Chapter 763 I turn a blind eye when I should cooperate with you in your performance
Two quarters of an hour later.
Go back to the Tengu Army camp thirty miles west of the main army camp.
In less than half an hour, the Tengu Army's first invasion after arriving in Fengyuan ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Although this battle was roughly estimated to kill at least 10,000 enemies, to be honest it did not achieve the expected goal.
There is no doubt that this is closely related to Wei Changtian's sudden order to withdraw his troops.
"Mr. Sir, there was nothing unusual about the situation in the battle just now. Why should we withdraw?"
In the newly set up camp, Yang Liushi finally asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
And since there were only two of them in the tent at this time, Wei Changtian didn't hide anything and soon told her the whole story.
After listening to it, Yang Liushi was inevitably stunned, and after a while he said thoughtfully:
"So, Chu Xianping has been helping us secretly?"
"Well, that's what it looks like."
Wei Changtian nodded with serious eyes: "First he left the Red Sky Sword behind when he left, then he reminded you to pay attention to Du Chang, and now he even warned me to beware of Lu Hongji's backhand..."
"Judging from the results, he is indeed helping us, but we don't know what his real purpose is."
"Perhaps he never rebelled from the beginning?"
Yang Liushi frowned and asked: "Before, the slave family felt that there was something weird in this. But if Chu Xianping really acted out a fake and treacherous drama, then everything can be explained."
"Fake betrayal...Oh, it's not like I haven't thought about it that way."
Sighing slightly, Wei Changtian shook his head and said, "But don't forget the other things he did."
"At first, I asked Yan Huaiqing to test him, and he lied."
"After that, all the five hundred Xuanjing Division officers in Qingzhou died in his hands, not a single one of them survived."
"Now, Zhuang Zhiming and the others are here because of his orders."
"And that message."
"Everyone has his own ambitions... Do you think if he was a traitor, it would be necessary for him to leave me such a sentence?"
"this......"
Yang Liushi lowered her head and did not speak immediately. It was obvious that she was very conflicted.
On the one hand, Chu Xianping did help them a lot after the "rebellion". At least if it hadn't been for the former, the Tengu Army might have been buried in Luo Xing Valley by Du Chang.
But on the other hand, what Wei Changtian said was right.
If it was just a fake rebellion, why did Chu Xianping kill so many people from the Xuanjing Division? And why did he ask Zhuang Zhiming to help Lu Hongji stabilize the morale of the army?
Yes, he did let Zhuang Zhiming keep his hand.
But thinking about it from another perspective, the sneak attack just now did "scare" the Tengu army away...
"Maybe... he just doesn't want to be noticed by Lu Hongji?"
After thinking for a moment, Yang Liushi softly expressed his thoughts: "Chu Xianping's realm is low. If he is a false traitor, once the slightest trace is revealed, all his previous achievements may be in vain."
"Miss Li once said that if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself."
"Maybe Chu Xianping can only protect himself by doing this?"
"..."
Xiu frowned slightly, her voice was not loud, and was mixed with the noise outside the tent.
The meaning of Yang Liushi's words is very simple, that is, Chu Xianping "played the trick" in order to make the performance more realistic, and still lied to Wei Changtian even though he knew that Yan Huaiqing was intentionally testing him.
Including the subsequent killing of the five hundred Xuanjing Division officers, it was only for the world to see.
And the reason why he did this was undoubtedly to make everyone think that he had really rebelled, so that Lu Hongji would completely believe him...
It was obvious that after experiencing what had happened in recent days, Yang Liushi had gradually begun to lean towards the fact that Chu Xianping was not really betraying him.
However, Wei Changtian shook his head again, his thoughts were different from hers.
"Your argument still doesn't make sense."
"I can understand him lying to others, but does he need to lie to me?"
"Okay, even if he wants to get close to Lu Hongji smoothly, he doesn't hesitate to include me."
"But what now? If he is a traitor, he should tell me the truth at this critical moment, right?"
"Otherwise, if I do something to mess up his plan, or if he does something to mess up my plan, wouldn't it be worth the loss in the end?"
"So in my opinion, whether he is helping me or helping Lu Hongji, it seems true, but in fact it is all false."
"He has done so much, but in the end he is just helping himself."
"..."
He did not think that Chu Xianping was a false traitor, and believed that the former did all this just for a temporarily unknown purpose.
This is what Wei Changtian wants to express.
but......
"My lord, why do you still order the Tengu army to withdraw?"
Suddenly, Yang Liushi asked a question softly, which caused an undetectable change in Wei Changtian's expression.
There was a brief silence in the tent until Yang Liushi paused, looked at him and continued:
"Since the Prime Minister has confirmed that Chu Xianping is not a traitor, why do you still help him perform this scene?"
"Also, Mr. Xian just said that Chu Xianping has not told you the truth until now."
"But according to the Yinu family, Chu Xianping has actually said it twice..."
The tone was serious, and Yangliu Shi's voice clearly echoed in Wei Changtian's ears.
Wei Changtian naturally understood what she meant by "twice".
One time was what Wang Kang said, "The truth will be revealed in five days."
One time was when Zhuang Zhiming said, "Within five days, I will definitely give you the result you want."
These two sentences can indeed be understood as Chu Xianping's "show of loyalty", and judging from Wei Changtian's action of ordering the Tengu Army to retreat, it seems that he did not distrust the former as much as he said.
"Okay, you can see this..."
Curling his lips, Wei Changtian glanced at Yang Liushi helplessly: "Liu Shi, I found that after taking the Eclipse Bead, not only did your Taoism improve greatly, but your thinking became much more meticulous, almost like Li Zimu."
"The slave family is a fox demon, that's how it should be."
With his eyes bent into crescents, Yang Liushi joked unabashedly, and then asked:
"Ms. sir, what should we do next?"
"Next..."
Turning his head to look at a bright lamp placed on the table, Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead in distress.
Obviously, the answer to this question is directly linked to his current level of trust in Chu Xianping.
And even though he had just "cooperated" with Chu Xianping once, he couldn't say that he had trusted the latter again.
At least not completely trusting.
"Just as usual."
After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian slowly stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Starting tomorrow morning, the Tengu army will continue to invade the enemy camp."
"Just change it to a small group of harassment, once every three hours. If Zhuang Zhiming and others show up, they will leave."
"Uncle Liang and Han Zhao will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the decisive battle will proceed as planned."
"No matter whether Chu Xianping is true or false, we cannot give up this opportunity just because of his one or two words."
"that's all."
"..."
When he finished his last sentence, Wei Changtian had already walked to the curtain.
He stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and there was a group of patrol soldiers passing by outside the tent. Countless monsters in the distance raised their heads and stamped their feet.
Chaotic sounds filled my ears, and a moon above my head was like a bow.
