I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 686 Fangcao is ruthless, even outside the setting sun
A quarter of an hour later.

Escorted by dozens of riders, a carriage galloped across the snow-capped mountains on both sides, and the horseshoes lifted up patches of snow on the ground.

After discovering the teleportation formation, Liang Zhen ordered the official road to be extended to the mountain temple, so now the carriage can go straight to Liangzhou City.

"Son."

Sitting on the bumpy carriage, Chu Xianping asked seriously: "What happened these few days? Who is Miss Li waiting for?"

"Oh, this thing."

Wei Changtian nodded, not hiding anything.

Anyway, he couldn't hide this matter, so he briefly talked about Li Zimu's attempt to "attack" Tang Chen.

Of course, he didn't know all about the situation, at least he didn't ask what happened in the few days after Tang Chen looked for him.

But thinking about it, it's just the "flirtatious" set.

"...that's pretty much it."

"You should have met Tang Chen in Zishan Palace, did you notice the handkerchief in his hand?"

"I saw it, but I didn't see the words embroidered on it clearly."

Chu Xianping nodded: "No wonder I see Tang Chen's expression is a bit weird, so there is such a thing in it."

"No way."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "I thought Tang Chen would definitely stay, but I didn't expect him to be decisive enough to leave without saying a word."

"Well, Miss Li is waiting for Tang Chen now?" Chu Xianping asked suddenly.

"Definitely."

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "After working so hard for a long time, but in the end I still can't succeed, maybe she won't give up."

"However, it's not like she got nothing. At least Tang Chen has already revealed how to find out the spy in the army."

"Really? That's good."

Chu Xianping responded, but his expression was clearly absent-minded.

"Brother Chu, aren't you jealous?"

Wei Changtian glanced at him, laughed and joked, "Okay, anyway, Tang Chen is gone too, and no one will argue with you in the future."

"Besides, Li Zimu is just playing tricks on Tang Chen. It's not like you don't know about it."

"By the way, Tang Chen even tested it with a mind reading technique, saying that Li Zimu's affection for you can't be truer."

"Well, should you rest assured now?"

"Cough, son, I, I didn't"

Chu Xianping blushed and opened his mouth to make some excuses.

However, he only spoke half a sentence before being interrupted by Wei Changtian pretending to be surprised:

"Brother Chu, you don't like Li Zimu, do you?!"

"My"

Chu Xianping was even more embarrassed immediately, he hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

"Hahahaha!"

"Brother Chu, you can't understand what you look like now."

Seeing this, Wei Changtian finally stopped teasing him, smiled and waved his hands, and changed the subject.

"By the way, you haven't encountered anything special in Dajue these few days, have you?"

"There is one thing."

Hearing this, Chu Xianping performed a wave of "face changing" in an instant, and became extremely serious for a while.

He leaned forward slightly, and replied in a serious tone:

"Young master, Yan Huaiqing sent someone to look for me, and wanted me to help them in the dark, and even offered me a lot of money."

"."

Soon, Chu Xianping recounted his experience in Dajue, especially the deal he made with Yan Huaiqing.

And Wei Changtian snorted coldly after listening, and said with disdain:
"Hmph, I knew that Yan Huaiqing would definitely make some small moves."

"He is afraid of me, so he wants to find a way to be on guard."

"Forget it, Dajue's army has just withdrawn from Tianshan Mountain, as long as he doesn't mess up too much, let him go."

"As for what he promised you, it's a good thing to help us build another force with money and people."

"One day I will let him understand what it means to lose his wife and lose his army"

"."

Obviously, Wei Changtian is very supportive of Chu Xianping's decision to "pretend to betray".

After all, in this way, not only can he prostitute a certain power for nothing, but he can also use Chu Xianping to send some false information to Dajue, so as to achieve some of his goals.

Of course, these things are a bit far away, at least not something that should be considered now.

So after a few chats, the two talked about the recent situation in Liangzhou and the situation in Xinfeng.
The sound of small conversations echoed in the carriage, while outside the carriage was the vast snow-capped mountains soaked in the afterglow of the setting sun.

At this time, the carriage had driven far away from the mountain temple and reached the outskirts of the Tianshan mountain system.

There are a few lonely wooden houses ahead, and further ahead is the blurred Liangzhou City.

Snow mountain, carriage, wooden house, city.
In the slanting light of the setting sun, all the scenes are clearly separated into high and low levels, but they are also dimly connected continuously, turning into a bright red mass.

At nightfall, Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping returned to Liangzhou City.

Liang Qin and Yang Liushi had already prepared a dinner party to welcome Chu Xianping, and they also invited Liang Zhen, Han Zhao, Du Chang, and the main generals of the three armies and senior officials of Liangzhou City. .

In fact, tonight is not so much to clean up for Chu Xianping, but rather to take this opportunity to celebrate the successful end of the war in Liangzhou.

A major battle was avoided.

Liangzhou and Daning were preserved.

The four-nation alliance that destroyed the dry season.

It also retained the remaining [-] combat power in Daning and Dashu.

Such a result is undoubtedly worth celebrating.

What's more, the war indemnity promised by Yan Huaiqing will soon be sent through the teleportation array one after another, which is definitely a just right "windfall" for Ning and Shu who have just recovered from the civil strife.

All strategic goals were "exceeded" without a single soldier.

Presumably, neither Wei Changtian nor Liang Zhen and the others expected such a result when they set off from Shuzhou.

Even Ning Wenjun and Ning Yuke, who were far away in the capitals of the two countries, were overjoyed. They had already written a letter of Wanmin's edict in their own hand this morning, spreading such great news throughout the world.

So if there is no accident, tonight should be regarded as a "celestial celebration".

"Hahaha!"

"Young Master Chu, Mr. Han would like to offer you a toast! If it weren't for you, Liangzhou City would have been completely destroyed by now."

"Chang Tian, ​​come here! Let's have a drink with uncle and nephew! I've made up my mind! From now on, we will call each other our own! I will call you nephew, and you will call me father."

"General Du! The might of the Tiangou army is unprecedented! The battle of Xianchi will definitely be recorded in the annals of history."

"It's rare to have such a good time! Drink and drink"

"."

The lights are like daylight, and the wine and meat are like forests.

Although most of the people present today are warriors, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to get drunk.

But we couldn't hold back everyone's high spirits tonight, and after drinking a lot of wine, they all became drunk.

Looking around the whole room, Liang Qin and Yang Liushi were the only two who didn't drink much.

And they are the only ones who still remember Li Zimu.

"Sister Liu Shi, why didn't Miss Li come?"

In the noisy environment, Liang Qin leaned into Yang Liushi's ear and asked loudly, "Didn't she go to the mountain temple with Xianggong?"

"I don't know, I'll ask!"

Yang Liushi also replied loudly, and then took the teapot from a maid, taking advantage of the time when Wei Changtian and Liang Zhen had just finished drinking, walked over and poured the former a cup of tea.

"Sir, let's have some tea"

"Okay, if you think it's noisy, go back to the room with Qin'er first!"

Wei Changtian took the teacup with a smile, and said loudly, "Especially Qin'er, who is pregnant and can't drink, so it will always be boring to be here!"

"Well, the concubine knows."

In front of outsiders, Yang Liushi still knows etiquette very well, and has always called herself a "concubine".

She nodded first, then bent down and asked:
"By the way, Miss Li? Why didn't I see her?"

"Oh, she's still at the Mountain Temple!"

"Huh? What are you doing at the Mountain Temple? Why didn't you come back with you?"

"Hey, it's not for waiting."

"Young Master Wei! I, I would like to offer you a toast!"

Suddenly, a voice reeking of alcohol interrupted Wei Changtian's words. The speaker was an old man with a flushed complexion who obviously drank too much.

Wei Changtian recognized him as the State Shepherd of Liangzhou. Since he had never practiced, he was supposed to be drunk at this moment, so he didn't consider the timing of the toast.

"Hahaha! Master Dong! It should be the kid who respects you!"

Picking up the wine glass with a smile, Wei Changtian instantly forgot about Li Zimu, got up and had a drink with the old man.

On the other hand, Yang Liushi smiled helplessly, and then walked back to sit next to Liang Qin.

"Sister Liu Shi, did you find out?"

"No, Xianggong just said that Miss Li is still in the mountain temple."

"Huh? What is she doing there?"

"Who knows, it should be doing something."

"Oh"

"."

With the end of the conversation between Yang Liushi and Liang Qin, no one in the room cared about Li Zimu anymore, and was completely immersed in a lively and festive atmosphere.

Li Zimu himself, who was temporarily forgotten by everyone, was sitting alone on a small wooden chair, staring at the black mist not far away in a daze.

From noon to late at night, she had been waiting by the teleportation array for four hours, but she still didn't get anything.

Could it be that Tang Chen really won't come back?

After pinching his fingers, Li Zimu felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

There is unwillingness and pain, and she herself doesn't know which of the two is more.

Therefore, she didn't know whether she was waiting here because she was "unwilling to accept the failure of the strategy", or because of another reason.

But now it seems that because of what is no longer important.

Anyway
Suddenly, Li Zimu's eyes froze, and he stood up abruptly.

She watched in a daze as the black mist in front of her began to ripple, and then
"Soup, Mr. Soup"

Covering his mouth suddenly, Li Zimu's voice was choked up, and tears welled up in an instant.

Bean-sized teardrops ran across his cheeks, flowed through his fingers, and the last drop fell to the ground.

This scene is undoubtedly very touching, but no one knows whether the tears are real or not.

Oh no.

At least in the eyes of Tang Chen who has gone and returned, it really can't be true anymore.
