After leaving Shuzhou City, Wei Changtian did not rush directly to Huailing, but took a detour first and entered Shiwanda Mountain from the direction of Niutoushan.
His whereabouts during this trip were kept extremely secret, and no one except those around him knew about it.
So even if Ning Yongnian could find out that he left Shuzhou, he would not know his true whereabouts.
Of course, just because you can't find it doesn't mean you can't guess it.
After all, now that he is holding the "hostage" Li Wutong, Ning Yongnian has no reason not to doubt that Wei Changtian will go to Huailing to rescue people.
But Wei Changtian didn't care about this.
Anyway, he didn't originally intend to kill Ning Yongnian through a "sneak attack".
Not to engage in sneak attacks, but to prepare for "frontal confrontation"...
It is obvious that Wei Changtian is not an upright person like Xiao Feng who disdains "black shots".
The reason why he gave up "assassination" was simply because he knew it would be difficult to succeed.
Well...it's not that we can't find opportunities for sneak attacks.
Ning Yongnian is such a big living person, it is easy to find an opportunity to use the "divine strike" on him.
But what you need to know is that the latter must have a secret treasure that can save his life.
After all, even generals like Wu Ding and Han Zhao have similar stuff, let alone Ning Yongnian.
There must be one, and there definitely won’t be just one.
Therefore, the possibility of relying on "magic strikes" to solve the problem becomes extremely slim.
Not to mention that Wei Changtian can only take out two "divine strike talismans" at most now. Even if he can take out five, he can't say that he can definitely kill Ning Yongnian.
And since the path of "assassination" is likely to fail, what about "kidnapping"?
As long as we can find an opportunity to control Ning Yongnian, wouldn't it be possible to calmly search him, unload the treasure, and then kill him?
I have to admit that the probability of success of this method is indeed higher than that of a sneak attack, and it does not require any complicated layout.
But its requirements for "absolute combat power" are very high.
Wei Changtian must not only have the ability to "defeat and subdue" Ning Yongnian, but also have the means to contain all the masters around the latter.
In other words, he needs to find a way to get close to Ning Yongnian in Huailing City, where nearly 100,000 Daning troops are stationed, and then kidnap a group of people at an extremely fast speed before the unknown number of royal guards and third-level masters can react overtly or covertly.
A second-level emperor.
Just hearing about such conditions is difficult, let alone actually operating them.
If Qin Zhengqiu helps, there may be a chance.
But now this former "gold medal fighter" has been abducted by Xu Suisui. He can only rely on the third-grade Wei Changtian, the fifth-grade Du Chang, the sixth-grade Yang Liushi... he should be brought down.
Neither assassination nor kidnapping will work.
So, what exactly should be done to kill Ning Yongnian?
...
...
Two days later again.
Although the main part of Shiwandashan is located on the border between Daning and Li, there is also a small part bordering on Dafeng in the northwest.
After personally giving a series of orders to the Tengu Army, Wei Changtian left the mountain from this direction, entered the Western Desert Gobi, and then continued to rush to Dafeng Huailing Mansion.
Judging from the current speed, it will take them about three days to reach their destination, Huailing City.
"Sir, the capital city has already investigated everything!"
There is no life in the desolate Gobi desert, except for a carriage speeding through it.
Zhang San, who was both a coachman and a "humanoid decoder", took a piece of mother jade back into his arms, turned to the carriage and shouted: "Ning Yongnian is going to Huailing this year, and there is only a second-grade master, Li Huaizhong, by his side!"
"..."
"Where is Han Zhao?" After a moment, Wei Changtian's voice came from the sedan.
"General Han is still staying in the capital!"
Zhang San replied loudly: "Ning Yongnian ordered him to temporarily take over the Imperial Guard!"
"good!"
The word "good" blurted out, and Wei Changtian's expression instantly became relaxed.
He thought for a long time, then opened the car curtain and said to Zhang San who was driving: "Send a message to my father and Han Zhao so that they can be prepared at any time!"
"Tell them that once I give the order, they must completely control the entire capital within one day!"
"Yes! Master!"
With a loud voice in response, Zhang San held the horse's rope with one hand, took out another piece of jade from his arms with the other, and immediately began to burn the jade to send the message.
As a "humanoid card recorder" with a photographic memory, Zhang San does not need a "code book" when sending and receiving letters, and is extremely efficient.
But Wei Changtian took him with him not just for the convenience of communication.
This time when we go to Huailing, Zhang San's abilities are still of great use.
"..."
"Sir! Pass it on!"
Soon, Zhang San had conveyed the order to Han Zhao and Wei Xianzhi.
"good."
Wei Changtian nodded, closed the car curtain again, and turned his gaze to the smiling Yang Liushi opposite.
After coming out of Shiwanda Mountain, Du Chang no longer accompanied him, so now he and Yang Liushi were the only ones sitting in the sedan.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Yangliu Shi with a smile on his lips, Wei Changtian wondered: "What are you laughing at?"
"Keke, sir, it seems that I finally understand what you want to do."
Eyes curled into crescent moons, Yang Liushi covered her mouth and replied: "So you want to push Ning Yongnian to a dead end."
"Dead end..."
Wei Changtian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Oh, I wanted to slap him to death, but I couldn't."
"So we just have to go around in circles."
"Sir, I don't think Ning Yongnian will be threatened by this."
Yang Liushi tilted her head: "Besides, he may not have expected that the young master would do this. I'm afraid he had already made arrangements before leaving the capital."
"Well......"
After being stunned, Wei Changtian was a little surprised at first when he heard this, and then suddenly realized and smiled: "Hahaha, do you think I want to threaten him with someone from the royal family?"
"Well?"
Looking at Wei Changtian, it was Yang Liushi's turn to be confused: "Isn't it?"
"Hahaha, yes or no."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Changtian smiled and waved his hand: "Of course I know that Ning Yongnian is cold-blooded and ruthless, and he doesn't care too much about the life and death of those close to him."
"So what I'm going to do this time is much more than just start a fire in his backyard."
"In other words, whatever he cares about most, I will use to threaten him."
"..."
Whatever he cares about most, I will threaten him with.
After Wei Changtian finished speaking, Yang Liushi didn't say anything for a long time.
She frowned and thought for a long time, and then suddenly raised her head at a certain moment, her eyes full of surprise.
"Sir, do you want to..."
"Well, that's right."
"..."
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The wheels rolled over the yellow sand, and the carriage passed through the ruins of an ancient city.
It is said that the Gobi Desert in the Western Desert was once a grassland thousands of years ago, with many villages and cities in it, but later they became lonely and abandoned due to the "desertification of the land".
So ruins like this are actually not uncommon in the Western Desert Gobi.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, there are generally three reasons for the "death" of a city.
Destroyed by war, destroyed by natural disasters, and destroyed by itself.
And if we classify all the ways to "kill" a person, there are actually only three situations -
Homicide, accident, suicide.
In the matter of "killing the emperor", "assassination" and "kid first and then kill" both fall into the category of "homicide", and it is now clear that they will not work.
Creating an "accident" that could kill a second-grade master was far beyond Wei Changtian's ability.
Then he actually only has the last option left -
suicide.
That's right, Wei Changtian was actually planning to let Ning Yongnian "commit suicide".
And for this, he must first grasp the bargaining chip that the latter is willing to trade with his life.
