I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 242

At the beginning of the child.

"Report!"

"The imperial army has passed the boundary of Yishan County, and the imperial guards are the vanguard, heading straight for Jizhou City!"

When a messenger soldier hurriedly knocked on the door of the tea room and said this sentence in a hurry, Wei Yanyu's expression was not panic, but a little relieved.

"Mr. Wei"

She took a deep look at Wei Changtian, and said calmly, "I'm out of company."

"Madam Wei, but it's okay to go."

Wei Changtian smiled: "I am waiting for your good news."

"I hope you won't disappoint my lord."

Wei Yanyu replied meaningfully, and then slightly bowed to give a half-blessing, then turned around and walked out of the tea room with the messenger soldiers, obviously to arrange the defense of the city.

"This woman is calm"

Watching the two leave, Wei Changtian smacked his lips and muttered to himself in a low voice:

"Although I don't know who is the secret agent of the imperial court in the Xu family, but I think it should be possible to defend Jizhou City."

"Unless Ning Yongnian has a backup."

"Oh, what a hassle."

"The son of luck and the king of a country, this nima is a little too big."

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu's hang is bigger than him."

"."

The fragrant tea in the cup was a little weak, Wei Changtian raised his neck and poured the last cup of tea into his mouth, got up and walked out of the tea room.

Probably because of Wei Yanyu's instructions in advance, the guards outside the house did not stop him, but allowed him to walk in Xu's mansion, only following at a distance.

There are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, which is tidy and quiet. In front of it is a small building that does not know its purpose. The gray walls and black tiles have a strong sense of simplicity.

The imperial army was approaching, but at this time there was no panic in Xu's residence, except for a few guards in the residence, he didn't even see a single soldier.

Maybe Wei Yanyu really didn't plan to leave a way out for the Xu family.

After standing in the courtyard for a while, Qin Zhengqiu also walked out of the house.

"Changtian, where's Mrs. Wei?"

"Let's go, I guess I'm going to arrange the defense of the city."

"So the imperial court really came straight to Jizhou City?"

"Ah."

Wei Changtian nodded: "Grandpa, there is a high probability that the imperial court will not be able to break through the city tonight. We will leave as soon as they retreat."

"it is good."

Qin Zhengqiu had no objection, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Where are the grandparents who live in Luoguo Lane? Will they also come with us?"

"this."

Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment: "I'll go ask them. If they are willing, they can go together, if they don't, then forget it."

"Okay, then I'll go with you later."

Qin Zhengqiu suddenly remembered something, and then said: "By the way, you asked me about something yesterday. I just suddenly remembered someone."

"Xinghe Sword, Zhang Benchu."

"This person's surname is Zhang, he is a sword idiot, he has reached the second rank, and his age seems to be suitable."

"but."

"But what?" Wei Changtian suddenly turned his head.

"But he died fifty years ago."

"died?"

Wei Changtian's first reaction was to feign death or something, but Qin Zhengqiu seemed to have guessed his thoughts, shaking his head and explaining:
"Well, it is indeed dead."

"At that time, there was a sword master who claimed to be from the extreme north and wanted to challenge the swordsmen in the world."

"He killed more than a dozen kendo masters in Daning, and finally met Zhang Benchu."

"The two fought overnight on the Tianshan Mountain in Liangzhou. At dawn, Zhang Benchu ​​showed a flaw in his move and was beheaded by the swordsman."

"There were many people who saw this scene at that time, and it was absolutely impossible to fake it."

"."

The vegetation around him was full of shadows, and the wind that passed through the deep corridor with raised eaves was trembling.

After Qin Zhengqiu finished speaking, Wei Changtian was silent for a while.

It sounds like the old Zhangtou really can't be that Zhang Benchu.

After all, his head has been lost, even if he has a system, it is impossible to save him from this situation.

"Forget it, let's forget about this."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian didn't continue to ask.

He looked up at the night sky, and suddenly remembered the words that old Zhangtou said at dinner yesterday.

"As a teacher, I once cut Yan Luo with one sword."

Although I still don't believe it.

But I have to say that the aura of old Zhangtou when he said this was really bluffing.

Half an hour later, Luoguo Lane.

"Old Zhangtou, soon the imperial army will approach the city."

"At that time, the designation in the city will be very chaotic, and your chess stall may not be able to be set up."

"No accident, I will leave the city and return to Shuzhou tomorrow."

There was not even an oil lamp in the dilapidated house with air leaks on all sides. Facing the old and young who were yawning all the time, Wei Changtian rolled his eyes while sending out a "sincere" invitation.

"If you and Agou are willing to come with me, then pack up now!"

"Huh~"

Another yawn was earth-shattering, and the old Zhang head half lying on the bed muttered vaguely: "It's the middle of the night, so I can't let people sleep."

"Didn't you leave tomorrow? Then you can ask again tomorrow."

"Obviously I didn't sleep all night last night."

"Hey, those three little ladies are too active, I think it must be because of the teacher's demeanor."

Guys, can you look in the mirror before you say that? ?
"You."

Wei Changtian resisted the urge to curse, and asked again patiently: "Are you going to leave or not, give me an answer!"

"Don't go."

"."

If you don't leave, why do you say that there are some and none? !
Wei Changtian became angry for a while, turned his head and asked Agou who was rubbing his eyes next to him.

"Agou, do you want to come with me?"

"Huh~"

A Gou opened his mouth and yawned a little: "I listen to grandpa."

Well, you two just leave it here.

"Okay, it's fine if you don't want to go."

Wei Changtian had no intention of persuading him: "But don't blame me for dying in this turbulent Jizhou."

"Disciple, you really underestimate my teacher."

Old Zhang stared, as if a little unhappy: "I think I was a teacher back then."

"Stop! Keep these cows for yourself"

Wei Changtian waved his hand, took out a thousand taels of silver bill from his bosom, and threw it on the kang.

"Old Zhang, you and I are destined, but I don't think we will have a chance to see each other again in the future."

"Save some money for this money, don't foolishly spend it on those brothel girls, save some money to buy some dowry for Agou in advance."

"Also, if you die early and there is no one to take care of Agou, then ask someone to take her to Shuzhou to find me."

"But let's say it in advance, don't expect me to come to Jizhou to visit your grave at that time, I don't have that leisure time."

"Okay, you guys go on to sleep, I'm leaving."

After speaking, Wei Changtian simply got up and prepared to leave.

But the old Zhangtou stretched out his hand suddenly.

"Teacher, wait!"

"What? Changed your mind?"

"That's not true. Disciple, can you call me Master again?"

"."

Anyway, it was time to say goodbye, Wei Changtian didn't care about being taken advantage of by Lao Zhangtou again, so he replied perfunctorily.

"Master."

"Hahaha! Good!"

Old Zhang responded with a smile, and the smile made the criss-cross wrinkles on his face squeezed together, like an ancient tree that has gone through countless years of wind and rain.

Wei Changtian didn't know why he was so happy, but he didn't bother to think about it, he just asked one more question before he left.

"By the way, old Zhang, have you heard of the name Zhang Benchu?"

"Zhang Benchu?" Old Zhang's face was blank.

"It's okay, just pretend I didn't ask."

Wei Changtian shook his head, and the next second he was distracted by a sudden loud noise from a distance.

"boom!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

From one or two sounds to one after another.

The endless roaring sound was accompanied by the tremor of the earth, and even the ragged beam above the head trembled and sprinkled bursts of sawdust.

There is no doubt that the battle has already started on the other side of the city wall.

Through the broken window, Wei Changtian turned his head to look at the clusters of "fireworks" that exploded in the night sky, and did not observe the situation of old Zhangtou.

He didn't even notice the intense pain and struggle in the latter's eyes.
