Chapter 725 One Third of the Truth
Return to the King, Lu Hongji.
When Chu Xianping arrived in Dahui through the teleportation array located in the Dongji Sea and met the Dahui emperor, he was destined to create a huge wave in history.
As to where this huge wave will sweep to and who it will drown, it is still unknown at this time.
However, judging from Chu Xianping and Lu Hongji's current performance, they should have reached some kind of alliance, or cooperation. At the heavily guarded foot of Beizhong Mountain, the two exchanged a few simple polite words and then got on the carriage together.
At the same time they were leaving in the car, Wei Changtian, who was far away in the Xinfeng Palace, looked directly into Xu Suisui's eyes and asked the first question.
"What exactly is your system?"
What is Xu Suisui's system? This is the key to solving all the mysteries.
In Guanghan County, when Wei Changtian went alone to stop the Zhenshan Camp, he already had a guess.
However, at that time he did not ask Xu Suisui whether his idea was right or not.
And Xu Suisui has never explicitly admitted it.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, this matter is still a mystery.
As for Wei Changtian's guess , changing the "original plot" would explain many of Xu Suisui's actions, but there is still one thing that doesn't make sense logically.
That is why Xu Suisui wanted to be a "riddler"? You know, unlike Wei Changtian and Xiao Feng, who had a blood feud as soon as they crossed over, there was obviously no direct conflict of interest between Xu Suisui and Wei Changtian.
In this case, Xu Suisui could choose to tell Wei Changtian the original plot direction, and then the two of them could negotiate the distribution of interests and finally choose a solution that is beneficial to both parties.
For any sane person, this should be the best solution.
But Xu Suisui didn't do that.
From secretly sending a message to You Wenzong not to enter Niutou Mountain, to quietly finding Qin Zhengqiu, to stealing the token of the remnant soul to interfere with the Kuilong Elder Council, and then to gathering a group of people to set up a new Feng... Although all these things she did more or less touched upon Wei Changtian's interests, as long as she could give a reasonable explanation, Wei Changtian might not necessarily stop her.
After all, no matter what, Xu Suisui did do a lot of things that were beneficial to Wei Changtian.
So why didn't she reveal her motives? Was it just because she didn't trust herself as a time traveler?
Obviously, Wei Changtian felt that the reason should not be that simple.
That's why he asked the question directly in such a straightforward way.
As for Xu Suisui's reaction to this, "I"
Pinching the corner of his clothes, Xu Suisui gently shook his head.
"I can't say."
“.”
The previous second, she told Wei Changtian to ask as much as he wanted, but when Wei Changtian really asked her, she didn't say anything.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Suisui's "inconsistent" behavior would undoubtedly make people feel unhappy.
However, this time Wei Changtian's expression did not change.
Because Xu Suisui said "no".
No, this means that she is not unwilling to speak, but is subject to some kind of "restriction".
And if we think about the conventional setting of the confidentiality of the "system" in the previous online articles, "Okay, then I'll tell you."
Nodding, Wei Changtian stood up and paced slowly back and forth in the room.
"The reason you can't say it is probably because of your system."
"You can't proactively disclose the existence of the system? Or you can't disclose the details?"
"In short, it should be a similar restriction."
"If you violate it, you will die?"
Looking at Xu Suisui whose eyes were wide open, Wei Changtian knew that his guess was probably right.
He paused, then continued:
"What about the plot in the original novel?"
"You always said you were helping me, but you refused to tell me why you did those things."
"In this way, you can't reveal things that haven't happened?"
"Well that's not right."
"You clearly told me and Ning Yongnian in advance about the upcoming invasion of the four countries, and also mentioned the hidden dangers of the Tiaoyue Sword in the future."
“These two things haven’t happened yet.”
Wei Changtian stopped talking while holding his chin.
It would be more accurate to say that he was talking to himself rather than asking Xu Suisui.
In fact, his guess makes sense.
After all, the reason why Xu Suisui has to be so thankless as a "riddler" may be that he has no choice.
You can't directly tell others what will happen in the future, you can only change the plot through your own actions. Just like when she was in Guanghan County, she didn't directly tell Wei Changtian that Zhenshan Camp was around the Shu Army's breakout route, but tried to delay the Shu Army's breakout time by setting fire.
If this is true, then the underlying logic behind most of Xu Suisui's behavior makes sense.
But there are still two contradictions.
Just like what Wei Changtian just said.
First, at Lingbo Pavilion, Xu Suisui told him and Ning Yongnian in person that the four countries were about to invade Fengning and Ning.
Second, after Ning Yongnian died and the situation of three-way division of the world was formed, Xu Suisui sent another secret letter, telling him that Old Zhang had his Tiao Yue Sword accidentally robbed by a group of robbers on his way back to Baidian, which would lead to the emergence of many quasi-first-class masters in the future.
These two things can undoubtedly be regarded as "leaking the secret."
But isn’t Xu Suisui doing nothing? "."
The logic reached a dead end again. Wei Changtian frowned, not knowing how to continue the analysis for a moment.
System limitations, this is the only reason he can think of to explain Xu Suisui's behavior.
But the facts prove that...
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, like a flash of lightning passing through his mind, Wei Changtian's pupils suddenly contracted.
Recalling once again the difficult situation of Fengyuan City that he had witnessed tonight, an extremely bizarre guess gradually emerged in his mind.
Without a doubt.
If it weren't for me, Xu Suisui would have died half an hour ago.
If it weren't for the 300,000 reinforcements from Ning Shu, Xinfeng would have been destroyed within five days.
Since Xu Suisui knew all this already, why didn't she make corresponding arrangements in advance?
Yes, she did use many means, and she did defend Fengyuan for half a month with a force ten times larger than the enemy.
But to be honest, her responses did not seem like "advance planning" but rather more like hasty responses.
Yes! It’s a hasty response!
It was as if she had not expected that Qian Huierguo would actually call! "I understand."
Slowly turning his head to look at Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian took a deep breath.
Putting aside all personal subjective emotions and looking down at the overall situation, he finally found the last way out of the maze of thinking.
The invasion of the four countries in Qianhuijueji is indeed a fact.
But this does not mean that this is Xu Suisui's "prophecy coming true"! "In the book you read, Qian Hui Shiguo did not actually start a war in the end."
“.”
The agarwood has gone out and the candlelight is flickering.
In the book you read, Qian Hui and the Four Kingdoms did not actually start a war in the end.
His body trembled violently. Hearing this, Xu Suisui felt like he was struck by lightning, and his breathing instantly became extremely rapid.
Wei Changtian then slowly spoke to her in the face of her extremely shocked eyes, "You wanted to stop the war between Feng and Ning, and to stop the civil strife within Daning, so you made up a lie and told Ning Yongnian and me that foreign enemies were coming."
"You knew I would believe you, and I did."
"However, you didn't expect that even so, I still killed Ning Yongnian."
"You never expected that the butterfly effect caused by Ning Yongnian's death would actually lead to this war."
"You were caught off guard, but you could only fight back in panic."
"In order to make up for your mistakes, you sought the help of the Buddhist sect, attempting to fight against the two countries of Qianhui on your own."
"But the plot has changed so much by now that you don't know that many people in the Buddhist community have rebelled."
"This caused the situation in Xinfeng to take a sharp turn for the worse, and you could only defend the isolated city of Fengyuan, and you even almost lost your life just now."
"Haha, I was wondering why Fengyuan's situation was so critical, but you just stood there and said nothing."
"I was wondering why Chu Xianping rebelled, which was such a big deal, but you actually had no idea about it."
"I was wondering why Old Zhang, who clearly knew the art of escape, was actually robbed of the Moon-Stirring Sword Manual by a bunch of crappy robbers."
"Fuck! Everything you said before we got together was a lie!"
“.”
From calm to grim, to uncontrollable anger.
Wei Changtian stared at Xu Suisui, whose face was pale, and the latter's frightened look proved that what he had just said must be true.
"I, I didn't know things would turn out like this."
He clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and his finger joints even turned white from squeezing too hard.
Xu Suisui didn't dare to look Wei Changtian in the eye. She just trembled and sobbed, "I want to tell you the truth, but, but I can't say it."
"If you can't just say you don't know how to do it, then don't say it?! If you can't tell the truth, then you have to lie?!"
Wei Changtian interrupted her explanation with an angry roar: "Do you think you are so great? Everything is under your control?!"
"It's okay if you want to die! Don't fucking hurt me!"
"Bang!"
"Crackle!"
Wei Changtian was undoubtedly extremely angry at this time, even swearing.
He waved his hand and overturned the eight-immortal table in front of him, and the teacups, teapots and other items on the table fell to the ground in a mess.
“.”
The tea splashed on her golden skirt. Xu Suisui bit her lips tightly, her eyes red.
Grievance, self-blame, guilt, regret. Complex emotions surged into her heart, making her not know how to face Wei Changtian at the moment.
In fact, the purpose of all she had done before was really for Wei Changtian's own good.
But she never expected that she would get the opposite result in the end. "Yes, I'm sorry."
Mustering up all her courage, Xu Suisui walked up to Wei Changtian, stepping on the porcelain shards on the ground, and tremblingly pulled at the corner of the latter's clothes.
"I, I know I was wrong."
"What else do you want to ask?"
"Even if I die, I will tell you."
"Don't be angry, I'm scared."
"OK"
