It's hard to say what kind of state of mind Li Zimu was in when he said this.
Maybe she felt that if Chu Xianping rebelled, there would be one less available person around Wei Changtian, and she wanted to "sacrifice herself" to keep Tang Chen.
Perhaps because she had completely given up on Chu Xianping, she felt that Tang Chen was not bad either. After all, the latter had been sincere to her so far.
Anyway, that's what she asked.
As for how Tang Chen would answer this question, it may not be difficult to guess.
"I, of course I am willing."
Tang Chen's breathing became rapid for a moment. Tang Chen didn't hesitate at all and blurted out what was on his mind almost the next moment.
But after a pause, he tentatively asked with some uncertainty:
"Miss Li, you, are you really willing to marry me?"
""
"Um."
Nodding, Li Zimu had a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
She slowly stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hold Tang Chen's hand.
But for some unknown reason, the hand suddenly paused when it reached halfway, and then gently took off a weed on Tang Chen's robe.
Although the change from "physical contact" to "tidying up clothes", such actions still made Tang Chen's mind wander for a while.
Then, he heard Li Zimu whisper:
"Master Tang."
"When Chu Xianping dies, we will get married."
""
For a moment, the night wind seemed to be suddenly cold, and it also chilled the people in the night.
Tang Chen slowly lowered his head, his expression changed from excitement to surprise, and then from surprise to bitterness.
If it was only the second half of the sentence, he would definitely not react like this now.
But why should we add such a condition to "marriage"?
Marriage is only a matter between two people.
If Li Zimu was really interested in him and willing to marry him, why did he wait until Chu Xianping died?
Tang Chen is not stupid, he knows why Li Zimu is doing this.
After all, if you want to kill Chu Xianping, you have to capture him first.
And if you want to arrest someone, you have to find them first.
As for how to find Chu Xianping, it was obvious that Wei Changtian had to use his ability to "read minds".
Therefore, Li Zimu was using himself for Wei Changtian.
"well"
Sighing slightly, Tang Chen raised his head and looked at Li Zimu, his eyes extremely complicated.
Before that, he had always firmly believed that Li Zimu's affection for him was pure.
But now, when Li Zimu proposed this "deal" without any secret, one can imagine Tang Chen's mood.
"Miss Li, it doesn't have to be like this."
With a wry smile, Tang Chen said slowly: "Young Master Wei helped you save your life, and now Chu Xianping has turned against you. I understand that you are anxious now and want to help Mr. Wei."
"But I don't want you to marry me because of this."
"Don't worry, if Mr. Wei needs me in the future, I will do my best to help him."
"As for what you just said"
"Just forget it."
""
Shaking his head, Tang Chen stopped looking at Li Zimu after saying the last sentence, turned around and walked towards the night.
Li Zimu wanted to marry, but he refused.
This statement not only means that even when facing the woman he loves, Tang Chen still has his own bottom line.
And the words "Forget it" made Li Zimu stunned for a moment.
She stared blankly at Tang Chen's back, her mouth slightly opened, as if she wanted to catch up.
But after more than ten breaths, she didn't take a step.
"one two three four"
"four four"
""
The "five" in my heart never sounded, and my eyes became moist without knowing when.
Li Zimu bit his lip, suddenly picked up his skirt at a certain moment, and chased after the figure who had walked away.
She ran very fast, and the hazy shadow in the moonlight stretched very long.
Then, the figures overlapped, and she threw herself into the arms of the man who had already stopped and turned around, tightly grasped the latter's clothes, and cried out in relief.
"Yes, sorry"
"Ooooooo, I'm sorry"
"sorry"
"Squeak~"
At midnight, Wei Changtian, who had stood on the city wall for a full hour, finally returned to the inn where he and Yang Liushi were staying temporarily.
The moment the door was opened, Yang Liushi, who had been waiting anxiously in the room, immediately came forward and asked in a worried and nervous voice:
"Sir, have you caught it?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head, took off his outer robe and threw it aside: "Escaped."
""
Yang Liushi's breath was stagnant, and her tone became more anxious: "What should we do? Is there something wrong with the Freemasonry?"
"The Freemasons are fine."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "And he also left the Chixiao Sword."
"Ah? Could it be a mistake?"
Yang Liushi looked confused: "If he is really rebelling, why would he do this?"
"Was it wrong? Then the envoy of Daqian said it himself. How can there be any mistake?"
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "Besides, if he didn't rebel, who would have killed the five hundred people from the Xuanjing Division?"
"this"
Yang Liushi stopped talking at this time, just sighed softly, then walked behind Wei Changtian and gently rubbed his shoulders.
After rubbing it for a while, she suddenly whispered:
"Sir, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"What are you talking about? Just say it." Wei Changtian closed his eyes.
"Um"
Yang Liushi hesitated and said: "The Nu family always feels that Chu Xianping may not have rebelled."
"Why do you say that?"
"I don't know the reason, I just feel this way."
"Feel?"
Wei Changtian opened his eyes and said with a smile: "What, are you planning to become a fortune teller?"
"Oh, sir, let's talk about business."
Yang Liushi lightly hit Wei Changtian on the shoulder and asked insistently:
"Don't you feel this way?"
"I"
Wei Changtian's word "I" was very long, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
To be honest, he did feel this way.
One is because he really couldn't find a reason for Chu Xianping to rebel.
The second reason is that there are many aspects of the whole thing that are weird.
However, putting aside these doubts, all the clear evidence now points to the fact that "Chu Xianping has rebelled."
so
"I don't believe in feelings, I only believe in what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian said slowly: "It's that simple."
"But"
"Dong dong dong!"
On the other side, Yang Liushi was just about to say something when a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Liushi walked over and opened the door, and then saw Zhang San sweating profusely outside the door.
"lady!"
Zhang San hurriedly raised his hand to Yangliu Shiyi: "I have something important to report to you!"
"Well, come in and talk."
Yang Liushi got out of the way, Zhang San didn't write any ink, and immediately walked quickly to Wei Changtian, took out a letter from his arms, and said quickly:
"Sir, a quarter of an hour ago news came from the Qingzhou Branch of the Xuanjing Division that a caravan met a group of people thirty miles west of Qingzhou City."
"The leader of this group is a young man in gray clothes, and the rest are all in black clothes."
"Then Mr. Gray Clothes asked the caravan to bring a message to Xuanjing Division, asking Xuanjing Division to bring it to you."
"Then the caravan leader asked the young man in gray for his name."
"Later, the latter said his surname was Chu."
""
His eyes widened suddenly. After hearing this, Wei Changtian immediately tore open the envelope and looked at the contents on the letter paper.
But just a moment later, a wry smile appeared on his lips, and he threw the letter to Yang Liushi.
"Let's see."
"I'm afraid you can't be a fortune teller anymore."
""
Reaching out to take the letter, Yang Liushi looked down with doubts in her eyes, and her expression immediately became exactly the same as Wei Changtian's.
Because the letter was written in black and white, the last words Chu Xianping left to Wei Changtian could not have been written more clearly.
[Master, everyone has his or her own ambitions, I'm sorry]
