Chapter 449: Kui Long is gradually exposed
Daning capital, the imperial palace.
It was already very late at night, but the lights in Shiqu Pavilion were still brightly lit.
Ning Yongnian stood alone in front of the window, with several secret reports scattered on the desk behind him.
The battle of Shuzhou officially begins tonight, and he had originally been thinking of waiting for the battle report from Shuzhou.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred on the Fengyuan battlefield first.
Seven unknown second-grade masters suddenly appeared and rescued Li Wutong who was already in a desperate situation.
Ning Yongnian certainly understood what seven second-grade officials meant, so he was extremely shocked when he received the news from Wu Ding.
Fortunately, another secret report received shortly afterwards gave him some relief.
These seven second-grade warriors will only take Li Wutong away and will not get involved in the war.
This means that the Fengyuan war will not be affected too much, and the situation may even become more favorable to them.
However, there was no joy on Ning Yongnian's face at this moment.
Because it was clearly written in the second secret report -
These seven people came here on the orders of Wei Changtian.
Wei Changtian. When this name repeated in his mind again, Ning Yongnian couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
He didn't know where these seven second-grade masters came from, nor did he know why these people obeyed Wei Changtian's orders.
However, what happened this time reminded Ning Yongnian of the previous battle on Yanyun Mountain.
According to Li Huaizhong's description, five second-grade masters who had been hiding their identities suddenly appeared in the world, and they were led by a white-haired man. So, is there any connection between them? Ning Yongnian's strong analytical ability allowed him to guess half of the truth almost instantly.
And he also vaguely came to a conclusion based on the conversation between the seven second-level masters and Li Wutong -
That is, Wei Changtian seems unable to fully control these seven people.
At the very least, Wei Changtian should not be able to allow these seven people to participate in the Dafeng War, or even the Shuzhou War.
Of course, all of this is just speculation, and the truth still needs further verification.
But now that it has happened, he must respond immediately.
"Old Li."
Turning back, Ning Yongnian looked at Li Huaizhong who had appeared out of nowhere and said slowly, "Send a message to Wu Ding to stop attacking the city and let the whole army rest for two days."
"If those seven masters want to take Li Wutong away from Fengyuan in two days and try to contact them, I will think about it again."
"Also, let Wei Xianzhi come to the palace to see me now."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
After bowing in response, Li Huaizhong turned around and prepared to pass on the message.
However, just after he took a few steps, Ning Yongnian suddenly added another sentence.
"By the way, the five second-rank masters you saw on the top of Yanyun Mountain before should be from the same sect."
"Go check these people carefully."
"And that white-haired man, let's investigate him as well."
About half an hour later.
Wei Xianzhi approached Shiqu Pavilion with a calm face, and then heard from Ning Yongnian the news that Wei Changtian was "killing everyone" on the battlefield in Shuzhou.
Previously, the Wei family had always described Wei Changtian as a victim of Ning Yuke's rebellion, and that he was "detained" as a hostage in Shuzhou City by the latter.
But now that the "hostages" have personally gone on the battlefield to kill the enemy, this is undoubtedly a bit unreasonable.
However, Wei Xianzhi was no pushover. The current situation was one of "everyone pretending to be ignorant even though they knew the truth", so he didn't care whether his words were reasonable or not. He just made up an excuse that "my son's family was held hostage by the rebel king, and I had no choice but to be used by him."
Such a statement could almost be called shameless, so Ning Yongnian certainly couldn't help but ask a few questions.
Wei Xianzhi, on the other hand, was determined to stop the enemy with his generals and to block the water with his earth. He insisted that Wei Changtian was forced to do so. Although he was angry at his son's incompetence as a father, he could do nothing to help.
In short, the two of them started a verbal battle over the question of whether Wei Changtian "intended to rebel" or was "threatened and forced by the rebel king."
At the same time, Wei Changtian himself was discussing the next battle with the "rebel general" Liang Zhen.
“.”
The atmosphere in the meeting room was serious, and the positions of the various colored flags on the sand table had been changed according to the latest situation.
In the recent offensive and defensive battle, more than 2,000 Shu soldiers were killed and more than 5,000 were injured.
Although the war losses were slightly greater than those of the imperial court, they were basically in line with expectations.
Wei Changtian put down the battle report in his hand, looked up and asked Liang Zhen, who was wearing a general's armor:
"Uncle Liang, when is the next attack?"
"Yinshi, less than two hours left."
Liang Zhen glanced at the copper clock and pointed to the north side of Guanghan County on the sand table.
"General Han said that the imperial army will focus on attacking the north this time."
"Um"
Nodding slightly, Wei Changtian warned: "Uncle Liang, remember that our deployment must not be too obvious. If others notice anything unusual, General Han might be suspected."
"Of course I know that."
Liang Zhenzheng nodded and said, "I will make corresponding arrangements after the fight begins."
"That's fine."
After taking another glance at the sand table, Wei Changtian no longer thought about defending the city.
The war has just begun, and with an insider like Han Zhao, I don't think there will be any major problems.
But after drinking a sip of water, he suddenly thought of Liang Qin.
"By the way, Uncle Liang, where is Qin'er now?"
"She is in the south of the city. I asked her to take care of the military rations, but she refused. I guess she must have sneaked onto the city wall again just now."
Liang Zhen sighed helplessly: "Well, let her be, I can't control her anyway."
"Hahaha, Uncle Liang, you only have this one daughter."
Wei Changtian laughed when he heard this and said, "Aren't you afraid that something bad might happen to her?"
"What's the use of being afraid? I can't just tie her up with ropes at home."
Liang Zhen shook his head: "Besides, since her last name is Liang, she should also go into battle and kill the enemy."
“.”
Well, you are quite generous.
After complaining in his heart, Wei Changtian didn't say anything else.
He hadn't seen Liang Qin since he came to Guanghan, and he had nothing to do now, so he decided to go see the latter.
He said a few brief words to Liang Zhen, then stood up and left the conference room.
Xu Suisui, who had been waiting outside, was counting stars with a serious face.
"What are you doing?"
Walking to Xu Suisui's side, Wei Changtian looked up along her line of sight and said, "Looking for Earth?"
“.”
Faced with such a joke, Xu Suisui did not answer immediately.
She just looked at the starry sky carefully for a while, and then asked with some doubt: "Wei Changtian, don't you think it's strange?"
"Why are the positions of the constellations in this world exactly the same as in the previous life?"
"What's wrong?"
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "It's the same, so what does it mean?"
"This means that the planet we are on now is in the same position as Earth!"
Xu Suisui's eyes widened as he replied, "But we are obviously not on Earth. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Well"
Touching his nose, Wei Changtian finally understood what Xu Suisui meant.
In the latter's view, their souls should have traveled to another planet in the universe, so they should see a different "starry sky".
However, Wei Changtian knew that they had actually just traveled to a world in a book.
Of course, Xu Suisui has never watched "The Peak of Martial Arts", so it is normal that he cannot understand it now.
But this incident suddenly made Wei Changtian think of another problem, a problem that he had not paid much attention to before.
The question is why Xu Suisui was able to travel to this world even though she had never read the original novel?
