A woman as stupid as you is really not worthy of Wei Changtian's violent war...
The wind and candles flickered in the main hall, and the atmosphere was eerie.
After saying this, Ning Yongnian stopped looking at Li Wutong.
The latter was suddenly stunned.
If just now her heart was full of regret for being ashamed of Wei Changtian, then Ning Yongnian's taunting words were like a sharp sword, completely destroying her last remaining dignity in an instant.
You do not deserve......
Breathing became extremely difficult, and there was no longer any sparkle in his eyes.
Li Wutong fell into endless self-denial and no longer knew what to do or think.
There is no doubt that she is extremely remorseful at this moment.
But in fact, until now, even though Ning Yongnian, his enemy, has seen clearly that she is not of great value, Li Wutong still does not really understand what is so "stupid" about him.
She just felt that she had done something wrong.
As for what went wrong...
"..."
Looking at Li Wutong helplessly, Li Qi sighed heavily in his heart.
At this moment, Sima Cong, who had been waiting for a long time, finally asked Ning Yongnian softly.
"Your Majesty, do you want to continue massacring the city?"
"..."
"Hold on."
Looking up at the heavy snow outside the hall, Ning Yongnian turned around the screen and walked towards the back hall without looking back.
"Wei Changtian will definitely come to Huailing."
"Hmph, I want to see what he wants to do..."
...
...
Daning Capital City.
Half an hour ago, the Xuanjing Division had officially launched a general attack on the palace.
The sound of fighting and the roar of various giant machines resounded throughout the capital, and the people hid in their homes in fear, not even daring to light a lamp.
More than half a month ago, Wei Xianzhi led people to surround the palace, and after a verbal exchange with Ning Yongnian, they dispersed.
This incident undoubtedly shocked the ruling and opposition parties in Daning at the time, and for a while even a random farmer knew that the Wei family had thoughts of rebellion.
But probably no one would have imagined that in less than a month, the Wei family had already implemented the rebellion from the "idea level" to "actual actions".
This time, things have really changed...
"Old, master..."
In the bedroom of a wealthy family, a lady trembled and asked the middle-aged man next to her: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to the mansion!"
The man looked ugly, took out a long sword from the wall and held it tightly: "Take off the door plaque of our house!"
"Door plaque?"
The woman's eyes widened: "Why did you pick it?"
"Confused!"
The man looked out through the window and said hastily: "Have you forgotten?! That was a word given by the Queen herself!"
"If the capital really falls into the hands of the Wei family, it will no longer be a life-saving plaque, but our life-saving talisman!"
"ah!"
The woman exclaimed and then realized: "Well, just let the servants pick it!"
"Servant?"
The man snorted coldly: "Huh! These sons of bitches have already gone to hide somewhere!"
"Okay, I'll be right back!"
"Don't be idle, think about what else you can't keep at home, and find it and burn it as soon as possible!"
"..."
As he spoke, the man quickly left the room and headed straight for the door of the mansion.
The woman also hurried to a cabinet, hurriedly opened the secret compartment, took out many letters inside and threw them on the ground.
Obviously, this family should have had close contact with the Ning family before, and they were probably staunch "royalists".
But judging from their current behavior, there is no doubt that they do not believe that the capital can be defended, so they have taken the current move of "embroidering the red flag overnight".
It doesn't matter why they made the judgment they did.
The important thing is that if most people think something is about to happen, then it has a high probability of happening.
Just like now.
When the sound of fierce fighting in the palace began to gradually fade away, almost everyone understood one thing——
The palace could no longer be defended, and the capital was about to fall completely into the hands of the Wei family.
The capital changed hands, which was the first time since Daning was established.
...
Wei Mansion.
In the windless and lightless secret room, Ning Wenjun was like a cornered animal, with an angry expression but a hint of fear hidden inside.
His acupuncture points were not sealed, but all the weapons and treasures on his body were taken away.
Of course, he could still commit suicide.
But Ning Wenjun would definitely not do this.
Because he had already vaguely guessed what the Wei family was going to do...
"Squeak~"
With a soft sound, the door was slowly pushed open, and finally there was a glimmer of light in the room.
Wei Xianzhi came in from the door, glanced at Ning Wenjun, who was tense, and put the lantern aside.
"Your Highness, I've been waiting for a long time."
"..."
Ning Wenjun didn't say anything, and he didn't overestimate his ability to fight Wei Xianzhi.
He didn't even curse, he just stared at the man in black robe opposite him without saying a word.
The lantern gave off a faint red light, which reflected in the eyes of the two people, like two groups of wandering will-o'-wisps in the darkness.
"Your Highness, I have invited you to my residence in this way. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for any offense I have offended."
Smiling, Wei Xianzhi casually threw a bloody jade pendant at Ning Wenjun's feet.
"Oh, right."
"The Xuanjing Division has just invaded the palace. Two second-grade elders from the Ning family resisted desperately. In the end, one of them died unfortunately."
"This is his token."
"..."
Ning Wenjun's breathing became slightly faster. He lowered his head and glanced at the jade pendant at his feet, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.
Yes, this is indeed a token of elder Ning's family.
As Wei Xianzhi said, there are indeed two second-level elders in the Ning family.
However, their allegiance is to the Ning family, not to the Ning court, so they rarely show up, and will only take action when the Ning family encounters a big disaster.
The current situation is obvious, at least one of the two elders is dead.
I don’t know if it was Wei Zhaohai or Han Zhao who killed him...

After a long silence, Ning Wenjun finally spoke.
"Wei Xianzhi, even if Han Zhao is one of yours, you should know that the Wei family cannot defend this capital."
"I don't even need my father to lead his army back. As long as several nearby states send troops, the capital will be back in the hands of the imperial court."
"So, I don't understand why you are doing this."
"Your Highness, you are right."
Nodding, Wei Xianzhi did not refute Ning Wenjun's statement: "It is true that the Wei family cannot defend the capital for too long...but the ministers do not have to defend it for too long."
"What do you mean?!"
Ning Wenjun narrowed his eyes: "I didn't understand."
"Is it?"
Looking sideways at Ning Wenjun, Wei Xianzhi suddenly changed the topic.
"Your Highness, do you know who is the real culprit in the Yuanzhou City incident?"
"If you know how, what if you don't know..."
Without a direct answer, Ning Wenjun's tone instantly turned cold: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"It seems that His Highness knows."
Shaking his head, Wei Xianzhi's expression remained unchanged: "Then, Your Highness, have you ever thought about how people in the world would react if the truth about this matter spread?"
"I never thought about it."
When the truth gradually moved closer to the previous speculation, Ning Wenjun tried his best to maintain a cold look on his face, although his emotions were extremely complicated.
"Just say it straight away!"
"good."
"Since His Highness is so impatient, I will not take any detours..."
Taking a step closer, Wei Xianzhi looked directly at Ning Wenjun and said calmly:
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, he has now reached the second level of cultivation. If nothing unexpected happens, he will live for at least fifty years."
"Even your highness, a humble minister, can survive until then and succeed to the throne smoothly."
"But I wonder if Your Highness has ever thought about how many years you can be emperor even so?"
"To put it harshly, your Highness may not even be able to sit on the throne for a day."
"However, now I am willing to help His Highness get what he wants as soon as possible..."
After a pause, Wei Xianzhi laughed softly:
"As long as His Highness nods, the Wei family can help you legitimately ascend to the throne within three days."
