Chapter 447 Falling into despair again
Half an hour later.
Outside the city, the fierce attacking Daning army had called back their troops, and the originally fierce battlefield seemed to become silent in an instant.
Not only that, Wu Ding also ordered the entire army to retreat for the first time since the war broke out.
Although it was only three miles, it meant that the encirclement outside Fengyuan City, which was getting closer every day, had finally loosened.
The ones who caused all this, of course, were the seven second-rank masters who suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Yes, one or two people may not be able to influence the course of a war.
But when seven second-grade warriors join the war at the same time, the situation will be unpredictable.
Therefore, Wu Ding, who was horrified, immediately made the most appropriate response -
The entire army retreated three miles, suspended the attack, and sent a message back to Daning, leaving it to Ning Yongnian to decide whether to fight or stop.
Of course, this will inevitably shake the morale of the army.
But Wu Ding had no choice.
Before he figured out the origins of these seven people, he couldn't risk losing the victory by continuing to attack, so he could only grit his teeth and avoid the attack for the time being.
Just like that, hundreds of thousands of people in Daning quickly broke camp and retreated in an atmosphere of depression and panic, without even having time to collect the corpses of their own soldiers.
At the same time, all the civil and military officials in the Dafeng Palace were in high spirits, thinking that the war had finally turned around.
However At the end of the Hai hour.
Dafeng Palace, Tianlu Hall.
"I will never forget the life-saving grace of the seniors."
In the hall crowded with no less than a hundred people, Li Wutong, who had already had his wounds simply bandaged, respectfully bowed deeply to the seven people sitting on his left.
As soon as she said this, all the officials in the room immediately shut their mouths, and even dared not breathe too loudly.
Obviously, this scene is completely different from what it was half a month ago.
The reason why the court officials' attitude towards Li Wutong changed so drastically was, on the one hand, because the latter had indeed shown enough courage in the past half month, and on the other hand, it was because of the seven people sitting here.
At this moment, everyone knew that these people were coming for Li Wutong.
To put it more bluntly, these seven masters were sent by Wei Changtian to help his future wife.
Although no one understood why Wei Changtian could master such a terrifying power, everyone was very clear about one thing -
That is, if there was no Li Wutong, this scene today would never have happened.
After all, Shuzhou is also at war right now and is also in need of manpower.
No one thought that Wei Changtian would be so "dedicated" that he would ignore his own base and instead save Dafeng from danger.
Therefore, Wei Changtian could only do this because of Li Wutong.
And Li Wutong himself obviously knows all of this.
“.”
She shrugged her shoulders slightly as she looked at the seven people opposite her with calm expressions. The emotion in her heart at this moment had reached an indescribable level.
At this moment, Li Wutong just wanted to end the war as soon as possible, cure Li Qi as soon as possible, and then marry Wei Changtian and never leave that man again.
This impulse was so strong that she wanted to rush to Shuzhou regardless of everything.
However, Li Wutong knew that she couldn't do that.
Because she is still the princess of Dafeng and the last spiritual pillar of tens of millions of people in Dafeng.
So she needs to stay and lead Dafeng to win this battle to protect the country.
“.”
Taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Li Wutong bowed deeply to the seven people again.
"My dear seniors, how is my husband, Young Master Wei, doing now?"
"My Dafeng is in danger right now, but I am able to get help from several seniors. I am truly grateful."
"I just wonder if the seniors' coming to Fengyuan will delay the war in Shuzhou?"
It was obvious that Li Wutong was very worried that he would be dragged down by the war in Shuzhou, so he asked this question.
The seven people opposite her looked at each other, and then an old man in a gray robe shook his head and replied: "Princess, I think you misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
Li Wutong was stunned: "Senior, I don't understand what you mean."
"Well, it's our fault for not making it clear just now."
The grey-robed old man looked at Li Wutong calmly, and then calmly explained:
"Princess, it is true that we are here on the orders of Master Wei."
"But we will only take you back to Shuzhou. As for the rest, I'm sorry we can't do anything about it."
"Senior."
Li Wutong suddenly widened his eyes: "I, I still don't understand"
"Well, then I will explain it more clearly."
The old man in gray robe coughed dryly, with a hint of compassion in his eyes.
"Princess, our mission this time is to escort you to Shuzhou safely."
"As for the war between Dafeng and Daning, we will not interfere."
"I wonder if I have made myself clear this time?"
The moon is high in the sky and everything is quiet, except for the sound of dewdrops falling among the leaves.
It was as if time suddenly stopped. Just after the gray-robed old man finished his last sentence, the brightly lit hall suddenly became silent.
Can't do anything, won't intervene.
No one does not understand what these two words mean.
It is precisely because of this understanding that everyone is so shocked.
It turned out that these seven second-rank masters came to Fengyuan just to take Li Wutong away.
As for the life or death of Dafeng, they, or Wei Changtian, don't care at all! "Seniors!"
Among hundreds of stunned and desperate eyes, Li Wutong was the first to come to his senses.
She staggered forward a step, and the next moment she knelt down in front of the seven people without hesitation.
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the seniors, but Dafeng is now at a critical moment of life and death!"
"If Fengyuan City is breached, Dafeng will be destroyed!"
"So, I beg you seniors to help me!"
"No matter what conditions the seniors have, I can agree to them!"
"Yes, that's right! I will send a letter to Master Wei and explain this matter to him clearly!"
“.”
From Li Wutong alone to everyone in the hall.
Within a few breaths, all the court officials in the hall followed Li Wutong and knelt on the ground, shouting "Please help us, seniors."
At this moment, no one wants to see this last straw of life slip through their fingers.
However, the rule that Kuilong's people "cannot participate in secular power struggles" could never be broken just because of their kneeling.
"well"
"Princess, I understand how you feel right now, but..."
With a deep sigh, the gray-robed old man used a gentle internal force to lift Li Wutong up through the air.
"But we really can't help you."
"Even if you plead with Master Wei, it will be useless, so just give up on this idea."
“.”
From the gray-robed old man's perspective, what he meant was that even Wei Changtian could not force them to violate Kuilong's rules.
As for Li Wutong, who had no idea what Kuilong was, she could only understand this sentence as -
Wei Changtian is willing to save her, but he will never save Dafeng for her.
"Why, why?"
When a misunderstanding occurs, Li Wutong inevitably falls into a contradiction.
She didn't understand why Wei Changtian was so heartless even though he sent so many experts.
She didn't understand why Wei Changtian didn't understand that there was no way she could abandon Dafeng and live alone.
"I, I'm not going to Shuzhou!"
Li Wutong raised his head with tearful eyes, trying to use himself to retain the last glimmer of hope for Dafeng.
She stared at the grey-robed old man, clenched her fists and spoke tremblingly:
"I'm the princess of Daebong! I won't leave!"
“.”
From joy to despair and shock, and then to tit-for-tat.
Because of Li Wutong's words, the atmosphere in Tianlu Hall suddenly became a little tense.
However, the old man in gray robe didn't care much about it and just shook his sleeves lightly.
"Princess, Master Wei said so."
"As long as your life is threatened, we must take you back to Shuzhou."
"I don't need your consent for this."
"boom!!"
In an instant, the internal forces of the seven second-grade masters began to circulate crazily at the same time, and the powerful pressure generated even caused the stone pillars around the hall to tremble slightly.
The old man in gray robe took a step forward slowly, his clothes fluttering without wind, and his expression became serious for the first time.
He glanced coldly at the officials who were trembling on the ground, as well as the guards who kept pouring in from outside the palace, and then said in an almost threatening tone:
"Princess, I hope you won't make things difficult for us, otherwise we won't mind taking you away by force."
"Of course, if you think you can stop us, you can try."
"But I'm afraid that if this happens, your Dafeng will probably perish even faster."
