#694 - Buy One Get One Free
【Mind's Eye: A special divine ability that allows you to see the degree of hostility of all creatures towards you within a certain range. Its effectiveness depends on the user's cultivation level. It cannot be purchased and can only be obtained through specific methods.】
Once the Mind's Eye technique is activated, a heart-shaped mist will appear above the heads of all living beings within a certain range.
The whiter the mist, the more friendly the person's attitude towards the user.
The redder the mist, the more hostile the person's attitude towards the user.
It turned out that Tang Chen relied on this divine ability to quickly screen out some suspicious people from the eighty thousand soldiers, and then used Mind Reading to further confirm, eventually finding more than a hundred spies in the army overnight.
“...”
After taking a look at Tang Chen and closing the system interface, Wei Changtian did not speak immediately.
“Mind's Eye” can be found in the system, but “Mind Reading” is not available. This undoubtedly means that if he kills Tang Chen, the special divine ability he obtains will most likely be the former.
Hmm...
Of course, he also understood that if he wanted to obtain this divine ability, he would have to kill Tang Chen himself.
Killing someone is not difficult, but now is not the time.
After all, as the hostage for the exchange, if Tang Chen dies now, then Chu Xianping will probably not be able to return, and the peace agreement reached between the two countries will be immediately invalidated.
Besides, Li Zimu might still have some tricks up her sleeve.
So wait a little longer, no hurry.
“Young Master Tang.”
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian finally opened his mouth unhurriedly:
“Since you are so straightforward, then I will not beat around the bush.”
“From today onwards, I will no longer interfere in the matter between Li Zimu and Chu Xianping, provided that Li Zimu does not let down Brother Chu.”
“I wonder if you are satisfied with this?”
“Thank you, Young Master!”
Clasping his hands, Tang Chen bowed very solemnly to Wei Changtian.
“I believe that Young Master is definitely not the kind of person who goes back on his word and will definitely do what he says!”
“Of course, I will do what I say.”
Curling his lips, Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment, and then said faintly:
“However, Young Master Tang, to be honest, I still think that you will not necessarily lose to Chu Xianping.”
“I even hope that you will be the one who marries Li Zimu in the end. Do you understand what I mean?”
“I understand.”
Tang Chen smiled and shook his head: “However, I have made up my mind, so let it be.”
“I know that Young Master still has many things to deal with, so I will not bother you any further.”
“Farewell.”
“...”
Clasping his hands again, Tang Chen looked as if he would never change his mind.
Seeing this, Wei Changtian did not say anything more. After responding with a “No need to see me off,” he watched Tang Chen turn around and walk out of the quiet room.
“Creak~”
The door closed gently, and the sound of footsteps outside the door became smaller and smaller.
Casually picking up the teacup, Wei Changtian recalled everything that had just happened in his heart.
No matter how he tried to persuade him, Tang Chen was determined to “self-sacrifice” to fulfill Li Zimu and Chu Xianping.
In this way, Li Zimu's previous plan should be in vain.
Tsk tsk tsk, she told me this morning that as long as I was willing, she could make Tang Chen stay in Da Ning and work for me.
Now it seems that this is not possible.
I don't know if she has any other tricks up her sleeve.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about these things.
Whatever will be, will be...
“Knock.”
After taking a sip of tea and placing the teacup on the table, Wei Changtian got up and was about to leave the quiet room.
However, at this moment, the door was suddenly knocked, and then a guard walked in.
“Young Master Wei, the Da Jue envoy requests to see you.”
“...”
An incense stick later, still in this quiet room, Wei Changtian quickly met a middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura.
The Da Jue envoy, with the documents of the Zhan Shi Fu, came to see him openly.
Then his purpose is undoubtedly only one.
“Lord Zhang.”
After a simple greeting, Wei Changtian directly asked with a smile: “You have come this time for Yan Huanwen?”
“Indeed.”
The middle-aged man clasped his hands and said solemnly: “Young Master Wei, now that the two countries have ceased fighting, and our army has already withdrawn from Tianshan one after another, then should you also release him?”
“Release him...”
Wei Changtian looked at the man meaningfully and nodded.
“That's natural, but Lord Zhang, please don't be impatient. This matter will have to wait another half a day.”
“Tomorrow morning, I will definitely return Yan Huanwen to you safe and sound. What do you think?”
“Tomorrow morning?”
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: “I wonder why Young Master cannot immediately hand over His Majesty to this humble one? Is there anything else to say about this?”
“There is nothing to say.”
Wei Changtian shook his head: “I just think that doing so, Lord Zhang, and your Highness the Prince, might be more satisfied.”
“Is that so?”
Faced with such a cloudy, unclear answer, the middle-aged man not only did not have any doubts, but even breathed a sigh of relief.
“Since that's the case, then I will wait another half a day.”
“Oh, right, Young Master Wei, this humble one has another request.”
“Hmm? Lord Zhang, please speak.”
“Yes, this humble one has heard that a妖女called Su Xiu is now also in Young Master's hands...”
The middle-aged man said with a sinister smile in a low voice: “If possible, please also release this妖女together.”
“Young Master Wei, His Highness the Prince is willing to pay your country an additional two hundred thousand taels of silver, as a price to buy this woman's life.”
“I just don't know if you can be merciful.”
“...”
Release her together.
Be merciful.
The middle-aged man deliberately strengthened the tone of some words, and Wei Changtian understood the meaning.
“Su Xiu, right.”
Nodding, Wei Changtian did not bargain any further.
Anyway, he was originally planning to kill Su Xiu, so this two hundred thousand taels of silver can be said to be earned for nothing, and there is no point in asking for more.
“Okay, then I will give your Highness the Prince some face and release this woman together tomorrow morning.”
“Thank you, Young Master!”
The middle-aged man did not hesitate. After achieving his goal, he got up and prepared to leave.
“Then this humble one will take a step first and come to bother Young Master again tomorrow morning.”
“Hmm, Lord Zhang, remember not to sleep too early tonight.”
Wei Changtian said with a smile: “Maybe something big will happen?”
“Hahaha, then this humble one will not sleep tonight!”
“That's best. I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible.”
“This humble one is always waiting for good news!”
“...”
Coming and going in a hurry, in less than a quarter of an hour, this genuine Da Jue envoy left the state government office and returned to the inn where he was staying, waiting for the big event that was about to happen.
He was of course sent by Yan Huaiqing.
However, his purpose was definitely not to urge Wei Changtian to release people as he said.
On the contrary, he was here to urge the latter to kill people quickly.
On the other hand, the answer given by Wei Changtian was also very clear.
That is, Yan Huanwen will die tonight.
Oh, and now there is also a Su Xiu.
