Just four words, but it contains too much information.
This not only shows that the assassination was not "self-directed" by Li Qi, but also explains the reason why the latter "sacrifice himself to save others."
If combined with the sentence "she will definitely tell her when she wakes up"...there is no doubt that Li Qi has successfully broken through Yu Pingjun's psychological defense.
Looking at Emperor Dafeng who was still hesitant and hesitant three days ago, Wei Changtian suddenly had a feeling——
It seems that Li Qi is different from before.
Wei Changtian didn't know the reason for this change, and of course he wouldn't get to the bottom of it.
He was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, according to what I see, Ning Yongnian should have ordered this matter."
Wei Changtian did not use his inner power to transmit the sound this time, so these words also drifted into Li Wutong's ears.
The latter came back to his senses after hearing this, wiped away his tears and hurriedly asked:
"Father, are those assassins still alive?"
"No."
Shaking his head, Li Qi replied softly: "They all committed suicide before the Imperial Guards arrived."
"But Young Master Wei is right. We can tell without examining them that they are probably the work of Ning Yongnian."
"Ning Yongnian..."
Pursing his lips, Li Wutong lowered his head slightly and clenched his two small hands tightly.
It was obvious that she had remembered this grudge.
"Princess, you should go see the queen first."
On the other side, Wei Changtian did not comfort Li Wutong at this time.
After thinking for a while, he felt that there were some things that he still needed to talk to Li Qi alone, so he found a reason to send the latter away.
"good."
Li Wutong was very obedient. After wiping away his tears, he glanced at Li Qi worriedly and quickly left the hall.
Wei Changtian's expression slowly became serious at this time.
"Your Majesty, if this matter is really arranged by Ning Yongnian, it means..."
"I know."
Standing up slowly, Li Qi interrupted with a cold expression: "It means that what he is planning involves huge implications."
"And I'm afraid this will happen soon."
"..."
Um?
Are you enlightened?
Looking at Li Qi who suddenly learned to "answer", Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, then frowned and added: "Your Majesty, one more thing, this matter is most likely related to the war in Yuanzhou."
"Wonju..."
Nodding, Li Qi pondered for a while and then asked: "Master Wei, if you were asked to guess, what do you think Ning Yongnian wants to do?"
"I don't know, kid."
Wei Changtian thought to himself, why would I go to such trouble if I could guess it? He immediately shook his head: "The most important thing now is to wake up the queen. Then everything will be revealed."
"Oh, I know."
Sighing slightly, Li Qi was silent for a moment and then changed the topic.
"By the way, Mr. Wei, there are still two days left before July 15th."
"I have already arranged what you want and can do it at any time."
"But I don't know when the young master is going to leave Fengyuan?"
"Your Majesty, if Fengyuan City is safe and sound after July 15th."
Wei Changtian answered truthfully: "Then I should leave soon."
"Well, where is Tong'er?"
Li Qi asked again: "Will she go with you?"
"The princess won't leave for now."
Wei Changtian smiled: "Maybe she wants to spend more time with you, the emperor."
"......good."
"Then let her go."
"..."
After saying the last sentence, the hall became quiet.
Wei Changtian and Li Qi were busy with their own thoughts and did not say anything. They just turned to look at the night outside the palace at the same time.
After the previous torment, it was already midnight.
Now ninety-nine percent of the people in Fengyuan City have evacuated outside the city, and the doors of every house in the city are closed. It is difficult to find a single light in the thousand-year-old ancient city that once had thousands of lights on.
All that's left are the jackdaws that keep chirping sadly on the branches.
And the deathly silence that lingers in the night.
...
...
July 14th, early morning.
A whole day has passed since the assassination, and Yu Pingjun is still in a comatose state and has not yet woken up.
Regardless of whether she wakes up or not, Wei Changtian and the others, as the last group of people "left behind" in Fengyuan City, will now temporarily withdraw from the city to wait for the arrival of the Ghost Festival on July 15th.
After all, Bai Youheng's appearance made Yama's life and death uncertain, so no one could be left in the city just in case.
"Master Wei, princess, we are all here."
Outside the princess's mansion, more than ten carriages lined up in sequence, and the heavy door of the mansion was slowly closed tightly by the guards.
Everyone in the house had already boarded the car, but except for some particularly valuable items, they didn't bring anything else with them.
After all, there is a high probability that I will only be away for two days this time and will come back on July 16th, so there is really no need to make it look like moving.
"Well, let's go then."
Nodding, Wei Changtian put down the car curtain and turned to look at Li Wutong, who was sitting opposite with a sad face: "Princess, what's wrong?"
"I......"
Li Wutong frowned and replied in a low voice amidst the sound of horse hooves that gradually became more rapid: "I suddenly feel a little depressed, and I always feel that something bad will happen..."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "As soon as we leave Fengyuan City, there will be no one. Even if Yama is really not dead, there will be no more accidents. How can anything bad happen?"
"I understand, but..."
Li Wutong gently rubbed his forehead. It looked like he really felt uncomfortable.
"But I just feel flustered for no reason... Young Master, do you think that since Yama has the ability to massacre cities, will it go to other places to cause trouble?"
"How can this be."
Wei Changtian continued to comfort him: "Yam Luo must have many restrictions if he wants to massacre the city, otherwise it would not be limited to one city in the first two times."
"The number of murders that occurred in Fengyuan City before means that he can only target here this time, even for Bai Youheng..."
etc!!!
Suddenly, Wei Changtian's voice stopped abruptly.
wrong.
wrong......
Ning Yongnian chose to go to Wonju at this juncture...
Bai Youheng, who takes huge risks to return to Fengyuan...
The Daning army has been huddled in Fengxian County and unable to get out...
All the 500,000 Da Feng elites hoarded in Yuanzhou City...
Damn it!!!
At this moment, all the clues were suddenly connected under Li Wutong's unintentional reminder, and then pointed to a guess that Wei Changtian had never thought of before, or had never dared to think of.
Ning Yongnian, wants to use the hands of Yama... to massacre Yuanzhou City?!!!
"Sir! Are you okay?"
Beside, Li Wutong's extremely worried voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
But Wei Changtian had no time to explain anything to her. The next moment he jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards the palace.
"Master!!"
Behind him, Li Wutong's exclamations were mixed with the neighing of frightened horses, and several figures seemed to be following him.
However, Wei Changtian didn't even have the desire to look back.
quick!
Li Qi should still be in the palace now!
No matter if Yu Pingjun wakes up or not! No matter if his guess is right or not! Even if it is a false alarm, the people in Yuanzhou City must evacuate before midnight!
Although strictly speaking these people have nothing to do with me, and although I have never been a good person,...
