#572 - I have one condition
South of Huailing City, inside a certain inn.
Xu Sui Sui glanced at Li Qi, who was fast asleep in the corner, then looked at the vast number of Da Ning soldiers on the city walls outside the window, her face filled with unconcealed bewilderment.
According to the plot in the original book, Wei Changtian would not have saved Li Qi, which was why she had Qin Zhengqiu and Huian do it.
And the whole process of robbing the execution ground to save people could be called smooth... if Wei Changtian hadn't appeared.
Borrowing Qin Zhengqiu's strength to tie up Wu Ding and kill Bai Youheng.
Actually, that would have been fine, but Wei Changtian's every move made it clear that he knew her plan in advance.
So, how did he know?
What does he want to do now?
“...”
Somewhat troubled, she fidgeted with her fingers, Xu Sui Sui's expression becoming more and more anxious.
Reaching this point, the situation had completely deviated from its original course, making it impossible for her to predict the next development.
But no matter what, she had to continue with her plan.
“Senior Qin, please go to the city gate and check the situation.”
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Sui Sui turned to Qin Zhengqiu and said, “Wei Changtian will definitely not let Wu Ding live. There will inevitably be a battle between the two sides then.”
“If that's the case, then Senior doesn't need to interfere.”
“But if Wei Changtian wants to kill Ning Yongnian...”
Qin Zhengqiu asked in a deep voice, “Do you want this old man to help Changtian?”
“No.”
In the surprised eyes of the crowd, Xu Sui Sui shook her head with some bitterness.
“Senior Qin, if Wei Changtian really wants to kill Ning Yongnian, I hope you can step in to stop him and save Ning Yongnian's life.”
“He cannot die.”
“At least not yet.”
On the other side, outside the south gate of Huailing City.
Just as Xu Sui Sui made another “self-contradictory” move, Li Huaizhong had already walked half the distance and arrived at a position only fifty zhang away from Wei Changtian.
And facing the threat of “Do you want to live or die?”, he still didn't respond.
Hmm?
Squinting at Li Huaizhong's seemingly helpless expression, Wei Changtian didn't transmit his voice again.
Since this old eunuch wasn't talking, then either Ning Yongnian had anticipated this and made preparations in advance.
Or there was no trickery in it.
Forget it, it doesn't matter much whether there's trickery or not.
Wu Ding's life or death was entirely at his whim, and he would never let him go back alive.
As for Li Wutong... if he could be saved, he would be saved, if not, then forget it.
As long as he didn't care about Li Wutong's life, then no matter what Ning Yongnian's schemes and methods were, they would be useless.
Even after the fight started, he could try to kill Ning Yongnian.
System Points Remaining: 1620
He earned 1000 System Points for killing Bai Youheng just now, plus the previous amount, he now had more than 1600 points.
To prevent any accidents, he had to save 500 points to buy the Qingjue Jade Pendant.
Then he currently had 1000 System Points available, enough to buy two Divine Strike Talismans.
If he could really kill Ning Yongnian, even if the System Points might not be “earned” back, Wei Changtian would definitely not feel bad.
After all, besides Kui Long and Xu Sui Sui, Ning Yongnian was his biggest “visible” enemy.
But the question was, were two Divine Strike Talismans enough?
What if Ning Yongnian was carrying two life-saving treasures?
What if he didn't kill the person, but used up the System Points? Then he would suffer a big loss.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian couldn't help but hesitate, wondering if he should take the risk.
Just as he was struggling, Li Huaizhong was getting closer and closer, until he stopped three or four steps away from him.
“Young Master Wei.”
After Ning Yukes enthronement ceremony, this was the second time they had met, and the old eunuch's tone sounded quite complicated.
He sighed softly, looked at Wei Changtian, and slowly said:
“It's only been a few months since we parted in Shuzhou City, I didn't expect...”
“Alas, this old servant admires you.”
“...”
Praising him at the first meeting, Li Huaizhong's attitude made Wei Changtian slightly stunned.
But he quickly smiled and replied casually:
“Eunuch Li, I also admire you for being able to live until now.”
“...”
Somewhat playful, and somewhat sarcastic.
The meaning in Wei Changtian's words was obvious, and it also made Li Huaizhong's tone suddenly become bitter.
“Young Master Wei, this old servant has no choice.”
“Serving the monarch is like serving a tiger, one can't help oneself...”
“What a 'can't help oneself'.”
Wei Changtian's gaze passed over Li Huaizhong and looked remotely at Ning Yongnian.
Although he could only see a small figure, he could feel that the latter was also looking at him.
“Eunuch Li, Ning Yongnian must have asked you to bring me some words.”
Curling his lips and retracting his gaze, Wei Changtian looked at Li Huaizhong again: “Speak, while I'm still interested in listening.”
“Alright, since that's the case, then this old servant will speak frankly.”
Li Huaizhong took a deep breath and slowly said to Wei Changtian: “Young Master, in fact, there is no deep hatred between the Wei family and the imperial court, there is no need to fight to the death...”
“Wait a minute!”
Before Li Huaizhong could even say an opening remark, Wei Changtian directly interrupted with a smile: “The Wei family and the imperial court? Eunuch Li, my Wei family has no grievances with the Da Ning imperial court, but I don't know which imperial court you're talking about?”
“I...”
Li Huaizhong was speechless for a moment, but he didn't argue, and instead changed his statement helplessly: “Then it's the Wei family and the Emperor.”
“Emperor? Which Emperor are you talking about?”
“...”
“Young Master, what's the point of arguing about this with this old servant?”
“Why is there no point?”
Wei Changtian pretended to be surprised: “If Eunuch doesn't explain clearly, what if I misunderstand?”
“You!”
Li Huaizhong was choked with anger, but in the end, he changed his words again with a grimace: “Then it's the Wei family and Ning, Ning Yongnian...”
“Oh, I would have understood if you had said so earlier!”
Wei Changtian nodded in “sudden realization”: “So it's Ning Yongnian, who is reviled by thousands and can't return to his country!”
“...”
Snowflakes fell on the two of them, covering them with a thin layer of white.
Listening to this harsh sarcasm, Li Huaizhong didn't speak for a long time, but he understood why Wei Changtian was making such a scene.
This was not only to tell himself, but also to tell Ning Yongnian—
The current situation was no longer the same as before, and the Wei family had already gained the upper hand in this struggle.
So, you better figure out your situation!
“Young Master Wei.”
After a few breaths, Li Huaizhong looked up at the smiling Wei Changtian and asked in a somewhat difficult voice: “Can this old servant continue?”
“Eunuch Li, are you trying to say that my Wei family and Ning Yongnian can actually mind our own business? There's no need to fight to the death?”
Wei Changtian's smile remained the same: “Eunuch, do you think I'm a fool?”
“Now that Ning Wenjun is about to ascend the throne and become emperor, and the various states have no intention of opposing, the situation is very good for my Wei family.”
“Why should I make peace with him, Ning Yongnian, at this time?”
“Just because he thinks the situation is not good?”
“Hehe, Li Qi also thought the situation in Da Feng was not good before and wanted to negotiate peace with Ning Yongnian.”
“Why didn't Ning Yongnian want to let Li Qi go at that time?”
“How about this, it's not impossible to make peace, as long as Ning Yongnian is willing to agree to one condition of mine...”
Wei Changtian paused deliberately at this point, and Li Huaizhong quickly asked:
“Young Master Wei, what are your conditions?!”
“You can say anything first, the Emperor will consider it!”
“Is that so?”
Wei Changtian's smile grew even wider, and his volume suddenly increased.
Wrapped in the cold wind, his answer floated clearly into the ears of tens of thousands of people.
“As long as he, Ning Yongnian, dies! Then I am willing to make peace with him!”
“I only have this one condition!”
“Eunuch Li, why don't you go and ask your master if he agrees?”
