Chapter 687 Because the snow is very clean
The firelight flickered, casting a hazy shadow on Li Zimu and Tang Chen.
When the two stood opposite each other again, it was obvious that they both had a lot to say to each other, but they didn't know where to start.
After a long silence, Li Zimu finally smiled and wiped away the tears from his eyes, and whispered: "I thought you would never come back."
“.”
"I"
Tang Chen looked back at the teleportation array and shook his head: "I have to go and explain everything to His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Um."
Li Zimu nodded gently and asked again: "Will he allow you to come back?"
"Whether he allows it or not, I'm back."
Tang Chen smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "I will explain this matter to Master Wei clearly, you don't have to worry."
"good"
Li Zimu lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes, his face red, not knowing what to say next.
On the contrary, it was unclear whether Tang Chen was "unromantic" or "asking despite knowing the answer", as he hesitated and asked a question that could almost be called nonsense.
"Um. Are you waiting for me?"
"What else?"
Li Zimu slowly raised his head and looked at Tang Chen, asking in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Who else can I wait for?"
"Well"
Tang Chen lowered his head nervously and responded with great embarrassment.
"I see."
“.”
You speak and I speak, and our conversation is intermittent and sounds very incoherent.
This just reflects their complicated feelings at the moment.
There is not only joy, but also a kind of entanglement that perhaps only they can understand.
After all , "By the way, have you seen Mr. Chu?"
Suddenly, Tang Chen asked tentatively: "Does he know about what happened between us?"
"You should know."
Li Zimu looked directly at Tang Chen: "Young Master Wei will definitely talk to him."
"Really? Where is he now?"
Tang Chen took a step closer, his expression very serious: "I want to talk to him."
“.”
Tang Chen actually took the initiative to ask to have a chat with Chu Xianping.
This move was not anticipated by Li Zimu before.
Her eyes became more complicated, she was silent for a few breaths, and then shook her head gently.
"He has returned to Liangzhou City."
"Master Wei prepared a welcoming banquet for him. They left in the afternoon and should be drinking now."
"Oh, let's talk about this later."
Tang Chen nodded, not taking it too seriously. After exchanging a glance with Li Zimu, they walked out of the hall where the teleportation array was located.
There were several guards standing guard outside the palace, and a team of patrolling soldiers not far away. The friction of armor seemed dull and lonely in the middle of the night.
They all saw Tang Chen, but no one went up to question or check. It must be that Wei Changtian had given some instructions before leaving.
"Miss Li"
Standing outside the hall, Tang Chen looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky, then turned and asked Li Zimu.
"Where are we going now? Back to Liangzhou City?"
"Also, do you want to tell Master Wei about my return first?"
"No need. The moment you stepped out of the teleportation array, someone must have sent a message back."
Li Zimu smiled, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes.
“As for where we are going now?”
"Master Tang, the two countries have now reached a truce. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to return to Dashu in a few days."
"After this departure, I don't know when I will come to Liangzhou again."
"So can you accompany me to see this snowy mountain again tonight?"
Look at the snow-capped mountains? Tang Chen was stunned, looked at the vast snow-capped mountains in the distance, which were white and without a trace of dust under the moonlight, and subconsciously asked: "Miss Li, do you like snow scenery?"
"Um."
Li Zimu responded softly, and his eyes became a little lonely in an instant.
She looked into the distance, and murmured with a sigh and regret: "Because the snow is very clean."
“.”
Liangzhou City.
Just as Li Zimu and Tang Chen were sitting on a huge rock outside the mountain temple, silently looking at the Tianshan Mountain bathed in the moonlight, the banquet that gathered all the big shots in the city finally ended.
Standing outside the courtyard gate with Liang Qin and Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian was sending all the guests onto the carriage one by one.
"Brother Du, go back and have a good rest. We will go to the state government office tomorrow morning to discuss matters."
"Hahaha! Mr. Dong! I will set up another table before I leave! We will drink then."
"Uncle Liang, after much thought, I think it's better for us to continue to address each other as uncle and nephew."
"Brother Chu, Tang Chen is back."
In the darkness of the night, several carriages had driven away one after another, and until they completely disappeared, Chu Xianping's carriage was still parked at the gate of the courtyard.
Beside the carriage, Wei Changtian gloated and joked, "Hahaha, it's hard to say who will get the beauty between you and Tang Chen in the end!"
"Sir, didn't you say..."
Chu Xianping asked blankly, "Is Miss Li being fake to Tang Chen?"
"It's fake now, but what about later?"
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Who can say for sure about feelings? What if Li Zimu loses herself?"
"Well"
Chu Xianping frowned. Obviously he had never assumed such a possibility, so he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
He hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Sir, when will they come back? I want to talk to Tang Chen."
"Brother Chu, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back tonight."
Wei Changtian, who "watches a show without thinking it's too much", replied with a sigh: "The two are still watching the snow scene in the mountain temple."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know what they are talking about."
“.”
The lights outside the courtyard were bright, and the horses pulling the cart held their heads high and rubbed their front hooves back and forth on the ground.
Seeing Wei Changtian's expression, Chu Xianping felt worried and embarrassed for a moment.
He knew that if he continued talking he would become even more embarrassed, so he quickly bowed and prepared to leave.
"Well, sir, I understand."
"Let's talk about this later. I accidentally drank a few glasses of wine tonight and now I have a severe headache. I will go back to rest first."
It's already the fifth grade, but drinking alcohol still gives you a headache.
Chu Xianping's excuse was undoubtedly lame, but Wei Changtian did not "pursue victory" again. He just waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go!"
"yes."
"Sir, Madams, goodbye."
“.”
After bowing to Liang Qin and Yang Liushi, Chu Xianping got into the carriage as if relieved and soon left.
Wei Changtian stood there and watched for a while before walking up to the last person who was about to leave.
"General Han, I want to ask you something."
The smile on his face slowly faded, and Wei Changtian at this moment seemed like a different person, with an expression that was excessively calm.
Seeing this, Han Zhao immediately stopped smiling, clasped his hands and said seriously:
"Sir, please speak."
"Um"
Wei Changtian nodded without hesitation, and then asked a question in front of Han Zhao's astonished eyes.
“General Han, can you sense the aura of Puppet Pill from Chu Xianping?”
“.”
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened subconsciously.
Han Zhao never expected that Wei Changtian would ask this.
People who have taken Puppet Pill can feel each other's uniqueness. This is also the simplest way to identify colleagues in the Tongzhou Society.
Since Han Zhao had taken the Puppet Pill before, he could naturally feel whether Chu Xianping had taken it before.
So Wei Changtian’s question itself is not difficult to answer.
What really surprised Han Zhao was the logic behind this question.
If you have complete faith in someone, you will not test or verify his loyalty.
Once you intend to verify whether a person is loyal, it means that you have already begun to doubt this person.
So the Prince of Wei actually became suspicious of Chu Xianping? !
For anyone who has been with Wei Changtian for a long time, this is incredible.
In other words, in the eyes of almost everyone, if there really was a traitor around Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping should be the least likely one.
So now. For a moment, beads of sweat had already appeared on Han Zhao's forehead.
He knew that the most important thing he should do now, and the only thing he could do, was to tell the truth, so he quickly collected his thoughts and answered truthfully in a deep voice:
"My lord, Master Chu does have the aura of Puppet Pill!"
“.”
"Sure?"
"Sure!"
