Chapter 307: The Old Lover Is Gone
Dragon bird.
If Wei Changtian hadn't just inexplicably thought of the plot in the original novel, he would have almost forgotten You Jia's identity.
Looking back at all the plot-related characters I came into contact with after traveling through time, apart from Xiao Feng, there were only two who truly stood on the opposite side of me.
One is Lu Jingyao, and the other is Longque.
If you think about it carefully, the former has never really done anything bad to himself.
But that is not the case with Yujia.
Her motives were not pure when she approached him at first. Later, in order to achieve her goal, she even used Xu Qingwan to perform a "sacrificing herself to save others" drama.
It was this action that caused Xu Qingwan to be seriously injured and lie in bed for more than ten days.
If we were to choose the person who holds the greatest importance in Wei Changtian's heart, that person would definitely be Comrade Xiao Xu.
So Wei Changtian would never forgive this matter.
What's more, the last time Li Huaizhong gave You Jia a false order, asking her to kill him, the latter's answer was affirmative.
Wei Changtian had no doubt that if he had not taken the initiative to attack You Jia that night at the Tianluo Sect, the latter would definitely watch him drink the poison and then stab his heart with a knife. Of course, Wei Changtian knew that You Jia was now completely devoted to him.
But what the dragon bird did is still a fact that cannot be erased.
So, what should we do in this situation? Although in many martial arts novels, "a smile to end all grudges" is always a free and heroic thing; in the mouths of many life mentors, "tolerance and forgiveness" should be the necessary qualities and mind of a gentleman.
However, Wei Changtian was not willing to be so "free and easy" nor was he willing to be such a "gentleman".
He has his own way of doing things and his own logic.
The principle is very simple -
If I hadn't guessed Yujia's identity, would I still be alive now? Obviously, the answer to this question is very clear.
Therefore, it was also clear what Wei Changtian was going to do next.
"Sir!"
In the room, the sobbing became louder and louder, and the thin shoulders trembled more violently.
You Jia threw herself into Wei Changtian's arms regardless of everything, and her tears soaked the latter's clothes in an instant, as if she wanted to cry out all the emotion and guilt in her heart.
Wei Changtian gently stroked the back of the woman in his arms, with no expression on his face.
"Woo woo woo"
“Woo woo.”
I don't know how long it took, but the crying gradually stopped.
You Jia raised her head with tears in her eyes, and a hint of "tenderness" appeared in Wei Changtian's eyes at this moment.
"Okay, it's better after crying."
Wei Changtian smiled and said softly: "Let's talk about how to deal with this matter."
"well"
You Jia hurriedly wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said with red eyes: "I will listen to you in everything."
“.”
Without responding to this, Wei Changtian moved back and put some distance between himself and You Jia before continuing.
"Miss You, it was Li Huaizhong who sent you the order last time, and I was able to find a way to fool him."
"But this time it's the Dragon Guards who are delivering the message, so it won't be as easy to deal with as last time."
"We only have two options right now."
"First, we must completely break off relations with Ning Yongnian and kill all of those dragon guards."
"Second, temporarily maintain your status as a Dragon Guard, but you may have to return to the capital for a while."
Maintain your identity and return to the capital.
You Jia was not stupid and immediately understood what Wei Changtian meant.
He acted out a "failed assassination" so that Ning Yongnian wouldn't notice anything unusual about his identity, but the price was that he would no longer be able to stay with Wei Changtian.
"Sir, what do you want me to do?" You Jia asked in a low voice.
"Of course I don't want you to go back to the capital. After all, it's too unsafe there."
Wei Changtian "praises before suppressing", and although his words sound nice, his expression is very "conflicted".
"It's just, alas."
A sigh, neither big nor small.
But it was this sigh without any substantial content that made Youjia make up her mind instantly.
"Sir, I am willing to return to the capital!"
"As long as my identity is not exposed, the conflict between the Wei family and the imperial court will not come to a life-and-death struggle!"
"Besides, I am in the Dragon Guard and may be able to help you a little!"
"Sir, you have done so much for me."
"Just let me help you this time!"
“.”
Youjia's voice was extremely firm, indicating that she had fully thought through the "interests" behind this matter.
Wei Changtian, who had finally achieved his goal, felt a little indescribable at this moment.
"Miss You, have you decided?"
"yes!"
You Jia nodded seriously, and even comforted Wei Changtian in a somewhat "self-indulgent" way: "Sir, I will be fine, just rest assured."
"In that case, let's do this."
Wei Changtian took a deep breath and said, "Miss You, if you encounter any problems after returning to the capital, you can go to Li Huaizhong."
"Also, I will find a way to get you out of the Dragon Guards as soon as possible."
"Well, I believe you, sir."
The tears on Youjia's face had not yet dried, and her eyes were shining with genuine trust.
She wanted to have a good chat with Wei Changtian in the little time left before they parted.
But before she could say anything, she saw a small jade box suddenly appear in front of her, with a black pill the size of a fingertip lying quietly in it.
"Miss You, take this pill."
“.”
"Yeah, okay."
It was night, midnight.
When several guards outside Wei Changtian's house screamed and broke the doors and windows, and the sound of fierce fighting suddenly resounded throughout the princess's mansion, everyone in the mansion didn't know what was happening for a moment.
They rushed to the "crime scene" as soon as possible, and saw the mess in the house and Wei Changtian with a very unhappy face.
"Master Wei, what's wrong?!"
Li Wutong immediately rushed over and asked nervously, "Is there an assassin?!"
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded, his tone gloomy: "It's Youjia."
"Miss You?!"
Everyone was horrified. They probably never expected that the beautiful woman who had traveled with Wei Changtian was actually a spy.
A guard leader quickly asked: "Master! Where did she escape to?!"
"East."
"Okay! Sir, don't worry, we will definitely capture this man!"
“Swish, swish, swish!”
As they were talking, dozens of figures disappeared immediately, obviously going to hunt down Youjia.
There were about a dozen guards left, and they were probably afraid that something unexpected would happen to Wei Changtian again.
After what happened tonight, they will all be punished tomorrow.
Looking around vigilantly, many people actually felt quite helpless.
After all, the security level of the princess's mansion has been raised to the maximum, but who would have thought that the assassin was someone close to Wei Changtian?
"Master Wei, you..."
Li Wutong walked to Wei Changtian with some concern, wanting to comfort him.
However, the latter just waved his hand, then turned around and walked back to the inner room alone.
He turned around, closed the door, and opened his palm, revealing a tattered little sachet.
This was what Youjia stuffed into herself at the last moment before "escaping".
Unlike the sachets worn by adults, this sachet is very small, with a peach blossom embroidered on the front and the word "佳" embroidered on the back.
This item was mentioned in the original book, saying that it was the only thing left to Youjia by her parents, and also her most precious thing.
In the original plot, You Jia died for Ning Yongnian, but she never gave the sachet to the latter until the end.
I didn't expect it to be in my hands now.
Alas. It is difficult to exchange sincerity for sincerity. This may be Youjia’s fate.
Looking at the full moon outside the window, Wei Changtian remained silent for a long time.
He always felt that he had done nothing wrong, but it seemed as if he had done something wrong.
At this point, there is no going back. All we can say is that You Jia's love, whether for Ning Yongnian or for herself, was ultimately misplaced.
A glance from one person is so precious in life, while a thousand gold pieces are so worthless in the past.
Therefore, the human heart is eternal, but the person with the heart cannot be seen.
The next day.
“Boom boom boom~”
"Master Wei, it's me."
"Are you busy?"
"Can I come in?"
“.”
After knocking on the door gently a few times, Li Wutong stood at the door and called out a few words in a low voice.
However, there was no movement in the house.
Li Wutong hesitated for a long time and wanted to leave first and come back later.
But she was really worried, so she bit her lip and slowly pushed the door open, and then she happened to meet the eyes of Wei Changtian who was walking towards the door.
"Wei, Master Wei, are you okay?"
"I am fine."
Wei Changtian asked with a squinting look: "Princess, do you know the significance of knocking on the door before entering someone else's room?"
"ah?"
Li Wutong was stunned: "Yes, what is it?"
"If the person in the room doesn't respond, you shouldn't go in again."
As Wei Changtian spoke, he walked back to the table and sat down, casually flipping through the Yama file.
"you!"
Being criticized again, Li Wutong subconsciously wanted to defend himself.
But when she saw Wei Changtian's "haggard" look, she still held back all her dissatisfaction, and tried to speak softly in the most gentle tone: "Then, then I'll come back later. If you don't respond, I won't come in."
"No."
Wei Changtian raised his head and interrupted, "If you have something to say, just tell me."
"oh oh!"
Li Wutong quickly walked a few steps closer, observing Wei Changtian's reaction while whispering: "Well, we didn't catch the thief last night."
It’s better not to catch it.
After all, Dragon Guard is the top special service organization in Daning. Besides, You Jia and I had already arranged an "escape" route. How could we be caught by you so easily?
Wei Changtian was very satisfied with the result, but he still had to pretend.
"An assassin was able to leave safely after carrying out an assassination in the capital of a country."
"You guys are really good at Dafeng."
“.”
Faced with such sarcasm and ridicule, Li Wutong still chose to "endure".
"Yes, I'm sorry, but the night watchmen will continue the search. I believe the thief will be caught in a few days!"
"Then I'll wait."
Wei Changtian responded casually, lowered his head and read a few more pages of the file. Seeing that Li Wutong still had no intention of leaving, he asked coldly:
"Princess, do you have anything else to say?"
"I'm fine, but I'm worried that something might happen to you."
Li Wutong murmured softly, and then said with sincere concern: "Master Wei, I know you must be feeling bad right now."
"Father always said that if you have something, you shouldn't keep it to yourself. You will feel better if you talk about it."
"You, you can tell me if you want."
Li Wutong "was kind-hearted" and decided to temporarily serve as Wei Changtian's tree hole, but unexpectedly the latter did not appreciate it at all.
"I don't want to."
“.”
After doing this again and again, Li Wutong finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Humph! Who cares about you?"
"I'm leaving! You stay by yourself!"
"Bang!"
Li Wutong walked away angrily with a loud slam of the door, while Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and went back to the inner room, sitting opposite Chu Xianping who had not come out.
"Young master, Princess Wuping cares about you very much." Looking at Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping said with a smile.
"Brother Chu, I didn't expect you to be able to joke."
"I'm not kidding."
Chu Xianping put away his smile and reiterated seriously: "Sir, the princess does care about you."
“.”
Looking at Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian was silent for a while, then waved his hands weakly.
"Let's not talk about this."
"Send a message to Tongzhouhui later and ask them to send someone to tell Li Huaizhong about what happened here, so that he won't let it slip to Youjia later."
"Well, I will do it today."
Chu Xianping nodded, then asked, "Master, have you let Youjia take the Puppet Pill?"
"Um."
"That's good."
Chu Xianping breathed a sigh of relief: "I was worried that you would think it was unnecessary."
"I'm always cautious about this kind of thing."
Wei Changtian shook his head first, then paused and asked, "Brother Chu, do you think You Jia might betray me?"
"It depends on what you want her to do."
Chu Xianping didn't even think about it and quickly answered: "If it's just a small thing like transmitting information like the boat meeting, I guess it won't happen."
“But if it’s something big.”
"What's a big deal?"
"For example, killing Ning Yongnian."
“.”
After hearing this example, Wei Changtian's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Brother Chu, if I really need Youjia to do this one day, do you think she won't do it?"
"Yes, she definitely won't do it."
".Really?"
Wei Changtian didn’t know where Chu Xianping came to this conclusion, but he didn’t quite agree with it anyway.
Chu Xianping obviously saw what he was thinking, so he gave him another word of advice.
"Sir, it's not just about killing Ning Yongnian."
"Including all matters directly related to Ning Yongnian, don't put too much trust in Youjia."
Everything related to Ning Yongnian. Does Chu Xianping distrust You Jia so much?
"Okay, I understand."
Without arguing, Wei Changtian just nodded, then changed the subject and discussed other things with Chu Xianping.
The two's discussion about Youjia came to a temporary halt.
At this moment, You Jia, who had turned back into Dragon Bird, had just left Fengyuan City with several dragon guards.
Several of them were dressed as vendors, and there was nothing unusual about their words and actions. They were currently protecting several horse-drawn carriages full of goods and were slowly moving eastward.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the shadows of the people were very short.
Youjia wanted to turn around and take another look at Fengyuan City, but her head stopped halfway.
She was afraid that she would burst into tears if she saw it, so she didn't dare to look.
So, my sight finally stopped at a clump of weeds on the side of the road.
There are dots of red in the messy green.
I don’t know what kind of unknown, humble wild flower it is.
2 in 1, Happy New Year everyone!!
