Chapter 1075

After listening, Zhao Yisheng quickly frowned, feeling that this plan was completely unreasonable.

"Is assassinating Han Yimo serious...?" he asked. "Is this the decision you made as 'shou ling'...?"

"Han Yimo is from our opposing camp, so there's no issue with taking him out," Chu Tianqiu replied.

"So you've wanted to do this all along...?" Zhao Yisheng said with a furrowed brow. "Chu Tianqiu... don't you really know that Han Yimo is an undercover 'wo di' we planted on our side? He already joined your 'Tian Tang Kou' earlier, so how could he be wholeheartedly working for Qi Xia in this 'you xi'?"

Chu Tianqiu gave Zhao Yisheng a meaningful look and said, "I truly didn't guess it—why would it be Han Yimo?"

After hearing this, Zhao Yisheng gradually felt a chill on his back. He sensed that Chu Tianqiu wasn't unaware, but rather chose not to admit Han Yimo's identity at this moment.

"Are you kidding me...? Are you putting on an act for me?!" Zhao Yisheng said. "Han Yimo has been working for our team since entering this 'you xi'... Now you're just disavowing him and even wanting us to kill him together... What are you even doing?"

"Zhao Yisheng, have you misunderstood?" Chu Tianqiu said. "I've never acknowledged from the beginning that Han Yimo is our side's 'wo di'. If I'm not mistaken... his identity was given by you."

"So what if I gave it to him?!"

Zhao Yisheng looked angry now. Setting aside Han Yimo's character, the two of them had been operating together for several days in this place, so some bond had formed.

"Wasn't I just thinking about our team's best interests?" He stepped forward, angrily confronting Chu Tianqiu. "Even if Han Yimo has to die, it shouldn't be by our hands right now!"

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu slowly furrowed his brow. Zhao Yisheng thought he might explain or deny something, but Chu Tianqiu ultimately showed a bitter smile.

Why is this happening...? Chu Tianqiu felt a pang of frustration in his heart; no one here understood his thoughts.

"Tianqiu," Wen Qiaoyun called from the side, "do you have some unspoken difficulty...?"

"Unspoken difficulty...?" Chu Tianqiu said with a bitter laugh. "Do you want me to tell you the truth?"

Wen Qiaoyun and Zhao Yisheng exchanged glances, unsure what Chu Tianqiu meant.

"Even if saying the truth leads to the 'you xi' failing... do you all not care?" Chu Tianqiu asked again.

Wen Qiaoyun nodded after hearing this: "Tianqiu, the team is already facing a trust crisis... It's better to clear things up here."

Chu Tianqiu let out a bitter laugh: "Fine, I'll tell you. I originally thought Han Yimo could bring disaster to the other side from within. He could think things like 'the team is going to lose' or 'this team isn't up to par,' but instead, from his selfish and narrow perspective, all that swirled in his mind was 'the 'wo di' is going to lose.'"

"If that's the case, you could have told us..." Wen Qiaoyun still didn't fully understand. "Now it's just that things didn't go as planned at the start... We can still find a way to fix it."

"If I told you the message accurately, you definitely wouldn't think 'we've completely given up on Han Yimo'—you'd only think 'Han Yimo can still be saved,'" Chu Tianqiu said. "As long as you have that idea, you'd unconditionally show kindness and try to save him, and he wouldn't fully give up his role as a 'wo di,' ultimately leading us to failure."

Wen Qiaoyun and Zhao Yisheng fell silent after hearing this.

"Qiaoyun, I once told you that dealing with people who aren't clever is really exhausting," Chu Tianqiu shook his head. "I don't have the patience to explain everything now. I just hope you'll follow my plan."

Zhao Yisheng opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"This is Han Yimo's subconscious at work," Chu Tianqiu said, looking at Zhao Yisheng. "It's not something he can fix by doing or changing anything. We need to kill him now and get this match back on track."

Wen Qiaoyun suddenly thought of something: "But that might not work... Han Yimo just said that Qiao Jiajin is guarding the other side's rear, and with just Zhao Yisheng and Jin Yuanxun... it's definitely not enough."

"Qiao Jiajin is guarding the other side's rear...?" Chu Tianqiu pondered for a moment. "Was this something you asked about, or did he bring it up on his own?"

"He brought it up on his own..."

"Fake," Chu Tianqiu said decisively. "I was still wondering if Qiao Jiajin was seriously injured, but now it seems he might not even be able to move. The reason Han Yimo got Chen Junan's 'zi' could be that he made some deal with Chen Junan, and passing this message to you accurately was part of the deal."

"Ah...?" Wen Qiaoyun was stunned. "Would they think that far ahead?"

Chu Tianqiu sighed: "The reality might be even more complex than that, but they've underestimated how easily they can deceive me. Qiaoyun, you should join the 'assassinate Han Yimo' mission too. Even if we don't succeed this time, we have to show Han Yimo our intent to kill him. Only then can we fully liberate our team."

Wen Qiaoyun nodded, pondering the plan in her mind.

Chu Tianqiu turned to Zhao Yisheng: "Weren't you at the 'qian xian'? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"Ah... I... That's right," Zhao Yisheng quickly said. "Qi Xia has started moving... He's come to our 'si' room and is up to something."

"He came here alone...?" Chu Tianqiu thought for a moment. "Did he bring the 'zi'?"

"He did!" Zhao Yisheng nodded. "I saw with my own eyes that he walked out of the 'men' in the room and then picked up three 'zi' from the ground. He also asked me to relay to you that 'if you keep staying in the 'bei zhan qu', it's just waiting to be defeated.'"

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu narrowed his eyes and thought quickly. Walking out and picking up 'zi' from the ground? That naturally meant he had dropped the 'zi' before choosing to enter the 'men'.

"He's probing the secrets of the 'guo he' rooms," Chu Tianqiu said. "But why bring so many 'zi' to probe...?"

"Tianqiu... are you going to move out now?" Wen Qiaoyun asked. "It feels like more than half the time has passed, and even Qi Xia has made his move..."

"I have a plan," Chu Tianqiu said. "Change the person assigned to 'assassinate Han Yimo,' and have everyone else strike together. This was already a losing situation, so now we'll fully abandon the 'bei zhan qu' and have everyone move out to decide the victory before the other side can respond."

After saying this, Chu Tianqiu thought again about Zhao Yisheng's description of Qi Xia's actions—placing the 'zi' on the ground and walking out of the 'men'... This directly indicated that the things inside the 'men' were related to the 'zi'.

"So, for pieces that 'cannot guo he,' opening the 'men' shows something different... Is it 'di ji'?" Chu Tianqiu murmured to himself, then said to Zhao Yisheng and Wen Qiaoyun, "Go find Xu Liunian and Jin Yuanxun. No matter whether the pieces in your hands can 'guo he,' have everyone 'guo he' together and try to trap the other side in the 'you xi'."
