I'm the villain in the book

"Your Majesty, just as General Wu said before, everything is not yet ready..."

"There's no need to say such words of comfort."

Ning Yongnian turned his head, and there was a trace of bewilderment in his eyes: "Old Li, it is said that the authorities are confused but the onlookers are clear."

"Maybe it's because I'm in the middle of the situation that I can't see the truth. You just need to tell the truth."

"This......"

Li Huaizhong looked up at Ning Yongnian.

Seeing the never-before-seen desolation on the latter's face, he finally gritted his teeth and gave up his answer seriously.

"Your Majesty, maybe you are too anxious."

"Intentionally provoke the dispute between Liu and Wei, kill Xu Shixing to force the Xu family to rebel, and counterattack Dafeng if the domestic situation is not stable..."

"You must know that the three families of Liu, Wei and Xu have profound backgrounds, and Dafeng is a great country. How can you handle it at the same time, Your Majesty?"

"I don't know why you are so eager, I just know that you didn't act like this before."

"The reason for this...you should know it yourself."

"..."

Strictly speaking, this was the first time Li Huaizhong spoke to Ning Yongnian like this.

The latter fell into deep thought after listening, and the confusion on his face was gradually replaced by bitterness.

In fact, Li Huaizhong was right.

Although judging from the results, the Xu family and the Liu family were indeed destroyed, and Dafeng did lose the national war, every move he made seemed to have achieved his goal without any risk.

But if you think about it carefully, each of these steps has more or less hidden dangers.

If my appetite is a little smaller, and I take it slowly, maybe the current situation will be completely different...

Recalling the luck dragon that descended from the Heavenly Gate on New Year's Eve last year, Ning Yongnian suddenly smiled wryly and shook his head.

I thought it was a great opportunity, but now it seems that it is not the case.

Is Germany not worthy?

Ning Yongnian didn't want to admit this no matter what, but he couldn't stop thinking about it.

And this self-doubt came to an abrupt end when the new moon rose.

"Knowing mistakes and being able to correct them" is a recognized excellent quality, and it also applies to emperors.

However, since ancient times, emperors can know their mistakes and correct them, but they must never admit their mistakes.

What's more, at this point, regardless of right or wrong, all Ning Yongnian can do is continue to move forward despite everything.

"Old Li, what time is it?"

"It's time to return to the emperor."

"Xu Shi, there are still two hours..."

Ning Yongnian seemed to sigh lightly.

"Send the order down and seal the city gate."

Chapter 566 Fame and Half a Paper, Wind and Snow Thousand Mountains ([-])

In Haishi, on a short hill outside Huailing City.

The night is a little whitish, the stars are like broken jade, and the full moon is thin and bright.

Qin Zhengqiu and Hui An were already waiting at the foot of the mountain, while Xu Suisui was still walking down the mountain with Xu Quan and Shen Ran.

"Little sister, Ning Yongnian just ordered the closure of Huailing City."

Xu Quan turned his head to look at Xu Suisui, and whispered, "I'm afraid he is going to use the lives of the people in the city as bargaining chips."

"..."

After a pause, Xu Suisui seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"I see."

"Brother, you go first, I have something I want to talk to Mr. Shen alone."

"it is good."

Taking a look at Shen Ran whose expression changed slightly, Xu Quan didn't say much, quickened his pace and quickly disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

And it wasn't until his figure completely disappeared that Xu Suisui asked softly:

"Master Shen, you should know what I want to tell you."

Not questioning, not probing.

Xu Suisui's voice was very soft, and there was no more emotion in it except a little helplessness.

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the forest, and Shen Ran's answer was neither too fast nor too slow.

"Teacher, students don't know."

"But you should know..."

Xu Suisui turned to look at Shen Ran with a sincere expression: "Mr. Shen, I'm not blaming you, I just didn't think of it."

"I understand that you have to consider for Kuixing Academy and Dali, and I also understand that you must have your own difficulties."

"What's more, Wei Changtian and I are not enemies in the first place, not now, nor will we be in the future."

"So I just want to hear you tell the truth, okay?"

"..."

"Students still don't know what the teacher is asking."

Shen Ran's voice was obviously a little sluggish this time, but his expression was clearly confused.

"I also hope that the teacher will make it clear that the students must answer truthfully."

"Do you have to explain..."

Xu Suisui shook his head with a wry smile: "Okay, then I'll ask you."

"Did you tell Wei Changtian in advance that we rescued Li Qi from the Falun Dafa?"

"No."

Unexpectedly, Shen Ran gave the answer without any hesitation, as if he had expected Xu Suisui to ask this question.

"Teacher, the students have long had doubts about this matter, and feel that there should be Mr. Wei's meticulous work among us."

"But teachers, please trust the students, this is definitely not what the students did!"

"Is it?"

Looking at Shen Ran with a serious expression, Xu Suisui couldn't help being stunned.

Because the appearance of the former is too real, it doesn't look like a fake.

But who could it be if it wasn't Shen Ran?

Qin Zhengqiu?

impossible.

Xu Quan?

It's even more impossible.

Huian?

If it really wasn't Shen Ran, then it could only be Hui An.

But Wei Changtian had only met Hui'an once before, and he hadn't traveled through it at that time, so it was absolutely impossible for him to plant such a hook so long in advance.

Since it's impossible... so Wei Changtian was just adapting to the situation?

He originally hid in the crowd and didn't plan to make a move, but when he saw Qin Zhengqiu and Hui'an appearing, he immediately decided to "kill with a borrowed knife"?

It's just that in such a short time at that time, how could he have time to make such a plan?

One must know that Wei Changtian yelled "Grandpa, do it" almost the moment Qin Zhengqiu appeared.

"..."

Taking a deep look at Shen Ran, Xu Suisui didn't ask any more questions, and put this matter in his heart for the time being.

Because compared with what is about to happen in the future, this incident is really nothing.

Walking slowly on the mountain road, the roadside is still covered with unmelted snow.

"Master Shen, you have been with me for two months."

"I have taught you all the poetry I can teach you."

"From tomorrow on, don't call me teacher anymore..."

"teacher!"

Shen Ran opened his mouth in surprise, wanting to say something.

But before he could speak, Xu Suisui interrupted softly:

"The matter is thus settled."

"By the way, there is one last thing I want to leave for you..."

Turning her head to look at Shen Ran with a complicated expression, Xu Suisui's voice was very soft, but every word she said suddenly set off a huge wave in the former's heart.

"The poem says that the country's hand is nothing but you, but there is nothing to do with life over the head."

......

......

At the end of Haishi.

Ten miles north of Huailing City, there is Lingbo Pavilion.

Although the name of Lingbo Pavilion is quite domineering, it is actually just an ordinary small pavilion.

When the weather is good, the surrounding scenery is not bad, but now it is late at night, and the surrounding is dark, and nothing can be seen clearly.

But although there is no sight in the eyes, there is sound in the ears.

"Da da da! Da da da da!"

The dense sound of horseshoes came from the south and stopped in the distance.

Ning Yongnian got off the carriage and looked at the small pavilion lit with candles in the distance, the thousands of soldiers behind him were silent.

Not only him.

At this moment, Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui had also arrived near the Lingbo Pavilion on time, and stood on the other two dirt roads waiting for Zishi to arrive.

Three people, three roads, three directions.

All of this may have been done on purpose by Xu Suisui, or it may just be a coincidence.

But no matter what, these three roads will eventually meet at Lingbo Pavilion.

"Chang Tian, ​​the people from the other two sides have also arrived."

Beside him, Wei Zhaohai squinted his eyes slightly and whispered in Wei Changtian's ear, "There are only three people on the east side, but Ning Yongnian has many people here..."

"Da da da!"

Before Wei Zhaohai finished speaking, the sound of horseshoes sounded again, sounding like he was moving away from here.

It seems that Ning Yongnian also knows that these ordinary soldiers will be useless if there is a conflict in today's negotiations.

"There are also three..."

Taking a glance at the three blurred figures in the distance, Wei Changtian finally confirmed the number of people from the three parties this time.

All three.

This is actually expected.
