Chapter 377: Dew falls to the ground
What is the way of heaven?
The "Tao Te Ching" says, "There is a thing that is mixed and formed before the heaven and the earth. It is silent and lonely, independent and unchanging, and it goes around without end. It can be the mother of the world. I do not know its name, but I will call it Tao and give it a name of Da."
To put it simply, the Way of Heaven is actually the natural law, or the cosmic law, which can never be fully understood but exists in reality.
As a "person" endowed with this power of rules, the Son of Heaven is naturally not just luckier than ordinary people.
They should have the power to be infinitely close to the "rules" in at least one aspect.
For example, Yunlian, who could trigger thunder from the sky and destroy the Tianluo Sect’s mountain gate overnight.
For example, Shen Ran, who can speak eloquently and surpassed Su Wu in poetry at the Chunlong Poetry Conference.
For example, there is Bai Youheng, who can capture people's souls and even "massacre" an entire city every sixty years.
Another example is Ning Yongnian, who could trap the entire Yuanzhou City by himself . Unlike the previous three, Wei Changtian had never seen Ning Yongnian's supernatural power given by the Heavenly Dao.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he has always ignored such a "variable".
Of course, no matter whether Wei Changtian ignored it or not, he could not guess Ning Yongnian’s next move.
And to be fair, he has done everything he can regarding the matters of Yanluo and Yuanzhou.
However, under the current circumstances, it is difficult for Wei Changtian to change what is about to happen.
There was no item in the system that could allow him to reach Yuanzhou City, thousands of miles away, within six hours.
There is no prop that can break the "wall" that blocks the life path of millions of people.
If it were Xiao Feng, he might still be looking forward to the "turn of events" that is likely to occur.
And now. It’s Si time.
Meng Shi, who had been bombarding the "Dragon Locking Formation" from all angles for half an hour, finally received the latest instructions from Feng Yuan -
The news of the "massacre" was completely blocked, Bai Youheng was searched for in the city at all costs, and he was killed immediately.
Noon.
All the Tongzhou Society members far away in the capital of Daning simultaneously received an order that shocked them to the extreme:
Use all possible means and force to try to assassinate Ning Yongnian before midnight tonight.
Wei time.
Without any warning, the 400,000-man army stationed in Feng County received an order directly issued by the commander, Wu Ding.
The entire army prepared their weapons and immediately broke camp and marched westward.
Li Qi, Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian all did everything they could.
As for the result Shen time.
After an hour of preparation, the 400,000 Daning troops finally left Feng County more than a month later and advanced towards Yuanzhou City like a torrent.
Most of the soldiers in the army only thought that they were going to counterattack Yuanzhou City, and they didn't know that their goal this time was far more than just one city or one place.
The place they were ultimately going to was Fengyuan.
You hour.
Including the generals of each state, deputy generals in the army, and military governors, a total of twelve high-ranking members of the Daning Army who secretly pledged allegiance to different "big men" have received orders to assassinate Ning Yongnian.
However, although everyone knew that the latter was in Yuanzhou at the moment, no one knew where Ning Yongnian was exactly.
We don't even know where he is, let alone the assassination.
The hour of Xu.
The chaos in Yuanzhou City lasted for a whole day.
Ordinary people had no idea what was happening, and even most of the Dafeng soldiers did not know what was happening.
They just took Bai Youheng's portrait and turned Yuanzhou City almost upside down.
During this process, hundreds of people were wrongly killed simply because they looked a bit like Bai Youheng, but the real culprit was never found.
As the night gets darker, the difficulty will increase.
Until there is absolutely no hope.
The hour of Hai.
There is only one hour left until July 15th.
Today, the eleventh secret report from Yuanzhou City was sent to Li Qi, and it was also the last secret report . Outside Fengyuan City.
The night was as usual, with a refreshing breeze.
Nearly a thousand guards armed with long spears were protecting dozens of makeshift tents. The faintly visible flag with the word "Feng" attracted the "refugees" not far away to watch.
According to the original plan, Li Qi, Wei Changtian and others should have stayed overnight in a palace several dozen miles away after leaving the city.
But now that this has happened in Wonju, I’m afraid no one will be in the mood to go to the palace to “enjoy life”.
"well"
Looking at Li Qi, who was shaking while holding the secret letter, Wei Changtian sighed deeply, knowing that the content of the letter should not be much different from the previous ones.
The only way to break the deadlock is to kill Bai Youheng or Ning Yongnian before midnight.
However, up to this moment, neither of these has been achieved.
"Your Majesty, what's the situation?"
Although he had already guessed the result, Wei Changtian still asked again unwillingly.
Li Qi remained silent and slowly sat down on a wooden chair carved with a flying dragon pattern.
This was the first time Wei Changtian saw him sit down since this morning.
“.”
He shook his head, took a step closer, and bent down to pick up the secret letter that had fallen to the ground.
As expected, Bai Youheng has still not been found.
However, at the end of the letter this time, Meng Shi did not ask again if there were any other solutions as he did before, but asked another question:
Should we continue to hide the truth of the impending death of the 2.5 million people in Wonju City?
“.”
Looking at this last question, Wei Changtian remained silent for a long time.
At this time, Li Qi slowly closed his eyes.
He seemed very tired, too tired to think about anything anymore.
"Master Wei, you are the one who decides this matter."
"I want to take a break."
“.”
After taking a deep look at Li Qi, Wei Changtian nodded slightly.
He turned and walked out of the tent, stopping in front of the herald who had been waiting outside.
The night sky is dotted with stars and there are faint clouds.
Wei Changtian hesitated for a long time.
From a "humanitarian" perspective, he should let everyone know what they are about to face, even death.
At least this way they will have some time to say goodbye to their families or take another look at what the world looks like.
But "tell General Meng to continue to block the news until everything is over."
“.”
"yes."
After uttering a word with great difficulty, the messenger quickly turned around and ran away.
Wei Changtian stood there for a while and did not go back to the tent to disturb Li Qi. Instead, he slowly walked towards Chu Xianping, Li Wutong and others who were gathered not far away.
"Young Master!!!"
Li Wutong, who had already burst into tears, stumbled over and her tears soaked Wei Changtian's clothes in an instant.
From the latter's expression, she had already seen the result.
"Sir, why?"
"Why."
“.”
It’s hard to tell what Li Wutong is asking at this moment.
The question is why Ning Yongnian would be so unscrupulous?
Or ask why he and Li Qi couldn't stop all this from happening?
Wei Changtian didn’t know and couldn’t give an answer.
He gently patted the trembling back and looked up at Chu Xianping.
The latter did not say anything, but just shook his head silently, indicating that there was no progress at all on the Tongzhou Club side.
It can be seen that Chu Xianping was also in a very low mood at this time.
Although he had helped Wei Changtian solve countless problems before, he was ultimately powerless this time.
“.”
"dumb!"
"Dumb! Dumb!"
In the distance, the cry of jackdaws could be heard.
The osmanthus flowers outside Fengyuan City seemed to bloom a little early this year. A gust of wind brought a faint osmanthus fragrance.
Above our heads, the vast sky and countless stars sparkle with infinite mystery and reverie. They ignore each other and don't look at each other, but just rise when they should rise and set when they should set.
Then, a drop of dew fell to the ground.
It's midnight.
