I'm the villain in the book

Although she is Ning Yuke's "bodyguard", she doesn't stay away from her all the time.

Especially in the royal palace, Ning Yuke would only follow her when she attended certain occasions.

So Qingxian wasn't in Fengming Palace just now, and only came to check the situation after the vision of "Purple Qi coming from the East" appeared.

Then, she saw the scene of Ning Yuke holding Wei Changtian grass with her mouth through the window.

Normal people would probably be shocked if they saw this kind of thing.

Although Qing Xian is not a "human", but the initial mentality is the same.

But as time goes by, she seems to have a different mood now.

The red lips pursed slightly, the embroidered eyebrows were raised, and there was an imperceptible smile on his face.

Qing Xian's appearance is enough to make most men in the world fascinated, even enough to reach the point of "knowing men first".

However, the former quickly suppressed his smile and walked towards his residence.

......

......

the other side.

It was already Xu time when Wei Changtian returned to the small house, so the "state banquet" at the palace should have already begun.

Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao seldom eat at home since the establishment of Yingfengsheng. They have to be busy every day until late at night, and it is the same today.

In addition, Yuan'er, Qiuyun, Li Suyue and others are rarely willing to eat at the main table, so the only two girls who "dined" with Wei Changtian recently were Ah Chun and Ah Gou.

"Master! I broke through to the seventh rank today!"

During the meal, Ah Chun happily reported the good news.

From "Xunfu" to the seventh rank, a realm that most normal warriors could not reach in their lifetime, Ah Chun only took less than a year to achieve it.

This kind of speed is not only because she is an "innate Taoist body" with all 64 meridians, but the extremely rich cultivation resources also play a key role in it.

Heaven-level internal strength "Guiyuan Gong", the unbroken top-grade demon elixir, all kinds of pills, guided by several "famous teachers" including Lao Zhangtou...

As far as this cultivation condition is concerned, the tethered dog is probably not too bad.

Hmm... that's not the right way to say it either.

After all, Agou, who now has the same resources, has not even been able to "find a house".

Unlike Ah Chun, although Ah Gou has all eight main channels, he has the most basic conditions for cultivation.

But only thirteen of her 56 secondary veins were connected, and there were only 21 in total.

Only 64% of the [-] pulses are connected, which is already the lowest level of talent.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of warrior can only reach the seventh rank at most. Even if Wei Changtian piles up resources for her, it is estimated that she can barely break through to the sixth rank...it depends on luck.

And Ah Chun, who is about the same age as her, will also be at the top three.

Although the two little girls practice almost assiduously, sometimes the gap between people cannot be made up by hard work the day after tomorrow.

As the saying goes - all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.

"..."

"cough!"

With a dry cough and swallowing the rice that almost choked him, Wei Changtian suppressed the "jealousy" in his heart, and said to Ah Chun calmly, "That's right, it's a little slower than when I was a teacher."

"Wow! Master is amazing!"

Ah Chun's small face was full of admiration: "Did Master already reach the seventh rank when he was less than eight years old?"

"It's natural."

Wei Changtian curled his lips without feeling ashamed at all: "So you must not be arrogant, you need to continue to work hard."

"Yes, Master! Ah Chun must work hard!"

Ah Chun hurriedly nodded, and then asked with some anticipation: "Then what rank are you now, Master?"

"this......"

Wei Changtian's expression froze, he pulled the leftover rice from the bowl to his mouth, and then put the empty bowl on the table: "Go and fill a bowl of rice for Teacher!"

"Good!"

Ah Chun was still young, Wei Changtian accidentally diverted his attention, and stopped asking the question just now, and ran to fill the meal with an empty bowl.

At this time, Wei Changtian turned his attention to Agou who was eating with his head down.

Although the latter hadn't spoken and had a happy expression on his face, he probably felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Ugh......

The only family member is gone, and his cultivation is much worse than others.

At such a young age, he has endured the pressure that this age should not have to bear. If it were any other child, he would have given up on himself long ago.

But Ah Gou has never shown a trace of frustration in front of everyone.

From this point of view, it is considered strong enough.

Sighing a few words in his heart, Wei Changtian was just about to speak to comfort Agou.

But at this moment, a person came hurriedly outside the dining hall.

"Brother Chu."

Seeing Chu Xianping's expression, Wei Changtian's heart sank, and he quickly put down his chopsticks and went up to him.

"what happened?"

"Son."

Chu Xianping cupped his hands with a complicated expression, and immediately replied in a low voice: "The latest news has just been sent back from Dafeng."

"The situation is very bad."

Chapter 411

Dafeng, Fengyuan City.

The continuous flames, angry roars, cracked gravel, desperate wailing... The cruel scene of war composed of light, shadow and sound has not stopped for two days.

There are more than 30 Daning troops and nearly [-] Dafeng defenders.

70 people fought for two full days in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and severed limbs and blood can be seen everywhere on the city wall, like purgatory.

With the "same" hatred for the Yuanzhou City tragedy, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, just wanting to send the "culprit" of all this to the underworld.

At this moment, the truth about who killed 300 million people in Yuanzhou City is no longer important.

Whoever loses will be that cruel and inhuman demon.

Whoever loses, whose name will be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history by the historian, and will be reviled by countless people in future generations.

Therefore, this is no longer just a war of aggression that determines the life and death of a country.

It is more a struggle for the power to "write history".

But now, the balance of this battle was tilted to one side, but because of Li Qi's serious injury and coma, it fell heavily to Daning's side again by a few inches.

Although it has not really bottomed out yet, it is at the last minute.

......

Dafeng Palace, Tianlu Pavilion.

As Li Qi's former study, the original hall full of singing birds and flowers is no longer as pleasant as it used to be.

Dozens of court officials in official uniforms gathered here, but the first one sitting was a haggard woman.

She was dressed in black, her long hair was tied into a bun, and a strand of black hair was scattered around her ears, shaking slightly in the candlelight.

"My lords..."

"you......"

Listening to the constant roar in the distance, looking at the court officials who were discussing in the hall, Li Wutong wanted to say something, but probably because her voice was too low, no one noticed at the moment.

"My lords, I wonder if I can listen to what I have to say."

The fists hidden under the table were tightly clenched, Li Wutong took a deep breath, and slightly raised the volume.

However, the turbulent debate in the hall still did not stop.

Prevarication, accusation, peace, death battle, westward retreat...

Every purple-robed official was arguing with his colleagues with red ears and a thick neck, but no one raised his head to look at Li Wutong.

Although after Li Qi was seriously injured and unconscious, the latter began to preside over the government in accordance with the law, and he did sit in this seat.

But for these court officials, they actually only need Li Wutong to sit there.

What can a woman know?

How could it be possible to decide on state affairs?

Bound by the deep-rooted idea of ​​​​"male superiority and female inferiority" in this world, almost everyone thinks so.

What's more, Li Wutong is only a woman in her early 20s.

Therefore, at this time, no one cared what Li Wutong was thinking and what he wanted to say.

They had actually heard those two sentences long ago, but they pretended not to have heard them.

They even refused to give time to listen to Li Wutong's "nonsense".

As for the latter, it seemed that he didn't have the courage to speak for the third time.

"..."

The fist against the knee trembled slightly, Li Wutong slowly lowered his head, his eyes tightly closed.

She really wanted to yell and tell everyone to shut up.

But she also understood that even if she really did this, she would not be able to say anything useful.

Because even if everyone obeys her, she doesn't have the courage to make decisions as a "person in power".

She is afraid of choosing the wrong...

Until now, Li Wutong understood how difficult it is to be a person with great power.

She finally understood Li Qi and Wei Changtian.

I understand that every choice they make will determine the heavy pressure of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of lives.

But now when the heavy burden is on his shoulders, this feeling of walking on thin ice makes Li Wutong almost breathless.

"..."

The long skirt shook for a while, Li Wutong stood up silently from behind the desk, walked around the screen, and left through the side door of the main hall.

The noise behind him remained the same, but no one cared.

......

Leaving Tianlu Pavilion, walked along the long corridor for a while, and passed through a courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Wutong came to Li Qi's bedroom again alone.

The heavy-handed imperial guards saluted her respectfully, finally giving her back a little bit of dignity.

Li Wutong forced a smile, and then the smile faded away after entering the hall.

"Grandpa, how is the father?"

All the way to the bed of Floating Cloud Diaolong, Li Wutong looked at an old man who was guarding the bed, and softly asked a question that had been asked countless times.

And the answers are still the same.

"Still asleep."

The old man shook his head, with some helplessness and self-blame in his eyes.

His name is Zhu Tianhong, he is a retainer of the Li family, and he is also the person of the highest level who guards Li Qi's side when he ascends the tower.
