Chapter 702: The Frosty Moon Over the Long Road
I don’t know who once said in the previous life that loyalty is only because the chips for betrayal are not enough.
If we put it in a more familiar saying, it would be "There are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests."
Therefore, Wei Changtian never felt that anyone was 100% trustworthy.
After all, even Ning Wenyu, who had taken the Puppet Pill, would betray himself and eventually explode and die.
What about the others? Who can guarantee that there will be no problems for everyone?
People are complicated.
People are constantly changing.
Therefore, Wei Changtian never made a final judgment on anyone based on the stereotypes in "The Peak of Martial Arts".
Just because Chu Xianping didn't rebel in the original novel doesn't mean he won't rebel.
As for whether he really has rebellious intentions now , to be honest, Wei Changtian doesn't know for the time being.
Because he still didn't understand why Chu Xianping was so eager for the war to continue.
In other words, what benefits can Chu Xianping get from this?
He still hasn't found the answer to this question.
But this did not hinder his next action.
In response to Chu Xianping's actions , "Brother Chu, I never thought that you and I would come to this point."
Looking at the candle flame that was almost extinguished, Wei Changtian sighed with some regret.
What he said to Yang Liushi just now was true.
No matter what, he didn't want Chu Xianping to really stand against him one day.
But "hope" and "reality" are two different things.
The sky can be measured, the earth can be measured, but the human heart cannot be guarded against.
So I had to make plans early.
Alas, when there was no such thing as rights, I always thought the more the better.
But now that I have really become the one in power, I find that every step I take has become like walking on thin ice.
Open and covert attacks, intrigue and deception.
The moment Wei Changtian began to doubt Chu Xianping, no matter what the final result was, he knew that he had changed.
In fact, he doesn't want to be overly cautious and think twice before doing anything.
But what can we do about it ? "
"Boom, boom, boom, boom"
"At 4:00 a.m., the sky was freezing cold, with no clouds and no wind."
Outside the window, the weak sound of the night watch was intermittent.
The night watchman in a straw raincoat held a lantern in one hand and beat the bamboo clapper in front of his chest with a wooden stick with the other hand, walking through the alleys like a wandering ghost.
Jinzhou City was silent in the dead of night, with only the stars in the night sky flickering.
The building is full of frosty moon and the road is long.
The only son of the Wei family who was "dressed in fine clothes, riding a fierce horse, and was wild and arrogant", the naughty man who dared to lead people to surround the prime minister's residence on a rainy night and chop off the head of a prime minister with a single knife, is no longer seen.
At this moment, when Wei Changtian was listening to the night watch outside the window and looking at the secret letters and intelligence piled on the table in front of him, he suddenly missed the days before he traveled through time.
He missed the young man whose life was filled with studying and taking exams, and he missed the office worker who was busy working for a living.
He even missed the era filled with meaningless short videos, countless celebrity scandals, and endless trashy TV dramas, an era where people no longer needed to think and were entertained to death.
It’s a pity that all of this can’t be undone.
To this day, Wei Changtian believes that he has accomplished what most time travelers dream of doing.
But he also lost a lot because of it.
Among all the people and things that have been lost, what Wei Changtian misses most at this moment is his former self.
"call!"
With a slight wave of his hand, the last candle in the room went out.
Walk out of the room, through the eaves of the inn, and into another room with candles on.
Looking at the woman sitting at the table with a worried look on her face, Wei Changtian smiled and asked casually:
"What? Are you still thinking about Chu Xianping?"
"No."
Yang Liushi shook her head, bit her lip and replied softly: "Sir, I am worried about you."
"What are you worried about me doing?"
Wei Changtian took off his outer robe, walked to the table and drank a sip of tea: "The situation is still unclear, so Chu Xianping may not be a real rebel."
"To put it another way, even if he really rebelled, since I had already noticed it, how could I let him..."
"Sir."
Looking at Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi suddenly interrupted in a low voice: "I'm not worried about this."
"Hmm? Then what are you worried about?"
"Slave."
Yang Liushi stood up and walked to Wei Changtian, seeming to have a lot to say, but after hesitating for a long time, she just raised her head and asked softly: "Sir, are you tired?"
“.”
Wei Changtian paused in his movements and his expression was obviously stunned.
Because it is obvious that the "tiredness" referred to in Yang Liu's poem is not physical fatigue.
Wei Changtian didn’t know how Yang Liushi could tell his current mood, but when he saw the latter’s extremely distressed look, he suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
"Son, are you tired of studying? You should combine work and rest. I heard there are many clubs in college. You should join them."
"Son, are you tired from work? It's good for young people to be busy, but you also have to take care of your health."
"Son, I saw your circle of friends, why did you work overtime so late yesterday? Your dad told me to tell you, when you have time, go for a run more often and stay up late less."
"Son, if you need money, just tell me. Don't exhaust yourself just for a little money."
"Son, if you are really tired, let's go back home."
“.”
The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and Wei Changtian felt his eyes a little wet for the first time since he traveled through time.
But he soon returned to normal, just smiled and waved his hand, and under Yang Liushi's gaze, he gave the answer that he had said countless times.
"Don't worry."
"I'm fine."
The next morning.
The sun had not yet risen completely, and the eastern sky was only tinged with a slight red glow.
The morning bells of various temples rang one after another, mixing with the loud crowing of roosters, penetrating the morning mist and echoing in the sky above Jinzhou City.
Last night was the fourth time that Wei Changtian did not enter a dream path while sleeping after traveling through time.
And because of this, he got up a little later this morning.
"Um?"
Wei Changtian opened his eyes dazedly and looked at Yang Liushi who was combing her hair in front of a bronze mirror. He yawned and asked, "Heh~ Why didn't you call me?"
"Hehe, it's because I feel sorry for you, young master, and I want you to sleep a little longer."
Yang Liushi returned to the same state she was yesterday, with a very cheerful tone.
Wei Changtian knew that she was deliberately trying not to cause trouble for him, so he smiled, got out of bed and put on his clothes.
"To be honest, it doesn't make any difference whether you comb your hair or not."
Walking behind Yang Liushi, he smiled and teased her, then asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Hmm?"
Yang Liushi turned around with a look of surprise in her eyes: "Sir, are you going to help me comb my hair?"
"nonsense"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "What else can I do?"
"Humph, young master, you are just a thin-skinned person."
Yang Liushi pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted: "It's obviously a good thing, but you have to act impatient."
"Huh? Didn't you say I was thick-skinned yesterday?"
"Can't it be sometimes thick and sometimes thin?"
"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you. Do you want me to help you or not?"
"want!"
Yang Liushi stuffed the wooden comb into Wei Changtian's hand in a huff, her voice was loud but her expression showed obvious anticipation.
Wei Changtian didn't continue arguing with her, he just picked up the comb and prepared to "take action".
But just then "Bang, bang, bang!"
"Young Master!"
"Mr. Chu wants to see you!"
