Chapter 572 Half the fame, wind and snow over thousands of mountains (8)
I would rather die under the iron heel of the invaders from the four countries than die here...
When Ning Yongnian shouted these words, Wei Changtian's eyes instantly turned to Xu Suisui, who was still standing in the Lingbo Pavilion.
From the start of the fight to now, almost twenty breaths of time, the latter has been standing there in a daze, as if he has not recovered yet.
But Ning Yongnian's shout suddenly woke her up, and her eyes immediately met those of Wei Changtian.
The emotions in their eyes were different, but they both understood the current situation at this moment.
Ning Yongnian's judgment was correct.
Xu Suisui indeed still didn't want him to die, not to mention that he even shouted such a sentence.
Whether these words are truly from the bottom of my heart or just to save my life is unknown at the moment and there is no way to verify them.
In this flash of lightning, Xu Suisui no longer even had time to think about this problem.
Both she and Wei Changtian need to make a decision as quickly as possible, or in other words, both need to make a decision before the other party makes a decision——
Do you want to "kill" the other party?
...
The snow is dark, the flag paintings are withered, and the wind is heavy with the sound of drums.
In the distance, the crowded and dull sound of horse hooves and war drums could be heard. It was unclear whether it was the Daning army or the Tengu army.
Xu Suisui and Wei Changtian only looked at each other for a moment, but time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around them became slow.
They definitely don't want to actually kill each other, but decide whether to change the current situation by "killing" the other party.
It has to be said that Ning Yongnian made the right bet in his final struggle.
Xu Suisui does have the ability to turn the tide of the war.
Similarly, Wei Changtian also has the ability to prevent her from turning the tide of the war.
Right now, both of them have enough system points.
Therefore, Xu Suisui only needs to use a divine strike to throw at Wei Changtian, and the latter can only use a pure jade pendant to save his life.
After the Qing Jue Jade Pendant is triggered, Wei Changtian will be teleported outside the battlefield, and Ning Yongnian will naturally be able to survive because of this.
And if Xu Suisui feels that it is not safe, she can even use another divine strike to kill Wei Zhaohai or any other second-level master...
In short, as long as she wanted to, it would not be difficult to protect Ning Yongnian.
But as mentioned before, this depends on Wei Changtian's attitude.
Xu Suisui can change the divine strike, and Wei Changtian can do the same.
Even the latter doesn't even need a divine strike at all, and can "kill" the former with just a casual knife.
This is still the case when Xu Suisui is wearing the Qingjue Jade Pendant.
If she had not exchanged the jade pendant in advance, with her ordinary reaction speed, she might not have had time to exchange the jade pendant immediately after Wei Changtian made his move, and would have been killed.
Therefore, from Xu Suisui's point of view, the best thing she can do at this moment is to give Wei Changtian a Divine Strike Talisman without hesitation.
But the figure in Lingbo Pavilion struggled for a moment.
No one knows what the reason for this moment of struggle is.
Maybe Xu Suisui didn't want to waste system points on "cannibalism". After all, he had a divine strike and Wei Changtian had a pure jade pendant, which added up to a thousand points.
In order to protect Ning Yongnian, a thousand points were wasted. This does not look like a good deal.
However, judging from the short thinking time, which was almost as short as the blink of an eye, Xu Suisui most likely did not expect so much.
Therefore, the reason why she did not move may simply be that she did not want to take action against Wei Changtian...
In short, no matter what the reason was, Xu Suisui still took no action.
But Wei Changtian on the other side did not hesitate at all. Almost the moment Ning Yongnian shouted those words, he asked coldly:
"Do you have the Qingjue Jade Pendant on you?"
"..."
"have......"
His eyes suddenly widened, and Xu Suisui subconsciously gave the answer.
Then, she saw a golden sword light that stopped in an instant, and then struck her chest.
"boom!!!"
"call!"
The familiar green mist suddenly appeared, billowing in the Lingbo Pavilion and submerging Xu Suisui's figure.
The latter had already experienced this kind of thing once outside Guanghan City, so he was not panicking at the moment.
She just stared at Wei Changtian blankly, everything in her sight began to blur, until only the ruthless sword light remained.
It was obvious that Wei Changtian did not want to kill him, otherwise he would not have asked that question.
So he just didn't want to prevent him from killing Ning Yongnian.
But......
But why didn't he just ask himself if he would save Ning Yongnian...
If he asked, I would definitely tell him no...
Does he still not believe in himself...
With doubts and a trace of pain, Xu Suisui disappeared into Lingbo Pavilion.
When Ning Yongnian saw this scene, his body trembled suddenly.
The last straw fell to the bottom of the lake, and he knew he would not survive.
Then, resistance loses its meaning.
"Pfft!"
A long knife stabbed into his left arm, causing blood to burst out.
Then the right arm, left leg, right leg...
The moment Ning Yongnian gave up resistance, more than a dozen long knives mercilessly pierced various parts of his body, but only avoided the vital part.
Wei Zhaohai's figure flashed upon seeing this, and the next second he came to the man with his eyes closed.
Without any hesitation, he immediately stepped down.
"boom!!"
The tattered dragon robe was smashed into the ground, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
The sand turned like waves, and the strong wind sounded like thunder.
There was heavy snow in the sky, and when the snowflakes fell on Ning Yongnian, they turned into blood, mixed with dust, and stained the earth red.
...
Suddenly, the sounds of fighting around him stopped, and the world returned to silence.
The emperor who once stood above thousands of people and had the ambition to unify the world was now trampled on by others... Looking at this scene, Wei Changtian's mood was unspeakably complicated.
He slowly walked to Ning Yongnian, looked up at the yellow dragon roaring and tumbling in the night sky, and then looked down at the white hair on the latter's temples.
The enemy who had been fighting for so long was finally coming to a fateful end, and Wei Changtian suddenly didn't know what to say.
Is Ning Yongnian hateful?
In order to destroy Dafeng's 500,000 elites, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of more than 2 million innocent people to accompany him, which is naturally hateful.
Is Ning Yongnian pitiful?
He once owned Daning in its heyday, but after all the agencies were exhausted, he lost everything, which is naturally pitiful.
Is Ning Yongnian pathetic?
He gave up everything he could for the sake of the so-called country and the country, even the bottom line of being a human emperor, which is naturally sad.
Hateful, pitiful, pathetic.
These are all correct, but if you put them aside, Ning Yongnian must have had the vision of "creating peace for the world" like Ning Yuke...
Everyone around them who had stopped fighting knew that nothing could be changed.
They stood there with different expressions, all focusing on Wei Changtian.
But the latter just looked silently at Ning Yongnian, who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Nothing has a beginning, nothing has an end.
In "The Peak of Martial Arts", his head was chopped off by Xiao Feng with a sword from above the court.
Now, he was about to be stabbed into the heart by himself outside Lingbo Pavilion.
Although I don't know how Ning Yongnian ends in the novel Xu Suisui has read, I guess it won't end well.
Therefore, Ning Yongnian's death seems to be destined, the difference is just sooner or later.
As for how to evaluate the life of this emperor...
Maybe it’s that sentence——
Half of the fame and fame, thousands of mountains and winds...
"Changtian, they are all here."
Suddenly, Wei Zhaohai, who had been groping for Ning Yongnian for a long time, stood up and handed three small objects into Wei Changtian's hands.
A small arrowhead, exactly the same as the one found on Wu Ding's body.
A small piece of iron with complex inscriptions engraved on it.
There is also an all-too-familiar Qingjue jade pendant.
The three life-saving props, if Wei Changtian hadn't arranged them like this tonight, but only wanted to rely on divine strikes to solve the problem, then there would be a high probability of failure.
But now there are no more surprises.
"Canglang!"
The leaking shadow came out of its sheath and slowly stopped above Ning Yongnian's heart.
Wei Changtian was about to drop the knife, but at this moment, a burst of intermittent and extremely weak sounds suddenly came from his feet.
"Emperor, there is an old locust tree on the north wall of the palace..."
"Tree, there is a private treasury under the tree. The key to the treasury is on the plaque in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After the plaque..."
"..."
The tip of the knife suddenly stopped, and Wei Changtian's eyes widened slightly.
He never thought that Ning Yongnian would say something before he died, but he never expected that this was what he said.
Obviously, there must be a lot of good things in this private vault, and only Ning Yongnian knows about it.
And the latter said it at this time...
"Also..."
At his feet, Ning Yongnian opened his mouth with difficulty, and his mouth was filled with blood.
His left hand moved little by little and firmly grasped the corner of Wei Changtian's clothes, his eyes widening.
"After I die, the generals and soldiers will not massacre the city..."
"I, I just want to use this power to threaten you..."
"Tell Li, Li Huaizhong, let him assist Wen Jun..."
"No, don't bury me in the imperial mausoleum. I, I have no face to see the ancestors of the Ning family..."
"Finally, Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei, I want to ask you something..."
"..."
The emotions in his heart became more and more complicated. Although Wei Changtian did not answer, he slowly leaned down and put his ear to Ning Yongnian's mouth.
Then, he heard the latter's last words in his life in the wind and snow.
"please......"
"One, we must protect Daning..."
"..."
His figure stagnated, Wei Changtian was silent for a long time, and finally whispered the word "good" as the shadow fell.
This answer carried far away in the wind, but Ning Yongnian could no longer hear it.
that's all.
On November 13th of the first year of Taichu, Ning Yongnian, the emperor of Daning, was buried in Lingbo Pavilion outside Huailing City.
