I am the villain in the book

Wei Changtian and his group returned to Liangzhou at noon the next day.

Liang Zhen had already deployed heavy troops, surrounding the Mountain God Temple layer upon layer.

After receiving them, they went directly back to Liangzhou City.

Although Wei Changtian had recovered a lot, he still had injuries that had not yet healed and needed a few days of rest, so he stayed in the state yamen.

Su Xiu and Yan Huanwen were separately imprisoned in the prison, and the interrogation work began that night.

The object of interrogation was of course mainly the latter.

As the Emperor of Great Jue, Yan Huanwen naturally possessed a lot of information about the Jueji Allied Forces, including but not limited to the military system, strategic deployment, marching routes, and so on.

As long as they could pry open his mouth, the information obtained would undoubtedly be of great help to the upcoming war.

What's more, his identity itself was extremely valuable.

Wei Changtian didn't know how the Great Jue royal family would handle this "Emperor being kidnapped" incident, but whether they decided to continue fighting or negotiate a truce, Yan Huanwen was his most important bargaining chip at the moment.

That's why he spared the latter's life at the time.

And interrogating such an important person naturally had to be done by a "professional" like Wei Zhaohai himself.

“.”

“Grandpa? Why are you here?”

Wei Changtian put down his bowl and chopsticks with a smile: “Have you had breakfast? Let's eat something together.”

“Yes.”

Wei Zhaohai nodded and sat down, and a maid immediately brought a set of bowls and chopsticks.

While the maid was serving porridge, he turned his head and said:

“Changtian, the Left Sect Master and the others will be going back later, if you are well enough, go with me to see them off.”

“They're leaving so soon?”

Wei Changtian was taken aback: “Not staying for a few more days?”

“They are both sect masters and important officials in the court, where would they have so much time to waste?”

Wei Zhaohai smiled and said: “But I have nothing to do for the time being, so I will stay in Liangzhou to help you interrogate Yan Huanwen before leaving.”

“Thank you, Grandpa, for your help, then I will go with you to see off the Left Sect Master and the others after breakfast.”

Nodding, Wei Changtian didn't take this little thing to heart, but asked in a low voice:

“Grandpa, how is the interrogation of Yan Huanwen going?”

“Alas, he still hasn't opened his mouth.”

Wei Zhaohai sighed softly, but his expression wasn't too worried.

He had also served as the commander of the Suspended Mirror Division, and he had seen many prisoners with stubborn mouths.

What's more, Yan Huanwen was an emperor of a country whose mind and will far exceeded ordinary people.

It was normal that he hadn't opened his mouth after only one night of interrogation.

“It's okay, anyway, the person is in our hands, no rush.”

On the other side, Wei Changtian obviously had the same idea, casually said a sentence, and then continued to ask while eating:

“By the way, Grandpa, what do you think the Great Jue royal family will do in response to this matter? Will they send someone to talk to us?”

“I'm afraid not.”

Wei Zhaohai waved his hand to signal the servants in the room to retreat, thought for a moment, and said:

“It is said that the prince of Great Jue, Yan Huaiqing, is quite talented.

Not only is he proficient in both civil and military affairs, but his words in the court already carry some weight.”

“He should be very clear that if we want to talk, we will definitely ask Great Jue to withdraw its troops.”

“But since they have prepared for this war for so long, and the momentum is so fierce, if they don't fight like this .

Even if Yan Huaiqing agrees, the other three countries will never agree.”

“What's more, this may not be a bad thing for him .

Not necessarily a bad thing.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Changtian immediately understood what Wei Zhaohai meant.

“Grandpa, are you saying that Yan Huaiqing might lie that Yan Huanwen is dead?”

“Yes.”

Wei Zhaohai nodded: “Few people know about what happened the night before.

Yan Huaiqing can completely shatter Yan Huanwen's life tablet, and then ascend the throne in a legitimate way.”

“At that time, even if we release the news, or even have Yan Huanwen show his face, he will have ways to cover it up.”

“Abandoning Yan Huanwen and taking the throne himself, this may be the best choice for Yan Huaiqing.”

“That makes sense.”

Slightly nodding, Wei Changtian thought for a long time before slowly saying:

“Grandpa, in this case, we had better release the news that Yan Huanwen was kidnapped by us before he makes a decision.”

“Even if it can't stop him from ascending the throne, it can at least cause him some trouble.”

“Yes, that's what I thought.”

Wei Zhaohai gently put down his chopsticks: “If you also agree, then I will send a message to your father later, so that the spies of the Suspended Mirror Division and the Zhan Shi Fu in Great Jue can spread the news.”

“Okay, let's do it this way.”

Wei Changtian didn't hesitate any longer and quickly settled the matter.

But just as he was about to continue eating, he found that Wei Zhaohai was still looking at him, with a hesitant look on his face.

“Grandpa, what else is there?”

“.”

“Changtian, I do have a small matter to discuss with you.”

“A small matter?”

Slightly stunned, Wei Changtian was just about to say something with a smile.

However, in the next second, when Wei Zhaohai said the second sentence, the smile on his face slowly froze.

“Changtian, the matter of Liu Shi being a fox demon”

“I already know.”

“.”

Wei Zhaohai knew that Yang Liu Shi was a fox demon?

How did he know?

Did Yang Liu Shi take the initiative to say it?

Or, damn, could it be Su Xiu who said it!

Damn it! Forgot about this!

The dining hall was silent for a while, and Wei Changtian's face changed several times.

Obviously, Wei Zhaohai was not bluffing him, but had really confirmed Yang Liu Shi's identity as a fox demon.

However, judging from the former's expression, although it was a bit serious, it didn't seem too bad.

For a moment, Wei Changtian's mood instantly relaxed a lot.

He didn't ask Wei Zhaohai how he knew, nor did he continue to hide it, but nodded with a smile.

“That .

Grandpa, this is my fault.”

“I was afraid that you would not allow Liu Shi to marry into the family after you knew, so I let her”

“Alright, it's already like this, what's the point of dwelling on right and wrong.”

Smiling wryly and waving his hand, Wei Zhaohai interrupted: “The three of the Left Sect Master also know about this matter, but I have talked to them privately, and I think they should not refuse to give the Wei family this face.”

“I have also made arrangements for Su Xiu, and she will not say another word about this matter.”

“And on your side, I don't know how many people know Liu Shi's identity, but you must be more careful.”

“Kill those who should be killed, and urge those who should be urged, in short, don't let this matter spread out.”

“Since everyone in the world knows that you have taken Liu Shi as a concubine, we can only do this for the time being”

“.”

After Wei Zhaohai finished speaking, his face was full of helplessness as he was "cleaning up the mess for the younger generation".

Wei Changtian was overjoyed and immediately stood up with a "噌".

“Thank you, Grandpa, for your accomplishment!”

“Grandson will definitely be very careful in the future and will never let this matter leak out!”

Obviously, after learning that Wei Zhaohai had no intention of separating the couple, Wei Changtian's hanging heart was finally relieved.

But before he could relax for long, Wei Zhaohai sighed heavily again.

“Alas, don't be happy too early.”

“Changtian, Liu Shi can stay in the Wei family, but she must not get pregnant with your child.”

“If you don't listen to advice and hide it from me and really have children .

Don't blame me for not reminding you, even if this child is born, I will never allow him to be named Wei, nor will he ever enter the Wei family genealogy.”

“Unless you don't recognize me as your great-grandfather, otherwise there is no room for discussion on this matter.”
