Chapter 415 Li Wutong's Decision
Unlike the short and narrow city walls of the ancient times, the walls of Fengyuan City are not only high, but also extremely wide.
Li Wutong was standing at the back just now, but now he was running towards the front of the battle line.
"Princess!"
Zhu Tianhong was only in a daze for a moment, and the next moment he flashed in front of Li Wutong, trying to stop this extremely dangerous behavior.
But when he saw the latter's eyes full of sadness and determination, he was suddenly stunned.
"Wish Grandpa"
Heartbroken sobs rang out amid the flames of war. Li Wutong pleaded with tears in his eyes, "Let me see."
“.”
Without saying a word, Zhu Tianhong just looked at Li Wutong deeply, and at the same time waved his hand back to block several sharp arrows that broke through the air again.
Then he grabbed the latter's wrist and leaped onto a wooden sentry post in front.
The high platform, which was originally used for viewing, was now empty. There was only a tattered black flag with the word "Feng" standing in the center, and several broken bodies lying in various corners.
“Pah.”
Stepping on a pool of blood, Li Wutong trembled as he stepped over a headless corpse and walked towards the side of the platform.
Stop and look up.
Under the pale moonlight, the panoramic view of the war finally appeared before our eyes.
The vast sea of soldiers reflected in the night, the shattered and endless fields of sword shadows and corpses, the twisted and intertwined fire and blood rain, the dark and collapsed horizon When hundreds of thousands of people crowded into this small piece of land and fought, unless you saw it with your own eyes, no expression can make you feel the despair and shock in person.
In comparison, what Li Wutong just saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
Looking at the Dafeng soldiers who were fighting fearlessly and falling down like straw; listening to their exhausted roars and wails, either determined or unwilling. Her heart seemed to stop at some point.
Everything in sight gradually became blurred, but my breathing went from rapid to firm.
When the mother and child jade in his arms became hot again, Li Wutong suddenly closed his eyes, and seemed to have made some decision in his heart.
She knew that this was Wei Changtian sending a message to her, and she also understood the latter's anxious mood at the moment.
However , after a long time, Li Wutong finally opened his eyes again, and then took out the mother-and-child jade and a small booklet from his arms in front of Zhu Tianhong's surprised eyes.
He opened the booklet, found two words, and mobilized his inner strength to heat the jade in his hand.
The "code" corresponding to the two words was not long. After a few breaths, Li Wutong gently closed the book again.
"Princess."
Zhu Tianhong, who was standing by, finally couldn't help wondering, and asked, "Who are you messaging?"
"My husband."
Li Wutong turned his head to look at Zhu Tianhong and answered with a smile.
Then, a flash of fire appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the booklet was burned to ashes.
"Master Wei?"
Zhu Tianhong knew that Li Wutong was referring to Wei Changtian, but he didn't understand the meaning of the action of "burning the book".
However, before he could ask any more questions, he saw Li Wutong suddenly raised his arm and threw the mother and child jade forward with force.
"this!"
Zhu Tianhong watched helplessly as the small jade pendant drew an arc in the air and fell far away into the chaotic battlefield, where it was immediately submerged by the flashing swords and shadows.
"Princess, what are you doing?"
"nothing."
Li Wutong's expression gradually became calm: "Grandpa Zhu, I think I have chosen the four paths you mentioned."
“.”
Looking at Li Wutong's eyes, Zhu Tianhong understood.
In the night wind filled with the smell of blood, he nodded with a bitter but relieved look: "Princess, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will accompany you through this journey."
"Grandpa Zhu, thank you."
“Hula!”
As soon as the words came out, the brocade dress stained with blood began to bloom in the air like a flower.
She took off her luxurious long skirt and only wore a short black top that went underneath it.
Li Wutong threw her long skirt off the platform, then drew her sword and swung it behind her head without hesitation. Her long black hair fell like a waterfall, scattered by the wind, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers on both sides who were fighting fiercely naturally would not notice these things, but they all suddenly heard an extremely firm and resolute shout.
"All soldiers, listen up!"
"I am with you all! I swear to live and die with Feng Yuan!!!"
"I'd rather die than retreat!!"
Shuzhou City, Wei Residence.
"Young Master!"
When Chu Xianping's voice suddenly rang out, the sound of a distant carriage echoed outside the house. It should be Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao who had just returned from Yingfengsheng.
"Did Li Wutong reply?"
Wei Changtian, who was pacing back and forth in the room, immediately asked, "What did you say?"
"I'll check right now. The princess only replied with two words."
As Chu Xianping spoke, he spread out the "code book" on the table and flipped through the pages quickly.
What a coincidence, these two words happen to be on the same page.
"Have you found out?"
Wei Changtian came over eagerly, but found that Chu Xianping's eyes suddenly became a little strange.
My heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and I lowered my head to look in the direction of the latter's finger.
The third word in the first line - Don’t.
The sixth word in the fifth line - read.
Don’t read “.”
The study suddenly fell into silence, with only the sound of wheels outside becoming clearer and clearer.
Wei Changtian stared blankly at the two small words on the page, and only straightened up after a long while.
"Then send her a message."
"yes."
Chu Xianping didn't say anything more and continued to burn the mother and child jade until the sandalwood in the incense burner burned out and then slowly stopped.
"Sir, there is no response."
“.”
"knew."
Seeming a little tired, Wei Changtian slowly sat down on the chair, responded and gave no further instructions.
Chu Xianping knew that he should be left alone for a while, so he bowed and walked out of the study, ready to wait outside the house.
However, as soon as he stepped out, he ran into Xu Qingwan who was about to enter the house.
"Mr. Chu, is your husband in the room?"
Comrade Xiao Xu had a look of joy on his face, as if he had something good to tell Wei Changtian anxiously.
Although Chu Xianping was reluctant to throw cold water on him, he still shook his head and said, "Madam, the young master is thinking about something now, so don't disturb him."
"ah?"
Xu Qingwan was stunned, and immediately lowered her voice: "What happened?"
"This... is nothing serious."
Chu Xianping smiled and said, "It's just that the battle situation in Dafeng is a little critical."
“Is that so.”
Xu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and looked past Chu Xianping at the closed door of the study.
She didn't know what Wei Changtian was thinking, but based on Chu Xianping's performance, she could guess that this matter should be very troublesome.
After hesitating for a moment, Comrade Xiao Xu suddenly asked softly:
"Master Chu, is this about Princess Wuping?"
"Well"
Chu Xianping was stunned, touched his nose and did not answer.
The two of them understood each other tacitly and stopped talking, and both sighed softly in their hearts.
The meaning of this sigh is different, it contains helplessness and worry.
Just like what Li Wutong said, “Don’t worry.”
It is both a comfort and a farewell.
