Chapter 768: Ready to Go
"Brother Xianping, goodbye."
Two hundred miles east of Fengyuan City.
Just when 300,000 Ningshu reinforcements arrived in Fengyuan and the decisive battle was about to begin, Lu Hongji and Chu Xianping had already arrived near the battlefield.
However, it is not difficult to judge from the conversation between the two that they are about to "part ways" at this moment.
This matter was raised by Lu Hongji.
Then it is obvious that he must have his own plans for this battle and does not want Chu Xianping to be involved in it.
Chu Xianping had no opinion on this, as if he didn't care at all what Lu Hongji was going to do.
"Captain Lu, if that's the case, then I wish you victory in this battle."
"But if you unfortunately fail, please don't forget the deal between you and me."
"Hahaha! Don't worry, brother Xianping! I will never break my promise!"
Laughing loudly, Lu Hongji said cheerfully: "If I really lose this battle, I will go to the entrance of Kuilong Hall and wait for you. When we meet again, I will present the elder token to you with both hands!"
"Okay, it's a deal."
"It's a deal!"
“.”
Two voices rang out and then faded away, and the low mountain forest soon returned to peace.
Taking the reins, Lu Hongji jumped on the horse and no longer rode in the carriage. Instead, he rode on horseback with the only two remaining guards and headed straight for the Fengyuan battlefield 200 miles away.
Chu Xianping stood alone, silently watching the dust in the distance rise from near to far and then disappear.
There was always a faint smile on his face, as if he had anticipated all this.
At the beginning of the Xu hour, there are still two hours before the decisive battle.
Fengyuan, the new Fengyuan imperial palace.
After meeting Liang Zhen and Han Zhao, Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui returned to the palace.
After all, they had nothing to do in the army, so they actually came back to have dinner.
Of course, Xu Suisui had no appetite.
However, Wei Changtian ate very happily and even had the mood to joke with Li Zimu and Tang Chen during the meal.
After dinner, half of the agreed two hours had passed and the sky outside had become completely dark.
After coming out of the dining hall, he went to an elegant room to continue drinking tea.
During the whole process, Wei Changtian remained very calm and did not look anxious at all.
Xu Suisui was able to hold back from asking at first, but as time went by, she finally couldn't help but remind him at one point: "Well, it's almost midnight, why aren't you leaving?"
“No hurry.”
After taking a sip of tea, Wei Changtian leaned back in his chair and said comfortably, "It will be a good time for me to leave after Han Zhao dispatches his troops."
"oh"
Xu Suisui responded softly, looking worried.
She always felt that Wei Changtian should prepare earlier, but she didn't dare to order him, so she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
It's like when you and your girlfriend are going out to do something, and it's almost time, but she's still taking her time putting on makeup, and you want to urge her but don't dare to.
“.”
Sometimes he looked at the copper clock in the corner, sometimes he looked at Wei Changtian who was resting with his eyes closed. Xu Suisui's face was full of anxiety and helplessness, but he never spoke.
The quiet room fell into a strange silence until, after an unknown amount of time, Wei Changtian suddenly closed his eyes and said:
"By the way, all the top three masters will go to the front line soon, and you don't have any system points now, so it's best not to run around."
"Or you can just take Li Zimu and find a place to hide."
"Take Tang Chen and Shen Ran with you. They won't be of much use to you at the front line anyway. If something happens here, they can help you."
"Also, if something more serious happens and I can't get back in time."
"I suggest you not to be soft-hearted and immediately choose one of Shen Ran and Tang Chen to kill."
"This at least changes the plot."
"You know what I mean?"
“.”
The tone was calm, and the voice was neither loud nor soft.
Wei Changtian didn't open his eyes while speaking, but Xu Suisui's eyes were getting wider and wider.
She is not a warrior, so she will definitely not go to the front line to cause trouble.
That's why Wei Changtian asked her to find a place to hide, so as to avoid being captured by the enemy when the defenses in the palace were unattended.
At this point, Xu Suisui could understand.
But the last few words. "No, I hope it's okay"
Feeling a chill down her spine, she muttered to herself to comfort herself: "The palace is so big, Miss Li and I will find a place where no one knows where to hide. Who can find us?"
"Really?"
Wei Changtian still closed his eyes: "Then where are you going to hide?"
"Well there is a secret room under my bedroom, I will hide there."
"good."
At this time, Wei Changtian finally opened his eyes.
He looked directly at Xu Suisui and spoke coldly, "Now, don't I know where you are hiding?"
“.”
His body trembled violently, and Xu Suisui was frightened by Wei Changtian's tone, but he also understood what the latter meant.
"I, I understand."
Biting her lip, she whispered, "I'll listen to you."
"Well, it never hurts to be careful."
On the other side, Wei Changtian saw that she understood, and his tone returned to normal.
He shook out a piece of mother-and-child jade from his sleeve and threw it into Xu Suisui's arms.
"Take this. If anything happens, just burn the jade and I will find a way to save you."
"But if I'm too late, I've already told you the solution."
"I know you might not be able to do it, and I can't force you to kill anyone."
"But if you don't kill them both, you'll be the one to die."
"Just think it over for yourself."
“.”
He glanced at the copper water clock, grabbed the Star Blade scabbard on the table, and slowly stood up.
Wei Changtian stretched lazily and took another look at Xu Suisui, whose face was pale.
"Alright, these are just hypotheses. It's highly unlikely that we'll ever get to that point. There's no need to act so fearless."
"It's about time. I'm leaving."
"Squeak~"
The door opened, and Wei Changtian pushed it open and walked out without any hesitation after he finished speaking.
It was only then that Xu Suisui suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly ran to the door and shouted: "Attention, be careful!!"
“.”
be safe.
Such a reminder is undoubtedly full of the flavor of the previous life, and it also means that Xu Suisui is really concerned about Wei Changtian's safety.
However, the latter did not respond to her words, but just waved his hand casually, then slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor in the moonlight.
Standing there in a daze for a long time, Xu Suisui retracted her gaze and carefully put the mother-and-child jade that Wei Changtian threw to her into her arms.
At the same time, Wei Changtian on the other side happened to stop in front of Qin Zhengqiu and the six Buddhist monks.
Except for Han Zhao and Yang Liushi who are now outside the city, all the second-rank masters from Xinfeng are here.
There were eight second-grade masters. Even though there was not a trace of internal force fluctuations around them, the air in this small area still seemed to be solidified, heavy and oppressive to the point of suffocation.
The crescent moon was in the sky, and no one spoke. They just looked at Wei Changtian silently.
Under the gaze of the seven people, the latter's expression gradually changed from relaxed to serious.
"Grandpa, all the eminent monks"
After glancing around, Wei Changtian took a deep breath and nodded calmly.
"Let's go."
