I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 716 Let him go

The galaxy is vast and endless, and the bright moon smokes the cold sand.

The hazy figure is coated with jade-white moonlight, blurred and desolate.

Standing at the head of Huailing City, Wei Changtian, who was in the darkness, looked at the lights of thousands of houses below him. The contrast between light and dark was sharp, just like a painting with only two colors.

Today, no matter how confused and puzzled he is, no matter how many questions he still hasn't figured out, the truth has come to light.

Chu Xianping, it's really the opposite
To be honest, Wei Changtian actually expected such a result long ago, and made preparations in advance.

But at this moment, his mood is still extremely complicated.

"."

"Son."

Accompanied by the sound of slight footsteps, Li Zimu climbed up the tower, walked to Wei Changtian and shook his head.

"Five hundred people are dead. He should have been vigilant and made arrangements in advance."

"Is it?"

With a wry smile, Wei Changtian didn't show any surprise.

After all, this is Chu Xianping, how could he be caught by him so easily.

"Where is Shuzhou City? Can Song Li be caught?"

"Caught it."

Li Zimu quickly replied: "There are also several sub-rudder masters in the Freemasonry, and they are all imprisoned in the sky prison."

"Well, don't be locked in jail after the trial."

Wei Changtian nodded slightly: "Find a few houses and put these people under house arrest for the time being."

"Yes."

Li Zimu nodded lightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Young master, Chu Xianping, what should we do next?"

"Ugh"

Without answering immediately, Wei Changtian just sighed heavily and looked at the vast lights beneath his feet.

After a while, he asked silently, "Can I still contact him now?"

"I can't."

Li Zimu took out a piece of mother-of-pearl jade from his sleeve, and there was an obvious crack on the jade surface.

This situation is very common and is caused by the damage of the paired Zimu jade.

"Young master, it's not just me, the Freemasonry is the same."

"Chu Xianping should have destroyed all the child-mother jades on his body."

"Well, I see."

Wei Changtian looked back with a wry smile: "Then let him go."

"Anyway, if he wants to escape, we shouldn't be able to find him."

"The most important thing now is the matter of the Freemasonry. In addition, there are other things such as the transmission of encrypted letters. Hurry up and deal with them."

"Minimize the loss first, as for the others."

"Let's talk about it later."

"."

go with him.

Obviously, Wei Changtian's attitude is not "tolerant", but "helpless".

With Chu Xianping's ability, it is undoubtedly very easy to escape Xuan Jingsi's pursuit.

And now it seems that he should have quietly managed a not weak force, otherwise it would be impossible to kill all the five hundred people in Xuanjingsi.

Where this power comes from, Wei Changtian is still unclear.

Freemasonry, Daqian Dahui, Kuilong, and even Xu Suisui are all possible.

But even though they don't know how they got here, judging from their strength in killing the [-] members of the Xuanjing Division without making much noise, there must be many masters of the third rank among them.

Kuilong?
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian did not guess further.

Or it doesn't make much sense to think about it now.

As I said just now, since Chu Xianping has rebelled, the most urgent task is not to settle the score with him, but to quickly recover the loss.

Thinking about it from this angle, Chu Xianping didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

The operations in all states went smoothly tonight, and the entire Freemasonry did not show any resistance.

And he didn't hide Song Li, and even left Chixiao Sword behind.

Is it out of guilt?Feel sorry for yourself?

Wei Changtian didn't know, but it should be like this.

But since you feel guilty, why do you want to fight back?
"okay."

Not knowing whether he was talking to Li Zimu or to himself, Wei Changtian shook his head and didn't continue to think about it.

"Order Xuan Jingsi to bring Chixiao Sword over, and tell my father to trouble him to find the remaining three swords."

After the last order, Wei Changtian turned around and faced the outside of Huailing City, and waved his hands.

"That's all for tonight."

"We'll talk about other things tomorrow."

"."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Looking at the lonely figure in front of him, Li Zimu spoke calmly, but felt a little pain in his heart.

She is suffering from her own "incompetence".

Why didn't I notice Chu Xianping's strangeness?
Why did I still have a good impression of him?

At this moment, Li Zimu even hated Chu Xianping a little.

She hated Chu Xianping for betraying Wei Changtian.

And this is even more unacceptable to Li Zimu than betraying himself.

"Da da da"

After taking a few steps silently, he turned his head and looked at Wei Changtian who was still standing there.

Li Zimu looked at it for a long time with complicated expressions, but in the end he didn't say anything, just clenched his fists, turned around and walked down the city wall step by step.

"Miss Li!"

Tang Chen, who had been waiting under the city wall, saw her come down, and immediately walked up to him, and asked with a worried face, "Young master, is he alright?"

Tang Chen was also there when he was negotiating with those three envoys, so he naturally knew about Chu Xianping's collusion with Ganhui Erguo.

Although he has only been with Wei Changtian for less than a month, and the motive is entirely Li Zimu.

But now the concern in these words is very sincere.

"Young Master Tang, you are alright."

Looking at Tang Chen who was frowning tightly, Li Zimu said softly: "It's just that you are also aware of the relationship between Young Master and Chu Xianping before, and I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to accept this kind of thing for a while."

"I want to do something for my son, but I don't know how to do it."

"Hey, I just hope that in the future, I can share more worries for the young master."

Sighing, Li Zimu looked a little lonely.

Her last sentence seemed to be talking about herself, but in fact it also vaguely included Tang Chen.

But the latter didn't notice this, just nodded and asked hesitantly:

"Miss Li, how are you?"

"."

The first sentence asked about Wei Changtian's situation, and the second sentence asked about Li Zimu's situation.

Although the sentence structure is the same, the meanings of Tang Chen's two questions are not the same.

After all, Chu Xianping betrayed Wei Changtian, not Li Zimu.

Moreover, Tang Chen didn't know that Li Zimu had already given up on Chu Xianping, and thought that she must be struggling in extreme pain, so he asked such a sentence.

As for how Li Zimu responded
"Young Master Tang, three days ago, the Young Master called me over to say something, do you remember this?"

"."

Tang Chen was taken aback, how could he not remember this.

At that time, after Li Zimu went to find Wei Changtian, he "changed his temperament", and even drove him away indifferently, as if he had changed himself.

In the past two days, both of them intentionally did not mention what happened that night, but it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

So now that Tang Chen heard Li Zimu mention it again, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

But he is not a dull person after all, after a brief moment of stupefaction, he quickly understood something, raised his head suddenly and asked:

"Miss Li, could it be that you already..."

"Yes, that day I already knew that Chu Xianping might have betrayed the young master."

Li Zimu nodded, with a guilty tone: "Mr. Tang, I was very upset that night, so I treat you."

"sorry."

"No, it's okay."

Looking at Li Zimu with drooping eyes, Tang Chen, who finally knew the whole story, would blame her, so he waved his hands again and again and said:
"Miss Li, I understand that this matter must be equally difficult for you to accept."

"But don't worry, I, I will always be with you"

I will always stay with you.

It was the first time Tang Chen said such words, he didn't dare to look at Li Zimu, and he was even more afraid of getting a negative answer.

But after a moment of silence, Li Zimu did not directly respond to this sentence.

She just took half a step forward lightly, standing very close to Tang Chen, said in a soft but serious voice:
"Young Master Tang, look at me."

"what?"

Tang Chen was stunned, and subconsciously raised his head to Li Zimu.

Their eyes met under the moonlight, and he could even smell the faint fragrance of the latter's hair.

For a moment, Tang Chen was a little overwhelmed, and he hesitated to say something.

But before he could speak, Li Zimu's voice wafted into his ears through the night wind.

"Young Master Tang, answer me seriously."

"Will you marry me?"
