Chapter 558 Hostage Exchange
Snowflakes as big as mats blew down Xuanyuan Terrace.
Wei Changtian dragged Wu Ding out of the execution ground step by step and set foot on the street leading out of the city in the heavy snow.
Behind him, no, it should be said that there were more and more Daning soldiers surrounding him from all directions.
Everyone was moving slowly following his footsteps, and the friction of armor seemed to be the only remaining movement in Huailing City.
Wei Changtian still didn't look at anyone, including Ning Yongnian who was not far behind him, and Li Wutong who was lying horizontally on the back of a big horse.
However, just when he walked not far from Caishikou, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared beside him in full view of everyone.
Nature is a veiled willow poem.
"Young Master!"
"Huh? Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to go out of town to find Zhang San?"
"I wanted to go, but..."
Glancing at the astonished soldiers around her, Yang Liushi's eyes were filled with worry: "But I am worried about you, young master."
"What's there to worry about? I'm fine."
Holding Wu Ding, Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Forget it, then just come with me."
"That's great. Send a message to Zhang San now and ask him if the Tengu Army has arrived."
"When we get there, have them pick us up outside the South City Gate."
"Yes, I will ask now."
“.”
Surrounded by tens of thousands of people, the two could still chat so naturally.
Wei Changtian has a trump card in his hand and is not afraid of Ning Yongnian's sudden attack.
The fact that Yang Liushi was so calm could only mean that either she had seen the current situation clearly, or she was not afraid of death at all.
Anyway, no matter what the reason is, the two of them now seem to not take these tens of thousands of people seriously at all.
But the expressions of Ning Yongnian and others were not very good.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Liushi in the distance, then turned his head to look at Li Wutong.
Ning Yongnian's eyes couldn't help but change slightly, and he already understood the importance of the two women in Wei Changtian's heart.
It is obvious that Li Wutong is far inferior to the veiled woman.
However, since Wei Changtian is willing to use Wu Ding in exchange for Li Wutong, it means that the latter is not completely worthless.
But is it really like this?
Half an hour later, at the south gate of Huailing City.
When the tightly closed iron gate burst open and the Tengu army stationed a mile away came into view, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi finally escaped from the encirclement.
Ning Yongnian had just received the news that the Tengu Army suddenly appeared outside Huailing City, so he was not surprised at the moment.
However, the scene of thousands of ferocious monsters gathered in one place still made everyone who saw it shiver involuntarily.
The feeling of oppression is too strong.
"alert!!"
"Be careful to protect the emperor!!"
Several loud shouts were heard, and the top of the city was already crowded with people.
At this moment, it is roughly estimated that there are at least 50,000 Daning soldiers gathered near the South Gate, confronting the Tengu Army not far away.
If the fighting starts, it will undoubtedly be a brutal and bloody battle.
However, as for who will win or lose, Da Ning, who has an absolute advantage in numbers, should still be able to win.
"Wei Changtian, I have done what I promised you."
Stopping outside the city gate and looking at Wei Changtian in front of him, Ning Yongnian shouted in a deep voice: "Can we change people now?"
"Well?"
Wei Changtian had already walked to the middle of the Tengu Army and the city gate. Hearing this, he turned around and asked, "What if I suddenly don't want to change?"
"you!"
Ning Yongnian's pupils suddenly contracted, and his dragon robe fluttered instantly.
But before he could say anything, Wei Changtian suddenly smiled and waved his hand.
"Hahaha, just a joke!"
"Change! How can I not change it!"
"bite!"
As he spoke, Wei Changtian pulled out the Shadow Nail and drove it into the ground. He continued to shout, "Ning Yongnian, I am the most fair and trustworthy person."
"This place is right in the middle of our army. I'll wait here. You also send someone to bring Li Wutong over. After the exchange is completed, we will each retreat to our own army!"
"No one takes advantage!"
"how?"
“.”
The fairest and most trustworthy.
There is no doubt that no one would believe Wei Changtian's lies, but there is really no good solution at the moment.
After all, at this time, there is no third party that both parties can trust to act as a middleman, so the only way to solve it is to use this method.
"Can."
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Yongnian nodded slightly and looked at Li Huaizhong beside him.
Although the latter was extremely reluctant in his heart, he did not dare to show it on the surface. He lowered his head, responded with a word, and went to pick Li Wutong off the horse.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Changtian whispered to Yang Liushi:
"You can go back."
"Sir, let me do it."
Biting her lips tightly, Yang Liushi also lowered her voice: "Ning Yongnian agreed so readily, there might be something fishy going on. You can't take this risk!"
"You come? If there really is a fraud that even I can't handle, how can you handle it?"
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I don't want to get you into this for Li Wutong. Be obedient and go back."
“.”
The cold wind blew through the tips of her hair. Yang Liushi neither spoke nor moved. For the first time, she showed such stubbornness.
Wei Changtian knew what she was worried about, so he sighed and told her his thoughts truthfully.
"Don't worry."
"No matter what happens, I will definitely take care of my own life first."
"The second is to kill Wu Ding, and the last is to protect Li Wutong."
"So you don't have to worry about my safety."
"Really, I didn't lie to you"
“.”
He looked at the long sword stuck diagonally in the ground, and then looked at the countless spots of light pointing towards this side from afar.
Yang Liushi lowered her head slightly, as if she was finally persuaded.
"Sir, you must be more careful then."
"If you die, I will not live either."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Looking at Yang Liushi who didn't seem to be joking, Wei Changtian pretended to be relaxed and urged: "You won't die, go back quickly."
"Um."
This time, Yang Liushi didn't say anything more. She just nodded and turned to walk towards the Tengu army's formation.
The two were about a hundred feet away from the Tengu Army and the South City Gate, which was neither close nor far.
Therefore, Yang Liushi quickly stood next to Du Chang and Zhang San, and looked over intently.
Wei Changtian looked at her from a distance and then looked away, casting his gaze on Li Huaizhong who was walking towards him.
The latter walked very slowly, dragging Li Wutong with his left hand, with his right hand exposed outside his sleeve, as if he was trying to prove that he was not playing any tricks.
Ning Yongnian behind him was still standing there, his expression unclear.
Watching Li Huaizhong slowly approaching, Wei Changtian did not move, but his brain was working rapidly.
It was indeed as Yang Liushi said, Ning Yongnian agreed so readily that it was hard not to suspect that there was something fishy going on.
But where is the "fraud"?
Let Li Huaizhong take the opportunity to attack himself?
Or did he kill Li Wutong at the moment of the exchange to disgust himself? Or did he hide some powerful prop on Li Wutong and then detonate it to kill himself?
The speculations in his mind became more and more outrageous, and Wei Changtian finally stopped thinking about these useless things.
You'll know the answer to this kind of question if you just ask.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian immediately condensed his voice into a line and sent a sentence into Li Huaizhong's ears.
"Eunuch Li, do you want to die?"
