I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 515: Big Gamble

Anzhou, Jiunan County.

As the "front line" on the border with Shuzhou, the 60,000 remnant soldiers who escaped from Niutoushan are now stationed in this small county, waiting for the next order from the capital.

In order to prevent the Shu army from launching a sneak attack, Jiunan County has been closed for several days, and no one is allowed to enter or leave except the scouts who are investigating outside.

Under the setting sun, the several feet high city wall was smeared with bright red, and there were faintly visible spear points shaking behind various defensive equipment.

Today's Jiunan County is like a hedgehog with a needle blown upright, curled up alone in the vast southwestern plain of Daning, lingering on its last breath.

Even though the guards in the city have already heard the news of Yangzhou's surrender, and even though the scouts have detected that the Heavenly Dog army has gone to Yangzhou, they still dare not take it lightly.

Because the psychological shadow caused by the Battle of Niutoushan to this group of remnants and defeated generals was too great.

They were afraid that the movement of the Heavenly Dog army was just a cover, that Wei Changtian was up to some tricks, and that the scene on Niutoushan would happen again.

So in the past ten days or so, they have never slacked off, and they are always ready to meet the enemy.

It's just that the Shu army never showed up.

On the contrary

"Report!"

In the gate tower of the south city, a soldier in yellow armor hurried to an officer dressed as a school lieutenant and reported loudly:

"A rider outside the city is approaching the city gate!"

"A ride?"

The captain frowned, and immediately got up and walked out of the tower, standing on the edge of the wall and looking into the distance.

The dust is like a thread, and there is indeed a fast horse galloping towards this side, and the tiny figure looks very lonely in the empty world.

Because the distance was too far, the captain couldn't see the appearance of the person coming, but he could tell that it wasn't his own scout.

Could it be an outsider who doesn't know the current situation in Jiunan County?

"arrow!"

The captain let out a soft drink, and soon a soldier handed him a bow and an arrow.

He immediately raised his bow and set his arrow sideways, and the blood-red sunset slid iron light on the spine of the arrow. When the bowstring was full, the arrow pointed at the rider from afar.

"boom!"

With a sound, the refined steel feather arrow shot out with the momentum of splitting gold and cracking stones.

Although the man on horseback is still a hundred feet away from the city wall, the captain is already at the sixth rank, and the arrows he shoots can reach this distance.

If the rider is just an ordinary person, then this arrow is enough to kill him.

but

"alert!"

"The visitor is not good!"

When the lieutenant saw that the arrow burst and fell with just a wave of the person coming, he shouted immediately.

Obviously, this person is also a practitioner, and his Cultivation Base is not low.

"Clatter!"

The sound of armor rubbing against each other resounded, and hundreds of spears immediately leaned against the wall, and more than a hundred archers behind them drew their bowstrings to full strength.

There was only one person on the opposite side, and it made such a big fanfare on the city wall, which is enough to show how tense the mood of these soldiers these days.

However, the captain didn't order to attack immediately, he just frowned and looked at the figure that was getting closer, and whispered in his mouth:

"woman?"

He could see clearly when the other party waved his sleeves to block the arrow, it was indeed the wide sleeves that only women's long skirts have.

And as the other party got closer, his guess was quickly verified.

It is indeed a woman.

Longzhou, Longzhou City.

There are three men and one woman sitting in the guest room of an inn, and the expressions of the four are different.

Except for that woman, the temperament of the three men is somewhat unusual.

Especially the old man with half-white hair, he is even more imposing, even a beggar can tell that he is by no means an ordinary person.

But the strange thing is that such four people seem to prefer to be headed by the woman who has nothing special except her appearance.

"Master Qin, Mr. Shen, brother"

Looking at the three people on the opposite side, Xu Suisui said calmly: "Next, we will go to Folian Temple first. I have something to discuss with Abbot Hui'an."

"Huian."

Qin Zhengqiu nodded, and said with emotion in his tone, "The old man and him are old acquaintances, and we met once last year."

"At that time, the senior was accompanying Mr. Wei."

Xu Suisui smiled: "Miss You is also with me."

"."

If it was before the change, Qin Zhengqiu would definitely be shocked right now.

But now he is no stranger to Xu Suisui's "special ability".

"Yes, it was we who went together."

After answering, Qin Zhengqiu stopped talking, and didn't ask Xu Suisui why he was going to Folian Temple.

On the contrary, Shen Ran who was on the side noticed the information that the latter inadvertently revealed just now, and asked softly:

"Teacher, you said just now that we are going to Folian Temple first, where should we go after that?"

"."

Glancing at the setting sun outside the window, Xu Suisui smiled lightly and replied immediately.

"Go to Dafeng, Huailing."

Shu Kingdom, Shuzhou City.

"Young master, two things."

When Chu Xianping called Wei Changtian out of the "chess and cards room", the latter just shot Xu Qingwan again.

"Changtian, ten taels of silver."

Comrade Xiao Xu mercilessly stretched out his little hand to ask for the money she won in this game, and he didn't retreat in the slightest because the opponent was her husband.

"Okay, okay, I'd like to bet and admit defeat!"

Wei Changtian responded, while groping in the hidden compartment of the mahjong table, only to realize that own one hundred taels of "gambling money" had been lost.

"Cough, Qin'er, put the mat on for me first."

"Oh, alright!"

"Sister Xu, I'll give you the money."

"alright."

"."

Behind him, Liang Qin obediently gave Xu Qingwan twelve taels from his little gambling capital, and the latter unceremoniously put the silver into his already full secret compartment.

After the deal was over, the two daughters knew that Chu Xianping had something to say to Wei Changtian, so they didn't start a new game, but turned their heads and asked:

"Changtian, shall we wait for you?"

"Brother Changtian, are you still playing?"

"Play! Wait for me!"

After glaring at Xu Qingwan, Wei Changtian followed Chu Xianping out of the room, his expression never reconciled and slowly becoming calm.

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, just now the fellowship sent a letter saying that Ning Yongnian had left for Huailing an hour ago."

"How soon will he be here?"

"Normal, ten days."

"Okay, I see."

Wei Changtian nodded: "What about the other thing?"

"Another."

Chu Xianping obviously hesitated for a moment, but in the end he lowered his voice and answered quickly: "Princess Wuping just appeared under the Jiunan county seat in Anzhou, and was then tied into the city by the defenders."

"."

"Ok."

This time Wei Changtian's reaction was a bit late, but his expression was still calm.

He just looked at Chu Xianping with the calmest eyes, and then said slowly in a tone without any ups and downs:

"Brother Chu, you will have to serve more snacks in Shuzhou in the near future."

"Ask Du Chang to withdraw the Heavenly Dog army from Yangzhou."

"Five days later, I'm going to Huailing."

"."

It was night now, but the mansion was brightly lit.

Chu Xianping's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood there in a daze as he watched Wei Changtian turn and walk back to the room, but he couldn't say a word during the process.

Go to Huailing.

What is the son going to do?

Could it be that he didn't want to fall into the passive position in the future, so he took the initiative to attack?

Since Ning Yongnian wants to use Li Parasol Tree to threaten the young master, then the young master is going to solve all this in advance?

Chu Xianping thought hard about Meditation for a long time, but he still couldn't guess what Wei Changtian was thinking.

In his opinion, if Wei Changtian was doing it for Li Parasol Tree, then there is no need to ignore him these few days.

So not for Lee Parasol Tree?

The more Chu Xianping guessed, the more he couldn't figure it out, but he knew that something big would happen to Huailing, and this event would most likely directly determine the fate of Dafeng, Daning, and the Wei family.

"Wow~"

The sound of mahjong tiles colliding came from the room again, mixed with Wei Changtian's half-joking yelling.

"Hmph! Wan'er, don't be complacent!"

"Look at how I just won back what I just lost!"
