#637 - She Deserves It
This time, I'm begging her.
When these six words entered Zhang San's ears, he was immediately stunned, wondering if he had misheard.
He had been by Wei Changtian's side for more than two years and had seen Wei Changtian handle all sorts of problems, big and small.
But he had never seen the latter beg anyone, not even once.
And now, Wei Changtian actually used this word in the message he was about to send to Xu SuiSui.
Zhang San understood that Wei Changtian was doing this for Yang Liu Shi.
But to be able to go to this extent was, frankly, beyond his expectations.
"Young Master..."
His mouth slightly open, he managed to utter two words with difficulty.
Zhang San wanted to say something, but after seeing Wei Changtian's expression, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
"This humble one will inform Young Master Chu."
"Mm."
Nodding, Wei Changtian didn't say anything more, but turned his head to look down the mountain again.
Begging Xu SuiSui to reveal the origin of that mysterious black hole... To him, although this matter wasn't as difficult to broach as Zhang San imagined, it wasn't exactly easy either.
After all, the relationship between the two of them could no longer be considered friendship.
Even if they勉强 weren't enemies, the conflicts and gaps between them did exist.
Moreover, Xu SuiSui might not even really know.
Even if she knew, she might not be willing to help.
To humbly beg for a possible opportunity, Wei Changtian had never even done such a thing in his previous life, let alone after transmigrating into the noble identity of "Wei Family's Only Son".
However, Wei Changtian didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Although he had always thought that the phrase "To fight the whole world for one person" was very chuuni.
But only at this moment did he realize—
Perhaps the "fight the whole world" part is an exaggeration, but what a person can give for others can sometimes be a lot.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xin Feng Capital City, the Imperial Palace.
The fragrance of incense lingered, and monks in kasayas freely moved in and out of the Imperial Palace, making it seem like a huge temple.
When Zhang San conveyed Wei Changtian's message word for word to Chu Xianping, and Chu Xianping conveyed it verbatim to Xu SuiSui, the latter was discussing the matter of resisting the enemy with several Buddhist monks.
"Venerable monks, please wait a moment, this Empress has some matters to attend to."
"Your Majesty, please proceed without worry."
"Okay."
Nodding, Xu SuiSui, dressed in a golden robe, slowly got up, followed the eunuch around several screens, and walked into a quiet room.
The tassels on her crown swayed slightly with her footsteps, and the hem of her robe trailed on the ground. She looked quite dignified now.
However, compared to Ning Yu Ke, she was still a bit lacking, and she always felt that her demeanor was not natural enough.
Thinking about it carefully, this was normal.
After all, no matter what, Ning Yu Ke was a genuine daughter of the imperial clan, and she had received orthodox royal education since she was a child.
But Xu SuiSui was a transmigrator, and no matter how superb her acting skills were, she was still acting, and her words and actions would inevitably reveal some flaws.
To put it bluntly, she didn't yet have that true "Imperial Aura".
...
"Your Majesty, this is the secret letter that has just been sent from Da Shu."
In the quiet room, the little eunuch respectfully handed over a sealed iron tube.
Xu SuiSui casually took it, twisted open the lid of the tube, and shook out a strip of paper from it.
There were not many words on the paper, only a few lines.
But she read it for a long time, and her breathing gradually became rapid as her gaze lingered on it.
"You may step down."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
...
The door of the quiet room opened and closed silently. After the little eunuch bowed and retreated, only Xu SuiSui was left in the room.
She clenched the paper tightly, her gaze lingered on the incense burner burning incense in the corner, and at a certain moment, she suddenly unfolded the paper and reread the contents.
【This time, I'm begging you.】
Looking at the six words in the last line, Xu SuiSui's expression gradually became complicated.
There was doubt, surprise, and entanglement.
There was also some bitterness.
Judging from her current reaction, she undoubtedly knew the origin of that mysterious black hole.
And also judging from her reaction, she didn't seem to want to help Wei Changtian with this favor very much.
The surroundings were silent, everything in the quiet room was permeated with the fragrance of incense, even when no incense was burning, the remaining fragrance was still oscillating in the air, so now that there was incense on the stove, it was not very clear.
I don't know how long it took, a soft murmur sounded faintly, intertwined with the fragrance of incense.
"Wei Changtian, I don't even know if doing this is helping you or hurting you..."
"I also don't know if doing this will harm me..."
"But you've already said that..."
"I hope I didn't make the wrong choice..."
...
An hour later, the far north of Tianshan.
In a certain mountain cave, Wei Changtian looked at Zhang San and Huang Sheng in front of him, and took out two arrowheads engraved with complex inscriptions from his arms.
"Zhang San, send a message to Chu Xianping and tell him to leave immediately for Liangzhou to preside over the overall situation of this battle for me."
"Also, tell my father to send all the second-rank experts he can mobilize who are currently north of the capital to Liangzhou City."
"As many as possible, as long as they can arrive within five days."
"Oh, and Xu SuiSui."
"Tell her that I will remember this favor, thank you."
...
Amidst the complicated expressions of Zhang San and Huang Sheng, Wei Changtian smiled and handed the arrowheads in his hands to the two of them respectively.
"Take these arrowheads with you, they can block a fatal injury for you in case of an accident."
"Also..."
As he spoke, Wei Changtian shook out two more talisman papers from his sleeve.
"This thing is called the Stealth Talisman. Using it in a deserted place can hide your figure for half an hour. It should be enough for you to escape."
"Of course, I don't hope you can use these, but it's better to be prepared just in case."
...
Two life-saving items seized from Wu Ding and Ning Yongnian, two Stealth Talismans worth 300 points.
Wei Changtian casually gave Zhang San and Huang Sheng so many treasures, the two of them knew very well what it meant.
"Young Master, don't worry! We will definitely keep a close eye on the enemy's movements! We will risk everything!"
Zhang San immediately made a loud military pledge. Although Huang Sheng's expression was a little uneasy, he also gritted his teeth and nodded.
"But please rest assured, Young Master! This humble one will never fail his mission!"
...
The voices of the two echoed in the cave, and then were covered by a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha, what do you mean risk everything? If you really die, how can you complete the important task."
Heavily patted the two of them on the shoulders, Wei Changtian put away his smile, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Uncle Liang will send someone to help you soon."
"However, reinforcements will take at least four or five days to join you."
"Before that, you must keep an eye on the enemy's movements no matter what."
"This concerns the victory or defeat of this battle, I think you should all be clear, so I won't say more."
"Alright, that's it."
"Go."
...
After saying the last two words, Wei Changtian walked towards the entrance of the cave without looking back, his figure becoming more and more small in the vast white snow.
Zhang San and Huang Sheng silently watched him disappear, and then exchanged a complicated look.
"Brother Zhang, I didn't expect Young Master to value his affection for the Madam so much that he doesn't even care about the war."
"Colonel Huang, with you and me here, it won't delay us from scouting the enemy's situation even without the Young Master."
Zhang San glanced at Huang Sheng: "Young Master Chu also has unparalleled strategies, and it won't be a problem for him to preside over the overall situation."
"Alas, but I always feel that the Young Master is being too sentimental this time..."
Huang Sheng shook his head: "Madam Yang is just from a brothel, compared with national affairs like resisting the enemy..."
"Colonel Huang."
Suddenly, Zhang San interrupted coldly:
"I know you are straightforward, but it's okay for you to say these words to me, but don't ever mention them in front of the Young Master in the future."
"Moreover, the Young Master has his own considerations on how to act, it's not up to you to teach him."
