Chapter 703 Going and Coming
"Sir, at 3 p.m. yesterday, the Qianhui army began a full-scale attack on the city."
An incense stick later, when Wei Changtian saw Chu Xianping, this was the first sentence the latter said to him.
"From 3 p.m. to this morning, in just eight hours, they have already rushed onto the Fengyuan city wall several times."
This is the second sentence.
"According to the current situation, Fengyuan City will be captured within ten days."
This is the third sentence.
"Sir, we have to do something."
This is the fourth sentence.
In the first four sentences after the meeting, Chu Xianping talked about how critical the situation in Xinfeng was.
If Wei Changtian didn't know what he had said to Yan Huaiqing, he might not have any doubts at this time.
After all, these things are definitely facts, and Chu Xianping just reported them with a little "personal subjective emotion".
But now... "Brother Chu, don't worry. I know everything about the Xinfeng war."
With a smile, Wei Changtian motioned Chu Xianping to sit down first, and he turned around to get a letter from the desk.
The morning sun shone through the window. He placed the letter in front of Chu Xianping and said with a smile:
"I was thinking of looking for you, but you just happened to come."
"That's right, I have another important thing to tell you."
"Another thing?"
Chu Xianping glanced at the envelope on the table and said seriously, "Sir, please speak."
"Well, this matter is also very important."
Wei Changtian nodded, emphasized the importance first, and then gave a brief account of the "sword-hunting" matter.
".These four swords will be of great use to me, so we can't delay any longer."
"Brother Chu, I thought about it last night and I felt that I would only feel relieved if I sent you."
"Of course. I know that the war is imminent and you must be worried about the war here."
"But I have already made plans to reinforce Xinfeng. With the help of Li Zimu and Du Chang, I think there will be no accidents in this battle."
"So you should just focus on finding these four swords."
“.”
Amid Chu Xianping's increasingly surprised eyes, Wei Changtian finished his words calmly and without hesitation because of the former's reaction.
He didn't even ask Chu Xianping whether he was willing or not at the end. Even though his tone was very calm, he was undoubtedly giving a direct order.
As for Chu Xianping's reaction to this , "Sir, it should be enough to leave this matter to Xuan Jing Division and Freemasonry."
It was obvious that even though Wei Changtian said that finding the swords was also very important, Chu Xianping did not want to look for the four swords.
But he did not refuse directly, but tried to persuade Wei Changtian to give the task to someone else.
But how could Wei Changtian, who had already made up his mind, do what he wanted?
"Brother Chu, I just said that I don't trust others with this matter."
His expression remained unchanged, and he even picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chu Xianping.
Watching the clear tea pouring from the pot into the cup, Wei Changtian said calmly:
"Just go and make the trip. If it's quick, you'll be back in two or three months at most."
"Oh, yes, this letter contains the information about the four swords. It clearly states where they are and in whose hands they are now."
Pushing the envelope forward, the meaning of Wei Changtian's action could not be more obvious.
Chu Xianping just held the envelope in a daze and did not pick it up.
He looked up at Wei Changtian, as if he had guessed something, and his tone became a little difficult.
"Sir, it is wartime now, and there is a lot of information coming and going from place to place. I am afraid that the Tianji Academy..."
"This is even simpler."
Before Chu Xianping finished speaking, Wei Changtian interrupted with a smile, "Let's hand over Tianjiyuan to Zhang San for the time being."
“.”
Leave Tianjiyuan to Zhang San.
Although Wei Changtian said "for now", they both probably knew very well whether he would return this power to Chu Xianping in the future.
"Brother Chu, what's wrong?"
After taking a look at Chu Xianping who was keeping his head down and saying nothing, Wei Changtian smiled.
"You don't have to worry about Zhang San not being able to do this job. You know that he has a photographic memory."
"Or do you have other concerns?"
"It's okay. If you have any concerns, just tell us and we can discuss how to solve them."
“.”
"there is none left."
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xianping answered a little slowly.
He did not find any excuses to refuse the mission of "finding the sword", nor did he say anything else.
He reached out and picked up the envelope, stood up and bowed to Wei Changtian.
"Sir, if that's the case, I will go and hand over all matters concerning the Tianji Academy to Zhang San, and then I will pack up and set out to look for the sword immediately."
"Well, go ahead."
"yes."
“.”
A "go ahead" and a "yes".
As the door opened and closed, the conversation between the two ended.
And the whole process can be said to be too simple.
It was as if Wei Changtian had no intention of deliberately concealing his suspicion of Chu Xianping, and he actually kicked the latter out of the Xinfeng war in the most straightforward way, and also took away his power to manage the Tianjiyuan.
Yes.
Wei Changtian has only two goals today.
The first is to exclude Chu Xianping from the battle of Xinfeng.
The second is to take the most critical intelligence center back into our own hands.
As for why he did not choose a more subtle or covert means to achieve these two goals, but was so straightforward, it was because he wanted to give Chu Xianping another chance.
Chu Xianping could definitely hear something wrong in the conversation just now.
To put it bluntly, Chu Xianping must have guessed that he was already wary of him.
In this situation, if Chu Xianping chose to tell everything truthfully, then Wei Changtian might reconsider his next move.
But unfortunately, Chu Xianping said nothing.
“.”
Looking at the closed door, Wei Changtian shook his head with a very complicated expression.
At the same time, Chu Xianping, who had already reached the end of the corridor outside the house, slowly stopped.
For safety reasons, Wei Changtian's guest room was on the second floor of the inn, so he had to walk up a flight of stairs to get up.
“Go upstairs” when coming, “go downstairs” when leaving.
At this moment, these two ordinary actions had some other meanings in Chu Xianping's eyes.
Looking back at the door, there seemed to be a lot of emotions in his eyes.
Reluctance, doubt, struggle, loneliness.
Just from the look in his eyes, even if Li Zimu or Tang Chen came, it would be impossible to tell whether he was an enemy or a friend.
Even Chu Xianping himself seemed unclear about the matter.
"well"
With a soft sigh, he withdrew his gaze, slowly walked down the stairs and walked out of the inn.
“Peach Blossom Cake~Peach Blossom Cake~Delicious and inexpensive!”
"Scallion pancakes! Wide and thin fresh noodles! Meat and vegetable porridge! Come in and have a taste, sir!"
"Excuse me, excuse me! Don't bump into the girl!"
"Wow!! I don't want to go to school!!"
“.”
The streets were bustling with people in the early morning, and Chu Xianping looked a little lonely in the crowded crowd.
When he reached the corner of the street, a woman in a white dress and walking hurriedly passed by him.
Chu Xianping didn't pay attention to this man, but the woman turned around and looked at him, as if she thought this well-dressed young man was a little strange.
But soon, the woman shook her head and put the matter behind her.
"call"
Taking a deep breath, the woman in the white dress looked up at the inn not far away with all the windows closed, and stood there hesitating for a long time.
Then, as if she had made some great decision, she gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and walked towards the inn.
