The tea on the table has gone cold, and the room is not quiet.
In other words, after the news that Li Qi was about to be executed spread, there was no quiet place in Huailing City.
Surrounded by distant and chaotic noises, Wei Changtian looked down at the note in his hand again.
The surprise I felt when I "translated the code" just now has faded, and now I am more filled with doubts and confusion.
Xu Suisui wants to rob the execution ground to save Li Qi?
Is this the purpose of her coming to Huailing?
Or is it just one of her purposes?
More importantly...how did Chu Xianping know her plan?
"Chi~"
His brows furrowed slightly, and a wisp of true energy came out from his fingertips, lighting the note on fire.
Looking at the flames jumping and struggling on the table, Wei Changtian had several thoughts flashing through his mind.
After denying the obviously unreliable speculations such as "Chu Xianping is also a time traveler", there is only one truth left -
Chu Xianping placed Xizuo next to Xu Suisui.
but......
Wei Changtian didn't know who was around Xu Suisui. The only ones he knew for sure were Qin Zhengqiu and Shen Ran.
So, Xizuo is Shen Ran?
After all, before Xu Suisui "parted ways" with him, the only person Chu Xianping could contact was Shen Ran.
But how did Chu Xianping do it?
Puppet Dan...
After tapping his knuckles on the table for a moment, Wei Changtian seemed to have figured out the whole story.
Although there are still many questions that are still doubtful, the logical chain of "Chu Xianping used the Puppet Pill to control Shen Ran, and then mastered Xu Suisui's movements" is at least reasonable.
But this also raises another issue.
Shen Ran may be able to reveal Xu Suisui's whereabouts and plans, but he obviously does not have the strength to stop Qin Zhengqiu from robbing the law field.
So what the message says "I can stop this" should come from another force.
As for what kind of power Chu Xianping controls...
Wei Changtian guessed that it was most likely Kui Long.
To be precise, it should be Kui Long Bing's three-point rudder.
It seems that in the "cooperation" with Zhuang Zhiming, Chu Xianping should occupy a dominant position...
"call!"
A gust of wind squeezed in through the crack in the window.
The cold wind blew away the black ashes from the burned note, and also made Wei Changtian stop thinking about Chu Xianping for the time being.
Anyway, the latter has already taken the Puppet Pill on his own initiative, so there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion.
So these things can be put aside later.
The most important thing right now is to decide Li Qi's life or death as soon as possible.
...
[I can stop this, but I don’t know if it’s necessary?]
[I hope the young master will make a decision as soon as possible.]
Reaching out to brush away the black ash that fell on his clothes, Wei Changtian recalled these two sentences repeatedly in his mind.
If Chu Xianping did not exaggerate, then Li Qi's life and death are actually not in Ning Yongnian's hands, nor in Xu Suisui's hands, but in his own hands.
As long as he orders to stop Xu Suisui's plan, Li Qi will die.
On the contrary, if he had allowed Xu Suisui to act, Li Qi would not have died.
At first glance, this choice seems very simple.
After all, as the saying goes, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Since Li Qi is Ning Yongnian's enemy, he should be his friend.
What's more, I am an "old acquaintance" with Emperor Da Feng, and it seems that "saving him" is a matter of course.
Thinking about it this way, it even felt a bit unnecessary for Chu Xianping to ask such a question.
But things are actually not that simple.
Although from a certain perspective, it is indeed a good thing that Li Qi is alive.
But you must know that after he was rescued, he fell into the hands of Xu Suisui, and no one can say what the latter will use Li Qi to do.
Moreover, since I want to achieve the goal of putting Ning Yongnian in a "dilemma", it is not enough to simply prevent Ning Yongnian from returning to Daning.
We must make sure that the latter is not stable in Dafeng.
And Li Qi's death was undoubtedly the best way to arouse the people of Dafeng to resist.
What Ning Yongnian wanted was to leave a Dafeng riddled with holes, pat his butt, and leave.
What Wei Changtian wanted was to keep Ning Yongnian in this devastated Dafeng.
In this way, from the perspective of "maximizing interests", it is actually the best choice to let Li Qi be executed in public.
Besides, this also involves the issue of Xu Suisui's motives.
"If things develop normally, Li Qi should be dead, right..."
Closing his eyes, Wei Changtian muttered to himself.
Although it is a question, the answer to this question is actually obvious.
Since Xu Suisui wants to rob the execution ground to save people, it must mean that Li Qi is dead in the original work with Wei Changtian as the protagonist.
In other words, he in the original work should have chosen the most rational approach.
Of course, it's possible that Wei Changtian wanted to save him but couldn't, or it's possible that he wanted to save him but had no choice but to give up due to lack of ability.
But no matter what the situation is, Li Qi's death is an inevitable result.
If Xu Suisui did not travel through time, then Wei Changtian would undoubtedly be unable to change everything.
But now he has another chance to change his "destiny"... not only to change Li Qi's destiny, but also to change his own destiny.
"..."
"What will happen if we know the original plot?"
"Perform the play according to the script? Or do you have to deliberately change everything?"
"Both of these are stupid."
"So I would rather not know the so-called fate and just do what I think I should do at the moment."
"..."
The last few words he had spoken with Xu Suisui at the Guanghan County Government flashed through his mind. After a moment of silence, Wei Changtian finally made a decision.
He took out the Zimu Jade and passed two words to Chu Xianping, then slowly put the jade away and turned to look at the copper drain placed beside the table.
It's five quarters before the time, and there are still three quarters of an hour before Shenshi.
He drank up the herbal tea in the cup, stood up and opened the door.
"Son."
Yang Liushi and the Masonic spies who had been waiting outside the door walked into the house. After a while, they heard Wei Changtian slowly say:
"Go to a more secluded place near Caishikou, but don't be too close to the execution site, just have an unobstructed line of sight."
"I'll be there later."
"Yes! The villain understands!"
He cupped his fists in response, and the spy immediately took the order and left, leaving only Yang Liushi who was hesitant to speak and Wei Changtian standing opposite.
"Son..."
After several hesitations, Yang Liushi finally came closer and asked softly: "But what happened?"
"Yeah, but it's not necessarily a bad thing."
Nodding, Wei Changtian obviously had no intention of further explanation. He just turned around and took off the cotton-padded jacket from the hanger and put it on in twos and twos.
Turning his head and looking at Yang Liushi, who was still standing there with a worried look on his face, he suddenly smiled.
"What are you doing standing still? Change your clothes!"
"Don't look so sad. I know what's going on, so don't worry."
