Chapter 671 "Brotherhood"
The next morning.
After a whole night of cleaning up the battlefield and resting, the Dajue army began to withdraw northward.
It would take them about half a month to withdraw from Tianshan Mountain and reach the territory of Ji State.
Of course, Dajue and Ji State are no longer allies now, so the latter will certainly deploy layers of defenses on the border by then, and it is estimated that the two sides will fight again by then.
As for whether Ji State, which had lost 200,000 elite soldiers at once, could resist, and whether Dajue could successfully take Ji State into its possession, these were not things Wei Changtian had to consider.
For him, the war in Liangzhou was a foregone conclusion, so instead of caring about this, he might as well learn more about the situation on Xu Suisui's side.
The fighting has been going on for more than half a month. Judging from the current situation, Xinfeng, which is extremely disadvantaged in terms of military strength, has performed quite well, having only lost three of the ten states.
Obviously, this achievement is inseparable from the full support of Buddhism.
From three months ago until now, countless monks from various Buddhist holy places have poured into Xinfeng every day and continuously joined the battlefield.
Facing an enemy force of 1.2 million, although these monks were still outnumbered, their average combat power was much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.
In addition, Xu Suisui also had ten second-grade masters including Qin Zhengqiu, as well as Xu Quan and Shen Ran, two sons of heaven. This combination of factors prevented Xinfeng from completely collapsing half a month after the war began.
This situation is certainly a good thing for Wei Changtian.
But on the other hand, he really couldn't understand what benefits Xu Suisui had given to Buddhism that made the latter willing to help her so hard.
“.”
The air in the study was fresh, and the morning sunlight came in through the open windows, bringing with it a hint of earthy air.
Wei Changtian held the battle report sent back from Xinfeng in his hand, frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he was too lazy to think about it anymore.
He put down the secret letter and stood up.
He was just about to go out to the provincial government office to discuss taking over the teleportation array with Liang Zhen and others.
However, Liang Qin suddenly walked in at this moment.
"Brother Changtian, Miss Li is here."
“.”
After one stick of incense.
Led by a little maid, Li Zimu soon arrived at the study.
"Sir, Madam."
She bowed politely to the two of them. Liang Qin smiled and nodded, then whispered to Wei Changtian: "Husband, I'll go out first."
"Well, remember to ask someone to prepare a car for me. I'm going to the state government office later."
"Okay, I'll go right away, you guys talk."
Liang Qin responded and pushed the door open and walked out, closing it gently.
Wei Changtian then looked up at Li Zimu and asked casually, "Are you sober?"
"Reply to Master"
Li Zimu showed no surprise on his face. He just shook his head and replied, "I was not drunk last night."
“That’s a good guess.”
Wei Changtian curled his lips and asked again: "How is the matter being handled? When can I find out?"
"Any time."
Li Zimu answered seriously again: "It's just that I haven't asked yet."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian glanced at her and asked, "Why don't you ask?"
"Because I think Tang Chen's value is far more than that."
Li Zimu did not hide anything and said calmly, "If you agree, I can let him stay with you and serve you."
"Work for me?"
After hearing what Li Zimu said, Wei Changtian looked at her very delicate eyebrows and eyes, and muttered in his heart that appearance was too deceptive.
Who would have thought that such an innocent-looking girl would cheat on a man without any hesitation. Wait a minute.
Could it be that Li Zimu really fell in love with Tang Chen?
"Are you sincere to Tang Chen?"
After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian asked directly: "You don't really intend to get yourself involved, do you?"
"If that's the case, then you don't have to put yourself in a difficult position."
"Tang Chen is indeed somewhat useful to me, but he is not too important. You have to think this matter through."
"Thank you for your concern, but I know what I am doing."
Li Zimu answered quickly, with no change in his tone: "As for my feelings towards Tang Chen, this is naturally false."
“Is that so.”
Wei Changtian slowly stood up and walked closer to Li Zimu.
"What about you to Chu Xianping? Was it fake too?"
"this"
Suddenly raising his head, Li Zimu's expression showed a noticeable change for the first time.
Some struggle, and at the same time some shyness.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't come up with an answer right away.
Wei Changtian looked at him coldly and said slowly:
"Okay, if you haven't thought this through yet, think about it again."
"If you really have feelings for Chu Xianping, and he really has feelings for you, then I won't care about your relationship, and I can't care."
"But if you play with Chu Xianping like you played with Tang Chen..."
"Miss Li, I can save you, but I can also kill you."
"Chu Xianping is the person I trust the most, so I don't want you to die because of him."
"That's it. Go back."
“.”
The morning breeze blew through the window, and Wei Changtian's suddenly cold tone stunned Li Zimu for a moment.
She stared blankly at Wei Changtian, who was no longer looking at her, and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long while, she finally said one sentence.
"yes"
“Squeak.”
The door opened and closed, and Li Zimu quickly left the study and walked towards the courtyard gate with his head down.
Judging from her behavior just now, her feelings towards Chu Xianping are obviously not simple.
Maybe it was not "complete deception and exploitation" like what happened to Tang Chen, but I think there must be some purpose beyond "love between men and women".
Wei Changtian knew that he would not get any answer from her, so he simply gave Li Zimu a "vaccination" and told her clearly that he would never tolerate Chu Xianping being toyed with by this scumbag again.
He didn't care what Li Zimu thought about this or what he would do.
He wasn't kidding anyway.
Wei Changtian was really capable of killing Li Zimu for Chu Xianping.
This undoubtedly shows that Chu Xianping is far more important in his heart than Li Zimu.
In fact, it’s not just plum wood.
Putting aside gender, Chu Xianping's importance is even on the same level as Comrade Xiao Xu, and they are both among the people Wei Changtian cares about the most.
He talked about "brotherhood" in this way. If Chu Xianping knew about it, he would probably be secretly moved.
Of course, Chu Xianping is still sleeping and it will take at least ten days for him to come back, so he naturally cannot feel Wei Changtian’s "brotherhood".
As for what he is doing now, "Mr. Chu"
In a heavily guarded courtyard in the Dajue Palace, an old man was sitting opposite Chu Xianping and advising him earnestly:
"Don't worry, we don't want to be enemies with Master Wei. We just want you to reveal some information to us in advance if you think it is necessary."
"If you agree, I will reward you handsomely and will never let you suffer any loss."
"Mr. Chu, I know that you are upright and honest. Now you have the trust of Mr. Wei, and you have no shortage of money and power."
"But you have to know that life is not always smooth sailing."
"Well, let me say something offensive."
"If one day Master Wei no longer trusts you, or even becomes your enemy, have you ever thought about what to do then?"
"Mr. Chu, it's never wrong to leave yourself a way out."
"What do you think?"
