Chapter 562: Lonely Sandbar
After half an incense stick.
Inside the bright military tent, Wei Changtian saw Li Wutong, who was obviously much thinner.
Although the latter had lost a lot of weight and his face was extremely pale, his appearance was still the same as before and there had not been much change.
Only their appearance has not changed, but the look in their eyes when they looked at each other can never go back to the original state.
"Sir, I'm going out first."
Her long skirt swayed. Yang Liushi, who had been staying here to take care of Li Wutong, stood up, said something softly, then lifted the curtain and left.
With her departure, only Wei Changtian and Li Wutong were left in the tent.
"You must have suffered a lot these days."
Sitting down opposite Li Wutong, Wei Changtian said calmly, "As long as you are fine, that's good."
"Sir."
Tears filled her eyes in an instant. Li Wutong didn't know why she couldn't hold back her tears after hearing just one sentence from Wei Changtian, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"I, I know I was wrong, I am sorry for you."
"I shouldn't have believed Ning Yongnian. I shouldn't have believed him."
“I hate myself for being so stupid.”
"Yes, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
“.”
The mermaid's tears hesitated at the bottom of the waves, dripping onto her clothes and almost falling off.
Tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto her clothes, making them wet.
Li Wutong's crying and apology echoed in the military tent, which seemed to be mixed with boundless regret and guilt.
She bit her lips tightly and kept looking at Wei Changtian, her shoulders trembling violently.
She wanted to throw herself into Wei Changtian's arms, but she felt that she was not worthy, so she didn't dare.
She hoped to hear even a word of comfort from Wei Changtian, but he never said a word .
It was unknown how much time had passed before Li Wutong heard a voice so calm that it scared her amid the whistling wind outside the tent.
This voice is so familiar, yet so strange.
"Tell me everything that has happened since you left Shuzhou City."
“.”
The dreary moon tonight illuminates my sadness of leaving.
On the way out of Shuzhou City, under Jiunan County, in the prison of Huailing City, in the small teahouse next to the execution ground. Li Wutong had imagined countless times what Wei Changtian would say if he had the chance to meet him again in this life.
But she had never imagined this scene.
"I"
The voice seemed bitter, and then became extremely painful in those calm eyes.
Li Wutong looked at Wei Changtian tremblingly, and it took him a very long time to tell Wei Changtian everything he wanted to know.
Wei Changtian's answer to this was just a simple sentence.
"Okay, I understand."
“.”
The sound of the wind is still there, cold and sharp, echoing faintly between heaven and earth.
Li Wutong's body shook violently, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
The flickering candlelight and the bright tent seemed as if everything in the world had disappeared in the howling wind, and all comings and goings were just a dream.
Even Wei Changtian's voice became vague.
"Princess, your father is not in my hands"
"I didn't actually do the execution."
"I don't know whether he is dead or alive now, but I guess he should be able to survive."
“.”
After briefly explaining Li Qi's situation, Wei Changtian looked at the distraught Li Wutong and stopped talking.
Although his expression remained calm, his heart was inevitably a little complicated at the moment.
This is an emotion that is difficult to describe.
Now that he knew the whole story, Wei Changtian certainly understood that his importance in Li Wutong's heart was far less than that of the concept of Dafeng as a country and home.
In other words, if Li Wutong was really given a chance to choose between the survival of Dafeng and her own life and death, she would most likely choose the former.
As for his attitude towards this, it may sound a little unbelievable, but Wei Changtian really doesn't care about this ranking, and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
He doesn't want himself to be the first in everyone's heart, or even hope that people around him can have such a pursuit.
But Li Wutong's mistake was that she gave up all her bottom lines for this.
Not stupid, not foolish, not impulsive.
It’s just the bottom line of “do what you should do and don’t do what you shouldn’t do”.
From this perspective, she is quite similar to Ning Yongnian.
Therefore, it is not a question of "whether Wei Changtian forgives" or not, but rather "whether he accepts" or not.
And since he decided to rebel because of the Yuanzhou City Massacre, he naturally would not accept Li Wutong.
It's that simple.
“.”
"Princess, what are your plans next?"
After a while, Wei Changtian finally spoke again and asked, "The situation in Dafeng will not be stable in the short term. Have you ever thought about where you will go in the future?"
"I"
As if he had a premonition of something, Li Wutong's breathing suddenly became rapid and his voice became anxious and flustered.
"Sir, I will listen to you!"
"Go, go anywhere! I will never be like that again!"
"Please believe me, please believe me."
"You listen to me, huh?"
Wei Changtian nodded: "In that case, then you can go."
"I don't care where you go, and you don't have to tell me."
"But you have to know that if you fall into Ning Yongnian's hands again, I will not save you again."
"Princess, I never owe you anything."
"You don't have to feel guilty, because you don't owe me anything."
"So from now on we are strangers, let's go our separate ways."
“.”
After saying the last sentence, Wei Changtian stood up without hesitation and walked straight towards the curtain.
His extremely heartless behavior was not fake, but just before he was about to lift the curtain and leave, Li Wutong suddenly staggered after him, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly with tears on his face.
There was no hysterical crying, no heartbroken pleas.
The latter didn't even dare to have physical contact with him, but just held on to the piece of clothing tightly, repeating the last sentence in the smallest and most humble tone.
"No, please don't leave me."
"Please, please."
“Don’t leave me alone”
“.”
Wei Changtian paused, feeling a tightness in his chest.
He closed his eyes, opened them after a few breaths, and then suddenly reached out and opened the curtain.
"Zhang San!"
His eyes turned to Zhang San who was guarding outside the tent, and his tone was still as cold as before.
"Go prepare a horse! Send the princess away immediately!"
"Also, spread the word tomorrow morning that Princess Wuping was poisoned by Ning Yongnian and died tonight!"
"Yes! I understand!"
"Well, go ahead and do it."
After saying the last sentence, Wei Changtian immediately waved his hand to cut off the corner of his clothes, and then strode into the night.
Li Wutong subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but he was blocked by Zhang San after taking just one step.
"Princess, please don't embarrass me."
“.”
His footsteps suddenly stopped, and Li Wutong's body stiffened for a moment. Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he grabbed the curtain and slid down little by little until he fell completely onto the cold yellow earth.
"Princess Wuping was poisoned and died tonight!"
The cold voice seemed to still echo in the night sky, and only a blurry outline remained of the figure in the distance.
The waning moon hangs on the sparse toon tree, the clock stops and people are quiet. Who can see the lonely man walking alone, the misty shadow of a lone wild goose?
I woke up in shock and looked back, but no one noticed my hatred. I picked all the cold branches but refused to rest, and the lonely sandbank was cold.
“.”
"Master Wei! Marry me when we meet again!"
"You promised me!"
“.”
The cold wind was like a knife, ruffling Li Wutong's short hair that had just reached her shoulders.
She slowly closed her eyes and finally felt the cold.
