In just a moment, the sharp mountain wind surged in like an overwhelming force.
The fallen leaves picked up by the strong wind circled wildly on the ground, while the momentum suddenly rising into the sky on both sides of the mountain road was faster than the wind, and the next moment they collided with each other invisibly.
A few dozen breaths ago, the two sides were just testing each other. Although every word seemed to contain countless opportunities, the undercurrent was always surging underground.
But now, the sudden increase in tension has pushed the atmosphere to a critical point. As long as anyone makes a little "out of line" action or says an "inopportune" word at this time, it will be over in seconds.
There will undoubtedly be another "Battle of Yanyun Mountain".
For the old man in gray robe, he was not afraid of this at all, nor was he bluffing.
Although the people of Kuilong cannot interfere in worldly affairs, this does not mean that they cannot kill a general in order to complete their mission.
As for the countless soldiers hiding in the woods around...
If the seven second-level soldiers are bent on escaping, no matter how many people there are, they will not be able to stop them with these low-level third-level soldiers.
"..."
Holding the handle of the knife tightly with his left hand, Wu Ding stared at the old man in gray robe opposite him, with blue veins popping out on his forehead.
He never expected that the other party would be so "unreasonable" and would forcefully take her away even though Li Wutong had clearly made a decision.
Wu Ding knew that no matter what he said at this time, the other party would not be able to hand over Li Wutong.
So the only question now is whether to try to rob people by violent means.
Internal energy surged, and the tip of the knife hanging by his side trembled slightly.
As both second-level warriors, Wu Ding had never encountered such a threat before.
Make way or you will die tonight...
The words of the old man in gray robe didn't use much force, but they made an unknown fire surge in his heart.
Because besides being a naked threat, these words also contain a deeper meaning——
As long as I want you to die, you will die.
This is a kind of disdain for the weak from the strong, which usually occurs in the dialogue between high-level and low-level warriors.
And Wu Ding is also in the second grade, so it sounds naturally very harsh now.
However, no matter how angry he was, he knew that the other party did have this ability.
The old man in gray robe is a real late-stage second-grade person. Although the other six are slightly weaker, they are at least second-grade.
Although his side has many third-grade ones, he only has three second-grade ones including himself.
Three versus seven.
If the opponent intends to target him, he can indeed kill him in a short time, and then break out with Li Wutong...
Since he can sit in the position of the commander-in-chief of an army, Wu Ding cannot be a reckless man who is prone to passion.
What's more, Ning Yongnian had already told him how to deal with the current situation.
"good......"
Looking at the old man in gray robe, Wu Ding suppressed the anger in his heart, stopped his horse and moved out of the way of the mountain road, and at the same time shouted at the people behind him.
"Give Way!!"
"..."
"Crash!"
The scales rubbed against each other, and all the masters, including Bai Youheng, only hesitated for a moment, and then silently made way for a path that was almost a car wide.
Although they did not receive instructions from Ning Yongnian, their judgment of the current situation was the same as Wu Ding's.
If a fight really breaks out, it will definitely be your side that suffers.
And if the losses are too heavy by then, it may even affect the outcome of the entire war.
"..."
From the turbulent undercurrent to the tense situation, to now "bearing the humiliation and bearing the heavy burden".
No matter how unwilling Wu Ding was, everyone finally chose to give in.
When the old man in gray robe saw this, of course he would not be idle and say a few sarcastic words. He just urged the horse again and soon passed by Wu Ding.
The mountain road is very narrow, and the distance between the two sides is very close at this time.
"Thank you, General."
The old man in gray robe glanced at Wu Ding and said four words calmly, which somewhat saved the latter's face.
However, Wu Ding did not accept the favor. He just stared at Li Wutong, who was being placed on the horse by an old woman, and slowly said word by word the last words Ning Yongnian told him.
"Princess, our army will destroy Fengyuan City within three days."
"But after the city is broken, the Holy One will still wait for you for another ten days."
"That is to say, within thirteen days, what I just said will still be valid."
"The rest is up to you."
"..."
Wait for another thirteen days.
The old man in gray robe instantly understood what this time limit represented.
Thirteen days later, no matter how slow they were, they returned to Shuzhou.
With Li Wutong's temperament, she would definitely beg Wei Changtian to allow her to "sacrifice her life to save the country."
At that time, Wei Changtian will face a dilemma.
If he allowed Li Wutong to fly into the flames, he would undoubtedly be handing over his weakness to the enemy.
But if Li Wutong is not allowed to do this, there will inevitably be a gap between the two.
Let Wei Changtian be the one to extinguish the last glimmer of hope in Li Wutong's heart... Haha, this Daning Emperor does have some tricks to attack people's hearts.
After taking a deep look at Wu Ding, the gray-robed old man said nothing.
Kui Long himself had no position, so he only needed to send Li Wutong back to Shuzhou. As for other things, it had nothing to do with them.
"Da da da......"
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and soon disappeared completely into the night.
The mountain wind gradually changed from strong to weak, the dense forest was covered with countless torches, and the dark clouds on the horizon were thick and oppressive.
...
...
Daning Capital, Imperial Palace.
Just when Kui Long's men were able to escape the encirclement with Li Wutong without any danger, and headed straight to Shuzhou without stopping, the huge Daning Palace was already surrounded by a line of fire.
However, within the palace, there were also tens of thousands of imperial guards in red armor arrayed near the city wall, with all their long swords unsheathed and arrows on their long bows like stars.
If you look down from a high altitude, the palace wall will look like a clear dividing line.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is black outside the city and red inside the city.
The surname outside the city is Wei, and the surname inside the city is Ning.
"Master Wei! What are you going to do?!"
On the Meridian Gate Tower, Li Huaizhong stared at Wei Xianzhi, who was wearing a golden tiger dragon suit and standing in front of countless Xuanjingsi officers. He suddenly thought of the scene that happened in Shuzhou City two months ago.
In just one month, Wei Changtian sent Ning Yuke to the throne in front of the astonished eyes of everyone in the world, and even held a grand ceremony to crown the king, without heeding Ning Yongnian's warning at all.
.
And now, Wei Xianzhi also led people to surround the palace without any warning!
The son openly supports the rebel king, while the father directly surrounds the palace!
madman!
Everyone in the Wei family is crazy!!
Looking at the black-clad people standing all along the long street in front of him, Li Huaizhong shivered unconsciously, and a chill arose from the bottom of his heart.
"Master Wei! Are you mute?!"
"Are you going to rebel?!!"
"..."
As if deliberately emboldening himself, Li Huaizhong shouted several times in succession.
His voice was too high-pitched and sounded ridiculous, like a dying crow.
However, Wei Xianzhi did not laugh, nor did he mean to answer Li Huaizhong.
He just stood in front of the Meridian Gate without saying a word, looking up at the city gate hall with flying dragons and golden sculptures, as if he was waiting for something.
Until a figure finally appeared in front of the palace gate.
"Wei Qing, do you want to rebel?"
Looking down at the tiny figure at his feet, Ning Yongnian's tone was extremely calm.
His voice was not loud, and he asked the same questions as Li Huaizhong.
But unlike the latter, he suppressed all the noise and noise with just this sentence.
The originally bustling capital city seemed to suddenly become quiet. Only the fires burning in the watchtowers were still crackling, and the billowing smoke mixed with the strong smell of saltpeter covered the entire night sky.
At this moment, the entire capital, or rather the entire Daning, was waiting for Wei Xianzhi's answer.
But the latter seemed to have no hesitation, and also said slowly in an extremely calm tone:
"Your Majesty, you should ask yourself about this."
"If you want the Wei family to rebel, then my Wei family..."
