Chapter 710 Li Zimu's Choice
"Miss Li"
Standing in the dim moonlight, looking at the woman in front of him with a cold expression, Tang Chen was stunned.
He never expected that Li Zimu would suddenly become so strange, so strange that he seemed like a completely different person.
“No, it’s okay.”
He opened his mouth and forced a smile.
Tang Chen felt that something big must have happened to make Li Zimu so "concerned".
He wanted to ask something, but before he could say anything, he saw the curtain in front of him fall down again.
As the curtain fell, the front became empty again.
“.”
For a moment, the smile froze on his face.
Tang Chen stood there in a daze for a long time, then turned around silently and walked away step by step.
However, after taking a few steps, he looked back with some concern.
A little light shone through the gap in the tent, and a few flickering flames could be seen a little further away.
The night was crowded with a few dark clouds, and in the depths there seemed to be the low buzzing of night insects.
Soon, Tang Chen left without knowing what his mood was.
Li Zimu, who had been very indifferent to him just now, walked back to the table and sat down, looking at a piece of mother-and-child jade on the table with an expression of great struggle.
She didn't mean to treat Tang Chen like this.
However, what Wei Changtian said in the afternoon made it difficult for Li Zimu to care about Tang Chen.
At this moment, the only person she was thinking about was Chu Xianping.
"Chu Xianping, he may have betrayed the enemy."
"But he should still believe you now."
"There's something I need you to do"
"Whatever method you use, get as much information as possible from him."
"I know this is difficult for you, so I won't force you."
"If you want, then do it."
"If you don't want to, then don't do it"
"Go back and think about it carefully, and give me an answer tomorrow morning."
“.”
Once again recalling every word Wei Changtian said to him, Li Zimu bit his lips and clenched his hands tightly.
The situation is now obvious.
No matter what the reason, Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping no longer trust each other, or have already stood on opposite sides.
Then they all need to make a choice.
Dashu, Daning, Freemasonry, Tongzhou Society, Tengu Army, Kuilong.
Even Xinfeng, Dajue, Daqian, and Dahui. Even though many people don't know about this now, they will surely make a clear decision in the future.
That is, who should we stand behind, Wei Changtian or Chu Xianping?
Faced with such a difficult problem where one could be doomed to failure if the wrong choice was made, Li Zimu didn't know what others would choose.
But for her, on one side is her lifesaver, on the other side is her beloved, she already knew which one was more important.
Her hesitation just now was not because she couldn't make a choice, but because she felt too guilty towards the other person.
But no matter how painful and guilty I feel, since things have come to this point, I still have to take this step and say "I'm sorry"
I closed my eyes and a tear fell on the back of my hand.
Li Zimu murmured softly while sobbing, letting the tears run down his cheeks, and slowly took the mother and child jade in his hand.
The cold wind howled outside the tent, like a panting trapped beast, rolling over the endless army camps.
Thick cold air and choking dust drifted down behind the wind.
"Sir, why do you think Miss Li won't stand on Chu Xianping's side?"
In another dark tent, Yang Liushi and Wei Changtian were already lying on the bed, ready to go to sleep, and they were having a "bedtime chat" session.
"Aren't you afraid that she will not only not help you, but will tell Chu Xianping all these things?"
"Oh~ She won't."
Yawning, Wei Changtian turned over, looked into Yang Liushi's eyes and replied, "At most, she is unwilling to lie to Chu Xianping, but she will never betray me for Chu Xianping."
"Why?"
Yang Liushi blinked and asked in confusion, "Did you give her the Puppet Pill?"
"No."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "But she is not stupid, she knows that going against me will definitely not end well."
"But Miss Li really likes Chu Xianping."
Yang Liushi argued in a low voice: "Many women would do stupid things for their loved ones."
"When I was in Fengqi Pavilion, many of my sisters were deceived by sweet words."
"Those men are mostly poor scholars or businessmen who can't make it in business. They are the most eloquent."
"Many sisters believed their words and were willing to become prostitutes to help them pass the imperial examinations and do business."
"When these men took the money, they swore that they would redeem the sisters and marry them as their principal wives after they passed the imperial examination or their business became big."
"But what about the end?"
"Even if someone really succeeds in passing the imperial examinations or becomes wealthy, they still end up betraying their friends in the end."
"I have been in Fengqi Pavilion for five years, and I have never seen a man come to fulfill his promise."
“.”
As Yang Liushi thought about what she saw and heard in Fengqi Pavilion, she went off topic and her tone became a little angry, and it was obvious that she was very disgusted with the behavior of those "scumbags".
Wei Changtian did not interrupt her, but listened to her until she finished speaking, then said with a smile:
"What you said is also correct."
"But don't forget, Li Zimu is not your sisters."
"Don't even mention being cheated by a man. It's good enough that she doesn't cheat on men."
"Look at Tang Chen. Isn't he being fooled by her now?"
"But I didn't say Chu Xianping cheated on her."
Yang Liushi pulled the quilt and explained in a low voice: "I just want to say that once trapped by love, no matter who a woman is, she may do stupid things."
"Even if Miss Li knows that she shouldn't be an enemy of the young master, what if Chu Xianping deceives her with sweet words?"
Suddenly, Yang Liushi's voice stopped abruptly, as if he understood something.
Wei Changtian smiled and said in line with her thoughts:
"Look, you also said it was a lie."
"If Chu Xianping really loves Li Zimu, then he would never involve Li Zimu."
"On the other hand, if Chu Xianping intends to use Li Zimu to deal with me, then he must not be sincere."
"Do you think Li Zimu doesn't understand this principle?"
"So, no matter what, Li Zimu will at least not do anything to harm me."
"At best, they won't help each other."
“.”
"I see."
After hearing this, Yang Liushi finally understood why Wei Changtian was so confident.
She hesitated for a moment and asked softly:
"Sir, do you think Chu Xianping is sincere to Miss Li?"
"I don't know about that."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I'm not Tang Chen. It's too easy for Chu Xianping to hide his thoughts from me."
"But I don't need to know. As long as Li Zimu can see it, that's enough."
"Besides, whether he's sincere or not, it won't do any harm to me."
"Well, that's true."
Yang Liushi nodded in agreement, and her long hair scattered on the pillow also moved.
"If Chu Xianping is sincere, then as long as Miss Li is still with the young master, he will definitely be cautious when doing things."
"And if he is fake, then Miss Li won't be bothered anymore."
"Yes, that's the truth."
After yawning again, Wei Changtian was really feeling a little sleepy now.
"Okay, go to sleep."
"Um"
“.”
Finally, the "bedside conversation" between the two came to an end, and the tent returned to complete peace.
On the other side, Li Zimu, who had already received a reply from Chu Xianping, was staring at the rice paper in his hand in a daze.
Just now, she sent a message to Chu Xianping, the content of which was something like "The young master seems to be suspicious of you. What exactly happened between you and the young master? Do you need my help?"
Of course, Li Zimu said this just to further improve his relationship with Chu Xianping so that he could gradually determine his true purpose from the latter's reaction.
Chu Xianping's response to this was just one sentence.
Or rather, there is only one problem.
[Zi Mu, do you believe me? ]
