You have come from Shuzhou City and are going to the capital to discuss with the Emperor about resisting the enemy.
The carriage is speeding, and the morning sun is golden.
The moment they heard these words, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi's pupils shrank slightly.
They looked at each other, and then Yang Liushi asked softly:
"Miss Li, why do you think so?"
"Um......"
Li Zimu thought for a moment and answered in a coherent manner:
"Madam, sir."
"Zhongling City has been plagued by bandits for more than a day or two. Since the young master has such strength that far exceeds that of the bandits, but has not taken action to kill the bandits before, it shows that he does not know much about the situation in Zhongling before."
"In addition, the young master does not know the layout of the city, so I guessed that you should have arrived at Zhongling City yesterday."
"But the banditry in Zhongling County is known to everyone in Tanzhou. Ordinary people would never choose to spend the night in Zhongling City."
"So you must have come from further away."
"..."
Having said this, Li Zimu paused, lowered his head and took a sip of water.
Her explanations were reasonable and reasonable, but they did not get to the point yet.
"Then how did you guess that we are from Shuzhou City?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes: "Also, why do you think we are going to the capital?"
"because this......"
Putting the tea cup down, Li Zimu pointed to the corner of his clothes gently.
She was still wearing Wei Changtian's outer robe, so the target of her finger couldn't be more obvious.
It was the word "Wei" that scared the black shop woman half to death.
"Sir, except for some swindlers, there is only one family in Daning who dares to embroider this word on their clothes."
"Young Master has extraordinary skills and handsome appearance. Custom-made items cannot be faked."
"So I guessed the young master's identity, so naturally I knew where the young master came from."
"As for how I guessed that the young master was going to the capital..."
"Now the whole world is aware of the imminent invasion of the four kingdoms. Although the young master established his country in Shu, he must understand the principle of death with cold lips and teeth, and he definitely does not want to see Daning fall."
"And since he wants to help Daning, the young master must go to the capital to discuss it with the emperor."
"What's more, Zhongling is on the only way from Shuzhou City to the capital..."
"..."
The logic is clear and the thinking is organized.
Although the entire reasoning process is not complicated, there are no secrets involved.
Including the imminent invasion of the Four Kingdoms, the real "emperor" of Shu is Wei Changtian, and Ning Wenjun was supported by the Wei family to ascend the throne...all of this is known to many people.
But being able to guess so much using this public information combined with the word "Wei" is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Not simple...
He admired in his heart, but he was surprised, but Wei Changtian was actually able to accept it up to this point.
If a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old can achieve this level, it is no problem to say that she is "extremely intelligent".
But if you want to compete with Chu Xianping...
"Yes, I am indeed Wei Changtian, and I am indeed planning to go to Beijing to meet Ning Wenjun this time."
Without changing his expression, Wei Changtian first confirmed Li Zimu's reasoning, and then asked slowly:
"But how on earth did you bet that I would take the south gate?"
"When you asked me last night, I answered Dongmen."
"Are you so sure that I will break my promise?"
"this......"
Li Zimu lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Sir, this matter is actually not difficult to figure out."
"Last night I asked if I could follow you. If you were willing, you would have agreed directly."
"But the young master did not do this, which means that the young master thinks that I am of no use and is not willing to cause this trouble."
"It's just that I couldn't bear to see how pitiful I was, so instead of rejecting me directly, I gave me a question."
"In this way, if I answer wrongly, it means that I have no fate with the young master. Even if I die because of this, it is not the young master's fault."
"Since the young master's purpose in asking this question is just to clear away the guilt in his heart, he must not want me to answer it correctly."
"So the young master will naturally not go through the east gate..."
"..."
If the explanation just now was reasoning, then the explanation now sounds more like "psychological analysis."
If you were willing, you would have agreed long ago instead of doing this, so deep down in your heart you must not be willing to bring me as a burden.
But you also felt that direct refusal might cause me to seek death, so you tried to shift the responsibility to "fate".
As long as I guess the city gate incorrectly, it means we are not destined, and you will not feel guilty even if I die because of it.
Therefore, you definitely don’t want me to make a right bet, let alone keep my promise and go through the east gate...
Although it was incredible, what Li Zimu just said was indeed what Wei Changtian was really thinking at that time.
Even the thoughts in his "subconscious mind" that he himself was not aware of.
He really didn't want to cause more trouble at the time, but he was also afraid that Li Zimu would seek death, so...
"you......"
The originally warm car seemed to suddenly turn into an ice cave, and Wei Changtian felt an inexplicable chill.
What is the origin of this plum wood?
Although he is from an ordinary family, why does he have such an ability that can be called "mind reading"? ?
And since she was so awesome, why was she kidnapped by bandits?
Countless questions flashed through his mind, and were quickly suppressed by Wei Changtian.
He knew now was not the time to ask such questions.
Because he hasn't heard the answer to the most critical and "unbelievable" question yet.
"Okay, what you just said makes sense."
Lifting his eyelids and staring into Li Zimu's bright eyes, Wei Changtian asked word by word:
"But even so, even if you guess that I will break my promise..."
"But why are you so sure that I will take the south gate?"
"You just said that I will definitely not use the west gate or the north gate. What do you mean?"
"..."
This time, Li Zimu paused longer than ever before.
She looked at Yangliu Shi, who had a complicated expression, and then at the slightly shaking teacup on the table, as if she wanted to take another sip of water.
But in the end, she didn't pick up the tea cup. Instead, she cast her eyes on Wei Changtian and said softly:
"Sir, Shuzhou City is in the south, so you must have entered the city from the south gate yesterday."
"And the capital is in the north, so normally you will leave the city through the north gate this morning."
"So among the north gate, south gate, and west gate, under normal circumstances, the probability of the young master leaving the city through the north gate is the highest, and the south gate is the least likely to leave the city."
"But since the young master didn't want me to guess correctly, he chose the most unreasonable south gate..."
"Stop it."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian interrupted Li Zimu's words.
He could understand what the other party meant, but he completely disagreed with the explanation.
Indeed, leaving the city through the south gate is indeed the most unreasonable choice.
But you have to know that when I chose Nanchengmen, I didn’t think much about it at all. It was just a casual comment.
Therefore, Li Zimu's argument could not convince him at all.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't expect it to be so complicated when I chose South Gate."
"At that time, I thought you would be waiting at the east gate, so I randomly chose a city gate, but I didn't expect that you would happen to meet me."
"But this can be considered a mistake..."
"Sir, it's not an accident of fate."
In the surprised eyes of Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi, Li Zimu actually interrupted Wei Changtian once.
She shook her head seriously, then pointed at Wei Changtian's heart.
"Maybe the young master feels that he really hasn't thought about it so much."
"But sir, sometimes you can't detect what's going on in people's hearts."
"And all seemingly random choices are actually determined by these hidden thoughts."
"Sir, do you believe that if you could do it over again, ten times, or a hundred times, you would still choose South Gate?"
"This is not fate, it's your mind."
