I'm the villain in the book

Page 553

Such doubts also existed in the hearts of Li Huaizhong, Yu Qi, and Zuo Huiyu.

They all knew Wei Changtian's friendship with Yang Liushi, otherwise the former would never have borrowed them all the way from the capital to Liangzhou, let alone go out on his own.

But since Yangliu Poetry is so important, why is Wei Changtian silent now?

Isn't he afraid that Su Xiu really killed Yang Liushi?

The four of them couldn't figure it out, but they all understood that they must not talk nonsense right now.

The room fell into dead silence just like that, and the coldness in Su Xiu's eyes faded away little by little in this silence.

When Li Huaizhong had killed Yiyao again, but the last word "one" never sounded, everyone finally understood the answer to the question just now.

It turned out that Wei Changtian had long been convinced that Su Xiu was bluffing, and that she would not dare to take the entire Bailing Mountain to be buried with Yang Liushi no matter what.

"Go, go and bring her..."

Kneeling weakly on the ground, Su Xiu lowered his head, his voice was very low.

The maid in blue who had been standing not far away immediately widened her eyes in disbelief.

"My lord! This..."

"Go."

Su Xiu slowly raised his face, and a few strands of scattered black hair covered his eyes, which were no longer in the slightest of spirit.

She looked at the maid in Tsing Yi, shook her head sadly, and interrupted:

"Hurry up, one more person will die every three breaths..."

"..."

The maid was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't say anything more after all, turned around and ran quickly in one direction.

Wei Changtian turned his head and nodded slightly at Wei Zhaohai, who immediately followed behind in understanding.

The two quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, and the atmosphere in the room finally eased for the first time.

However, when Wei Changtian spoke again and said a word calmly, the air immediately became stagnant again.

"The demon king."

"Don't forget, there is another thing."

Chapter 635 Thirty Years Like a Dream (30)

Indeed, as Wei Changtian said, although Su Xiu has chosen to hand over Yang Liushi, there is another thing that has not been done.

That is to say what she is doing all this for.

"..."

In the distance, thousands of monsters are still crowded at the border of the dragon lock formation, chaotically and bewilderedly looking for a way out that does not exist.

A little closer, hundreds of monster corpses were lying on the ground, with limbs and flesh broken all over the place.

No matter how close, the air in the dilapidated house was almost frozen, and several eyes fell on the ragged Su Xiu.

Now, as long as she tells the truth, everything can end here.

Wei Changtian will return to Liangzhou with Yang Liushi, and Bailing Mountain will be able to live on.

As for the conflict between Wei Changtian and Yan Huanwen, or the conflict between Daning and Dajue... that is something to come later, and the outcome will most likely be determined on the battlefield.

so......

Slowly turning her head, Su Xiu looked at Wei Changtian in a daze, her eyes dimmed.

It was like a little beast that was tortured repeatedly until it finally gave up, or a pitiful person who was extremely desperate.

She trembled and lowered her head little by little, her long hair brushed across her fair shoulders and fell to the ground, and a gust of wind blew by, revealing her face full of tears.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Su Xiu just knelt at Wei Changtian's feet.

"Wei, Mr. Wei... please, please bypass Bailing Mountain."

"All, all the faults are mine. If you still don't let go of your hatred, then kill me..."

"If you're afraid of getting your hands dirty, I, I can do it myself..."

"I just hope you can let the demons of Bailing Mountain survive..."

"Just, I just ask you to hold your hands high and let them go..."

"..."

There is no forced compromise, no pretense of hiding anger and old grievances, and even no desolation of enduring humiliation and stealing life.

At this moment, amidst Su Xiu's intermittent prayers, everyone could only hear one emotion.

That is the most humble pleading.

Perhaps in terms of morality, intelligence, courage, ability, etc., she can't be considered a good monster leader, at least she is more than a star behind Qing Xian.

But judging from her willingness to sacrifice her life to seek a way out for the monsters in Bailing Mountain... Su Xiu can be considered qualified.

For a moment, the eyes of everyone looking at her changed slightly.

Especially the only woman on Wei Changtian's side, Zuo Huiyu, showed a hint of unbearable expression.

Only Wei Changtian saw the essence through the phenomenon, and with one word, he revealed Su Xiu's real purpose.

"So you still don't want to say it, do you?"

"..."

Su Xiu didn't raise her head, nor did she make any excuses, but still knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly.

"Ugh."

On the other side, Wei Changtian sighed softly.

"Demon King, you and I have no hatred at all, so I really can't figure out what you are for, that you can even take your own life."

"Since this is the case..."

Squinting his eyes, Wei Changtian was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly turned to the outside of the room.

Wearing a plain skirt swaying with the wind, it is Yang Liushi.

......

Without any accident, Wei Zhaohai brought Yang Liushi back in less than a hundred breaths of effort, which means that the latter has been hidden nearby.

Yang Liushi was always in the secret room, so naturally she didn't know what happened outside.

However, she could read some clues from the eyes of the guards guarding her.

And when Wei Zhaohai followed the maid in Tsing Yi to pick her up from the secret room and came here through the chaotic herd of beasts, Yang Liushi finally understood everything.

Tears filled the eyes in an instant, everything around became blurred, only the man who was smiling and looking at him was left in his sight.

Running all the way in a pool of blood, the splashed animal blood stained the cloth shoes and skirt corners red.

Yang Liushi ignored everything that was like purgatory, and quickly ran towards Wei Changtian, leaving behind even a drop of tears.

She knew why this purgatory was born.

She knows it's all for herself...

"Xiang Gong!!"

A shout echoed in the wind, this is a rare situation in Yang Liushi's addressing Wei Changtian as "Xianggong".

She ran across the small lake and the bluestone path recklessly, and threw herself into Wei Changtian's arms, clutching the latter's lapel with both hands, and never let go.

As for Wei Changtian... he finally let go of the palm he had been holding tightly in his sleeve, smiled and patted Yang Liushi's back lightly.

"never mind."

"Just stop running around next time..."

It was completely different from the devil-like performance just now, although Wei Changtian's tone was still calm at this time, anyone could hear the tenderness in it.

And when these words reached Su Xiu's ears, the latter raised his head in a daze.

She stared blankly at this scene, and finally realized slowly...

It turned out that just now, I almost won the bet.

"..."

Slowly closing his eyes, Su Xiu's mood at this time may be extremely complicated.

But right now, no one cares what she thinks.

Especially Yang Liushi, after crying for a while, as if she suddenly remembered something, she quickly raised her face, her teary eyes were hazy, but she hurriedly said:

"Sir, there is a senior official of the Dajue court on Bailing Mountain!"

"I saw him last night..."

"..."

......

Why did Su Xiu lie that Yang Liushi lived far away.

Why did she pretend to cooperate with herself.

Why does she know her own name.

Why would she rather die than tell the reason why she did this...

After Yang Liushi finished all the things she found out when she came to Bailing Mountain, and the meeting with a "Dajue court official" last night, Wei Changtian was finally able to connect all the clues in one place, and thus obtained Out of a guess.

And when he saw Su Xiu whose face became paler and paler, he knew that his guess was probably the truth.

"Sir, that's all..."

In her arms, as soon as Yang Liushi saw Wei Changtian's eyes, she knew that the latter was going to get down to business.

So she took the initiative to leave Wei Changtian's embrace after she finished speaking, wiped away the tears on her face, and stepped aside to stand aside.

"Grandpa, take care of Liu Shi."

Turning around, he smiled at Yang Liushi, and gave Wei Zhaohai another word of advice. When Wei Changtian turned his head to look at Su Xiu again, his eyes had become cold and piercing.

"Demon King, I finally understand."

"It turned out that someone from the Dajue court happened to be in Bailing Mountain. They recognized me and wanted to kill me, but they were afraid that they would not be able to do so, so they sent a letter back to find reinforcements."

"And your task is to hold me back until reinforcements arrive..."

"..."

While talking, Wei Changtian approached Su Xiu step by step, while the latter moved back little by little with his hands on the ground.

But being trapped by the Dragon Locking Formation, she was soon forced to a corner and couldn't move a single inch. She could only look at Wei Changtian standing in front of her in horror.

"What? Are you afraid?"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

Looking down at Su Xiu at his feet, Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Demon King, I can make you agree to this condition, and even after learning that I have brought so many masters, you still don't regret it..."

"This official is probably the Yan Huanwen who has a deep hatred with you."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought you just didn't hate him, but I didn't expect you to be so infatuated."

"But just like that, you shouldn't be so stubborn."

"After all, after giving Liu Shi to me, you will know that you can't keep me anymore, so you might as well speak out to save Bailing Mountain."

"Then why have you kept it a secret until now..."

The last sentence is not so much a question as a tease.

Wei Changtian squatted down with a smile, looking straight into Su Xiu's eyes, as if watching a prey caught in a trap.

But the latter could only shake his head tremblingly at this time, as if Wei Changtian would not say the sentence she was most afraid of.

However, after a few breaths, no matter how much she struggled, there was still a word in her ear.
