Chapter 764: Heart to Heart
The night was as dark as ink, and the flames of war spread across the prairie.
The battle was still going on in the distance, and with the entry of the Tengu Army's "army", the fighting had entered a white-hot stage.
But unlike the life-and-death fight over there, there was no one around Wei Changtian and the other two.
Of course, this is not difficult to understand.
After all, Zhuang Zhiming and his men disappeared after their sneak attack. Now the three people with the highest levels in the entire battlefield are here. The Qianhui soldiers will not be stupid enough to come here and die.
So even though they were inside the enemy camp and there was even a war going on in the distance, there was deathly silence all around Wei Changtian and the other two.
“.”
Looking at Wei Changtian who was frowning in thought, Yang Liushi opened her mouth as if wanting to say something but hesitated.
She didn't know the ins and outs of what had just happened, so naturally she didn't know what Wei Changtian was thinking.
Although Qin Zhengqiu noticed that Zhuang Zhiming and others had not tried their best, he did not know the latter's relationship with Chu Xianping, and was also full of doubts at this time.
Among the three, only Wei Changtian knew the most information, so now he was the only one who had a rough guess.
Chu Xianping wanted to remind himself not to underestimate the enemy, and this enemy must be Lu Hongji . The latter's biggest reliance is Kuilong, but although there are many masters among Kuilong, it is not certain that they can do anything to him and Qin Zhengqiu now. In this case, there is only one possibility -
The people Lu Hongji sent to reinforce this time all practiced the Tiaoyue Sword!
“That should be correct.”
After muttering something quietly, Wei Changtian quickly guessed the truth after some simple reasoning.
This is undoubtedly due to Chu Xianping's timely reminder, but it also leads to several problems.
The first is why Chu Xianping helped me again.
The second question was why Chu Xianping didn't tell him directly through Zhuang Zhiming, but had to use this obscure way? After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian had roughly thought of the answer to the second question.
It was obvious that Chu Xianping didn't want Zhuang Zhiming to know that he was helping him.
Wei Changtian had no idea what kind of calculations and strategies were involved, but he thought that the relationship between Chu Xianping and Zhuang Zhiming was not a "superior-subordinate" relationship, but a "mutually beneficial" cooperative relationship, so Chu Xianping would do this.
So, Chu Xianping really didn't rebel? He frowned, staring at a burning piece of wood not far away.
Just as the flames were gradually weakening and only a last wisp of flame remained, Wei Changtian suddenly said to Yang Liushi and Qin Zhengqiu in surprise: "Sound the gong, retreat first."
“Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!”
Advance with drums and retreat with gongs.
When the harsh and rhythmic sound of gongs suddenly sounded from a distance, the Tengu army quickly left the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.
The original plan was to fight for half an hour, but it ended up lasting less than two quarters of an hour.
The Tengu soldiers, who did not notice anything wrong with the battle situation, were actually a little confused as to why they were retreating.
Even Yang Liushi didn't understand.
But she still carried out Wei Changtian's order without asking any questions.
At the same time, Zhuang Zhiming, who was in an ordinary military tent in the Qianhui military camp, immediately learned about the situation outside.
"Captain, the Tengu Army has withdrawn."
"The retreat was very sudden. I think it was Wei Changtian's order."
"Mr. Chu is right. Wei Changtian is suspicious by nature. We succeeded in our sneak attack just now, and now it seems that he is afraid."
"But I still don't understand why Master Chu wants us to hold back."
In the military tent, a man was talking to Zhuang Zhiming, with a look of confusion on his face.
It was not difficult to hear from his words that the sneak attack just now was indeed arranged by Chu Xianping.
However, he didn't quite understand why Chu Xianping asked them to hold back.
On the other side, Zhuang Zhiming pondered for a moment, then smiled and analyzed: "Old Liu, you only saw one thing, but not the other."
"Wei Changtian is indeed suspicious, so Master Chu asked us to launch a sneak attack on him, so that he would be suspicious and not dare to act recklessly."
"But you have to know that Wei Changtian is also extremely cruel and ruthless, and he will never let go of any grudge."
"Let me ask you, even if we used all our strength, could we have killed him just now?"
"this."
The man surnamed Liu was stunned, and soon replied helplessly: "Of course not."
"That's it."
Zhuang Zhiming smiled slightly and then analyzed confidently: "Since we can't kill him, the most we can do is injure him."
"And if that happens, he might get angry and turn the Qianhui army upside down without considering the consequences."
"If we try to stop them, our lives will be in danger. If we don't stop them, the army will be in danger of collapse, which will put us in a dilemma."
"So, the balance must be just right."
"If it's too light, Wei Changtian won't be afraid of it."
"If it's too heavy, it will be counterproductive."
"Alas, Master Chu is probably the only one in the world who can do this without taking it too seriously."
Looking up and sighing, it can be seen that Zhuang Zhiming really admires Chu Xianping.
After listening to his analysis, the man opposite nodded in sudden enlightenment.
"I see."
"It seems that Mr. Chu's scheming is indeed unmatched."
“.”
You said one thing and I said another. Although all of the above were guesses by Zhuang Zhiming, everyone in the tent felt that this was Chu Xianping's true thought.
After all, this analysis can be said to be very reasonable and completely plausible.
However, compared to such complicated and subjective speculations, they all overlooked the simplest possibility.
Perhaps Chu Xianping asked them to hold back simply because he didn't want Wei Changtian to get really hurt?
“Hahahaha! Great!”
"Brother Xianping! Thank you!"
Xinfeng, Anding County.
The official road was winding and bumpy in the night, and at this moment there was only one carriage speeding on it.
The laughter spread far away through the car window, and seemed to carry a hint of joy.
"Although the army lost more than 10,000 men in this battle, the Tengu Army's retreat was very sudden. I think it was your arrangement that made Wei Changtian suspicious!"
"Brother Xianping, this time it's all thanks to you!"
"I won't say more. I will definitely reward you handsomely after this battle."
“.”
The voice is loud and the expression is happy.
It was obvious that Lu Hongji had just received timely information about the battle situation in Fengyuan, so he reacted like this at this time.
Chu Xianping, who was sitting opposite him, also had a smile on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood as well.
"Master Lu, you don't have to be polite. Just remember our deal."
"Hahaha, don't worry! I will remember it of course!"
"Well, that's good."
Chu Xianping nodded, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"Captain Lu, although the Tengu Army has temporarily retreated tonight, Wei Changtian will surely make a comeback in the next few days."
"If we continue to respond with this bluffing method, I'm afraid he will see through us sooner or later."
"Only if your people arrive as soon as possible can the situation be truly reversed."
"You should understand this, right?"
"clear!"
Lu Hongji smiled and replied, "Brother Xianping, it's almost time. They will be here the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
"The day after tomorrow?"
Chu Xianping nodded with a normal expression.
"That's good."
