Chapter 595 "Mind Reading"
You are coming from Shuzhou City, preparing to go to the capital to discuss the fight against the enemy with the emperor.
The carriage was speeding and the morning sun was golden.
The moment they heard these words, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi's pupils shrank slightly.
They looked at each other, and then Yang Liushi asked softly:
"Miss Li, why do you guess like this?"
"Um"
Li Zimu thought for a moment and answered in a very logical manner: "Madam, Master."
"Zhongling City has been plagued by bandits for a long time. Since you have a strength far superior to that of the bandits, but you didn't kill them before, it means you don't know much about the situation in Zhongling before."
"Plus, you are not familiar with the layout of the city, so I guessed that you must have arrived in Zhongling City yesterday."
"But the bandit problem in Zhongling County is well known in the entire Tanzhou. Ordinary people would never choose to stay overnight in Zhongling City."
"So you must be from further away."
“.”
Having said that, Li Zimu paused, lowered his head and took a sip of water.
Her explanations were reasonable, but she had not yet gotten to the point.
"Then how did you guess that we were from Shuzhou City?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes: "Also, why do you think we are going to the capital?"
“Because of this.”
Putting down the teacup, Li Zimu gently pointed to the corner of his clothes.
She was still wearing Wei Changtian's outer robe, so the target of her finger was obvious.
It was the word "Wei" that scared the woman in the black shop half to death.
"Sir, apart from some swindlers, there is only one family in Daning that dares to embroider this word on clothes."
"The young master is very skilled and handsome, so the order must be true."
"So I guessed the young master's identity, and naturally I also knew where he came from."
"As for how I guessed that the young master was going to the capital."
"The fact that the four countries are about to invade is known to everyone in the world. Although you founded your country in Dashu, you must understand the principle of "the lips are cold and the teeth are broken". You will definitely not want to see Daning fall."
"And since you want to help Daning, then you must go to the capital to discuss it with the emperor."
"What's more, Zhongling is on the only way from Shuzhou City to the capital."
“.”
Clear logic and organized thinking.
Although the whole reasoning process is not complicated and does not involve any secrets.
Many people knew all of this, including the fact that four countries were about to invade, that the real "emperor" of Da Shu was Wei Changtian, and that Ning Wenjun was supported by the Wei family to ascend the throne.
But being able to use this public information, combined with the word "Wei", to guess so much is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Not simple He exclaimed in his heart, but although he was surprised, Wei Changtian could actually accept it.
It's safe to say that a little girl of twelve or thirteen can achieve this level of talent.
But if I compare myself with Chu Xianping. "Yes, I am indeed Wei Changtian, and I am indeed planning to go to Beijing to meet Ning Wenjun this time."
Without changing his expression, Wei Changtian first confirmed Li Zimu's reasoning, and then slowly asked: "But how did you bet that I would go through the south gate?"
"When you asked me last night, I answered the East Gate."
"Are you so sure that I will break my promise?"
"this."
Li Zimu lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Sir, this matter is actually not difficult to figure out."
"Last night I asked myself if I could follow you. If you were willing then you would have agreed directly."
"But you didn't do that, which means you think I'm useless and don't want to cause this trouble."
"It's just that he felt sorry for me and couldn't bear it, so he didn't reject me directly, but gave me a question instead."
"In this case, if I answer wrongly, it means that you and I are not destined to be together. Even if I die because of this, it is not your fault."
"Since the purpose of asking this question is just to clear your guilt, then you definitely don't want me to answer it correctly."
"So the young master will naturally not go through the east gate."
“.”
If the previous explanation was reasoning, then this explanation sounds more like "psychological analysis."
If you were willing, you would have agreed a long time ago, instead of setting up such a place. So deep down you must not want to bring me along as a burden.
But you think that a direct rejection might cause me to commit suicide, so you try to shift the blame to "fate."
As long as I guess the city gate incorrectly, it means we are not destined to be together. You won't feel guilty even if I die because of it.
Therefore, you definitely don't want me to win the bet, and you won't keep your promise to go through the east gate. Although it's incredible, what Li Zimu just said is indeed what Wei Changtian really thought at the time.
Even the thoughts in his "subconscious" that he himself was not aware of.
He really didn't want to cause any more trouble at that time, but he was afraid that Li Zimu would commit suicide, so he said "you"
The originally warm carriage seemed to suddenly turn into an ice cave, and Wei Changtian only felt an inexplicable chill.
Who is this Li Zimu? She is from an ordinary family, so why does she have such a "mind-reading" ability? And if she is so awesome, why was she kidnapped by bandits? Countless questions flashed through his mind, but were quickly suppressed by Wei Changtian.
He knew now was not the time to ask these questions.
Because he had not yet heard the answer to the most crucial and "incredible" question.
"Okay, what you just said makes sense."
Lifting his eyelids and staring into Li Zimu's bright eyes, Wei Changtian asked word by word: "But even so, even if you guessed that I would break my promise..."
"But why are you so sure that I will go through the south gate?"
"Just now you said that I would never go through the west gate or the north gate. What did you mean?"
“.”
This time, Li Zimu paused longer than any other time before.
She looked at Yang Liushi, who had a complicated expression on her face, then looked at the teacup that was shaking slightly on the table, as if she wanted to take another sip of water.
But in the end she still didn't pick up the teacup, but instead cast her eyes on Wei Changtian and said softly: "Sir, Shuzhou City is in the south, so you must have entered the city from the south gate yesterday."
"The capital is in the north, so normally you would have left the city from the north gate this morning."
"So among the North Gate, South Gate, and West Gate, under normal circumstances, the probability of you leaving the city from the North Gate is the highest, and the probability of you leaving the city from the South Gate is the lowest."
"But since you didn't want me to guess correctly, you chose the most unreasonable South Gate."
"Stop."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian interrupted Li Zimu.
He could understand what the other party meant, but he totally disagreed with this explanation.
Indeed, leaving the city from the south gate is indeed the most unreasonable choice.
But you have to know that I didn't think so much when I chose the South Gate. I just said it casually.
So Li Zimu’s statement could not convince him at all.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't think it was that complicated when I chose the South Gate."
"At that time, I thought you would definitely wait at the east gate, so I picked a city gate at random, but I didn't expect you to run into me."
“But this is a coincidence.”
"Sir, this is not a mistake."
Under the surprised gazes of Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi, Li Zimu actually interrupted Wei Changtian once in return.
She just shook her head seriously, then pointed her finger at Wei Changtian's chest.
"Perhaps you feel that you really haven't thought about it so much."
"But sir, sometimes it's hard to detect what's in people's minds."
"And all the seemingly random choices are actually determined by these hidden thoughts."
"Sir, do you believe that if you could do it again once, ten times, or a hundred times, you would still choose the South Gate?"
"It's not fate, it's the mind."
