Chapter 540 You Are Really Unworthy
Western Desert Gobi.
"Sir, General Han succeeded!"
The galloping carriage raised yellow sand and Zhang San's voice was very loud.
"Lord Wei said that we can capture the palace tonight!"
“.”
The tightly closed eyes slowly opened, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi looked at each other for a moment, and then asked softly:
"Where's Ning Wenjun?"
"He has been tied up by General Han and taken to Lord Wei!"
Zhang San answered loudly: "As for the Queen and others, they are all trapped now!"
Turtle in a jar Hearing Zhang San's rare idiom, Yang Liushi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wei Changtian shook his head and corrected helplessly:
"Zhang San, the phrase 'it's hard to fly away even if you have wings' is more appropriate here."
"Yes! Sir, I got it!"
Zhang San immediately changed his words: "The Queen and the others can no longer escape!"
“.”
The crescent moon is in the sky and the yellow sand is rolling.
The originally tense atmosphere became a lot more relaxed after Zhang San did this.
Without dwelling on the question of "idiom usage", Wei Changtian paused before asking, "What about Huai Ling? Still no news?"
"No! It seems that the last condition has not been negotiated yet!"
Zhang San replied while driving: "But someone heard the sound of fighting coming from the government office!"
"Fight?"
Wei Changtian frowned and looked at Yang Liushi.
After a moment, they both whispered two words almost at the same time.
"Li Qi?"
"Li Qi."
The question comes from Wei Changtian, and the affirmative sentence comes from Yang Liu's poem.
"What do you think?"
With a smile, Wei Changtian asked casually, "Do you think Li Qi didn't agree to Ning Yongnian?"
"Um."
Yang Liushi nodded gently: "That's exactly what I guessed."
"Ning Yongnian wants to massacre Huailing City only to shift the blame to Dafeng."
"And if Li Qi dies, then the massacre of the city will be meaningless."
"So Li Qi might want to use his life to exchange for the lives of the people of Huailing."
"Yeah that makes sense."
Nodding slightly, Wei Changtian muttered to himself: "I just don't know if Li Qi is dead or not."
“It’s not easy to talk about this”
Yang Liushi pursed her lips and said, "But Ning Yongnian probably doesn't want Li Qi to die like this."
"Besides, the situation in the capital should have reached Ning Yongnian's ears by now. He might even want to use Li Qi and Princess Wuping to negotiate with you."
"Negotiation of terms?"
Wei Changtian sneered when he heard this: "Humph, these conditions are not enough to negotiate with me."
"I've already flipped the table. Even if I can't kill him, I have to make him half dead."
“.”
"Young Master."
Looking at Wei Changtian with a gloomy expression, Yang Liushi hesitated for a moment, and asked softly with some doubt: "In fact, I still don't understand what you are going to do."
"Even if the royal family members are in our hands now, does Ning Yongnian really care about them?"
"Man, he probably doesn't care."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "But he can't not care about the throne."
"ah!"
With a slight cry, Yang Liushi finally understood: "Master, do you want Ning Wenjun to usurp the throne?"
"But will Ning Wenjun agree?"
"Even if he agrees, this kind of thing needs to be legitimate, at least there must be a justifiable reason."
"Don't worry, I will make him justified."
Shaking his sleeves, Wei Changtian turned his head to look at the car curtain swaying in the wind.
"Zhang San, send a message to Tongzhouhui."
"Tell them they can move now."
Huailing City, government office.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone in the hall was silent.
Standing with his hands behind his back in front of the open palace door and looking up at the crowded snowflakes in the night sky, Ning Yongnian's expression had changed from ferocious to calm.
To be honest, he had thought about what the Wei family would do during the time he was away from the capital.
But he really didn't expect Wei Changtian to be so bold as to cut off the source of the problem.
More importantly, Han Zhao was also a member of the Wei family. With Han Zhao and the imperial guards, it should have been no problem to protect the palace.
But now the palace is definitely no longer defensible.
So after the entire capital fell, what was Wei Changtian going to do? Was he going to threaten me with the royal family? "."
With a frown on his face, Ning Yongnian still couldn't figure out where Wei Changtian got the confidence to fight to the death with him.
Yes, your Wei family can take over the capital.
But you must know that except for those provincial capitals in the south, the rest of the provinces in Daning are still firmly under his control.
As long as he gave the order, several states near the capital would definitely send troops immediately.
The capital is not Shuzhou, which is located in the southwest corner. Wouldn't it become an isolated city at that time? Wei Xianzhi has no army under his command. Even if the semi-military forces such as the city defense army and the Duwei Mansion are counted, there are only tens of thousands of people.
And there will undoubtedly be a lot of losses in the process of attacking the palace.
How could they defend the capital with just these people? He didn't even need to transfer the army back from Dafeng. He could recapture the capital with only the troops from various states.
There is no way Wei Changtian and Wei Xianzhi didn't know this.
They should be well aware that although the Wei family can temporarily control the capital, they will definitely not be able to hold on for too long.
Therefore, the Wei family will definitely take other actions next.
But what exactly was this action? Also, why was he so anxious to attack? Thinking of this, Ning Yongnian couldn't help but look back at Li Qi and Li Wutong who were lying on the ground.
Is it for Li Wutong?
“.”
After pondering for a moment, Ning Yongnian slowly walked to Li Wutong.
He did not unblock the latter's acupuncture points, but just looked down calmly and said slowly:
"Princess, you may have just heard it too."
"Not long ago, the Wei family just took over our Daning capital."
"I had indeed never expected Wei Changtian to act this way, but..."
"I can only say that he was too impatient after all."
"Of course, he must have a reason for doing so."
"I guess he did it for you."
"What do you think?"
“.”
My face was covered with tears and my heart was torn with pain.
The regret and despair in Li Wutong's eyes reached its peak when Ning Yongnian said his last words.
She didn't know what Wei Changtian's real purpose was in doing this. At this moment, she just hoped that Wei Changtian was not doing this for her.
I recalled how I had threatened to die in Shuzhou City.
Recalling Wei Changtian's words, "Do you believe me or Ning Yongnian?"
Recalling that he had just agreed to the conditions of the "marriage" , Li Wutong felt more pain in his heart every time he thought of a scene.
She felt that she was not worthy at all and was not worthy of Wei Changtian doing anything for her.
Just like what Li Qi said before.
From the beginning to the end, I was actually the one who let Wei Changtian down. The east wind was evil and the joy was thin.
One wrong thought can lead to years of separation.
In the midst of this regret that overwhelmed all emotions and even surpassed life and death, Li Wutong actually opened his mouth tremblingly, and even though his acupoints and meridians were completely blocked, he still used all his strength to squeeze out three almost silent small words.
"Kill. Me."
“.”
After a moment of silence, Ning Yongnian suddenly laughed.
There seemed to be some disdain in his smile.
"Kill you?"
"Haha, it seems I was wrong."
"A woman as stupid as you is really not worthy of Wei Changtian making such a fuss."
