Chapter 701 Chu Xianping’s True Purpose
“Huh!”
A cool breeze rushed in through the open window, causing all the candles in the room to sway.
Yang Liushi seemed to sense something, and her long eyelashes trembled in the wind.
Yan Huaiqing instigated Chu Xianping to rebel, and the whole thing was actually instigated by the young master. Obviously, Wei Changtian's last sentence just now shocked her greatly.
This not only means that Wei Changtian’s suspicion and worry about Chu Xianping did not just arise tonight.
It also means that in Wei Changtian's plan for this matter, he was ahead of Chu Xianping.
"Young Master."
Taking a deep breath, Yang Liushi realized that she was probably the only person who knew about this matter besides Wei Changtian and Yan Huaiqing.
She also understood that some of the things Chu Xianping said to Yan Huaiqing might not be "appropriate".
So. "Sir, what did Chu Xianping say?"
From "Mr. Chu" to "Chu Xianping", the change in Yang Liushi's address undoubtedly reflects his change in attitude towards Chu Xianping.
Wei Changtian closed his eyes and recalled for a while, then said silently: "It's nothing."
"Since he told me that he was pretending to agree to Yan Huaiqing, he would naturally say something that seemed to be a rebellion."
"but."
"Liu Shi, if someone wants to rebel against you, and you intend to pretend to agree..."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian raised his head and asked, "What would you do?"
"Um"
Yang Liushi thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "I should give that person some insignificant information first, so that he can completely trust me."
"Yes, that's right."
Wei Changtian nodded and sighed, "But Chu Xianping is not like that."
"Yan Huaiqing asked him two questions at that time."
"One is the formula for black powder."
"Second, if Xinfeng is unable to resist Qianhui's army, will I reinforce the former?"
"Chu Xianping can easily get the formula of black gunpowder from the Tiangong Bureau, and he knows that I will definitely help Xinfeng."
"Oh, I owed Xu Suisui a big favor for something, and I promised her that I would pay it back if I could. Chu Xianping knows about this."
"So if it were you at this moment, how would you answer Yan Huaiqing?"
Pressing his temple, Wei Changtian asked Yang Liushi again.
He didn't know that the latter had actually learned the whole story of the teleportation array from Zhang San, so he didn't explain it clearly.
Yang Liushi, who already understood the reason, was moved again when she heard it, and a tenderness appeared in her eyes.
However, while she was moved, she did not forget to answer Wei Changtian's questions.
"If it were a slave."
"The matter of black powder is of great importance. I should either delay or simply refuse. In any case, I will not agree to it."
"As for the second thing, I should tell the truth."
"After all, even if Yan Huaiqing knew about this, it would not be directly harmful to Master Yu."
"What's more, if Yan Huaiqing informed Qianhui and Erguo of this information, the latter would be more cautious in deploying troops against Xinfeng."
"On the contrary, if I don't tell you, or if I tell you a lie, Qian will probably act even more recklessly when he returns to the second country."
“.”
The matter of black gunpowder cannot be mentioned, but the matter of reinforcement of Xinfeng can be mentioned.
This is the answer given by Yang Liushi.
And when she finished speaking and looked at Wei Changtian's expression, she knew that Chu Xianping would definitely not answer Yan Huaiqing in this way.
She thought for a moment, then asked tentatively:
"Sir, on what issue did Chu Xianping's answer differ from mine?"
“.”
"well"
Without speaking immediately, Wei Changtian just sighed, stood up and walked to the window.
He faced the window, as if looking at the pitch-black night. After a long while, he said silently:
“They are all different.”
“.”
Yang Liushi suddenly turned her head to look at Wei Changtian's back and was stunned for a moment.
All different.
This means that Chu Xianping agreed to give Yan Huaiqing the formula for black gunpowder.
And he also told Yan Huaiqing——
If Xinfeng reported an emergency, Wei Changtian would not send troops to help.
"this"
With her eyes wide open in disbelief, Yang Liushi's thoughts were a mess at this moment.
Wei Changtian, who had been thinking about this issue for several days, had a much clearer logic.
"Actually, the first thing is not a big deal. Although Chu Xianping agreed to Yan Huaiqing's request, it doesn't mean that he will come up with the formula right away."
"Anyway, black powder has already been used on the battlefield. Sooner or later, it will be copied by others."
"So it won't do us much harm if Chu Xianping gives us the formula a little later."
"And at least he told me the truth about this."
Taking one last glance at the dark and deep night sky, Wei Changtian slowly closed the wooden window with an expressionless face.
Yang Liushi was even more surprised when he heard this.
If this matter is told truthfully, doesn’t it mean that
“Mr.
She asked blankly, "Didn't Chu Xianping tell you the second thing?"
"No."
Wei Changtian walked back to the table and sat down again: "He said Yan Huaiqing only asked him one question."
"But, why is this?"
Yang Liushi's face was filled with confusion: "Why did he hide this?"
"It's simple, because if he told the truth, he knew I would doubt him."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "So we can only keep it a secret."
"this"
Yang Liushi bit her lip, and after a moment she finally understood what Wei Changtian said.
Just like the answer she just gave.
Facing the second problem, the best solution is to directly tell Yan Huaiqing that Ning Shu and the other two countries will definitely reinforce Xinfeng.
But Chu Xianping did not do so, so he either needed to find a reasonable explanation to convince Wei Changtian, or simply conceal the matter.
It was obvious that Chu Xianping could not come up with an explanation that would avert Wei Changtian's suspicion.
So he had no choice but to choose the latter.
“.”
For a moment, the tea room fell into a long silence.
By now, Yang Liushi had figured out most things, except for the last and most important thing.
"Then why did Chu Xianping lie about whether to aid Xinfeng? And it was such a lie that could be easily exposed?"
“I didn’t figure this out at first.”
"But when I thought about it from his perspective, I finally came up with a guess."
While Wei Changtian put the empty bowls and plates back on the wooden tray, he slowly said, "When Chu Xianping went to Dajue, the battle situation in Xinfeng was still stable. Although the Qianhui army had the upper hand, it had been making slow progress."
"Even if some people in the Buddhist community may have sided with the Qianhui Kingdom at that time, Chu Xianping didn't know about this at the time."
"Add to that the withdrawal of Dajue and Jiguo. From anyone's perspective, Xinfeng should be able to hold out for a long time."
"If he tells Yan Huaiqing that I will definitely help Xinfeng if it's in trouble, how do you think the situation in Xinfeng will develop in Chu Xianping's eyes?"
"this."
Yang Liushi tried to stand in Chu Xianping's perspective at the time and analyzed step by step: "If he told Yan Huaiqing the truth, Yan Huaiqing would naturally tell Qian Huier about this information."
"If Qian Hui and Erguo knew that the young master would help Xinfeng, they would undoubtedly be wary."
"Plus, Xinfeng has the help of Buddhism, so this battle is much more difficult than they imagined."
"Then, in the end, Qian Hui and the two countries will either win with difficulty, or..."
"withdraw troops?!"
Yang Liushi was extremely intelligent, so she quickly came to this conclusion with a look of surprise on her face.
really.
According to this analysis, as the two countries of Jueji have already withdrawn and the two countries of Qianhui have encountered far greater resistance than expected in Xinfeng, this great war will most likely end hastily!
Chu Xianping could clearly see this at the time, so he said, "Sir! Chu Xianping wants to continue this battle?!"
Yang Liushi stood up suddenly and finally understood everything. He was extremely shocked.
That's right.
From Chu Xianping's perspective at the time, there was only one reason why he did this -
That was to keep the war going! He didn't care about the "conditions" Dajue had given him, nor did he care whether the "pretend rebellion" could succeed.
He just wanted to use Yan Huaiqing to tell Daqian and Dahui——
Wei Changtian will not help Xinfeng, you don’t need to worry about this!
Based on this judgment, looking back and analyzing everything that happened in the past few days, everything becomes reasonable.
Why didn't Qian Hui take action against the two countries earlier or later, but just a few days after Chu Xianping returned, he activated the traitors in the Buddhist community and accelerated the pace of attacking Xinfeng in one fell swoop?
Why did Jing Guoqing send a secret letter immediately after the mission was accomplished? The wording between the lines was extremely tough, as if he was sure that there would be no reinforcements.
Why didn't Chu Xianping say a word of opposition when he heard that he decided to save Xinfeng.
Why, after receiving the news that Fengyuan was under siege, he immediately suggested to speed up the march again, and even attempted to let the Tengu Army reach the battlefield first? The truth pointed by all the above has now become obvious.
Chu Xianping not only wants the war to continue, but he also wants Daning and Dashu to rejoin the game as soon as possible!
It is obvious that his plan has now come true.
But there was one thing he had not expected.
That is, I was just acting with him before.
“.”
"Young Master."
There was not much oil left in the candle lamp, and the candlelight gradually became dim.
Feeling a little bit unbelievable, a little bit angry, and a little bit worried, Yang Liushi asked the last question of the night carefully with extremely complicated emotions.
"So it seems that Chu Xianping has already rebelled?"
"I don't know about that. Maybe he has some other plans."
Looking at the struggling and shaking flame in the lampshade, Wei Changtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, also giving the last answer for tonight.
"Anyway, I still hope he doesn't."
