Chapter 655: Set out for negotiations
The two are separated by a fork in the road in the deep winter, and the family is worried by the full moon.
Standing outside the courtyard gate, looking back at the candlelight window again, Wei Changtian's mood at this moment was completely different from when he came.
He didn't know whether there was a "misunderstanding" between him and Yang Liushi, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that the latter cared so much about him.
It was obvious that he should have told Yang Liushi what he was thinking just now.
But when Yang Liushi asked him to "go back" in an almost pleading tone, he couldn't say those words.
More importantly, I will have peace talks with Yan Huaiqing tomorrow.
well.
Let's talk about it after the negotiations are over.
Maybe I shouldn't have come here tonight. Yu sighed in his heart, Wei Changtian slowly withdrew his gaze, and walked away step by step in the moonlight.
But Yang Liushi in the room just stood there, and only walked to the table and sat down after a long time.
With red eyes, she picked up the ancient medical book that she had not yet finished reading and gently opened it.
Tears dropped onto the pages of the old book, blurring the edges of the words that had been written who knows how many years ago.
Under the candlelight, Yang Liushi's fingers were trembling slightly and her vision was a little dazed.
But she still read the obscure text line by line, repeating in a low voice:
“There will be a way”
“There will definitely be a way.”
“.”
The next day, at the beginning of the Mao hour.
Before dawn, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
"Mr. Chu, Miss Li, please wait a moment."
The driver got off the carriage, bowed to the sedan chair and said, "I will go and invite Wei..."
"No."
A voice interrupted the driver, and then the gate opened, and Wei Changtian and Liang Qin walked out together.
"Sir, Madam."
Chu Xianping and Li Zimu got out of the car one after another. After greeting the two, they looked towards the courtyard intentionally or unintentionally.
Obviously, they were looking for Yang Liushi.
After all, Wei Changtian was going to negotiate with Yan Huaiqing today. It was undoubtedly a bit strange that Yang Liushi did not come out to see him off on such an important matter.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Wei Changtian roughly guessed what they were thinking, but he didn't explain anything. He just urged casually, "Get in the car and go."
"yes."
Chu Xianping and Li Zimu naturally would not ask questions that were not right. They answered in unison and got back into the carriage.
Wei Changtian then curled his lips, turned his head and whispered to Liang Qin:
"Okay, you can go back to the house too."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to come back tonight."
"Well, I'll wait for you."
Liang Qin nodded. Although she knew that Wei Changtian's ears were callused, she still reminded him softly, "Remember to be careful. I have something to tell you when we get back."
"Hmm? What's up?"
Wei Changtian looked puzzled: "Tell me now."
"Oh, it's not a big deal."
Liang Qin smiled and pushed Wei Changtian: "Go quickly, you will know when you come back."
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
"Um."
“.”
Under Liang Qin's gaze, the black carriage moved slowly and soon disappeared into the thickest night before dawn.
Liang Qin gently touched her belly, her eyes were filled with happiness except for a little worry.
In the side room of the courtyard, Yang Liushi, who had not slept all night, sat by the table listening to the gradually fading sound of horse hooves, with a look of relief but some loneliness in her eyes.
Whether it was Liang Qin who deliberately concealed the possibility of her pregnancy, or Yang Liushi who intentionally hid her inner reluctance and struggle, the two women did very similar things in order to allow Wei Changtian to negotiate with Yan Huaiqing with peace of mind.
But the reasons behind the two are so contrasting.
From this perspective, perhaps the total amount of joys and sorrows, happiness and anger, sorrow and joy in this world is certain.
When some people are happy, some people are sad.
Some people reunite, some people separate.
Some people are lucky, some people are unlucky.
When someone gains, someone loses.
Everything is just like the peace talks that Wei Changtian is about to conduct. No matter whether it is him or Yan Huaiqing, they will always lose something before they can gain something.
Wei Changtian and the other two arrived at the mountain god temple at the hour of Si.
There was less than an hour left until the noon time agreed with Yan Huaiqing, but the corresponding preparations had already been made.
A full one hundred elite Shu troops will enter the teleportation array first. After confirming that there is no ambush at Zishan Palace, they will send a message back, and then Wei Changtian and the other two will go.
Of course, this can only guarantee the initial safety. If Yan Huaiqing plays any tricks during the negotiation process, it may not be possible to prevent it.
However, Wei Changtian was not afraid that the latter would have any bad ideas, after all, he had also made a backup plan.
Even if we take a step back, even if we are really defeated at that time, the teleportation array is in the Zishan Palace, so we can still escape.
So the only issue that needs to be considered now is whether to start a war immediately if the two sides fail to reach an agreement.
Wei Changtian didn't know how Yan Huaiqing arranged it, but for him, "General Han, Uncle Liang, Brother Du."
Looking at Han Zhao, Liang Zhen and Du Chang in front of him, Wei Changtian had a serious expression.
"If we fail to reach an agreement with Yan Huaiqing, our next move will depend on the situation."
"Of course, if I can come back, I will tell you what to do."
"If we fail to come back, Zhuoyu will definitely send back a message."
"The mother and son jades burn once, indicating that the troops will not move."
"Burning twice means to withdraw to Liangzhou City immediately."
"If it burns three times, then no matter what the enemy forces are like, we must immediately take the initiative to attack."
"Whether to retreat, fight, or continue to wait and see is still unknown at the moment, so please make all preparations and don't delay the opportunity to fight."
“.”
The midday sun was strong, reflecting golden light on the green armor of the hundred soldiers outside the house.
Wei Changtian carefully explained the possible outcomes and responses of the negotiations. After listening to him, Han Zhao and the other two all expressed their determination not to let him down.
"Changtian, don't worry about Liangzhou."
Liang Zhen patted his chest and assured: "You just need to talk to Yan Huaiqing at ease. We are not afraid even if we really fight!"
"Okay, that's good."
Nodding, Wei Changtian turned his gaze to Chu Xianping and Li Zimu on the other side.
Neither of them spoke, probably because they had nothing to add, so this brief meeting ended there.
"Uncle Liang, it's almost done."
Glancing at the copper leak in the corner, Wei Changtian said slowly: "Let the brothers enter the battle formation."
"good!"
Liang Zhen responded emphatically, then turned around and shouted loudly outside the house.
"Everyone listen up!"
"Line up immediately!"
“.”
“Huahuahuahua!”
The next second, neat footsteps were heard, and one hundred elite Shu troops, led by a general flag, quickly ran into the main hall of the mountain god temple, which had already been reinforced and renovated.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, as Liang Zhen slowly took the mother-and-child jade into his arms, everyone's attention was focused on him.
"Long sky."
Looking around, his sight finally fell on Wei Changtian.
Liang Zhen took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
"No problem over there."
"You can go now."
