Chapter 512: Ups and downs, joys and sorrows (Part 2)
The bed was surrounded by white gauze curtains that swayed slightly in the wind. In front of the curtains were two floor-to-ceiling screens embroidered with bright peony and ruyi flowers.
The sound of opera outside the house has gradually become quieter. It seems that the last play is about to end, and it will be the turn of new actors to take the stage.
Perhaps Liang Qin was already waiting at the door at this time, preparing to marry her brother Changtian, feeling excited and nervous.
But Wei Changtian was looking at Li Wutong silently and couldn't speak for a long time.
To be honest, compared to Xu Qingwan, Liang Qin, and even Ning Yuke and Lu Jingyao, Li Wutong had not actually spent too much time with him and had not experienced too many things with him.
Therefore, it is indeed difficult to say that there is complete trust between the two of them, especially between Li Wutong and Wei Changtian.
This distrust reached its peak after the seven second-grade masters arrived in Fengyuan.
"Princess."
Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian slowly took a step closer with a complicated expression.
"There is something I must make clear to you."
"The seven masters who sent you to Shuzhou are not actually my subordinates, so it's not that I don't want to help Dafeng, but I really can't do anything."
"They will not participate in the war. All I can do is to ensure your safety."
"Princess, do you understand what I'm saying?"
“.”
His shoulders trembled and Li Wutong suddenly raised his head.
She looked at Wei Changtian, the emotion in her eyes was indescribable.
"Wei, Master Wei, I have never blamed you for anything."
"You, you are willing to save me, I don't know how to repay you."
"It's just that I can't just watch Dafeng fall like this."
"Sir, let me go"
“.”
"Princess, why do you believe Ning Yongnian's words?"
Looking at the stubborn Li Wutong, Wei Changtian shook his head helplessly.
Although he was not particularly clear about Ning Yongnian's purpose, he thought it was nothing more than two reasons.
First.
Now Li Qi is in Ning Yongnian's hands. If he gets Li Wutong, it will be equivalent to holding all the royal bloodline of Dafeng in his hands.
By then, whether it is "eradicating the roots" or "manipulating behind the scenes", Ning Yongnian will no longer have any worries, and can greatly reduce the resistance encountered in the process of taking over Dafeng.
second.
That is to deal with yourself.
Perhaps from Ning Yongnian's perspective, Li Wutong is his weakness. "Princess, have you ever thought about why Ning Yongnian wants to make this deal with you?"
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian took another step forward with a serious tone.
"Besides, have you ever thought that if you just leave like this, what's the point of me saving you?"
"And your father, how do you think he would feel if he knew that you had voluntarily put yourself in danger?"
"One person for one country, if you were Ning Yongnian, would you do such a thing?"
"Princess, why can't you understand such a simple truth?"
“.”
After asking five questions in a row, although Wei Changtian's tone was serious, it could still be said that he was "persuading".
He hoped that Li Wutong could figure out this simple scam, but it was obvious that no matter how he persuaded, Li Wutong, who was now too stubborn, would not listen.
Or perhaps the latter actually understands it all, but still foolishly holds on to that glimmer of hope that doesn't actually exist.
"I-I just wanted to give it a try."
Looking at Wei Changtian with tears on her face, Li Wutong's voice was extremely weak.
She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly and said tremblingly:
"Ru, now I am the only one who can save Dafeng and my father."
"So no matter how small the hope is, I will give it a try."
"Wei, Master Wei, if it were you, you would do the same, right?"
You would do the same, wouldn't you? Wei Changtian could understand what Li Wutong meant.
If one day Comrade Xiao Xu, or Wei Xianzhi, Wei Qiaoling and others were caught in a dead end and he had to fight for the last glimmer of hope, he would do so without hesitation.
But “I won’t.”
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian sighed softly.
"Alas, Princess, I think you still don't understand."
"If there is really any possibility that Ning Yongnian would give up Dafeng because of you, I won't stop you."
"But I can tell you clearly now that the possibility you are imagining does not exist."
"The situation in Dafeng will never change because of you."
"No, it might get worse than it is now."
"Princess, wake up!"
At the end, Wei Changtian's voice became stern for the first time.
But Li Wutong did not change his mind.
She staggered back another step, her back pressed tightly against the screen, still saying the same words -
"What if it's true?"
“.”
This time, Wei Changtian did not persuade him again.
He finally realized that no matter what he said now, Li Wutong would not listen.
Once a person's thinking reaches a dead end, it is difficult to change it because of a few words from others unless he hits a wall.
Since Li Wutong is determined to throw himself into the flame, he can only control the latter temporarily and make plans slowly later.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian moved his left hand slightly, and immediately prepared to step forward to seal Li Wutong's acupoints.
But at this moment, as if he had guessed what he was going to do, Li Wutong took out a dagger from somewhere and pressed it against his neck the next second.
"You, don't come over here!"
“Let me go!!”
"Please! Let me go!!"
“Let me go!!”
There was a mixture of crying and despair in the shout. The tip of the dagger pierced the pale skin and blood gushed out instantly.
"you!"
Wei Changtian obviously did not expect things to develop to this extent. His brows suddenly frowned, but his steps were somewhat hesitant.
Although he is already a third-grade cultivator, his strength is enough to crush Li Wutong.
However, he was not sure if he could control the latter before the dagger pierced his neck.
If the knife was faster, Li Wutong would definitely die on the spot, without even a chance to use the mica to save his life. Drops of bright red blood fell to the ground, and the air between the two seemed to solidify at this moment.
The drama outside the house had completely stopped, and the only sound was the increasingly rapid breathing of two people inside the house.
Staring at the dagger that was stabbing deeper and deeper, Wei Changtian felt extremely annoyed.
This was a feeling he had never felt before.
Damn, Ning Yongnian's move was really amazing! His long sleeves trembled slightly, and his fists clenched tightly.
Then, at a certain moment, Wei Changtian suddenly took a step back.
“That’s enough!”
"If you really want to die, then go ahead!"
"I won't stop you!"
Turn around and open the door.
After Wei Changtian said this, he didn't hesitate any more and reached out to push the door open.
Outside the house, Zhang San, who had been guarding the door, was raising his arm slightly, obviously about to knock on the door to remind Wei Changtian that the ceremony was about to begin.
Unexpectedly, the latter came out at this moment.
"Sir, we'll be waiting for you in the front yard."
Zhang San bowed slightly and hurriedly gave a reminder, then he caught a glimpse of Li Wutong holding a dagger in the room.
He was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "Sir, what is Princess Wuping doing?"
"Don't worry about her!"
Wei Changtian didn't even turn his head, he just walked straight to the front yard.
"Let her be!"
