The firelight flickered, casting a hazy light on Li Zimu and Tang Chen.
When the two stood facing each other again, it was obvious that they both wanted to say a lot to each other, but they didn't know where to start.
After a long silence, it was Li Zimu who smiled and wiped the tears from his eyes first, and whispered:
"I thought you wouldn't come back..."
"..."
"I......"
Tang Chen looked back at the teleportation array and shook his head: "I have to go and explain the matter clearly to His Royal Highness."
"Um."
Li Zimu nodded slightly and asked again: "Then will he allow you to come back?"
"Whether he allows it or not, I'm still coming back."
Tang Chen smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "I will make this matter clear to Mr. Wei, you don't have to worry."
"good......"
Lowering his head and pinching the corner of his clothes, Li Zimu blushed and didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Tang Chen didn't know whether he was "not understanding the custom" or "asking knowingly", but he hesitated and asked a question that could almost be called nonsense.
"Um...are you waiting for me?"
"if not?"
Slowly raising his head, Li Zimu looked at Tang Chen and asked angrily: "Who else can I wait for?"
"Well......"
Tang Chen lowered his head cautiously and responded in utter embarrassment.
"I see."
"..."
You say something and I say something. The conversation between the two is intermittent and sounds very incoherent.
And this exactly reflects their complicated mood at the moment.
Not only is there joy, but there is also a kind of entanglement that perhaps only they themselves can understand.
after all......
"By the way, have you seen Mr. Chu?"
Suddenly, Tang Chen asked tentatively: "Has he ever known what happened between us?"
"You should know."
Li Zimu looked directly at Tang Chen: "Master Wei will definitely tell him."
"Really, then where is he now?"
Tang Chen took a step closer with a very serious expression: "I want to talk to him."
"..."
Tang Chen actually offered to have a chat with Chu Xianping.
This move was something Li Zimu had not expected before.
Her eyes became more complicated, she was silent for a few breaths, and then she shook her head slightly.
"He has returned to Liangzhou City."
"Master Wei prepared a welcoming banquet for him, and they left in the afternoon. They should be drinking at the bar now."
"Oh, let's talk about this later."
Tang Chen nodded and didn't pay too much attention. He and Li Zimu looked at each other and walked out of the main hall where the teleportation array was located.
There were several guards standing guard outside the palace, and there was a group of patrolling soldiers not far away. The sound of armor scraping seemed dull and lonely in the middle of the night.
They all saw Tang Chen, but they did not step forward to question him. It must be something Wei Changtian had ordered before he left.
"Miss Li..."
Standing outside the main hall, Tang Chen raised his head and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky, then turned to ask Li Zimu.
"Where are we going now? Back to Liangzhou City?"
"Also, do you want to tell Mr. Wei about my return first?"
"No need, the moment you walked out of the teleportation array, someone must have sent the message back."
Li Zimu smiled, with stars twinkling in his eyes.
"As for where we go now..."
"Mr. Tang, the war between the two countries has ceased now. If nothing else happens, we should be able to return to Shu in a few days."
“After leaving this time, I don’t know what year or month it will be next time I come to Liangzhou.”
"So you can accompany me to see the snow-capped mountains tonight, okay?"
See the snow-capped mountains?
Tang Chen was stunned, and looked at the vast snow-capped mountains in the distance that were white and without a trace of dust under the moonlight, and asked subconsciously:
"Miss Li, do you like snow scenes?"
"Um."
Li Zimu responded softly, his eyes suddenly becoming a little lonely.
She looked far away, seeming to sigh, and murmuring with regret:
"Because the snow is very clean..."
"..."
...
Liangzhou City.
Just when Li Zimu and Tang Chen were sitting on a huge rock outside the mountain temple, silently looking at the Tianshan Mountains bathed in the moonlight, the banquet that gathered all the big shots in the city finally ended.
Standing outside the courtyard gate with Liang Qin and Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian was putting all the guests on the carriage one by one.
"Brother Du, go back and have a good rest. We will go to the state government office tomorrow morning to discuss matters..."
"Hahaha! Mr. Dong! I will set up another table before I leave! Then we will drink again..."
"Uncle Liang, after much thought, I think it would be better for us to continue to refer to each other as uncle and nephew..."
"Brother Chu, Tang Chen is back..."
In the darkness, several carriages drove away one after another, but until they disappeared completely, Chu Xianping's carriage was still parked at the entrance of the small courtyard.
Beside the carriage, Wei Changtian joked with some gloating:
"Hahaha, I can't say who will win the beauty in the end between you and Tang Chen!"
"Sir, didn't you mean..."
Chu Xianping asked blankly: "Is Miss Li fake about Tang Chen?"
"It's fake now, but what about in the future?"
Wei Changtian smiled and said: "Who can say the best about feelings? What if Li Zimu loses it to herself?"
"Well......"
Frowning, Chu Xianping obviously had not assumed this possibility, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy at the moment.
He hesitated for a long time, and then asked in a low voice:
"Sir, when will they come back? I want to talk to Tang Chen."
"Brother Chu, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back tonight."
Wei Changtian said, "It's not a big deal for theatergoers." He replied with a pretentious sigh: "The two of us are still watching the snow scene at the mountain temple."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know what we are talking about..."
"..."
The lights were brightly lit outside the courtyard gate, and the horse pulling the carriage raised its head high and rubbed its front hooves back and forth on the ground.
Seeing Wei Changtian's expression, Chu Xianping felt worried and embarrassed for a moment.
He knew that he would probably be even more embarrassed if he continued talking, so he quickly raised his hands and prepared to leave.
"Ahem, sir, I understand."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let's talk about this later. I accidentally drank a few more glasses of wine tonight, and now I have a severe headache, so I went back to rest..."
It’s already at level 5, and you’ll still get a headache if you drink it.
The excuse Chu Xianping made was undoubtedly very lame, but Wei Changtian did not "take advantage of the victory" and just waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's go!"
"yes."
"Sir, ladies and gentlemen, please take your leave."
"..."
He bowed his hands to Liang Qin and Yang Liushi again. Chu Xianping got into the carriage as if he was relieved and quickly drove away.
Wei Changtian stood there and watched for a while, and then walked up to the last person who was about to leave.
"General Han, let me ask you something."
The smile on his face slowly faded. At this time, Wei Changtian seemed to be a different person, his expression was too calm.
When Han Zhao saw this, he immediately suppressed his smile, raised his hands and said seriously:
"Sir, please speak."
"Um......"
Wei Changtian nodded without any ink, and immediately asked a question in front of Han Zhao's astonished eyes.
"General Han, can you feel the aura of Puppet Pill from Chu Xianping?"
"..."
He suddenly raised his head and his eyes widened subconsciously.
Han Zhao never expected that Wei Changtian would ask this.
People who have taken the Puppet Pill can feel each other's specialness. This is also the easiest way to identify colleagues in the same boat group.
Since Han Zhao had taken the Puppet Pill, he could naturally tell whether Chu Xianping had taken the Puppet Pill.
So Wei Changtian's question itself is not difficult to answer.
What really surprised Han Zhao was the logic behind this question——
If you trust a person deeply, then you will definitely not test his or her loyalty.
And once you intend to verify whether a person is loyal, it means that you have already doubted this person.
Therefore... Mr. Wei actually became suspicious of Chu Xianping?!
For anyone who has been with Wei Changtian for a long time, this incident is unbelievable.
In other words, in the eyes of almost everyone, if there is a traitor around Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping should be the least likely one.
so now......
For a moment, Han Zhao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
He knew that what he should do most and the only thing he could do now was to tell the truth, so he quickly calmed down and answered truthfully in a deep voice:
"Back to Young Master, Young Master Chu does have the aura of Puppet Pill on his body!"
