I'm the villain in the book

Page 570

Beside him, the General Banner of the Shuzhou Army who came first reported in a low voice: "There are about thousands of enemy troops outside the hall, and they are all Dajue Forbidden Army in their attire."

"They should have been ordered, but they never entered the palace, and they didn't stop us from going out to investigate..."

"..."

Soon, the general banner gave an overview of the situation.

Although Dajue's soldiers numbered in the thousands, they were all outside the Zishan Temple, obviously unwilling to have unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts with him.

So it seems that Yan Huaiqing is really sincere this time.

After all, in this way, if something happens, Wei Changtian can use the teleportation array to return to the mountain temple at any time, so there is really no need to worry about him playing tricks.

Tsk tsk tsk, this style looks like a character.

With a sigh in his heart, Wei Changtian nodded towards the Qingjia General Banner.

"Well, I see... Has anything happened to the brothers?"

"Master Hui, one died."

The general flag paused, and turned his gaze to one side.

Wei Changtian followed his gaze, only to realize that there was indeed a dead body lying flat in the corner.

The armor is intact and there is no injury on the body, so he should have died in an accident of "one of the hundred" in the teleportation array.

"Hey, keep an eye on his corpse and take it with us when we go back."

After softly exhorting, Wei Changtian withdrew his gaze and walked towards the palace gate.

Chu Xianping and Li Zimu, who had been silent all this time, followed behind him, neither fast nor slow.

In this way, the three of them quickly walked to the inner side of the palace gate, and were finally able to see the scene outside the palace clearly.

Just as the general banner said, there were indeed thousands of soldiers in silver armor standing outside in a neat formation, extending from the gate of the temple to hundreds of meters away.

Each of these silver armored soldiers looked stern and murderous, and their armor scales were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

The fighting power of such an imperial army is bound to be terrifying.

And Yan Huaiqing knew that there was a high probability that he would not need these people, but he still let them appear in front of him... There is no doubt that this is also a way of "showing off his muscles".

Curling his lips, Wei Changtian didn't care about it.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't step out of the hall, just stood motionless at the entrance of the hall.

Soon, a man who looked like a general came forward, arched his hands at him, and asked loudly:

"May I ask that you are Mr. Wei?"

"Yes."

After uttering a word, Wei Changtian set his eyes on this person.

Golden Armor and Golden Sword, powerful and imposing, with a high probability of being a second rank.

After reaching the conclusion, Wei Changtian stopped looking at him, and the latter cupped his hands and said "please wait a moment, my lord", then turned around and ran to a carriage with a dragon flag hanging, and said something to the people in the carriage what.

After a while, a person got out of the car.

The golden-yellow boa robe, the train is left and right, and a sword is worn at the waist.

Tall and thin, his appearance is somewhat similar to that of Yan Huanwen.

Obviously, this person is Yan Huaiqing.

......

......

"boom!!!"

The moment Yan Huaiqing got off the carriage, thousands of armored soldiers knelt down on one knee.

Unlike those civil servants who pay attention to decency when kneeling, these soldiers are not so particular, they kneel very simply and neatly like a boulder falling to the ground.

And although there were only a few thousand of them, the number of them was far inferior to the scene of thousands of people kneeling and worshiping when the emperor was traveling, but the sound that erupted from this kneeling was overwhelmingly domineering.

It can be seen that these people are not only well-trained, but also willing to go through fire and water for Yan Huaiqing.

However, Yan Huaiqing, who got off the carriage, didn't look at these people, nor did he let them get up.

He just glanced at Wei Changtian from a distance, and then walked towards the Zishan Palace step by step, followed only by the second-rank general behind him.

"..."

"Brother Chu, what do you think of this Prince Dajue?"

Without looking back, Wei Changtian still stared at Yan Huaiqing who was getting closer, but his voice came to Chu Xianping's ears clearly.

Soon, Chu Xianping behind him gave a very concise answer.

"Mr. Hui, this person is indeed a talent of an emperor."

"The talent of an emperor..."

Repeating in a low voice, Wei Changtian asked again, "Compared to Ning Yongnian and Li Qi?"

"Maybe he doesn't have the dominance of Ning Yongnian, or he doesn't have the virtue of self-sacrifice for the people like Li Qi."

After a pause, Chu Xianping's voice became more serious: "However, it does not have Ning Yongnian's self-willedness, nor Li Qi's indecision."

Not as domineering as Ning Yongnian, not as benevolent as Li Qi.

But not as arbitrary as Ning Yongnian, nor as benevolent as Li Qi.

The evaluation given by Chu Xianping can be regarded as objective, and the reason for such a conclusion is not difficult to understand.

After all, Yan Huaiqing was able to win over so many people for his own use only as a prince, and now that he has basically controlled the Dajue government, his means of winning people's hearts are naturally extremely strong.

It is very difficult for a dogmatic person like Ning Yongnian to do this.

As for why he is not indecisive...

How can a person who can decide to become emperor the day after his father is taken away not to be ruthless?

Squinting his eyes, Wei Changtian didn't speak again.

The moment thousands of people knelt down in unison outside the hall, he had already realized that Yan Huaiqing was not easy to deal with, and he must not treat him like an ordinary prince like Ning Wenjun.

Perhaps, this peace talk is much more difficult than I imagined...

At this moment, the entire Purple Mountain Palace was extremely quiet, only the footsteps of Yan Huaiqing and the generals behind him echoed in the air.

Then at some point, the footsteps also stopped.

"..."

"Young Master Wei, I have long admired you."

"I'm Yan Huaiqing."

Chapter 655 The Invisible Battlefield ([-])

I have admired you for a long time, and I am next.

If it were changed to most people in the world standing opposite Wei Changtian at this time, there would be no problem with using these two words.

But Yan Huaiqing...

On the one hand, Daning and Dajue are currently fighting, and the two should be hostile, that is, enemies.

On the other hand, although Yan Huanwen is not dead yet, Wei Changtian is still the chief culprit who took him away, that is, the enemy who took away Yan Huaiqing's biological father.

Furthermore, even though Yan Huaiqing has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, he is still the prince of a country, while Wei Changtian is still a grassroots man on the surface.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Yan Huaiqing should not and cannot be so "modest".

But he just said so.

"..."

After taking a deep look at the smiling man in front of him, Wei Changtian's mouth slowly turned into a smile.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

"I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness is both civil and martial arts, and has a talent unparalleled in the world."

"Seeing you today, it really lives up to its reputation."

"..."

On the one hand, "Long Admired" and "Below".

While "seen" and "long heard".

The opening remarks of Wei Changtian and Yan Huaiqing's first meeting can be said to be as outrageous as it is.

However, neither Chu Xianping, Li Zimu, nor the second-rank general showed any surprise, they just stood behind them and bowed their heads in silence.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei is being polite."

On the other side, the courtesies between the two continued.

I saw Yan Huaiqing laughed heartily and said: "What is both civil and military, it's just a lie that the people in this remote place in Dajue have never seen the world and watched the sky from a well."

"Yu Wen, my lord, who knows your poetic talent?"

"Yu Wu, the young master has already reached the third rank at a young age, and he can fight against the second rank alone without being weak."

"If you want me to say, Mr. Wei, you are the only one who can afford the four characters of both civil and martial arts."

"I'm nothing compared to that."

"..."

Yan Huaiqing once again "flattered", without reason or evidence, and by the way, he did not forget to belittle himself.

But this time Wei Changtian didn't "reciprocate", he just smiled and said:

"Since Your Highness has said so, it doesn't make any sense for me to be self-effacing. It seems that I am a hypocrite."

"However, Your Highness, for us, being able to compose poetry is of no use. No matter how good we are at fighting, how can we beat thousands of troops?"

"After all, doesn't it depend on who can live longer?"

"Do you think that's the truth?"

"..."

The sun was still bright and dazzling, and there was no strong wind around.

But when Wei Changtian finished speaking these few words, everyone felt a chill.

This chill came not only from Wei Changtian, but also from Yan Huaiqing.

"Yes."

Looking at Wei Changtian meaningfully, the sincere smile on Yan Huaiqing's face gradually faded.

"Young Master Wei expressed the true meaning of this in one sentence, I admire you."

"It's really not easy for Your Highness to understand what I mean so quickly."

Turning his body slightly, Wei Changtian's tone was very calm: "Your Highness, please."

"..."

After talking so much nonsense, the two sides are now ready to enter the palace for peace talks.

Chu Xianping looked at the general banner of the Shu soldiers, and the latter immediately understood and led all the Shu soldiers out of the hall through the side door.

Soon, only Wei Changtian, Yan Huaiqing, Chu Xianping, Li Zimu, and the second-rank general were left in the hall.

And these five people are about to decide the life and death of more than 100 million people through a negotiation, and even the survival of several countries.

Needless to say, the importance of such negotiations is even more significant.

Judging from the number of people, Wei Changtian, who had one more person, seemed to have the upper hand.

But even the side with more people on the battlefield may not win, so let alone at the negotiating table.

Bargaining and intrigue.

After all, negotiating is like playing cards.
