Chapter 563 The Great Enemy is About to Appear
The north winds outside the desert howled all night long, blowing up gravel and blocking the moonlight, drifting through the Tengu Army camp, leaving only endless darkness and desolation.
And when the rising sun in the east pierced through the thick morning fog, Li Wutong left.
I stood in the cold wind all night, but finally chose to leave at dawn.
No one knows where she went. Even if Wei Changtian wanted to find out, it would be easy.
But just as he said to Li Wutong last night.
I don't owe you anything, and you don't owe me anything.
No need to feel guilty, and no need to tell me where you are going.
From now on, we are strangers and we will go our separate ways. "Sir, Princess Wuping has left."
In the main account, Zhang San's voice was somewhat complicated: "According to your instructions, I did not send anyone to follow."
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded with a tired expression.
He seemed to be hesitant to speak, and after a pause he asked softly:
"Did she leave any message?"
"No."
Zhang San lowered his head, deliberately not looking at Wei Changtian's eyes: "The princess stood not far from the military camp all night last night, and then rode east at dawn."
"The princess never said a word from beginning to end."
“.”
"Really?"
Standing up, Wei Changtian took a deep breath.
He slowly walked out of the tent. The fresh air in the early morning was faintly mixed with the primitive smell unique to monsters.
The sky in the east was filled with morning glow, like a huge colorful gauze spread over the endless yellow sand.
In the distance, Huailing City was noisy and bustling, and the sound of morning drums could be heard.
Suddenly, Wei Changtian seemed to hear a gentle voice in the drumbeats.
"My husband, don't worry."
“.”
His body trembled slightly, but he did not look for the source of the sound.
Or maybe Wei Changtian actually knew in his heart that all this was just his illusion.
The world is full of gatherings and separations, and the mountains and rivers are long and the wind is blowing.
Wei Changtian never regretted his decision, but his mood at this moment was a little indescribable.
Oh, that's it.
My eyes fell on the rosy red sunrise in the sky. If I only looked at the color, I couldn't tell whether it was dawn or dusk.
He stood there for a moment, then walked forward in the soft morning glow.
Wei Changtian faced the light, and his shadow was stretched very long.
The ninth day of the eleventh month in the first year of Taichu.
After a night, everything that happened in Huailing City yesterday had reached the ears of all major forces.
First, Qin Zhengqiu and Huian rescued Li Qi from the execution ground.
This was followed by an exchange of hostages outside the city.
Due to Wei Changtian's "dishonesty", a war is about to break out.
But at the critical moment, Qin Zhengqiu suddenly appeared and stopped the battle with one sword.
In the end, Li Wutong died of poisoning that night. Except for the last incident, whose truth has yet to be verified, the other incidents were witnessed by countless people, so they could not be more true.
Two second-rank masters died at once, and Li Qi was rescued. It seems that Ning Yongnian undoubtedly suffered a huge loss, while Wei Changtian made a huge profit.
However, Qin Zhengqiu's second appearance made everyone understand one thing -
This quasi-first-class master is actually not in the same group as Wei Changtian.
Originally, very few people knew about this, but now everyone knows about it.
For Ning Yongnian, this was a blessing in disguise, as the pressure he faced was suddenly reduced a lot.
However, he did not completely avoid the threat from Qin Zhengqiu.
After all, the latter said yesterday that "Ning Yongnian cannot die for the time being."
Can't die yet.
This sentence undoubtedly means that he can die after something is resolved.
So what exactly is this matter? Who is standing behind Qin Zhengqiu and Huian?
Ning Yongnian didn't know about this, but he knew that this person would definitely come to him on his own initiative in the near future.
After all, since I can't die for the time being, I must be able to play an irreplaceable role in solving "that thing".
Before that, that person was both his enemy and his friend.
Another two days passed.
On the one hand, Ning Yongnian wanted to wait for Xu Suisui to show up, and on the other hand, he was somewhat afraid of the Tengu army outside the city, so he remained on hold.
And Wei Changtian was happy with it.
No matter when Xu Suisui takes the next step, the purpose of his visit to Huailing this time is to delay Ning Yongnian's return to Daning.
Since the latter is not moving now, he will definitely not move either.
Just wait and see. The longer you delay, the better it will be for you.
Just like that, if you don't move, I won't move either. The situation in Huailing fell into a delicate balance because of Qin Zhengqiu's two appearances.
But the situation in Daning was not so peaceful.
Wei Xianzhi’s son’s efforts were not in vain. On November 11, the shopping festival in his previous life, he finally completed all preparations for the "coronation ceremony" and pushed Ning Wenjun onto the throne.
Regardless of whether Ning Yongnian can regain the throne in the future, at least from today on, Ning Wenjun is the emperor of Daning in the legal sense.
Under the threat of Ying Fengsheng's "stable grain prices", 28 of the 36 states of Daning clearly expressed their recognition of the "legitimacy" of Ning Wenjun's accession to the throne, even including Shuzhou and Yangzhou, which nominally still belonged to Daning but had actually split away.
As for the eight prefectures that did not express their stance, it was obvious that, for whatever reason, they had made up their minds to stand on Ning Yongnian's side.
And here is the next target of Shu Kingdom's "Eastern Expedition" route, Cangzhou, which is adjacent to Yangzhou.
Cangzhou is Ning Yongnian's "iron-clad state". It is not only the Queen's hometown, but also the base camp of Gu Zisheng, the Minister of Justice who was slapped to death by Wei Xianzhi.
Although the Gu family is not as good as the Liu and Xu families before they were destroyed, it is also a first-class large family and has taken root in Cangzhou for hundreds of years.
Although Gu Zisheng and his clansmen in the capital are now dead, there are still many people from the Gu family left in Cangzhou.
They certainly would not acknowledge Ning Wenjun, who was clearly a puppet of the Wei family, so they had already prepared to fight to the end, just waiting for the Shu army to attack.
However, Ning Yuke didn't care about Cangzhou at all, but led his army north to Anzhou, and then surrounded Jiunan County, trapping all the 60,000 remnants of the Shuzhou battle in the city.
From the fourth day of November, peace talks were held in Huailing City.
On November 11, Ning Wenjun ascended the throne.
In just eight days, many unprecedented events happened in the two countries of Daning and Dafeng. It is no exaggeration to say that the world was turned upside down.
Especially in Daning, it seems that there has never been peace since the "Liu-Wei dispute".
The dispute between Liu and Wei, the rebellion in Jizhou, the rebellion in Chunlong, the war in Fengning, the tragedy in Yuanzhou City, Ning Yuke's claim to the throne, the battle in Shuzhou, the chaos in the grain market, and Ning Wenjun's usurpation of the throne In less than two years, not only was there only one family left of the three major families of "Liu, Wei, and Xu", but even the emperor was replaced.
In such a situation, no matter how rich the family background is, it is not enough to make trouble, so the national strength of Daning has already been weakened to the extreme.
Not to mention Dafeng, which was almost on the verge of destruction.
Therefore, we cannot go against the will of heaven and we cannot lose the opportunity.
You know, the principle of "killing him while he's ill" is not only understood by Li Qi who launched the Fengning War, and not only by Ning Yongnian who designed the massacre of 500,000 elite troops of Guangdafeng. Just like there are not only these two emperors who have the ambition to "unify the world".
