Chapter 650 Chu Xianping was controlled for the first time
The wind and snow continued, blowing the black cloak on Li Zimu's body and making a loud noise.
Unlike the return trip, because they had to "fly with bombs", it took about an hour and a half to fly from the mountain temple to the fairy pond.
And Chu Xianping and Li Zimu were indeed riding on the eagle demon together, the latter in front and the former behind, so physical contact was inevitable in such a posture.
Holding the beauty in his arms and looking at her hair bun so close to him, Chu Xianping's face became a little stiff.
On the contrary, Li Zimu quickly adapted to the panic of his first "flight" and his facial expression gradually became excited.
"Mr. Chu!"
"Looking down from the sky, the mountain looks so small!"
“.”
Because the wind was so strong, Li Zimu had to shout out loud to cover the sound of the wind.
She looked back at Chu Xianping, her eyes flashing with excitement, and a few strands of long hair fluttering in the wind on the side of her face.
At this moment, the two people's faces were only a few inches apart. Although it cannot be said to be extremely close, it was far less than the "safe distance".
Because of this, Chu Xianping, who usually remained calm even in the face of disasters, actually became a little uneasy.
He didn't know how to respond to this, so he pretended not to hear it and stared straight ahead in silence.
Li Zimu naturally saw through his thoughts, but he was not embarrassed. He smiled and turned back to continue shouting:
"Master Chu! Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
“.”
His eyes rested on the back of her head with long hair tied up high, and Chu Xianping knew that Li Zimu was talking to him like this on purpose.
And after no longer having to make eye contact with the latter, he actually felt a lot more relaxed.
"Miss Li, I don't understand what you are talking about."
The word "I don't understand" revealed the "low emotional intelligence" of the king of licking dogs, and also made Li Zimu laugh.
"Oh, oh, oh, Master Chu, you are so weird!"
“I don’t think there’s anything weird about me.”
"Don't deny it!"
Li Zimu's voice became louder: "You are obviously talented in planning and strategizing, but you are very stupid when it comes to love between men and women!"
"I'm very good at judging people! You can't fool me!"
“.”
For a moment, Chu Xianping didn't know what to say.
Just as Wei Changtian had told him, Li Zimu was indeed very good at judging people, and he had already felt this from his interactions with him in recent days.
But the sentence just now clearly had another meaning in it, which was that Li Zimu wanted to develop a different kind of relationship with me.
Chu Xianping never expected that Li Zimu would be so proactive. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go for it. He gritted his teeth and said directly:
"Miss Li! I'm married!"
"Hmm?"
Li Zimu subconsciously turned his head, glanced at Chu Xianping who had a serious face, then turned back with a smile.
"Goose, goose, goose, Master Chu, why are you telling me this?"
“.”
"Miss Li, let's just make it clear!"
Chu Xianping went all out, and said in a very serious tone: "I am indeed a little slow in matters between men and women, but after spending the past few days with you, I...well, I know what you mean."
"But I'm already married, and I don't plan to marry again."
"You are so smart, you will definitely find a good husband in the future, so don't do it."
"Mr. Chu!"
Before Chu Xianping finished speaking, Li Zimu suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Don't be so self-indulgent. When did I ever say that I was interested in you?"
"Master Wei has saved my life twice. He is more handsome than you, not to mention he has tremendous power. If I really want to like someone, I would like him!"
“.”
Hearing Li Zimu suddenly compare himself to Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping not only did not feel embarrassed or ashamed, but even after being stunned for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, that's good, that's good."
"Miss Li, you are absolutely right. Brother Wei is indeed much better than me."
"If you two can get married, it will definitely be a match made in heaven. I will prepare a generous gift for you."
The tense emotions were released at once, and Chu Xianping immediately took advantage of the situation to back off, and even talked about giving gifts when Li Zimu and Wei Changtian got married.
He rarely stopped talking, but Li Zimu in front of him fell into silence.
Until a certain moment, a somewhat cold voice slowly sounded from the wind.
"Mr. Chu, are you sincere in what you said?"
"Do you really want to see me marry another man?"
"I"
Looking at the eyes that were silently staring at him, Chu Xianping couldn't say "of course" which was on the tip of his tongue.
And at this moment, a smile immediately reappeared on Li Zimu's mouth.
"Goose, goose, goose, I knew you wouldn't want to do this!"
"Master Chu! From now on, don't call me Miss Li anymore. Just call me Zimu!"
"That's what my parents called me when they were alive!"
"Ah, ah?"
"Well, I'll call you Xianping from now on, okay?"
“.”
"Oh, don't be like that! I promise, I will only call you like that in private from now on!"
“.”
"Okay! It's settled!"
“.”
There is no trace of human beings on the snowy mountains, but the icy river is filled with the sound of wild geese.
Chu Xianping, who was suddenly caught, was like a piece of wood, with his eyes wide open and unable to utter a word.
It was obvious that he had been able to easily outmaneuver people like Zhuang Zhiming and Ning Yongnian before, but now a "little woman" like Li Zimu took the initiative.
I don’t know whether it’s because he is too incompetent or because Li Zimu is too smart.
Anyway, Chu Xianping just felt that he seemed to have inexplicably developed a special feeling for the latter. He was stunned on the eagle's back and even ignored the scene in front of him.
Until Li Zimu reminded softly:
"Xian Ping, we are here."
“.”
After nearly three hours, when the fire was extinguished and the smoke dissipated, the scene around the fairy pond became clearly visible.
Countless deep pits, broken lake surfaces, soldiers dragging their wounded bodies and struggling to walk, and corpses lying all over the ground.
At this moment, Chu Xianping could no longer see a single intact tent, nor could he see even an inch of land that was not stained with blood.
All he could see were countless soldiers with their heads raised, and all he could hear were distant and terrified cries.
“Again!!”
"Run! Run quickly! Run!"
“Ah!! Help!!”
"I won't fight this battle anymore!!"
“.”
From the air, the panicked crowd looked like ants fleeing after their nest was destroyed.
Some people abandoned the wounded soldiers they were carrying without hesitation; some jumped into the ice cave that was blown open on the surface of Xianchi Lake; some fell to the ground while running and never stood up again; some pulled the bowstrings with red eyes and shot weak arrows into the night sky. In front of the Tengu Army and the black gunpowder, they were so powerless and fragile.
They didn't even have the chance to confront the enemy head-on, but were defeated by the huge "technological gap".
This scene is undoubtedly very sad and miserable.
But war is never fair.
Whether it is the advantage of the Jueji coalition in military strength or the advantage of the Ningshu coalition in technology, they are actually just pursuing that "inequality".
"Everyone! Fire!"
At this moment, Chu Xianping's expression was completely different from before, as if his IQ had finally regained the upper hand.
He shouted loudly with a stern expression, and the three thousand Tengu soldiers hovering in the air removed the black cloth and lit the fuse of the gunpowder barrel.
Li Zimu quietly turned his head and looked at the man who was so close to him. His breathing gradually became rapid and his cheeks flushed slightly.
At this moment, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.
