Even though they have been father and daughter for more than 20 years, and even though Zhao Ji was standing next to her now, she couldn't understand what Zhao Ji meant.
She stared at the basin, her mind in turmoil, not understanding why things had to be pushed to a deadly situation.
I just hope Ying Wuji doesn't go in. If he doesn't go in, he still has a chance to escape with his own strength.
If he really goes in, life and death will really just depend on Zhao Ji's thoughts.
At this moment.
"Report!"
A scout covered in mud rushed into the camp: "Your Majesty, the enemy has stopped at the entrance of the basin."
Zhao Ning's heart skipped a beat, and his heartstrings suddenly tensed.
When Zhao Ji heard the news, he immediately stroked his beard and laughed: "Good boy, this lesson of In Heaven and Earth was not learned in vain."
The scout asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Cut off their retreat, but don't attack too hard!"
Zhao Ji showed an inexplicable smile: "Let's waste some time with them and see what choice they will make!"
"yes!"
The scout left quickly.
The camp fell into silence for a long time.
Although Zhao Ji looked extremely old and weak, there was still a smug smile on his face.
Zhao Ning's hands behind his back began to tremble uncontrollably, and sweat had already seeped out of his palms. It had only been a short while, but he already felt exhausted, and traces of struggle frequently emerged from the depths of his eyes.
Another half hour later.
The scout came in again: "Your Majesty! They have entered the basin."
"good!"
Zhao Ji stroked his beard and said, "You are indeed my good son-in-law. You still trust me as your father-in-law!"
The scout asked cautiously, "Now we..."
Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "They are already trapped beasts, there is no chance of winning, try to reduce our losses. Let the soldiers split into two groups, take turns to rest, and kill them slowly according to the original plan!"
According to the original plan.
That is, give priority to killing Ji Dong’s people.
The scout asked cautiously, "When will the killing stop?"
Zhao Ji smiled calmly: "I ask you to stop again!"
"yes!"
The scout responded and left quickly.
Zhao Ji sat back in his chair, seeming to be much more relaxed.
Zhao Ning seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a folded hand: "Father, this is a great plan. The matter has been settled! I have learned a lot from this battle, and I have already had a tendency to have an epiphany. Now is a good time to retreat and meditate. Why don't we..."
"Are you going to have an epiphany?"
Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows, seeming a little happy.
"right!"
Zhao Ning nodded heavily and looked at Zhao Ji calmly, but his heart was already tense to the extreme.
Zhao Ji stroked his beard with a smile and waved his hand: "Good! Then you can go back to your tent and retreat!"
"Yes, father!"
Zhao Ning saluted and left the military camp calmly.
When she returned to her tent, she suddenly felt her hands and feet were cold.
Until now, she is still not sure what Zhao Ji is thinking.
But everything seemed to be heading towards the worst.
This can't go on any longer.
She knew that no matter how much she tried to test Zhao Ji, she would never get his true thoughts.
By the time he was able to confirm it, Ying Wuji might have already been beheaded.
She couldn't accept this result.
She took a deep breath.
Trembling, he took out a jade seal from his arms.
Hold your breath, concentrate, and make a strong stroke in the air.
A crack appeared.
She had only just started to learn this unique skill of Ying Shisan a few months ago and was not yet very proficient in using it, but it was enough to help her get where she wanted to go.
However, as soon as the crack appeared, it was blown away by a breeze.
What! ?
Zhao Ning's eyes shrank. He had never heard that such cracks could be blown away by a breeze. Where did this breeze come from?
She turned her head quickly and saw a dark figure standing outside the tent.
A flash of lightning flashed in the distant night sky.
Zhao Ji's face was reflected in a cold and icy blue color.
Zhao Ning was startled and quickly hid the jade seal behind him: "Father, Father..."
Zhao Ji slowly said, "Where are you going with my formation-breaking chapter?"
Chapter on breaking the formation.
It is the nemesis of all formations and prohibitions in the world, and is also one of the most top-notch treasures of the Zhao royal family.
Zhao Ning bit his lip and remained silent.
Zhao Ji said calmly: "You are going to save Ying Wuji!"
"yes!"
"You think I want to kill him!?"
"yes!"
"Good! Very good!"
Zhao Ji smiled slightly, and it was hard to tell whether his voice was sad or angry: "No wonder you contacted Han You privately, and no wonder you went to the royal family's private treasury before leaving. Do you think that everything you did was perfect?"
Zhao Ning took a deep breath, and the panic in his eyes completely disappeared.
She raised her head and looked at Zhao Ji fearlessly: "Father is the king of Dali. Nothing in Dali can be hidden from father's eyes. I just think that things are not that serious!"
Zhao Ji asked back: "Is it just a Ying Wuji, is it worth it for you to betray the emperor and abandon your father?"
“Not just Ying Wuji!”
Zhao Ning raised his head: "Wu Ji has been in Li for many years and has never done anything against Li's laws. On the contrary, he has made great contributions to Da Li! In public, he is a loyal minister and a good general of Da Li. In private, he is the son-in-law of my Zhao family. In terms of the general situation, he is the beginning of Da Li's prosperity!
Today, the State of Li has become a holy land for hundreds of schools of thought, and all the knowledgeable people in the world have flocked to it.
There are talented people available for selection for all official and civic positions.
If it’s just because of the restless Bai family, we won’t be able to accommodate Wuji!
