Chapter 716 Let Him Go
The starry sky is vast and boundless, the bright moon is shrouded in mist and cold sand.
The hazy figure was coated with the jade-white moonlight, blurry, desolate and silent.
Standing on the top of Huailing City, Wei Changtian, who was in the darkness, looked at the lights of thousands of houses below him. The sharp contrast between light and dark was like a fine brush painting with only two colors.
To this day, no matter how confused and puzzled he is, no matter how many questions he has not figured out, the truth has come to light.
Chu Xianping actually rebelled To be honest, Wei Changtian had anticipated this outcome and had made preparations in advance.
But at this moment his mood was still extremely complicated.
“.”
"Young Master."
Accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, Li Zimu climbed up the city wall, walked to Wei Changtian and shook his head.
"Five hundred people died. He should have been alert and made arrangements in advance."
"Really?"
With a wry smile, Wei Changtian showed no surprise.
After all, this is Chu Xianping, how could he be captured by me so easily?
"What about Shuzhou City? Has Song Li been captured?"
"Caught."
Li Zimu quickly replied: "There are also several deputy leaders of the Freemasonry, who are now imprisoned in the Sky Prison."
"Well, don't keep him in jail after the trial."
Wei Changtian nodded slightly: "Let's find a few houses and put these people under house arrest temporarily."
"yes."
Li Zimu nodded gently, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Sir, what should we do next with Chu Xianping?"
"well"
Without answering immediately, Wei Changtian just sighed heavily and looked at the vast lights below.
After a while, he silently asked, "Can we still contact him now?"
"No."
Li Zimu took out a piece of mother-and-child jade from his sleeve. There was an obvious crack on the surface of the jade.
This situation is very common and is caused by damage to the paired mother and child jade.
"Sir, it's not just me, the Freemasons are the same too."
"Chu Xianping must have destroyed all the mother-and-child jades on his body."
"Yes, I understand."
Wei Changtian smiled bitterly and retracted his gaze: "Then let him be."
"Anyway, if he wants to escape, we shouldn't be able to find him."
"The most important thing now is the Freemasonry matter. There are also things like secret messages and so on. We need to deal with them quickly."
"Minimize the losses first, and then the rest."
"We'll talk about it later."
“.”
Let him be.
It is obvious that Wei Changtian's attitude is not "tolerance" but "helplessness".
With Chu Xianping's ability, it would undoubtedly be very easy for him to escape the pursuit of Xuan Jingsi.
And now it seems that he must have secretly built up a strong force a long time ago, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to kill all the 500 people from Xuan Jing Si.
Wei Changtian is not sure where this power comes from.
Freemasonry, Daqian Dahui, Kuilong, or even Xu Suisui, all are possible.
However, although we don't know where these people came, judging from their strength in that they wiped out 500 people from Xuan Jing Si without causing much noise, there must be many top-three-grade masters among them.
Kuilong? Shaking his head, Wei Changtian did not guess any further.
Or maybe it doesn’t make much sense to think about these things now.
As I just said, since Chu Xianping has already rebelled, the top priority is not to settle accounts with him, but to quickly recover the losses.
Thinking from this perspective, it seems that Chu Xianping did not do anything too extreme.
The actions of the states went smoothly tonight, and there was no resistance from the entire Freemasonry.
He didn't hide Song Li either, and even left behind the Chixiao Sword.
Is it out of guilt? Feeling sorry for yourself?
Wei Changtian didn’t know, but he felt that it should be like this.
But if you feel guilty, why should you fight back? "Okay."
Not knowing whether he was talking to Li Zimu or to himself, Wei Changtian shook his head and didn't think about it any further.
"Order Xuan Jingsi to send the Scarlet Sky Sword over here, and tell my father to go find the remaining three swords."
After giving his final instructions, Wei Changtian turned around and faced the outside of Huailing City, waving his hand.
"That's it for tonight."
"We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
“.”
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Looking at the lonely figure in front of him, Li Zimu spoke calmly, but there was some pain in his heart.
She was suffering from her own "incompetence".
Why didn't I notice Chu Xianping's abnormality? Why did I have a crush on him?
At this moment, Li Zimu even hated Chu Xianping a little.
She hated Chu Xianping for betraying Wei Changtian.
And this was even more unacceptable to Li Zimu than betrayal.
"Da, da, da"
He took a few steps silently and looked back at Wei Changtian who was still standing there.
Li Zimu looked at him for a long time with a complicated expression, but finally said nothing. He just clenched his fists, turned around and walked down the city wall step by step.
"Miss Li!"
Tang Chen, who had been waiting at the foot of the city wall, saw her coming down, and immediately walked over quickly, and asked with a worried look on his face, "Is the young master okay?"
Tang Chen was also present when the negotiation was just taking place with the three envoys, so he naturally knew about the collusion between Chu Xianping and the Qianhui countries.
Although he had only followed Wei Changtian for a month, his motive was entirely Li Zimu.
But now the concern in these words is very sincere.
"Mr. Tang, Mr. is fine."
Looking at Tang Chen with a frown on his face, Li Zimu said softly, "But you know the relationship between the young master and Chu Xianping. It would be hard for anyone to accept such a thing for a while."
"I want to do something for you, but I don't know how."
"Alas, I just hope I can help you more in the future."
Li Zimu sighed, his expression a little lonely.
Her last sentence seemed to be talking about herself, but in fact it also implicitly included Tang Chen.
However, the latter did not notice this, he just nodded and asked hesitantly:
"Miss Li, are you okay?"
“.”
The first sentence asked about Wei Changtian's situation, and the second sentence asked about Li Zimu's situation.
Although the sentence structure is the same, the meanings of Tang Chen's two questions are different.
After all, it was Chu Xianping who betrayed Wei Changtian, not Li Zimu.
And Tang Chen didn't know that Li Zimu had already given up on Chu Xianping, and he thought that she must be struggling in pain now, so he asked this question.
As for how Li Zimu responded, "Mr. Tang, three days ago, you called me over to talk about something. Do you remember this?"
“.”
Tang Chen was stunned. How could he not remember this?
After Li Zimu went to find Wei Changtian, his "temperament changed drastically" and he even drove him away coldly, as if he had become a different person.
Neither of them has intentionally mentioned what happened that night in the past two days, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Therefore, when Tang Chen heard Li Zimu mention it again, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
But he was not stupid after all. After a brief moment of daze, he soon understood something and suddenly raised his head and asked:
"Miss Li, could it be that you had already..."
"Yes, I knew that day that Chu Xianping might have betrayed you."
Li Zimu nodded, with a guilty tone: "Mr. Tang, I was very confused that night, so I was so upset about you."
“I’m sorry.”
"No, it's okay."
Looking at Li Zimu with lowered eyes, Tang Chen, who finally understood the whole story, would never blame her. He immediately waved his hands and said, "Miss Li, I understand that this must be difficult for you to accept as well."
"But don't worry, I will always be with you."
I will always be with you.
Tang Chen, who said this for the first time, didn't dare to look at Li Zimu, and was even more afraid of getting a negative answer.
But after a moment's silence, Li Zimu did not respond directly to this statement.
She just took half a step forward and stood very close to Tang Chen. She said in a very soft but serious voice: "Mr. Tang, look at me."
"ah?"
Tang Chen was stunned and subconsciously looked up at Li Zimu.
Their eyes met in the moonlight, and he could even smell the faint fragrance from the latter's hair.
For a moment, Tang Chen was at a loss, stammering and trying to say something.
But before he could open his mouth, Li Zimu's voice came into his ears on the night breeze.
"Mr. Tang, answer me seriously."
"Will you marry me?"
