I'm the villain in the book

Wei Changtian nodded, closed the car curtain again, and turned his gaze to the smiling Yang Liushi opposite.

After coming out of Shiwan Dashan, Du Chang no longer accompanied him, so now only he and Yang Liushi were sitting in the sedan chair.

"what happened?"

Looking at Yang Liushi who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, Wei Changtian asked doubtfully, "What are you laughing at?"

"Hehehe, son, I seem to finally understand what you are going to do."

Eyes bent into crescents, Yang Liushi covered her mouth and replied, "So you wanted to push Ning Yongnian to a dead end."

"A dead end..."

Wei Changtian smiled wryly and shook his head: "Oh, I really want to slap him to death and knock him down, but I can't."

"So it's just going around in circles."

"My lord, I don't think Ning Yongnian will be threatened by this."

Yang Liushi tilted her head: "Furthermore, he might not have expected that Young Master would do this. I'm afraid he had already made arrangements before leaving Beijing."

"Uh......"

Dazed for a moment, Wei Changtian was a little surprised when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized with a smile: "Hahaha, do you think I'm going to threaten him with someone from the royal family?"

"Well?"

Looking at Wei Changtian, it was Yang Liushi's turn to be puzzled: "Isn't it?"

"Hahaha, yes or no."

Wei Changtian smiled and waved his hands: "Of course I know that Ning Yongnian is cold-blooded and ruthless, and he doesn't care too much about the life and death of those close to him."

"So I'm going to do a lot more than set his backyard on fire this time."

"Or what he cares most about, I will use what to threaten him."

"..."

I will use whatever threat he cares about most.

After Wei Changtian finished speaking, Yang Liushi didn't reply for a long time.

She frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised her head at a certain moment, her eyes were full of surprise.

"Young master, do you want to..."

"Well, that's right."

"..."

"Swish swish!"

The wheels ran over the yellow sand, and the carriage passed through the ruins of an ancient city at this time.

It is said that the Western Desert Gobi used to be a grassland ten thousand years ago, and there were many villages and cities in it, but later with the "desertification of the land", they were all lonely and deserted.

So such ruins are actually not uncommon in the Western Desert Gobi.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, there are generally three reasons for the "death" of a city.

Destroyed by war, destroyed by natural disasters, and self-destruction.

And if you classify all the ways to "kill" a person, there are actually only three situations——

Homicide, accident, suicide.

In the matter of "killing the emperor", "assassination" and "tied first and then killed" both belong to the category of "homicide", and it has now been made clear that it will not work.

Creating an "accident" that could kill a second-rank expert is far beyond Wei Changtian's ability.

Then he actually has only one last option left——

suicide.

That's right, Wei Changtian was actually planning to make Ning Yongnian "suicide".

And for this, he must first grasp the bargaining chip that the latter is willing to trade with his life.

Chapter 528 "Hope"

Dafeng, Huailing City.

The prison is dark and dank, in which hundreds of prisoners are held.

Only a small part of these people have been imprisoned here all the time, and most of them are the righteous men who were recently imprisoned and tried to "rescue" Li Qi. There are a total of 210 people.

Exactly half a month has passed since Wu Ding hung Li Qi on the city wall until now.

During 200 days, more than [-] people were imprisoned, an average of more than a dozen people per day.

This number is enough, but we must know that there are still a small number of people who can be imprisoned.

And many more people had no chance of being imprisoned at all, and had long since died downstairs in the North City, which represented a great national humiliation.

According to incomplete statistics, there were nearly [-] people who died or were arrested because they wanted to save Li Qi in the past half month, and no less than a hundred attacks were launched, and even third-rank masters participated several times.

But in the end there was no success.

Li Qi was still hung high on the top of the city, watching wave after wave of Dafeng people die at his feet.

But every time he witnessed this process, he didn't show the slightest bit of distress, and after that, he didn't even have any fear, and his expression was only numb.

That kind of silly numbness...

"You know? The emperor is really stupid!"

"I heard that I was stupid when I was in Fengyuan!"

"Really! Someone saw the emperor being hung up and was still giggling!"

"..."

This is a widely circulated statement among the Huailing workshops recently.

Faced with this rumor, no matter how sad and sad Da Fengren was, he seemed to have to accept such a reality.

Because of this, they also feel extremely sad about the future of themselves and Dafeng.

Unlike the leaders of the previous life, the "emperor" has no term of office.

Even if Li Qi is stupid or crazy, as long as he doesn't die, he will always be the emperor of Dafeng.

And such a fool is about to negotiate with Ning Yongnian...... No one will have any expectations for the outcome of the talks.

So even though Wei Changtian had just won a battle in Shuzhou and weakened Daning's national power from the side, the people of Dafeng were still full of confusion about the way forward.

Even many powerful big households have already begun to "plan ahead" and secretly approached Daning on their own initiative.

This can't be blamed on these people for "selling the country and seeking glory". After all, the emperor is stupid, what future can the country have?

And as for the few people who knew that Li Qi was pretending to be stupid...

"Crack!"

"Squeak..."

The heavy cell door opened slowly, and the two guards entered the cell with indifference, and walked straight to Li Wutong, whose acupuncture points were sealed and lying on the stone bed.

Parting his chapped lips, he threw a Bigu Pill into the latter's mouth, and poured another bowl of water.

After seeing Li Wutong swallowing Bigu Pill with difficulty, the two turned around and left the cell without any mercy during the whole process.

They knew Li Wutong's identity.

But what about the princess?

Anyway, the order from above is to ensure that Li Wutong is not dead, so in the eyes of these two soldiers, this disheveled woman is no different from other prisoners.

"boom!"

The cell door was closed heavily, and then there was a harsh sound of mechanical operation.

Soon, the cell was silent again, only Li Wutong trembling slightly on the stone bed with his eyes closed.

Physical pain and psychological pain coexisted, and she couldn't tell which was more serious.

Seven days ago, she arrived in Jiunan County.

Two days ago, she was escorted to Huailing.

And I don't know whether it was deliberately arranged by someone or by accident, when she entered the city, she happened to go through the North City Gate.

When she saw the man hanging high above the city wall through the car window, Li Wutong felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by a big hand, and the pain was so painful that she almost fainted.

This is an extremely powerless humiliation, and an extremely desolate torture.

Li Wutong never thought that Ning Yongnian would do this, and the last illusion in his heart was finally shattered at that moment.

In fact, Li Wutong always knew what he was doing was stupid.

But why would anyone want to be stupid if there was a way.

Knowing that moths fly into the flames, she still plunged into the sea of ​​flames regardless, until all hope was wiped out and finally she was willing to give up.

But now, Li Wutong just wants to die.

She had long since given up her extravagant hope that one day she would become Wei Changtian's bride.

She didn't even dare to expect that she could meet Wei Changtian again.

She can only think about one thing now——

That is, I can't become Ning Yongnian's weapon, and attack Wei Changtian one day in the future.

But unfortunately, she couldn't.

"Squeak..."

Suddenly, there was another piercing sound from the cell door not far away.

At this time, it was less than a quarter of an hour before the two jailers came in to feed Dan, so...

His eyes widened suddenly, and Li Wutong fixed his eyes on the prison door.

Then, she saw a man in a robe.

The man has a calm expression, his clothes are spotless, and he has a long sword across his waist.

A real dragon is carved on the scabbard.

......

......

Ning Yongnian secretly arrived at Huailing City this morning.

Yujia is still on the way, but the man arrived one step ahead.

This is naturally done to avoid possible assassinations.

After all, there are many people who want to kill him right now.

Although Ning Yongnian didn't think that someone could really assassinate him, one more thing is worse than one less thing.

What's more, he can't leave the capital for too long, he must finish dealing with Dafeng's affairs as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible.

"..."

Walking slowly to Li Wutong, after watching for a while, Ning Yongnian slowly stretched out his hand and untied the latter's Lianquan acupoint.

The qi and blood in the throat became smooth, and Li Wutong, who had recovered his language function, did not question Ning Yongnian why he hung Li Qi on the wall, nor begged the latter to fulfill his previous promise to withdraw troops.

She just struggled and squeezed out three words with an extremely weak and difficult voice.

"Kill, kill me..."

"..."

The prison was cramped and dark, only a few wisps of flames that seemed to be dying at any moment reflected the floating dust slowly flying in mid-air, making the man's shadow twisted and slender.

"Kill you?"

With his expression still calm, Ning Yongnian asked back with a half-smile, "Why did I kill you?"

"I......"
