When 300,000 Ningshu reinforcements arrived at Fengyuan and the decisive battle was imminent, Lu Hongji and Chu Xianping had also arrived near the battlefield.
However, it is not difficult to judge from the conversation between the two that they are going to "part ways" at this moment.
This matter was raised by Lu Hongji.
Then it is obvious that he must have his own plan for this war, and he does not want Chu Xianping to participate in it.
Chu Xianping had no objection to this, as if he didn't care what Lu Hongji was going to do.
"Master Lu, if that's the case, I wish you success in this battle."
"But if you unfortunately lose, please don't forget the deal between you and me."
"Hahaha! Brother Xianping, don't worry! I will never break my promise!"
After laughing twice, Lu Hongji said happily: "If I really lose this battle, then I will wait for you at the entrance of Kuilong Hall. When you and I meet again, I will definitely give you the Elder's Token with both hands!"
"Okay, it's settled."
“It’s a deal!”
"..."
The two voices rang out and then dispersed, and the forest quickly returned to calm.
Taking the reins, Lu Hongji got on his horse and no longer rode in the carriage. Instead, he took the two remaining guards and rode straight to the Fengyuan battlefield two hundred miles away.
Chu Xianping stood alone, silently watching the dust in the distance move from near to far, then disappear.
There was always a faint smile on his face, as if he had anticipated all this.
At the beginning of Xu Shi, there were still two hours before the decisive battle.
...
...
Fengyuan, Xinfeng Imperial Palace.
After meeting Liang Zhen and Han Zhao, Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui returned to the palace.
After all, they had nothing to do while staying in the army, so they even came back to have dinner.
Of course, Xu Suisui has no appetite.
However, Wei Changtian enjoyed the food very well and was even in the mood to make fun of Li Zimu and Tang Chen during the dinner.
After finishing dinner like this, half the promised two hours had passed, and the sky outside the house had completely darkened.
After leaving the dining hall, I went to a private room to continue drinking tea.
During the whole process, Wei Changtian behaved very calmly, without looking anxious.
Xu Suisui could hold it in at first and not ask, but as time passed, she finally couldn't help but remind her at a certain moment:
"Um...it's almost midnight, why don't you leave?"
"Not in a hurry."
After taking a sip of tea, Wei Changtian leaned back on his chair and said comfortably, "I'll leave soon after Han Zhao sends troops."
"oh......"
Xu Suisui responded softly, with a worried look on his face.
She always felt that Wei Changtian should go and prepare earlier, but she didn't dare to order the latter, so she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
This is like when you and your girlfriend are about to go out to do errands. It's almost time, but the latter is still putting on her makeup in a leisurely manner. It's exactly the same feeling that you want to rush but don't dare to.
"..."
Sometimes he looked at the copper drain in the corner, and sometimes he looked at Wei Changtian who was concentrating with his eyes closed. Xu Suisui's face was full of anxiety and helplessness, but he never spoke again.
The quiet room fell into a strange silence, until I don't know how long it took, Wei Changtian suddenly closed his eyes and said:
"By the way, all the third-level masters will go to the front line later, and you don't have any system points now, so it's best not to run around."
"Or just take Li Zimu and find a place to hide."
"Take Tang Chen and Shen Ran with you. They won't be of much use on the front line anyway. If something happens to you here, they can still stand in your way."
"Also, if something more critical happens and I can't come back..."
"I suggest you don't be soft-hearted and immediately choose one of Shen Ran and Tang Chen to kill."
"This at least changes the plot."
"You know what I mean?"
"..."
The tone is calm and the voice is neither loud nor soft.
Wei Changtian did not open his eyes when he spoke, but Xu Suisui's eyes grew wider and wider.
She is not a warrior, so she will definitely not go to the front line to cause trouble later.
Therefore, Wei Changtian asked her to find a place to hide, so that the enemy would not take advantage of the empty defense in the palace to capture the thief and capture the king first.
At this point, Xu Suisui can understand.
But these last few words...
"No, nothing will happen..."
Feeling a chill running down her spine, she muttered to comfort herself: "The palace is so big, Miss Li and I will hide somewhere unknown to anyone. Who can find us..."
"Is it?"
Wei Changtian still had his eyes closed: "Then where are you going to hide?"
"Well... there is a darkroom under my bedroom, and I will hide there."
"good."
At this time, Wei Changtian finally opened his eyes.
He looked directly at Xu Suisui and said coldly: "Now, don't I know your hiding place?"
"..."
His body trembled suddenly, Xu Suisui was startled by Wei Changtian's tone, but he also understood what the latter meant.
"I, I understand."
Biting her lip, she whispered: "I'll just listen to you..."
"Well, it never hurts to be careful."
On the other side, Wei Changtian saw that she understood, and his tone returned to normal.
He shook out a piece of jade from his sleeve and threw it into Xu Suisui's arms.
"Take this. If something happens, burn the jade and I will find a way to save you."
"But if I'm too late...I just told you the solution."
"I know you may not be able to do it, and I can't force you to kill someone."
"But anyway, if you don't kill them two by then, you will be the one who dies."
"Just think it over yourself."
"..."
He glanced at the copper leak of the timer, grabbed the star scabbard on the table, and stood up slowly.
Wei Changtian stretched and took one last look at Xu Suisui, who was pale.
"Okay, it's all just assumptions. There's a high probability that it won't reach that point. There's no need to look like death."
"It's almost time, I'm leaving."
"Squeak~"
The door opened, and after Wei Changtian finished speaking, he pushed the door open and walked out without any ink.
It was only then that Xu Suisui suddenly came back to his senses and hurried to the door and shouted:
"Be careful, pay attention to safety!!"
"..."
be safe.
Such a warning is undoubtedly full of the flavor of the past life, and it also means that Xu Suisui is really thinking about Wei Changtian's safety.
However, the latter did not respond to her words. He just waved his hand back casually and then slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor under the moonlight.
Standing there blankly, Xu Suisui looked back after a long while and carefully took the Zimuyu that Wei Changtian had left to her into her arms.
At the same time, Wei Changtian on the other side happened to stop in front of Qin Zhengqiu and the six Buddhist monks.
Except for Han Zhao and Yang Liushi who are now outside the city, all the second-grade masters in Xinfeng are here.
Eight second-grade people, even though there is no internal energy fluctuation around them, the air in this small area still seems to be solidified, and it is so heavy and oppressive that it is suffocating.
The crescent moon was in the sky, and everyone said nothing, just looking at Wei Changtian silently.
Under the gaze of the seven people, the latter's expression gradually changed from relaxed to serious.
"Grandpa, distinguished monks..."
Looking around, Wei Changtian took a breath and nodded calmly.
