I'm the villain in the book

chapter 83
Wei Changtian was almost awakened by the noise outside when he was ugly.

Dazedly sat up from the bed, put on his coat and shouted.

"Wang Er!"

"Squeak~"

The door was gently pushed open, and the dark shadow who stepped into the room replied in a low voice, "Young Master, I'm Zhang San."

"Oh, I'm used to it."

Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead and asked indifferently, "What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"It's the magistrate Wang who is here."

"What is he doing here in the middle of the night?"

"There is a mountain bandit slaughtering village outside the city."

Zhang San is different from Wang Er, there is not so much nonsense, basically he answers whatever Wei Changtian asks.

"The magistrate Wang has come to ask Mr. Liang to send troops to suppress the bandits."

"So coincidentally?"

Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, but he was also a little sober: "Liang Zhen promised him?"

"not yet."

Zhang San shook his head: "Master Liang doesn't care about this, it's mainly because Miss Liang Qin wants to help."

"However, Master Cao is very opposed to it. The two are arguing outside at this time."

The Master Cao mentioned by Zhang San is called Cao Shu, who is the supervisor who "escorted" Wei Changtian to Shuzhou this time.

He must be afraid of extracurricular problems, so he is not willing to give Liang Zhen assistance.

"I gonna go see."

Wei Changtian thought for a while, and finally put on his clothes and rolled over and got out of bed.

I never imagined that one day I would also be able to enjoy the protagonist treatment of "accidents can happen on the way".

I just don't know whether the harvest or the crisis is hidden behind this.

……

When I walked to the lobby of the inn, everyone was there.

The thin county magistrate was standing beside Liang Zhen eagerly, his forehead was flushed red, and there was even blood oozing out.

Obviously, he should kneel and kowtow just now to beg Liang Zhen to send troops.

Regardless of the county magistrate's ability, but for the people to achieve such a degree, this love for the people has nothing to say.

"...Miss Liang, Lord Wang, I am not that cold-blooded person. It is also very uncomfortable to see the people of Zhongling County die in vain under the knife of bandits."

On the other side, Liang Qin seemed to have just finished speaking, when it was Cao Shu's turn to express his opinion.

He looked at Liang Qin, who was looking at him indignantly, and explained in a deep voice, "But I have a heavy responsibility for this trip. If something happens because of meddling..."

"How can saving lives be called meddling!"

Liang Qin responded quickly, and immediately grasped the wording problem in Cao Shu's words.

"Master Cao, you are an official of the imperial court, so you would actually say such a thing!"

"I……"

Cao Shu was dumbfounded for a while, and Liang Zhen just saw Wei Changtian walking down the stairs at this time, and quickly interrupted:
"Nephew, woke you up?"

"No, I just didn't fall asleep either."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "I heard that some bandits massacred the village?"

"Yes."

Liang Zhen said helplessly: "Master Wang wants to ask us to send troops to drive away the bandits."

"This kind of thing..."

Wei Changtian smiled: "Uncle Liang, your idea is, what's so noisy?"

"Oh, I'm not... nephew, what do you think it should be?"

Liang Zhen looked at Liang Qin, and Wei Changtian immediately understood what he meant.

It seems that Liang Zhen is inclined to help by the way.

He was not interested in taking the initiative to take people to suppress the bandits, but since it was just in time, he still couldn't bear to ignore it.

From this point of view, the temperament of the father and daughter is similar.

Wei Changtian didn't express his position immediately, but first looked at the thin magistrate and asked, "Master Wang, how many bandits are there? How strong are they?"

"According to the official who came back to report, there are about a hundred people, and their strength is no more than sixth-rank!"

The thin county magistrate saw that Liang Zhen seemed to attach great importance to the young son's opinion. Although he didn't know the reason, he fell to the ground again with a "pop", leaning over and kowtow tremblingly.

"I beg your son to persuade Master Liang to save those people!"

"I am so grateful, I am so grateful!"

"..."

Someone around immediately went to help, but Wei Changtian still stood there and glanced at Liang Zhen again.

Seeing that the latter nodded slightly at him, he really meant to help, so he said solemnly: "Master Wang, I can help, but I have to clarify some things for Uncle Liang in advance."

"As Mr. Cao said, we have a heavy responsibility for this trip, and we must not lose the big because of the small."

"So if those bandits are too sturdy, and we are powerless at that time... I hope Lord Wang doesn't blame it."

"No! Definitely not!"

The thin county magistrate almost burst into tears when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed at several people.

Wei Changtian didn't care about him, but walked quietly to Cao Shu's side and said in a low voice, "Master Cao don't have to worry that I will take the opportunity to escape or something. The big deal is that I'll go with you later."

"..."

Hearing that, Cao Shu looked a little better. He looked at Wei Changtian, who had been very calm and composed since he appeared, and suddenly shook his head and sighed:
"Master Wei, the court said that you killed Liu Xiang on impulse. I believed it before, but now I don't believe it even if I kill you..."

……

……

I have to say that Liang Zhen's more than [-] personal soldiers are indeed well-trained. From being called up to getting dressed up and going out of the city, it took only a stick of incense.

It's just that almost half an hour has passed since the official messenger came back to report the letter.

In general, this time is enough for a group of bandits to slaughter a village.

And it is.

When Wei Changtian and others rode their horses to the village where the incident occurred under the guidance of the officials, the entire village no longer screamed and screamed, only the sky-high flames that pierced the darkness.

Obviously, they were a step too late after all, and the villagers were basically dead.

But fortunately, the group of bandits hadn't had time to leave, and just happened to bump into everyone face to face.

I don't know if it's because the information of these mountain bandits is too obscured, or because they have long been rampant and domineering, they have created an illusion that "I am invincible in the world"... In short, when they saw Liang Zhen's blue armored soldiers, not only did they not escape, but they were big. Roaring and raising his knife, he rushed over first.

"Bandit! Die!!"

Liang Qin was already furious, and he was the first to beat the horse into the bandit group, and instantly chopped three or four people to the ground.

And these gangsters were also brave, and they didn't even care about their injuries, they got up and waved their knives in an attempt to counterattack.

However, before they could slash Liang Qin with their knives, he was stabbed by several spears, and then he was stepped into the dust by the dense horseshoes, and he lost his life.

"kill!!"

"Ugh!"

"Protect Miss!"

"Bang bang! Ding ding!"

Soon the two groups of people were killed together. Wei Changtian did not step forward, but immediately followed Liang Zhen and Cao Shu in the back, silently observing the situation on the field.

Liang Zhen's martial arts are too high to be too lazy to take action personally; Cao Shu has not practiced, so he can't take action.

As for Wei Changtian...he was seeking stability and was unwilling to take action.

This is not to kill monsters, there is no advantage to say, and it may put oneself in danger.

He is not interested in such thankless things.

Besides, in the current situation, he doesn't need him at all.

Although this group of bandits is indeed not afraid of death, the Qingjia Army, which is superior in all aspects of realm, equipment, and tactics, has an absolute advantage. indivual.

If this continues, it is estimated that all the bandits will be beheaded here in a short while.

The sound of the blades colliding became smaller and smaller, and the screams of pain became thinner.

Looking at the few bandits who were still falling one after another, Liang Zhen and Cao Shu both looked relieved.

Only Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly with a thoughtful expression.
