Chapter 298: What is the price of tens of millions of lives?
Yama......
As a teacher, he killed Yama with one sword.
When Wei Changtian heard Li Qi say these two words, he immediately thought of what Lao Zhangtou once said.
He once doubted whether Old Zhangtou was Zhang Benchu, but according to Qin Zhengqiu, the latter had already died in full view of the public.
Then he doubted whether Lao Zhangtou was the swordsman who killed Zhang Benchu.
But after some analysis at the time, I felt that this possibility was extremely slim.
And now...
His pupils shrank suddenly and uncontrollably, and Wei Changtian blurted out almost losing his composure:
"What's that swordsman's last name?!"
"..."
Li Qi was stunned and looked at Wei Changtian with a confused and thoughtful look.
However, he quickly gave the answer.
"Mr.Zhou."
"week?"
The fog that he thought was about to be solved closed again. Wei Changtian opened his mouth slightly and asked again unwillingly.
"Your Majesty, are you sure his surname is Zhou?"
"Sure."
Li Qi nodded affirmatively, and then asked with a smile: "Master Wei, what's wrong?"
"nothing."
Wei Changtian took a deep breath, raised his hands and apologized: "Your Majesty, I just remembered an old friend, and I was a little rude. I hope you can forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Qi smiled and waved his hand. Although he knew that Wei Changtian seemed to know something inside, he did not ask any more questions and just brought the topic back on track.
"Mr. Wei, now you should know why Tong'er invited you to come to Feng Yuan."
"Since you can defeat Meng Shi with one move, you must be able to fight against that monster."
"I just wonder if the young master is willing to take action to save Fengyuan's nearly ten million lives?"
"..."
finally.
Turning his head to look at Li Qi, who looked sincere, Wei Changtian did not answer in a hurry, but quickly calculated all the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.
Although Li Qi put himself in a very high position, it seemed that if he didn't take action, he would be risking the lives of millions of people.
But in reality, so many people would certainly not die.
After all, if there was nothing he could do, Li Qi could order everyone in the city to move away from Fengyuan before July 15th.
There is even no guarantee that this work has already begun in secret.
Of course, in just two months, most people can run away, but most things cannot be moved.
The loss of these materials is secondary, and the whereabouts of so many people is a bigger problem.
After all, moving the capital is no joke.
The location of the capital is directly related to the fate of the country, and now it is the "Fengning War". If anything goes wrong at this juncture, there is no guarantee that Dafeng will be destroyed.
Even if there is no leakage, it will definitely seriously damage Dafeng's vitality, let alone maintain the national war.
Therefore, from Wei Changtian's perspective, Li Qi may care about Fengyuan's nearly ten million lives, but it is more based on the consideration of Dafeng's overall national destiny.
As for whether I should agree to it...
Regardless of whether the monster is a real Yama or a fake Yama, to me, it is just a "divine strike", which costs 500 system points.
500 system points, almost the price of two mysterious-level magic weapons.
Not to mention the Dafeng royal family, even the larger aristocratic families can pay this price at will.
To be honest, I don't really take these 500 points seriously. After all, I spent nearly 1,500 points to save Liang Zhen and his daughter.
Looking at it this way, this seems to be just a trivial matter.
but......
You must know that the conditions proposed by the stronger party in negotiations are never measured according to "what they have paid."
Rather, the bid must be based on "what the other party will lose" if the negotiation fails.
"emperor."
After thinking for a long time, Wei Changtian finally said slowly under Li Qi's gaze:
"Maybe I can kill that monster."
"But I still have something to ask Your Majesty."
"oh?"
Li Qi nodded with a smile but not a smile: "Young Master Wei, it's okay to ask."
"yes."
Wei Changtian bowed his hands, bowed respectfully again, and then asked calmly like he was bargaining with a vendor at the vegetable market:
"Your Majesty, what I want to ask is..."
"What is the value of nearly 10 million human lives, plus a country's national destiny?"
...
...
Half an hour later, a carriage surrounded by several riders drove out of the Dafeng Palace and went straight to the Dagengren Yamen located in the north of the city.
In the car, Li Wutong looked at Wei Changtian who was silent. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask:
"Hey...cough, Mr. Wei, have you promised your father?"
"Yes, agreed."
"Then, what did he promise you?"
"nothing."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "I care about all the people in the world, so I decided to kill the monsters for you for free."
"What?"
Obviously, this answer completely exceeded Li Wutong's expectations.
She immediately opened her mouth wide and asked blankly: "Really, is it true?"
Wei Changtian glanced at her: "Princess, what do you think?"
"I think......"
Li Wutong replied subconsciously: "I don't think someone like you can do such a thing."
"Then you still ask?"
"you!"
Li Wutong was instantly furious and knew that Wei Changtian was unwilling to tell him.
But this matter may be related to her own life, so after trying hard to adjust her mentality for a long time, she asked again in a low voice with grievance:
"Master Wei, can you tell me...do you have anything to do with me?"
"Yes, yes." Wei Changtian answered quickly this time.
"ah?"
A blush flew onto his cheeks, and Li Wutong's little face suddenly turned the same color as an apple. He didn't know whether he was embarrassed, annoyed, or both.
But before her rich psychological activities ended, she heard Wei Changtian continue:
"My condition for killing this monster is that your father never marry you to me."
"..."
"Wei Changtian! Who wants to marry you!!"
"You, you, you... you bully me!! You bastard!!!"
Indignant shouts came from the carriage and floated clearly and loudly into the ears of the men standing at the gate of the watchman's office.
One of them took a step forward with a strange expression, approached the leader and asked softly:
"Master Pei, this is the voice of Her Royal Highness, right?"
"Just pretend you didn't hear it!"
The man wearing black clothes embroidered with gold patterns had a straight face and shouted sternly:
"Mr. Wei is from the Xuanjing Division. When I see him later, everyone will cheer up for me. I can't offend Mr. Wei, but I also have to show my style as a watchman!"
"yes!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison, but some people still reminded them again with concern:
"Sir, the princess just called..."
"Fuss!"
The man glared: "Master Wei and Your Highness the Princess are not reckless men like you who only know how to kill people!"
“It’s perfectly normal for men and women to have this kind of interest occasionally!”
"ah!"
After a few words from the man, everyone suddenly understood.
"By the way, is this called beating, beating..."
"Flirting!"
"Yeah!"
"So this is just flirting!"
"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess scolded him so fiercely, I think she must be extremely affectionate towards Mr. Wei."
