Chapter 521 "Wallfacer Project"
The next day.
From waking up in the morning until sunset.
Wei Changtian locked himself in the room for a whole day, discussing with Chu Xianping how to deal with Zhuang Zhiming who was going to visit him the next day.
With the addition of Xu Suisui, the three parties are now a bit like playing a game of half-exposed Landlord, and each party’s cards have been more or less seen by the opponent.
Of course, Wei Changtian knew more information than Zhuang Zhiming.
But the power the other party possesses is greater than his.
Simply put, Wei Changtian can see more cards of Zhuang Zhiming, but the latter's cards are stronger.
As for Xu Suisui, she is obviously the "player" who has the most information.
In other words, she not only knew all the cards in the hands of the other two people, but could even "predict" Wei Changtian and Zhuang Zhiming's ideas of how to play their cards.
One opponent has better cards than you, and one opponent has a "x-ray cheat".
Such a game of cards is undoubtedly difficult for Wei Changtian to play.
However, when the cards in his hand could no longer be changed, there was only one thing he could do -
That is to play this bad hand as well as possible.
Moreover, you cannot fight according to normal thinking.
As long as his next move was beyond Xu Suisui's expectations, everything in the future would be disrupted, and at the very least, the information gap between the two would be greatly narrowed.
Wei Changtian actually didn’t know what choice was truly “unexpected”. After all, he didn’t know how his own character in the book would play his cards in the end.
However, he knew there was a way to "play unconventionally".
Don't you know how I'm going to play my cards?
good.
Then I'll change someone else to play.
“.”
"Brother Chu, tomorrow it's up to you."
After glancing at the setting sun outside the window, Wei Changtian, who had been in the conference room for several hours, finally stood up and patted Chu Xianping's shoulder heavily.
Yes.
The person who will actually meet Zhuang Zhiming tomorrow is not himself, but Chu Xianping.
Xuantian Sword, Remnant Soul, Council of Elders, Xu Suisui What should be explained and what can be explained.
Basically, except for the fact that he and Xu Suisui were time travelers and possessed a system, Wei Changtian had already told Chu Xianping all the secrets.
But he did not express any opinion about his attitude.
Chu Xianping did not ask, nor did he tell Wei Changtian in advance what his plan was. Since no matter what choice he made, he might as well fall into the coincidence of "fate", he might as well break free from this shackles from another angle.
This circumvention method is actually quite similar to the "Wallfacer Plan" in the previous life of "The Three-Body Problem".
Yes, you know all my cards, and even my thoughts and style of doing things.
But you can't know Chu Xianping's choice.
In this case, when the players change, the game will naturally go in a direction that no one can predict.
I have to say that Wei Changtian played this hand very well.
But it also requires courage.
Leaving the important matter concerning one's own destiny to be decided by another person. This not only represents Wei Changtian's absolute trust in Chu Xianping, but also means that his way of thinking has completely risen to a new level.
From this moment on, he can truly be called a "strategist" and is worthy of playing the chess game of the world.
“.”
"Don't worry, sir. I won't let you down."
Chu Xianping also stood up and bowed very solemnly.
After learning everything, he naturally understood how heavy the burden was on him.
But there was no trace of uneasiness or nervousness on his face, nor was he afraid to "go to the table to play cards" for fear of making the wrong choice.
This is a sign of extreme self-confidence.
This is also the performance of the IQ ceiling in "The Peak of Martial Arts".
There is a cold wind blowing outside the window, and the sky is vast and distant.
After the last sweltering night last night, winter has finally arrived.
It seemed as if most of the leaves on the trees had fallen overnight. Although the servants had been sweeping the ground all day, there were still many freshly fallen yellow leaves rolling on the ground in the wind, making bursts of rustling sounds.
Looking at the early winter scenery through the window, Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping looked at each other and stopped talking.
The expressions of the two were very calm, but they were both thinking about the same question in their hearts, a very crucial question.
Just like the metaphor just now.
If Wei Changtian, Xu Suisui and Zhuang Zhiming are playing a half-open game of Landlord, then who is the "landlord"? Who are the "peasants" in the same group as whom?
At the same time, Changwu Hall.
"Captain, we have found out."
In the quiet room, an old man in a gray robe stood in front of Zhuang Zhiming and said, "On the night of October 18, Wei Changtian and his subordinate Chu Xianping entered the Guanghan County Government Office at nightfall and did not leave until the hour of the Ox."
"But it is unclear what they did in the county government office, and we don't know if there were other people there at the time."
“.”
"knew."
With his eyes narrowed slightly, Zhuang Zhiming shook his sleeves and asked, "Have you prepared the ceremony for tomorrow?"
"Captain, everything has been prepared as you ordered."
"Okay, you can go out now."
"yes."
“.”
Soon, the old man in gray robe quietly left the room.
At this moment, a meaningful smile appeared on Zhuang Zhiming's face.
October 18th was the time of the last elders' meeting.
That is to say, one of Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping should be the elder of Qingtai.
Except for the elders, the identities of Kuilong's people are semi-confidential: people in the same branch mostly know each other, but people in different branches are strangers to each other.
Therefore, Zhuang Zhiming currently only thought that Wei Changtian or Chu Xianping were from other branches. From his perspective, such a guess was actually very reasonable.
After all, apart from the time traveler, who would have thought that Wei Changtian once "owned" two tokens and such a strange existence as the remnant soul of the Xuantian Sword.
Therefore, in Zhuang Zhiming's opinion, this is most likely the only possible truth.
So, what he has to do next is to use threats and inducements to force Wei Changtian to "ally" with him.
The "alliance" here is certainly not a real alliance.
Zhuang Zhiming, who controls three divisions of Kui, Long and Bing, does not think that Wei Changtian has the capital to be on an equal footing with him, so what he wants must be to "completely control" the latter.
However, Zhuang Zhiming was not confident enough to think that this was an easy task. After all, Wei Changtian's "record" of killing a second-grade warrior with one move was not a secret, and it could even be said that everyone knew about it.
Therefore, we need to be cautious about this matter. Here, Zhuang Zhiming has basically "confirmed" Wei Changtian's identity and has begun to prepare for the "alliance".
On the other hand, Xu Suisui now has completely different ideas.
As the sun set, two carriages slowly drove away from Lingkai Mountain in the glow of the sunset.
Unexpectedly, Abbot Huian, dressed in a cassock, was also sitting in one of the carriages.
It is obvious that, just like Qin Zhengqiu before, he should also be temporarily recruited by Xu Suisui for his own use.
As for what Xu Suisui promised Huian and how she proved that she was capable of doing it, it is still unknown at this time.
However, the conversation between the two was somewhat intriguing.
"Abbot, have you ever heard of Kuilong?"
“I have never heard of it.”
"Really? People say monks don't tell lies. I wonder if the abbot had Buddha in his mind when he said this?"
"Miss Xu, this..."
“.”
