Chapter 116: Good at Reading People's Hearts
Ye Lanzhou didn't expect Yan Su could see through her thoughts. She was about to say something, at least to comfort her to avoid the situation being too awkward.
But Yan Su didn't seem to intend to give her this chance. She said to herself, "Maybe when I attacked Xu Mufei, he discovered that I'm not afraid of death and that I'm braver than my age. He thought I could survive in the paddock with this energy."
Yan Su nodded, "He was right. I survived and became his deadpool."
Later, when Xie Chengyan took over the Shenji Battalion, Yan Su was sent there by Xu Yubai as an orphan. During those years, Yan Su had indeed served Xie Chengyan. The artillery developed by the Shenji Battalion today is far more powerful than that of the southern barbarians and northern barbarians, and Yan Su played an indispensable role in this.
Until Yan Su was promoted to the commander of the Shenjiying, Xu Yubai met her secretly again. He handed a blueprint to Yan Su and asked her to replace the latest version of the artillery blueprint of the Shenjiying.
When Yan Su said this, Ye Lanzhou suddenly realized that it was because Xu Yubai had changed the proportion of gunpowder in Xie Chengyan's hand at that time, which was different from the test fire, that Xie Chengyan underestimated the power of that batch of artillery fire.
She was halfway through her story when a light snow began to fall outside the window. At first, Ye Lanzhou didn't pay much attention to it, as the snow was so light that it was almost invisible. But then it seemed to get heavier, and the howling north wind made the snow fly. At this moment, it really felt like deep winter.
Ye Lanzhou used to live in Nanyang and had rarely experienced snowy days. At this moment, she felt that the window of the study seemed unable to withstand the wind and snow. The cold air came in through the cracks, making her shiver.
Yan Su, however, seemed completely unaffected. She continued, "The last time Xu Yubai came to me was after the Shenjiying had developed a new version of the gunpowder diagram. He asked me to steal it for him."
Yan Su raised her eyes and looked at Ye Lanzhou with cold eyes.
"You promised?"
Yan Su shook her head: "Not at first. I had a good life in the Shenji Camp. The superiors treated me well, and the subordinates trusted me. If it weren't for my status, I would have wanted to stay in the Shenji Camp."
But how could Xu Yubai possibly pass up such an opportunity? He'd been raising Deadpool at home for years. How could he be easily persuaded to rebel by Xie Chengyan?
"When Xu Yubai found out about this, I thought he'd be furious and want to kill me." Her eyes were dark, and the dim candlelight made it hard for Ye Lanzhou to see them clearly. "But he didn't. He said he regretted sending me to the enclosure. He liked me and thought sending me there would protect me, but he didn't expect it would just put me in the hands of the enemy."
"He said he was going to take me away, to a place where no one knew us. I wouldn't have to be an undercover agent anymore, and he wouldn't be the eldest son of the Xu family anymore. I was so carried away at the time, I followed him..."
Yan Su placed her hand on her lower abdomen, the meaning was self-evident.
"He's the eldest son of the Xu family. How could he give up that status for me? So in the end, I helped him steal the gunpowder map. I didn't expect him to give me a legitimate status. As long as he could stay in the Xu Mansion, my status didn't matter."
There's a poisonous insect in southern Xinjiang that can devour people's souls and cause them to lose their judgment. Xu Yubai's abilities clearly sound far more powerful than this insect.
Yan Su said that she was good at reading people's hearts, but in fact she was wrong. Xu Yubai was the one who was good at reading people's hearts. He was sure that Yan Su would soften her heart and help him complete the final task.
