Chapter 992: It will be the same this time
On the second day of the second month, Fangcun Mountain, the secret of ascending to heaven.
The spies who withdrew sealed the sect’s mountain gate.
A warning not to leave Da Shu within half a year. Standing in the darkness, Wei Changtian's expression unexpectedly did not change, as if he had already expected all this.
He turned around to look at the people who were still watching the fireworks and asked softly:
"Who else knows about this?"
"My Lord, Miss Li contacted me directly, and it didn't go through anyone else."
Zhang San bowed his head and replied, "As for whether Miss Li told this to others, I don't know."
"Um."
Nodding, Wei Changtian calmly instructed: "Send a message to Zimu, tell her not to tell anyone else about this."
"Especially them."
“.”
them?
Zhang San was stunned, and followed Wei Changtian's gaze towards the crowd not far away, and immediately understood what the latter was going to do.
"Sir, are you going to Fangcun Mountain too?"
The voice stuttered for a moment, and Zhang San hurriedly reminded: "But if Miss Li's guess is correct, then Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu must have been prepared, and they may have already colluded with many forces in secret."
"Sir, if you really want to go, you should bring some experts with you!"
"Zhang San."
Turning back and patting Zhang San on the shoulder, Wei Changtian did not explain anything, but just said softly:
"Give me the mother-and-child jade that carries the message to Li Zimu."
"this"
Zhang San's eyes suddenly widened: "Sir, let me accompany you! At least I can still do it for you..."
"No need, you stay in the capital."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian interrupted without question: "Give me the mother and child jade."
“.”
Looking at Wei Changtian, Zhang San hesitated for a moment, but finally took out a piece of mother-and-child jade from his arms.
"Remember, you can't tell anyone about this."
Taking the mother-and-child jade, Wei Changtian solemnly warned: "No matter who asks you, just say that I'm out on business, understand?"
"I understand."
Zhang San nodded with difficulty, and then asked softly, "Sir, when do you plan to leave?"
"I'll leave tonight."
Wei Changtian did not hide anything. After saying the last sentence, he turned around and walked back to Liang Qin, leaving Zhang San standing there with a complicated expression, wondering what he was feeling.
"Brother Changtian, what's wrong?"
On the other side, Liang Qin of course noticed Wei Changtian's actions just now, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is there something wrong with Zhang San?"
"What can happen to him?"
Wei Changtian smiled, and there was nothing unusual in his tone: "I just wanted to come and wish me a happy new year."
"oh."
Liang Qin was not as sensitive as Yang Liushi. She did not doubt anything. She nodded and looked excitedly at the fireworks blooming above her head.
Colorful flames exploded and then went out, leaving long tails that filled the night sky. The flickering light illuminated everyone's smiling faces.
Wei Changtian stood in this colorful light with a determined look in his eyes.
At Chou time that night, outside the West City Gate.
The crackling sound of firecrackers is much less frequent than at midnight, but one or two strings can still be heard from afar from time to time, as if reminding everyone of the arrival of the New Year.
A black shadow flashed across the city wall, and after a few flashes it came under an old tree.
"Young Master."
Zhang San, who had been waiting here for a long time, came out from behind the tree with a tall horse beside him.
Handing the reins to Wei Changtian, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
"Okay, don't worry about me."
Wei Changtian smiled and jumped on his horse: "Let's go back."
“Yes, yes.”
Zhang San's voice was a little trembling and his eyes were a little red.
Although he really wanted to persuade Wei Changtian to bring more people to Fangcun Mountain, he couldn't say the words when they came to his lips.
Because Zhang San already understood why Wei Changtian didn't do this.
If Li Zimu's information was correct, then on the second day of February, an unprecedented fierce battle would surely take place at the foot of Fangcun Mountain.
This time, whether facing Chu Xianping or Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian had no confidence of winning.
Therefore, the latter wanted to preserve the Wei family's "power" as much as possible.
If only Wei Changtian died, the Wei family would still be there, Daning, Dashu would still be there, and hope would still be there.
But if Wei Changtian went with a group of people and then the whole army was wiped out, then everything would be over.
From just now until now, Zhang San finally figured this out.
And precisely because he understood this, he has become so fussy now, even on the verge of tears.
"I told you to go back, why don't you leave?"
After taking a look at Zhang San, Wei Changtian certainly understood what he was thinking.
However, Wei Changtian did not comfort the man who had followed him for three years. He just coldly spat out two words: "Go!"
“.”
Zhang San shuddered and said nothing more.
He slowly turned around and walked about seventy or eighty feet, looking back every few steps. His feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Within the distant city wall, the sound of firecrackers was still ringing and the crescent moon was still hanging high in the sky.
But when Zhang San took a few more steps and looked back again, the man and the horse had turned into a small black dot in the distance and then disappeared.
Zhang San returned to Wei Mansion half an hour later.
Standing outside the gate with big red lanterns hanging on it, there were red scraps from firecrackers all around my feet.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and gently pushed open the side door.
But when the scene before him came into view, Zhang San was suddenly stunned.
“.”
Wei Xianzhi, Qin Caizhen, Liang Qin, Xu Qingwan, and Yang Liushi, except for the three little girls Wei Qiaoling, all stood inside the door, looking at him with extremely complicated expressions.
"Zhang San, where is Brother Chang Tian?"
In silence, Liang Qin took a step forward and asked in a trembling voice: "You know, right?"
"Yes, yes, Madam."
Zhang San lowered his head, not daring to look Liang Qin in the eye: "I don't know."
The moonlight was bleak and pale, while the spring couplets pasted on both sides of the gate were bright red and festive.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Zhang San knew it, but Wei Changtian just didn't allow him to say it.
But no one continued to question Zhang San at this time. Everyone stood in silence under the moonlight, and only Liang Qin's hurried voice echoed in the air.
"Then when will he come back?"
"lady."
Zhang San lowered his head even lower: "I don't know about this matter either."
“.”
Liang Qin's body suddenly went limp for no reason, and she felt powerless all over, and she seemed to be about to fall to the ground the next moment.
"Qin'er!"
"Sister Qin'er!"
Qin Caizhen and Xu Qingwan, who were standing beside her, hurried forward to support her, and their eyes immediately turned red.
Although Zhang San did not say what Wei Changtian was going to do, everyone knew how dangerous it was.
After all, if it was just a small matter, why would Wei Changtian hide it from everyone and leave alone on New Year's Eve? At this moment, everyone standing here has the closest connection with Wei Changtian.
They were worried about Wei Changtian and wanted to help him share his burden.
But they also knew that as long as it was Wei Changtian's decision, they could not change it.
"Zhang San."
Supporting Liang Qin, Xu Qingwan's voice became a little choked.
She bit her lip and looked up at Zhang San, trembling, and asked in an almost pleading tone a question that sounded like nonsense, but was perhaps the question that everyone cared about the most and dared not to think about.
"My husband, he will come back, right?"
“.”
Breathing heavily, Zhang San didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Obviously, he really doesn't know the answer to this question.
But after a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head and lied very seriously: "Madam, the young master told me when he left."
"He said he will come back safely, so please rest assured, ladies."
“.”
"well"
"Then, then we will wait for him in the capital."
It was like a huge rock falling to the ground. Regardless of whether Zhang San's words were true or false, their effect was unquestionable.
After all, no matter to whom, Wei Changtian had never broken his promise.
So, it must be the same this time.
