On the second day of February, on Fangcun Mountain, I ascended to the heavenly secret.
The spies who withdrew sealed the sect of the mountain gate.
Warning not to leave Shu within half a year.
Standing in the darkness, Wei Changtian's expression surprisingly remained unchanged, as if he had expected all this.
He looked back at the people who were still enjoying the fireworks and asked softly:
"Who else knows about this?"
"Back to the young master, Miss Li contacted the villain directly, and there was no other person involved."
Zhang San lowered his head and replied: "As for whether Miss Li told others about this, that villain has no idea."
"Um."
Nodding, Wei Changtian calmly ordered: "Send a message to Zimu and ask her not to tell anyone about this."
"Especially them."
"."
them?
Zhang San was stunned and followed Wei Changtian's gaze to the crowd not far away, and immediately understood what the latter was going to do.
"M-Sir, are you going to Fangcun Mountain too?"
His voice stuttered, and Zhang San hurriedly reminded: "But if Miss Li's guess is correct, then Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu will definitely not be unprepared, and may have already secretly colluded with many forces."
"Sir, if you really want to go, you'd better bring some experts with you!"
"Zhang San."
Turning back and patting Zhang San on the shoulder, Wei Changtian did not explain anything, but said softly:
"Give me the Zimu Jade that communicated with Li Zimu."
"this"
Zhang San's eyes widened suddenly: "Master, let me accompany you! At least I can take your place."
"No need, you stay in the capital."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian interrupted without any doubt: "Give me the mother-in-law jade."
"."
Looking at Wei Changtian, Zhang San hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly took out a piece of jade from his arms.
"Remember, no one can talk about this."
Taking the Zimu Jade, Wei Changtian solemnly warned: "No matter who asks you, just say that I went out to do something. Do you understand?"
"Young man understands."
Zhang San nodded with difficulty, and then asked softly: "Master, when do you plan to leave?"
"Leaving tonight."
Wei Changtian didn't hide anything. After saying the last words, he turned around and walked back to Liang Qin, leaving Zhang San standing there with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was feeling.
"Brother Changtian, what's wrong?"
On the other side, Liang Qin certainly noticed what Wei Changtian did just now, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with Zhang San?"
"What can happen to him?"
Wei Changtian smiled, and there was nothing unusual in his tone: "I just wanted to come and wish me a happy new year."
"oh."
Liang Qin was not as sensitive as Yang Liushi, so she didn't suspect anything. She nodded and looked excitedly at the blossoming fireworks above her head.
The colorful fire exploded and extinguished, dragging long tails across the night sky, and the uncertain light illuminated everyone's smiling faces.
Wei Changtian stood in this colorful light with firm eyes.
When the night is ugly, outside the west city gate.
The crackling sound of firecrackers has become much sparser than before, but one or two will still sound in the distance from time to time, seeming to remind everyone of the arrival of the New Year.
A black shadow flashed across the city wall, and in a few flashes he came under an old tree.
"Son."
Zhang San, who had been waiting here for a long time, came out from behind the tree, with a tall horse beside him.
Handing the horse rope to Wei Changtian's hand, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.
"Okay, don't worry about me."
Wei Changtian smiled, turned on his horse with a swish, and said, "Go back."
"Yes Yes"
Zhang San's voice was a little trembling and his eyes were a little red.
Although he wanted to persuade Wei Changtian to take more people to Fangcun Mountain, the words came to his lips but he just couldn't say them.
Because Zhang San already understood the reason why Wei Changtian didn't do this.
If Li Zimu's information is correct, then there will definitely be an unprecedented fierce battle at the foot of Fangcun Mountain on the second day of February.
But this time, whether facing Chu Xianping or Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian had no confidence in winning.
Therefore, the latter wants to preserve the "power" of the Wei family as much as possible.
If only Wei Changtian dies, then the Wei family will still be there, Daning and Shu will still be there, and hope will still be there.
But if Wei Changtian takes a group of people and the whole army is wiped out, then everything will be over.
From just now to now, Zhang San finally figured this out.
And it is precisely because he understood that he has become so "mother-in-law" now, and is even on the verge of tears.
"I asked you to go back, why haven't you left yet?"
After taking a look at Zhang San, Wei Changtian certainly understood what he was thinking.
However, Wei Changtian did not comfort the man who had been with him for three years. He just said two words coldly: "Let's go!"
"."
His body trembled, and Zhang San said nothing.
He turned around slowly and walked seven or eight feet in three steps, his feet as heavy as lead.
Within the distant city wall, the sound of firecrackers was still ringing, and the crescent moon was still high in the sky.
But when Zhang San took a few more steps and looked back again, the man and horse had turned into a small black dot in the distance, and then disappeared.
Zhang San returned to Wei Mansion half an hour later.
Standing outside the gate with big red lanterns, the red debris from exploding firecrackers was all around my feet.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and gently opened the side door.
When the scene in front of him jumped into his eyes, Zhang San was suddenly stunned.
"."
Except for Wei Qiaoling and the three little girls, Wei Xianzhi, Qin Caizhen, Liang Qin, Xu Qingwan, and Yang Liushi were all standing inside the door, looking at him with extremely complicated expressions.
"Zhang San, where has Brother Changtian gone?"
In the silence, Liang Qin took a step forward and asked in a trembling voice: "You know, right?"
"Go back, madam"
Zhang San lowered his head, not daring to look at Liang Qin: "I don't know, little man."
The moonlight was pale and pale, and the Spring Festival couplets posted on both sides of the mansion's door were bright red and festive.
Everyone actually knew in their hearts that Zhang San was not ignorant, but Wei Changtian didn't allow him to say it.
But at this time, no one continued to question Zhang San. Everyone stood silently under the moonlight, only Liang Qin's urgent voice echoed in the air.
"Then, when will he come back?"
"lady."
Zhang San buried his head even lower: "Even this villain doesn't know about this."
"."
His body went limp for no reason, and Liang Qin felt weak all over, and seemed to fall to the ground the next moment.
"Qin'er!"
"Sister Qin'er!"
Qin Caizhen and Xu Qingwan, who were standing next to her, hurried forward to support her, their eyes suddenly turned red.
Although Zhang San did not say what Wei Changtian went to do, everyone could not understand the danger involved.
After all, if it was just a big deal, why would Wei Changtian hide it from everyone and leave in a hurry on New Year's Eve alone?
At this moment, everyone standing here has the most intimate connection with Wei Changtian.
They were worried about Wei Changtian and wanted to help him share the burden.
But they also knew that as long as it was decided by Wei Changtian, they could not change it.
"Zhang San."
Supporting Liang Qin, Xu Qingwan's voice became a little choked.
She bit her lip and looked up at Zhang San, trembling, and in an almost pleading tone, she asked a question that sounded like nonsense, but was perhaps the question that everyone cared about the most and dared not think about.
"Mr. Xianggong, he will come back, right?"
"."
Breathing heavily, Zhang Sanyi didn't know how to answer for a while.
It was obvious that he really didn't know this question.
But after a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head and deceived very seriously:
"Madam, the young master told the villain when he left."
"He said he will come back safe and sound. Madams, please just rest assured."
"."
"well"
"Then, let's wait for him, wait for him in the capital."
It seemed like a huge boulder had fallen to the ground. Regardless of whether Zhang San's words were true or false, their effect was undoubted.
After all, no matter who it was to, Wei Changtian had never broken his promise before.
So, it must be the same this time.
