Chapter 300: What is the price of millions of lives?
Yama Luo For Master Zeng, I killed Yama Luo with one sword.
When Wei Changtian heard Li Qi say these two words, the first thing he thought of was what Old Zhang had said.
He once suspected whether Old Zhang was Zhang Benchu, but according to Qin Zhengqiu, the latter had died in public.
Then he began to suspect whether Old Zhang was the kendo master who killed Zhang Benchu.
But after a thorough analysis, I felt that this possibility was very small.
But now, his pupils suddenly shrank uncontrollably, and Wei Changtian almost lost his composure and asked, "What's the last name of that swordsman?!"
“.”
Li Qi was stunned, and looked at Wei Changtian with some confusion and thoughtfulness.
But he quickly gave an answer.
"My last name is Zhou."
"week?"
The mystery that Wei Changtian thought was about to be solved closed again. He opened his mouth slightly and asked again unwillingly.
"Your Majesty, are you sure his last name is Zhou?"
"Sure."
Li Qi nodded affirmatively, then asked with a smile: "Master Wei, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Wei Changtian took a deep breath and bowed his hands to apologize: "Your Majesty, I just thought of an old friend and I was a little out of control. I hope you can forgive me."
"No problem."
Li Qi smiled and waved his hands. Although he knew that Wei Changtian seemed to know something about the inside story, he did not ask any more questions. He just brought the topic back on track.
"Master Wei, now you should know why Tong'er asked you to come to Fengyuan."
"Since you were able to defeat Meng Shi with one move, I think you will be able to fight that monster as well."
"I just wonder if you are willing to help save the nearly 10 million lives in Fengyuan?"
“.”
finally.
Turning his head to look at Li Qi who looked sincere, Wei Changtian did not answer in a hurry, but quickly calculated all the pros and cons of the matter in his mind.
Although Li Qi has placed himself in a very high position, it seems that if he does not take action he will be disregarding the lives of millions of people.
But in reality, not so many people would die.
After all, if there was really no other way, Li Qi could simply order everyone in the city to move out of Fengyuan before July 15th.
There is even a chance that this work has already begun in secret.
Of course, in just two months, it is likely that people could run away, but most of the things could not be moved away.
The loss of these supplies is secondary; where to put so many people is a bigger problem.
After all, moving the capital is no joke.
The location of the capital is directly related to the country's destiny. It is currently the "Fengning War". If anything goes wrong at this critical juncture, it is possible that Dafeng will be destroyed.
Even if there is no mistake at all, it will definitely cause great damage to Dafeng, let alone maintaining the national war.
Therefore, from Wei Changtian's perspective, Li Qi may care about the nearly 10 million lives in Fengyuan, but he is more concerned about the overall national destiny of Dafeng.
As for whether or not he should agree, no matter whether the monster is the real Yama or the fake Yama, for him it is just a "divine strike" and a matter of 500 system points.
500 system points, almost the price of two Xuan-level magic weapons.
This price is something that even the larger aristocratic families can easily afford, let alone the Dafeng royal family.
To be honest, I don’t really value these 500 points. After all, I used nearly 1,500 points to save Liang Zhen and his daughter.
Looking at it this way, it seems like just a piece of cake.
However , you should know that the conditions proposed by the stronger party in the negotiation are never measured according to "what they have paid".
Instead, you should make your offer based on what the other party will lose if the deal fails.
"emperor."
After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian finally said slowly under Li Qi's gaze:
"Perhaps I can kill that monster."
"But I have one more thing I want to ask your majesty."
"oh?"
Li Qi nodded with a half-smile: "Mr. Wei, you can ask as much as you want."
"yes."
Wei Changtian bowed his head and bowed respectfully again, then asked calmly as if he was bargaining with a vendor in the vegetable market:
"Your Majesty, what I want to ask is..."
"Nearly 10 million lives and the fate of a country, what is the price?"
Half an hour later, a carriage surrounded by several riders drove out of the Dafeng Palace and headed straight for the night watchman's office in the north of the city.
In the car, Li Wutong looked at the silent Wei Changtian. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Master Wei, have you promised your father?"
"Yes, I agree."
"So, what did he promise you?"
"nothing."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "I care about the people of the world, so I decided to kill the monster for you for free."
"What?"
Obviously, this answer was completely beyond Li Wutong's expectations.
She opened her mouth wide and asked blankly, "Really?"
Wei Changtian glanced at her and said, "Princess, what do you think?"
"I think"
Li Wutong replied subconsciously: "I don't think someone like you would do such a thing."
"Then why are you asking?"
"you!"
Li Wutong was instantly furious, knowing that Wei Changtian was unwilling to tell him.
But this matter might concern her own life, so after trying to adjust her mentality for a long time, she once again asked in a low voice with grievance: "Master Wei, can you tell me, does this have anything to do with me?"
"Yes, there is." Wei Changtian answered quickly this time.
"ah?"
A blush flew up her cheeks, and Li Wutong's little face suddenly turned the same color as an apple. It was unclear whether she was embarrassed or annoyed, or both.
But before her rich psychological activities were over, she heard Wei Changtian continue:
"The condition for me to kill this monster is that your father never marries you to me."
“.”
"Wei Changtian! Who wants to marry you?!"
"You, you, you bully me! You bastard!!!"
An extremely indignant shout came from the carriage, and floated clearly and loudly into the ears of several men standing at the gate of the night watchman's office.
One of them took a step forward with a strange expression, approached the leader and whispered:
"Master Pei, this is the voice of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Just pretend you didn't hear it!"
The man in black clothes with gold embroidery had a serious expression and shouted:
"Young Master Wei is from the Xuan Jing Division. When we see him later, we must all be alert. We must not offend Young Master Wei, but at the same time, we must show our demeanor as night watchmen!"
"yes!"
Everyone obeyed the order in unison, but some people still reminded again with concern:
"Sir, the princess just shouted..."
"It's strange to see something strange!"
The man glared and said, "Master Wei and the Princess are not reckless men like you who only know how to kill people!"
"It's perfectly normal for men and women to occasionally have this kind of interest!"
"ah!"
After the man's guidance, everyone suddenly understood.
"Isn't this called beating, beating?"
"Flirting!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"So this is what flirting is all about!"
"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess scolded him so harshly, I think she must be deeply in love with Master Wei."
"That makes sense! It really makes sense!"
