So where did the few Kuilong people who belonged to Lu Hongji who had practiced the moon-raising sword go?
Did you follow Chu Xianping?Or run away?
if run away
"Young Master Wei."
A moderate voice suddenly sounded, and just when Wei Changtian's thoughts jumped to nowhere, a Kuilong man had already come close, clasped his fists at him and said:
"Master Chu has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."
"Ah."
Glancing at the man, Wei Changtian didn't say anything, and followed him to the small door under the red wall.
Li Zimu followed behind, the corners of her skirt swaying slightly with her steps.
Her eyes were complicated, her breathing was rapid, and she was obviously absent-minded.
Even when she was not far from the small gate, she stumbled over the stone steps without noticing, and almost fell down.
"ah!"
With a subconscious cry, he hurriedly stabilized his body.
Li Zimu breathed a sigh of relief, but when he raised his head again, he was taken aback for a moment.
Because Wei Changtian had stopped at some point, and was looking at her expressionlessly.
"Gong, son, servant"
"If you can't let it go like this, then you can go back."
Without listening to Li Zimu's explanation, Wei Changtian interrupted directly and coldly: "You don't have to make things difficult for yourself."
"..."
Opening his mouth, Li Zimu naturally understood what Wei Changtian meant.
She pinched her fingers and struggled for a moment, then lowered her head and whispered:
"The servant realizes his mistake."
"Please rest assured, my lord, this servant will never be like that again."
"...better."
Glancing at Li Zimu, Wei Changtian stopped looking at her, turned around and continued walking forward.
The former bit his lip lightly and stood there for a few breaths, as if he was adjusting his emotions.
The moon is clear and the stars are sparse, and the Milky Way is in sight.
The tree shadows sway in the distance, and the night wind blows, making the body cool.
In this evening wind, Li Zimu's eyes finally became calm.
After entering the small gate and walking along the clean bluestone road for less than a stick of incense, Wei Changtian and Li Zimu saw a small lake.
The willow branches by the water are quiet, and the bright moon hides under the willows.
As one of the countless lakes and ponds in Longshou Mountain, Xiangsi Lake is extremely small, only a hundred feet away from the end to the other shore. The lake is calm and waveless, reflecting the moon and stars in the sky like a mirror.
And in a pavilion with lanterns hanging on the shore, Chu Xianping was sitting there alone, as if he had merged with this quiet scene.
"Mr. Wei, Mr. Chu is in the pavilion, and the villain will leave."
He stopped, turned around and said something, and the two Kuilong people disappeared without a trace.
Wei Changtian didn't pay attention to where they went, but just stared at Chu Xianping in the pavilion, and then walked over at a leisurely pace.
"Brother Chu."
There was a meaningful smile on his face. When the two met again after nine days, Wei Changtian didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked straight to the point:
"What are you looking for me here tonight?"
"Son."
Standing up and cupping his hands at Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping didn't immediately answer the former's question, and his eyes fell on Li Zimu who was a little later.
"Miss Li."
"Long time no see."
Chapter 831
long time no see...
In the deep of night, all things sleep on the shore of the lake, and the sky is in the four corners of Langan.Enmity, love and hatred are all over, leaving Biyue alone.
Strictly speaking, the "long time" that Chu Xianping said was not long.
From the time he left Fengyuan to today, less than two months have passed.
Is two months a long time?
The answer may be different in different situations.
At least in Chu Xianping's view, this should be for sure.
Just for Li Zimu...
"This slave has seen Young Master Chu."
Holding a hand and giving a salute, Li Zimu's tone was indifferent and his expression was very calm.
This sentence undoubtedly drew a clear line between her and Chu Xianping, and the latter was not surprised when he heard the words. He just smiled bitterly, and then looked back at Wei Changtian.
"Master, I'm here to say goodbye to you today."
"Goodbye?"
Squinting, Wei Changtian sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, looked at Chu Xianping and asked with a smile, "What? Brother Chu, are you finally trying to figure out what will happen tomorrow?"
"it's not true."
Chu Xianping shook his head and also sat down opposite Wei Changtian: "Although the army has surrounded Yongding City, I still believe that most of the people should understand the dignity of the country and the dignity of people."
dignity?
"Hehe, Brother Chu, I'm afraid you don't believe in the people, you just believe in yourself."
With a disdainful smile, Wei Changtian did not argue with Chu Xianping any more about the matter, but just asked casually:
"Since you don't think you will lose, how can you say goodbye?"
"Because no matter what happens tomorrow, I have to leave for a while to do one thing."
Chu Xianping glanced at the bright moon in the water and replied calmly:
"And may not be able to come back."
"..."
Tong Kong shrank, hearing Chu Xianping's words, Wei Changtian inevitably frowned.
And Li Zimu trembled even more, and his eyes suddenly widened.
The two stared at Chu Xianping like this, until Wei Changtian's voice sounded slowly.
"Brother Chu, I seem to understand why you chose to meet me in this Acacia Lake, no, it should be to meet Zimu."
"Young master is joking."
Chu Xianping's expression remained unchanged: "I didn't think so much."
"Really? What are you going to do then?"
Wei Changtian squinted and said, "I really can't think of anything that would make you go back and forth."
"This matter..."
Looking up at Li Zimu, who was staring at him, Chu Xianping shook his head: "Master, let me talk to you alone."
"..."
"can."
After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian turned around and waved at Li Zimu: "You go further."
"......Yes."
Biting his lip lightly, Li Zimu didn't say much. He bowed his head and replied, then walked out of the pavilion alone, retreating to stand under an old willow tree.
After she left, Chu Xianping took a deep breath and said word by word:
"Young master, it's the Moon Picking Sword."
"..."
......
Regarding the Picking Moon Sword, Wei Changtian has always been deeply worried about its drawbacks.
This concern does not come from its impact on "individuals", but from its threat to the world as a whole.
Last time Xu Suisui lied that the Moon Picking Sword had been leaked to the people in order to "promote peace" between Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian.
Although Wei Changtian later found out that this was fake, he still did not dispel his concerns.
After all, there is no leak at the moment, it does not mean that it will not be leaked in the future.
As long as there are people in this world who have practiced the Moon Picking Sword, then this terrifying swordsmanship has the potential to spread all over the world.
And now, this worry has "come true"...
According to Chu Xianping, the source of the leak was the Kuilong masters who were once under Lu Hongji.
Lu Hongji was aware of the drawbacks of the Moon Picking Sword, so in order to prevent these people from becoming uncontrollable, he once gave them a puppet pill.
But then he died in the Xinfeng Palace, and the puppet Dan naturally lost its restraining effect.
So these people ran away like this.
Chu Xianping had been investigating where these people went before, and finally found out their whereabouts today.
He didn't say the exact location, but it sounds like it should be quite far from Dahui and Daning.
And now Chu Xianping is going to go there personally, get rid of these people, so as to avoid future troubles...
The night wind is cool and the moon is quiet.
When Chu Xianping finished talking about the above, Wei Changtian fell into a long silence.
Obviously, if what Chu Xianping said was true, then his behavior was undoubtedly noble.
At the very least, he also didn't want to see the Moon Picking Sword "widely circulated" and then bring chaos to the world.
But if it's fake...Looking at Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian couldn't think of the significance of the former making up such a set of lies.
So after the silence, he just asked slowly:
"Need my help?"
"No need."
Shaking his head, Chu Xianping replied softly, "I killed Lu Hongji, and it was my negligence that caused those people to escape."
"Since this fault is mine, then I will naturally make up for this fault."
"It's just that if I fail to do it...Young Master, I will send back all the information at that time, and I hope you can help me this last time."
"..."
My own mistakes, I'll fix them myself.
But if I really can't solve it, I hope you can kill those people for me to avoid causing more trouble.
In all fairness, Chu Xianping's actions are enough to be called "responsible".
After all, he can completely ignore the few people who escaped, and maybe even take the opportunity to dominate one side in the future chaos.
But he didn't do this, but out of a responsible attitude to the whole world, he decided to go on this encounter.
For a while, Wei Changtian didn't know what to say.
