The air waves surged, and Liang Chen rustled down.
In the middle of the night, everything was silent, except for the tense situation inside and outside Shiqu Pavilion, and the atmosphere was tense during the confrontation.
"Canglanglang!"
Outside the palace, more and more Imperial Guards armed with swords and spears were swarming. Zhu Tianhong and Meng Shi also stepped in front of Li Wutong, staring at the seven people opposite them with gloomy expressions.
Of course they cannot be rivals, but they will never allow Dafeng's princess to be taken away from Fengyuan without explanation.
From what he thought was a life-saving straw, to the "robbers" who tried to "rob" Li Wutong...
When the old man in gray robe revealed the true purpose of their trip in an unquestionable manner, the despair in everyone's hearts was even greater than before these seven people appeared.
Yes, if Li Wutong is taken to Shuzhou, then the latter can indeed survive.
but......
Li Qi is critically ill, and Li Wutong escapes... If there is no royal bloodline left in Dafeng, then why do all the soldiers have the need to continue to resist?
This is equivalent to pressing the fast forward button on Dafeng's subjugation, and it directly pronounces the final fate of these people.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for them to want Li Wutong to leave Fengyuan.
However, as the old man in gray robe said...
Faced with seven second-grade people who can almost subvert a country's political power, how can they stop them?
"..."
With extremely contradictory and desperate feelings, almost everyone's eyes were staring at Li Wutong at this moment.
Because now she is the only one who can resolve this crisis.
Li Wutong, who was in the center of everyone's attention, finally raised his head with difficulty after being silent for a long time, and asked a question to the nearly a hundred court officials who were still kneeling on the ground.
"You... who is Mr. Wei's man?"
"..."
Who are Wei Changtian’s people?
Such a question may sound a little confusing at first, but everyone instantly understood what Li Wutong was going to do.
She wanted to bypass these seven masters and talk directly to Wei Changtian.
In fact, if Li Wutong had not thrown away the piece of jade, she would have been able to contact Wei Changtian directly now.
But "if I had known today, why bother in the beginning", now that Zimuyu is gone, Li Wutong can only hope to contact the latter through Wei Changtian's spies stationed in Dafeng.
She knew that Wei Changtian must have placed people in the court, otherwise he would not be so knowledgeable about Li Qi's affairs.
It's just that the number of breaths has passed now, but no one responded.
"..."
Li Wutong smiled sadly and didn't ask any more questions.
Because she knew it was impossible for her to ask anything.
Looking at the old man in gray robe with a calm expression not far away, she seemed a little exhausted and said to Zhu Tianhong and Meng Shi:
"Grandpa Zhu, General Meng, please let the Imperial Guard disperse..."
"Princess! You!"
Zhu Tianhong's expression changed and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Li Wutong shaking his head:
"Grandpa Zhu, I believe Mr. Wei, he will definitely make it clear to me."
"Oh, okay..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Tianhong sighed and stopped talking.
Li Wutong turned his attention to the old man in gray robe.
"Senior, I wonder if you can wait a few more days?"
"I want to make this clear to Mr. Wei first."
"If Mr. Wei does not send you any new orders by then, then I will go to Shuzhou with you. How about that?"
"..."
Frowning slightly, the old man in gray robe thought about Li Wutong's suggestion for a moment.
In his opinion, even if Li Wutong contacted Wei Changtian, there would only be two outcomes -
Either the order remains unchanged and they will still take Li Wutong away by force.
Or just let Li Wutong stay in Fengyuan and the mission will be abandoned.
As for things like "helping Dafeng fight", it is simply impossible.
"Since you said so, princess...it's okay."
After figuring out the joints, the old man in gray robe did not continue to be aggressive, but just added a time limit to the process.
"Two days."
"Princess, we will wait for two more days in Fengyuan."
"If we haven't received a new order in two days, then I hope the princess will not forget the promise just now."
"It's natural."
Nodding solemnly, Li Wutong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the officials in the palace again, and then waved gently.
"That's it, you all go down..."
"yes......"
After a few breaths, nearly a hundred court officials got up from the ground, and then exited Tianlu Hall one after another with different thoughts.
For most people, what they were thinking about at this time was whether Wei Changtian would let these seven masters stay and help Dafeng survive this life-and-death crisis.
But there are some people who have different ideas...
Half an hour later.
Two Dafeng officials, who were not very high-status, each heated the Zimu Jade in their hands in the darkroom.
And if the signals sent by Zimu Jade can be traced, then two messages will be seen flying out from Fengyuan and heading straight to Daning, thousands of miles away.
One went to the capital.
One went to Shuzhou.
...
...
At the beginning of Zi Shi.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
When you hear the sound of drums, you enter, and when you hear the sound of gold, you retreat.
When the piercing sound of gongs sounded in the night and the imperial army retreated like a tide, the first offensive and defensive battle of Guanghan City ended.
From the start to the end, it took less than two hours.
It didn't take long, but as a tentative attack it was just right.
As for the result...it's not much different from the designed script.
Despite the dangers, the Shu army "barely" held on to the first wave of offensive.
Wei Changtian was very satisfied with this result.
Moreover, he himself also killed seven in and seven out on the battlefield, successfully completing the task of "deterring Han Zhao".
"..."
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Jumping back to the city wall, fifty long swords stained with blood also flew back to the star scabbards under the adoring eyes of the surrounding soldiers.
Wei Changtian imitated the way he acted in the TV series in his previous life. He wiped the blood on the last shadow knife with the corner of his clothes in a very pretentious manner, and then prepared to say a few words to boost morale.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But before he could finish pretending, Chu Xianping hurried over from under the city wall.
"Sir, something happened over there in Fengyuan!"
"..."
A quarter of an hour later.
Wei Changtian basically understood everything that had just happened in Fengyuan.
Li Wutong's guess was correct. There were indeed spies arranged by him among those court officials.
But the latter is not stupid, and of course he would not expose himself under the circumstances.
However, this person also knew about the relationship between Wei Changtian and Li Wutong, so he immediately sent a letter back asking him how to handle the matter.
For Wei Changtian, although he didn't know why Li Wutong didn't contact him directly, he could probably guess that the former no longer had the conditions to contact him.
Of course, with this detailed work, it would not be difficult for the two of them to get in touch again. Li Wutong must be waiting for him to send her a message now.
But......
Wei Changtian knew what Li Wutong wanted to ask and what he wanted to say.
She must have thought that she could let those seven second-grade masters stay to help Dafeng tide over the difficulties, or at least not let them force her to Shuzhou.
However, Wei Changtian could not satisfy any of her "requirements".
Those seven second-grade masters belonged to Kui Long, and he was not qualified to order them, let alone directly participate in the war.
On the other hand, it was impossible for him to watch Li Wutong be buried in Fengyuan.
Therefore, after just thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian made a "heartless" choice.
"Tell that person not to reveal his identity, let alone say anything to Li Wutong."
Looking at Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian said slowly: "Just pretend you don't know anything."
"this......"
Chu Xianping was stunned when he heard this, and confirmed in a low voice: "Sir, do you mean... that we will not contact Princess Wuping?"
"What can I say if I contact her?"
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian patted Chu Xianping's shoulder gently: "It's okay, I will explain it clearly to her when she gets to Shuzhou."
"..."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
The night was as dark as ink, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Chu Xianping seemed to vaguely understand something, nodded without asking any more questions, and quickly left in a hurry.
Wei Changtian, on the other hand, still stood where he was, looking up at the night sky, and then sighed helplessly.
