I'm the villain in the book

Page 476

Wei Yanyu nodded slightly noncommittal: "Even if not all, those vacillating state capitals will definitely compromise."

"And this may be Wei Changtian's real purpose when he first established Yingfengsheng."

"The true purpose of establishing Yingfengsheng..."

Comrade Xiao Xu opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he was frightened by Wei Changtian's "foresight".

Could it be that Xianggong was preparing to support Ning Wenjun a few months ago?

Bravo......

"Mrs. Wei, why do you think Xianggong is going to Huailing?"

Suddenly, Xu Qingwan asked: "If he just wants to help Ning Wenjun usurp the throne, he doesn't have to go to Huailing."

"..."

"It's natural."

After being taken aback for a while, Wei Yanyu's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

She looked at Xu Qingwan who was puzzled, hesitated for a while and said truthfully:

"Miss Xu, do you know that if Ning Wenjun wants to ascend the throne smoothly, it is not enough to have the approval of the court officials, the state governments, and the people. At least one thing must be satisfied."

"That means Ning Yongnian can't come back too early."

"And if I'm not mistaken, Wei Changtian's trip to Huailing this time should be for this purpose."

Chapter 546

At noon, fifty miles outside Huailing City.

A low mountain no longer belongs to the scope of the Western Desert Gobi. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can vaguely see the Huailing City, which is the size of a chessboard, in the distance.

"My lord, Du Chang said that he would arrive tonight at the latest."

Standing behind Wei Changtian, Zhang San asked softly, "What are we going to do now?"

"Um......"

Withdrawing his gaze into the distance, Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Yang Liushi who was bending over to tease a little hare not far away.

"Liu Shi, can your illusion fool the soldiers guarding the city?"

"If the opponent's cultivation base is less than the third rank, then it's fine."

Yang Liushi got up and looked over: "My lord, don't you want to go to the city?"

"Yes, I want to go in and have a look around."

Wei Changtian nodded and said: "Zhang San, you stay here and wait for Du Chang. Liu Shi and I will go into the city to check the situation."

"Okay, son, but it's okay to go."

Zhang San didn't say any nonsense: "I will notify Young Master as soon as Du Chang arrives."

"Okay, you stay here."

Wei Changtian patted Zhang San on the shoulder, then turned to Yang Liushi and said, "Liu Shi, let's go!"

"OK."

"..."

In a blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared on the top of the mountain, leaving only Zhang Sanyi quietly waiting for the arrival of Du Chang and the Tiangou Army.

That's right, as Wei Yanyu guessed, Wei Changtian's visit to Huailing this time was not at all for Li Wutong or Li Qi, let alone for the survival of Dafeng.

In other words, these are all piggybacking things.

Most importantly, he wanted to stop Ning Yongnian from retreating.

.......

How to kill the emperor has been discussed before.

Wei Changtian came to the conclusion at the time that he should first take away his "things he cares about the most".

For an emperor, nothing is more important than the "throne".

That's why Wei Changtian took advantage of Ning Yongnian's sudden attack when he left Beijing, and pushed Ning Wenjun onto the dragon chair in one fell swoop.

In this way, Daning will become Ning Yongnian's "hometown that he cannot return to", and he and his 40 army will be in a dilemma.

To enter is to return to Daning, but Daning already has a new emperor, and the road to "return home" is bound to be full of difficulties.

Retiring means staying in Dafeng, but how can Dafeng people tolerate such an enemy dominating their own country?

At that time, the 40 people will be like a group of lonely ghosts, with no supplies or backup, one will die and one will be lost, and sooner or later they will be exhausted.

And Ning Yongnian, who has no soldiers and no power, will no longer have any "emperor buff".

Just an ordinary son of heaven, isn't he slaughtered at will by himself?

The idea is good, and the plan works on a theoretical level.

But Wei Changtian also knew that it would not be easy to complete the whole plan.

For now.

Although Ning Wenjun is only one step away from successfully ascending the throne, it will take some time before he can completely control Daning and secure the throne.

Especially in the recent period, there must be many voices of opposition from various places.

Therefore, Ning Yongnian must not "return with glory" with the army at this time.

But as long as it can be delayed for ten days and a half months, and Ning Wenjun temporarily stabilizes the situation in Daning, then things will be easy to handle afterwards.

Ning Wenjun, who is firmly seated on the throne, will definitely use all means to prevent Ning Yongnian from returning, and Dafeng will also be inspired to "fight to the end" because of this.

Ning Yongnian, who is trying to survive in a pinch, will never turn around again.

Of course, Ning Yongnian himself must have thought of this, and it is estimated that he will soon try to lead his troops back to the capital and regain the throne.

And as for whether he can go back in the end...

Then it depends on Wei Changtian's ability.

......

......

At a quarter of noon, south of Huailing City.

An empty alley is covered with snow, and there are two rows of shallow footprints extending continuously on the snow.

There are only footprints but no people. If people see such a scene, they will definitely think they have run into a ghost.

But until Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi slowly appeared, there was no one around.

"Good guy, why is it snowing so heavily in Huailing City?"

Turning his head to look around, the veiled Wei Changtian muttered in a low voice, "I haven't seen any snow all the way..."

"Yes, this should be the saying that there are different days in ten miles."

Yang Liushi echoed softly, and the black veil shook slightly: "My lord, where are we going now?"

"Find a place to stay first, and then go to meet the spies of the Freemasonry in the city."

Wei Changtian thought for a moment, then stepped out of the alley: "If you still have time, then go to the government office."

"Hmm...my lord, wait a moment."

Yang Liushi suddenly tugged at Wei Changtian's sleeve, and immediately jumped into a nearby residential house under the surprised eyes of the latter, and "took" two cotton-padded jackets out after a while.

They are the most common styles worn by ordinary people. Only by careful observation can we find subtle differences. One should be for men and the other for women.

"Young master, put it on, it's cold."

Passing the slightly larger padded jacket to Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi smiled and said, "Otherwise we would be too conspicuous."

"Uh......"

After looking at his thin clothes and Yang Liushi's long skirt, Wei Changtian realized that he had indeed been negligent.

With their current incompatible outfits, compared with Huai Ling's current temperature, "one looks like summer and the other looks like autumn".

He took the padded jacket, put it on in twos and twos, and turned to look at Yang Liushi, who had also become "bloated".

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, you look like a peasant woman now."

"Goose goose goose, the young master is not much better, he is similar to a porter walking around the streets."

"That's the effect I want... Huh? By the way, can you just use illusion to change our look?"

"What is the shape?"

"Oh, it means appearance."

"That's it... But the illusion slaves can't last long."

"Nonsense, didn't you last for more than an hour at the gazebo in the middle of the lake?"

"Young master, I'm really not ashamed, if it wasn't for you not for so long..."

"..."

The conversation between the two became smaller and smaller, and soon disappeared into the alley.

And just when they were chatting and laughing, and were about to find an inn to settle down, there was a deathly silence in the government office in the north of the city.

"Eunuch Li..."

Outside a certain quiet room, Wu Ding looked at Li Huaizhong approaching from a distance with a complicated expression, and asked in a low voice, "Are you here to find the emperor?"

"Yes, I wonder if the emperor is in the house?"

Li Huaizhong also lowered his voice and said, "Our family has something important to report."

"Good thing or bad thing?"

Wu Ding turned his head and glanced at the closed door: "If it's something bad...then father-in-law has to think about what to say first."

"..."

Subconsciously swallowed, Li Huaizhong nodded with a wry smile after a long while.

"Okay, thank you General for reminding me, then our family will..."

"Get out and talk about it!"

Suddenly, a loud shout in the room interrupted Li Huaizhong's words.

"Don't forget!"

"I am still the emperor of Daning!!"

Chapter 547 The Fierce King Has Loyal Ministers

When Li Huaizhong walked into the quiet room tremblingly, he only felt that he was suddenly in the ice cellar in the cold winter months.

The cold and biting air filled every corner, surrounding Ning Yongnian who was like a beast.

He has assisted two emperors successively, and has been with Ning Yongnian for more than ten years. This is the first time Li Huaizhong has seen the latter lose his composure.

You must know that even after the imperial army experienced a big defeat at Niutoushan, the unfathomable Emperor Daning did not react as he just did.

It's as if Ning Yongnian should always have a character that doesn't show his emotions or anger.

But now it seems that his emotions can no longer be suppressed.

"..."

Not daring to look at those eyes that seemed to be able to swallow people alive, Li Huaizhong buried his head very low, his voice trembling slightly.

"Emperor, Your Majesty..."

"Old, this old slave is guilty, and please the emperor..."

"Without further ado!"
