I am the villain in the book

Soon, Wei Changtian and the other three settled down in "Bamboo Lodge".

By the time they had tidied up their luggage, it was already noon, so the group went to a restaurant on the street for lunch.

Walking in Yongding City, the four did not do anything as obvious as wearing masks, but they all changed their appearances to some extent.

Of course, compared to the face-changing techniques in web novels from his previous life, where even parents wouldn't recognize you, their appearances hadn't actually changed much. If it were someone familiar like Little Xu, they would probably recognize them at a glance.

However, as far as the common people of Da Hui were concerned, who had at most seen a portrait of Wei Changtian, they would undoubtedly be unable to equate the man dressed as a merchant with the "fierce and malevolent" "Wei Yama".

That's right, after Wei Changtian single-handedly repelled a million soldiers outside Fengyuan City, he gained the nickname "Yama" in both Da Hui and Da Qian.

Frankly speaking, this should be considered a form of "affirmation".

However, when he thought of Bai Youheng's Qi Luck Divine Beast "Gu Diao" also being called Yama, Wei Changtian always felt a little strange.

And so, after lunch, "Wei Yama" strolled around Yongding City with Yang Liushi, returning to the inn near dusk.

He didn't do too much on his first day in Yongding, and he didn't recklessly rush to Dragon Head Mountain.

After all, his purpose here was to destroy Da Hui, not to kill people.

And if he wanted to truly destroy Da Hui, he had to support someone with a different surname than Lü to become emperor.

Therefore, this required careful consideration...

"Young Master, our people have arrived."

As Zhang San led a robust man into the study late at night, Wei Changtian had just gone through the entire plan in his mind.

He looked up at the robust man, paused, and casually asked:

"Suspended Mirror Division? Or Zhan Shi Fu?"

"Less than two years."

"Alright, I'll ask and you answer. If you don't know, just say you don't know."

"This humble one understands."

"."

The quiet conversation echoed in the study, while the outside was silent.

Although this Zhan Shi Fu spy had been in Da Hui for less than two years, his "working ability" was acceptable. He could basically answer everything Wei Changtian asked.

And just as the two were talking in secret, in another room, Li Zimu was leaning by the window, staring blankly at the moon in the sky.

Perhaps she was thinking about something, because she didn't even notice Yang Liushi's arrival.

"What are you looking at?"

Walking slowly to the window, Yang Liushi chuckled: "So intently."

"Ah, Madam."

Li Zimu finally came back to her senses after hearing the movement, and lowered her head embarrassedly: "I wasn't looking at anything."

"Then you must be thinking about your lover?"

Yang Liushi covered her mouth and teased: "Young Master Tang or Young Master Chu?"

"."

Teased by Yang Liushi's words, Li Zimu's face turned red, and her voice became even softer.

"Ma-Madam is joking..."

"Hehehe, it seems I guessed right."

Yang Liushi shook her head happily: "Zimu, if you were to choose again now, would you still choose Chu Xianping?"

"I..."

Her eyes stagnated, and Li Zimu's expression was somewhat dazed.

She was stunned for a long time and didn't give an answer. Yang Liushi didn't say anything more either.

The two silently looked at the moonlight outside the window, their black hair swaying gently in the night breeze.

At the same time, outside the "Bamboo Lodge" Inn, Qin He, who was hanging up the closing sign, turned her head with a smile and looked at a man in blue clothes.

"What are you doing here so late?"

The moonlight was bright. Qin He glanced at the man and continued to busy herself, her tone somewhat coquettish.

From this sentence alone, it could be seen that the relationship between the two should be very familiar, even intimate.

If Wei Changtian were here, he would definitely think that this man was Qin He's "lover".

However, judging from the man's clothes, he didn't seem to be very rich...

"I'm here to remind you to be more careful recently."

Reaching out to help Qin He hang up the closing sign, the man in blue lowered his voice and said: "The Emperor has passed away. The city may seem peaceful now, but in reality, there are undercurrents surging."

"You have to pay more attention to the guests staying at the inn. If there's anything wrong, tell me as soon as possible."

"Giggle, I think you've just been working by Prince An's side for too long, and your courage has shrunk."

Qin He's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she teased with a smile: "Where are there so many bandits? Besides, I'm doing my business peacefully, what could happen?"

"Although that's what you say, it's always better to be careful."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, the man in blue didn't persuade her further, obviously not wanting to argue with Qin He.

At this moment, the latter patted the dust off her skirt and casually asked: "Want to sit inside for a while?"

"I'm not going."

The man in blue waved his hand: "I just came to see you. Prince An still has things to do."

"Hmph, I knew it."

Qin He snorted softly, feigning dissatisfaction: "Go ahead, go ahead, I won't delay your important business."

"Then I'm leaving..."

The man in blue replied in a deep voice. Although his tone was obviously reluctant, he still quickly turned and disappeared into the distance of the street.

"Sigh..."

Watching the man leave, Qin He sighed softly, and then carried the small lantern back to the inn's lobby.

She sat at the table and did some accounting, then got up to pour tea.

Perhaps it was because of the words of the man in blue, even though nothing had happened, she couldn't settle down.

Seemingly peaceful, but in reality, there are undercurrents surging...

For some reason, when Qin He thought of this sentence again, she inexplicably thought of that Young Master Wei who had come to stay at the inn today.

She didn't know why, but she felt a faint unease in her heart.

"Glug, glug..."

Raising her teacup, Qin He took a big gulp of cold tea, but didn't feel any better.

She turned her head and looked at the only brightly lit little courtyard deep in the bamboo forest, hesitated for a long time, and finally picked up the lantern and walked towards it.

At the same time that she walked out of the door, Wei Changtian had just finished his secret talk with the Zhan Shi Fu spy.

"Young Master, then this humble one will go back first."

In the study, the robust man lowered his head and cupped his fist: "If you have any instructions, just call this humble one at any time."

"Hmm."

On the side of the desk, Wei Changtian first nodded, and then, as if he had remembered something, suddenly said:

"By the way, go investigate a person named Chu An."

"Chu An?"

The man was stunned: "Young Master, other than the name, does this person have any other characteristics?"

"No."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "You don't need to pay too much attention to this matter. It's best if you can find him, but it doesn't matter if you can't."

"Yes, this humble one understands."

"Hmm, go ahead."

"."

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the man quickly and quietly left the inn.

Wei Changtian, however, frowned and pulled up the system interface, wondering what he was thinking.
