I'm the villain in the book

Page 353

Remnant Soul's voice was a little puzzled, but also a little discouraged: "The old man just wanted to try you again."

"Just four years, I'll treat you like a kid."

"Okay, this is what you don't want."

Wei Changtian's expression remained calm, as if he really didn't care about the four-year lifespan.

"Since this is the case, can the senior pass the order to Kuilong's people?"

"Okay, you go out and come back after a stick of incense."

"it is good."

Wei Changtian knew that Remnant Soul didn't want him to see how he delivered the message, so he turned around and left the dark room.

And not long after he left, the patterns on the Xuantian Sword began to flicker regularly.

Long long, short short, long long long...

Judging from the flickering frequency, this communication method is very similar to the "simple code" Wei Changtian made up himself, and it is obviously a "code" that uses a combination of long and short signals to transmit information.

As such a mysterious and ancient organization, it is normal for Kuilong to have its own set of "communication codes".

After all, many major powers in this world have "secret codes" established using similar principles, and most of them are kept secret. If there is no "code comparison table", there is no possibility of deciphering them.

So even if Wei Changtian saw this scene with his own eyes, it was impossible to know what it represented.

But if it were a senior telegraph operator in the 20s in his previous life, he might feel familiar.

Because the "coding" used by Kuilong was actually the one that was widely used at that time.

......

......

Half an hour later, Wei Changtian, who went in and out again, finally settled his mind.

The remnant soul has sent an order to five second-rank masters belonging to Kuilong, telling them to rush to Fengyuan immediately, and then quietly take Li Wutong to Shuzhou when the time is right.

The surnames of these five people, where they are now, the remnant souls didn't say anything, and Wei Changtian didn't ask either.

Anyway, as long as you can do things, it doesn't matter even if the other party is Li Huaizhong.

Of course, this is definitely impossible.

After all, Kuilong prohibits members from participating in secular power struggles, so there is a high probability that these people will still be "people from the rivers and lakes" like Wu Tianqing.

"..."

"Master Chen, find some reliable people to clean up the inside."

Stepping outside, Wei Changtian casually said to Chen Bo: "Tell them, no matter what you see, you are not allowed to say anything."

"Your Majesty understands."

Chen Bo looked pale, nodded and then said another thing: "By the way, my lord, someone from the palace just came and said that His Majesty wanted to see you."

"Huh? Did you ever say why?"

"It is said that Dali's envoy quietly arrived in Shuzhou City today, and is now in the palace."

Chen Bo replied truthfully: "Accompanying him is the Chief Assistant of Kuixing Academy, and...Shen Ran."

At the Spring Dragon Poetry Conference more than half a year ago, Shen Ran almost humiliated the entire Daning poetry circle by himself, so Chen Bo naturally knew such a number one figure, and even more knew that he had a "confrontation" with Wei Changtian.

So now when this name is mentioned again, Chen Bo can't help feeling a little nervous.

However, Wei Changtian's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

"Oh? Shen Ran is here too?"

Wei Changtian was only slightly taken aback, as if he had no other feelings other than a little surprised: "Then what is Your Majesty calling me into the palace for?"

"It seems that the chief assistant of the Kuixing Academy wants to see you."

Chen Bosheng was afraid that Wei Changtian would not know the details of this person, so he immediately added: "My lord, this person's name is Gui Pei'an, and he is a second-rank scholar in literature and Taoism. It can be said that everyone in Dali knows it. Many scribes of the Three Kingdoms of Daning and Dafeng honored him as saints."

Gui Pei'an, a great Confucian of the second grade, a saint.

Remembering a few key information, Wei Changtian nodded.

"Okay, I see."

"To put it simply, Gui Pei'an has a prominent literary name, and his strength is second rank, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Bo asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to prepare a car to enter the palace?"

"Ah."

Wei Changtian didn't hesitate much.

Although it can be expected that once I see Gui Pei'an, I will have a high probability of answering the other party's cloud-covered questions.

But since a second-rank sage came all the way, it would be too embarrassing to see him.

More importantly, Wei Changtian still wanted to chat with Shen Ran.

Ning Yongnian and Bai Youheng, the sons of heaven, can "get together" together, so I should also find a son of heaven as a helper... Is there anything wrong with this?

......

At dusk, Wei Changtian stepped into the palace under the rays of the setting sun, and went straight to Ning Yuke's study.

Although it is called a study room, it is actually a large hall, named "Fengming".

"The grass people have seen His Majesty."

Smiling at the corner of her mouth, Ning Yuke, who was sitting in the first place, cupped her hands. Wei Changtian turned his head and looked at the people sitting on the left and right sides.

In addition to the two civil servants of the Shu Kingdom, there are three remaining, undoubtedly the "messenger group" of Dali this time.

A genuine envoy wearing Dali's official uniform.

A white-haired old man in a white robe and a fairy-like crane bone.

And Shen Ran, whose temperament is completely different from that of Chunlong Poetry Club.

Staring at them for a moment, Wei Changtian bowed his hands politely to the three of them.

"Lord Li, return to Shoufu, Mr. Shen, and Wei Changtian."

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei, I have admired your name for a long time..."

The envoy surnamed Li immediately got up with a smile and returned the salute, which was inevitably another burst of politeness.

As for Gui Pei'an, he waited until the two of them finished talking nonsense before slowly standing up with Shen Ran's support.

"Mr. Wei, I have long heard that you have the posture of a jade tree facing the wind, a martial arts that is unmatched in the world, and a talent for poetry in seven steps. Now I only know it after seeing you... these rumors are not all false. "

What the fuck?

Is this old man so good at boasting?

Undoubtedly, Wei Changtian was "unexpected" by Gui Pei'an's first sentence.

He always thought that the world-famous Confucian scholars must be the kind of rigid and boring old scholars, but he didn't expect this person's mouth to be so sweet.

Good guy, this touting is too comprehensive!

"Hey, it's the first assistant's misrepresentation."

With a dry cough, Wei Changtian was about to return a few compliments in return.

But before he could say something like "You are famous all over the world", Gui Pei'an suddenly shook his head again.

"Oh, it's just... Mr. Wei, don't blame this old man for speaking directly."

"Actually, after I saw you just now, I felt a little disappointed in my heart."

Chapter 406

Disappointed?

What do you mean?

It's a set of play to suppress the desire to raise first, right?

Gui Pei'an's words made Wei Changtian not understand what the old man wanted to say for a moment.

But he didn't ask, just smiled lightly:

"Returning to Shoufu, the boy is just a playboy, and the rumors in the market cannot be trusted."

"Many people still say that I am a murderous, heinous bastard."

"Oh?"

Seemingly surprised by Wei Changtian's reaction, Gui Pei'an stroked his long beard lightly, and asked meaningfully: "So I don't know Mr. Wei is this kind of person?"

"What kind of person? Killing people without blinking an eye?"

Wei Changtian shook his sleeves and nodded naturally: "That's right, I have indeed killed many people."

"Ha ha......"

Gui Pei'an's expression changed slightly, and after a short pause, he sighed slowly: "Killing a person who deserves what he deserves is not considered heinous."

"The old man believes that Mr. Wei is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

"innocent?"

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "I don't know that all the people I kill are innocent. Killing people is just a means for me to achieve my goal... I believe you can understand what I mean."

"Oh, back to Shoufu, let's sit down and talk."

"..."

After saying a word, Wei Changtian turned around and sat down on the right hand side of Ning Yuke, and Gui Pei'an also sat back in the seat with Shen Ran's support.

In just a few dozen breaths of time, a dozen sentences of dialogue.

The first meeting between Wei Changtian and Gui Pei'an, a second-grade Confucian, kicked off in this slightly weird atmosphere.

......

The golden color of the sunset gradually faded from the sky, and the thin dusk floated up.

Hundreds of lanterns were lit in Fengming Hall, and the maids exchanged new tea for everyone.

For a period of time after that, although the two sides kept chatting, they didn't say anything too practical.

The envoy of Dali handed over the letter of credence, which was Emperor Dali's congratulations on Ning Yuke's becoming king.

As a vassal state of Daning, he congratulated the anti-king of the suzerain state.

Da Li's operation undoubtedly showed an attitude, that is——

I want to oppose it too!

Of course, although the attitude is this attitude, it is not very good to say when Da Li will take specific actions.

At least judging from the current situation, this is more of a "spiritual support", otherwise the Dali envoy would not have come secretly.

Ning Yuke naturally knew it well, so she didn't show too much enthusiasm for this "written support" method, she just said a few polite words casually, and at most wrote a reply letter to finish the job.

But in any case, the envoy of Dali has completed the task so far.

And then it will be the highlight of Gui Pei'an and Shen Ran.

"Return to Shoufu."

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Wei Changtian looked for an opportunity and asked straight to the point: "His Majesty said that you have something to tell the boy, but I don't know what it is?"

"Hehe, it's really nothing important."

Taking a sip of hot tea, Gui Pei'an replied with a smile: "Shen Ran almost made a big mistake at the Spring Dragon Poetry Meeting in Shuzhou before. Fortunately, he was able to get away with Mr. Wei's help."

"This time, the old man specially brought him here to express his thanks to the young master."

Um?thank?

Wei Changtian couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

Yes, there was indeed an inner guard who wanted to kill Shen Ran last time, but he was stopped by himself, which gave Shen Ran a chance to escape.
