Chapter 572: Half a sheet of paper for fame, thousands of mountains in the wind and snow (VI) Feng
and Ning had a total of sixty states. Ning Yongnian got thirty-five states, Wei Changtian got fifteen states, and Xu Suisui got ten states.
It was as if they were deciding a trivial matter. The three of them spoke less than fifty sentences in total and spent less than a stick of incense, and they divided the world into three parts based on a map.
You have to know that this is truly a "three-way division of the world". Each state on the map represents a population of millions or even tens of millions, and a territory of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
But the complexity of the entire negotiation is not even as complicated as the process of ordinary families dividing their property.
The reason for this is undoubtedly closely related to Wei Changtian's "generous concession".
If the latter had not agreed to Ning Yongnian's conditions so casually, but had fought hard for it, he would have been able to get at least ten more states than he has now.
But he didn't feel reluctant at all and just agreed.
As for this result Strictly speaking, none of the three parties suffered a loss, after all, they also divided up Dafeng, which originally belonged to Li Qi.
It’s just that Ning Yongnian definitely earns the most.
From having "no country to return to" to regaining a territory no smaller than the entire Daning, the emperor should have felt satisfied.
But when Wei Changtian said the last sentence with a smile, a sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.
"Since I said that these thirty-five states would be given to Daning, then they will definitely be given to Daning."
“.”
Why did Wei Changtian emphasize "Da Ning"? Could it be that his heartbeat seemed to stop suddenly, and Ning Yongnian's voice instantly became cold.
"Wei Changtian, what do you mean?!"
"What do I mean?"
Looking at Ning Yongnian who had already noticed something, Wei Changtian's expression did not change at all.
He smiled and repeated it, then ignored Ning Yongnian. Instead, he turned his head to Xu Suisui and asked calmly, "I've always wanted to ask you."
"Why can't he die?"
Why can't he die?
It is obvious who this "he" refers to.
For a moment, the temperature in Lingbo Pavilion seemed to drop to below zero in an instant, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
Ning Yongnian's eyes suddenly widened, and his left hand subconsciously pressed the hilt of the Emperor's Sword, but he did not act rashly.
After all, Wei Changtian asking this question doesn't mean he's going to kill someone.
In other words, in Ning Yongnian's opinion, even if Wei Changtian wanted to take action now, the result would be futile.
Li Huaizhong and the other man standing outside the pavilion, the more than 200,000 troops stationed in Huailing City, and the life-saving treasures they carried with them. These were not just for show.
What's more, if Wei Changtian wanted to kill him, Xu Suisui would definitely not stand idly by.
With Qin Zhengqiu around, Ning Yongnian didn't believe that Wei Changtian could play any tricks.
Therefore, the reason why Wei Changtian asked this was probably just to get an answer.
Even Ning Yongnian himself wanted to know the answer.
Why can't I die?
You must know that Wei Changtian still has Ning Wenjun, who has already ascended the throne, in his hands. If he can really kill him and then use some other means, then the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command may not necessarily be "loyal to the lord."
Was it just to reduce internal friction? Ning Yongnian never fully understood Xu Suisui's motive for saving him, so he temporarily suppressed his anger, observing Wei Changtian's actions while paying attention to Xu Suisui's answer.
The latter was stunned for a long while, then frowned and whispered: "Master Wei, how could you not understand the truth?"
"With a powerful enemy at hand, Feng and Ning can no longer afford to engage in internal strife. Therefore, not only can the emperor not die, but Li Qi cannot die either."
"That's why I robbed the execution ground to save Li Qi, and asked Senior Qin to protect me..."
"Okay."
Wei Changtian did not listen to Xu Suisui's explanation, but suddenly interrupted and asked, "Are you kidding me?"
"The four-nation coalition has two million people this time. If a fight really breaks out, one more Ning Yongnian won't make much difference, and one less will make little difference."
"From a strategic perspective, it would be even more helpful to unite against the enemy without him."
"You should understand this."
“So, I want to hear the truth.”
He leaned forward, closing the distance between him and Xu Suisui.
Staring at the latter's slightly trembling eyelashes, Wei Changtian's expression became serious for the first time.
"If you don't tell me, don't blame me for killing him now."
"I'm not kidding you."
“.”
If you don't tell me, I will kill him now.
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Suisui and Ning Yongnian's bodies both trembled.
Reason told them that Wei Changtian was just bluffing, but instinct reminded them of the crisis lurking in the darkness.
After staring at Wei Changtian for a long time, Xu Suisui finally did not choose to take a gamble, but gave an answer with difficulty.
"It's not that he can die, it's because of his other identity."
"Another identity?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes: "Son of Heaven?"
"you!"
Suddenly turning his head to look at Ning Yongnian who had a look of doubt and uncertainty, Xu Suisui's face instantly became filled with fear and confusion.
She didn't know why Wei Changtian said these four words in front of Ning Yongnian without any scruples.
After all, although Ning Yongnian understands his own peculiarities, he does not know the specifics. "Yes! It is because he is the Son of Heaven!"
Biting her lips tightly, Xu Suisui suddenly stopped thinking about these things, and her tone even sounded a little indifferent.
"The Son of Heaven will play a very important role in the future! So Ning Yongnian cannot die!"
"Otherwise, many people may die in the two countries of Dafeng and Daning!"
"A lot of people died! Do you understand?!"
“.”
Maybe because he was too excited, Xu Suisui even spoke in a "modern" way.
But Wei Changtian remained the same, as if his emotions were not affected by this.
"What about Bai Youheng?"
"He is also the son of heaven, why don't you save him?"
"How would I know you would kill him!"
Xu Suisui widened her eyes and said aggrievedly: "In the novel, if I had known in advance, I would definitely have saved him!"
"Really?"
Wei Changtian's tone gradually turned cold: "They killed three million people in Yuanzhou City, and you still want to save them?"
“.”
Xu Suisui's voice suddenly stopped.
She was no longer as excited as before. After a long silence, she answered in a low voice with great difficulty: "But they are the children of heaven. If they die, more people will die in the future."
"I, I have no choice."
"What a helplessness."
With a hint of sarcasm on his lips, Wei Changtian was not moved or hesitant by Xu Suisui's "big picture", but his tone became even more disdainful.
"How do you know that if they die, Dafeng and Daning will definitely not be able to be defended?"
"I"
Xu Suisui was suddenly stunned, and his throat seemed to be suddenly strangled by an invisible force, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue could not come out.
The development of events had already begun to deviate from the plot in the book, so she certainly couldn't be sure what the consequences would be if Bai Youheng and Ning Yongnian both died.
After all, everything was just her guess.
Xu Suisui had previously regarded this speculation as "fact", but only now did he realize "What are you going to do?"
He stared at Wei Changtian with wide eyes and his breathing became extremely rapid.
She grabbed Wei Changtian's wrist in panic, but the latter broke free with a slight force.
"Since you don't know, don't be so self-righteous."
"Don't you think it's ridiculous to pin your hopes on two people like this?"
After saying these two words, Wei Changtian no longer looked at Xu Suisui who was in a trance, but turned to look at Ning Yongnian who had retreated to the edge of the pavilion.
Although the latter could not fully understand the conversation between the two, he knew that Wei Changtian had already decided to kill him.
Until this moment, Ning Yongnian still didn't believe that Wei Changtian could really kill him, but his feet were still subconsciously retreating.
Lingbo Pavilion was not big to begin with, so he quickly retreated to the edge of the tent.
Just as he was about to turn around and run away, their eyes finally met.
"call!"
Outside the pavilion, heavy snow began to fall again, dyeing everything in a vast expanse of white.
Snowflakes are as big as palms and can hardly cover your eyes; the wind is as strong as a knife that cuts through thousands of mountains.
As several black shadows with the aura of the second level suddenly appeared around Lingbo Pavilion, the heavy tent exploded into countless pieces in a golden light.
"Bang!!!"
"Ning Yongnian, I said I would give Daning thirty-five states, but not to you."
"so."
"Go to hell"
