The remaining stars have faded, dawn has broken, the rays of light pierce the last haze of the night, and the earth is enveloped in bright freshness.
At this moment, everything in Liangzhou City is so full of hope.
However, Wei Changtian's expression was as cold as a cold winter night.
Just now, "Tianjiyuan", which is responsible for information relay in Shuzhou City, received two messages from Xinfeng one after another.
One is from Shen Ran.
One is from Xu Suisui.
And almost at the same time, Zhan Shifu in the capital of Daning also received a "Secret Message from the Emperor" from Daqian.
From the current Emperor of Daqian, Jing Guoqing.
Therefore, in just one hour, three people related to the Xinfeng situation sent secret messages to Wei Changtian.
As for the contents of these three letters...
"call......"
Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian never expected that the situation in Xinfeng, which had been very stable since the war started, would change so quickly.
Just overnight, the balance of victory suddenly fell to the Qianhui coalition, and Xu Suisui and her Xinfeng fell into the abyss completely.
And the reason for all this turned out to be——
Buddhism rebelled.
...
...
Looking up at the golden morning sun on the horizon, Wei Changtian's eyes gradually became calm.
In fact, it is not quite accurate to say "Buddhist Rebellion".
To be more precise, some Buddhists rebelled, accounting for about 30% of all those who supported Xinfeng.
But this is enough.
Three counties and nine cities.
Overnight, all the cities in Xinfeng that were fighting with the Qianhui coalition forces were lost, and countless soldiers died in the battle.
And because these cities were destroyed too quickly and caught off guard, it was difficult for other cities in the Xinfeng hinterland to organize effective resistance in a short period of time.
Therefore, Xu Suisui could only make the same decision as Li Qi -
Abandon all other cities and defend the last lonely city.
That is Fengyuan, which has changed from Dafengjing City to New Fengjing City.
The above is the general content of the information sent back by Shen Ran.
As for why some people in Buddhism rebelled, what was the attitude of those second-grade monks, and how many troops Xu Suisui still had at the moment... Shen Ran might not be clear about these questions, or he might be able to explain them in a few words. Not sure, it wasn't mentioned in the letter anyway.
Compared with him, the letters written by Xu Suisui and Jing Guoqing were even more "valuing words like gold".
The latter could be considered a threat as he wanted to make a deal with Wei Changtian.
Jing Guoqing said in the letter that if Wei Changtian did not send troops to reinforce Xinfeng, then Qian Hui's two countries would never touch a single cent of Shu, and even the territory of Daning could be negotiated.
But if Wei Changtian doesn't do this and insists on sending troops to rescue Xinfeng, no matter what price he pays to return to the two countries, Shu will definitely fall within a year.
To put it simply -
We recognize the matter of the Great Enlightenment, but please don’t interfere with the matter of the New Enlightenment.
You'd better be wiser, otherwise I will kill you at all costs.
Use coercion and inducement, both soft and hard tactics.
Since Qian had such a tough attitude towards returning to the two countries, and he immediately sent a letter to warn Wei Changtian...
Then what Xu Suisui said in the letter couldn't be more obvious.
In fact, she only sent two words in total.
【help me】
...
help me.
With these two words echoing repeatedly in his mind, Wei Changtian turned his head and looked around.
In the distance, Liangzhou City has become lively, with people coming and going outside the alley.
A little closer, more than a dozen carriages were still parked in the same place. The maids and carriage drivers standing beside the carriages looked at this side curiously, not knowing what was going on.
Beside him, Chu Xianping, Yang Liushi, Liang Qin, and Zhang San all looked at him seriously, waiting for him to speak.
Looking at it this way, the current situation actually seems a bit familiar.
More than a year ago, he had just destroyed the Liu family, thinking he could take a breath of relief and live a stable life.
As a result, not long after he married Xu Qingwan, the situation in Yuanzhou suddenly changed, and Liang Zhen and his daughter were trapped in Yuanzhou City.
Even at that time, it was news that Chu Xianping sent in a hurry...
Thinking about it this way, the two are quite similar.
However, it took Wei Changtian nearly half a day last time to make the decision to rescue Liang Zhen and his daughter.
But this time, he only used up a hundred breaths.
"Brother Chu, three things."
Under the gazes of Chu Xianping and Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian calmly said:
"First, immediately notify Uncle Liang, General Han, and Brother Du to discuss matters at the state government office in half an hour."
"Second, send a letter to Shen Ran and ask him to explain everything he knows in detail."
"Third, send a letter to Zhan Shifu and ask them to tell Jing Guoqing..."
At this point, Wei Changtian's tone finally turned cold, and the expressions of Chu Xianping and others suddenly became shocked.
They even thought they had heard wrongly.
At this moment, everyone felt a chill down their spines, all the noise in their ears disappeared, and only Wei Changtian's voice echoed word by word.
"Just say that if Qian returns to the two countries and immediately gets out of Xinfeng, then I can forget about it and let them go."
"But if they don't know how to praise me, within a year, I will definitely let Da Gan and Da Hui perish."
"Tell Zhan Shifu that the original words will be passed on without changing a word."
"..."
The morning sun is dazzling, but it cannot make people feel the slightest warmth.
If they don't know how to praise me, I will definitely let them go and destroy the country within a year...
Chu Xianping and others may have anticipated the various decisions Wei Changtian would make, but they certainly did not expect that the latter would respond in such a "tit-for-tat" manner.
For a moment, everyone was silent, or they had not yet recovered from the shock.
However, Wei Changtian didn't care about this. After a short pause, he continued:
"By the way, reply to Xu Suisui."
"Just say I'll be there soon."
"..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Save me]
【almost there】
In just three words, Wei Changtian's decision was clear enough.
Not only would he go to rescue him, but he would go there immediately.
"call!"
A gust of wind suddenly blew by, causing the corners of Wei Changtian's clothes to sway.
After taking a look at the four people around him, he saw that he had no intention of explaining anything. He said the last words and turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
"Brother Chu, come with me."
"..."
"yes!"
Chu Xianping was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed Wei Changtian and left, leaving only Zhang San, Yang Liushi, and Liang Qin standing there looking at each other.
Their expressions were different, but they were all very surprised.
Among them, Liang Qin, who knew the least, was the one who came to his senses first.
"That...Sister Liu Shi."
She was silent for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "We shouldn't be leaving today, right?"
"...Probably not." Yang Liushi shook her head blankly.
"Okay, then I'll have someone put the luggage back first."
Liang Qin nodded, then turned around and walked away, telling the maid and servant to "unload" the goods.
Obviously, since she didn't know about the past events between Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui, she felt that Wei Changtian's decision to aid Xinfeng was understandable.
But Yangliu Shi, who knew more, couldn't figure it out at this time.
It shouldn't be.
Haven't the young master and Miss Xu already broken up?
Why was there almost no hesitation just now?
Even if it is for the sake of the overall situation, shouldn't this matter be discussed with Chu Xianping and others first?
You must know that if the young master encountered any major events before, even if he did not discuss it with others, he would at least discuss it with Chu Xianping before making a decision.
But why did the young master not ask anyone's opinion this time and made a decision in such a short time?
It's like he has to do this...
"Why?"
Yang Liushi murmured subconsciously, but Zhang San next to her happened to hear her.
The latter hesitated for a moment and then suddenly asked:
"Madam, you don't understand why the young master agreed to Miss Xu?"
"Um?"
Looking up at Zhang San, Yang Liushi nodded blankly.
"Yes, I didn't understand it."
"Zhang San, do you know?"
"Uh, little man..."
Zhang San hesitated for a moment, as if he was wondering if he could talk about this.
After a while, he probably felt that there was no big problem, so he replied in a low voice:
"Madam, it's normal that the young master didn't tell you about this matter."
"Didn't you go looking for that little fox before, and after accidentally entering the teleportation array, there was no news? You made the young master very anxious at that time..."
"..."
Soon, Zhang San roughly told what happened after Yang Liushi accidentally entered the seventh demon land.
How Wei Changtian asked Liang Zhen to investigate the teleportation array, how he ordered people to be transferred from the capital to help, how he made the deal with Xu Suisui...
These things were not considered secrets, and Yang Liushi was not an outsider, so Zhang San did not hide anything and told everything.
"...That's it. Young Master asked me to send a message to Miss Xu and inquire about the situation at the teleportation array."
"Madam, you also know that since Miss Xu left after the Battle of Shuzhou, the relationship between her and the young master has been bad, and the two of them have never exchanged letters."
"The master may be afraid that Miss Xu will not want to help, so he promised to owe Miss Xu a favor and will repay it in the future if he can."
"That's why the young master just decided to help Xinfeng without any hesitation."
"Madam, of course, this is just a villain's speculation, just listen to it..."
Looking at Yang Liushi with a strange expression, Zhang San thought the former was suspecting something, so he quickly added the last sentence.
However, Yang Liushi remained motionless, standing there blankly as if a immobilizing spell had been cast on her.
She really didn't know what Zhang San said just now.
Because Wei Changtian never told her.
And now, when she knows this...
Tears welled up in her eyes. If there weren't so many people around her, Yang Liushi would have cried.
"Madam? Are you okay..."
On the other side, Zhang San couldn't help but said uneasily when he saw that Yang Liushi didn't speak for a long time:
"Well, I probably shouldn't tell you this, villain. You..."
"Zhang San, I'm fine."
Yang Liushi suddenly took a deep breath and interrupted: "I won't tell my husband about this, just don't worry."
"Uh, thank you madam..."
Zhang San scratched his head and muttered in a low voice with relief: "Young master is thin-skinned. If he knows that the villain told the lady about this, he will probably be punished..."
"Thin-skinned?"
Yang Liushi had already adjusted her mentality, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned again.
"Why do you say that?"
"this......"
Zhang San realized that he had made a mistake and was just about to deal with it.
However, after he thought about it, he felt that everything else had already been said, as well as the last point, so he lowered his voice and replied in a low voice:
"Madam, you don't know."
"In order to save you, the young master not only promised to owe Miss Xu a favor, he also said to Miss Xu in the letter, ahem..."
"He said that this time he will beg Miss Xu."
"Madam, do you think that the young master has ever asked for help?"
"What's more, Miss Xu has already parted ways with the young master."
"From a villain's point of view, the young master must have felt that this matter was too humiliating, and that's why he didn't tell you, madam."
"But in the eyes of a villain, this is nothing..."
"..."
With his head lowered, Zhang San was still talking non-stop.
But Yang Liushi could no longer hear his voice.
Tears that could no longer be held back welled up in her eyes. She covered her mouth tightly and slowly turned her head to look at Wei Changtian who was standing under a tree in the courtyard in the distance, listening to Chu Xianping's words.
As luck would have it, the latter accidentally glanced this way at this time.
At this time, the two were almost twenty feet apart. Although it was blurry, Yang Liushi could vaguely see Wei Changtian's expression.
Wei Changtian seemed to want to show a "well-prepared" attitude so that Yang Liushi would not have to worry about Xin Feng, so he smiled at her.
"..."
The waning moon has gone and a new sun has come.
Looking at the figure blankly, Yang Liushi felt that the sunlight around her suddenly became extremely warm, melting away all the doubts and struggles in her heart.
About Su Xiu's words that "a demon will be a demon after all", about Wei Zhaohai's warning that he "cannot give birth to an heir for Changtian", about the beginning of himself and Wei Changtian that was associated with Tang Chen...
Yang Liushi doesn't care about all these problems.
I don't care now and I won't care in the future either.
Because she knows that she has got everything...
"Ah! Sister Liu Shi, why are you crying?"
Suddenly, Liang Qin's urgent voice interrupted Yang Liushi's thoughts.
The latter looked away, looked at Liang Qin who looked nervous, then looked at Zhang San who was extremely worried, wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile:
"I'm fine, I just accidentally got sand in my eyes."
"Sister Liu Shi, although I'm not as smart as you, I'm not that stupid."
Liang Qin obviously didn't believe her fake reason, so he glared at Zhang San.
"Zhang San! Did you say something that you shouldn't have said that made Sister Liu Shi cry?"
"Speak quickly! Otherwise I will tell Brother Changtian to go!"
"Ah? Husband, madam, I didn't say anything..."
Zhang San had never thought about why Yang Liushi was crying, but now he dared to say what he just said to Liang Qin again. At the moment, he could only deal with it in a hesitant way, while looking at Yang Liushi for help.
The latter understood, smiled, took Liang Qin's hand and walked away.
"Sister Liang, I really don't blame Zhang San. I just thought of some sad things."
"Huh? What's the sad thing?"
"How can I tell you sad things? Wouldn't it make you sad too?"
"But we are sisters, sister Liu Shi, please tell me! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep for several days!"
"Well, let me think about it..."
"Sister Liu Shi! I knew you were lying to me!"
"Goose goose, why am I lying to you?"
"Look, look! You are laughing now! How can you laugh if you are really sad!"
"Yeah, did I laugh?"
“You’re smiling so happily!”
"Then I won't laugh..."
"..."
Outside the courtyard gate, the maids and servants were still unloading the luggage from the carriage one after another, complaining softly that all the trouble this morning was in vain.
At the entrance of the hospital, Zhang San stared dumbfoundedly as Yang Liushi and Liang Qin slowly walked away, feeling both uneasy and confused.
In the breeze, the voices of the two women became quieter and quieter, and the hems of one white and one blue skirt swayed gently with their steps.
Morning dew hangs on the tips of several grasses on the roadside, reflecting the light of spring in the human world.
