I'm the villain in the book

In the south of Yongding City, in a secret underground room in a remote courtyard.

Just when Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping turned their faces completely at the foot of Longshou Mountain, Yang Liushi looked expressionlessly at Lu Yuanjin whose acupuncture points had been sealed, and there were horribly dead corpses at his feet.

She didn't kill anyone, she just sat quietly on the chair, waiting for Wei Changtian's order.

At the same time, outside Fengyuan City, thousands of miles away, [-] of the [-] soldiers who surrendered had already headed west, heading straight for Dahui.

These [-] soldiers are all big cadres, and they are also the key force for helping Gongsunyan become emperor this time.

Wei Changtian promised them through Xu Suisui's mouth that he would let them go back to Daqian after Gongsunyan sat on the dragon chair, so these people would cooperate in this way.

Fengyuan is not too far from Yongding, and if you march quickly, you will arrive in about ten days.

And at that time, as long as Gongsun Yan survived, the addition of the dragon robe must be a certainty.

"Young master, don't forget that Gongsun Yan is now in my hands."

In the city gate tower, Chu Xianping looked at Wei Changtian who was holding the winning ticket, and said slowly:
"I could kill him right now."

"Kill it."

Nodding casually, Wei Changtian smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Chu, you don't think I really care whether Gongsun Yan lives or dies?"

"There are plenty of people who want to be emperors. If he dies, I'll just replace him with another."

"You can kill if you want, but don't be polite."

"."

His pupils shrank slightly, and Chu Xianping suddenly didn't know how to deal with Wei Changtian who had such a "hippie smile".

After all, although he has been with Wei Changtian for a long time, this is the first time he has encountered this kind of "enemy".

But this silence only lasted for a moment, Chu Xianping quickly took a deep breath and continued:

"Yes, there are indeed many people who want to be emperor."

"But not everyone is as suitable as Gongsun Yan."

"My lord, I know that Lu Yuanjin should still be alive, why don't you and I save Lu Yuanjin and Gongsunyan's life for now?"

"Wait a minute."

Before Chu Xianping could finish speaking, Wei Changtian suddenly interrupted: "It's up to you whether to kill Gongsunyan, but Lu Yuanjin must die."

"Young Master, why are you bothering?"

Chu Xianping lowered his head and said softly, "If you kill Lu Yuanjin, I will kill Gongsun Yan. Then you and I will have to find someone else."

"It's better to decide the winner with the two of them."

"To decide the outcome?"

Wei Changtian sneered, "Brother Chu, I think I'm sure of winning."

"But I also feel that I have not lost."

Raising his head and looking directly at Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping said calmly, "My lord, no matter what, the outcome is still undecided, isn't it?"

"."

Frowning slightly, looking at Chu Xianping's calm eyes, Wei Changtian realized that the former must still have a back hand.

It's right to think about it, after all, he was once a person who deceived countless people, so how could he give up so easily?

So... are you really going to let Lu Yuanjin go?
It's not that Wei Changtian can't accept "hostage exchange". Anyway, Lu Yuanjin has a lot of smoke on his body, so it's not difficult to catch him a second time.

It's just that it would be a waste of too much time.

After Mie Dahui, he had to go to Mie Dagan, and promised Liang Qin to return to Shuzhou before the beginning of winter, and he didn't have much time.

Wei Changtian originally thought that Chu Xianping would retreat after he killed Lu Yuanjin.

But I didn't expect the latter to be very "stubborn", as if he insisted on fighting with himself to the end.

Wei Changtian was well aware of Chu Xianping's methods, and knew that if the two really clashed, there would be no winner in a short time.

And in this way, it will undoubtedly give Daqian more breathing time, which will make it more difficult for him to destroy Dagan in the future.

so.
"Brother Chu, do you feel that Dahui's people's hearts are on your side now?"

Suddenly, Wei Changtian asked a seemingly unrelated question without warning.

But Chu Xianping was slightly taken aback, then nodded meaningfully.

"Yes."

"My son, the people are the foundation of the country."

"Whether it's Gongsunyan or someone else, as long as this person's surname is not Lu, he is destined to be unable to sit on this dragon chair."

"Now the entire Dahui people regard you and Gongsun Yan as life and death enemies. Even if you are silent for a while because of fear, it will explode one day in the future."

"And at that time, you will definitely lose."

"."

Sure enough, relying on the "royal blood" to win over the "people's hearts", this is where Chu Xianping's self-confidence lies.

This was a conspiracy, so Chu Xianping did not hide it.

And Wei Changtian didn't feel flustered at all after getting the answer, instead he smiled disdainfully.

"Brother Chu, you think the common people are too noble."

"It's just right, I have to go to Mie Dagan, I don't have time to spend too long with you here."

"How about we make a bet and use this to decide the winner?"

"bet?"

Chu Xianping's expression changed slightly: "Young Master, please explain more clearly."

"Well, it's actually very simple."

Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I'll let Liu Shi let Lu Yuanjin go later, and I don't want Gongsunyan either."

"But you can't kill him for the time being, but you have to wait until ten days later."

"And, beheaded in the execution ground openly."

Under Chu Xianping's puzzled eyes, Wei Changtian paused and continued.

"At that time, as long as you succeed in killing, I will leave Dahui immediately without saying a word."

"And if you didn't succeed in killing, you should do the same."

"How about it, should you take this bet?"

"."

I let Lu Yuanjin go, and you don't have to give it back to Gongsunyan.

Ten days later, you issued a serious notice to ask Gongsun Yan at Caishikou, as long as you can kill him, I will admit defeat.

Hearing Wei Changtian's "free" bet, ordinary people might think that he suddenly went out of his mind.

But Chu Xianping understood his real intention after only being stunned for a moment.

What Wei Changtian bet with himself was nothing but "people's support".

Just now when Wei Changtian yelled outside, "My lord, if you die, I'll let the people of Yongding City bury you with you", Chu Xianping heard it clearly.

And this also means that if you really want to ask Gongsun Yan to be killed in public, the people in Dahui will have to make a choice between "righteousness" and "justice".
Although Wei Changtian didn't make his words very clear, it is never necessary to talk too much between smart people.

Therefore, Chu Xianping fell into a long silence.

Just as Wei Changtian was sure, if he really accepted this bet, he would definitely not do anything in it, or go back on his word.

In the same way, Chu Xianping can also be sure that even if he kills Gongsunyan, Wei Changtian will not really slaughter the city.

In the final analysis, what they gamble on is just the choice of ordinary people before "family and country righteousness" and "self-interest".

The two people's familiarity with each other's personalities made this bet completely possible, and at the same time, they were very confident in their own judgments.

so.
"it is good!"

"Young master! You and I will bet on this!"
