Chapter 765 I should cooperate with you in the performance, but I will turn a blind eye
A quarter of an hour later.
The camp of the Tengu army was located thirty miles west of the Qianhui army’s camp.
In just half an hour, the first invasion war of the Tengu Army after arriving in Fengyuan ended in a whimper.
Although it is roughly estimated that at least 10,000 enemies were killed in this battle, to be honest it did not achieve the intended purpose.
There is no doubt that this is closely related to Wei Changtian's sudden order to withdraw troops.
"My husband, there was nothing unusual in the battle situation just now, why should we retreat?"
In the tent that had just been set up, Yang Liushi finally asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
Since there were only two of them in the tent at the moment, Wei Changtian did not hide anything and quickly told her the whole story.
After listening to this, Yang Liushi was inevitably stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he said thoughtfully:
"So, Chu Xianping has been helping us secretly all along?"
"Well, it looks like that."
Wei Changtian nodded seriously: "At first, he left the Chixiao Sword when he left, and then reminded you to pay attention to Du Chang, and now he is warning me to beware of Lu Hongji's back-up plan."
"From the results, it seems that he is indeed helping us, but we don't know what his real purpose is."
"Maybe he never rebelled from the beginning?"
Yang Liushi frowned and asked, "I felt that there was something strange about this before, and if Chu Xianping really staged a fake rebellion, then everything can be explained."
"Fake treason. Well, I have thought about it."
With a light sigh, Wei Changtian shook his head and said, "But don't forget the other things he did."
"At first, I asked Yan Huaiqing to test him, and he lied."
"After that, all five hundred Xuanjingsi officers from Qingzhou died at his hands. Not a single one survived."
"Now, Zhuang Zhiming and his companions are here because of his orders."
"And the message."
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Do you think he would have left me such a message if he was a fake traitor?"
"this"
Yang Liushi lowered her head and didn't speak immediately. It was obvious that she was very conflicted.
On the one hand, Chu Xianping did help them a lot after his "rebellion". At least if it weren't for the former, the Tengu Army might have been destroyed by Du Chang in Luoxing Valley.
But on the other hand, what Wei Changtian said was not wrong.
If it was just a false rebellion, why did Chu Xianping kill so many people from the Xuanjing Division? And why did he ask Zhuang Zhiming to help Lu Hongji stabilize the morale of the army? Yes, he did ask Zhuang Zhiming to hold back.
But from another perspective, the sneak attack just now did "scare" the Tengu Army away . "Maybe he just didn't want to be noticed by Lu Hongji?"
After thinking for a while, Yang Liushi whispered her thoughts: "Chu Xianping's realm is low. If he pretends to rebel, once the slightest sign is revealed, all the previous efforts may be wasted."
"Miss Li once said that if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself."
"Perhaps Chu Xianping can only do this to protect himself?"
“.”
Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her voice was not loud, blending in with the noise outside the tent.
The meaning of Yang Liushi's words was very simple. She felt that Chu Xianping wanted to make the play more realistic, so he "took advantage of the situation" and lied to Wei Changtian even though he knew that Yan Huaiqing was deliberately testing him.
Including the subsequent killing of the five hundred Xuan Jing Si officers, it was just for the world to see.
The reason why he did this was undoubtedly to make everyone think that he really rebelled, and then make Lu Hongji completely believe him . Obviously, after experiencing what happened in the past few days, Yang Liushi has gradually begun to tend to believe that Chu Xianping did not really betray.
However, Wei Changtian shook his head again, his thoughts were different from hers.
"Your statement still doesn't make sense."
"I can understand him lying to others, but does he have to lie to me?"
"Okay, even if he wants to get close to Lu Hongji smoothly, he doesn't hesitate to include me in his plan."
"But what about now? If he is pretending to betray me, he should tell me the truth at this critical moment, right?"
"Otherwise, if I did something to disrupt his plan, or if he did something to disrupt my plan, wouldn't it be more harm than good in the end?"
"So in my opinion, whether he helps me or helps Lu Hongji, it seems to be true, but in fact it is all fake."
"He did so much, but in the end, he was just helping himself."
“.”
He did not think that Chu Xianping was a false rebel, and believed that he did all this for a purpose that was not yet known.
This is what Wei Changtian wanted to express.
But "Sir, why did you order the Tengu Army to withdraw?"
Suddenly, Yang Liushi asked a question softly, which caused Wei Changtian's expression to change slightly.
There was a brief silence in the tent until Yang Liushi paused, looked at him and continued, "Since my husband has determined that Chu Xianping is not a fake rebel, why do you still help him put on this show?"
"Also, my husband just said that Chu Xianping has not told you the truth until now."
"But in my opinion, Chu Xianping has actually said it twice."
With a serious tone, Yang Liushi's voice echoed clearly in Wei Changtian's ears.
Wei Changtian naturally understood what she meant by "twice".
One time was when Wang Kang said, "The truth will come out in five days."
One time was when Zhuang Zhiming said, "Within five days, I will give you the result you want."
These two sentences can indeed be understood as Chu Xianping's "show of loyalty", and judging from Wei Changtian's action of ordering the Tengu Army to retreat, he does not seem to distrust the former as much as he says.
"Okay, you figured this out."
Wei Changtian pouted and looked at Yang Liushi helplessly: "Liushi, I found that after taking the Eclipse Pearl, not only did your Taoism increase greatly, but your mind also became much more meticulous, almost like Li Zimu."
"I am a fox demon, this is how it should be."
With her eyes curved into crescents, Yang Liushi made a joke without hiding anything, and then asked:
"Sir, what are we going to do next?"
"Next"
Turning his head to look at the bright lamp on the table, Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead in distress.
Obviously, the answer to this question is directly related to his current level of trust in Chu Xianping.
Although he had just "cooperated" with Chu Xianping once, it cannot be said that he believed in the latter again.
At least not complete trust.
"Let's keep it as it is."
After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian slowly stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Starting tomorrow morning, the Tengu Army will continue to harass the enemy camp."
"Just change it to small-scale harassment, once every three hours. If Zhuang Zhiming and others show up, we will retreat."
"Uncle Liang and Han Zhao will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the decisive battle will proceed as planned."
"No matter if Chu Xianping is really rebelling or not, we can't give up this opportunity just because of his words."
"that's all."
“.”
When he finished the last sentence, Wei Changtian had already walked to the curtain.
He reached out and opened the tent curtain. A team of patrolling soldiers happened to be walking outside the tent. In the distance, countless monsters raised their heads and stamped their feet.
Chaotic sounds filled my ears, and above my head there was a moon, like a bent bow.
