Chapter 699 Chu Xianpings real purpose(1/2)
"call!"
The cool breeze poured in from the open windows, causing all the candlelights in the house to sway.
Yang Liushi seemed to feel something, and her long eyelashes trembled in the wind.
Yan Huaiqing rebelled against Chu Xianping. The whole thing was actually instigated by the young master...
It was obvious that Wei Changtian's last words just now shocked her greatly.
This not only means that Wei Changtian's doubts and worries about Chu Xianping are not just tonight.
It also means that Wei Changtian was ahead of Chu Xianping in planning this matter.
"Son..."
Taking a deep breath, Yang Liushi realized that she was probably the only person besides Wei Changtian and Yan Huaiqing who knew about this matter.
She also understood that some of the words Chu Xianping said to Yan Huaiqing might not be "appropriate".
so......
"Sir, what did Chu Xianping say?"
From "Chu Gongzi" to "Chu Xianping", Yang Liushi's change in title undoubtedly reflects his change in attitude towards Chu Xianping.
Wei Changtian closed his eyes and recalled for a while, and then said silently:
"Actually, it's nothing."
"Since he told me that he was pretending to promise Yan Huaiqing, he would naturally say something that seemed to be the opposite."
"but......"
"Liu Shi, if someone wants to instigate you, and you intend to pretend to agree..."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian raised his head and asked, "What will you do?"
"Um......"
Yang Liushi thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "I should give that person some irrelevant information first so that he can completely believe me."
"That's right, that should be it."
Wei Changtian nodded and sighed: "But Chu Xianping is not like that."
"At that time, Yan Huaiqing asked him two things."
"The first is the formula of black powder."
"The second is whether I will reinforce the Xinfeng side once they are unable to resist the Qianhui army."
"Chu Xianping was able to easily obtain the black powder formula from the Tiangong Bureau, and he also knew that I would definitely help Xinfeng."
"Oh, I owed Xu Suisui a favor for something before, and I promised to repay her if I can. Chu Xianping knows this."
"So if it were you at this time, how would you answer Yan Huaiqing?"
Pressing his temples, Wei Changtian asked Yang Liushi again.
He didn't know that the latter had actually learned the whole story about the teleportation array from Zhang San, so he made it clear.
Yangliu Shi, who already understood the reason, was moved again when he heard this, and a soft wave appeared in his eyes.
However, even though she was moved, she did not forget to answer Wei Changtian's question.
"If it were the slave family..."
"Black gunpowder is of great importance. The slaves should either delay or simply refuse. In short, they will not agree."
"As for the second thing... I should be able to tell the truth."
"After all, even if Yan Huaiqing knows about this matter, there will be no direct harm to the young master."
"What's more, if Yan Huaiqing informs Qian Hui of this information, the latter will be more cautious in using troops against Xin Feng."
"On the other hand, if I didn't say it, or if I told lies, I would be able to act even more unscrupulously when I go back to the second country."
"..."
We can't talk about black powder, but we can talk about things that will reinforce Xinfeng.
This is the answer given by Yangliu Shi.
And when she finished speaking and looked at Wei Changtian's expression, she knew that Chu Xianping must not have answered Yan Huaiqing in this way.
She thought for a moment and then asked tentatively:
"Sir, on what matter does Chu Xianping's... answer differ from that of the Nu family?"
"..."
"well......"
Without speaking immediately, Wei Changtian just sighed, got up and walked to the window.
He faced the window, as if looking at the dark night, and after a long while he said silently:
"all different."
"..."
Turning his head suddenly to look at Wei Changtian's back, Yang Liushi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
all different.
This means that Chu Xianping promised to give Yan Huaiqing the formula of black powder.
And he also told Yan Huaiqing——
If Xin Feng is in a hurry, Wei Changtian will not send troops to help.
"this......"
Yang Liushi's eyes widened in disbelief, and Yang Liushi's thoughts at the moment were like a mess.
Wei Changtian, who has been thinking about this issue for several days, has a much clearer logic.
"Actually, the first thing is okay. Although Chu Xianping agreed to Yan Huaiqing, it doesn't mean that he will come up with the formula immediately."
"Anyway, black powder is already used on the battlefield, and sooner or later it will be copied by others."
"So as long as Chu Xianping gives out the formula a little later, it won't do much harm to us."
"And at least he told me the truth about it."
Taking one last glance at the dark and deep night sky, Wei Changtian slowly closed the wooden window with an expressionless expression.
When Yangliu Shi heard this, he was even more surprised.
If this matter is told truthfully, doesn't that mean...
"Son..."
She asked blankly: "The second thing, didn't Chu Xianping tell you?"
"No."
Wei Changtian walked back to the table and sat down again: "He said Yan Huaiqing only asked him one question."
"Yes, but why is this?"
Yang Liushi's face was filled with confusion: "Why did he hide this?"
"It's simple, because if he told the truth, he knew I would doubt him."
Wei Changtian smiled and said: "So I can only hide it."
"this......"
Yang Liushi bit her lip, and after a moment she finally understood what Wei Changtian said.
Just like the answer she just gave.
Faced with the second question, the best solution is to directly tell Yan Huaiqing that Ning and Shu will definitely reinforce Xinfeng.
But Chu Xianping did not do this, so he either needed to find a reasonable explanation to convince Wei Changtian, or simply conceal the matter.
It was obvious that Chu Xianping could not come up with an explanation that could make Wei Changtian suspicious.
Therefore, he could only choose the latter.
"..."
For a time, the tea room fell into a long silence.
By now, Yang Liushi has figured out most of the things, but only the last thing, which is also the most important thing, has not been figured out.
"Then...why did Chu Xianping lie about whether to aid Xin Feng or not? And it was such a lie that could easily be exposed?"
"I didn't think about this at first."
"But when I thought about it from his perspective, I finally had a guess."
Wei Changtian put the empty dishes back on the wooden plate and said slowly:
To be continued...
