I am the villain in the book

Chapter 225: I Only Have You

Why go to Ji Province?

Naturally, to talk with the Xu family.

Talk about what?

Naturally, how to use the Xu family's strength to destroy the Liu family.

Although the secret letter said "Try to mediate the dispute between the Liu and Wei families", anyone could see that the life-and-death struggle between the Liu and Wei families could not be easily stopped.

Therefore, for Ning Yongnian, another kind of "quick end" result was likely acceptable.

As long as the Liu-Wei dispute could be resolved in a short time, Da Ning could naturally devote all its efforts to dealing with foreign enemies.

Although this would greatly reduce the internal friction of the winning side between the Liu and Wei families, increasing the difficulty for Ning Yongnian to "unify the country" later, the experience in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War in his previous life showed that the saying "Settle internal affairs before resisting foreign aggression" was not necessarily correct.

If the country is gone, everything else will be meaningless.

So, to some extent, Da Feng's sudden attack was a good thing for Wei Changtian.

Because it greatly reduced the resistance from Ning Yongnian in the process of "eliminating the Liu family".

So, the key now is...

How to use the Xu family to destroy the Liu family in the fastest, most reasonable, and least costly way?

Regarding this question, Wei Changtian had previously thought of a plan with Wei Xianzheng.

However, after listening to Chu Xianping's plan now, he could only say that the choice to bring this "King of Simps" under his command was absolutely correct!

...

"Okay, Brother Chu, let's do as you said!"

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Changtian finally closed his wide-open mouth, without the slightest doubt, and expressed his complete agreement with Chu Xianping's plan.

"You will arrange everything for this trip to Ji Province!"

"Yes."

Chu Xianping nodded: "Young Master, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I still need to explain things to the Gongji Society."

"Okay, go quickly."

"Yes."

But before that, there was still a major event to be done.

Speaking of which, tomorrow is the last day of the "three-day period", You Jia should also make a move.

As Wei Changtian expected, You Jia finally chose to take action against him on the last day.

He didn't know if it was because she felt guilty, so she wanted him to "live" two more days.

...That's about it.

At dinner, Xu Qingwan, who had just returned from Jiuding Mountain, whispered to convey You Jia's invitation to "talk to Young Master Wei about something tomorrow."

"Changtian, if you have nothing to do, go. I think Miss You seems to have something important to tell you."

Xiao Xu put a piece of fish into Wei Changtian's bowl, and was still speaking for You Jia.

Wei Changtian looked at her silly appearance, and thought to himself that it was a good thing he didn't tell the truth at the beginning, otherwise this fool would have been exposed.

"Okay, I see. I'll take some time to go there tomorrow."

He nodded very normally, and then deliberately changed the subject.

"By the way, I'm going out in a few days."

"Going out? Where are you going?"

Xu Qingwan's attention was successfully diverted, and her face was full of nervousness for a while.

The entire Da Ning was in chaos right now, and the safest place was Shu Province, so she was very reluctant for Wei Changtian to leave Shu Province at this juncture.

"Going to An Province, just to do some errands, there's no danger."

In order to reassure Xiao Xu, Wei Changtian made up a lie: "I'll be back in seven or eight days at most."

"Oh..."

Hearing that he was going to the neighboring An Province, Xu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, and then hesitated and asked:

"Then, can, can I go with you?"

"Hahaha, what are you going to do?"

Wei Changtian couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Do you also have something to do?"

"No, no..."

Xu Qingwan lowered her head and replied truthfully: "I, I just want to be with you..."

"Okay, it's not like I'm not coming back."

Wei Changtian was amused in his heart, and with a turn of his eyes, he lowered his voice and asked: "Do you still remember the poem I wrote for you?"

"I remember..."

"What was the last sentence?"

"If, if two hearts are together for a long time, how can it matter if they are together day and night..."

"So, the two people don't necessarily have to be together all the time."

Wei Changtian ate while earnestly persuading: "Staying together all day long is easy to get tired of, cough, I'm not talking about you... Anyway, can you understand this meaning?"

"I, I understand..."

"Then do you think it makes sense?"

"..."

Xu Qingwan twisted the corner of her clothes and shook her head gently without speaking.

Huh?

It doesn't make sense?

It shouldn't be!

Wei Changtian didn't know what Xu Qingwan was thinking, so he prepared to listen to her opinion.

"Why do you think it doesn't make sense?"

"..."

After another period of silence, Xiao Xu thought for a long time, and then hummed like a mosquito, lowered her head and replied:

"You, you have so many confidantes, when you are not with me, you can be with Miss Liu Shi, with Miss Liang, with Miss Lu, so naturally you won't feel uncomfortable..."

"But, but I only have you."

"..."

Wei Changtian suddenly froze, even with a piece of fish that had not been chewed in his mouth.

He looked at Xu Qingwan, who was bowing her head and not speaking. At this moment, he suddenly realized that his attitude towards Xiao Xu was indeed different from the beginning.

It wasn't that he "didn't love" her anymore, nor could he say that "love was divided."

But in short, it was just different.

Was it because he had too many women and got them too easily, so he didn't care?

Or was it because Xu Qingwan couldn't help him like Yang Liushi, nor did she have a family background like Liang Qin, so he looked down on her?

Wei Changtian didn't know what the reason was, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Because he knew that Xu Qingwan was already trying very hard to make herself more "present".

That night when he killed Liu Yuanshan, when the Liu mansion's servants rushed towards him, among so many Suspended Mirror Division servants, only Xu Qingwan stood in front of him.

He was exiled to Shu Province, and in less than three months, Xu Qingwan, a girl, traveled thousands of miles alone to chase him to this unfamiliar southwest frontier.

Even now, Xu Qingwan had already taken over some of Yuan'er's work, doing things that only maids would do...

"Wan'er..."

Suddenly, Wei Changtian opened his mouth with half a piece of fish in his mouth.

His voice was vague, half of his cheek was slightly bulging, and he said softly in a somewhat ridiculous manner:

"I'm sorry."
