I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 703: Going and Coming

"My lord, at Shenshi yesterday, the Qianhui army began to attack the city in an all-round way."

After a stick of incense, when Wei Changtian met Chu Xianping, this was the first sentence the latter said to him.

"From Shenshi to this morning, in just eight hours, they have rushed to the Fengyuan city wall several times."

This is the second sentence.

"According to the current situation, Fengyuan City will be destroyed within ten days."

This is the third sentence.

"My lord, we have to do something."

This is the fourth sentence.

In the first four sentences after the meeting, Chu Xianping talked about how critical the situation in Xinfeng was.

If Wei Changtian didn't know what he said to Yan Huaiqing, then maybe he wouldn't doubt it at this time.

After all, these things must be true, and Chu Xianping just reported it with a little "personal subjective emotion".

But now?

"Brother Chu, don't worry, I have a good idea of ​​the new war."

Smiling, Wei Changtian motioned for Chu Xianping to sit down first, while he turned around and went to the desk to fetch a letter.

In the morning when the sun came through the window, he put the letter in front of Chu Xianping and said with a smile:

"I was thinking of looking for you, but you happened to come."

"Just right, I have another important thing to tell you."

"another thing?"

Chu Xianping glanced at the envelope on the table, and said seriously, "Young master, please tell me."

"Well, it's also very important."

Wei Changtian nodded, first emphasized the importance, and then briefly talked about "seeking the sword".

".These four swords are of great use to me, so I can't drag it on any longer."

"Brother Chu, after thinking about it last night, I felt that the only way I can feel relieved is to send you there."

"Of course, I know that the war is imminent, and you must be worried about the war here."

"However, I have already planned to reinforce Xinfeng, and with the help of Li Zimu and Du Chang, I think there will be no surprises in this battle."

"So you can go and find these four swords with peace of mind first."

"."

Under Chu Xianping's increasingly surprised eyes, Wei Changtian finished speaking calmly, without any hesitation because of the former's reaction.

He didn't even ask Chu Xianping "whether or not" at the end. No matter how calm his tone was, he was undoubtedly giving an order directly.

As for Chu Xianping's reaction to this

"My lord, it should be enough to leave this matter to the Xuanjing Division and the Freemasons."

Obviously, even though Wei Changtian said that finding the swords was equally important, Chu Xianping didn't want to find the four swords.

But he didn't directly refuse, but tried to persuade Wei Changtian to hand over this errand to someone else.

But how could Wei Changtian, who had already made up his mind, do what he wanted.

"Brother Chu, I just said that I don't feel relieved to leave this matter to others."

His expression remained unchanged, and he even picked up the teapot and poured Chu Xianping a cup of tea.

Seeing the clear tea pouring from the spout into the cup, Wei Changtian said calmly:

"Just take a trip, anyway, if you hurry up, you will be back in two or three months at most."

"Oh, by the way, this letter contains the information about the four swords. It is clearly written where and in whose hands they are now."

Pushing the envelope forward, the meaning of Wei Changtian's action could not be more obvious.

But Chu Xianping pressed the envelope in a daze, but did not pick it up.

He looked up at Wei Changtian, as if he had already guessed something, and his tone became a little difficult.

"My lord, it's a time of war, and there's a lot of information coming and going. I'm afraid the Tianji Institute."

"It's easier."

Before Chu Xianping finished speaking, Wei Changtian interrupted with a smile:

"Leave Tianji Academy to Zhang San for the time being."

"."

Hand over the Tianji Institute to Zhang San.

Although Wei Changtian said "for the time being", whether this right will be returned to Chu Xianping in the future, both of them may be very clear in their hearts.

"Brother Chu, what's the matter?"

Looking at Chu Xianping who bowed his head silently, Wei Changtian smiled.

"You don't have to worry that Zhang San is not qualified for this position. It's not like you don't know that he has a photographic memory."

"Or do you have other concerns?"

"It's okay, if you have any concerns, you can tell them together, and we will discuss how to solve it."

"."

"there is none left."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xianping answered a little slowly.

He didn't find any reason to turn down the task of "seeking the sword", nor did he say anything else.

Reaching out to pick up the envelope, he stood up and cupped his cupped hands at Wei Changtian.

"My lord, if that's the case, then I'll go and talk to Zhang San about the various matters of the Tianji Academy, and then I'll pack up and start looking for the sword immediately."

"Well, let's go."

"yes."

"."

A "go", a "yes".

As the door opened and closed, the conversation between the two ended.

And this whole process can be said to be too simple.

It seemed that Wei Changtian never intended to deliberately conceal his doubts about Chu Xianping, but directly kicked Chu Xianping out of the Xinfeng War in the most straightforward way, and even took away his power in charge of Chu Xianping.

Yes.

Wei Changtian has only two goals today.

One is to exclude Chu Xianping from the Battle of Xinfeng.

The second is to take the most critical intelligence center back into his own hands.

As for why he didn't choose to use a more tactful, or more covert method to achieve these two goals, but was so straightforward

Because he wanted to give Chu Xianping another chance.

In the conversation just now, Chu Xianping could definitely hear something was wrong.

To put it bluntly, Chu Xianping must have guessed that he was wary of him.

In this case, if Chu Xianping chooses to tell the truth, then Wei Changtian may reconsider his next move.

But unfortunately, Chu Xianping didn't say anything.

"."

Looking at the closed door, Wei Changtian shook his head with a complicated expression.

At the same moment, Chu Xianping, who had already reached the end of the corridor outside the house, also slowly stopped.

For safety reasons, Wei Changtian's guest room is on the second floor of the inn, so he has to walk up a flight of stairs.

"Upstairs" when coming, "downstairs" when leaving.

At this moment, these two ordinary movements had some other meanings in Chu Xianping's eyes.

Looking back at the door, there seemed to be many emotions in his eyes.

Unwilling, doubt, struggle, lonely.

Judging from his eyes alone, even if Li Zimu or Tang Chen came, it was absolutely impossible to judge whether he was an enemy or a friend.

Even Chu Xianping himself didn't seem to be very clear about this matter.

"Ugh"

Sighing slightly, he looked away, walked slowly down the stairs, and walked out of the inn.

"Peach Blossom Cake ~ Peach Blossom Cake ~ delicious and inexpensive!"

"Scallion oil pancakes! Wide and thin fresh noodles! Meat porridge and vegetable porridge! Guest officers, come in and try it!"

"Excuse me, excuse me! Don't bump into the girl!"

"Wow!! I don't want to go to school!!"

"."

In the early morning, the streets were crowded with people, and Chu Xianping's figure seemed a little lonely in the crowded crowd.

When he reached the corner of the street, a hurried woman in a white dress passed him by.

Chu Xianping didn't care about this person, but the woman turned her head to look at him, as if she felt that this well-dressed young man was a little strange.

But soon, the woman shook her head and put the matter behind her.

"call"

Taking a deep breath, the woman in the white dress looked up at the inn not far away with all the windows closed, and stood there for a long time, hesitating.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and walked towards the inn.
