I'm the villain in the book

After taking a few steps silently, he turned his head and looked at Wei Changtian who was still standing there.

Li Zimu looked at it for a long time with complicated expressions, but in the end he didn't say anything, just clenched his fists, turned around and walked down the city wall step by step.

"Miss Li!"

Tang Chen, who had been waiting under the city wall, saw her come down, and immediately walked up to him, and asked with a worried face, "Young master, is he alright?"

Tang Chen was also there when he was negotiating with those three envoys, so he naturally knew about Chu Xianping's collusion with Ganhui Erguo.

Although he has only been with Wei Changtian for less than a month, and the motive is entirely Li Zimu.

But now the concern in these words is very sincere.

"Young Master Tang, you are alright."

Looking at Tang Chen who was frowning tightly, Li Zimu said softly: "It's just...you are also aware of the relationship between Young Master and Chu Xianping before, so it would be hard for anyone to accept such a thing for a while. "

"I want to do something for my son, but I don't know how to do it."

"Hey, I just hope that in the future, I can share more worries for the young master..."

Sighing, Li Zimu looked a little lonely.

Her last sentence seemed to be talking about herself, but in fact it also vaguely included Tang Chen.

But the latter didn't notice this, just nodded and asked hesitantly:

"Miss Li, then... are you okay?"

"..."

The first sentence asked about Wei Changtian's situation, and the second sentence asked about Li Zimu's situation.

Although the sentence structure is the same, the meanings of Tang Chen's two questions are not the same.

After all, Chu Xianping betrayed Wei Changtian, not Li Zimu.

Moreover, Tang Chen didn't know that Li Zimu had already given up on Chu Xianping, and thought that she must be struggling in extreme pain, so he asked such a sentence.

As for how Li Zimu responded...

"Young Master Tang, three days ago, the Young Master called me over to say something, do you remember this?"

"..."

Tang Chen was taken aback, how could he not remember this.

At that time, after Li Zimu went to find Wei Changtian, he "changed his temperament", and even drove him away indifferently, as if he had changed himself.

In the past two days, both of them intentionally did not mention what happened that night, but it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

So now that Tang Chen heard Li Zimu mention it again, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

But he is not a dull person after all, after a brief moment of stupefaction, he quickly understood something, raised his head suddenly and asked:

"Miss Li, did you already..."

"Yes, that day I already knew that Chu Xianping might have betrayed the young master."

Li Zimu nodded, with a guilty tone: "Young Master Tang, I was very disturbed that night, so I treat you..."

"sorry......"

"No, it's okay."

Looking at Li Zimu with drooping eyes, Tang Chen, who finally knew the whole story, would blame her, so he waved his hands again and again and said:

"Miss Li, I understand that this matter must be equally difficult for you to accept."

"But don't worry, I, I will always be with you..."

I will always stay with you.

It was the first time Tang Chen said such words, he didn't dare to look at Li Zimu, and he was even more afraid of getting a negative answer.

But after a moment of silence, Li Zimu did not directly respond to this sentence.

She just took half a step forward lightly, standing very close to Tang Chen, said in a soft but serious voice:

"Young Master Tang, look at me."

"what?"

Tang Chen was stunned, and subconsciously raised his head to Li Zimu.

Their eyes met under the moonlight, and he could even smell the faint fragrance of the latter's hair.

For a moment, Tang Chen was a little overwhelmed, and he hesitated to say something.

But before he could speak, Li Zimu's voice wafted into his ears through the night wind.

"Young Master Tang, answer me seriously."

"Will you marry me?"

Chapter 715 I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry

Will you marry me?

It's hard to say what state of mind Li Zimu was in when he said this sentence.

Maybe it was because she felt that if Chu Xian rebelled, there would be one less available person around Wei Changtian, and she wanted to "sacrifice herself" to keep Tang Chen.

Perhaps because she had completely given up on Chu Xianping, she felt that Tang Chen was also good. After all, the latter had been sincere to her so far.

Anyway, that's what she asked.

As for Tang Chen's answer... The answer to this question may not be difficult to guess.

"I, of course I would."

His breathing became rapid in an instant, Tang Chen didn't hesitate, and almost blurted out what was in his mind the next moment.

But after a pause, he tentatively asked a little less confidently:

"Miss Li, you, are you really willing to marry me?"

"..."

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Li Zimu's eyes showed tenderness.

She slowly stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to shake Tang Chen's hand.

But for some unknown reason, the hand suddenly paused when reaching halfway, and gently removed a weed on Tang Chen's robe.

Although it changed from "physical contact" to "arranging clothes", this behavior still made Tang Chen's mind flutter for a while.

Then, he heard Li Zimu whisper:

"Young Master Tang."

"When Chu Xianping dies, we will get married."

"..."

For a moment, the night wind seemed to be suddenly cold, and it also chilled the people in the night.

Tang Chen lowered his head slowly, his expression changed from excitement to surprise, and then from surprise to bitterness.

If there were only the second half of the sentence, he would definitely not react like this now.

But why should such a condition be added to "marriage"...

Marriage is just a matter of two people.

If Li Zimu was really interested in him and was willing to marry him, why did he wait until after Chu Xianping died?

Tang Chen is not stupid, he knows why Li Zimu is there.

After all, if you want to kill Chu Xianping, you have to catch him first.

And if you want to arrest someone, you have to find someone first.

As for how to find Chu Xianping...Obviously, Wei Changtian had to borrow his "mind-reading" ability.

Therefore, Li Zimu is using himself for Wei Changtian.

"Ugh......"

Sighing lightly, Tang Chen raised his head and looked at Li Zimu with extremely complicated eyes.

Before that, he had always firmly believed that Li Zimu's affection for him was pure.

But now, when Li Zimu proposed this "deal" unabashedly, Tang Chen's mood can be imagined.

"Miss Li, you don't have to."

With a wry smile, Tang Chen said slowly: "Young Master Wei has saved your life. Now that Chu Xianping has turned his back, I understand that you are anxious now and want to help Young Master Wei."

"But I don't want you to marry me because of that."

"Don't worry, if Mr. Wei needs me in the future, I will try my best to help."

"As for what you just said..."

"Forget it."

"..."

Shaking his head, Tang Chen stopped looking at Li Zimu after saying the last sentence, turned around and walked into the night.

Li Zimu wanted to marry, but he didn't.

This statement not only means that even in the face of his beloved woman, Tang Chen still has his own bottom line.

And that sentence "forget it" made Li Zimu stunned for a moment.

She stared at Tang Chen's back in a daze, her mouth slightly opened, as if she wanted to catch up.

But after more than ten breaths, she didn't take a step.

"one two three four......"

"four four......"

"..."

The "five" in my heart has never sounded, and my eyes have become moist at some point.

Li Zimu bit his lips tightly, suddenly picked up his skirt at a certain moment, and chased after the figure who had gone away.

She ran very fast, and the hazy shadow under the moonlight stretched very long.

Then, the figures overlapped, and she threw herself into the arms of the man who had stopped and turned back, clutching the hem of the man's clothes tightly, and crying like a heavy burden.

"Yes, sorry..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......"

"sorry......"

......

......

"Squeak~"

At midnight, Wei Changtian, who had stood on the city wall for an hour, finally returned to the inn where he and Yang Liushi were temporarily staying.

The moment the door was pushed open, Yang Liushi, who had been waiting anxiously in the room, immediately greeted her, and asked in a worried and nervous whisper:

"Young master, have you caught it?"

"No."

Wei Changtian shook his head, took off his outer robe and threw it aside: "I escaped."

"..."

Yang Liushi's breath was stagnant, and her tone became more anxious: "Then what should I do? What's wrong with the Freemasonry?"

"The Freemasons are fine."

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "And he also left the Scarlet Firmament Sword behind."
