Chapter 690 Spring
"Sir."
“What do we do now?”
“.”
The remaining stars have faded, dawn has broken, the rosy glow pierces the last bit of night's haziness, and the earth is shrouded in brightness and freshness.
At this moment, everything in Liangzhou City is so full of hope.
However, Wei Changtian's expression was as cold as a winter night.
Just now, the "Tianjiyuan" responsible for information transfer far away in Shuzhou City received two messages from Xinfeng in succession.
One is from Shen Ran.
One is from Xu Suisui.
And almost at the same time, the Zhanshi Mansion in the capital of Daning also received a "secret letter from the Emperor" from Daqian.
From the current Emperor of Daqian, Jing Guoqing.
Therefore, within just one hour, three people related to the situation in Xinfeng sent secret letters to Wei Changtian.
As for the contents of these three letters.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian never expected that the situation in Xinfeng, which had been very stable since the war broke out, would change so quickly.
In just one night, the balance of victory suddenly fell towards the Qianhui coalition, and Xu Suisui and her Xinfeng fell completely into the abyss.
The reason for all this is actually——
The Buddhists rebelled.
Looking up at the golden morning sun in the sky, Wei Changtian's eyes gradually became calm.
In fact, it is not quite accurate to say that "Buddhism rebelled."
To be more precise, a number of Buddhists rebelled, accounting for about 30% of all the people who supported Xinfeng.
But that's enough.
Three counties and nine cities.
Overnight, all the cities in Xinfeng that were fighting against the Qianhui coalition forces were lost, and countless soldiers were killed in the battle.
However, because these cities were breached too quickly and too suddenly, it was difficult for other cities in the hinterland of Xinfeng to organize effective resistance in a short period of time.
Therefore, Xu Suisui could only make the same decision as Li Qi did at the beginning -
Abandon all other cities and defend the last isolated city.
That is Fengyuan, which has changed from Dafeng Capital to Xinfeng Capital.
The above is the general content of the information Shen Ran sent back.
As for why some people in the Buddhist sect rebelled, what was the attitude of those second-rank monks, and how many troops Xu Suisui had at the moment, Shen Ran might not be clear about these questions, or he might not be able to explain them in a few words. In short, he did not mention them in the letter.
Compared with him, Xu Suisui and Jing Guoqing were even more "sparing with words" in their letters.
The latter wanted to make a deal with Wei Changtian, which could also be considered a threat.
Jing Guoqing said in the letter that if Wei Changtian did not send troops to reinforce Xinfeng, the two countries of Qianhui would never lay a hand on Dashu, and even the territory of Daning could be negotiated.
But if Wei Changtian does not do so and insists on sending troops to rescue Xinfeng, then no matter what the cost, the two countries of Qianhui will definitely destroy Da Shu within a year.
To put it simply,
We acknowledge Dajue’s affairs, but you should not interfere in Xinfeng’s affairs.
You'd better be sensible, otherwise I will kill you at all costs.
Use coercion, inducement, and both soft and hard tactics.
Since the attitudes of the two countries of Qianhui were so tough, and they wrote a letter to warn Wei Changtian at the first opportunity, then what Xu Suisui said in the letter was obvious.
In fact, she only sent two words in total.
[Save me]
Save me.
With these two words echoing repeatedly in his mind, Wei Changtian turned his head and looked around.
In the distance, Liangzhou City has become bustling, with people coming and going outside the alleys.
A little closer, more than a dozen carriages were still parked in the same place. The maids and coachmen standing beside the carriages all looked over here with some curiosity, wondering what was going on.
Around him, Chu Xianping, Yang Liushi, Liang Qin and Zhang San were all looking at him seriously, waiting for him to speak.
Looking at it this way, the current situation actually seems somewhat familiar.
More than a year ago, I had just wiped out the Liu family and thought I could take a breather and live a peaceful life.
As a result, not long after he married Xu Qingwan, the situation in Yuanzhou changed suddenly, and Liang Zhen and his daughter were trapped in Yuanzhou City.
Even at that time, it was Chu Xianping who hurriedly sent the news. Thinking about it this way, the two are really somewhat similar.
However, last time it took Wei Changtian nearly half a day to make the decision to rescue Liang Zhen and his daughter.
This time, it only took him a hundred breaths.
"Brother Chu, three things."
Under the gaze of Chu Xianping, Yang Liushi and the other two, Wei Changtian said calmly: "First, immediately notify Uncle Liang, General Han, and Brother Du to discuss the matter at the state government office in half an hour."
"Second, send a message to Shen Ran and ask him to explain everything he knows in detail."
"Third, send a message to the Zhanshi Mansion and ask them to tell Jing Guoqing."
At this point, Wei Changtian's tone finally turned cold, and the expressions of Chu Xianping and others suddenly became shocked.
They even thought they might have heard it wrongly.
At this moment, everyone felt a chill down their spine. All the noise in their ears disappeared, and only Wei Changtian's voice echoed word by word.
"Just say that if the two countries of Qianhui get out of Xinfeng right now, I can forgive them and let them go."
"But if they don't appreciate my kindness, I will destroy Daqian and Dahui within a year."
"Tell the House of Representatives to pass on the original words without changing a single word."
“.”
The morning sun is dazzling, but it cannot give people a sense of warmth.
If they don't appreciate my kindness, I will destroy Daqian and Dahui within a year. Chu Xianping and others might have anticipated the various decisions that Wei Changtian would make, but they certainly didn't expect that the latter would fight back in such a "tit-for-tat" manner.
For a moment, no one spoke, or perhaps no one had recovered from the shock.
However, Wei Changtian didn't care about that. After a short pause, he continued:
"By the way, write back to Xu Suisui."
"Just say I'll be there soon."
“.”
[Save me]
[Coming Soon]
With just three simple words, Wei Changtian's decision could not be clearer.
Not only will he go to rescue, but he will go immediately.
"call!"
A gust of wind suddenly blew, causing the corner of Wei Changtian's clothes to sway.
After looking at the four people around him, he had no intention of explaining anything. He said the last sentence and turned to walk into the yard.
"Brother Chu, follow me."
“.”
"yes!"
Chu Xianping was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed Wei Changtian and left, leaving Zhang San, Yang Liushi and Liang Qin standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.
Their expressions were different, but they were all very surprised.
Liang Qin, who knew the least among them, was the first one to come to her senses.
"That. Sister Liu Shi."
She was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice: "We shouldn't leave today, right?"
".It shouldn't be." Yang Liushi shook her head blankly.
"Okay, then I'll have someone put the luggage back first."
Liang Qin nodded, then turned and walked away, instructing the maids and servants to "unload the goods".
Obviously, since she didn't know about the past events between Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui, she felt that it was understandable that Wei Changtian decided to go to Xinfeng to help.
But Yang Liushi, who knew more, couldn't figure it out at this moment.
It shouldn't be.
Didn’t the young master and Miss Xu break up?
Why didn't you hesitate at all just now?
Even for the sake of the overall situation, shouldn't this matter be discussed with Chu Xianping and others first?
You have to know that no matter what major event the young master encountered before, even if he did not discuss it with others, he would at least discuss it with Chu Xianping before making a decision.
But why didn't the young master ask for anyone's opinion this time and made the decision in such a short time?
It was like he had to do it. "Why?"
Yang Liushi murmured something subconsciously, and was heard by Zhang San who was standing next to her.
The latter hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked, "Madam, you don't understand why the young master agreed to Miss Xu?"
"Um?"
Looking up at Zhang San, Yang Liushi nodded blankly.
"Yes, I haven't figured it out."
"Zhang San, do you know?"
"Uh, little man."
Zhang San hesitated for a moment, as if he was wondering whether he could tell him about this.
After a while, he probably felt that there was no big problem, so he replied in a low voice: "Madam, it's normal that the young master didn't tell you about this matter."
"Didn't you go to look for that little fox earlier? After you accidentally entered the teleportation array, you disappeared. I was really worried at that time."
“.”
Soon, Zhang San recounted what happened after Yang Liushi mistakenly entered the seventh demon land.
How Wei Changtian asked Liang Zhen to investigate the teleportation array, how he ordered people from the capital to help, and how he made a deal with Xu Suisui These things were not a secret, and Yang Liushi was not an outsider, so Zhang San did not hide anything and told her everything.
". So, the young master asked me to pass a message to Miss Xu and ask about the situation at the teleportation array."
"Madam, you also know that since the battle of Shuzhou ended and Miss Xu left, her relationship with the young master has been bad, and the two of them have never exchanged letters."
"The young master may be afraid that Miss Xu is unwilling to help, so he promised to owe Miss Xu a favor and repay it in the future."
"That's why you just decided to go to Xinfeng without hesitation."
"Ma'am, of course, this is just my speculation, just listen to it."
Looking at Yang Liushi's strange expression, Zhang San thought that the former was suspicious of something, and quickly added the last sentence.
However, Yang Liushi did not move at all, just standing there in a daze as if she was under a spell.
She really didn't know what Zhang San just said.
Because Wei Changtian never told her.
And now, when she knew all this , tears welled up in her eyes. If there weren't so many people around, Yang Liushi would have cried a long time ago.
"Ma'am? Are you okay?"
On the other side, Zhang San saw that Yang Liushi had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Well, maybe I shouldn't tell you this, you..."
"Zhang San, I'm fine."
Yang Liushi suddenly took a deep breath and interrupted, "I won't tell my husband about this, don't worry."
"Uh, thank you ma'am."
Zhang San scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, feeling relieved, "Young Master is shy. If he knew that I told Madam about this, he would definitely punish me."
"Thin-skinned?"
Yang Liushi had already adjusted her mentality, but when she heard this, she was stunned again.
"Why do you say that?"
"this."
Zhang San realized that he had said something wrong and was about to brush it off.
But he thought again, thinking that since he had already said everything else, this last point wouldn't matter, so he lowered his voice and answered in a low voice:
"Ma'am, you don't know."
"At that time, in order to save you, the young master not only promised to owe Miss Xu a favor, but also told Miss Xu in the letter, cough."
"He said that this time he was the one asking Miss Xu for help."
"Madam, do you think that the young master has ever asked anyone for help?"
"Not to mention Miss Xu, who has already parted ways with the young master."
"In my humble opinion, the young master must have felt that this matter was too embarrassing, so he didn't tell you, Madam."
"But in my opinion, this is nothing."
“.”
With his head lowered, Zhang San continued to chatter endlessly.
But Yang Liushi could no longer hear his voice.
Unable to hold back the tears any longer, she covered her mouth tightly and slowly turned her head to look at Wei Changtian who was standing under a tree in the yard in the distance listening to Chu Xianping talk.
As luck would have it, the latter also happened to glance over here at this moment.
At this time, the two were about twenty feet apart. Although it was blurry, Yang Liushi could vaguely see Wei Changtian's expression.
Wei Changtian smiled at her, as if to show that he was confident so that Yang Liushi wouldn't have to worry about Xinfeng's affairs.
“.”
The waning moon has gone, and the new sun is rising in the east.
Staring blankly at the figure, Yang Liushi felt that the sunlight around her suddenly became extremely warm, melting away all the doubts and struggles in her heart.
Yang Liushi no longer cared about Su Xiu's words that "a monster is still a monster after all", Wei Zhaohai's warning that "you must not give birth to a child for Changtian", and the beginning of her relationship with Wei Changtian that was associated with Tang Chen.
I don’t care now, and I won’t care in the future.
Because she knew that she had already got everything. "Ah! Sister Liu Shi, why are you crying?"
Suddenly, Liang Qin's hurried voice interrupted Yang Liushi's thoughts.
The latter retracted his gaze, looked at Liang Qin who looked nervous, then looked at Zhang San who looked extremely nervous, wiped his eyes and smiled:
"I'm fine. I just accidentally got some sand in my eyes."
"Sister Liu Shi, although I'm not as smart as you, I'm not that stupid."
Liang Qin obviously didn't believe her fake excuse and glared at Zhang San.
"Zhang San! Did you say something you shouldn't have said that made Sister Liu Shi cry?"
"Tell me quickly! Otherwise I'll tell Brother Changtian!"
"Ah? Ma'am, I didn't say anything."
Zhang San didn't understand why Yang Liushi was crying in the first place, so he didn't dare to repeat what he had just said to Liang Qin. He could only stammer in response while looking at Yang Liushi for help.
The latter understood what she meant, smiled, grabbed Liang Qin's hand and walked away.
"Sister Liang, it's not Zhang San's fault. I just thought of some sad things."
"Hmm? What's the sad news?"
"How can I tell you about sad things? Won't it make you sad too?"
"But we are sisters, Sister Liu Shi, please tell me something! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep for several days!"
"Well, let me think about it."
"Sister Liu Shi! I knew you were lying to me!"
"Goose, goose, goose, I'm not lying to you."
"Look, look! You are smiling now! How could you smile if you were really sad!"
"Yeah, did I laugh?"
"What a happy laugh!"
“Then I won’t laugh anymore.”
“.”
Outside the courtyard gate, maids and servants were still unloading the luggage from the carriage one after another, complaining in low voices that they had wasted all the trouble this morning.
At the gate of the courtyard, Zhang San stared in amazement as Yang Liushi and Liang Qin slowly walked away, feeling both uneasy and confused.
In the breeze, the two girls' voices became quieter and quieter, and the hems of their skirts, one white and one blue, swayed gently with their steps.
The morning dew hangs on the tips of a few grass leaves by the roadside, reflecting the light of spring in the world.
