I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 888 I Don't Go To Hell Who Goes To Hell

"Benefactor Xiao, the abbot invites you to go over."

After almost a stick of incense, the little monk found Wei Changtian in the Palace of Heavenly Kings out of breath.

At this time, Wei Changtian was studying with great interest what magic weapon was in the hands of the most vicious-looking "Northern King", so he casually asked the little monk:

"Is that an umbrella in his hand?"

"It's an umbrella."

The little monk looked at Wei Changtian in surprise, as if wondering why he didn't even know this.

After all, since this "Young Master Xiao" wants to donate money to the temple, he should be a Buddhist believer, how could he not know more about the magic weapon of the Heavenly King?

But although he was puzzled, the little monk answered truthfully:

"Young Master Xiao, this is the Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella, a treasure used by the Northern Heavenly King to cover the world and prevent demons from harming the people. It also represents his steadfast Buddha's heart that is always pure and free from contamination by other things."

"Oh I got it."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian looked away and said with a smile, "Let me, little master, lead the way."

"Yes"

Bowing his head and turning sideways, the little monk responded and quickly led Wei Changtian out of the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and walked along a small path to the depths of Yun'an Temple.

At the same time, Su Qi, who looked haggard, saw Li Zimu again in the Moon View Inn about a dozen miles away.

"Miss Lee"

There was a stiff smile on his face, compared to the few times he met before, Su Qi no longer had the character of being neither humble nor overbearing.

He arched his hands at Li Zimu, and was about to say something cautiously, but was interrupted by the latter:

"Master Su, the young master is not here."

"."

Su Qi's expression froze, and he whispered:

"Miss Li, I have something very important to discuss with Mr. Wei, could you please inform me?"

"Important matter?"

Li Zimu smiled, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Young master is doing something more important right now, Mr. Su should wait."

"Then I don't know how long I have to wait?"

"I don't know. Maybe one day, maybe two or three days."

Li Zimu glanced at Su Qi: "My lord, why not go back first, if the young master comes back, I will truthfully tell the young master about your visit."

Maybe one day, maybe two or three days.

Su Qi didn't know what the "more important thing" Li Zimu was talking about, but he knew that if he really waited until then, it would be too late.

"Li, Miss Li, the young master doesn't want to see me."

Looking at the stairs leading to the second floor of the inn, Su Qi's voice became even more humble.

"This, I was wrong before, I hope you can give me another chance, I... I will definitely do my best to help you."

"Oh?"

Hearing Su Qi finally uttered these words, Li Zimu's eyelids trembled slightly, and his expression became playful.

She raised her eyes to look at Su Qi with a bitter face, and asked knowingly:

"Master Su, what do you mean by that?"

"I"

Su Qi paused, lowered his head in embarrassment, and didn't say anything for a long time.

It can be seen that it is a very difficult thing for him to admit the betrayal with his own mouth.

But since Su Qi has come here, he must know that he will have to cross this hurdle sooner or later.

So after being silent for a while, he finally trembled word by word:
"I, I am willing to follow the example of Mr. Wei from now on, and help Mr. Wei to destroy Dagan."

"."

I would like to help the young master destroy Dagan.

It's hard to say what Su Qi's mood was when he said this.

Perhaps if it wasn't for the people of Linchuan City, he would rather die than betray his country.

But now, when the "responsibility" of being an official forced him to embark on this road of no return, his heart may have already been ashamed.

The originally straight back became bent, and Su Qi seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

He lowered his head and stopped talking, only his fingers trembling slightly, like an old dog.

But Li Zimu who got the "answer" seemed to have no sympathy for the poor man who was "forced to go to the Liangshan" in front of him, and even asked with a sarcasm smile:

"Master Su, so Jing Guoqing will arrive in Linchuan within three days?"

"... His Majesty will not come."

Su Qi still lowered his head, and his voice was very weak: "Miss Li, please ask your son if you can give me a few more days, and I will definitely find a way to lure Bijing Guoqing to come to Sichuan."

"It's just that I don't know if the young master can be merciful to the beast tide coming from Changliu Mountain."

"Hehe, it turned out to be because of the beast tide."

Li Zimu sneered: "I said, why did my lord suddenly figure it out? Feelings don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin."

"Yes, I was confused before."

Facing Li Zimu's ridicule, Su Qi neither showed the slightest bit of anger, nor did he say a word of tit-for-tat.

He just admitted his "mistake" obediently, and the cowardice in his tone was unbearable.

From an important official of a country who was trusted by Jing Guoqing and loved by the people, to a traitor who is now reduced to the enemy's lackey, Li Zimu knows why Su Qi is for it.

Therefore, even though he knew that he still needed to continue to put pressure on Su Qi at this time, Li Zimu hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't say any more humiliating words.

"Okay, let's go back, my lord."

"I will tell you the truth about today's matter."

"As for the future, it depends on the young master's decision."

After saying the last sentence, Li Zimu turned and left without looking back, leaving Su Qi standing alone.

The latter was like a stone sculpture, and stood with his head down for a long time before looking up at the empty stairs.

In any case, now that the matter has come to this point, he can no longer regret it.

No matter what will happen in the future, Su Qi no longer cares whether he will be "famous in history" or "notorious forever".

He didn't even expect the people of Linchuan City to appreciate his "sacrifice", he only hoped that hundreds of thousands of innocent lives could be saved with his own "sin".

Just like that widely circulated Buddhist saying.

I don't go to hell, who goes to hell.

"How about it?"

On the other side, when Li Zimu returned to the room, Zhang San immediately leaned over and asked gossipingly, "Su Qi has decided to reverse?"

"Yes."

Li Zimu nodded: "Just as Young Master expected, the beast tide was the last straw that crushed him, and it seems that he really has nowhere to go."

"Hahaha! The young master really knows everything like a god!"

Zhang San was excited when he heard the words: "At the beginning, the young master said that when the beast horde came to Linchuan City, Su Qi would definitely turn against him."

"I didn't expect Su Qi to be overwhelmed before the beast horde came."

"I will send a message to the young master!"

"."

While talking, Zhang San excitedly took out the mother-of-child jade, ready to tell Wei Changtian the good news.

But after a while, he raised his head under Li Zimu's puzzled gaze, and muttered in a daze:

"There's no response from there. Could it be that the young master hasn't gotten up yet?"

"No, it's getting late."
