I'm the villain in the book

The grand plan is grand and mighty.

Layers of white marble steps like dense scales, pieces of dazzling yellow glazed tiles, and the golden light of Xia Yang shining down, human cities are comparable to heavenly craftsmanship at this moment.

When Wei Changtian stood in the huge Yongding City and looked up at the palace-covered Longshou Mountain in the distance, he finally saw what the cultivation world should look like for the first time.

It has to be said that compared to other big cities he has seen, Yongding built around the mountains is indeed much more "fantasy".

The people live around the foot of the mountain.

The Beijing offices of all institutions in Dahui are located above the foot of the mountain and below the mountainside.

From the mountainside to the top of the mountain is the Grand Palace.

The imperial palace built on the mountain is undoubtedly extremely difficult to build. If there are no practitioners, it is estimated that no matter how much manpower and material resources are invested, it will be difficult to complete this feat.

But correspondingly, just like the pyramids in the previous life, its visual impact is indeed strong enough.

Good guy, if there are a few more monks flying with swords around, it will really be similar to the scenes described in fantasy novels
"Son!"

With admiration from the bottom of his heart, when Zhang San's voice sounded, Wei Changtian finally looked away, and asked casually:
"It's all done?"

"It's done."

Zhang San nodded: "The villain only wants a single courtyard."

"Well, let's go then."

Nodding his head slightly, Wei Changtian immediately followed Zhang San to the inn named "Zhuwu" not far away, and Yang Liusi and Li Zimu fell slightly behind them.

Wei Changtian didn't bring too many people with him this time, only Zhang San, Yang Liushi, and Li Zimu.

And all three obviously have their own uses.

Zhang San is responsible for passing on information and doing some chores.

Yang Liushi is not only a "thug", but also uses illusion to help a group of people hide their identities and whereabouts.

As for Li Zimu, she replaced Chu Xianping and became Wei Changtian's current military adviser.

"Guest officers, the room has been tidied up."

"This concubine will take you there"

Just like that, amidst the hospitality of the proprietress of the inn, the four of them walked into the front hall of the inn one after another with smiles on their faces.

And with their arrival, an undercurrent capable of destroying everything began to surge in this prosperous and magnificent Yongding City.

The "Zhuwu" inn is located in the southwest corner of Yongding City, not too close to Longshou Mountain, about a dozen miles away.

Since this inn is named "Zhuwu", it means that there must be bamboo and water in it.

The southeast, west and three sides are adjacent to the river, and only the north side is connected to Qianjie. From a distance, it is full of green bamboo forests.

The main body of the inn is hidden in this bamboo forest. Although the houses are made of wood, they are mostly decorated with bamboo pieces, and there are many flowers and plants around them.

Such a place is rather quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle, as if being in it can isolate the hustle and bustle of the city.

But accordingly, the room rate here is not cheap.

Of course, the reason why Wei Changtian chose to settle in this "high-end homestay" was not because he was greedy for enjoyment, or because the young proprietress was quite attractive.

He just felt that compared to ordinary inns where people come and go, this place is more secretive after all.

Moreover, the shopkeeper of the inn was able to have such a property in Yongding City at such a young age, there is a high probability that she has some background behind her, and the probability of being interrogated in the future must be much smaller.

As for the identity of your group?
"Shopkeeper, how many larger horse shops are there in the city?"

Walking behind the shopkeeper's wife to a single courtyard deep in the bamboo forest, Wei Changtian suddenly said, "We are from Dajue, and we want to do some horse business."

"Several guest officials are Dajue people."

The proprietress in a green dress turned her head with a smile when she heard the words: "Young master, don't be polite, my name is Qin He, you can call me a girl."

"By the way, I don't know you, my lord."

"Oh, my surname is Wei."

"It turned out to be Mr. Wei, thank you for taking care of my business."

The woman named Qin He stopped to give a salute, and when she walked again, she deliberately landed behind Wei Changtian's side and answered the latter's question just now.

"Young Master Wei, there are thirteen big horse shops in Dahuiyuan, and every family has a shop in Yongding City."

"I don't know which one you want to visit first?"

"This one, Miss Qin, which one do you think is better?"

"I don't know the horse market, so I don't dare to talk nonsense, but I heard that the horses of Changsheng Horse Company are the best."

"Really? But I don't know where the store of Changsheng Horse is located?"

"It's right in the middle of the city."

"."

You said something to each other, and Wei Changtian quickly chatted with Qin He about selling horses.

And "a horse dealer from Dajue" is his identity in Dahui during this time.

In fact, this was Li Zimu's idea.

First of all, there are many horse dealers, large and small, who come from south to north to produce horses, so it will not appear obtrusive.

Secondly, selling horses is a big business, and it cannot be negotiated in a day or two. They will not arouse suspicion after staying here for a long time.

Finally, horse dealers need to travel all year round, so most of them have cultivation bases, which can also explain his and Zhang Sanwu's identities.

It has to be said that Li Zimu may not be as good as Chu Xianping in big strategies, but he is extremely meticulous in handling such small matters.

And that's why Wei Changtian brought her here
"Thank you Miss Qin, then I'll go to this Changsheng horse shop to take a look at it tomorrow."

"My lord, you are welcome. You must be tired after coming from a long distance, so I won't bother you much. You can just greet me if you have something to do."

"it is good"

"."

While speaking, everyone has arrived at a single courtyard.

Qin He said a few more polite words before taking his leave and leaving, and several inn clerks also moved the luggage of Wei Changtian and others into the room and left.

Turning his head to look at the other two small courtyards not far away that were temporarily unoccupied, and then glanced at Qin He's handsome back, Wei Changtian whispered:

"It's probably a junior."

"Little San?"

Yang Liushi, who was looking at the scenery in the courtyard at the side, heard this sentence and asked suspiciously: "Master, what is a mistress?"

"this."

Wei Changtian searched for a long time, and finally came up with a relatively close explanation: "It's the shady outer room."

"Oh I got it."

Yang Liushi, who had spent several years in a brothel, immediately understood "Outer Room".

She frowned and thought about it, then looked back at Qin He, and she could see that she still agreed with Wei Changtian's judgment.

After all, it must cost a lot to open such an inn in Yongding City, but the business of this "Zhuwu" is obviously not good, so Qin He must be a good owner.

In addition, Qin He asked Wei Changtian to call her "girl", which means that she is not married at least on the surface.

A young woman without a real name, she is not afraid of losing money when she comes out to do business. The combination of these three points makes Qin He really look like a "little three".

"Young master, let's go into the house."

Shaking her head, Yang Liushi had no interest in talking about other people's secrets, and soon walked into the small courtyard together with Wei Changtian.

Not far away, Qin He, who didn't know that he had been identified as the mistress, also looked back at this moment.

His eyes swept over Yang Liushi, Zhang San, Li Zimu, and finally landed on Wei Changtian's back.

The long eyelashes blinked, seeming a little puzzled.
