Chapter 569: Fame on half a piece of paper, snow on a thousand mountains (Part 3)
The tower is obscured by the fog, and the moon confuses the ferry.
The flickering candlelight emitted a faint red light, covering a small area outside Lingbo Pavilion.
Just outside the blurred boundary between light and darkness, Wei Zhaohai and Yu Qi slowly stopped and stood in the shadows, watching Wei Changtian slowly walk into the pavilion.
The same goes for the other two sides.
No matter whether it was Wei Zhaohai, Yu Qi, Li Huaizhong, Qin Zhengqiu or Huian, they all came along just to protect the safety of their own "important people".
As for the negotiations that are about to begin, to put it bluntly, they are actually not qualified to participate.
"Da, da, da"
The night wind blew past, and it seemed that the sound of endless fighting echoed in this small world.
The clouds were as dense as a battlefield, and everywhere you looked there was endless blood and bones.
However, in this majestic and desolate scene, three footsteps were getting closer and clearer.
As the last step was taken and the three of them finally entered the pavilion, all the illusory scenes and sounds collapsed and dissipated in an instant.
The wind is blowing hard, the moon is bright in the sky, and the winter is cold throughout the land.
The small Lingbo Pavilion, a small stone table and three stone benches.
It seems that this is all that is left in this world.
“.”
Looking up at the other two people, Wei Changtian said nothing.
The same is true for Xu Suisui and Ning Yongnian.
There was no meaningless courtesy or threats among the three of them. Even Xu Suisui did not reveal his identity to Ning Yongnian, whom he met for the first time.
They stood there for a few moments with slightly different expressions, and then they slowly sat down.
“Hula!”
A thick curtain suddenly fell from above Lingbo Pavilion, blocking all views from outside the pavilion.
Wei Zhaohai and others could only vaguely see the figure in the pavilion, but could not hear any sound.
They did not move, but just looked at each other vigilantly for a few times, then retracted their gaze, took a few steps back and hid themselves completely in the darkness.
From then on, there was no longer any vitality or light around Lingbo Pavilion, only the desolate night wind remained.
The cold wind howls in all directions, and the snow covers the thousands of mountains in darkness.
"Thank you both for coming."
In Lingbo Pavilion, after sitting quietly for a while, Xu Suisui was the first to speak.
Although she was the weakest among the three, her expression was very calm at this moment, without any timidity or panic.
Facing the two most powerful men in Fengning, her performance can be said to be calm enough.
Wei Changtian had only felt this kind of scheming from a woman named Wei Yanyu before, and he never expected Xu Suisui to be able to do this.
The reason may be because she has the most information, it may be because Qin Zhengqiu, the "number one person in the world", is standing outside the pavilion, or it may be because she has enough system points to deal with any unexpected events.
But no matter what the reason was, Wei Changtian now looked at her with some respect.
“.”
"Master Wei, Your Majesty, you should be able to guess why I invited you here."
"Since the rebellion in Jizhou last year, the war between Dafeng and Daning has never stopped for more than a year."
"Looking around, the people are suffering, the flags are withering, and the national strength of both countries is weak."
"Don't you think this war can no longer be fought?"
In the pavilion, Xu Suisui's voice was not loud, but very steady.
As for what she said, Ning Yongnian and Wei Changtian actually understood the reason.
However, for Wei Changtian, since he wanted to rebel, he had to rebel "thoroughly", which is called ending war with war.
As for Ning Yongnian, he must regain the throne at all costs.
The contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, or almost irreconcilable.
Although Xu Suisui, as a "third party" who suddenly appeared, intended to promote peace, he did have certain capital to promote peace.
But talking alone is not enough.
"Miss Xu, if you have something to say, just say it."
Ning Yongnian did not look at Wei Changtian, but stared at Xu Suisui and said slowly: "Since you invited me here tonight, I'm sure you won't just say some saintly words."
"I understand that everything you did before was to stop the war, but the reason just now is far from enough."
"So, girl, there's no need to beat around the bush."
“.”
From the tone to the content.
Ning Yongnian's attitude towards Xu Suisui can be said to be very polite.
On the one hand, this shows that he is afraid of the latter, and on the other hand, it also shows that he actually wants to end the war as soon as possible. But the prerequisite must be that the throne must be returned to him.
After all, war is always the last resort to solve problems. If possible, no one wants to go to war, not even the emperor.
What's more, the current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for him.
"Your Majesty, so if what I am about to say is urgent enough."
Xu Suisui turned to look at Ning Yongnian: "You are willing to stop the war, right?"
"It depends on what the girl will say."
Until this moment, Ning Yongnian finally glanced at Wei Changtian for the first time: "If it really comes to the point where a ceasefire is necessary, I can naturally let bygones be bygones for the time being and put aside the past grudges with the Wei family."
Let bygones be bygones and put aside past grudges.
Seeing that he had "no country to return to", Ning Yongnian did not show any weakness in his words.
However, Xu Suisui did not bother with the verbal dispute. He nodded and turned his gaze to Wei Changtian, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end.
"Master Wei, what about you?"
“.”
From the time he entered the pavilion until now, after a brief conversation between Xu Suisui and Ning Yongnian, Wei Changtian raised his eyelids for the first time.
The current situation is not much different from what he had guessed before he came here.
In the novels that Xu Suisui had read, a major event would occur in the near future, and would cause Dafeng and Daning to fall into unprecedented turmoil.
This catastrophe is expected to lead to very serious consequences, at least much more serious than the Yuanzhou City Massacre.
That's why Xu Suisui wanted to change all this.
To be fair, there is nothing wrong with this motive. Wei Changtian might have done the same.
After all, since you have already predicted that a disaster is about to happen and you have certain abilities, it is understandable that you want to be a "savior".
This is not a question of "holiness or not", but simply a question of conscience as a "human being".
But Damn, what kind of shitty novel is Xu Suisui reading? ?
Why is there such a "great disaster" plot? Isn't this a cool story like "Martial Arts Peak" where the protagonist can save everything? ? ?
So it’s a female-oriented novel? ?
Well, that makes sense. But how could I be the protagonist of a female-oriented article? ? ? For a moment, Wei Changtian's mental activities became extremely exciting, and then he gradually calmed down after Xu Suisui asked that question.
He looked up at the latter, without much emotion in his eyes.
This was the first time the two had met since their breakup in Guanghan County. Unexpectedly, they had become "equals".
Up to now, although Xu Suisui has not said what will happen in the future, most of the mysteries in Wei Changtian's mind have actually been solved.
But there are still two things he hasn't figured out.
Firstly, why didn’t Xu Suisui tell me these things in advance, instead of hiding them like a riddle man?
Second, what exactly is the "dark moment" that Xu Suisui mentioned about herself? Is it the "disaster" in the future? Wei Changtian still can't guess the answer to these two questions.
However, he already had an answer to the question Xu Suisui just asked.
"Okay."
He smiled, straightened up, and put on an appearance of "all ears".
"Go ahead."
"If the crisis reaches a certain level, the Wei family can stop the war."
