Chapter 818: Broken Mirror Difficult to Mend
He came to Longshou Mountain with Gongsun Yan in a swaggering manner, attracting everyone's attention and causing Lu Yuanjin to send all his men here.
Then, taking advantage of the chaos here, he asked Yang Liushi to capture Lu Yuanjin. Wei Changtian's plan was not that complicated, so when it was confirmed that something had happened to Lu Yuanjin, Chu Xianping quickly figured out everything.
wrong.
Strictly speaking, there was one most important thing he hadn't figured out.
So how did Wei Changtian know where Lu Yuanjin was hiding?
You should know that in order to avoid Wei Changtian's pursuit, the latter did not even hide in Longshou Mountain, and very few people knew his hiding place.
Are there any spies?
With his brows furrowed, Chu Xianping looked extremely ugly.
He was unaware of the existence of "Thousand Miles of Smoke and Waves" and was puzzled at the moment.
But he also knew that now was not the time to think about these things, so after a moment he gently shook his head, stared at Wei Changtian and said slowly: "Young Master, let's talk."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian smiled and answered quickly: "Okay, where shall we talk?"
"It is right here."
Chu Xianping pointed to the city gate tower not far away and walked in first.
Wei Changtian immediately jumped onto the city wall, not caring at all about the densely packed imperial guards around him, and walked towards the city gate tower through the passage made clear by the crowd.
However, after taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something and suddenly looked around, his sight falling on Gongsun Yan who was being held tightly by two Kuilong men on the left and right not far away.
"Your Majesty."
Smiling and waving at Gongsun Yan, Wei Changtian said loudly: "Don't worry, if you die, I will let the entire Yongding City be buried with you!"
“.”
The sun was shining brightly and the summer breeze was warm, but everyone on the city wall broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
The entire Yongding city was buried with him.
If Wei Changtian's killing of the people who blocked the road just now could be considered "cruel", then this was undoubtedly "brutal".
No, it's not just brutal, it's inhumane.
More importantly, Wei Changtian actually said this with a smile. For a moment, countless eyes, either fearful or angry, were focused on Wei Changtian.
The latter continued to move forward without caring, and soon entered the city gate tower under the "attention of everyone".
"Squeak"
The tall door slowly closed, and Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping temporarily disappeared from everyone's sight.
No one knew what these two people would talk about.
In fact, many people are actually very confused at this time.
Because when Lü Yuanjin and Gongsun Yan were reduced to puppets, and the battle for the throne was completely controlled by two "outsiders", they no longer knew who they were fighting for. "Brother Liu, why are we doing this?"
Outside the city wall, a soldier of the imperial guards whispered to another older soldier beside him: "Chu Xianping is not from our Dahui people. In the end, it is all for his own benefit."
"In that case, why are we still fighting so hard?"
“.”
The older soldier was slightly stunned after hearing this, and his expression was also somewhat helpless.
It can be seen that even these ordinary soldiers have actually seen through the current situation.
Ever since Chu Xianping arrived, it would be more accurate to say that they were working for Chu Xianping rather than fighting for Lu Yuanjin.
Chu Xianping is not a Dahui person, so his ultimate goal must be his own benefit.
Thinking about it this way, it is really not worth it for them to work so hard.
But "Alas, there is nothing I can do."
With a light sigh, the older soldier slowly said: "Anyway, Chu Xianping won, and the big return is still there."
"And if Wei Changtian wins, then the whole group will be doomed."
His tone was difficult and his eyes were full of loneliness.
Older soldiers should have extremely strong beliefs in their country and family, so even if they know they are being "used", they are still "willing".
However, the young imperial guard was not so "aware". He pointed to the closed gate of the city gate tower and whispered:
"Brother Liu, I understand what you said."
"But you also have to understand that now the lives of you and me, the lives of the eldest prince and Gongsun Yan, the lives of the tens of millions of people in Yongding City and even Dahui are all decided by these two foreigners."
"Even if Chu Xianping wins in the end, will Da Hui really not die?"
"snort"
With a cold snort, the young imperial guard retracted his gaze and glanced at the majestic Longshou Mountain behind him. In the stunned eyes of the older soldier, he muttered:
"If you ask me, from the moment the eldest prince agreed to Chu Xianping, our great Hui was already dead."
“.”
"Sir, how are you doing lately?"
Inside the city gate tower, just as the young imperial guard casually spoke out the truth, the two "foreigners" he mentioned were already standing face to face in the empty hall.
Since this is a tower in the palace wall, there are no weapons, haystacks, etc. like in other towers. The whole hall is even quite magnificent.
In the middle of the nine white jade pillars, Chu Xianping was looking at Wei Changtian and asked softly, "And Zimu, is she okay?"
“.”
As soon as he came up, he asked about Li Zimu's recent situation. Wei Changtian glanced at Chu Xianping, who looked sincere, and asked with a sneer:
"Brother Chu, Song Li is still in Shuzhou City."
"Why don't you ask her how she's doing lately?"
"I"
With a trace of embarrassment on his face, Chu Xianping was stunned for a moment and then shook his head without answering Wei Changtian's question.
The latter did not "pursue victory", but just curled his lips and said impatiently: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's talk about the big return."
"Brother Chu, you should know why I want to destroy Dahui."
"Actually, I can guess why you came."
“But I don’t understand why you want to go against me.”
Looking at the silent Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian asked coldly:
"What? You don't want to explain?"
".Sir, I don't think I need to explain anything to you."
Shaking his head again, Chu Xianping looked Wei Changtian straight in the eye and replied in a deep voice: "It's just that the big return is very important to me, so I must fight for it."
“.”
I don't need to explain to you, I just want to argue.
Chu Xianping's words were very tough, but Wei Changtian understood the meaning.
Obviously, Chu Xianping knew that if he came to discuss it with him, he would give up the big reward.
After all, Wei Changtian never thought about controlling Dahui, he just wanted to destroy the Lu family.
But Chu Xianping did not do so.
Together with the two sentences just now, it undoubtedly proves that he is unwilling to eat this "beggar's food".
"interesting."
Looking at Chu Xianping's serious expression, Wei Changtian smiled meaningfully.
From a certain perspective, Chu Xianping can be considered a "strong-willed" man. Since he has parted ways with me, he is unwilling to use their former friendship to gain some benefits.
If it were an online novel from my previous life, I should now "let all grudges go and laugh it off" and stage a "brothers reconcile" scene with Chu Xianping.
But reality is not fiction.
A broken mirror cannot be mended; once something has changed, it can never be restored.
"Brother Chu, if that's the case, then I'll tell you clearly."
Squinting his eyes, Wei Changtian spoke word by word: "I'm really going to make it this time."
