I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Two quarters of an hour later.

Go back to the Heavenly Dog camp, thirty miles west of the army company camp.

In less than half an hour, the first invasion after the Heavenly Dog army arrived in Fengyuan ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

Although it is roughly estimated that at least 10,000 enemies were killed in this battle, to be honest, it did not achieve the expected goal.

There is no doubt that this has something to do with Wei Changtian's sudden order to withdraw troops.

"Sir, the situation of the battle is no different just now, why did we withdraw?"

In the tent that was just set up, Yang Liushi finally asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.

And since there were only the two of them in the tent at this time, Wei Changtian didn't hide anything, and soon told her the whole story.

After listening to it, Yang Liushi was inevitably stunned, and after a long while, he said thoughtfully:

"So, Chu Xianping has been secretly helping us all along?"

"Well, it seems so."

Wei Changtian nodded with serious eyes: "At first he left the Scarlet Heaven Sword behind when he left, and then he reminded you to pay attention to Du Chang, and now he even warns me to beware of Lu Hongji's backhands."

"From the results, it can be seen that he is indeed helping us, but he doesn't know what his real purpose is."

"Maybe he didn't fight back at all from the beginning?"

Yang Liushi frowned and asked: "Before, I felt that everything was weird, but if Chu Xianping really acted in a fake and rebellious drama, then everything can be explained."

"Fake betrayal. Well, it's not that I haven't thought about it that way."

Sighing slightly, Wei Changtian shook his head and said, "But don't forget the other things he did."

"At first, I asked Yan Huaiqing to test him out, but he lied."

"Afterwards, all the five hundred officers of the Xuanjing Division in Qingzhou died in his hands, and none of them survived."

"Now, Zhuang Zhiming and the others are here on his orders."

"And that message."

"Everyone has his own ambition. Do you think it is necessary for him to leave me such a sentence if he is a fake?"

"This"

Lowering her head, Yang Liushi didn't speak immediately, she could see that she was conflicted.

On the one hand, Chu Xianping did help them a lot after the "rebellion". At least if it wasn't for the former, the Heavenly Dog army might have been buried in Luoxing Valley by Du Chang.

But on the other hand, Wei Changtian was right.

If it was just a false rebellion, why did Chu Xianping kill so many people from the Xuanjing Division? And why should Zhuang Zhiming come to help Lu Hongji stabilize the morale of the army?

Yes, he did let Zhuang Zhiming keep his hand.

But looking at it from another angle, the sneak attack just now did "scare" the Heavenly Dog army back

"Perhaps...he just doesn't want Lu Hongji to notice?"

After thinking for a while, Yang Liushi whispered her own thoughts: "Chu Xianping Realm is lowly, if it is a fake traitor, once the slightest trace is exposed, it may be in vain."

"Miss Li once said that if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself."

"Maybe Chu Xianping can only protect himself by doing this?"

"."

Xiumei frowned slightly, her voice was not loud, it was mixed with the noise outside the tent.

The meaning of Yang Liushi's words is very simple. She thinks that Chu Xianping is trying to make the play more realistic, so he "follows the plan" and lied to Wei Changtian even though he knew that Yan Huaiqing intended to test him.

Including the killing of the five hundred officials of the Xuanjing Division afterwards, it was only for the world to see.

And the reason why he did this is undoubtedly to let everyone think that he is really rebellious, and then make Lu Hongji completely believe in him.

Obviously, after experiencing what happened in the past few days, Yang Liushi has gradually begun to think that Chu Xianping did not really betray.

But Wei Changtian shook his head again, thinking differently from her.

"Your statement still doesn't make sense."

"I can understand that he lied to others, but is it necessary for him to lie to me?"

"Okay, even if he wants to get close to Lu Hongji smoothly, he doesn't hesitate to include me in the calculation."

"But now? If he is a fake traitor, he should tell me the truth at this critical moment, right?"

"Otherwise, if I did something to disrupt his plan, or he did something to disrupt my plan, wouldn't it be worth the candle in the end?"

"So in my opinion, whether he helped me or Lu Hongji, it seems to be true, but it is actually false."

"He has done so much, in the end, he is just helping himself."

"."

He didn't think Chu Xianping was a fake traitor, and believed that the former did all this for a temporarily unknown purpose.

This is what Wei Changtian wanted to express.

but

"Sir, then why do you still want the Heavenly Dog army to withdraw?"

Suddenly, Yang Liushi asked a question softly, which also caused Wei Changtian's expression to undergo a subtle change.

There was a brief silence in the tent, until Yang Liushi paused, looked at him and continued:

"Since Xianggong believes that Chu Xianping is not a fake traitor, why do you want to help him play this scene?"

"Also, Xianggong just said that Chu Xianping hasn't told you the truth until now."

"But according to my family, Chu Xianping has actually said it twice."

With a serious tone, Yang Liushi's voice clearly echoed in Wei Changtian's ears.

Wei Changtian naturally understood what the "twice" she referred to.

One time it was Wang Kang who said, "After five days, the truth will come out."

Once, Zhuang Zhiming said, "I will definitely give you the desired result within five days."

These two sentences can indeed be understood as Chu Xianping's "showing loyalty", and judging from Wei Changtian's action of ordering the Heavenly Dog army to retreat, he doesn't seem to distrust the former as much as he said.

"Okay, you've seen it all"

Cursing his lips, Wei Changtian glanced at Yang Liushi helplessly: "Liu Shi, I found that after taking the Eclipse Bead, not only did your morals improve, but your mind became much more refined, almost like Li Zimu."

"My family is a Fox Demon, as it should be."

Eyes bent into crescents, Yang Liushi joked unabashedly, and then asked:

"Sir, what shall we do next?"

"Next"

Turning his head to look at a bright lamp placed on the table, Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead in distress.

Obviously, the answer to this question is directly linked to his current level of trust in Chu Xianping.

And although he just "cooperated" with Chu Xianping once, it can't be said that he has believed in the latter again.

At least not completely trust.

"As usual."

After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice:

"From tomorrow morning, the Heavenly Dog army will continue to harass the enemy camp."

"Just change it to a small group of harassment, once every three hours, if Zhuang Zhiming and others show up, they will withdraw."

"Uncle Liang and Han Zhao will arrive in the next day, and the decisive battle will proceed as originally planned."

"Regardless of whether Chu Xianping is true or false, we cannot give up this opportunity just because of one or two words from him."

"that's it."

"."

After finishing the last sentence, Wei Changtian had already walked to the edge of the curtain.

He stretched out his hand to open the curtain, just outside the tent a group of patrolling soldiers passed by, and countless Demonic Beasts raised their heads and stamped their feet in the distance.

Chaotic voices filled my ears, and the moon above my head was like a bow.
