The decisive battle between Daning and Da Feng has begun, which is actually not surprising.
What really surprised Wei Changtian was that Li Qi was seriously injured on the first day of the war.
Damn it, don’t you understand that a gentleman doesn’t stand behind a dangerous wall?
Why are you, an emperor, running on the city wall to watch the excitement?
Wei Changtian naturally understood that Li Qi wanted to boost morale...but you should take protective measures.
How come you were attacked so easily?
Cursing a few words in his mind, Wei Changtian had no choice but to start thinking about another question.
The intelligence said that Li Qi was injured by an unknown second-level master... Then who is this person?
You must know that as the top combat power, second-level masters from various countries are basically equivalent to the bright cards in their hands. Not only do they know it well, but their enemies also know it.
What are these people's names, what they look like, what background they have, what kind of exercises they practice, what kind of weapons they are good at...
Just like the translucent military forces of various countries in previous lives, all these situations have been clearly explored by spies. The purpose is to find out the opponent's comprehensive combat strength and avoid misjudgments in decision-making.
And the situation now could not be more obvious.
The second-grade martial artist attacked this time was not within the scope of Dafeng's control.
An unknown master suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The reason is nothing more than two possibilities.
Either this person was hiding very deep and rarely showed his face, so Da Feng's spies didn't even know that there was such a number one person in Daning.
Either this person is the "foreign aid" brought in by Ning Yongnian, or he is a newly promoted second-grade person.
So, who is this person?
How many trump cards does Ning Yongnian still have that he doesn’t know about?
"..."
With his brows furrowed, Wei Changtian took the information and said nothing for a long time.
Chu Xianping beside him waited for a while, and then asked in a low voice:
"Sir, are you still going to Datong?"
"not going."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether Datong sees it or not. For now, we should first find out what happened in Fengyuan."
After a short pause, he immediately ordered: "Brother Chu, immediately send a message to the spies in Fengyuan City... and Li Wutong, didn't we leave a piece of mother jade for her? Also ask her by the way.
These few things.”
"How is Li Qi's injury? Will he die?"
"If the injury is extremely serious, how many days will it last?"
"How is the war going? Will it be affected by this?"
"Also, let me ask Dafeng what his plans are next. Is it going to be war or peace? Or is he planning to continue withdrawing westward?"
"Well... let's just ask these questions for now."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Nodding, Chu Xianping remembered everything Wei Changtian said in his heart.
He turned around and took two steps towards the door, then suddenly turned back and asked:
"By the way, young master, should we send someone to Fengyuan in advance? If something goes wrong, we can take Princess Wuping back to Shuzhou in time."
"this......"
Tapping lightly on the table, Wei Changtian did not answer immediately.
Previously, he had always felt that this national war would last for several months, so he had not yet considered Li Wutong's safety.
But judging from the current situation, if Li Qi really dies like this, then Dafeng will most likely be defeated rapidly in a short period of time.
And when the time comes, Li Wutong, who is the only bloodline of the Dafeng royal family, will become a "hot cake".
The Li family definitely wanted to take her away and hide her as an important support for "restoring the country" in the future.
Ning Yongnian will definitely find her at all costs, or completely eradicate this "fire", or use her to complete the "indirect rule" of Dafeng.
Of course, all of this is just speculation after all, and no one can say exactly how things will develop.
But one thing is for sure.
That is, if such a day comes, Li Wutong will never have an easy life no matter whose hands he is in.
Wei Changtian doesn't care about Dafeng's fate or Li Qi's life or death.
But he couldn't ignore Li Wutong's safety.
Therefore, it seems that we should indeed send someone to Fengyuan to quietly pick up Li Wutong in advance.
only......
"Brother Chu, the imperial army is approaching now. If we make any big move, we will not be able to escape Ning Yongnian's eyes, so we can only send a small group of people there."
"But who to send?"
"..."
Frowning his brows slightly, Chu Xianping was stunned by this question.
Go to the front line where the two countries are fighting, and then secretly pick up important figures from one side... This is obviously by no means a simple task.
If Qin Zhengqiu is still there, it would be a good idea to let him go.
But now there is only one second-grade master in Shuzhou, Qingxian, and he is also responsible for protecting Ning Yuke, so he absolutely cannot leave.
So it seems like there really isn't anyone available right now.
"Son."
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xianping replied seriously: "I would like to take people to Fengyuan."
"Brother Chu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Looking at Chu Xianping who volunteered, Wei Changtian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "With hundreds of thousands of people surrounding us, it is very likely that we will need to force a breakout."
"If we don't have a few top masters accompanying us, I'm sure you'll be in Dafeng too."
"Forget it, I have my own plans for this matter. You can go about your business first."
"..."
Have your own plans?
Chu Xianping was stunned when he heard this and didn't know what Wei Changtian was thinking.
But he didn't ask any more questions, nodded and left to give orders to Fengyuan's spies.
The room soon became quiet again, except for the quicksand flowing slowly in the copper drain.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Changtian walked out of the room and quickly boarded the carriage.
The riding whip in Zhang San's hand fell heavily, and the horse neighed, and immediately took off towards the Xuanjing Si Yamen, which had been renamed "Xingbu".
...
An hour later, the Xuanjing Division was divided into Shuzhou.
Ning Yuke established herself as queen, and the official system of the dynasty basically copied the framework of Daning.
Since the title of king was too hasty, the establishment of many departments contained an element of "opportunism".
For example, the Ministry of War was completely "restructured" based on the previous Shuzhou Army.
Another example is the Ministry of Punishment, which simply changed the name of the Shuzhou branch of the Xuanjing Division and that was done.
Therefore, strictly speaking, there is no Xuanjing Department in Shuzhou today, only the "Shu Criminal Department".
And now Wei Changtian is coming here to do a big thing.
"..."
"Master Wei!"
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate with a plaque with the word "Xing" hanging on it. Chen Bo, who had transformed into the "Ministry of Punishment", immediately came to greet him and opened the curtain of the carriage diligently.
"Um."
Wei Changtian bent down and got out of the car, nodded slightly to Chen Bo and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Justice.
"Master Chen, have you found the prisoner on death row?"
"Go back to the young master, he has been escorted here."
Chen Bo hurriedly followed him and asked in a low voice: "Look..."
"Prepare a darkroom, I want to use it."
Wei Changtian looked forward with a serious expression: "Push the death row prisoners in too, and no one is allowed to disturb them."
"Half an hour later, someone will come in and collect the body."
