I'm the villain in the book

He stopped suddenly and pointed forward with the tip of the knife.

The face of the leader no longer had the panic at the beginning, but he uttered a word in an extremely cold voice.

"If the villains are cornered, they will kill you together."

"..."

For a moment, there was a moment of silence in the cell.

Li Qi's expression suddenly became gloomy, but he knew in his heart that the other party was definitely not scaremongering, and he would not give himself too long to think.

Therefore, I must make a decision immediately.

To let, or not to let?

The five opponents are all middle three ranks, the same as myself.

But if there is a real fight, I am afraid that I will lose the enemy within a few breaths.

As the king of a country, Ning Yongnian naturally has a treasure to save his life.

But now the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, if the other party really wants to kill, then it is still unknown how long these objects can protect themselves...

"emperor!"

Suddenly, an urgent cry interrupted Li Qi's thinking.

He looked back subconsciously, and then saw the face full of tears.

"Your Majesty! Anyway, I will die sooner or later! What are you doing to stop me?!"

"Stop pretending to be hypocritical here! Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!!!"

Yu Pingjun grabbed Li Qi's lapel tightly, screaming with all his strength, trying to push the former aside.

However, the owner of the white dragon robe did not move at all.

At this moment, Li Qi seemed to have some kind of enlightenment, and suddenly understood how to be an emperor.

This is the first time he understands this matter after he has been on the throne for more than [-] years.

As an emperor, you can't retreat!

Slowly parting the pale fingers on his chest, he turned his head and looked at the five assassins in front of him with nervous expressions.

All worries and hesitation have long since disappeared, only the Tianzi sword slowly raised, and the choices a true emperor should make.

"remember."

"I promise you to die, so you can die."

"I won't allow you to die, no one in this world can kill you!"

"This is the case today!"

"It's the same in the future!"

"Aren't you going to kill me?!"

"come!!!"

"boom!!"

The next moment, the Tianzi Sword, which was wrapped in the power of a monstrous emperor, roared with a strong dragon roar, and swept towards the five astonished assassins.

"Ding ding dong dong!"

"Shoot!!"

"Zheng!!"

Amidst the interlacing sound of Jin Ge, Yu Pingjun stared blankly at Li Qi, who had not retreated a step in front of him, and at the blood splattered on the latter...

She suddenly felt that the man she had hated for 20 years was very strange.

Strange enough that she no longer hates it...

"Emperor, Your Majesty."

"It turned out to be a concubine, I'm sorry..."

......

......

An hour later.

When Wei Changtian and Li Wutong rushed to the palace at the fastest speed, everything that happened in the prison had already come to an end.

Wei Changtian never imagined that someone would assassinate Yu Pingjun, let alone that the Dafeng Palace was so riddled with holes that the assassins actually succeeded.

What surprised him the most was that these assassins actually met Li Qi, and Li Qi saved Yu Pingjun with all his injuries!

It's outrageous! !

"emperor!"

"Father!"

Leaving the old eunuch behind and rushing into the hall, Wei Changtian and Li Wutong immediately saw Li Qi surrounded by a group of imperial doctors.

The latter's face was a little pale, but it didn't seem like a big problem.

After all, as the king of a country, as long as he keeps his breath, there is a high probability that he can be rescued, not to mention that the reinforcements arrived in time at that time, Li Qi's injury was actually not that serious.

Of course, even this appearance is enough to make his daughter feel distressed.

"Father Emperor!!"

Crying and running to Li Qi, Li Wutong's tears poured out of his eyes as if he didn't want money.

In comparison, Wei Changtian was much calmer, and after a few words of concern, he directly asked the most critical question.

"Your Majesty, how is the Queen doing now?"

"..."

Li Qi waved his hand to signal all the imperial doctors and eunuchs to go out, Li Qi's expression was very calm.

"Life is safe, but it may be due to heavy injuries, and I am still asleep."

"Are you asleep or not?"

Wei Changtian frowned and asked, "Is there nothing the imperial doctor can do?"

"Well, I haven't found a way yet, but it won't be too long."

"That's fine."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian glanced at Li Wutong who was still wiping tears beside him, and asked another question through voice transmission.

"Your Majesty, did the Empress say anything about the conspiracy between Ning Yongnian and Bai Youheng?"

"..."

"No."

Shaking his head, Li Qi also condensed his inner strength and replied: "But she will definitely say it when she wakes up."

"Is it?"

Seeing Li Qi's calm expression, a somewhat inexplicable thought suddenly flashed into Wei Changtian's mind.

"Your Majesty, let me ask one more question."

"What happened tonight will not be you..."

"No."

Li Qi's answer was very straightforward and indifferent.

"I just follow the trend."

"That's all."

Chapter 373

"Follow the trend."

Just four words, but it contains too much information.

This not only shows that the assassination was not Li Qi's "self-directed and self-acted", but also shows the reason why the latter "sacrificed his life to save others".

If combined with the phrase "she will definitely say it when she wakes up"... There is no doubt that Li Qi has successfully broken Yu Pingjun's psychological defense.

Looking at the Emperor Dafeng who was hesitant and hesitant three days ago, Wei Changtian suddenly had a feeling——

It seems that Li Qi has become different from before.

Wei Changtian didn't know why this change came about, and of course he wouldn't get to the bottom of it.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, according to what I see, Ning Yongnian should have ordered this matter."

Wei Changtian did not use internal force to transmit sound this time, so this sentence also floated into Li Wutong's ears.

The latter came back to his senses after hearing the words, wiped away his tears and hurriedly asked:

"Father, are those assassins still alive?"

"No."

Shaking his head, Li Qi replied softly: "The imperial guards all committed suicide before they arrived."

"However, Mr. Wei is right. You don't need to interrogate them to know that they should be Ning Yongnian's secret work."

"Ning Yongnian..."

Pursing his lips, Li Wutong lowered his head slightly, and clenched his little hands tightly.

Obviously, she remembered this grudge.

"Princess, go and see the queen first."

On the other side, Wei Changtian did not comfort Li Wutong at this time.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that there were some things he still needed to talk to Li Qi alone, so he found a reason to send the latter away.

"it is good."

Li Wutong was very obedient, and after wiping away his tears, he gave Li Qi a worried look, and quickly left the hall.

And Wei Changtian's expression gradually became serious at this time.

"Your Majesty, if this matter was really arranged by Ning Yongnian, it means..."

"I know."

Standing up slowly, Li Qi interrupted with a gloomy expression: "It means that what he planned involves huge things."

"And I'm afraid this will happen soon."

"..."

Ok?

Opened up?

Seeing Li Qi who suddenly learned to "rush to answer", Wei Changtian was slightly taken aback, then frowned and added: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, this matter is most likely related to the Yuanzhou War."

"Wonju..."

Nodding his head, Li Qi pondered for a while and asked, "Master Wei, if you were to guess, what do you think Ning Yongnian wants to do?"

"I don't know, kid."

Wei Changtian wondered if I could guess it, why bother?Immediately shook his head: "The most important thing now is to wake up the queen, then everything will be revealed."

"Oh, I see."

Sighing lightly, Li Qi was silent for a moment and then changed the subject.

"By the way, Young Master Wei, there are only two days left until July [-]th."
