Chapter 511: The waxing and waning of the moon, sorrow and joy (Part 2)
Li Wutong has arrived?
Are those people from Kuilong so good at picking the right time?
Why must they send him here now? It couldn't be earlier or later?
If Wei Changtian didn't know that Kuilong's people had no stance, he would have suspected that they were deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
As for Li Wutong's insistence on seeing him right away , Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment and stood up and bowed to everyone in the room.
"Everyone, I'll be gone for a moment."
“.”
The ceremony was about to begin, but the groom suddenly wanted to leave.
Several people, including Liang Zhen, were a little surprised, but no one said anything and no one asked him what he was going to do.
They knew that Wei Changtian must have an idea in his mind, so they just smiled and replied:
"You can go, sir."
"good."
He took a deep breath, walked around the screen, and followed Zhang San out of the back door into the main hall.
After Wei Changtian left, he immediately asked, "How many people sent Li Wutong back? Did they say anything?"
"Sir, there are seven of us in total."
Zhang San answered truthfully: "They left the man in the backyard and left without saying anything."
"Um"
Wei Changtian nodded, feeling a little regretful.
He had originally wanted to have a chat with this group of Kuilong people, but they ended up letting the people go and leaving.
Of course, it is normal that the Freemasons cannot keep a group of second-rank masters.
I just don’t know if Zhuang Zhiming is among these seven people. Wei Changtian was thinking about random things in his mind, and soon he walked into the backyard with Zhang San.
Compared to the bustling front yard, there were not many people walking around in the backyard, but red lanterns were hung and red silk was tied everywhere, so it was still a festive scene.
"Sir, this is it."
Stopping outside a side room, Zhang San whispered, "Princess Wuping is in the room now."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Wutong's image gradually emerged in his mind. Wei Changtian turned his head and warned, "Stay outside the house and don't let anyone in."
"Also, if I haven't been out for a long time, remember to remind me before the ceremony begins."
"I understand, sir." Zhang San responded seriously.
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded, paused for a moment, then reached out and pushed open the door.
Ordinary decoration, cold atmosphere, and a woman with lost eyes The moment he stepped into the room, Wei Changtian felt that the inside and outside of the room were like two different worlds.
It's not like he hadn't thought about Li Wutong's current appearance, but he never expected that the latter would be so haggard.
Her dirty dress showed that she had not been washed for several days. Her face, which was once as beautiful as Lu Jingyao's, was now thin and pale.
What is even more noticeable is that the smooth black hair has turned into short and messy hair.
Without the cover of long hair, the slightly trembling shoulders looked even thinner.
“.”
For a moment, Wei Changtian was unable to utter a word. He just stared blankly at Li Wutong, who seemed like a different person.
Li Wutong also stared at him blankly.
When their eyes met, they saw that everything and everyone had changed and they were speechless.
It was not until Wei Changtian sighed "Princess" with mixed feelings that Li Wutong seemed to be finally relieved. She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
Outside the window, the cheerful sounds of drama and the laughter of the crowd were vague, which was out of tune with the extremely painful cries.
Wei Changtian didn't say anything, but just patted Li Wutong's back gently and sighed heavily in his heart.
Although he couldn't fully empathize with the latter, he could understand the latter's feelings at the moment.
The country was about to perish and my father was humiliated.
If we add the previous incident with Yu Pingjun , Li Wutong's life has indeed experienced too many and too heavy changes in just a few months.
To be honest, it would be hard for anyone to endure such a situation.
What’s more important is that Wei Changtian can’t help her solve all of this right now, so he can’t help feeling a little guilty.
“.”
After an unknown amount of time, the crying in the house finally died down.
But this didn't mean that Li Wutong had cried enough, but that she was trying her best to hold back the tears that were constantly welling up in her eyes.
Because she has more important things to do.
"Sir, how is Fengyuan doing?"
Grasping the corner of Wei Changtian's clothes tightly, Li Wutong bit her lip and asked the question that she cared about most with trembling hands.
Hearing this question, Wei Changtian was stunned at first, and then he realized that she actually didn't know the current situation in Dafeng.
It seems that Kuilong's people didn't say anything to her along the way.
Wei Changtian knew that if he told Li Wutong the truth about what had happened, it would definitely be another heavy blow to the latter.
But it was impossible to hide such a thing, and she would have to face it sooner or later.
So. "Princess, the day after you left Fengyuan, your father opened the city gates and surrendered."
Wei Changtian spoke silently while observing Li Wutong's condition.
Seeing that the latter did not have any extreme reaction, he should have expected this, so he sighed and continued:
"Alas, Ning Yongnian then ordered Wu Ding to send your father to Huailing Mansion and framed him as the real culprit of the incident in Yuanzhou City."
"And then"
At this point, Wei Changtian really found it difficult to bring up the fact that Li Qi was hanged on the top of Huailing City Wall, so he paused and advised softly:
"Princess, let's talk about these things later."
"You just arrived in Shuzhou, you should take some time to recuperate."
Wei Changtian didn't finish his words.
Because at this moment, Li Wutong simply couldn't wait any longer, so he just kept trembling and asked:
"And then what happened next."
“.”
Looking at Li Wutong, after a long silence, Wei Changtian still felt that now was not the time to talk about this.
"Princess, listen to me. You should rest now."
"I will tell you everything truthfully in the future, and I will do my best to help you."
"I, I don't want to rest."
"I, I still have to, right! I still have things to do!"
Suddenly, Li Wutong raised his head and his tone became extremely urgent.
"I, I want to leave!"
"I'm going to find Ning Yongnian!"
"Ten, thirteen days, tomorrow is the last day!"
"If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
"Yes! I-I have to go now."
“.”
It is obvious that Li Wutong's speech is now somewhat incoherent.
But no matter how fluently she spoke, Wei Changtian would not understand what she was saying.
Because of what happened outside Fengyuan City that night, Kuilong’s people did not tell him in advance.
"Princess! What are you talking about?!"
Holding Li Wutong's trembling shoulders tightly, Wei Changtian frowned suddenly and his voice suddenly became serious.
"where are you going?!"
"Why do you want to find Ning Yongnian?!"
"Because, because Ning Yongnian said..."
As if frightened by Wei Changtian's appearance, Li Wutong's body trembled even more violently.
"I can use myself in exchange for his withdrawal of troops from Dafeng."
"He, he promised."
“.”
The intermittent voice was filled with indescribable emotions.
Although Li Wutong's words were still a little confusing, Wei Changtian frowned and listened to her for a while before roughly understanding the whole story.
Of course, like the gray-robed old man of Kuilong before, or like all people with a little bit of scheming, Wei Changtian knew very well that this was just a trap set by Ning Yongnian.
It's even an extremely simple trap.
The idea of one person changing one country is pure nonsense.
When it comes to fishing with a straight hook, perhaps only someone as deeply involved as Li Wutong would be willing to take the bait.
"Princess, I understand how you feel right now, but..."
Wei Changtian did not blame Li Wutong for anything. He knew that she was confused because of her concern, so his tone was still very gentle.
"But this cannot possibly be true. Ning Yongnian is just lying to you."
"Believe me, even if you really hand yourself over, he will never withdraw his troops from Dafeng."
"Princess, do you believe me or Ning Yongnian?"
"If you believe in me, then listen to me. We will have a chance to take Dafeng back in the future."
“.”
Hot tears fell one by one, and the room suddenly fell into silence.
Li Wutong widened his eyes, staggered backwards, and lowered his head little by little.
She did not answer Wei Changtian's question, but just murmured over and over again in a very weak voice, like a possessed person.
“No, no.”
"I want to go, I want to go"
