Chapter 909: Sadness is Better than Death
An hour later, after dinner, Wei Changtian took Yang Liushi and Gu Paner out.
The three of them rode out of the city and headed straight for the Tengu army's camp in the cover of night.
Until this moment, Yang Liushi and Gu Paner still didn't know what they were going to do, but the former had already guessed a little, so she asked Wei Changtian softly:
"Husband, are you planning to send sister Pan'er back first?"
"yes."
Wei Changtian looked at Gu Pan'er, whose expression suddenly became extremely surprised, and said with a smile: "The day after tomorrow we will follow the army to the capital of Daqian. After all, this trip is not for sightseeing. It will be inconvenient for Pan'er to follow us, so it is better for her to go back early."
"Yes, that's right."
Yang Liushi had no doubts about this, so she nodded and said nothing more.
However, when Gu Paner heard that Wei Changtian was about to send her away, she hurriedly expressed her opinion:
"Sir, I'm fine!"
“It’s not a question of whether it matters or not.”
Wei Changtian shook his head unmoved: "Pan'er, you have never practiced cultivation, and this time you are going to fight with the staff, there must be a lot of people watching you openly and secretly."
"And I may not be able to protect you all the time, so you should understand what I mean."
“.”
The words were not finished, but the meaning was clear.
Wei Changtian felt that bringing Gu Paner with him would be a burden and could easily be threatened, so he planned to send her away early.
Gu Paner certainly understood the interests involved, so after being stunned for a moment, she couldn't say anything and just bit her lip lightly.
She definitely doesn't want to leave Wei Changtian.
But since I don’t know how to do anything, staying here will only be a burden to Master Wei. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Master.”
"That's right."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I will send someone to send you to Xinfeng first, and then you can stay there for the time being. When things here are over, we will return to Dashu together."
"By the way, do you have any relatives in Linchuan?"
"If there are any, tell me now and I can have someone pick them up together."
"No, my parents passed away a few years ago."
Gu Paner said in a low voice: "My brothers have all started their own families and no longer care about my affairs."
"That's fine."
Wei Changtian sighed softly: "Alas, I know you don't want to leave, but fighting is no joke, there is nothing I can do about it."
"And it probably won't take too long, maybe half a month at the shortest, or more than a month at the longest, Daqian should be done with it."
"I asked Zhang San to leave you a piece of mother-and-child jade. If you have any problems, just send a guard to tell me."
"Yes, I understand."
Gu Paner was not such a ignorant little woman. Even though she was reluctant in her heart, she knew that she should not cause trouble for Wei Changtian, so she nodded obediently.
"I am fine with anything, as long as you and your wife are safe and sound, I will be satisfied."
“.”
Just like that, about a quarter of an hour later, Gu Paner headed straight to Xinfeng under the escort of a team of Tengu troops.
Perhaps it was because there was no "substantial" relationship between her and Wei Changtian, let alone any official status, so she didn't say any "intimate" words until she left.
She just said goodbye quietly, gave Wei Changtian one last deep look, and then got into the carriage.
Wei Changtian stood there and watched the carriage disappear into the night, then he turned to Yang Liushi and said:
"Let's go, let's go back."
"Well, my dear, how come you don't look uncomfortable at all?"
Yang Liushi followed the carriage that Wei Changtian got in, and joked with a smile: "Before, when we said goodbye to Sister Qingwan and Sister Qin'er, you gave them instructions for a long time."
"What's there to say?"
Wei Changtian pouted and told the truth: "Besides, Gu Pan'er is no match for Wan'er and the others. I've only known her for five days, so I can't say we have a deep friendship."
"Huh?"
Her eyes widened slightly, and it was obvious that Yang Liushi was very surprised by Wei Changtian's "frankness".
In fact, she had long felt that Wei Changtian didn't care much about Gu Paner, but he expressed his attitude in person when they bought the house this morning, so she never asked in detail.
And now Yang Liushi can take this opportunity to get to the bottom of it.
"Then why did my husband say that this morning?"
Looking at Wei Changtian, she asked in confusion: "Since my husband has no interest in Miss Gu, why did he say such misleading words?"
"I just said that she could open a music business in Shuzhou. You guys just made up your mind."
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and first tried to distance himself from the matter irresponsibly, then went on to explain, "She showed up last night. Guan Kong and Lin Zhi will definitely cause trouble for her in the future."
"Also, I can't hide the fact that I redeemed her. It will probably be known to everyone sooner or later."
"So if she still stays in Linchuan, or even Daqian, she will definitely die one day."
"Since she is willing to sacrifice herself to save me, I will do my best to save her life, that's all."
".The husband didn't explain it clearly this morning."
Yang Liushi understood the reason and said angrily, "You made Miss Gu so happy for nothing."
"Explain clearly?"
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Will she be willing to leave if I explain it clearly?"
"That's true. But if this happens, Miss Gu will definitely be sad when she finds out the truth."
Yang Liushi sighed, "I was born in a brothel as well, so I know how difficult it is for a brothel girl to find a lover who doesn't despise her."
"Just be sad if you are sad."
Wei Changtian didn't feel any guilt, he just sighed casually.
"Better to be sad than dead."
“.”
Glancing at Wei Changtian helplessly, Yang Liushi said nothing more.
Now she understood that Wei Changtian just wanted to repay Gu Paner a favor. There might be some sympathy and pity in it, but there was probably almost no love between men and women.
Although this meant she had one less "rival" vying for her favor, Yang Liushi did not feel happy about it. She even felt a little sad for Gu Paner in her heart.
But Gu Paner's matter was just a trivial matter after all, and the person was gone now, so she soon stopped thinking about it and quietly changed the subject.
"My husband, you haven't told me why you became enemies with Guan Kong."
“This matter.”
Wei Changtian turned his head to look at the night outside the window and said with a wry smile: "I want to know too."
"But he can't just cause trouble for us for no reason."
Yang Liushi frowned and analyzed: "And if you think about it carefully, he must have planned it for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to steal the golden hairpin from the house in Shuzhou City."
"My husband, could this Guan Kong be the elder of someone you offended before?"
"Probably not."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian actually had a guess about Guan Kong's purpose, but he did not tell Yang Liushi.
After all, it’s better not to let too many people know about things like the Son of Heaven and the plundering of luck.
"Okay, forget about it. Oh, I suddenly remembered something."
"What's up?"
"It's the demon king from Changliu Mountain."
"Well, what do you want to ask, sir?"
"I want to ask, is she pretty?"
“.”
Yang Liushi: “???”
