Chapter 717 I'm Sorry
Will you marry me?
It is difficult to say what kind of mentality Li Zimu was in when he said this.
Maybe she felt that once Chu Xianping rebelled, there would be one less useful person around Wei Changtian, so she wanted to "sacrifice herself" to keep Tang Chen.
Maybe because she had completely given up on Chu Xianping, she felt that Tang Chen was not bad. After all, the latter was still sincere to her so far.
That's what she asked, anyway.
As for what Tang Chen would say, the answer to this question may not be difficult to guess.
"I, of course I do."
His breathing became rapid in an instant, and Tang Chen didn't hesitate at all, and almost blurted out what was in his mind the next moment.
But after a pause, he asked tentatively with some lack of confidence:
"Miss Li, are you really willing to marry me?"
“.”
"Um."
Nodding, a hint of tenderness appeared in Li Zimu's eyes.
She slowly stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hold Tang Chen's hand.
But for some unknown reason, the hand suddenly paused halfway through its reach, and instead gently removed a weed from Tang Chen's robe.
Although it changed from "physical contact" to "tidying up clothes", this action still made Tang Chen feel excited for a moment.
Then, he heard Li Zimu whisper:
"Mr. Tang."
"We will get married when Chu Xianping dies."
“.”
In an instant, the night wind seemed to suddenly turn cold, and it also cooled down the people in the night.
Tang Chen slowly lowered his head, his expression changed from excitement to surprise, and then from surprise to bitterness.
If it was only the second half of the sentence, he would definitely not react like this now.
But why add such a condition to "marriage"? Marriage is just a matter between two people.
If Li Zimu really wanted to marry him, why did he wait until Chu Xianping died? Tang Chen was not stupid, he knew why Li Zimu wanted to marry him.
After all, if you want to kill Chu Xianping, you have to catch him first.
If you want to catch someone, you have to find him first.
As for how to find Chu Xianping, it is obvious that Wei Changtian must use his ability of "mind reading".
Therefore, Li Zimu was using himself for Wei Changtian.
"well"
With a soft sigh, Tang Chen raised his head and looked at Li Zimu with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
Before this, he had always firmly believed that Li Zimu's feelings for him were pure.
But now, when Li Zimu proposed this "deal" without any reservation, Tang Chen's mood can be imagined.
"Miss Li, there is no need to do this."
With a bitter smile, Tang Chen slowly said: "Young Master Wei saved your life, and now Chu Xianping has rebelled again. I understand that you are anxious now and want to lend a helping hand to Young Master Wei."
"But I don't want you to marry me for this reason."
"Don't worry, if Master Wei needs me in the future, I will do my best to help you."
"As for what you just said."
"Forget it."
“.”
Shaking his head, Tang Chen stopped looking at Li Zimu after saying the last sentence. He turned around and walked into the night.
Li Zimu wanted to get married, but he refused.
This statement not only represents that even when facing the woman he loves, Tang Chen still has his own bottom line.
And the words "Forget it" made Li Zimu stunned for a moment.
She stared at Tang Chen's back in a daze, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to catch up with him.
But after more than ten breaths, she did not take a step.
"One, two, three, four"
"Four, four"
“.”
The number "five" in my heart never rang out, and my eyes became moist without me noticing.
Li Zimu bit her lips tightly, and suddenly at a certain moment she lifted up her skirt and chased after the figure that had already walked away.
She ran very fast, and her hazy shadow was very long under the moonlight.
Then, the figures overlapped, and she suddenly threw herself into the arms of the man who had already stopped and looked back, tightly clutching his clothes, and burst into tears as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
“S-Sorry.”
"Wow, I'm sorry."
"sorry"
"Squeak~"
At midnight, Wei Changtian, who had stood on the city wall for a full hour, finally returned to the inn where he and Yang Liushi were staying.
The moment the door was opened, Yang Liushi, who had been waiting anxiously in the room, came up immediately and asked in a worried and nervous voice:
"Sir, have you caught him?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head, took off his outer robe and threw it aside: "Escaped."
“.”
Yang Liushi's breathing stagnated, and her tone became more anxious: "What should we do? Is there any problem with the Freemasons?"
"Freemasonry is fine."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "And he also left the Scarlet Sky Sword behind."
"Ah? Could this be a mistake?"
Yang Liushi looked confused: "If he really wanted to rebel, why would he do this?"
"Mistaken? What could be wrong with what the Daqian envoy said?"
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "Besides, if he didn't rebel, who killed the five hundred people from the Xuanjing Division?"
"this"
Now Yang Liushi stopped talking, just sighed softly, then walked behind Wei Changtian and gently rubbed his shoulders.
After rubbing for a while, she suddenly whispered: "Sir, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"What? Just say it." Wei Changtian closed his eyes.
"Um"
Yang Liushi hesitated for a moment and said, "I always feel that Chu Xianping may not have rebelled."
"Why do you say that?"
"I don't know the reason, I just feel this way."
"Feel?"
Wei Changtian opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Why, are you planning to become a fortune teller?"
"Hey, sir, let's talk business."
Yang Liushi gently hit Wei Changtian on the shoulder and asked with some insistence:
"Don't you feel that way?"
"I"
Wei Changtian stretched out the word "I" very long, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
To be honest, he did feel that way.
One reason was that he really could not find any reason for Chu Xianping to rebel.
The second reason is that there are many weird things about the whole thing.
However, putting aside these doubts, all the clear evidence now points to the fact that "Chu Xianping had already rebelled."
So. "I don't believe in feelings. I only believe in what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian said slowly: "It's that simple."
"But."
“Boom boom boom!”
On the other side, Yang Liushi was just about to say something when there was a hurried knock on the door.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Liushi walked over and opened the door, and then saw Zhang San, who was sweating profusely outside the door.
"lady!"
Zhang San hurriedly bowed to Yang Liushi and said, "I have something important to report to you, sir!"
"Well, come in and talk."
Yang Liushi stepped aside, and Zhang San did not hesitate to walk quickly to Wei Changtian's side. He took out a letter from his arms and said quickly, "Sir, a quarter of an hour ago, there was a message from the Qingzhou branch of Xuanjingsi saying that a caravan encountered a group of people thirty miles west of Qingzhou City."
"The leader of this group is a young man in gray, and the rest are all in black."
"The young man in gray asked the caravan to bring a message to Xuan Jing Division, asking Xuan Jing Division to bring it to you."
"Then the caravan leader asked the young man in gray his name."
"The latter said his last name was Chu."
“.”
His eyes widened suddenly, and Wei Changtian immediately tore open the envelope and looked at the contents on the letter.
But just a moment later, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he threw the letter to Yang Liushi.
"Let's take a look."
"I'm afraid you can't be a fortune teller."
“.”
Reaching out to take the letter, Yang Liushi looked down with confusion, and then her expression became exactly the same as Wei Changtian's.
Because the letter was written in black and white, the last words Chu Xianping left for Wei Changtian could not be written more clearly.
[Sir, everyone has their own aspirations. I’m sorry.]
