#838 - A broken mirror cannot be mended

Bringing Gongsun Yan to Dragon Head Mountain in a grand manner attracted everyone's attention and also led Lu Yuanjin to send all his subordinates here.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos here, Yang Liushi was to capture Lu Yuanjin.

Wei Changtian's plan wasn't particularly complex, so when he confirmed that something had happened to Lu Yuanjin, Chu Xianping quickly understood everything.

No.

Strictly speaking, there was still one most important thing he hadn't figured out.

That was, how did Wei Changtian know where Lu Yuanjin was hiding?

You should know that in order to avoid Wei Changtian's pursuit, the latter had even deliberately not hidden in Dragon Head Mountain, and very few people knew his hiding place.

Is there a spy?

Frowning, Chu Xianping's face was extremely ugly.

He didn't know about the existence of "Thousands of Miles of Misty Waves" and couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Hmm?"

Wei Changtian smiled and replied quickly, "Okay, where shall we talk?"

"Right here."

Chu Xianping pointed to the city gate tower not far away and took the lead in walking into it.

Wei Changtian also immediately jumped onto the city wall, not caring about the dense Imperial Guards around him, and walked through the passage cleared by the crowd towards the city gate tower.

However, after taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, suddenly looked around, and his gaze fell on Gongsun Yan, who was being held tightly by two Kui Dragon people on the left and right.

"Your Highness."

Smiling and waving to Gongsun Yan, Wei Changtian said loudly, "Don't worry, if you die, I'll make the entire Yongding City be buried with you!"

"."

The golden sun was like a torch, and the summer breeze was warm, but everyone on the city wall instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The entire Yongding City to be buried with him.

If Wei Changtian's killing of the blocking commoners just now could be considered "cruel," then this was undoubtedly "tyrannical."

No, not just tyrannical, it should be said to be completely inhumane.

More importantly, Wei Changtian actually said this sentence with a smile.

For a time, countless gazes, either fearful or angry, all focused on Wei Changtian.

The latter continued to move forward without taking it to heart, and soon stepped into the city gate tower amidst "universal attention."

"Creak."

The tall fan door slowly closed, and Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping disappeared from everyone's sight for the time being.

What these two would talk about, no one knew.

In fact, many people were quite confused at this time.

Because when Lu Yuanjin and Gongsun Yan had both become puppets, and this battle for the throne was completely controlled by two "outsiders," they were no longer clear for whom they were fighting.

"Brother Liu, what are we doing this for?"

Outside the city wall, an Imperial Guard soldier asked another slightly older soldier next to him in a low voice, "He, Chu Xianping, isn't even a Da Hui person. In the end, he's still doing it for his own benefit."

"Since that's the case, why are we still fighting so desperately?"

"."

Hearing this, the older soldier's expression was also somewhat helpless.

It could be seen that even these ordinary soldiers had already seen through the current situation.

Since Chu Xianping came, it was less that they were fighting for Lu Yuanjin and more that they were selling their lives to Chu Xianping.

And Chu Xianping was not a Da Hui person, so his ultimate goal must only be his own interests.

Thinking like this, their desperate efforts were indeed very unworthy.

However...

"Alas, there's no way around it."

Sighing softly, the older soldier slowly said, "No matter what, if Chu Xianping wins, Da Hui will still be here."

"But if Wei Changtian wins, then Da Hui will be destroyed..."

His tone was astringent, and his eyes were full of loneliness.

The older soldier should have a very strong belief in his country, so even though he knew he was being "used," he was still "willing."

However, the young Imperial Guard didn't have such "awareness," pointed to the tightly closed gate of the city gate tower, and said softly:

"Brother Liu, I understand what you're saying."

"But you also have to understand that now the lives of you and me, the lives of the Great Prince and Gongsun Yan, the lives of Yongding City and even tens of millions of people in Da Hui are all up to these two foreigners."

"Even if Chu Xianping wins in the end, will Da Hui really not be destroyed?"

"Hmph."

Snorting coldly, the young Imperial Guard withdrew his gaze, glanced remotely at Dragon Head Mountain with its magnificent aura behind him, and muttered in the older soldier's dazed gaze:

"If you ask me, from the moment the Great Prince agreed to Chu Xianping, our Da Hui was already finished."

"."

"Young Master, how have you been lately?"

Inside the city gate tower, just as the young Imperial Guard inadvertently spoke the truth, the two "foreigners" he spoke of were already standing face to face in the empty hall.

Because this was the city tower of the palace wall, there were no military equipment,垛草, etc. like ordinary city towers, and the entire hall was even quite magnificent.

Right in the center of the nine white jade stone pillars, Chu Xianping was looking at Wei Changtian and asked softly:

"And Zimu, is she well?"

"."

Coming up and asking about Li Zimu's recent situation, Wei Changtian glanced at Chu Xianping's sincere expression and asked mockingly:

"Brother Chu, Song Li is still in Shu Prefecture City."

"Aren't you going to ask how she's been lately?"

"I..."

A trace of embarrassment floated on his face, Chu Xianping was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, without answering Wei Changtian's question.

The latter also didn't "press his advantage," just curled his lips and said impatiently:

"Alright, let's not talk nonsense, let's talk about the affairs of Da Hui."

"Brother Chu, you should know the reason why I want to destroy Da Hui."

"Actually, I can also guess why you came."

"It's just that I don't understand why you want to oppose me..."

Looking at the silent Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian asked coldly:

"What? Aren't you going to explain?"

". Young Master, I don't think I need to explain anything to you."

Shaking his head again, Chu Xianping looked directly into Wei Changtian's eyes and replied in a deep voice, "It's just that Da Hui is very important to me, so I must compete for it."

"."

I don't need to explain to you, I just want to compete for it.

Chu Xianping's words were very strong, but Wei Changtian understood the meaning.

Obviously, Chu Xianping knew that if he came to discuss it with him, he should hand over Da Hui.

After all, Wei Changtian never thought about controlling Da Hui, he just wanted the Lu family to be finished.

But Chu Xianping didn't do this.

Adding in these two sentences just now, it undoubtedly proved that he was unwilling to eat this "food that was thrown at him."

"Interesting..."

Looking at Chu Xianping's serious expression, Wei Changtian smiled meaningfully.

From a certain point of view, Chu Xianping could be considered "backbone," since he had already parted ways with him, he was unwilling to use the friendship between the two to fight for some benefits.

And if it were a web novel from his previous life, he should now "smile and forget his grudges" and stage a scene of "brothers reconciling."

But reality is not a novel.

It is difficult to reunite a broken mirror, and once some things change, they can never go back.

"Brother Chu, since that's the case, then I'll tell you clearly..."

Squinting his eyes, Wei Changtian said word by word:

"I really want this Da Hui."
