Chapter 707 Passionate but annoyed by ruthlessness
"Miss Li..."
Hearing Zhang San's shout, the ambiguous atmosphere in the tent disappeared instantly.
Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:
"Master Wei, there must be something urgent. You should go as soon as possible."
"Um......"
Li Zimu blushed and nodded: "Then I'll come back to you later. I still have something to say to you."
"good......"
Tang Chen was at a loss for a while, not knowing what Li Zimu wanted to say to him.
Fortunately, the latter quickly turned around and walked out of the tent, so that he did not show his cowardice again.
"..."
Looking at the curtain that had slowly been lowered, Tang Chen felt both excited and anxious at the same time. He sat for a while and then stood up, and then stood for a while and sat down again. It would be no exaggeration to say that he felt uncomfortable sitting still.
As for Li Zimu outside the tent, she followed Zhang San quickly towards the main tent where Wei Changtian was, while silently counting her breaths in her heart.
One, two, three, four...five.
Soon, the number in my heart came to "five".
The next moment, the blush on his face disappeared as quickly as the ebbing tide, and his eyes changed from shy to indifferent almost in an instant.
If anyone was carefully observing Li Zimu's expression at this time, they would be particularly surprised.
Because in this short breath, she seemed to have completely changed.
Before it was as soft as a pool of spring water.
It's as cold as ice now.
"Miss Li, the young master is right here..."
In front of him, Zhang San suddenly stopped and turned around. The next moment his tone was stunned.
He clearly felt the change in Li Zimu, but he didn't ask any more questions and just continued to finish his sentence.
"Young master is in the tent, you can go in directly."
"Yes, thank you, Brother Zhang."
Although they are both nominally disciples of the Wei family, Zhang San's status is undoubtedly higher than that of Li Zimu, so the latter always calls Zhang San "eldest brother".
Li Zimu thanked him softly, then took a deep breath and opened the curtain, bowed his head and saluted the man inside:
"Son..."
"coming?"
Wei Changtian raised his head and winked at Zhang San.
The latter understood it and immediately exited the tent and lowered the curtain at the same time.
After Zhang San left the tent, Wei Changtian looked at Li Zimu again, and his expression became serious.
He didn't say any nonsense and asked directly:
"You should be able to contact Chu Xianping, right?"
"..."
...
"Crackling..."
The curtains swayed slightly, and the charcoal fire in the copper basin crackled.
Wei Changtian and Li Zimu were separated by a desk, one was sitting and the other was standing.
One has a calm expression, and the other has a slightly surprised expression.
But Li Zimu soon came to his senses and answered truthfully:
"Yes, I have a mother-in-law pair with Mr. Chu."
"Did he give it to you?" Wei Changtian asked again.
"No, it was left by this slave to Mr. Chu."
"Where did the secret word come from?"
"Using the secret words of Freemasonry."
"Have you sent any messages during the past few days since he left?"
"Yes, Mr. Chu will send a message to the slave every two days to report that he is safe."
"Did you say anything else?"
"No."
"Then have you told him about the situation here?"
"Master Chu asked, and my servant... said a few things."
"Um......"
After nodding and asking a series of questions, Wei Changtian fell into thinking.
As he guessed, Chu Xianping learned about the army's movements through Li Zimu.
Of course, these things are not secrets. Even if you don't go through Li Zimu, it is very simple to check through other means, but it will just lag a little.
As for whether Li Zimu will reveal any secrets...
Don't worry about that.
After all, apart from those detailed lists, Li Zimu didn't know any secrets.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
The charcoal fire was raging, and from time to time there were heavy footsteps outside the tent. They should be soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Wei Changtian didn't speak for a long time, and Li Zimu naturally didn't disturb his thoughts, so he just stood silently.
But although she didn't say a word, she was thinking quickly in her mind.
Why did the young master suddenly ask this?
It shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules for me and Mr. Chu to keep the mother-in-law jade.
So, what happened to Mr. Chu?
Thinking of this, Li Zimu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and a feeling of worry arose in his heart.
She didn't quite understand why Wei Changtian suddenly sent Chu Xianping out to do something at such a juncture. She once sent a letter to Chu Xianping to ask, but the latter said nothing.
Therefore, Li Zimu could only think that this matter should be very important, and Wei Changtian would do this because he had no other choice.
But now it seems that things are not as simple as I thought.
"Son..."
The worry about Chu Xianping in his heart became stronger and stronger. After almost a hundred breaths, Li Zimu couldn't bear it anymore and finally asked softly:
"what happens?"
"..."
Looking up at Li Zimu who looked nervous, Wei Changtian did not answer directly, but stood up expressionlessly and walked to her.
"What I am going to say next is top secret, and very few people know about it."
"This may surprise you, and you may not even believe it."
"But since I choose to tell you, I hope you can keep it secret."
"Do you understand?"
"..."
His shoulders trembled, and Li Zimu's worry reached its peak in an instant.
She nodded subconsciously, already beginning to wonder in her mind what happened to Chu Xianping that made Wei Changtian so serious.
Is someone trying to harm Mr. Chu?
Or did Mr. Chu encounter an accident on his way to find the sword?
His mind was filled with all kinds of bad conjectures, which also made Li Zimu's breathing become more and more rapid.
However, the next moment, she felt that her breathing and heartbeat suddenly stopped.
Because Li Zimu never imagined that he would hear such a sentence...
"Chu Xianping, he may have rebelled against the enemy."
...
...
Three hours later, Haishi.
The night was already deep, and the company camps that stretched for miles had become quiet. Only the footsteps of patrol soldiers echoed under the night.
Early tomorrow morning, the army will break camp and continue westward, crossing the Mang River, passing through the Western Desert and Gobi Desert, and will not rest again until they reach Huailing City.
So everyone went to bed very early tonight to recharge their batteries for the march in the next few days.
However, there are also many people who are still awake, or have difficulty falling asleep.
Just like Tang Chen.
"..."
Hesitating outside a certain tent, he looked at the light in the cracks in the tent, and his expression was very tangled at this moment.
Before Li Zimu went to find Wei Changtian, he had said that he would come back to him later and had something to say to him.
So Tang Chen waited nervously and apprehensively, and even thought in advance what he should say when faced with various situations.
However, until now he has not waited for Li Zimu.
Tang Chen was worried, so he ran to Li Zimu's tent and found that there was a light inside the tent.
This undoubtedly shows that Li Zimu was in the tent at this time.
So...did you forget it?
Apart from this explanation, Tang Chen could not think of any other possibility, so his eyes gradually became lonely.
He wanted to go in and ask Li Zimu, but he didn't have the courage, so in the end he had to turn around silently and prepare to leave.
But at this moment, the curtain behind him slowly opened a corner.
"Miss Li..."
Tang Chen turned around suddenly when he heard the noise. The depression he felt just now disappeared in an instant, and he opened his mouth to say something.
However, before he could speak, Li Zimu's cold voice sounded first.
"Mr. Tang, I have very important things to do tonight. We will talk about things between us later."
