south gate of Zhongling City, several men dressed as soldiers blocked Wei Changtian's way.

It was only nightfall at this time, but the city was already dead silent. If it weren't for the barking of dogs from time to time, Wei Changtian might really have thought that Zhongling County, like the villages he passed along the way, had become a dead city.

"Several soldiers, we are just passing by here."

Zhang San turned over and jumped off the carriage, and trotted to a few soldiers: "It's getting late now, I want to go to the city and find an inn to rest for the night."

"It's just a little bit, I hope you can help me..."

As he spoke, he quietly handed over a few coins.

Under normal circumstances, the officials guarding the city walls would not interrogate the people entering and leaving the city too much.

And if you ask, then there is a high probability that you want to get some benefits.

Zhang San naturally understood this, and he had done this kind of thing before, so the current set of actions was smooth and smooth, and he quietly stuffed the broken silver into the hands of the leading soldier.

Four or five people, four or five coins.

Not much, but should be enough.

But who would have thought that the leading soldier glanced at Sui Yin and shook his head with a sinister smile.

"It's easy to talk about entering the city."

"But you have to let everyone in the car get off first, and accept my questioning."

"If there is nothing wrong, then we can enter the city."

"This......"

Zhang San glanced back subconsciously, and found that the two carriages were not moving, and immediately understood Wei Changtian's attitude.

He immediately took out another five taels of silver ingot from his pocket, and said with an apologetic smile:

"Master, we've been on the road all day, everyone in the car is asleep, look..."

"Oh?"

Looking at the silver ingot, Jun Han seemed a little surprised.

He didn't hide it either, took the silver ingot and played with it for a while, then nodded with a half-smile.

"In this case, there is no need to investigate."

"Let go!"

"..."

"Shoot."

The rejecting horse blocked in front of the city gate was moved away by several soldiers, giving way to a passage that could accommodate a car.

Zhang San hastily rushed to the army man to thank him, then turned around and prepared to drive into the city.

However, after he walked a few steps away, he suddenly heard Jun Han say from behind:

"By the way, I forgot to tell you."

"At this time, there is only one inn open in the city."

"In the north of the city, there is no name, and there are six red lanterns hanging in front of the door, which can be seen from a distance."

"You'd better live there."

"..."

Suddenly stopped, Zhang San looked back at Jun Han's expression, and immediately responded again and again:

"Thank you for the reminder, Master!"

"Well, let's go in."

"Yes Yes."

"Grumble..."

The wheels rolled, and the three carriages quickly drove into the city gate under the watchful eyes of several soldiers.

And Wei Changtian didn't say a word during the whole process, just silently listening to the conversation outside the car, his face became more and more gloomy.

......

The moonlight is cold, the wheels run over the deserted streets, the sound of horseshoes pierces the darkness, and in an instant, it is submerged in the further darkness.

Most of the houses on both sides were pitch-black, and the occasional light was very weak, as if some kind of curtain was covered on the windows.

"My lord, although those soldiers are wearing military uniforms, the weapons they hold are not of the military standard."

While driving the carriage, Zhang San lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "The villains have also turned into bandits before. I just noticed their words and deeds on purpose. I think they should all be bandits."

"..."

"Ah."

Wei Changtian's response was a little slow, and there was nothing more than a slightly dull "hmm".

Zhang San guessed what he was thinking, so after waiting for a while, he asked again:

"My lord, shall we go to that inn in the north of the city?"

"Do you need to find a few people to inquire about the situation first?"

"no need."
