#824 - concession
From the initial reluctance, to the later decision to ruthlessly kill, and now with the appearance of Qin He, Wei Changtian's mindset regarding whether or not to kill Chu An has changed several times, and now it has returned to a state of hesitation.
He ordered Zhang San to "investigate" the matter in front of Qin He, and then comforted her for a while.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin He finally left with many backward glances.
After she left, Yang Liushi, who had seen everything, smiled and asked:
"Husband, was that Chu An captured by you?"
"You saw through it."
Shaking his head helplessly, Wei Changtian did not hide it, and admitted with a wry smile: "Yes, that's what I was doing just now."
"Is Chu An just a guest of Gongsun Yan? What are you doing capturing him, husband?"
"I not only captured him, but I'm also planning to kill him."
Wei Changtian did not directly answer Yang Liushi's question, but paused and asked:
"Liushi, if you could gain a hundred, no, a thousand years of cultivation by killing an ordinary person who has no grievances with you, would you kill them?"
"."
Silently looking at Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi, although she didn't know the truth, already understood the relationship between him and Chu An.
"Husband."
She didn't hesitate for too long, and soon walked to Wei Changtian's side, answering softly:
"I don't know either."
"Is that so? Then I'll ask another way."
Wei Changtian asked very seriously: "Do you think I should kill him?"
"I still don't know."
Yang Liushi answered softly again: "No matter what you choose, husband, I will think it's the right thing to do."
"You're good at evading the question..."
Smiling, Wei Changtian didn't continue to ask.
He knew that Yang Liushi said this to relieve his psychological burden.
And he himself now felt much more relaxed.
Indeed.
This question may not have a correct answer.
There is a reason to kill, and there is a reason not to kill.
Forget it, I'll think about it again...
Early the next morning.
Getting up early, Wei Changtian was preparing to take Li Zimu to An Wang's mansion today to discuss the details of the "rebellion" with Gongsun Yan.
Just as the two were passing through the lobby of the inn, they saw Qin He, who had been waiting there for an unknown amount of time.
Compared to last night, she had changed into clean clothes, but her face was still pale, probably because she hadn't slept all night.
"Gong, Young Master."
Seeing Wei Changtian, Qin He immediately greeted him, her eyes full of nervousness.
Wei Changtian shook his head calmly and said softly:
"Miss Qin, nothing has been found yet."
"Don't worry, focus on healing your injuries. I will tell you immediately when there is news."
"Okay, okay..."
Qin He gave a deep bow, hesitating to speak: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master."
"Yes, I have something to go out for now, Miss Qin, please go back to your room quickly."
The tears that she had tried so hard to hold back instantly surged out again. Qin He supported the corner of the table, trying to steady herself, staring motionless at the empty doorway.
Outside the window, in the sky, the azure sky was filled with undulating clouds, and the newborn sun spared no effort to pour out its myriad rays of light.
Half an hour later, Wei Changtian arrived at An Wang's mansion, and didn't leave until after noon.
In the morning, he and Gongsun Yan had basically finalized the subsequent plan.
Overall, it was not complicated.
After Lu Yuansong's death, there are now four people involved in the struggle for the throne: the First Prince, the Third Prince, and two princes surnamed Lu.
Wei Changtian will kill all four of these people within ten days, and what Gongsun Yan has to do is to immediately take over their forces after these people die.
In addition, the latter must also get the 300,000 surrendered soldiers to recognize him, this prince of a different surname, and finally, holding the soldiers, he will ascend Dragon Head Mountain, forcibly ascend the throne, and establish a new dynasty.
"By the way, Young Master Wei."
At the side door of An Wang's mansion, Gongsun Yan, who was seeing Wei Changtian off, suddenly remembered something again.
"Now, many people in the palace have guessed that you are the assassin who killed Lu Yuansong, and there may be some actions afterwards."
"Why don't you move into my mansion for a short stay? I don't have much ability, but at least I can help you block a lot of trouble."
"No need."
On the other side, Wei Changtian shook his head and smiled: "It's good if they dare to come, I want to see what they can do to me."
"Yes, I understand."
"Well, Your Highness, please stop here, I'm going back."
"Young Master, take care."
"."
Facing the dazzling sunlight, the carriage quickly left the Wang mansion, but instead of returning to Zh坞, it went straight to the restaurant where Chu An was being held.
At the same time, in the underground secret room of that restaurant, Chu An, who had already woken up, was lying on the stone bed in a daze.
The dim stone room was silent, with only a torch crackling in the corner.
Chu An's acupoints were sealed, so he couldn't move at the moment, and he didn't know where he was now.
He only knew that he was not dead.
So... why didn't that mysterious person kill him?
Recalling the last scene before he fainted last night, Chu An understood that the person's strength was very terrifying, and wanting his life was only a matter of a moment.
But that person didn't kill him, but imprisoned him here.
Did he want to get something from his mouth?
Or was it not yet time to kill him?
More importantly, how is Qin He now?
At the thought of Qin He, Chu An's breathing began to gradually become heavy.
He struggled to mobilize his inner strength to summon the Candle Dragon within his dantian, but all the meridians were sealed, and no inner strength could reach the dantian.
His face flushed red, Chu An tried for an unknown amount of time, until he was exhausted.
Looking at the stone bricks above the stone room, he was a little desperate, feeling that he should not be able to see Qin He again in this life.
But at this moment, a loud noise suddenly exploded beside his ear without any warning.
"Boom!!"
Gravel splattered, and the entire stone room seemed to be shaking.
Chu An's eyes widened suddenly, wanting to see what had happened, but he couldn't move, only knowing that someone seemed to have smashed the stone door and rushed in.
"The person is here!"
Amidst the chaotic sounds, Chu An felt someone rushing to his side, and after a moment, the blood flow throughout his body was restored.
At this point, he could finally turn his head to look at the person who came.
"It's, it's you?!!"
His face was full of surprise, Chu An never thought that the person who saved him would be that servant who he had only seen once, the one who was with Wei Changtian.
"Young Master Chu, follow me!"
Grasping Chu An's arm, Zhang San pretended to be anxious: "We'll talk about other things after we get out!"
"Okay!"
Understanding that Zhang San was here to save him, Chu An didn't have time to think too much, and immediately got up and followed Zhang San out.
Smoke filled the air, and corpses lay scattered.
The scene outside the stone room was very "chaotic", looking like it had just experienced a fierce battle.
And the two of them rushed out of the underground passage, out of the chaotic restaurant, and soon disappeared at the end of a dead alley.
At this time, the street where the restaurant was located was in chaos, and many pedestrians were fleeing without knowing why.
Only a carriage remained motionless on the side of the road, and behind the opened curtain, a person was quietly watching everything.
"I'm sorry."
"Let you see each other one last time."
"I can only compromise to this extent."
