The speeding carriage stirred up yellow sand, and Zhang San's voice was loud.
"Master Wei said that we can capture the palace tonight!"
"..."
The closed eyes slowly opened, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi looked at each other for a moment, and then asked softly:
"Where is Ning Wenjun?"
"Has been kidnapped by General Han and taken to Mr. Wei!"
Zhang San replied loudly: "There are also the queen and others, but now they are all turtles in the jar!"
A turtle in a urn...
Hearing Zhang San's rare idiom, Yang Liushi couldn't help but chuckle.
Wei Changtian shook his head and corrected himself helplessly:
"Zhang San, it is more appropriate to use the word "hard to fly with wings" here."
"Yes! Master, I understand!"
Zhang San immediately changed his words: "The Queen and others are now unable to fly!"
"..."
The crescent moon is in the sky, and the yellow sand is rolling in.
The originally tense atmosphere became a lot more relaxed after Zhang San did this.
No longer entangled in the issue of "idiom usage", Wei Changtian paused for a moment before continuing to ask:
"Where's Huailing? Still no news?"
"No! It seems that the last condition has not been agreed upon yet!"
Zhang San replied while driving: "But someone heard the sound of fighting coming from the government office!"
"Fight?"
Wei Changtian frowned and looked at Yang Liushi.
After a while, the two whispered two words almost at the same time.
"Li Qi?"
"Li Qi."
The question comes from Wei Changtian, and the affirmative comes from Yangliu Shi.
"what do you think?"
Smiling, Wei Changtian asked casually: "Do you think Li Qi didn't agree to Ning Yongnian?"
"Um."
Yang Liushi nodded slightly: "That is indeed what the Nu family guessed."
"Ning Yongnian wants to massacre Huailing City just to put the blame on Dafeng."
"And if Li Qi dies, then massacre of the city will be meaningless."
"So maybe Li Qi wanted to exchange his life for the lives of the people in Huailing."
"Hmm...that makes sense."
Nodding slightly, Wei Changtian muttered to himself: "I just don't know if Li Qi is dead..."
"It's hard to talk about this..."
Yang Liushi pursed her lips: "But Ning Yongnian probably doesn't want Li Qi to die like this."
"What's more, the situation in the capital has now reached Ning Yongnian's ears. He may want to use Li Qi and Princess Wuping to negotiate terms with the young master."
"Negotiate terms?"
Wei Changtian sneered when he heard this: "Humph, these conditions are not enough to negotiate with me."
"I've overturned the table. Even if I can't kill him, I still have to let him half-dead."
"..."
"Son..."
Looking at Wei Changtian with a gloomy expression, Yang Liushi hesitated for a moment and asked softly with some confusion: "Actually, the Nu family still hasn't figured out what you want to do."
"Even if the royal family is now in our hands, does Ning Yongnian really care about these people?"
"Man, he probably doesn't care."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "But it's impossible that he doesn't care about the throne."
"ah!"
With a soft cry, Yang Liushi finally understood: "Master, do you want Ning Wenjun to usurp the throne?"
"But will Ning Wenjun agree?"
"Even if he agrees, this kind of thing needs to be justified. At least there must be a reason to say it..."
"Don't worry, I will make him right."
Wei Changtian shook his sleeves and turned to look at the car curtains swaying in the wind.
"Zhang San, send a message to the same boat club."
"Tell them they can move."
...
...
Huailing City, government office.
The heavy snow was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone in the hall was silent.
Standing in front of the open palace door with his hands behind his back, he looked up at the crowded snowflakes in the night sky. Ning Yongnian's expression had changed from the previous ferocious to calm.
To be honest, he hadn't thought about what the Wei family would do while he was away from the capital.
But he really didn't expect Wei Changtian to be so courageous, and he actually wanted to pull the trigger.
And more importantly, Han Zhao is actually a member of the Wei family...
Originally, with Han Zhao and the Imperial Guards present, it should be no problem to defend the palace.
But now the palace must not be able to defend it.
So what is Wei Changtian going to do after the entire capital falls?
Do you want to threaten yourself with people from the royal family?
"..."
Frowning, Ning Yongnian still hadn't figured out where Wei Changtian got the confidence to fight him to the death.
Yes, your Wei family can capture the capital.
But you must know that except for the few state capitals in the south, the other states in Daning are still firmly under their control.
As long as he gives the order, several states near the capital will definitely send troops immediately.
The capital city is not located in Shuzhou in the southwest corner, so wouldn't it become an isolated city by then?
Wei Xianzhi did not have an army under his command. Even if he included the semi-military forces such as the city army and the Duwei Mansion, there were only tens of thousands of people.
And there will undoubtedly be a lot of losses in the process of attacking the palace.
How can these people defend the capital?
He didn't even need to transfer his army back from Dafeng. He could recapture the capital with only the Qinwang troops from various states.
It is impossible for Wei Changtian and Wei Xianzhi not to know this.
They should know very well that although the Wei family can temporarily control the capital, they will certainly not be able to hold it for long.
Therefore, the Wei family will definitely make other moves next.
But, what exactly is this action...
Also, why is he so anxious and angry...
Thinking of this, Ning Yongnian couldn't help but look back at Li Qi and Li Wutong who were lying on the ground.
Could it be...for Li Wutong?
"..."
After pondering for a moment, Ning Yongnian slowly walked to Li Wutong.
He did not relieve the latter's acupoints, but looked down calmly and said slowly:
"Princess, you may have heard it just now."
"Not long ago, the Wei family just captured our capital, Daning."
"I really never expected that Wei Changtian would act like this, but..."
"It can only be said that he was too impatient after all."
"Of course, he has a reason for doing this."
"I guess he did it for you."
"What do you think?"
"..."
Tears filled my face, and my heart felt like it was torn apart by pain.
The regret and despair in Li Wutong's eyes reached an unprecedented level when Ning Yongnian said his last words.
She didn't know what Wei Changtian's real purpose was. At this moment, she just hoped that Wei Changtian wasn't doing it for herself.
Recalling the time when he was in Shuzhou City, he threatened to die.
Recalling Wei Changtian’s words, “Do you believe in me or Ning Yongnian?”
Recalling that I had just agreed to the terms of "marriage"...
Every time Li Wutong thought of a picture, the pain in his heart would become deeper.
She felt that she was not worthy at all and that Wei Changtian did not deserve to do anything for her.
Just like Li Qi said before.
From beginning to end, I was actually the one who felt sorry for Wei Changtian...
The east wind is evil and happiness is thin.
One wrong thought can lead to years of separation.
In the midst of this regret that overwhelmed all emotions and even transcended life and death, Li Wutong opened his mouth tremblingly, and even though his acupuncture points were completely sealed, he still used all his strength to squeeze out three small, almost silent words.
"kill me......"
"..."
After being stunned for a moment, Ning Yongnian suddenly laughed.
There seemed to be some disdain in the smile.
"kill you?"
"Haha, it seems that I was wrong."
"A woman as stupid as you is really not worthy of Wei Changtian's violent war."
