I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 669: Puppet Show

At the end of Shenshi, dusk, Tianshan.

"Ah!!! daddy fights with you"

"Pfft!"

"."

Corpses intertwined in the valley, and blood flowed like rivers.

Broken spears, pools of red and black blood, overturned horses, and discarded banners filled the bottom of the valley in piles, and the dark dust after the war hovered over the gorge, lingering for a long time.

As the last Ji Guo soldier who refused to surrender staggered and fell, the battle that lasted all day finally came to an end.

It is not so much a war as it is a siege.

No matter in terms of numbers or preparations, Ji Guo was much weaker than Dajue, and fell into an extremely passive state from the beginning.

If they were fighting on the plains, they might be able to fight and flee, and they could escape some of them no matter what.

But it's a pity that this is in the Tianshan Mountains.

Therefore, a total of 200,000 people have nowhere to go, and there are only two choices before them——

Surrender, or fight to the death.

Judging from the results, Ji Guo's soldiers were quite bloody, and more than a hundred thousand people chose to fight to the end even though they knew it was impossible to fight.

Correspondingly, there were more than 100,000 corpses in this valley.

If the loss from Dajue was added, the total would be almost 200,000.

In one day, nearly 200,000 people died in battle.

You must know that neither side has a "weapon of mass destruction" such as black powder, so one can imagine the tragic extent of this battle.

However, although the fight was fierce, the ending was not surprising.

In other words, under the absolute crushing of the troops, there can be no surprises.

After all, Dajue still captured or wiped out all the soldiers and horses of Ji Guo's expedition this time, clearing the biggest obstacle for the next annexation of the latter.

On the other hand, when the news reached Wei Changtian's ears, he had already arranged a plan to execute Yan Huanwen.

"Okay, that's it, let's make arrangements."

In the State Yamen Chamber, Wei Changtian clapped his hands and stood up.

"At present, the Tianshan Mountains have finished fighting, and Dajue's army will retreat northward in a short time."

"Since Yan Huaiqing is so obedient, we can't be too disrespectful to Giving face, and we should get rid of Yan Huanwen as soon as possible."

"Anyway, basically everything he knows has already been said, so it's useless to keep it."

"Any more questions?"

After scanning the crowd, Wei Changtian prepared to leave after seeing that no one had raised any questions.

But Liang Zhen took two quick steps to come to him, and whispered:

"Chang Tian, ​​Miss Li and Tang Chen have been wandering around the city today."

"Walking around?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback when he heard the words: "What did they do?"

"It's strange that it's strange here. They didn't do anything serious all day, just drink tea, watch a play or something."

Liang Zhen explained the situation with a puzzled face, and it was obvious that he didn't understand what Li Zimu was doing.

But Wei Changtian already vaguely understood something.

Good guy, a high-end beauty trap?

Tsk tsk tsk, this woman Li Zimu must have been a good catcher in her previous life.

"Where are they now? Haven't gone back yet?"

"Not yet, the secret whistle just came to report that he went to a restaurant to drink."

"Okay, I see, the people who told us don't care about them."

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Oh, let Li Zimu come to see me tomorrow."

"it is good."

Liang Zhen responded, and watched Wei Changtian walk away slowly, but he was still confused.

Why does it seem that Chang Tian already understood Miss Li's intentions?

So what is Miss Li going to do?

Did she think that as long as she ate and drank with Tang Chen, the latter would speak up?

If this is the case, then the Ministry of Criminal Justice doesn't have to work so hard to interrogate the prisoners, it just needs to be served with good food and drink.

Weird.

On the other side, south of Liangzhou City.

Just when Liang Zhen was scratching his head and scratching his head thinking hard about Li Zimu's motives, the latter was sitting with Tang Chen in the private room of a restaurant called "Yuemanlou" and exchanged drinks.

Although it was not night yet, the two had already drank a lot.

Pedestrians are crowded outside the window, and the setting sun in the sky is like blood.

Li Zimu looked at Tang Chen with his chin propped up, his cheeks were very red, and his eyes were a little blurred.

Although Tang Chen was somewhat drunk, his expression was quite normal.

"Miss Li, you are already drunk."

Gently moving the wine glass in Li Zimu's hand a little farther away, he persuaded very sincerely: "You have never practiced, and drunkenness is the most likely to hurt your body, so you should not drink it."

"I'm not drunk"

Li Zimu muttered, seeing that the own wine glass was "stolen", he reached out to "grab" it back.

But I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, both of them wanted to grab the wine glass, so their hands were stuck together by coincidence.

"."

Like an electric shock, both hands were withdrawn abruptly, leaving the empty wine cup shaking in the ambiguous air.

After trembling a few times, the wine cup finally stopped shaking.

At this time, Li Zimu also whispered in a rather complicated tone:

"Young Master Tang, are you caring about me?"

"I"

The simple question made Tang Chen stunned.

He looked away in embarrassment, organized his words for a long time, and then replied falteringly:

"We are friends, so naturally we don't want to see you."

"Don't talk so much!"

Suddenly, Li Zimu's voice became louder and interrupted angrily, "Are you caring about me?"

"This"

"Should be, it should be."

"."

The smell of wine is tangy, and the voices of diners outside are noisy.

I don't know if it's because the environment is not quiet, or because Tang Chen's voice is a little soft, but his words are not very clear.

But Li Zimu heard it clearly.

I saw that she first smiled happily, then lowered her head a little lonely, and murmured softly:

"Master Tang, thank you."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, you are actually the first person who cared about me."

"."

A murmur without too many ups and downs, but the desire for protection in Tang Chen's heart was almost overflowing.

He raised his head in surprise, and wanted to ask something, but he couldn't ask after all.

On the contrary, after a moment of silence, Li Zimu poured himself another glass of wine, drank half of the glass, and then took the initiative to say:

"Mr. Tang, don't you want to know my origin?"

"Then let me tell you now."

"."

A new moon rises in the east, and the setting sun finally disappears on the horizon, leaving the last glow in the sky.

Across the street from Yuemanlou is a two-story teahouse, hung with a dilapidated green front, very inconspicuous.

However, there was a man performing a puppet show in front of the teahouse, and many people were watching.

Pulling the strings like flying, pulling the slightly rough wooden man up and down, sometimes waving the long knife in his hand as if killing the enemy, and sometimes kneeling on the knees as if begging for mercy.

"Hey! Shameless villains slashed at me"

"Grandpa, spare your life! Grandpa, spare your life! It's a villain to have Eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai"

Combined with the lifelike dubbing of the couple, the scene of "a hero who failed in his righteousness and begged for mercy from the gangster" came to life, causing everyone to applaud and laugh.

It's just that they don't know whether they are applauding the wooden man or the puppet.

"."

"Let's play again!"

"Yeah! One more time!"

"Brother, let this wooden man kowtow to all of us! Let's be a master too!"

"Okay! Look at it!"

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha."
