I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 310 Bai Youheng's Goal
The little boy named "Zhu'er" was just one of many young children who died in the Longzhou area in recent days.

The culprit is naturally Bai Youheng who escaped from the Dafeng army.

In order to complete the ancient ritual that would allow him to ascend to heaven in one step, he needed the souls of [-] dead people and the souls of [-] unbroken boys.

Right now is the time of the national war between the two countries, so the former is enough now.

However, the latter is still far behind.

"One thousand four hundred."

"It's still two thousand, alas."

Putting the quaint bronze mirror back into his bosom, Bai Youheng sighed softly.

There are still fifty days until July [-]th, which means that at least forty young children will be killed every day on average.

This goal is undoubtedly difficult to achieve.

After all, the scope of activities of Gu carvings is limited to Fengyuan City, and all the young children in the city will immediately be gathered around the Princess Mansion where Wei Changtian lives, and once they do something, they are very likely to be noticed by the latter.

Bai Youheng didn't know whether Wei Changtian had the ability to kill Gu eagles, but he was unwilling to take the risk.

What's more, there is that mysterious old man who is rushing to Fengyuan.

This is also the reason why Gu Diao did not commit crimes near the Princess Mansion in the past few days.

Since the gu carvings will soon lose their count, the remaining two thousand souls can only be obtained by themselves.

Bai Youheng doesn't have any psychological burden on "killing children", but he is not a Gu Eagle immune to all attacks. If he acts carelessly, he may fall into danger, so this progress will definitely not be fast.

Just like in the past few days in Longzhou, he only "collected" less than fifty souls in total, and as the search by the Longzhou government continued to intensify, he would soon have to change places to commit crimes.

"Squeak~"

The dilapidated wooden window was gently pushed open, Bai Youheng looked at the passers-by on the street outside the window, thinking about where to go next.

Is there any place where you can quickly complete the goal?
I frowned and thought hard for a long time, but I still couldn't think of any good place to go.

However, at a certain moment, a bold idea suddenly came to my mind.

Just like before I decided to come to Yuanzhou battlefield to collect the souls of the dead.

Instead of taking huge risks and constantly "running around and committing crimes", they killed people one by one.

Then it would be better to simply "make the final decision" and get rid of the remaining two thousand souls at once.

And looking at the whole world, there is only one place where so many young children gather.

That is what he has been making Gu Diao try to avoid——

Fengyuan, Princess Mansion.

Two days later.

Princess House.

"Young Master, Wang Gan and the others have already received Senior Zhang in the Gobi West Desert."

In the study, Chu Xianping reported: "It is estimated that we will arrive in Fengyuan in six or seven days."

"Huh? Got it?"

Wei Changtian raised his head, his expression not too surprised.

The old man really wanted to come to Fengyuan.

It seems that he should indeed come for "Yan Luo".

However, Li Qi once said that the mysterious swordsman who killed Yan Luo with a sword [-] years ago was surnamed Zhou, and he didn't know the relationship with the old Zhangtou.
Forget it, it's useless to think about it now, just ask when someone arrives.

"okay, I get it."

Nodding his head to signal Chu Xianping to sit down, Wei Changtian asked again, "How is the situation in Daning recently?"

"Nothing to rave about."

Chu Xianping replied truthfully: "The Dafeng army has returned to Yuanzhou City, but the imperial army is still sticking to Fengxian County. The two sides have ceased fighting for several days. No one has any intention of acting rashly for the time being."

"There is no important information in the capital. Ning Yongnian doesn't seem to care much about the war in Yuanzhou. He has sent orders to Yuanzhou several times to ask Wu Ding to guard the front line of Fengxian County."

"As for Shuzhou, Mrs. Lu is now in charge of the house, and it is said that she has handled all affairs in an orderly manner, and nothing has gone wrong."

"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Lu also opened a branch of Chunshen Bookstore in the city of Shuzhou, and now she has started selling newspapers and other things."

"."

Chu Xianping slowly talked about some things that happened in Daning in the past few days, while Wei Changtian listened and flipped through Yan Luo's file, his expression was always calm.

Because, as the former said, there really is nothing to praise.

He doesn't care whether there is a war in Yuanzhou or not.

He didn't care what Ning Yongnian had planned for the frontline war.

He didn't even care what Lu Jingyao did after going to Shuzhou.

As for the fact that she has now become his "Master of the Harem", since Xu Qingwan and the others have no objection, Wei Changtian will let her make troubles.

"Brother Chu."

Suddenly, Wei Changtian remembered something that he cared about very much: "When will my grandfather arrive?"

"Qin Jiaozhu left Shuzhou eight days ago, and he must arrive in a few days."

Chu Xianping replied: "I have already handed over the location of the Princess Mansion to the Freemasons to Master Qin, and he should come here directly after he arrives in Fengyuan."

"That's good."

Hearing that Qin Zhengqiu was coming soon, Wei Changtian immediately relaxed a lot, nodded and finally said: "Keep an eye on Youjia, and let me know as soon as she returns to the capital."

"I see."

Chu Xianping stood up in response: "My lord, if I have nothing else to do, I will go out first."

"Ah."

"."

Pushing the door open, Chu Xianping quickly left the study and walked out along the bluestone path.

It happened that Pei Dajun was walking towards him right now, so he stopped to say hello.

"Lord Pei."

"what?"

Pei Dajun turned his head and looked over as if waking up from a dream, and bowed his hands apologetically in return: "So it's Mr. Chu, sorry, I was thinking about something just now."

"It's okay."

Chu Xianping nodded and asked casually: "Master Pei is going to find the young master?"

"Yes, there are some things I want to discuss with Mr. Wei."

Pei Dajun asked: "I don't know if Mr. Wei is in the house at this time?"

"Yes, I just came out of the house."

"Master Chu, then I will excuse you first."

"Well, Mr. Pei, let's go."

"Farewell."

"."

After saying "Farewell", Pei Dajun hurriedly walked towards the study.

Chu Xianping, on the other hand, stood there and looked at his back, without moving for a long time.

Pei Dajun hadn't met him too many times, and the only few exchanges were all polite after encountering him like today.

Reasonably speaking, the two of them are not close friends at all, even saying "acquaintance" is very reluctant.

But just relying on the brief conversation just now, Chu Xianping noticed that Pei Dajun seemed to be different from usual.

"Master Pei!"

Suddenly, Chu Xianping shouted loudly behind him.

"what?"

Pei Dajun turned his head, looked at Chu Xianping who came to him again from far and near, and asked in doubt: "Young Master Chu, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask the adults"

Chu Xianping lowered his voice, leaned into Pei Dajun's ear and asked with a smile:

"Do you know what my name is?"
