I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 436
Under Shen Ran's astonished eyes, Xu Suisui was ready to start acting aggressively.

On the other side, Wei Changtian and Gui Pei'an were already sitting in another quiet room.

Compared with the slightly weird atmosphere between Shen Ran and Xu Suisui, there is much more silence between them.

Hmm, or a little too silent.

As for the reason for the silence, it is actually very simple.

Because Wei Changtian came to look for Shen Ran today, he had nothing to say to Gui Pei'an.

"That. Return to Shoufu, drink tea."

Feeling embarrassed, he poured a cup of tea for Gui Pei'an, and Wei Changtian kept thinking about what to talk about.

We definitely can't talk about academic issues, why don't we talk about the "international situation"?
After all, it's such a lively fight in all aspects, aren't you, Da Li, going to get involved?
It would be nice if I could create some trouble for Ning Yongnian.
"Mr. Wei"

Wei Changtian made up his mind and was just about to speak, but he never expected that Gui Pei'an would speak first.

"I heard that Ning Yongnian has sent troops to Shuzhou?"

Ok?
Hearing that Gui Pei'an actually took the initiative to bring up this topic, Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, and then took advantage of the situation and continued:
"Yes, it will arrive in a few days."

"The young master is confident to win this battle?"

Gui Pei'an asked with a smile: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with an army of [-] troops?"

"It's a little tricky."

Nodding his head, of course Wei Changtian would not reveal his hole cards in front of Gui Pei'an.

"The number of the Shu army is already weak, and the Shu land has no natural dangers to defend, so it is really difficult to win."

"I can only say that I will do my best to obey the destiny."

"."

Wei Changtian originally wanted to show a "helpless" pessimistic attitude, trying to fool Da Li into helping him.

In the end, Gui Pei'an was stunned by the last sentence.

"Do your best, obey the destiny"

He lowered his head and repeated, then sighed with some emotion:
"Mr. Wei, you can explain human affairs so thoroughly in a casual sentence. I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

"Cough, Gui Shoufu was joking."

After coughing dryly, Wei Changtian smiled and said politely: "The boy is just talking nonsense, his stomach is actually empty."

"It's empty."

Looking at the "humble" Wei Changtian, Gui Pei'an sighed deeply with regret.

"Hey, it would be great if my disciples in Kuixing Academy had half of your talent and humility, Mr. Wei."

"."

Talented, humble.

No matter how you look at these two words, they have nothing to do with me.
Wei Changtian was dumbfounded for a moment, wanting to quickly end this topic.

However, Gui Pei'an's next sentence was even more unexpected.

"Young Master Wei, I wonder if you are interested in joining the Kuixing Academy?"

Ok?
Join Kuixing Academy?

"Uh, back to Shoufu, I'm following the path of Taoism."

After a pause, Wei Changtian said in surprise: "According to what I know, don't all the disciples of your school take the path of Wen Dao?"

"Three thousand roads lead to the same goal by different routes, there is nothing wrong with it."

Gui Pei'an explained with a smile: "Cultivation method is only external. If you are willing to join my school, you must benefit a lot from it."

"."

Tapping his fingers on the table, Wei Changtian didn't answer right away.

He didn't expect Gui Pei'an to have "thoughts" about him.

But it's normal to think about it carefully. After all, the "knowledge" I have shown so far is indeed a bit too strong.

When encountering a "Tianjiao", try to win them over, this should be the normal operation of the big forces.

Thinking about those villains who would "kill Tianjiao" every now and then written in the previous life's web articles, it's really a bit stupid.

but
"Returning to Shoufu, I don't know if enrolling in the palace is good for me."

Looking up at Gui Pei'an, Wei Changtian suddenly had a sneer on his face: "But it must be of great benefit to Kuixing Academy and Dali."

"Hehe, young master is really a straight-talking person."

Gui Pei'an took a sip of tea: "Since that's the case, then the old man has something to say."

"Young Master Wei, if you are willing to enter the Kuixing Academy, the Academy can indeed benefit from you."

"Therefore, the old man will definitely pay back."

"In this way, if you are willing to enter the palace as an elder, Da Li can help you defeat Ning Yongnian."

"how do you feel?"

"."

Joining Kuixing Academy, Da Li will help.

This deal sounds like a good deal, but Wei Changtian did not believe in Gui Pei'an easily.

"Returning to the first assistant, Da Li really dares to help me? Can you decide this matter?"

"Hehe, Mr. Wei."

Gui Pei'an stroked his long beard with a smile, and said in a calm tone, "If the old man says he can help, he will definitely help."

"Is it?"

Seeing Gui Pei'an's expression, Wei Changtian immediately believed it.

It seems that this old man's voice in Da Li should be no less than that of the emperor of Da Li, and even more important.

"Returning to Shoufu, there are many ways to help."

Squinting his eyes, Wei Changtian continued to ask: "But I don't know which one you are talking about? Could it be that Da Li will send troops?"

"will not."

Gui Pei'an made no secret of his thoughts: "Once we send out troops, we will go to war with Daning. Dali's national strength is weak, and it can no longer stand defeat."

"So unless Mr. Wei has the chance to win, Da Li will not send troops."

No troops?
So what are you talking about here?
Wei Changtian immediately lost interest.

"Return to Shoufu, don't blame the kid for speaking badly."

"It is said that there is less charcoal in the snow, and more icing on the cake. If I am sure of victory, why do I need Dali to send troops?"

"If the 'help' mentioned by Shoufu just refers to writing a few poems and articles to encourage our soldiers in Shuzhou, then let's forget about it."

Wei Changtian's tone became more impolite as he spoke, but Gui Pei'an didn't show any displeasure, and even laughed out loud after listening to it.

"Hahaha, don't worry, my lord."

"Although the Dali court can't send troops, maybe there will be many green forest heroes who are willing to come to Shuzhou to help the young master?"

Green forest hero?

This is a serious war, so save yourself.

Wei Changtian sneered in his heart, but suddenly realized something.

Maybe the "green forest hero" mentioned by Gui Pei'an did not really come from the "green forest"?

"Returning to the first assistant, do you think that in the middle of Dali?"

Wei Changtian's face gradually became serious: "How many such heroes are there?"

"This old man can't say for sure."

Gui Pei'an smiled: "However, there are always [-] people."

One hundred thousand
Wei Changtian's eyes changed, he nodded and stopped talking.

Today's situation is already obvious.

Da Li is unwilling to openly fight against Daning, but for various reasons, he is willing to help him fight against Ning Yongnian in a relatively concealed manner.

This kind of operation is actually quite similar to the roles played by certain countries in wars in previous lives.

It can not only avoid certain risks, but also directly intervene in the war, so that the war situation can develop in the direction you want.

Although this move sounds "insidious", at least for Wei Changtian, his "entry" to Da Li is definitely a hundred welcome.

Of course, Ning Yongnian is not stupid, and he can easily find out where the one hundred thousand "heroes" who suddenly appeared came from.

But the Dali court will definitely not admit it.

Besides, even if Ning Yongnian knew, so what?
