Chapter 467 Moth
You left him in Fengyuan and just left like that.
Under the moonlight, when these words reached Li Wutong's ears, the latter's shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
But she didn't say anything, just bit her lip lightly.
Wu Ding was not surprised to see this, and continued to speak:
"Princess, since you dare to climb the city wall to supervise the battle as a woman, you must not be such a heartless and ungrateful person."
"And now that you are leaving, I think you already know what will happen to Dafeng in the future."
"But what if I told you that you actually have a chance to change this?"
“.”
A gust of wind blew in from the woods, seemingly mixed with the smell unique to the battlefield.
Li Wutong suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise.
Wu Ding's expression also turned serious at this moment.
He slowly bowed to the east, then said sternly, "Princess, what I am going to say next is from the mouth of the Emperor. I hope you can think carefully after listening to it."
"The battle of Fengning has been going on for several months now. The people of both countries have suffered greatly from the war."
"Our emperor cannot bear to see the people suffer this unprovoked disaster again, so he is willing to withdraw his troops and stop the fighting to restore peace to the world."
"Of course, the peace talks involve a lot of things, and the envoys from both sides will choose a day to discuss it later."
"But there is one thing that the princess needs to agree to right now."
After a pause, Wu Ding slowly finished his last sentence in the astonished eyes of everyone.
"Then please come back to Daning with me immediately, Princess."
“.”
The moon is dim and the stars are sparse, and the mountain road is silent.
Including the seven second-grade masters, no one dared to believe what Wu Ding had just said.
It is not difficult to understand why people would react like this.
After all, Daning is now only one step away from conquering Fengyuan, thereby expanding its territory by at least 50%.
But at this time Ning Yongnian suddenly proposed to withdraw the troops. Isn't this like spitting out the fat meat in his mouth?
Can't bear the suffering of the people? To restore peace to the world? Only a fool would believe such words, so Ning Yongnian did this for only one purpose -
Li Wutong.
Just as Wu Ding said, as long as Li Wutong does not go to Feng Yuan, but is willing to hand himself over to Ning Yongnian, the latter can withdraw his troops and cease fire.
For a woman, one can actually give up an entire country.
To others, this matter was undoubtedly too incredible, even absurd.
But Ning Yongnian had his own plans.
In Ning Yongnian's view, Dafeng is now in his pocket and he can take it whenever he wants.
However, the increasingly powerful Wei family and Wei Changtian have reached the point where they must be dealt with immediately.
The thing Ning Yongnian regrets most now is that he acquiesced to the Wei family's destruction of the Liu family and the dominance of the single family in Daning.
Although we cannot make a new choice now, we can still make up for the loss.
After experiencing a series of events such as Ning Yuke's rebellion, chaos in the grain market, and Wei Xianzhi openly challenging him in the court, the emperor finally understood one thing thoroughly -
The key to solving the Wei family problem is Wei Changtian.
And the key to dealing with Wei Changtian. Facing the only son of the Wei family who is always surrounded by a group of masters, acts extremely cautiously, and has the ability to kill a second-grade master, Ning Yongnian is always thinking about what the former's weaknesses are.
He had not thought it through until these seven masters suddenly appeared in Fengyuan.
Yes, Wei Changtian’s weakness is emotion.
To put it more bluntly, she is his woman.
From sacrificing his own life to save Xu Qingwan, to later saving Yang Liushi in Yanyun Mountain, to now sending so many experts to take Li Wutong away. All of these are no secrets, and Ning Yongnian finally came to a conclusion that is basically the same as the fact.
However, it is not easy to take advantage of such a weakness.
Because now all of Wei Changtian’s women are in Shuzhou City, and the latter has long become an iron plate under the continuous operation of the Wei family, and he can't get his hands into it at all.
Besides, Ning Yongnian needs a woman who means the most to Wei Changtian as bait.
For Wei Changtian himself, this person must be Comrade Xiao Xu.
However, according to Ning Yongnian's guess, this person should be Li Wutong.
After all, according to Ning Yongnian's values, sending seven second-grade masters at once and taking Li Wutong away despite being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops was the biggest price Wei Changtian had ever paid for a woman.
Therefore, as long as he has this woman in his hand, he can use her to launch a series of plans and force Wei Changtian to fall into the trap.
But Ning Yongnian was not sure he could snatch Li Wutong away from the seven second-rank masters.
That's why he let Wu Ding say these words at this time.
Ning Yongnian believed that Li Wutong would never be able to resist the temptation of "preserving Dafeng" and would definitely agree to this condition.
As for whether he will fulfill his promise to "withdraw troops and negotiate peace" later,
I will not joke.
I'm afraid only children would believe such things.
The wind blows through the forest, ruffling the horse's mane.
When Wu Ding finished speaking, Li Wutong also tightly grasped the reins in his hand.
Ning Yongnian was indeed very good at judging people, and she really couldn't resist such an offer, even though it was full of weirdness.
Exchange yourself for the entire Dafeng.
This was an extremely good deal for Li Wutong, so she was willing to give it a try even though she knew Ning Yongnian was very likely to go back on his word.
If Ning Yongnian regrets it, then he will die.
But if Ning Yongnian really fulfilled his promise, then "Princess! Don't be deceived!"
Suddenly, the grey-robed old man reminded in a deep voice: "Where in the world can such a good thing happen? Is Ning Yongnian really stupid?!"
“.”
He called the emperor by his real name and used the word "stupid".
The gray-robed old man's words undoubtedly showed no respect or avoidance for Ning Yongnian, but Wu Ding remained calm after hearing them.
He wasn't even worried that the old man's reminder would affect Li Wutong's choice.
Anyone can see that it is unreliable for a person to change a country.
But sometimes people are willing to give up everything for a hope that they know is slim.
Like a moth flying into a flame, why would one be reluctant to burn oneself?
Now, in front of the fire lit by Ning Yongnian, Li Wutong is the moth.
"senior."
With his hands trembling slightly, Li Wutong looked at the gray-robed old man who was staring at him, and made a decision in his heart.
Or rather, she had actually made the decision the moment Wu Ding finished speaking.
"Please tell Master Wei that I am sorry for him."
"Princess!"
The grey-robed old man interrupted with an angry shout: "Why are you so stupid?!"
"You can't save Dafeng! Ning Yongnian won't withdraw his troops! Why did you believe such a simple scam?!"
“.”
His body shook suddenly, and Li Wutong said in a trembling voice as if he was trying to persuade himself:
"Or, maybe it's true."
"you!"
Seeing Li Wutong being so stubborn, the old man in gray robe couldn't help but feel angry.
Wu Ding was afraid that something might happen if he was late, so he immediately took over the conversation and said:
"Princess, rest assured. Your Majesty is a man of truth. Our Majesty will never do something that goes back on his word."
"Since Princess has made up her mind, please come to my side."
“.”
Looking up at the seven second-rank masters around him with different expressions, Li Wutong loosened the reins and let the warhorse slowly walk to the opposite side.
Her eyes gradually became empty, and she was like a puppet watching herself slide into the abyss step by step.
Wu Ding couldn't help but smile, and he greatly admired Ning Yongnian's ability to judge people.
When Ning Yongnian first told him this condition, he felt that Li Wutong would not be fooled.
But now it seems... huh? ! ! "Cangcang!"
Suddenly, Wu Ding's face turned pale, and the next second he abruptly drew the sword from his waist.
Although Ning Yongnian had a good eye for Li Wutong, he did not correctly guess the orders Wei Changtian gave to the seven masters, nor the determination of Kuilong's people to execute the orders.
Since Wei Changtian said, "Whether Li Wutong is willing or not, we must bring her back," they will carry out this order meticulously.
“Bang!”
Just when Li Wutong passed by the gray-robed old man, the latter suddenly waved his hand and blocked all of Li Wutong's acupoints in an instant.
"Humph! General Wu!"
Casually throwing the limp Li Wutong to someone to take care of him at the back, the gray-robed old man turned around and looked at Wu Ding, who had already drawn his sword, with an extremely cold voice.
"I'll say this one last time. Make way."
"Otherwise, you will die tonight."
