Outside the city, the fiercely attacking Daning army had sounded the gong and retreated, and the originally fierce battlefield seemed to become silent in an instant.
Not only that, Wu Ding also ordered the entire army to retreat for the first time after the war began.
Although it is only three miles, it means that the encirclement outside Fengyuan City that has been approaching every day has finally loosened.
The cause of all this was, of course, the seven second-grade masters who suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Yes, it may be difficult for one or two people to influence the trend of a war.
But when seven second-grade warriors go into war at the same time, the situation becomes uncertain.
Therefore, the frightened Wu Ding immediately made the most prudent response——
The entire army retreated three miles, suspended the attack, and sent a message back to Daning. Ning Yongnian decided whether to attack or stop.
Of course, this will definitely shake the morale of the military.
But Wu Ding had no choice.
Before he figured out the origins of these seven people, he could not continue to attack at the risk of ruining the victory, so he could only grit his teeth and avoid the edge for the time being.
In this way, hundreds of thousands of people in Daning quickly broke camp and retreated in an atmosphere of depression and fear, and even the corpses of their own soldiers had no time to restrain themselves.
At the same time, all the civil and military officials in the Dafeng Palace were in high spirits, thinking that the war was finally turning for the better.
but......
...
At the end of Haishi.
Dafeng Palace, Tianlu Hall.
"I will never forget the life-saving grace of several seniors."
In the main hall crowded with no less than a hundred people, Li Wutong, who had simply bandaged his injury, respectfully bowed deeply to the seven people sitting on his left.
And as soon as she said these words, all the court officials in the room immediately shut their mouths, and they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
Obviously, this scene is completely different from what it was half a month ago.
The reason why the attitude of the court officials towards Li Wutong has undergone such an earth-shaking change is, on the one hand, because the latter has indeed been brave enough in the past half month, and on the other hand, it is because of the seven people sitting here.
.
At this moment, it was clear to everyone that these people were here for Li Wutong.
To put it more bluntly, these seven masters were sent by Wei Changtian to help his future wife.
Although no one understands why Wei Changtian can master such a terrifying power, everyone knows one thing very clearly——
That is, without Li Wutong, this scene today would never have happened.
After all, there is also a war going on in Shuzhou right now, and it is also the time to hire people.
No one thought that Wei Changtian would be so "dedicient" that he would leave his base camp alone and instead come to save Dafeng from danger.
Therefore, Wei Changtian could only do this because of Li Wutong.
And Li Wutong himself was obviously aware of all this.
"..."
Her shoulders hunched slightly, and she looked at the seven people opposite her with calm expressions. The emotion in her heart at this moment had reached a level beyond words.
At this moment, Li Wutong just wanted to end the war as soon as possible, heal Li Qi as soon as possible, then go and marry Wei Changtian, and never leave that man again.
This impulse was so strong that she even wanted to run to Shuzhou desperately now.
However, Li Wutong also knew that she couldn't do this.
Because she is still the princess of Dafeng and the last spiritual pillar of tens of millions of people in Dafeng.
So she needs to stay and lead Dafeng to win this battle to protect the country.
"..."
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Li Wutong bowed deeply to the seven people again.
"Seniors, I wonder how... Mr. Wei is doing now?"
"I, Dafeng, are currently in crisis, but I can receive help from several seniors. I am truly grateful."
"I just wonder if several seniors coming to Feng Yuan... will it delay the war in Shuzhou?"
It was obvious that Li Wutong was very worried that he would be dragged down by the war in Shuzhou, so he asked this question.
The seven people opposite her looked at each other, and then an old man in a gray robe shook his head and replied:
"Princess, I think you misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
Li Wutong was stunned: "Senior, I don't understand what you mean."
"Well, it's my fault that we didn't explain it clearly just now."
The gray-robed old man glanced at Li Wutong with a calm expression, and then calmly explained:
"Princess, it is true that we are traveling here under the orders of Mr. Wei."
"But we will only take you back to Shuzhou. As for the rest, I'm sorry that we can't do anything else."
"Senior..."
Li Wutong suddenly widened his eyes: "I, I still don't understand..."
"Ahem, then I can make it more clear."
The old man in gray robe coughed dryly, with a somewhat pitiful look in his eyes.
"Princess, our mission this time is to escort you to Shuzhou safe and sound."
"As for the war between Dafeng and Daning, we will not interfere."
"I wonder if I can explain it clearly this time?"
...
...
The sky above the moon is completely silent, and there is a heavy sound of dew falling on the leaves.
As if time suddenly stopped, just after the old man in gray robe finished speaking his last words, the brightly lit hall instantly became silent.
I am powerless and will not intervene.
No one understands what these two words mean.
It is precisely because of understanding that everyone is so shocked.
It turns out that these seven second-level masters came to Fengyuan just to pick up Li Wutong.
As for Dafeng's life and death...they, or rather Wei Changtian, don't care at all!
"Seniors, seniors!"
Among hundreds of looks of astonishment and despair, Li Wutong was the first to come to his senses.
She staggered forward, and the next moment she knelt down in front of the seven people without hesitation.
"I'm not afraid of the jokes of my seniors. I, Dafeng, am indeed at the point of life and death!"
"If Fengyuan City is destroyed, Dafeng will be destroyed!"
"So, therefore, I beg you seniors to help me!"
"No matter what the seniors' conditions are, I can agree to it!"
"Yes, that's right! I will send a message to Mr. Wei to explain this matter clearly to him!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."
From Li Wutong alone to everyone in the entire hall.
Within a few breaths, all the court officials in the palace followed Li Wutong and knelt on the ground, shouting "Seniors, please help me".
At this time, no one wants to see this last life-saving straw slip through their fingers.
However, the rule that Kuilong people "cannot participate in worldly power struggles" will never be broken just because they kneel down.
"well......"
"Princess, I understand how you feel at the moment, but..."
With a deep sigh, the old man in gray robe used a soft inner force to lift Li Wutong up from the air.
"But we really can't help you."
"Even if you plead with Mr. Wei, it won't help, so you... just give up on this idea."
"..."
From the perspective of the old man in gray robe, what he meant was that not even Wei Changtian could force them to violate Kui Long's rules.
But for Li Wutong, who didn't know what Kuilong was at all, she could only understand this sentence as——
Wei Changtian is willing to save her, but he will never save Dafeng for her sake.
"Why, why..."
When misunderstandings arise, Li Wutong inevitably falls into a conflict.
She didn't understand why Wei Changtian was so ruthless even though he sent so many experts here.
She didn't understand why Wei Changtian didn't understand that it was absolutely impossible for her to leave Dafeng behind and live alone.
"I, I won't go to Shuzhou!"
Li Wutong raised his head with tears in his eyes, trying to use himself to retain the last glimmer of hope for Da Feng.
She stared at the old man in gray robe, clenched her fists and said with trembling words:
"I am Da Feng's princess! I won't leave!"
"..."
From joy, to despair and shock, to tit-for-tat.
Because of Li Wutong's words, the atmosphere in Tianlu Hall suddenly became a little tense.
However, the old man in gray robe didn't pay much attention to this and just shook his sleeves gently.
"Princess, Mr. Wei said."
"As long as your life is threatened, we must take you back to Shuzhou."
"This matter does not require your consent..."
"boom!!"
In an instant, the internal forces in the bodies of the seven second-grade masters were running wildly at the same time, and the strong pressure generated even caused the stone pillars around the hall to tremble slightly.
There was no wind at the corner of his clothes. The old man in gray robe slowly took a step forward, and his expression became serious for the first time.
He glanced indifferently at the trembling court officials lying on the ground and the imperial guards pouring in outside the palace, and then said in an almost threatening tone:
"Princess, I hope you won't put me in trouble, otherwise we won't mind taking you away by force."
"Of course, if you think you can stop me from waiting, you can give it a try."
"But I'm afraid that if this happens, you, Dafeng, may die faster."
