The snowflakes were as big as mats and blew down Xuanyuan Terrace.
Wei Changtian dragged Wu Ding out of the execution ground step by step, and stepped onto the street leading outside the city in the heavy snow.
And behind him, no, it should be said that there were more and more Daning soldiers surrounding him from all directions.
Everyone was moving slowly following his footsteps, and the scraping sound of armor seemed to be the only movement left in Huailing City.
Wei Changtian still didn't look at anyone, including Ning Yongnian, who was not far behind him, and Li Wutong, who was lying on the back of a big horse.
But just when he walked out of the market entrance, a beautiful figure suddenly fell beside him in full view of everyone.
Nature is a veiled willow poem.
"Master!"
"Huh? Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to go out of the city to find Zhang San?"
"The slave family wanted to come and go, but..."
Scanning his eyes across the astonished soldiers around him, Yang Liushi's eyes were full of worry: "But the slave family is worried about the young master."
"Why don't you worry? I'm doing very well."
Carrying Wu Ding, Wei Changtian smiled: "Forget it, then you can go out with me."
"Just in time, you can send a message to Zhang San now and ask him if the Tengu Army has arrived?"
"When we arrive, ask them to pick us up outside the South City Gate."
"Yes, I will ask..."
"..."
Surrounded by tens of thousands of people, the two of them could still chat so naturally.
Wei Changtian had a trump card in hand and was not afraid of Ning Yongnian's sudden attack.
And Yang Liushi being so calm can only mean that either she has clearly seen the current situation, or she is not afraid of death at all.
In short, no matter what the reason was, neither of them seemed to pay attention to these tens of thousands of people at all.
But the expressions of Ning Yongnian and others were not very good-looking.
He squinted at Yang Liushi in the distance, then turned to look at Li Wutong.
Ning Yongnian's eyes couldn't help but change slightly, and he already understood the importance of the two women in Wei Changtian's heart.
Obviously, Li Wutong is far inferior to the veiled woman.
However, since Wei Changtian is willing to trade Wu Ding for Li Wutong, it shows that the latter is not without any value.
It’s just...is this really the case?
...
Half an hour later, the south gate of Huailing City.
When the closed iron gate suddenly opened, and the Tengu Army stationed a mile away came into view, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi finally escaped from the encirclement.
Ning Yongnian had just received the news about the sudden appearance of the Tengu Army outside Huailing City, so he was not surprised at the moment.
However, the scene of thousands of ferocious monsters gathering in one place still made everyone who saw this scene shudder involuntarily.
The feeling of oppression is really too strong.
"alert!!"
"Pay attention to protect the emperor!!"
Several loud shouts were heard, and the city was already crowded with people.
At this moment, it is roughly estimated that at least 50,000 Daning soldiers gathered near the South City Gate, confronting the Tengu Army not far away.
If a fight begins, it will undoubtedly be a brutal and bloody battle.
But as for who wins and who loses... Daning's side, which has an absolute numerical advantage, should still be able to win.
"Wei Changtian, I have accomplished what I promised you."
Stopping outside the city gate and looking at Wei Changtian in front of him, Ning Yongnian shouted in a deep voice: "You can change now!"
"Well..."
Wei Changtian had already reached the middle position between the Tengu Army and the city gate. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "What should I do if I suddenly don't want to change?"
"you!"
Ning Yongnian's pupils suddenly shrank, and his dragon robe suddenly fluttered.
But before he could say anything, Wei Changtian suddenly smiled and waved.
"Hahaha, just a joke!"
"Change! Why not change it!"
"Ding!"
As he spoke, Wei Changtian pulled out the shadow nail and drove it into the ground. Wei Changtian continued to shout loudly:
"Ning Yongnian, I am the most fair and trustworthy person."
"This place happens to be in the middle of your army and mine. I will wait here. You will also send someone to send Li Wutong over. After the exchange is completed, we will each return to our own armies!"
"No one takes advantage!"
"how?"
"..."
The fairest and most trustworthy.
There is no doubt that no one will believe Wei Changtian's lies, but there is really no good solution at the moment.
After all, at this time, there was no third party that both parties could trust to act as an intermediary, so this was the only way to solve the problem.
"Can."
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Yongnian nodded lightly and looked at Li Huaizhong beside him.
Although the latter felt a hundred reluctances in his heart, he did not dare to show it on the surface. He lowered his head and said yes before lifting Li Wutong off his horse.
Taking advantage of this time, Wei Changtian whispered to Yang Liushi:
"You go back."
"Sir, I'll do it."
Biting her lip, Yang Liushi also lowered her voice: "Ning Yongnian agreed so readily. I'm afraid there is fraud in it. You can't take this risk!"
"You come? If there is a scam that even I can't deal with, how can you deal with it?"
Wei Changtian smiled: "I don't want to hook you up just because of Li Wutong. Be obedient and go back."
"..."
The cold wind blew through her hair, and Yang Liushi neither spoke nor moved, actually acting so stubbornly for the first time.
Wei Changtian knew what she was worried about, so he sighed and spoke his thoughts truthfully.
"Do not worry."
"No matter what happens, I will definitely take care of my own life first."
"The second is to kill Wu Ding, and the last is to protect Li Wutong."
"So you don't have to worry about my safety."
"Really, I didn't lie to you..."
"..."
He looked at the long knife stuck diagonally on the ground, and then at the countless light spots on the opposite side pointing this way.
Yang Liushi lowered her head slightly, as if she was finally persuaded.
"Sir, you must be more careful."
"If you die, then the slave family will not be alive either."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Looking dumbfounded at Yang Liushi, who didn't seem to be joking, Wei Changtian pretended to be relaxed and urged: "You can't die, go back quickly."
"Um."
This time Yang Liushi didn't say anything more, nodded and turned around and walked towards the Tengu Army's formation.
The location of the two of them was almost a hundred feet away from the Tengu Army and the South City Gate, neither too close nor too far.
Therefore, Yang Liushi quickly stood next to Du Chang and Zhang San, and then looked over intently.
Wei Changtian looked at her from afar and then looked away, turning his attention to Li Huaizhong who was walking towards him step by step.
The latter walked very slowly, dragging Li Wutong with his left hand and exposing his right hand outside his sleeve, as if he wanted to prove that he was not playing any tricks.
Behind him, Ning Yongnian was still standing there, his expression unrecognizable.
Watching Li Huaizhong slowly approach, Wei Changtian's body did not move, but his brain was running rapidly.
Indeed, as Yang Liushi said, Ning Yongnian agreed so readily that it was difficult not to guess that there was fraud.
But where is this "fraud"?
Let Li Huaizhong take the opportunity to attack him?
Or kill Li Wutong in the moment of exchange and disgust yourself?
Or maybe there is some powerful prop hidden in Li Wutong's body, and it will be detonated and kill him when the time comes?
The speculation in his mind became more and more outrageous, and Wei Changtian finally stopped thinking about these useless things.
You will know this kind of thing if you ask.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian immediately condensed his voice into a line and sent a sentence into Li Huaizhong's ears.
