Chapter 371 The gears begin to turn
Tianji fifteenth year, July 12th.
Three days had passed since Wei Changtian last saw Li Qi.
There are still three days until the Ghost Festival on July 15th.
Wei Changtian had been keeping a close eye on what was happening in the Heavenly Prison for the past three days, so he naturally knew that Li Qi had not yet met Yu Pingjun.
Damn, changed his mind again? Or did he have other plans? Wei Changtian was very annoyed by Li Qi's "flip-flopping" behavior, but he was too lazy to urge him.
Like I said before, this matter has nothing to do with me. Since the "parties involved" don't care, let them do whatever they want.
The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. The emperor himself is not a eunuch, so of course he will not worry so much about Li Qi.
Anyway, the agreed July 15th is coming soon.
As long as Fengyuan City is fine by then, he will immediately ask Li Qi to fulfill his previous promise and then return to Shuzhou.
As for Li Wutong, marrying a princess of a country is not a trivial matter. There are many considerations and preparations involved. On a larger scale, it may even affect Fengning's diplomatic relations.
However, the two countries are currently at war, and Dafeng has also been involved in the "shocking scandal" of Yu Pingjun. It is definitely not appropriate to "marry the princess" in the short term, so it can only be put aside for the time being and discussed when the time is right.
Of course, Wei Changtian had already discussed this matter with Li Wutong, and also asked the latter whether he wanted to follow him back to Shuzhou during this period of time.
Li Wutong wanted to follow Wei Changtian from the bottom of his heart, but finally chose to stay in Fengyuan.
Perhaps she knew that this was also the time when Li Qi needed her the most.
“.”
"Sir, I'm waiting for you to come back and marry me."
The candlelight flickered slightly, and two people sat opposite each other in the bedroom.
Although it would take at least four or five days before Wei Changtian left, Li Wutong would "remind" him almost every day, as if he was very afraid that he would forget about it.
"Princess, don't worry. When Dafeng and Daning stop fighting, I will come back to marry you."
Nodding, Wei Changtian did not show any impatience in the face of Li Wutong's "worry", but just sighed meaningfully.
"Very quickly."
“.”
soon?
Li Wutong didn't know why Wei Changtian was so sure that the war between the two countries would end soon, so he just thought it was a beautiful wish.
She also smiled and nodded, as if she was also looking forward to all this being over quickly.
No more wars, and the world will be at peace.
At that time, she could marry Wei Changtian in a grand ceremony, and from then on she would no longer be the princess of Dafeng, but the daughter-in-law of the Wei family.
I can go to Shuzhou to see the beautiful scenery, customs and people there, meet the girl Liu Shi who is also a demon as mentioned by Wei Changtian, and live a peaceful life.
If Wei Changtian doesn't mind, I will give birth to many more children.
Boys and girls are fine, I won't hide anything from them, I will tell them that demons are the same as humans, except that they live longer. "Puff~"
Thinking of the words Wei Changtian once used to comfort himself, Li Wutong couldn't help but smile.
Looking at the man opposite with a puzzled look on his face, she did not explain why she was laughing, but just slowly moved closer and gently rested her head on Wei Changtian's chest.
The moonlight outside the window is just right, and the birds are singing crisply.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that you are so nice to me."
Daning, Yuanzhou, and Fengxian.
"Da Da Da, Da Da Da"
The dense sound of horse hooves came from far away, piercing the tranquility of the night.
As a small town where more than 400,000 Daning soldiers are stationed, it has been so peaceful since the Dafeng army retreated to Yuanzhou City. It has been a whole month now.
For a month, the soldiers had no battles to fight and were not allowed to advance or retreat. Naturally, some "warmongers" were unwilling to accept this, and memorials requesting war would appear on Ning Yongnian's desk every few days, and would be rejected one by one by him.
The emperor's orders must be obeyed.
Since the emperor forbade fighting, the soldiers stationed in Feng County could only climb up the city wall every day and stare at the empty wasteland in a daze, not knowing what they were expecting.
The war came to an abrupt end, and the waiting was incomprehensible.
They thought that days like this would continue for a long time.
But as Ning Yongnian's imperial carriage quietly arrived in Feng County late at night, the huge gear that could influence the fate of a country finally began to turn slowly.
Each gear fits tightly together, leaving no room for compromise or breathing space.
It slowly and heavily rolled towards Yuanzhou City, little by little, unstoppable.
“.”
"Yujia, let's go."
The night is as dark as ink, with no stars or moon in the sky.
Standing on a low hill, Ning Yongnian looked at the black shadow gradually moving away under his feet, shook his head and looked away.
You Jia, who was wearing a black dress, stood beside him. After a slight hesitation, she suddenly asked softly, "Your Majesty, what are these people going to do?"
“Do something big.”
Ning Yongnian casually gave an answer that was "the same as saying nothing". He turned his head and looked at You Jia and said with a smile: "You should know that you shouldn't ask these questions."
"I know I was wrong!"
With a jolt in his heart, You Jia immediately knelt on the ground without hesitation: "I hope the emperor will forgive me!"
“.”
"Get up."
Ning Yongnian shook his head: "If you really want to know, I can actually tell you."
"I, I dare not."
Without standing up, Youjia kept her head down.
But the next moment, a hand suddenly pinched her chin and lifted her face slightly.
"After a few days, you will know everything."
“.”
After a few days?
What will happen then? Will this matter be related to Master Wei?
You Jia looked up at Ning Yongnian, who had a calm expression, but she was thinking about Wei Changtian in her heart.
She was a little afraid that Wei Changtian would be involved in such a conspiracy, but she knew she couldn't ask any more questions.
"Yes, I understand."
After a long silence, Youjia finally forced a smile on her face.
However, Ning Yongnian still had the same expression without any sadness or joy as before. He slowly loosened the hand that was pinching You Jia's chin, and then spread his palm upwards in front of the latter.
“.”
It is very obvious what such an action represents.
In an instant, You Jia's pupils suddenly contracted and she struggled in her heart.
But after a long silence, she finally stretched out her trembling hand and gently placed it on Ning Yongnian's palm.
"Hula~"
The black long skirt swayed, and Ning Yongnian exerted a little force with his hands and lifted You Jia up from the ground.
But after doing this, he did not let go of his hand immediately. Instead, he looked at Youjia who was biting her lips tightly and said softly:
"Youjia, there is actually one thing I have always been curious about."
"You told me before that no matter what happens, you are my people, the Dragon Guards' people."
"I want to ask you, does this still count now?"
I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I'm going to bed early. I'll only write one chapter and make up for it tomorrow.
