I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 673 Playing hard to get

Almost an hour later, Chu Xianping saw Yan Huaiqing.

No one knows what the two said, but the expression on the latter's face when he left was exceptionally relaxed, and he should have gotten the result he wanted.

In this way, Chu Xianping suspected of betraying Wei Changtian.

It seems a little inappropriate to say betrayal, after all, he still does anything that harms Wei Changtian's interests.

But if he wasn't "following the plan", then such a move certainly wouldn't be considered very loyal.

As for why the Puppet Pill didn't attack

This is probably related to the "judgment" method of Puppet Pill.

Up to now, there are about 50 people who have taken the Puppet Pill, and only Ning Wenyu died of erysipelas attack.

At that time, he couldn't resist Ning Yongnian's "sweet words" and was going to confess Wei Changtian.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he died.

Judging from this result, Puppet Dan judges whether a person is a traitor or not should be based on whether he has actual "rebellion".

In other words, if the idea of ​​rebellion was purely motivated, then the erysipelas might not have occurred.

Of course, this is just speculation.

After all, even Wei Changtian himself didn't know the rules of the Puppet Pill's attack, let alone Chu Xianping.

So there is a high probability that the latter will not take this risk.

So, as I said before, there are only two possibilities for the current situation.

Either Chu Xianping never betrayed Wei Changtian at all, but just pretended to agree to Yan Huaiqing for other purposes.

Either he has escaped the control of Puppet Pill.

At the end of the hour, Liangzhou City.

When Yan Huaiqing had just left Chu Xianping's residence, Li Zimu had already returned to the small courtyard where she lived with Tang Chen.

Getting off the carriage, she walked towards the courtyard somewhat absent-mindedly, obviously still thinking about what Wei Changtian had just said to her.

It was also because of this that Li Zimu never noticed Tang Chen who was waiting for her in the front yard.

"Miss Lee"

Seeing Li Zimu who was only walking with his head down getting closer, Tang Chen finally couldn't help calling out.

The former suddenly raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses and asked in a low voice:

"Master Tang, why are you here? Are you waiting for me?"

"Eh, I just wandered around the courtyard casually. I never thought that I would run into a girl coming back."

Tang Chen hesitated a little, and asked casually, "Miss Li, have you ever been sober? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Thank you for your concern, son, I'm fine."

Li Zimu smiled and walked to Tang Chen's side, but kept a certain distance.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you son for taking care of me last night."

"I don't drink well, and it was the first time I drank so much yesterday. Who would have thought that I would accidentally get drunk."

"By the way, Mr. Tang, I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said last night, right?"

"."

The morning breeze blows through the ends of the hair, and the blush of the hangover still seems to remain on the cheeks.

Li Zimu's appearance was less playful than yesterday, but more elegant, and there was a bit of sadness in his brows, as if there was something bothering him.

And Tang Chen's mood now is also somewhat complicated.

On the one hand, when he heard Li Zimu say "yesterday was the first time I drank so much wine", he was agitated for no reason.

But on the other hand, he could clearly feel that Li Zimu's words and deeds were deliberately keeping a distance from him, as if the intimacy of last night had disappeared between the two of them.

"this."

After hesitating for a while, Tang Chen replied softly: "Miss Li, don't worry, I won't tell anyone what happened last night."

"So it sounds like I said something I shouldn't have said."

Li Zimu lowered his head: "Young Master Tang, these are all drunken nonsense, don't take it seriously."

"."

The heart seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer, and Tang Chen felt a little suffocated for a while.

He opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know what to say.

But Li Zimu didn't raise his head to look at him again, he just gave him a half-blessing with his hand.

"Young Master Tang, I'm still a little tired, I want to go back to the house and have a rest first."

"Excuse me."

"."

After saying the last two words, Li Zimu bypassed Tang Chen and walked towards the depths of the small courtyard, and his pace became faster and faster, as if he was escaping from something, and finally trotted back to his own room.

Tang Chen stared blankly at her back, and suddenly felt that Li Zimu's "abnormality" this morning should be related to him.

So what happened?

Where did Miss Li go this morning?

Why did she suddenly alienate herself on purpose?

This must not be Miss Li's original intention.

Or, she should have some unspeakable secrets

Tang Chen felt that Own's guess should be correct, but he was afraid that he was being sentimental, so he struggled for a long time and still didn't dare to catch up.

He silently walked back to his room, opened a military book on the table, and wanted to divert his attention by reading it.

But half an hour passed, but the pages of the book were still on the side where they were opened.

Obviously, Tang Chen didn't have any thoughts on reading at this time, his mind was full of Li Zimu's figure.

Then at a certain moment, he suddenly stood up with a "chuckle", pushed the door out immediately, and walked quickly in one direction.

"Wow~"

The opening and closing of the door brought a gust of wind, and finally turned the pages of the book, and the densely packed small characters on it were difficult to understand.

[The situation of trapped enemies, without fighting, damages strength and gains softness]

[If you force, you will fight back, if you move, you will lose momentum. Follow closely without being forced, exhaust your strength and weaken your fighting spirit; scatter and then capture, soldiers are bloodless, you need to have glory.]

"Miss Lee"

Soon, Tang Chen found Li Zimu who was sitting alone in a daze in a gazebo in the backyard.

They live in a small house, and there must be no things like fake mountains and lakes.

In addition, it is only early spring, and most of the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard have not yet sprouted, only a few clumps of winter jasmine in the corner are blooming with small yellow flowers, so this gazebo looks a bit lonely at first glance.

In addition to being lonely, Li Zimu sitting in the pavilion was even more pitiful in Tang Chen's eyes.

In the former's somewhat "panic" eyes, he walked quickly into the gazebo with a rare and firm tone.

"Miss Li, something is wrong after you came back from going out this morning."

"Did something happen?"

"Talk to me, maybe I can help you."

"."

"Young Master Tang, you"

Li Zimu looked at Tang Chen blankly, as if he wanted to say something.

But after a while, she lowered her head slightly, and said sullenly:

"Young Master Lao cares about it, but I don't"

"Miss Li, aren't we friends?"

Suddenly, Tang Chen interrupted seriously: "Since we are friends, then your business is my business."

"Even though I may not be able to help, at least I can help you think of ideas."

"No matter what, it's not a solution for you to hold back in your heart alone."

"Is not it?"

"."

His head was buried very low, his hands tightly clutching the corners of his clothes.

If you ignore Li Zimu's extremely calm expression, she looks really struggling now.

And after a while, when she raised her head to look at Tang Chen, her eyes, which were originally calm, turned reddish, as if there were still tears brewing in them.

"Master Soup"

"Do you know who I went to see this morning?"

ps: One update today, one update tomorrow. (I will really make it up, I made it up last time!)
