I am the villain in the book

"Huh?!"

The instant they heard this voice, the group, who were already prepared for battle, couldn't help but be stunned and turned their heads sharply.

Behind the two Kui Dragon people, Chu Xianping, who had somehow climbed onto the city wall, didn't look at anyone, but stared expressionlessly at Wei Changtian, who was only a few steps away from the city gate, his eyes calm.

"Didn't you hear?!"

"Open the city gate!"

Another Kui Dragon person shouted in a low voice, his tone an unquestionable command.

The black-clad elder, who had regained his senses, hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Open the city gate!"

“. . ."

"Rumble!!"

Since he's a rebel, why do you open the palace gate for me?

In other words, Wei Changtian's purpose in coming to Dragon Head Mountain today might just be "to come to Dragon Head Mountain."

Regardless of whether there's a fight or not, the moment Gongsun Yan swaggered through this palace gate, his purpose was already achieved.

In this situation, it would be better if they fought to the death and were defeated, at least they would have an explanation, showing their attitude of resistance.

But Chu Xianping chose to "concede."

Yes.

In this way, conflicts can indeed be avoided, and everyone can live.

But on the other hand, when these people of theirs don't dare to resist when facing Gongsun Yan and Wei Changtian, who would be optimistic that Lü Yuanjin can win in this battle for the throne?

Isn't this equivalent to directly "surrendering"?

"Young Master Chu."

Frowning and staring at Chu Xianping, the black-clad elder asked in a deep voice, "Why do you do this?"

“. . ."

Glancing at the black-clad elder, Chu Xianping didn't answer, and soon shifted his gaze back to the bottom of the city wall.

"You!"

The black-clad elder's expression changed when he was ignored, and he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it.

After a few breaths, he just sighed helplessly, and then also turned his head to look at the situation below the city wall.

And the facts proved that the development of the matter didn't deviate too much.

After Wei Changtian used three sentences to make Chu Xianping open the palace gate, Gongsun Yan's carriage in the distance also slowly moved, slowly driving towards the city wall under the escort of hundreds of retainers.

The black flag embroidered with the word "An" swayed in the wind, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the road was clearly audible.

Looking at this scene, the people on the city wall had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, they were somewhat glad that a fight hadn't broken out.

But on the other hand, they were somewhat unwilling to just watch Gongsun Yan enter Dragon Head Mountain.

This contradictory psychology filled everyone's hearts... except for Chu Xianping.

From beginning to end, he hadn't said a word, and even his expression hadn't changed, as if he was completely detached from the matter.

However, just as Gongsun Yan's carriage traveled all the way from afar to the front of the palace gate, and then entered the city cave, Chu Xianping suddenly straightened his body and shouted out a word loudly, contrary to everyone's expectations.

"Kill!!"

“. . ."

"Kill!!!"

"Protect the Prince!!!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Clang clang clang!"

From tension, to calmness, and then to chaos.

After Chu Xianping's rather twist-filled "Kill" resounded, the city wall and below instantly fell into a world of swords and shadows.

The dozen or so top-tier experts, including the black-clad elder, only froze for a moment, and then laughed loudly and charged towards Wei Changtian, who was surrounded by countless long swords.

At the same time, the two Kui Dragon experts went straight for Gongsun Yan's carriage.

Obviously, Chu Xianping wasn't admitting defeat, but was waiting for the best opportunity.

And his target wasn't Wei Changtian, but actually Gongsun Yan.

That's why he deliberately opened the city gate, in order to prevent Gongsun Yan from escaping.

As long as the black-clad elder and others could hold back Wei Changtian, the two Kui Dragon experts could quickly capture Gongsun Yan alive.

After that, the initiative would be firmly in their hands.

“. . ."

Standing on top of the city wall, watching the melee below, Chu Xianping's gaze remained on Wei Changtian's side.

He didn't show any smugness, and his expression remained very serious.

It could be seen that Chu Xianping was still extremely wary of Wei Changtian's methods, and didn't dare to be careless for a moment.

But it seemed that his worries were a bit unnecessary.

Long swords flew, figures flashed.

Again fighting against many, although Wei Changtian didn't fall behind, and had already killed two third-rank experts, he temporarily couldn't escape the encirclement.

On the other side, the experts brought by Gongsun Yan were obviously no match for the two Kui Dragon people, and with the help of the Imperial Guards, they would probably be able to capture Gongsun Yan alive soon.

The situation was clearly looking good, but Chu Xianping's heart became more and more uneasy.

Because he hadn't seen the true dragon that had shown its power several times before appear.

This undoubtedly meant that Wei Changtian wasn't using his full strength.

But why? Why wasn't he using his full strength?

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Chu Xianping couldn't understand.

Until Gongsun Yan's carriage was smashed to pieces, and a Kui Dragon person grabbed the man in brocade robes and flashed straight towards the city wall, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not a substitute, it was indeed Gongsun Yan.

"Stop!"

Waving his hand suddenly, Chu Xianping, who had already achieved his goal, shouted loudly, and the battlefield instantly returned to calm.

Thousands of Imperial Guards all disengaged from the battle, vaguely surrounding the surviving Prince's retainers.

The black-clad elder and the other dozen or so experts also retreated, widening the distance from Wei Changtian.

More importantly, even Wei Changtian stopped, just standing there and glancing at Gongsun Yan, who had already been captured on the city wall, with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Smile?

What was he smiling at?

Without a doubt, this was definitely not a normal reaction after being "schemed against."

Moreover, not only that, after Wei Changtian recalled all the long swords into the Star Blade scabbard, he even shouted towards the city wall—

"Brother Chu, good move!"

“. . ."

His pupils shrinking, Chu Xianping at this moment couldn't understand where he had gone wrong.

But he really couldn't think of where the mistake was.

Gongsun Yan was indeed the real person, and now he was indeed in his hands.

As long as he wanted, he could take his life at any time, and then no one could compete with Lü Yuanjin... Wait!

Lü Yuanjin!!

Turning his head suddenly, Chu Xianping suddenly roared at the black-clad elder:

"Where is Lü Yuanjin now?!"

"This..."

The black-clad elder was stunned, and understood something in an instant, and hurriedly took out a piece of linked jade from his arms, presumably to determine Lü Yuanjin's safety.

And as time passed little by little, and his face turned pale little by little, the result was self-evident.

For a time, the city wall and below fell into a deathly silence.

However, Wei Changtian still maintained that calm appearance, and even looked at Chu Xianping from afar and sneered:

"Brother Chu."

"Why don't you guess what Liu Shi went to do?"
