Chapter 541 Irresistible Temptation
A woman as stupid as you is really not worthy of Wei Changtian's fuss. The wind was cold and the candles were flickering in the hall, and the atmosphere was eerie.
After saying this, Ning Yongnian no longer went to see Li Wutong.
The latter was suddenly stunned.
If her heart was filled with regret for Wei Changtian just now, then Ning Yongnian's ridicule was like a sharp sword, which instantly destroyed the last bit of her dignity.
You don't deserve it. Breathing became difficult and there was no light in the eyes.
Li Wutong fell into endless self-denial and no longer knew what to do or think.
There is no doubt that she is feeling extremely remorseful at this moment.
But in fact, until now, even though even her enemy Ning Yongnian has seen clearly that she is not of much value, Li Wutong still doesn't really understand where she is so "stupid".
She just felt like she had done something wrong.
As for where the mistake was. "."
Looking at Li Wutong helplessly, Li Qi sighed heavily in his heart.
And just at this moment, Sima Cong, who had been waiting for a long time, finally asked Ning Yongnian in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, do you want to continue the massacre?"
“.”
"Wait a minute."
Looking up at the heavy snow outside the hall, Ning Yongnian turned around, walked around the screen, and walked towards the back hall without looking back.
"Wei Changtian will definitely come to Huailing."
"Hmph, I want to see what he wants to do."
The capital of Daning.
Half an hour ago, the Xuan Jing Division had officially launched a general attack on the imperial palace.
The sounds of fighting and the roar of various giant machines resounded throughout the capital. The people were trembling in their homes, and they didn't even dare to turn on the lights.
More than half a month ago, Wei Xianzhi led his men to surround the imperial palace, and after a heated exchange of words with Ning Yongnian, they dispersed.
This incident undoubtedly shocked the government and the public in Daning at the time. For a time, even a random farmer knew that the Wei family had the intention of rebellion.
But no one could have imagined that within less than a month, the Wei family had already turned the rebellion from "idea level" into "actual action".
This time, things have really changed.
In the bedroom of a wealthy family, a noble lady trembled and asked the middle-aged man beside her: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to the mansion gate!"
The man looked grim. He took down a long sword from the wall and held it tightly: "Take down the plaque on our door!"
"Door plaque?"
The woman's eyes widened: "Why are you picking it?"
"Confused!"
The man looked out the window and said hastily, "Have you forgotten?! That was the word bestowed by the Queen herself!"
"If the capital city really falls into the hands of the Wei family, it will no longer be a life-saving plaque, but a death warrant for us!"
"ah!"
The woman exclaimed, then she realized: "Then, let the servants pick them!"
"Servant?"
The man snorted coldly: "Humph! These sons of bitches have already hidden somewhere by now!"
"Okay, I'll be back soon!"
"Don't just sit there, think about what else you can't keep in your house, and find it out and burn it as soon as possible!"
“.”
As he spoke, the man quickly left the room and headed straight for the gate.
The woman quickly ran to a cabinet, opened the secret compartment hastily, took out many letters inside and threw them on the ground.
It is obvious that this family must have had close contacts with the Ning family before, and they are probably staunch "royalists".
But judging from their current behavior, they undoubtedly do not believe that the capital can be defended, so they are "embroidering red flags overnight".
It doesn't matter why they made such a judgment.
The important thing is that if most people feel that something is about to happen, then there is a high probability that it will happen.
Just like now.
When the sounds of the fierce fighting in the palace gradually faded away, almost everyone understood one thing -
The imperial palace could no longer be defended, and the capital was about to fall completely into the hands of the Wei family.
The capital has changed its owner. This is the first time since the establishment of the Daning Dynasty.
Wei Mansion.
In the windless and lightless secret room, Ning Wenjun was like a trapped beast with nowhere to go, his expression was angry, but there was a hint of fear hidden in it.
His acupuncture points were not sealed, but all his weapons and treasures had been taken away.
Of course, he could still commit suicide.
But Ning Wenjun would definitely not do that.
Because he had already vaguely guessed what the Wei family was going to do .
With a slight sound, the door was slowly pushed open, and a ray of light finally came into the room.
Wei Xianzhi came in from outside, glanced at Ning Wenjun who was tense, and put the lantern aside.
"Your Highness, I've been waiting for a long time."
“.”
Ning Wenjun didn't say anything, nor did he try to fight with Wei Xianzhi beyond his own capabilities.
He didn't even curse, but just stared at the man in black robe opposite him without saying a word.
The lantern gave off a faint red light, which appeared in the eyes of the two men like two ghost lights drifting in the pitch-black darkness.
"Your Highness, I have invited you to your residence in this way. I hope Your Highness will forgive me for any offense I have caused."
With a smile, Wei Xianzhi casually threw a blood-stained jade pendant at Ning Wenjun's feet.
"Oh, yes."
"The Xuan Jing Division has just attacked the imperial palace. Two second-rank elders of the Ning family fought desperately, but unfortunately one of them died in the end."
"This is his keepsake."
“.”
His breathing became a little faster, Ning Wenjun looked down at the jade pendant at his feet, his expression becoming even uglier.
That’s right, this is indeed a token of the Ning family elders.
Just as Wei Xianzhi said, there are indeed two second-grade elders in the Ning family.
However, they are loyal to the Ning family, not the Great Ning court, so they rarely show up in public and will only take action when the Ning family encounters a disaster.
The current situation is very clear, at least one of the two elders has died.
I don't know whether it was Wei Zhaohai or Han Zhao who killed him. He slowly moved his eyes away from the jade pendant and looked at Wei Xianzhi again.
After a long silence, Ning Wenjun finally spoke.
"Wei Xianzhi, even if Han Zhao is your man, you should also know that the Wei family cannot defend this capital."
"Youth doesn't even need to lead the army back. As long as a few nearby states send troops, the capital will be back in the hands of the imperial court."
“So, I don’t understand why you guys are doing this.”
"Your Highness, you are right."
Nodding, Wei Xianzhi did not refute Ning Wenjun's statement: "The Wei family can't defend the capital for too long, but I don't have to defend it for too long either."
"What do you mean?!"
Ning Wenjun narrowed his eyes: "I don't understand."
"Really?"
Glancing at Ning Wenjun, Wei Xianzhi suddenly changed the subject.
"Your Highness, do you know who the real culprit behind the incident in Yuanzhou City is?"
“I know how to do it, but what if I don’t know how to do it?”
There was no direct answer. Ning Wenjun's tone suddenly became cold: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"It seems that His Highness knows."
Shaking his head, Wei Xianzhi's expression remained unchanged: "Then Your Highness, have you ever thought about how people in the world would react if the truth of this matter were to spread?"
"I haven't thought about it."
When the truth gradually approached the previous speculation, although Ning Wenjun felt extremely complicated in his heart, he still tried his best to maintain a cold look on his face.
"Just say what you want to say!"
"good."
"Since Your Highness is so anxious, I will not beat around the bush."
Taking a step closer, Wei Xianzhi looked directly at Ning Wenjun and said calmly:
"Your Highness, the Emperor has now reached the second level of cultivation. If nothing unexpected happens, he can live for at least another fifty years."
"I hope Your Highness can live to that time and succeed to the throne smoothly."
"But have you ever thought about how many years you can be emperor even if this is the case?"
"To put it bluntly, Your Highness may not even be able to sit on the throne for a day."
"However, I am willing to help Your Highness achieve his wish as soon as possible."
After a pause, Wei Xianzhi smiled softly and said, "As long as His Highness nods, the Wei family will help you ascend the throne legitimately within three days."
"What I said is absolutely not false."
"I just don't know if Your Highness is willing."
