Chapter 536 There are some things you cant let go of
From enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, to working hard and tasting courage.
Until now, life and death are no longer a concern.
When Li Qi decided to say the words "I won't agree", he knew that he would not be able to survive and would never be able to take revenge.
But he did it anyway.
And if combined with Li Wutong’s previous nod...
There is no doubt that the father and daughter have very different understandings of the concept of "country".
Among Li Wutong's values, Da Feng's nominal existence is the most important.
But in Li Qi's view, if he could abandon the lives of millions of Dafeng's people, he would not be worthy of being the emperor of Dafeng at all.
Therefore, he would rather die in Huailing in exchange for the lives of the people in Huailing, and would never exchange the lives of the people for his own survival in the world.
As for which one is correct, Li Qi’s choice or Li Wutong’s choice.
Again, it's hard to explain clearly.
...
The palace door was not closed, and a cold wind swept through the hall.
Li Qi was still standing upright, his dragon robe was shabby and rustling in the wind.
A group of Dafeng officials had also stood up, their faces full of determination.
If Li Qi dies, they will certainly not be able to live either.
But at this time, no one showed any fear.
Because as Li Qi just said, their death is not meaningless.
Their deaths are telling all the people in Dafeng——
You must hate Daning and Ning Yongnian, and you must resist to the end.
"..."
From acquiescing to Li Wutong's decision to firmly standing on Li Qi's side.
The change in attitude of these officials undoubtedly shows that they all understand what is the "right" thing to do.
But for Li Wutong, all these changes came too unexpectedly.
"Father, father..."
"Why......"
Looking at Li Qi in despair, she asked blankly: "Why are you doing this..."
"I, we can start all over again..."
"Only, as long as Dafeng survives, we will definitely be able to make a comeback..."
"You, didn't you plan this way before..."
"..."
Obviously, Li Wutong still cannot understand why Li Qi did this.
The latter had no intention of explaining, he just looked at Li Wutong and sighed softly.
"Oh, Tong'er."
"Dad knows that you have done a lot for Dafeng, for the Li family, and for dad."
"But you have to know that there are some things you can't let go."
"Ning Yongnian will not kill you, but if one day you encounter what happened today..."
"Dad hopes that you will not be afraid of death."
"..."
The father advised his daughter not to be afraid of death, which sounds a bit strange no matter how you hear it.
But Li Wutong burst into tears for a moment.
"Okay, stop crying."
Gently patting Li Wutong's shoulder, Li Qi smiled.
"If you see Wei Changtian again in the future, remember to say hello to him for your father."
"Master Wei has helped Da Feng a lot, and he has done a lot more for you."
"No matter what he does to you in the future, don't resent him... In the end, it's us who feel sorry for him."
"Remember what dad said."
"Also, if possible, I will bury my father's bones in Wanggui Mountain in Jianchang Mansion."
"That's it..."
"..."
After saying the last sentence, Li Qi did not look at Li Wutong who was already crying, but looked up at Ning Yongnian who said nothing.
"What? Haven't you decided yet?"
...
Looking up at Li Qi who looked calm, Ning Yongnian still remained silent.
Although Li Qi has made up his mind to die generously, the choice now still lies in his hands.
There just aren't many options to choose from.
Since Li Qi is not stupid, it is undoubtedly impossible to let him live.
So now we have to either kill Li Qi, take Li Wutong away, and let Dafeng fall into a "ownerless" chaos.
Either he could control Li Qi, lie to the outside world that Dafeng had agreed to the fifth condition, and force the "script" to continue.
As for killing people and massacring the city at the same time... Li Qi's guess was right before, Ning Yongnian would not actually do this.
Because if Huailing City was slaughtered without Dafeng "taking the blame", the result would definitely be more harm than good.
When the time comes, the people of Dafeng will surely be united by hatred, making it very difficult for them to re-annex Dafeng in the future.
So, what should be done...
When his opponent changed from Li Wutong to Li Qi, Ning Yongnian immediately felt the pressure.
He was not willing to just kill Li Qi and bring him down, so his heart gradually tilted toward the second option.
But at this moment, Li Qi seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and suddenly smiled and said:
"Ning Yongnian, since you are so hesitant..."
"Then let me choose for you!"
As his long sleeves swayed, his right palm swung heavily towards his chest the next moment.
Dozens of pairs of eyes suddenly widened. No one expected that Li Qi would be so decisive and would cut off Ning Yongnian's retreat by committing suicide!
As long as he dies, Ning Yongnian will not massacre the city.
For the sake of the lives of the people in Huailing, Li Qi did not hesitate at all.
"father!!!"
"emperor!"
"emperor!!!"
"..."
In the midst of the lightning and flint, several voices rang out quickly.
Although Li Qi's cultivation level was very low, he was too caught off guard to prevent him from taking action. I'm afraid even Ning Yongnian had no time to stop him.
"Whoosh!"
Several black shadows flashed out from Daning's side, covering a distance of several feet in an instant.
The one rushing to the front was Wu Ding, who was only less than five feet away from Li Qi at this time.
It's just that at this time, the latter's palm was only a few inches away from his chest, so he thought he couldn't make it in time.
Seeing this scene, although Ning Yongnian's figure did not move, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.
Li Qi committed suicide, but he reacted like this. It can only be said that this result was indeed not what he wanted.
But it's too late...wait!
Suddenly, just when everyone thought Li Qi was about to die, the latter's movements stagnated for a moment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This stagnation is quite strange, and it is obviously not Li Qi’s own wish...
Ning Yongnian suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction behind him.
There is no doubt that it is Bai Youheng standing in the darkness.
"..."
"boom!!"
Less than a breath later.
Due to Bai Youheng's sudden attack, Wu Ding naturally succeeded in stopping Li Qi and had already sealed all the latter's acupuncture points.
The other generals were not idle either, and in the blink of an eye they restrained everyone in Da Feng, including Li Wutong.
"Li Qi."
Ning Yongnian breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to the pale-faced Li Qi.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect you to be so decisive."
"But it's a pity."
"Don't you want to trade your own life for the lives of the people in Huailing?"
"Then I just want to show you how people in this city die..."
"Sima Cong!"
"Your Majesty, I am here..."
"Spread the word! It means that Dafeng has agreed to all our conditions!"
"yes."
"Wu Ding!"
"The end is here!"
"Send a message to all battalions! Seal the city gates immediately!"
"yes!"
"..."
After hearing Ning Yongnian's instructions one after another, Li Qi's eyes darkened, while Li Wutong's eyes lost any sparkle.
After going round and round, will Huailing City still be unable to escape the fate of being massacred in the end?
Although the result was the same as her previous choice, Li Wutong no longer thought the same way at this moment.
But who can save Huailing now...
Suddenly, Li Wutong's eyes froze.
Including Ning Yongnian, everyone turned their heads and looked in the same direction.
It was Li Huaizhong who was running in from outside the house, looking extremely panicked.
