Chapter 708 Coincidence?
Let’s discuss the Xinfeng war again.
After taking a look at the secret letter in his hand, Wei Changtian did not rush to open it, but threw the letter on the table.
Judging from the current situation, although the two countries of Qian and Hui have been unable to capture Fengyuan City for a long time, if I do not get involved, they should still be able to break through Fengyuan and occupy the entire territory of Xinfeng.
But if I insist on reinforcing Xu Suisui, it’s hard to say what the battle situation will become.
It is obvious that from being full of confidence to suffering setbacks one after another, Qian Huierguo has already discovered that something is wrong.
That's why they wanted to negotiate with me again, and their purpose was nothing more than to persuade me to give up supporting Xinfeng.
Of course, compared to the last secret letter full of threats from Jing Guoqing, Qian Hui’s attitude towards the two countries will certainly be much more moderate this time.
It’s just that they want to talk, but Wei Changtian may not be willing to talk.
"Tell the Zhanshi Mansion that there is no need to reply."
With a disdainful smile, Wei Changtian said to Zhang San: "Let them wait in Huailing."
"yes."
Zhang San nodded immediately, and then said, "By the way, sir, the lady has returned to Shuzhou City."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian nodded slightly, and after a moment's silence, he asked, "Where is Chu Xianping? Where is he?"
"We have reached the border of Luzhou and will reach Qingzhou tomorrow."
After Zhang San answered, he moved closer and continued in a low voice:
"Master, Master Chu seemed to have gone to meet someone last night, and the brothers who were following him didn't follow him."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned and narrowed his eyes slightly: "When did it happen?"
"I left my residence at about midnight and returned at 3 pm, so there were about two hours in between."
Zhang San replied, "The people who were following us said that Master Chu turned into an alley and then disappeared."
"That alley is a dead end, and there is a small lake at the end, so Mr. Chu may have entered a house in the alley."
"Sir, can we?"
"Don't alert the enemy yet."
Wei Changtian frowned and waved his hand to interrupt, "Wait a few days until Chu Xianping arrives in Qingzhou, and then we'll investigate who lives in that alley."
"Yes, I understand!"
"Anything else?"
“Not yet.”
"Okay, go ahead. By the way, call Li Zimu over."
"yes!"
With a bow, Zhang San quickly bent down and walked out of the tent.
Wei Changtian was still thinking about Chu Xianping with his chin down.
Luzhou, going to meet someone in the middle of the night, for two hours. Two years ago, on the way to being "exiled" to Shuzhou, Wei Changtian passed through Luzhou and participated in a flower appreciation meeting with Liang Zhen.
Apart from the "Little Dongguan" Anyi County, he had no special impression of this provincial capital located in the eastern part of Daning.
Similarly, Chu Xianping probably doesn't have any relatives or friends there.
So, who did he go to see?
A Freemason? A Kuilong?
Xu Suisui's people? Wei Changtian pondered for a long time, and then suddenly a bold idea came to him at a certain moment.
Last night at midnight, Chu Xianping went to meet a mysterious person, or did something.
Then this morning, Qian returned to the two countries and sent a message saying that he wanted to negotiate with him again.
So, coincidence? Am I overthinking it?
But isn't this just too coincidental? "General Liang, this is the list of suspicious people found today."
Just as Wei Changtian was wondering who Chu Xianping had gone to meet, in a side tent not far from the main army tent, Tang Chen had just handed a list to Liang Zhen.
In the past few days, he and Li Zimu have been checking for spies in the army, and they can find dozens of them every day.
Of course, not all of these spies were sent by the two countries of Qianhui.
Some of them are Ning Wenjun’s people, some are Dajue’s people, and some are from other forces.
However, according to Wei Changtian's instructions, Tang Chen doesn't need to worry about these things. He just needs to identify all the suspicious people.
As for whether to kill or release him, Liang Zhen will handle the rest of the matter.
"Okay, thank you, Master Tang."
After taking the list, Liang Zhen did not stay here for long and quickly turned around and left the side tent.
After he left, Li Zimu, who was also in the account, stretched lazily.
"Oh~ So tired!"
"Mr. Tang, we should be almost done with the investigation, right?"
To be honest, although Li Zimu's figure is not as good as Yang Liushi and others, it is also well-proportioned.
Especially now with the "blessing" of action, the overall curve presented can even be said to be somewhat attractive.
"Um"
On the other side, Tang Chen looked quite embarrassed.
He did not dare to look at Li Zimu, so he pretended to tidy up the writing materials on the table until the latter put his arm down before continuing:
"At the moment, only the Qingfeng Camp and the Yulin Camp have not yet been checked. It will probably take three days at most."
"Three days, we will almost reach Huailing"
Li Zimu nodded and walked to Tang Chen. After seeing his actions, he couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, Mr. Tang, why are you moving these papers around?"
"Ah! I"
Tang Chen felt even more embarrassed for a moment. He subconsciously retracted his hand, stammering, not knowing how to explain.
Li Zimu laughed even harder when he saw this, and continued to tease him, "Ee, ee, ee, Master Tang, we have known each other for such a long time, why are you still so afraid of me?"
"I'm not afraid of being alone with you, so what are you afraid of?"
"Are you afraid that I might molest you?"
"I, I"
Tang Chen's tone was still stuttering and his expression was still embarrassed.
However, he now looks much more "calm" than he was a few days ago, probably because Li Zimu often teases him like this.
"Miss Li, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Looking at the smiling Li Zimu, Tang Chen finally adjusted his mentality after a while, lowered his head and said silently: "I grew up in the sect since I was young, surrounded by fellow disciples, let alone girls, there are not even a few hens."
"So I really don't know how to get along with women, and I really don't know how to please women."
"I know you'll find me boring, but..."
Having said this, Tang Chen still opened his mouth, but there was no further words.
I originally wanted to say something like "But I will treat you well", but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Therefore, he could only stand there awkwardly again until Li Zimu's voice rang out.
“I don’t find it boring.”
It seemed like comfort, or like sincerity. The teasing look in Li Zimu's eyes had disappeared, leaving only a faint smile like water.
"Mr. Tang, other women might think you are dull and inflexible."
"But in my opinion, men like you are the most reliable."
“.”
With his cheeks slightly red, Li Zimu's voice became softer and softer, and he lowered his head a little.
Tang Chen just stared at her blankly, his breathing becoming more and more rapid.
The atmosphere in the tent became extremely ambiguous because of this sentence. If it were a TV series in the previous life, it would not be impossible for them to kiss each other.
Of course, they couldn't kiss each other right now.
But the relationship between them has been brought closer again.
"Miss Li, Miss Li"
Tang Chen squeezed out two words from his throat, and he didn't know where he got the courage from, and he was ready to say the half sentence that he couldn't say just now.
But at this moment, Zhang San's voice outside the tent suddenly interrupted this rare atmosphere.
"Miss Li!"
"The Master wants you to come over right now!"
