Chapter 456 Friend or Enemy?
A full hour later.
When Li Wutong quietly walked into Li Qi's bedroom and quietly came out, the moon above his head had already moved to the middle of the sky, and the surroundings were silent and deserted.
Ever since Daning called, Fengyuan hasn't been this quiet for a long time.
The five-day ceasefire gave the soldiers on both sides a chance to catch their breath and rest, but it also gave rise to many rumors among the people.
Some people said that the chaos in Shuzhou had caused Ning Yongnian to be too busy to deal with the situation, and that Daning was going to withdraw his troops.
Some people say that Dafeng is losing ground and is preparing to surrender and negotiate peace.
There were also well-informed people who learned about the seven second-rank masters who suddenly appeared and said that Dafeng was ready to fight back and even fight back into Daning in one fell swoop. All kinds of statements were mixed in Fengyuan City, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false.
But no matter what, except for a small number of patriotic heroes, most of the people in Dafeng just hope that the war can end soon.
From the beginning when "the people were excited and would not give up even an inch of the national territory", to now when "it doesn't matter even if we surrender, as long as there is no more war", the speed of change in the attitude of the people of Dafeng towards foreign enemies can be said to be very fast.
This also reflects one thing from the side.
That is, when one's own interests are severely damaged or even one's life is threatened, the enthusiasm for the so-called "family and country" cannot be maintained for too long.
After all, Fengning and Ning are very similar in terms of ideology, beliefs, folk customs, etc., and there are no irreconcilable differences.
In this case, does it matter who the emperor is?
"Da, da, da"
The sound of light footsteps echoed in the corridor. There was no one in sight in the huge palace. Among the swaying shadows of the trees, only the luxurious lanterns lit under the eaves of the corridor kept Li Wutong company.
Different from the tens of millions of Dafeng people.
As the second person to learn about the future fate of Dafeng, Li Wutong's mood at this moment is difficult to describe in words.
She walked slowly and her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried.
But the reason why she cried is still unknown.
Maybe it was for Li Qi, maybe it was for himself, or maybe it was for Dafeng.
"Cough! Cough cough."
Suddenly he stopped, leaned over the stone pillar and coughed violently.
Perhaps because she hadn't slept for five days, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, but her mind was blank.
It was different from the blank feeling she had after she learned of her identity that night, and it was also different from the blank feeling of farewell on the day Wei Changtian left Fengyuan.
This is a kind of despair of being about to lose everything but being powerless to change it.
Because of despair and powerlessness, I can only think of nothing.
Although "not thinking about it" does not mean "it won't happen", it can at least leave Li Wutong with a last bit of brief peace.
“.”
I stood up slowly, and the ends of my hair brushed against my ears, which felt a little itchy.
Li Wutong subconsciously reached back and touched nothing.
The waist-length hair had been cut off half a month ago and buried in the sea of corpses and blood outside Fengyuan City.
Even though so much time has passed, she still sometimes forgets about it.
After all, this is a habit that has been developed over the past twenty years.
Just like this huge Fengyuan city, everywhere is filled with everything that Li Wutong is very familiar with.
And now, they no longer belong to her.
“.”
He took another step and continued walking along the corridor until he came to a private courtyard with lights on.
Looking at the gray-robed old man who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, Li Wutong lowered his head slightly.
"Senior, let's go."
An hour ago.
Just as Li Wutong walked into Li Qi's bedroom, Wei Changtian really found Xu Suisui standing there blankly holding a torch not far from the toilet.
At this time, the Shu army had already gathered at the city wall to prepare for a breakout, and the people in Guanghan City were all hiding in their homes, so her figure now felt a bit "alone".
"No, just go to the bathroom if you want to. Why are you standing here in a daze?"
After complaining from a distance, Wei Changtian quickly walked towards her.
However, it was this sentence that made Xu Suisui's body tremble violently, and even the torch fell to the ground, splashing flames everywhere.
Hmm? Seeing her panicked reaction, Wei Changtian immediately quickened his pace, while his left hand quietly held the hilt of the knife.
"What's wrong?"
Standing in front of the panicked Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian noticed something unusual in the latter's eyes at a glance.
He subconsciously looked in a certain direction, then his eyes suddenly widened, and the next second he pulled out the Leaking Shadow and swung it towards Xu Suisui's neck without hesitation, and then stopped at the last moment.
"Fuck you."
The tone suddenly became extremely cold, and because he used too much force, the blade even left a bloody mark on Xu Suisui's neck.
Not caring about the blood dripping down the blade, Wei Changtian just stared at the woman in front of him, and almost word by word he squeezed out a question from between his teeth:
"Whose people are they?!"
When facing Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian has always been suspicious, wary and on guard against her.
But even in the situation this afternoon, he never questioned the former with such an extreme attitude.
But this time, Wei Changtian really felt a chill from the bottom of his heart as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
Because there was an ancient locust tree not far from the two of them, and at this moment, the trunk of the ancient locust tree was densely covered with dozens of talisman papers with special patterns.
Wei Changtian had seen this kind of talisman paper before.
However, it was not in reality, but [Explosive Fire Talisman: a one-time item, triggered by internal force or open flame, after three breaths, a huge explosion and fire will occur with the talisman paper as the center, 10 points]
10 system points. Wei Changtian had never bought this thing because it was too useless for him. Its power was not even as strong as his current ordinary move.
But when this thing appeared here at this time point In addition to proving that Xu Suisui's system mall had a lot of overlap with his own, Wei Changtian's first reaction was that the former wanted to send a signal to the outside of the city in this way.
And this signal could only mean that the Shu army was about to break through.
So. "You thought I couldn't kill you, did you?"
Looking at Xu Suisui who was still in a daze, Wei Changtian's eyes at this moment were like those of a devil.
He slowly took a step closer and was about to conduct a forced body search, at least to "confiscate" the life-saving items that Xu Suisui might have exchanged.
But at this moment, Xu Suisui, who finally came to his senses, took a step back tremblingly, and then shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Wei Changtian! Why do you treat me like this!"
"I'm helping you!!"
"help me?"
Wei Changtian sneered and glanced at the talisman paper covering the tree trunk: "Haha, is this your way of helping me?"
"I, I"
Xu Suisui didn't know how to answer for a moment, and his expression was full of struggle.
She seemed to want to explain, but didn't dare to.
But Wei Changtian was not going to waste any more words with her. He waved his hand to seal her acupoints, then searched her body and took her away.
But at this last moment, Xu Suisui finally made up his mind.
She stared at Wei Changtian intently, and shouted in a hurried and affirmative tone in the pale moonlight:
"Wei Changtian!"
"We can't break out now!"
"Trust me! Many people will die!!"
