Chapter 566 Half the fame, wind and snow over thousands of mountains (2)
At Haishi, on a low hill outside Huailing City.
The night was a bit white, the stars were like broken jade, and the full moon was thin and bright.
Qin Zhengqiu and Hui'an were already waiting at the foot of the mountain, while Xu Suisui, Xu Quan and Shen Ran were still walking down the mountain.
"Little sister, Ning Yongnian just ordered the sealing of Huailing City."
Xu Quan turned to look at Xu Suisui and whispered: "I'm afraid he is planning to use the lives of the people in the city as a bargaining chip."
"..."
Xu Suisui paused for a moment, seemingly stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"I see."
"Brother, please go first. I have something I want to talk to Mr. Shen alone."
"good."
After glancing at Shen Ran whose expression changed slightly, Xu Quan didn't say much, quickened his pace and quickly disappeared at the end of the mountain road.
And it wasn't until his figure completely disappeared that Xu Suisui asked softly:
"Mr. Shen, you should know what I want to say to you."
It's not a question, it's not a test.
Xu Suisui's voice was very soft, and there was no more emotion in it except a little helplessness.
The footsteps of the two people echoed in the forest, and Shen Ran's answer was neither fast nor slow.
"Teacher, students don't know."
"But you should know..."
Xu Suisui turned to look at Shen Ran with a sincere expression: "Mr. Shen, I'm not blaming you for anything, I just didn't think of it."
"I understand that you have to consider Kuixing Academy and Dali, and I also understand that you must have your own difficulties."
"What's more, Wei Changtian and I are not enemies in the first place, we are not now, and we will not be in the future."
"So I just want to hear the truth from you, okay?"
"..."
"The students still don't know what the teacher is asking."
Shen Ran's voice was obviously slightly delayed this time, but his expression was truly confused.
"I hope the teacher will make it clear that students will answer truthfully."
"Do I have to say it clearly..."
Xu Suisui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, then I'll ask you."
"Did you tell Wei Changtian in advance about our robbery of the law field to rescue Li Qi?"
"no."
Unexpectedly, Shen Ran gave the answer without any hesitation, as if he had expected Xu Suisui to ask this.
"Teacher, the students have also had doubts about this matter for a long time. They feel that one of us should have Mr. Wei's detailed work."
"But teacher, please believe the students, this matter was definitely not done by the students!"
"Is it?"
Looking at Shen Ran with a serious expression, Xu Suisui couldn't help but be stunned.
Because the former's look is so real that it doesn't look like he's pretending.
But who could it be if it wasn't Shen Ran?
Qin Zhengqiu?
impossible.
Xu Quan?
Even more impossible.
Hui An?
If it really wasn't Shen Ran, then it could only be Hui An.
But Wei Changtian had only met Hui'an once before, and he had not yet traveled through time at that time. There was no way he could have laid such a hook so far in advance.
Since it's impossible... So Wei Changtian was just adapting to the situation?
He originally hid in the crowd and was not prepared to take action, but when he saw Qin Zhengqiu and Hui An appeared, he immediately decided to "kill someone with a borrowed knife"?
It was only in such a short period of time, how could he have time to make such a plan?
You must know that Wei Changtian shouted "Grandpa, take action" almost the moment Qin Zhengqiu appeared.
"..."
After taking a deep look at Shen Ran, Xu Suisui did not ask any more questions and put the matter in his heart for the time being.
Because this incident is really nothing compared to what is going to happen in the future.
Walking slowly on the mountain road, the roadside is still covered with unmelted snow.
"Master Shen, you have been with me for two months."
"I have taught you all that I can teach you about poetry."
"From tomorrow on, don't call me teacher again..."
"teacher!"
Shen Ran opened his mouth in surprise, wanting to say something.
But before he could speak, Xu Suisui interrupted softly:
"That's how it's settled."
"By the way, I have one last thing to leave you..."
Turning to look at Shen Ran with a complicated expression, Xu Suisui's voice was very soft, but every word she said suddenly caused a huge wave in the former's heart.
"The poem says that the country's hand is nothing but you, but there is nothing you can do if your fate weighs on the head."
...
...
At the end of Haishi.
Ten miles north of Huailing City is Lingbo Pavilion.
Although Lingbo Pavilion has a rather domineering name, it is actually just an ordinary small pavilion.
When the weather is good, the surrounding scenery is not bad, but now it is late at night, the surroundings are completely dark, and nothing can be seen clearly.
However, although there is no sight in the eyes, there are sounds in the ears.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The sound of horse hooves came from the south and stopped in the distance.
Ning Yongnian stepped off the carriage and looked at the small pavilion with candlelight in the distance. Behind him, more than a thousand soldiers were silent.
It's not just him.
At this moment, Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui had arrived near Lingbo Pavilion on time and were standing on the other two dirt roads waiting for the arrival of midnight.
Three people, three roads, three directions.
All this may be intentional by Xu Suisui, or it may just be a coincidence.
But no matter what, these three roads will eventually intersect at Lingbo Pavilion.
"Changtian, the people from the other two sides have also arrived."
Beside him, Wei Zhaohai narrowed his eyes slightly and said in Wei Changtian's ear: "There are only three people on the east side, but there are quite a few people coming over Ning Yongnian..."
"Da da da!"
Before Wei Zhaohai could finish speaking, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded again, sounding like they were far away from here.
It seems that Ning Yongnian also knows that if there is a conflict in today's negotiation, these ordinary soldiers will not be of much use.
"There are also three..."
After taking a distant look at the three blurry figures in the distance, Wei Changtian finally determined the number of people coming from the three parties this time.
They are all three people.
This is actually expected.
Xu Suisui must take Qin Zhengqiu and Hui'an with him.
Ning Yongnian's side must be his only two remaining masters, Li Huaizhong and the second-grade general.
As for myself...of course they are Wei Zhaohai and Yu Qi.
Of course, although only three people came from the three parties, the forces behind them were different.
Xu Suisui's biggest supporter at present is Qin Zhengqiu, "the best person in the world".
Ning Yongnian was one of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Huailing City.
He is the entire Wei family and Daning.
Based on this comparison, at least tonight it's hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker.
But "playing chess" is enough...
"Master Wei, the time has come."
Beside him, Yu Qi suddenly lowered his voice and said something.
"Well, let's go."
Wei Changtian nodded and immediately walked towards Lingbo Pavilion in the distance.
Ning Yongnian and Xu Suisui also took steps almost at the same time.
None of the three hesitated at all, let alone waited for others to leave before they left.
They all seemed extremely convinced that what they were about to do was right.
The night sky is like a river, and the bright moon is like water making waves.
In the Lingbo Pavilion, the wind and clouds meet the sharp edges.
In this way, the three people, each representing the interests of countless people, finally got closer and closer.
And as they stepped down step by step, the candlelight in Lingbo Pavilion and the starlight falling from the sky began to tremble slightly.
The chilling feeling has reached its extreme. If you close your eyes while you are there, you can feel that there are millions of soldiers behind everyone.
The cloud flag rolls over the snow sea, and the golden halberd flows into the river smoke.
The beacon fire does not stop, and the yellow sand is hot.
