I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

That night, Xu time.

Just after nightfall, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi walked out of the small courtyard after having dinner, preparing to go to Longshou Mountain to "test the sword".

Walk through the bamboo forest to the front hall of the inn.

Qin He, who was sitting in the hall to enjoy the shade, got up when he saw the two and asked with a smile:

"Master, madam, are you going out?"

"Yes, since I have come all the way, I have to go to the city for a stroll."

"In this case, you two might as well go to the West Market for a while. There should be a night market by now, and it's quite lively."

"Really? Then let's go and see how the customs and customs of Dahui are different from Dajue."

"Well, son, how about I go with you?"

"Hahaha, I appreciate the girl's kindness, but tonight we just take a look around and don't bother the girl."

"Okay, the young master and madam remember to be more careful. Now that the Holy Majesty has passed away and the new emperor has not been established, Yongding City is more or less peaceful."

"Thank you for reminding me, girl, we will definitely pay more attention."

"."

Standing in the front hall and chatting with Qin He, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi quickly walked out of the inn and got into an ordinary carriage.

A half-scarred crescent moon hangs obliquely on the east corner of the sky, the night is a little white, and the stars are like broken jade, thin and bright.

"Snapped!"

Zhang San, who was driving, waved his whip, and with a crisp sound, the carriage slowly drove into Yongding City, which was lit by thousands of houses.

Why did Wei Changtian go to Longshou Mountain tonight?

The reason he had already told Yang Liushi was to prepare a "meeting ceremony" for Gongsunyan.

And this "meeting gift" should be a few heads if nothing unexpected happened.

You must know that although Gongsun Yan is a prince, he is only a merchant with a foreign surname after all. Some people may not take him seriously, and even have disdain for his status.

Among them, the second prince Lu Yuansong was the one who looked down on him the most.

As the second prince of Dahui and a strong contender for the throne, Lu Yuansong not only has a surname of Lu, but also has a huge force under him.

More importantly, he and Gongsun Yan had had many business conflicts before.

Because of this, when Lu Hongji was about to confer the title of Gongsun Yanhou, Lu Yuansong was the first to jump out to oppose it, and almost messed up the matter with a large group of admonishers.

And this also made Gongsunyan have to pay a considerable price, so that Lu Hongji could withstand the pressure and not back down.

In the end, the throne was still sealed, and Gongsun Yan became the prince as he wished.

But the relationship between him and Lu Yuansong was completely formed, and the relationship between the two became more and more hostile afterwards.

Even Lu Yuansong once set up a plan to get rid of Gongsunyan, a thorn in his side.

Although it did not succeed in the end, it had raised the conflict between the two to the point of life and death.

Of course, in Lu Yuansong's opinion, he was definitely not the one who died.

After all, no matter how rich Gongsun Yan is, he is only rich, and he is undoubtedly far behind power and influence.

And for big shots at their level, money is already the most worthless thing.

In fact, Lu Yuansong's self-confidence is not wrong.

Subsequent facts have repeatedly proved that Gongsun Yan could not get any advantage in the fight with Lu Yuansong, and could only be passively beaten all the time, barely saving his life.

It wasn't until Lu Hongji died in Xinfeng, and Lu Yuansong no longer had time to take care of Gongsunyan's affairs in order to fight for the throne, that the latter was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

From this point of view, apart from those "direct competitors" of Lu Yuansong, Gongsun Yan is undoubtedly the one who is least willing to see the former sitting on the dragon chair.

In fact, in order to prevent Lu Yuansong from doing this, Gongsun Yan has already done many things secretly.

And now, Wei Changtian is ready to help him solve all this once and for all.

"Young master, we're here."

At the end of the Xu Dynasty, on the south side of Longshou Mountain, outside the tall red wall.

The long and tall red wall surrounds the entire Longshou Mountain. There is a neat road outside the wall, but there are few pedestrians, and the surrounding area is extremely quiet.

It can be seen that the people of Dahui are still quite afraid of this place.

After all, it is so important, if you encounter a few unreasonable soldiers who think that you are an enemy spy, you will not be able to speak clearly at that time, and you will lose your life in vain if you are not sure.

Therefore, if it is not really necessary to pass through here, otherwise the common people will often take a detour.

But Wei Changtian didn't care about these, and directly ordered Zhang San to drive the carriage to the base of the city wall, and then he and Yang Liushi got out of the carriage leisurely.

"Go to West Market and wait for us."

Glancing at Longshou Mountain, which was lit with lights in front of him, Wei Changtian waved his hand at Zhang San: "Remember to buy something casually."

"Yes, the villain understands."

Zhang San didn't say much, and drove away directly after answering a sentence, leaving only Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi standing in place.

The two didn't climb over the wall and enter the mountain immediately. Instead, they looked around to confirm their current location, and then took out a map for comparison.

After roughly figuring out the location of the "Changding Hall" where Lu Yuansong lived on the mountain, Wei Changtian put the map in his arms, looked at each other with Yang Liushi, and each took out a black cloth to cover their faces.

In the moonlight, neither of them spoke, they just nodded at each other.

At the next moment, the two Daoist figures suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a gust of wind passing by the vermilion wall, and then merged into the vast night.

After half an hour.

Back to the palace, Changding Hall.

It was already late at night, but the main hall was still brightly lit, and six or seven people were discussing matters in it.

Half a month has passed since Lu Hongji's death, and the undercurrent of the struggle for the throne has also been surging for half a month, and now it is on the eve of breaking out.

As a strong contender for the next Dahui emperor, Lu Yuansong certainly had no leisure in the past few days, and he didn't even sleep for two hours every day.

However, there was no trace of fatigue on his face, and even his followers did not dare to slack off.

After all, everyone knows what this big fight means.

If you win, everyone can rise to the top.

If you lose, everyone will die.

To put it bluntly, for these high-ranking court officials, they are betting their lives on choosing the right person.

"Your Highness, the Eldest Prince left the palace yesterday to go to Ling Yunzong, and has not returned yet."

"Kang Kang has been very close to Mr. Song of the Ministry of Officials recently. Today, I wanted to meet Mr. Song, but he refused because he was unwell."

"Your Majesty's body has not been found yet, and the minister has sent additional people to Fengyuan"

"King Feng still refuses to see our people, and there is no news about how to deal with the 300,000 surrendered soldiers. It should be still waiting and watching."

"."

While the candles were flickering, the counselors reported to Lu Yuansong one after another the latest situation in various aspects, and at the same time gave their own judgments.

At this point in the battle for the throne, there are two things that will directly affect the final result.

One is who can find Lu Hongji's body first.

Second, who can negotiate with Xinfeng to redeem the 300,000 surrendered soldiers.

If someone can do these two things, it will undoubtedly have an advantage.

It's a pity that Lu Yuansong's side has not had the slightest breakthrough on this so far.

But fortunately, judging from the current situation, the others were the same, and they couldn't get online with Xu Suisui.

The new Empress Feng didn't meet anyone, and she didn't reveal any relevant news.

As if waiting for something.

"Feng Yuan shouldn't have to waste his efforts in vain."

After thinking for a while, Lu Yuansong, who was dressed in white, shook his head and said, "Xu Suisui obeys Wei Changtian's advice, the latter must have made her do so."

"How about Wei Changtian? Can you see him?"

"Returning to Your Highness, our people have already arrived in Shuzhou City, but they were turned away after several visits."

A counselor immediately replied: "And Wei Changtian hasn't shown up since he returned to Shuzhou City."

"Didn't show up?"

Lu Yuansong frowned, and immediately ordered: "Send more people! We must see Wei Changtian first at all costs! The emperor's body may be in his hands!"

"yes!"

The counselor responded in a deep voice, and was just about to say something else.

But at this moment, a voice that seemed to be a smile but not a smile suddenly came from not far away.

"Your Highness, I wonder what you want from me?"
