Chapter 689 I knew it wouldn't be that simple!
The next few days were as peaceful as ever.
Dajue's army had completely withdrawn from Tianshan Mountain and had already captured Nanshan County of Ji State. They were now marching towards the capital of Ji State.
Li Zimu and Tang Chen had already returned to Liangzhou City. The latter also came to find Wei Changtian and explained why Yan Huaiqing let him come back.
It’s not complicated actually.
According to Tang Chen, Yan Huaiqing did not try to stop him at all. He just symbolically tried to keep him for a while, and then said, "Everyone has their own aspirations," and let him go.
Of course, Wei Changtian had no way of confirming whether these were true or false.
But he was too lazy to confirm.
Anyway, Tang Chen certainly cannot be entrusted with important tasks at the moment, so there will be plenty of time to test things slowly in the future.
If he is truly willing to work for me, then there will still be time to reuse him.
In this way, Wei Changtian temporarily kept Tang Chen by his side as a guest of the Wei family.
As for Tang Chen and Chu Xianping, the two have already met and talked.
Wei Changtian did not ask them what they talked about in detail. He only knew that the two seemed to have reached a "gentleman's agreement" and planned to pursue Li Zimu based on their own abilities.
Tsk tsk tsk, that’s “fair”.
I just don’t know what choice Li Zimu, the “referee”, will make in the end.
In Wei Changtian's opinion, Li Zimu will probably choose Chu Xianping in the end, and Tang Chen will most likely be given a "good guy card" and be done with it.
But things are unpredictable, so it's hard to say for sure.
After all, this isn't an idol drama, so the second male lead definitely won't have a chance to make a comeback.
Besides, it’s hard to say who is the second male lead among the three of them.
For Li Zimu and the other two, the grudges, love and hatred between them are undoubtedly complicated.
But for a "spectator" like Wei Changtian , after all, how many people care about this kind of thing? The above are the important things that happened in recent days.
Of course there are some less important ones.
For example, Zhang San and Huang Sheng finally ended their "tracking mission" that lasted for more than a month and returned to Liangzhou City. Wei Changtian also took back the life-saving props and avoidance talismans he had given them before.
For example, Tang Chen used the "mind-reading" technique to pull out all the spies planted by various forces in the Shu Army and the Tengu Army as a token of his surrender to Wei Changtian.
For example, Ning Wenjun flew an imperial edict to Liangzhou and promoted generals of all ranks, including Han Zhao. Wei Xianzhi was also directly promoted from the third rank to the first rank. Now he is the Minister of the Imperial Guard, in charge of three departments: the Imperial Guard, the Xuanjing Division, and the Zhanshi Mansion.
In order to show his "loyalty", Ning Wenjun even handed over the Imperial Guard, the only armed force in his hands. It can be seen that his fear of the Wei family has reached an unprecedented level, and he will probably not have any small ideas in the short term.
But even if he had any other ideas, Wei Changtian wouldn't care much.
In other words, a person like Ning Wenjun is no longer worthy of being his opponent. The sun rises and sets, the moon rises and sets.
And so, the time came to the fifth day of March.
Today is Qingming Festival. Most of the people in Liangzhou, who are no longer troubled by war, go out of the city in groups of three or five early in the morning to enjoy the spring scenery and worship their ancestors. At noon, wisps of green smoke begin to rise from several low hills outside the city.
Wei Changtian and others who were far away in Liangzhou naturally could not offer sacrifices to their ancestors, but they all got up early.
Because today they are going to set off back to Dashu.
Now that the situation in Liangzhou has stabilized, there is no point in staying here any longer. It is better to go back early.
The Shu Army and the Tengu Army have assembled outside the city and will return with Wei Changtian.
Han Zhao will have to stay in Liangzhou City for another month with nearly 400,000 Daning troops to prevent Dajue from making a counterattack. Even though the latter is still attacking Ji State, it probably doesn't have time to do such a thing.
“.”
"hurry up!"
"Watch your step! Be careful!"
"This car is full! Move to the car behind."
In mid-spring, all things come back to life.
Several old trees in the alley have sprouted new buds, and horse-drawn carriages are parked outside the courtyard.
At a glance, more than ten carriages were exactly the same, all pulled by two chestnut horses, and on the carriages were hung two small flags, one black and one blue, with the Chinese characters "Wei" and "Shu" respectively.
Maids and servants were carrying boxes of various sizes onto the cart. Zhang San was acting as a supervisor beside them, shouting loudly.
Liang Qin had already gotten into the car and was now lifting the curtain to look out, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.
Wei Changtian was standing next to a stone lion, with his arms folded, chatting with Yang Liushi with a smile.
"Look at Qin'er, she seems a little reluctant to leave."
Looking at Liang Qin, who had half of his head sticking out of the car window, Wei Changtian sighed, "But Liangzhou is also a good place. I can come here to escape the summer heat in the future."
"Hehe, sir, how about we stay a few more days?"
Yang Liushi covered her mouth and smiled: "Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. As long as you are here, I can live here for the rest of my life."
"I like to hear that."
Wei Changtian looked up at the blank plaque hanging above the courtyard gate and shook his head: "But forget it, Liangzhou City is too shabby after all. I still prefer the bustle of Shuzhou City."
"If you really live here, it won't be long before Liangzhou becomes as prosperous as Shuzhou."
Yang Liushi responded with a smile, then suddenly remembered something and pursed her lips and said with emotion:
"Sir, do you remember that we said on the way to Liangzhou that it might take a year before we can return?"
"I didn't expect that less than three months have passed and I can go back now."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so smooth at the time."
Wei Changtian nodded: "Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Brother Chu. If he hadn't suggested that we kill Yan Huanwen to make peace, I guess Liangzhou would still be fighting fiercely now."
"Well, Master Chu always thinks of things that others can't think of and does things that others can't do."
Yang Liushi agreed with this: "It was the same when I was pregnant with Ling before. If it weren't for Master Chu, you might not have been able to kill Ning Yongnian."
“.”
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Yang Liushi's words were obviously just an example to "strengthen the argument", but Wei Changtian was stunned after hearing it.
"yes."
"If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to Ning Yongnian"
"Okay, that's enough, let's talk in the car."
The meaningful tone disappeared in an instant. Wei Changtian saw that the last box of luggage had been lifted onto the car, so he smiled and asked Yang Liushi to get in and leave.
"Um."
The latter did not notice the slightest bit of abnormality in his behavior and nodded slightly.
The two walked towards the carriage where Liang Qin was. Zhang San, the coachman in front, had already opened the curtain. Daning Capital, Shuzhou City, Fengyuan, Liangzhou City.
After traveling through time, Wei Changtian only lived in these four places for more than a month.
Every time he left these places before, his mood might be calm, open-minded, nervous, or tragic. Although they were different, they were definitely not joyful.
After all, every time I have to leave, it must be because something bad has happened.
He left the capital because he was exiled to Shuzhou.
He left Shuzhou City because he wanted to go to Yuanzhou to rescue Liang Zhen and his daughter.
The reason for leaving Fengyuan was because of the "Yuanzhou City" tragedy, so he wanted to go back and rebel. In this way, this time when Wei Changtian left Liangzhou City, it was the first time that he left a place where he had lived for a long time with a very relaxed and happy mood.
It’s not easy!
Thinking this in his mind, Wei Changtian lowered his head and prepared to get into the carriage.
However, at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds suddenly came from the end of the alley, galloping towards us.
“Da da da!”
“Da da da da!”
“.”
The sound of horse hooves instantly attracted everyone's attention. Wei Changtian straightened up silently and turned to look towards the alley entrance.
Looking at Chu Xianping, who was lying on the horse's back with an extremely serious expression, Wei Changtian rolled his eyes in his heart, knowing that his good mood should be gone.
I just don't know what else can happen at this moment.
Yan Huaiqing broke the contract?
That's impossible.
Or did something happen to Ning Wenjun or Ning Yuke?
Or maybe Kuilong?
Wei Changtian couldn't guess the result for a while.
However, Chu Xianping, who stopped his horse a few feet away and then ran over quickly, quickly gave the answer.
"Young Master!"
"The situation in Xinfeng has changed dramatically!"
