Chapter 448 Misunderstanding
The air surged, and Liang Chen fell down.
In the dead of night, everything was silent, except for the tense atmosphere inside and outside the Shiqu Pavilion.
“Clang clang!”
Outside the palace, more and more guards armed with swords and spears surged in. Zhu Tianhong and Meng Shi also flashed in front of Li Wutong, staring at the seven people opposite with gloomy faces.
Of course, they could not be their opponents, but they would never allow the princess of Dafeng to be taken away from Fengyuan without any explanation.
From someone they thought was their lifeline, to a "robber" who attempted to "kidnap" Li Wutong. When the grey-robed old man stated the real purpose of their trip in an unquestionable manner, the despair in everyone's hearts was even greater than before these seven people appeared.
Yes, if Li Wutong was taken to Shuzhou, the latter could indeed survive.
But Li Qi is critically ill, Li Wutong escapes, if there is no royal blood left in Dafeng, then why do all the soldiers need to continue to resist? This is equivalent to pressing the fast-forward button for the demise of Dafeng, and it directly determines the final fate of these people.
Therefore, they naturally could not hope that Li Wutong would leave Fengyuan.
However, as the grey-robed old man said, facing seven second-rank masters who could almost overthrow a country's regime, how could they stop them? "."
With feelings of great conflict and despair, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Wutong.
Because now she is the only one who can resolve this crisis.
Li Wutong, who was the focus of everyone's attention, finally raised his head with difficulty after being silent for a while, and asked a question to the nearly one hundred court officials who were still kneeling on the ground.
"Who among you is Young Master Wei's man?"
“.”
Who is Wei Changtian's man? Such a question seemed a bit confusing at first, but everyone immediately understood what Li Wutong was going to do.
She wanted to bypass these seven masters and talk directly to Wei Changtian.
In fact, if Li Wutong had not thrown away the mother and child jade, she could have contacted Wei Changtian directly now.
But “If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place”. Since the mother and child jades are gone, Li Wutong can only hope to contact the latter through the spies Wei Changtian planted in Dafeng.
She knew that Wei Changtian must have someone in the court, otherwise he would not have known so much about Li Qi's affairs.
But now several breaths have passed, and no one has responded.
“.”
Li Wutong smiled sadly and didn't ask any more questions.
Because she knew that it was impossible for her to ask anything.
Looking at the gray-robed old man with a calm expression not far away, she said to Zhu Tianhong and Meng Shi with a bit of exhaustion: "Grandpa Zhu, General Meng, let the guards disperse."
"Princess! You!"
Zhu Tianhong's face changed and he was about to say something, but Li Wutong shook his head and interrupted him: "Grandpa Zhu, I believe in Master Wei, he will definitely explain it to me."
"Oh, okay."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Tianhong sighed and stopped talking.
Li Wutong then shifted his gaze to the old man in gray robe.
"Senior, could you please wait a few more days?"
"I want to clarify this matter with Master Wei first."
"If Master Wei doesn't send you any new orders by then, I will go to Shuzhou with you. Is that okay?"
“.”
With his brows slightly furrowed, the old man in gray robe thought about Li Wutong's suggestion for a moment.
In his opinion, even if Li Wutong contacted Wei Changtian, there would be only two possible results -
Either the order remains unchanged, or they still want to take Li Wutong away by force.
Or just let Li Wutong stay in Fengyuan and the mission be accomplished.
As for things like "helping Dafeng fight", it is simply impossible.
"Since you said so, Princess, I can do it."
After figuring out the key points, the gray-robed old man did not continue to be aggressive, but simply added a time limit to the process.
"Two days."
"Princess, we will wait two more days in Fengyuan."
"If we have not received new orders in two days, then I hope the princess will not forget her promise."
“It’s natural.”
Nodding solemnly, Li Wutong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the officials in the hall again, then waved her hand gently.
"That's it, all of you go down."
"yes"
After a few breaths, nearly a hundred court officials got up from the ground, and then left the Tianlu Hall one after another with different thoughts.
For most people, what they were thinking at this moment was whether Wei Changtian would let these seven masters stay and help Dafeng overcome this life-and-death crisis.
However, some people had different ideas.
Half an hour later.
Two Dafeng officials of relatively low status each heated the mother-and-child jade in their hands in a dark room.
And if the signals sent by the mother and child jade can be tracked, then two messages will be seen flying out from Fengyuan and heading straight to Daning thousands of miles away.
One went to the capital.
One went to Shuzhou.
The beginning of the midnight hour.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
Advance at the sound of drums and retreat at the sound of gongs.
When the shrill sound of gongs rang out from the night and the imperial army retreated like a tide, the first attack and defense battle of Guanghan City ended.
It took less than two hours from the start to the end of the fight.
The time was not too long, but it was just right as a tentative attack.
As for the result, it was not much different from the designed script.
Although there were dangers lurking around, the Shu army "barely" managed to hold off this first wave of attacks.
Wei Changtian was very satisfied with this result.
Moreover, he himself fought in and out of the battlefield seven times and completed the task of "intimidate Han Zhao" very well.
“.”
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
Leaping back onto the city wall, fifty blood-stained long swords flew back into the star scabbards one after another under the admiring gazes of the surrounding soldiers.
Wei Changtian imitated what he had done in the TV series in his previous life. He wiped the blood off the last Leaking Shadow Knife with the corner of his clothes in a very pretentious manner, and then prepared to say a few more words to boost morale.
But before he could finish installing the whole thing, Chu Xianping came running towards him from under the city wall.
"Sir, something has happened in Fengyuan!"
“.”
A quarter of an hour later.
Wei Changtian basically understood everything that had just happened in Fengyuan.
Li Wutong's guess was correct, there was indeed a spy he had planted among the court officials.
But the latter is not stupid and certainly would not expose himself under the circumstances at that time.
However, this person also knew the relationship between Wei Changtian and Li Wutong, so he immediately sent a message back to ask him how to deal with the matter.
For Wei Changtian, although he didn't know why Li Wutong didn't contact him directly, he could roughly guess that the former no longer had the conditions to contact him.
Of course, with this spy around, it is not difficult for the two of them to contact each other again. I believe Li Wutong is also waiting for me to send her a message.
But Wei Changtian knew what Li Wutong wanted to ask and what he wanted to say.
She must have thought that she could get the seven second-rank masters to stay and help Dafeng overcome the difficulties, or at least not let them force her to come to Shuzhou.
However, it was impossible for Wei Changtian to meet any of her "requests".
Those seven second-rank masters belonged to Kuilong, and he had no qualifications to command them, let alone directly participate in the war.
On the other hand, he couldn't just watch Li Wutong die in Fengyuan.
So, after just thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian made a "heartless" choice.
"Tell that person not to reveal his identity, and not to say anything to Li Wutong."
Looking at Chu Xianping, Wei Changtian said slowly: "Just pretend you know nothing."
"this"
Chu Xianping was stunned when he heard this, and whispered to confirm: "Sir, do you mean that we will not contact Princess Wuping?"
"What can I say if I contact her?"
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian gently patted Chu Xianping on the shoulder: "It's okay, I will explain it to her when she arrives in Shuzhou."
“.”
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
The night was as dark as ink, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Chu Xianping seemed to understand something vaguely. He nodded without asking any more questions and soon left in a hurry.
Wei Changtian still stood there, looked up at the night sky, and then sighed helplessly.
Alas, I don’t know what Li Wutong would think.
I'm afraid I will misunderstand myself. (End of this chapter)
