Chapter 405 No one is available!
The decisive battle between Daning and Dafeng has begun, which is not surprising.
What really surprised Wei Changtian was that Li Qi was seriously injured on the first day of the war.
Damn, don’t you understand that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall?
Why would an emperor like you go to the city wall to watch the fun? Wei Changtian naturally understood that Li Qi wanted to boost morale, but you should take protective measures.
How could it be so easy for someone to attack me by surprise?
After cursing a few words in his heart, Wei Changtian began to think about another problem helplessly.
The intelligence said that an unknown second-rank master injured Li Qi. Who is this person?
You know, as the top combat force, the second-grade masters of each country are basically like open cards in their hands. Not only do they know it clearly, but the enemy also knows it.
What are these people called, what do they look like, what is their background, what kind of skills do they practice, what kind of weapons do they use Just like the semi-transparent military forces of various countries in the past, all of these situations have long been clearly understood by spies, the purpose is to find out the opponent's comprehensive combat power and avoid misjudgment when making decisions.
And the current situation could not be more obvious.
The second-rank warrior who took action this time was not within the control of Dafeng.
A master whose background is unknown suddenly appears on the battlefield.
There are two possible reasons for this.
Either this person was hiding very deeply and rarely showed up in public, which resulted in the spies from Dafeng not knowing that there was such a person in Daning at all.
Either this person is the "foreign aid" found by Ning Yongnian, or he was recently promoted to the second rank.
So, who is this person?
How many cards does Ning Yongnian have in his hand that he doesn't know about? "."
With a frown on his face, Wei Changtian held the information for a long time without saying anything.
Chu Xianping beside him waited for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you still going to Datong?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether Datong watches it or not. For now, we should first find out what happened in Fengyuan."
After a short pause, he immediately ordered, "Brother Chu, immediately send a message to the spies in Fengyuan City. And Li Wutong, didn't we leave a piece of mother-and-child jade for her? Ask her about these things as well."
"How is Li Qi's injury? Will he die?"
"If the injury is extremely serious, how many days can he last?"
"How is the war going? Will it be affected by this?"
"Also, ask Dafeng what its next plan is. Will it fight or make peace? Or will it continue to retreat westward?"
"Well, that's all I'll ask for now."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Nodding, Chu Xianping took into account everything Wei Changtian said.
He turned and took two steps toward the door, then suddenly turned back and asked:
"By the way, sir, should we send someone to Fengyuan in advance? If the situation is not right, we can bring Princess Wuping back to Shuzhou in time."
"this."
Wei Changtian tapped the table lightly but did not answer immediately.
Before this, he had always thought that this national war would take at least several months, so he had not considered Li Wutong's safety.
But judging from the current situation, if Li Qi really died, then Dafeng would most likely be defeated rapidly in a short period of time.
And by then, Li Wutong, as the only descendant of the Dafeng royal family, will become a hot commodity.
The Li family must have wanted to take her away and hide her as an important support for "restoring the country" in the future.
Ning Yongnian will definitely find her at all costs, either to completely eradicate this "spark" or to use her to complete his "indirect rule" over Dafeng.
Of course, all of this is just speculation, and no one can say how things will develop.
But one thing is certain.
That is, if such a day really comes, Li Wutong's life will definitely not be easy no matter who is in his hands.
Wei Changtian doesn't care about the fate of Dafeng or Li Qi's life or death.
But he couldn't ignore Li Wutong's safety.
Therefore, it seems that we should send someone to Fengyuan to quietly pick up Li Wutong in advance.
But "Brother Chu, the imperial army is coming, if we make any big moves, it will not escape Ning Yongnian's eyes, so we can only send a small group of people."
"But who should be sent?"
“.”
His brows furrowed slightly, and this question stumped Chu Xianping.
Going to the front line where two countries are at war and secretly picking up an important figure from one side is obviously not an easy task.
If Qin Zhengqiu were still here, it would be a good idea to let him go.
But now there is only one second-grade master in the entire Shuzhou, Qing Xian, and he is also responsible for protecting Ning Yuke, so he absolutely cannot leave.
So it seems that there is really no one available at the moment.
"Sir."
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xianping replied seriously: "I would like to take people to Fengyuan."
"Brother Chu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Looking at Chu Xianping who volunteered, Wei Changtian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "With hundreds of thousands of people surrounding us, we will most likely need to break out by force."
"If you don't have a few top masters with you, you might also be defeated in Dafeng."
"Forget it, I have my own plans for this matter, you go and do your thing first."
“.”
Have your own plans?
Chu Xianping was stunned when he heard this, not knowing what Wei Changtian was thinking.
But he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and left to pass the message to Feng Yuan's spies.
The room soon returned to silence, with only the sand in the copper clock slowly flowing.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Changtian walked out of the room and quickly got into the carriage.
Zhang San brought the whip down heavily, and the horse neighed before heading towards the Xuanjingsi Yamen, which had been renamed the "Ministry of Justice".
An hour later, Xuan Jing Si arrived at Shuzhou branch.
After Ning Yuke proclaimed herself queen, the dynasty's official system basically copied the framework of Da Ning.
However, due to the hasty declaration of kingship, the establishment of many departments contained an element of "opportunism".
For example, the Ministry of War was completely "restructured" based on the previous Shuzhou Army.
For example, the Ministry of Justice simply changed the name of the Shuzhou branch of the Xuan Jing Si and called it a day.
Therefore, strictly speaking, there is no Xuan Jing Si anymore in Shuzhou today, but only the "Ministry of Justice of Shu State".
And now Wei Changtian is coming here to do something big.
“.”
"Master Wei!"
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a gate with a plaque with the word "Xing" hanging on it. Chen Bo, who had transformed himself into the "Minister of Justice", immediately came forward and politely opened the curtain of the carriage.
"Um."
Wei Changtian bent down and got out of the car. He nodded slightly to Chen Bo and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Justice.
"Master Chen, have you found the prisoner on death row?"
"My lord, they have been brought here."
Chen Bo hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice: "Look."
"Prepare a dark room. I need it."
Wei Changtian looked straight ahead with a serious expression: "Take the death row prisoners in as well. No one is allowed to disturb them."
"Half an hour later, send someone in to collect the body."
