#728 - Not killing the envoy?

Casually kill three people.

Soon, Zhang San relayed Wei Changtian's exact words to Liang Zhen.

And when the latter heard this sentence from the messenger, his surprise was no less than Zhang San's just now.

"General Liang, what's wrong?"

Opposite him, six envoys of varying heights and builds exchanged glances, and then one of them asked in a deep voice, "When will Young Master Wei arrive at Huailing City?"

"Well, he should arrive before nightfall."

Liang Zhen turned to look at the speaker, his expression complex: "Please be patient, everyone."

"Hmph, what airs he puts on!"

With a cold snort, the purple-robed old man who spoke should hold a high position. Usually, others were the ones waiting for him. He probably had never waited for anyone like this.

So, even though he had an important mission, he couldn't help but complain.

And although the other five didn't say anything for the time being, they probably had similar thoughts in their hearts.

After all, they had been waiting in Huailing for a long time. Normally, whether Wei Changtian was willing to talk or not, he should have replied clearly.

But the latter didn't even give a response, making it clear that he didn't take them seriously at all.

Such a contemptuous attitude would make anyone feel dissatisfied.

Especially these figures who usually held high positions and great power!

"Since that's the case, then we'll wait for another half day!"

"Forget it, gentlemen. We've already waited for three days, so what's another half day?"

"Yes, we must prioritize the overall situation."

"Hmph, we prioritize the overall situation, but what about Wei Changtian? I think he doesn't want to talk at all!"

"That's right! Does he really think that our Great Qian and Great Hui are afraid of him?!"

"Oh, calm down, calm down, everyone."

"..."

Some were indignant, some were angry, some were calm, and some were advising. For a time, the six people present said a lot.

But no matter what each person's attitude was, at least they all remembered the purpose of their trip.

So, they just cursed a few times and let it go. No one really dared to say "Let's not talk."

However, just because they didn't dare, didn't mean that Liang Zhen didn't dare either.

"Clang!"

"Everyone, if you don't want to wait, then you can roll back now."

Slowly drawing out the saber at his waist, Liang Zhen said coldly, "Don't be like a bunch of women, only knowing how to use your tongues."

"You!"

The six didn't expect that Liang Zhen would dare to humiliate them like this. Immediately, someone angrily pointed at Liang Zhen, wanting to say something.

"Haha, if that's really the case, then please kill this old man first!"

Calmly taking a step forward, the purple-robed old man was not a cultivator, but he was not afraid of Liang Zhen at all.

It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of death, but he was certain that Liang Zhen would never dare to kill him.

"What? General Liang, aren't you going to kill?"

"If you don't dare to kill, then put your saber away as soon as possible."

"Don't be like a reckless man, only knowing how to be brave."

"..."

If you don't want to wait, then hurry up and roll back.

If you don't dare to kill, then put your saber away.

Only knowing how to use your tongues.

Only knowing how to be brave.

Clearly, the purple-robed old man was "using their own methods to deal with them."

Such a satisfying method naturally made the other five feel great joy in their hearts, and they all opened their mouths, wanting to echo a few sentences.

However, the next moment, when a head suddenly flew high into the air, they were as if someone had suddenly grabbed their necks, their eyes widened instantly, and they couldn't say another word.

"Dare?"

With a cold laugh, Liang Zhen swung his saber again, smashing the head that had not yet landed at the feet of the five.

At the same time, after hearing the movement in the room, the soldiers outside also broke in, surrounding the five envoys.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The sound of sabers being drawn from their sheaths became one. These soldiers didn't care who you were. In an instant, they placed their sabers on the necks of the five.

And only at this time did someone among the latter finally come back to his senses, staring at Liang Zhen with wide eyes, shouting in disbelief:

"You, you dare to kill an envoy from another country?!"

"In a war between two countries, envoys are never killed! How dare you kill Lord Dong!"

"You, you, you..."

It could be seen that although this person was shouting very loudly, he was extremely afraid in his heart. In the end, he stammered, not knowing what to say.

Liang Zhen was also "considerate." Seeing that he was speechless, he directly swung his saber again.

"Puchi!"

The saber light flashed, and then the second head fell to the ground.

Two heads were scattered in the pool of blood, and the eyes that had no life left still had a strong look of astonishment.

"..."

He killed as he said, without hesitation, and without any reason.

After Liang Zhen's two saber strikes, the remaining four were completely frightened. At this time, no one dared to say another word.

However, since Wei Changtian had ordered to kill three, then three must be killed.

"It's you then."

Locking his gaze on the person who had just cursed Wei Changtian fiercely, Liang Zhen didn't even give him a chance to speak, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third saber strike.

"Thump!"

"..."

The third head fell, and the headless corpse swayed and fell to the ground.

In the silent room, Liang Zhen returned his saber to its sheath, glanced at the only three remaining envoys, and said coldly:

"Gentlemen, please wait here for a moment."

"Young Master Wei will come to see you after he arrives at Huailing City."

"Someone!"

"Serve tea to the three gentlemen!"

After he finished speaking, Liang Zhen turned and walked out of the room without looking back.

And since he had ordered this, not long after, a guard really brought three cups of hot tea.

It was just that no one dealt with the three corpses. They were just lying in the room, the smell of blood pungent.

"Creak~"

Soon, the door closed, and all the soldiers had withdrawn to the outside of the room, leaving only the three envoys in the room to "wait."

They looked at the corpses on the ground, and then looked at the closed door. Everyone's face was pale, and one of them was even a little unsteady on his feet.

"This, what should we do next?"

After a long while, someone finally said tremblingly, "That Liang Zhen definitely wouldn't dare to kill people like this. I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's Wei Changtian's intention behind it."

"Lords, shouldn't we think of a way to at least save our lives?!"

"Lord Pan is right. We should think carefully."

Another person also echoed stammeringly, "This Wei Changtian acts so unruly. When he really comes later, perhaps it will be difficult for us to survive."

"The two of you must remember! At that time, never make him unhappy!"

"But what if he asks about some confidential matters? Should we tell him or not?"

"Naturally, we can't tell him. At that time, we'll just insist that we don't know!"

"Reasonable, reasonable, gentlemen, let's agree on this!"

"Definitely, definitely! Matters of life and death, we will naturally not treat them as child's play!"

"Good, good..."

"..."

After communicating with fear and trepidation, the surviving three envoys stopped talking, and each found a place away from the corpses to sit down.

They looked at each other, and then very tacitly shifted their gazes away.

They didn't seem to dare to look at the scene in the room, and soon they all lowered their heads.

However, at the moment when they lowered their heads, the panic in the eyes of the three disappeared without a trace, replaced by a touch of阴冷.

Being able to reach such a high position, no one is incompetent.

They all understood that Wei Changtian would most likely not kill all three of them. At the very least, he would leave one alive to send a message back to the Qian and Hui countries.

So, the most important thing now is not how to "sincerely cooperate" and escape from Wei Changtian's hands together.

But how to save their own lives first and become the one who survives in the end.

Then, they undoubtedly had to prove their "value" in front of Wei Changtian.

Their minds were running rapidly, and the three were now trying their best to think about what information they could offer.

And at this point, Wei Changtian's purpose of "killing three people first" had been achieved.
