I am the villain in the book

The next day.

Xu Sui Sui left.

Not died, but in the literal sense of "left".

Moreover, she also took Shen Ran with her.

Wei Changtian was actually a little helpless about this, after all, he originally planned to rely on Shen Ran to "get free" the luck of other Sons of Heaven.

However, the latter was willing to follow Xu Sui Sui to leave, so he couldn't stop them.

"Young Master."

"Miss Xu and Young Master Shen have already left the Shu border and are heading north."

"Yes."

Looking at Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping nodded.

Although he didn't know too much about Xu Sui Sui's inside story, he could see how complicated Wei Changtian's mood was at the moment.

Chu Xianping understood that Xu Sui Sui's position in Wei Changtian's heart should be very special, but he didn't understand why the two would turn against each other.

Until Wei Changtian suddenly calmly added another sentence.

"By the way, there is no need to continue investigating the note."

Huh?

Chu Xianping's eyes widened slightly, and a guess immediately appeared in his mind.

However, he didn't ask any further questions, just nodded silently again, and at the same time ordered the two jailers behind him:

"Open the prison door."

The dark and cramped cell was only a few square meters in size, with dirty straw on the dirty ground, no bed, no window, and the environment was extremely dirty and bad.

When the jailer slowly opened the prison door, Wei Changtian was even choked by the sour smell that poured out of it.

Subconsciously frowning, he looked up at the man sitting cross-legged in the center of the cell.

This was Wei Changtian's second meeting with You Wenzong, but the situation of the two had already been reversed.

Especially You Wenzong, not to mention changing from a third-rank official to a prisoner, and soon he would have to take the blame for Han Zhao and become the Wei family's spy pointed out by the people of Da Ning.

Such a gap is undoubtedly huge, and others may have collapsed long ago.

But You Wenzong is now unusually calm, and even nodded actively after seeing Wei Changtian.

"Young Master Wei, we meet again."

"..."

Huh?

Is his psychological quality so strong?

Wei Changtian muttered in his heart, then took a step into the cell, and waved his hand behind him at the same time.

"Brother Chu, I'll talk to Lord You alone."

"Yes, Young Master."

Chu Xianping bowed slightly, and soon left with the two jailers, leaving only a dim oil lamp.

Carrying the oil lamp, Wei Changtian didn't dislike the dirty straw on the ground, and sat down opposite You Wenzong, then smiled and responded to the latter's words just now.

"Yes, Lord You, we meet again."

"..."

"Cough, cough cough cough..."

The dim red light reluctantly fell on You Wenzong's pale face, and in the dimness, he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

After the cough, he still calmly mocked himself.

"Young Master Wei..."

"Although I have had several doubts, I didn't expect that General Han was really your man."

"And although I don't know how you did the thunder that night, it must require complicated preparations."

"In this way, you should have planned to end the Shu Prefecture battle at Niutou Mountain long ago."

"Such a strategy with one ring after another, I lost not unjustly..."

"..."

Obviously, You Wenzong had roughly guessed the overall plan of the Shu Prefecture battle.

He admitted defeat, and his words now were undoubtedly very free and easy.

However, Wei Changtian didn't have the slightest meaning of "heroes cherish heroes", but sneered and shook his head.

"Heh heh, Lord You."

"You lost not unjustly?"

"I think you may be overestimating yourself a bit..."

Under You Wenzong's fixed gaze, Wei Changtian continued to say in a disdainful tone:

"In the Shu Prefecture battle, my opponent was Ning Yongnian, not you."

"The person who lost was also Ning Yongnian, not you."

"Lord You, I'll say something unpleasant."

"A small person like you doesn't even have the qualifications to play chess with me, so how can you talk about winning or losing?"

"..."

You don't even have the qualifications to play chess with me.

The sarcasm and contempt in this sentence were unparalleled, and it can be said that it was a naked humiliation.

The feeling is quite like the joke in the previous life—

The sucker finds the abandoned goddess, saying that he can accept everything about her, but only gets the sentence "You are not worthy to raise his child".

This kind of thing is undoubtedly sad.

And what's even sadder is that the "goddess", as the object of licking, is actually right to say this.

Because the "Party A" never needs to consider the feelings of "Party B".

Just like Wei Changtian at this moment, as the victor, as the chess player, he doesn't need to care about the feelings of You Wenzong, the chess piece.

What's more, he was intentionally trying to anger You Wenzong.

"What? Lord You, do you think I'm wrong?"

Glancing at You Wenzong, who was silent, Wei Changtian chuckled:

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"You are just a mere third-rank Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and you can't even stand in the first row when you go to court."

"There are many people like you in Da Ning, so why do you think you can play chess with me?"

"..."

Two consecutive soul-searching questions made You Wenzong unable to speak for a long time.

Strictly speaking, the third-rank Vice Minister of the Ministry of War is already a small official, and the person who can reach this position is by no means an ordinary person.

So You Wenzong is now said to be so worthless by Wei Changtian, it is impossible not to be angry in his heart.

But he couldn't refute it.

After all, compared with Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian, he is indeed just a small person who can't be on the stage.

But...

"Young Master Wei."

"If you came here today just to mock me, then I have nothing to say."

After being silent for a long time, You Wenzong suddenly slowly raised his head, looked at Wei Changtian and said word by word:

"But I think you shouldn't just want to say these things, right?"

"..."

"That's natural."

The mockery was put away, and Wei Changtian's expression finally gradually became serious.

If You Wenzong's reaction just now was anger, then he might not have said the following words, and he would probably just kill the former.

It was precisely because You Wenzong still showed enough calmness in such a humiliating situation that he made up his mind to "bring this person into his own use".

"Lord You, I guess you have already guessed it, so I won't say much more."

"Under Ning Yongnian, you can only be a Vice Minister of the Ministry of War at most in your life."

"But here with me, you can immediately take office as the Prime Minister of Shu."

"Yes, my Shu Kingdom only has one state now."

"However, the imperial army has already been defeated, and I think you also know what the situation in Da Ning will be like in the future."

"I sincerely want to invite you to jointly achieve a great cause, but I don't know if you are willing..."

Casually breaking a piece of straw, Wei Changtian said the last sentence casually while playing with the wick of the oil lamp.

"Are you willing to get rid of the status of a chess piece and be a true chess player."
