Chapter 453 Chain of Suspicion
"You mean Master Wei?"
The sun was blazing brightly. Li Wutong looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled expression: "I asked you to come see my father?"
"yes."
The man nodded: "The master did instruct me to do so."
"But my father has been in a coma for half a month now."
Li Wutong frowned slightly: "Doesn't Master Wei know about this?"
"Young Master knows."
"So what are you going to do after you see Father?"
"Nothing."
“.”
Do nothing?
This somewhat nonsensical answer made Li Wutong squint his eyes.
The man obviously guessed what she was suspicious about, so he explained helplessly, "Princess, I am just following your orders, and I know nothing else."
"If Princess is worried that I might do something out of line, you can seal all my acupoints."
"I just need to see your majesty in person."
“.”
After taking a deep look at the man, Li Wutong asked no more questions.
She hesitated for a moment, holding the sachet, then turned and walked towards the back hall.
"Come with me."
A quarter of an hour later.
Accompanied by Zhu Tianhong and Meng Shi, the man successfully entered Li Qi's bedroom and saw the dying emperor with his own eyes.
His breathing was weak, his face was pale, and there was a strong smell of medicine all around him.
At the moment, Li Qi looked like he was about to die at any moment, but the man did not make any move. He just looked at him from a few steps away and then stepped back.
“.”
The man did not lie to Li Wutong. He actually didn't know why Wei Changtian asked him to come here.
"See Li Qi in person, and then come back."
These were Wei Changtian’s original words, and there was no extra explanation.
Even though the man was a little confused, he was just following orders, and now that the mission was accomplished, it was time to go back.
"Okay."
Nodding to Li Wutong, the man whispered, "Thank you for your help, Princess. I won't bother you any more and will leave right away to return to Shuzhou to report."
He traveled thousands of miles from Shuzhou to Fengyuan just to see Li Qi.
This matter is undoubtedly full of doubts, but Li Wutong and others can't guess what Wei Changtian is up to.
"This big brother."
After a moment's silence, Li Wutong suddenly asked, "Can you send a message to Master Wei right now?"
"Well"
The man was stunned for a moment before answering truthfully: "Princess, I am not qualified to communicate directly with you."
"What about Chu Xianping?"
Li Wutong asked, "Can you send a message to Master Chu?"
“.”
As a high-ranking figure in the Freemasonry, the man could of course contact Chu Xianping directly.
However After a brief hesitation, the man was about to reject Li Wutong's request and make plans after quietly reporting to Chu Xianping.
But before he could open his mouth, a slight noise instantly attracted everyone's attention.
This voice came from Li Qi's imperial bed.
An hour later, it was the You hour.
Shuzhou, Guanghan County seat.
At this time, there was still more than an hour before the official breakout. Liang Zhen had already arranged everything and would lead his men to attack from the southwest when the time came.
Although it is foreseeable that such a breakout battle will be very brutal, as long as Han Zhao does not betray, the outcome will not change.
So Wei Changtian was even in the mood to have dinner early.
“.”
"Gurgle~"
Sitting beside the rough wooden table, Wei Changtian picked up the porcelain bowl and drank a mouthful of porridge, then ate one-third of a steamed bun in one bite, looking completely calm.
Xu Suisui next to him was much more gentle and looked like he had something on his mind.
"Hello"
After hesitating for a moment, she leaned towards Wei Changtian with the bowl in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Are we going to break out and escape next?"
"What do you mean by escape? This is called strategic transfer."
Wei Changtian answered casually, and then asked, "How did you know?"
"That's what I guessed."
Xu Suisui looked worried: "I see that the soldiers in the city are all heading south."
"Oh, that's pretty clever."
Wei Changtian curled his lips and did not hide anything: "We are indeed going to break out from the south, just follow me later, don't run around."
"good"
Xu Suisui nodded slightly, but from his expression it was obvious that he had something else to say.
"What's wrong? You're hesitant."
Wei Changtian stuffed some stewed meat into his mouth: "If you have something to say, just tell me."
"you"
After hesitating for a while, Xu Suisui seemed to have finally made up his mind. He suddenly put down the bowl and quietly tugged at the corner of Wei Changtian's clothes.
"Come out, let's talk outside."
“.”
After glancing at Xu Suisui and then at Chu Xianping who was pretending not to notice the situation here, Wei Changtian also put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out of the room without saying a word.
"What's going on? Tell me now."
Stopping in a deserted corner, Wei Changtian's expression was calm and his tone was not as casual as just now.
Xu Suisui in front of him also had a calm expression, but there was always a hint of nervousness in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.
"Wei Changtian, can we escape?"
“.”
Staring at Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian did not give a direct answer, but slowly asked back: "Why are you asking this?"
"Don't misunderstand me."
Perhaps because he was a little nervous being stared at by Wei Changtian, Xu Suisui couldn't help but lower his voice.
"I just want to ask if you need my help."
"How can you help?"
Wei Changtian's pupils suddenly shrank: "Don't you think you can't practice?"
"I can't practice, but..."
Xu Suisui raised her head and bit her lip gently: "But I should be able to help you."
"Really? How can you help me?"
While speaking, Wei Changtian slowly took half a step back.
After Xu Suisui noticed his movements, he slowly took a small step back.
“.”
They were still facing each other, but the distance between them was twice as far as before.
Moreover, each of them was holding something in their hands hidden in their long sleeves.
Xu Suisui was still holding the Qingjue jade pendant.
And what Wei Changtian was holding was the "Divine Attack Talisman" that he had originally exchanged for to kill Yan Luo, but ended up not being able to use it because he "could not lock onto the target." One reason was that he was afraid that the other party would kill him.
One is ready to kill the other.
It is obvious that although Xu Suisui and Wei Changtian often laugh and joke around on weekdays, and even reached an "agreement" on the issue of "friends" a few days ago , from beginning to end, the two have never really trusted each other completely.
The reason is not difficult to understand.
As time travelers who both have their own systems, it is undoubtedly impossible to achieve "complete mutual trust" before figuring out a series of issues such as what the other party's system is, whether there is a conflict of interest with one's own, etc.
And in this situation, in order to protect themselves, none of them would be the first to reveal their background.
Therefore, Xu Suisui pretended that he didn't know what the "system" was, and Wei Changtian never mentioned the secret of "Heaven's Fate" to the former.
This mutual guarding and suspicion seems to be an unbreakable deadlock.
Because they don't trust each other, no one is willing to be the first to tell the other person their secrets.
Because no one takes the initiative to "confess", suspicion will always remain.
Because of doubt, we will continue to be unable to fully believe.
Unless "Are you afraid I'll kill you?"
Wei Changtian suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is that right?"
“.”
"It seems so."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian seemed a little helpless: "I know what you are worried about, but you also lied to me, didn't you?"
"I, I was scared!"
Xu Suisui suddenly cried out, "I don't know if you will hurt me!"
"If I wanted to hurt you, you would have died long ago."
With a smile, Wei Changtian put the secret "Divine Strike Talisman" into his sleeve pocket and deliberately clasped his empty hands across his chest.
This action really made Xu Suisui's expression relax a lot instantly.
"Okay, we're all from the same hometown, can't we be honest with each other?"
Seeing that this trick worked, Wei Changtian immediately seized the opportunity and asked with a smile:
"By the way, what exactly is your system?"
