Time seemed to stop at this moment, the people who fell to the ground, the bright red blood, the glaring setting sun, blurred little by little in Wei Nanting's eyes.

The fat body that fell on the ground had already lost its original warmth, and the clean clothes were stained with blossoming red plums. Such a cowardly, cowardly and fearful person, so hastily He died in the royal court, which was originally the safest place.

Wei Nanting felt that there was a breath in his heart, it was stuck in his throat and it was uncomfortable.

For more than [-] years since his birth, Wei Nanting has always accepted the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. He can die for Nanliang in battle, and he can also endure Nanliang King's suspicion for Nanliang.

But he never thought that while he was wearing armor and holding a knife in his hand, the king of Nanliang would be beheaded by a sword in front of him.

Wei Nanting felt that his voice was trembling, he tried to move his throat, but no matter what, he couldn't say a complete word.

Wei Nanting's heart is in a mess at the moment, and the deep guilt almost drowns his whole body. Now he doesn't know whether what he has done is for the good of Nanliang or harming Nanliang.

It's obvious...it's obvious that he brought Yun Lihan to Nanliang's royal court to ask him to help him make suggestions, to see if Nanliang can temporarily survive in the cracks under the pressure of the Xuan Dynasty.

He didn't feel too surprised that Yun Lihan killed Liu Wu, the envoy of the Xuan Dynasty. After all, he and the Xuan Dynasty had reached the point of immortality, and it didn't matter if he took another life.

But, absolutely should not, Yun Lihan should not have killed their king.

"You...you...why?!"

That hoarse voice was like a ghost.

The red eyes stared straight at Yun Lihan, forbearing, angry, puzzled, crazy, all kinds of emotions flickered in Wei Nanting's eyes.

He didn't understand, and didn't understand, why Yun Lihan, who even valued the life of a small soldier at the border, would kill their king so easily.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Wei Nanting, do you want to rebel?"

"Wei Nanting, if you don't kill the person you brought over now, you are deceiving the emperor and plotting to usurp the throne! Are you worthy of the ancestors of your Wei family?"

……

All of a sudden, those civil servants who had been silent in front of Liu Wu just now seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and they continued to attack Wei Nanting with verbal criticism, as if the King of Nanliang was beheaded by him personally. .

They didn't dare to provoke the mysterious Yun Lihan, but they had the guts to verbally insult Wei Nanting who always kept his family and country in his heart.

However, no matter how angry they were and how serious their expressions were, they just stayed where they were and kept shouting, never daring to get close to Wei Nanting who was still holding a big knife in his hand.

On the contrary, the few generals who had been in a bad mood before surrounded Wei Nanting the moment Yun Lihan made a move.

It's just that they didn't point their weapons at Wei Nanting, but left their backs to him in a protective gesture.

Yun Lihan's brows and eyes were distant, and his expression was indifferent. He didn't answer Wei Nanting's question, but turned his attention to the civil servants who kept clamoring, "General Wei, did you see clearly?"

"With such a king and such a court, do you expect them to be able to protect the people of Nanliang under the continuous pressure of the Xuan Dynasty?"

"At the end of the 200 troops at the border, there were less than [-] left. Haven't you been alerted enough?"

"General Wei, I advise you to think carefully, is the person you want to protect the thousands of people in Nanliang, or the king sitting on the high hall?"

Wei Nanting's body trembled violently, and he closed his eyes slightly, as if the scenes of the more than a month of struggling at the border crossing had appeared before his eyes again:

The setting sun was stained with blood, piled up corpses, dirty but resolute faces, pairs of eyes that could no longer be opened, and even, their earnest expectations before they died.

Wei Nanting heaved a long sigh of relief, and he slowly opened his eyes, a flash of clarity flashed in his sad pupils.

Yun Lihan understood in his heart, Wei Nanting had figured it out.

He was about to persuade him a few more times, but Queen Nanliang suddenly rushed over.

After Yun Lihan rescued her just now, he casually handed her over to a court lady, and he didn't know where she went during the half day.

The reappearing queen of Nanliang's hair was a little messy, and her clothes were stained with mud. It seemed that she came from a distant place in a hurry, her chest heaved violently, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Wei Nanting hastily saluted, "Queen, are you...?"

Queen Nanliang waved her hand casually, "General Wei, you are so polite."

Immediately, she handed a well-preserved package to Wei Nanting.

The woman is a bit petite, standing next to Wei Nanting is not as high as his shoulders, but her eyes are extremely bright, "I am not the Queen of Nanliang, but just an ordinary Nanliang citizen to beg Wei Nanting General, please save Nanliang!"

"Hey——" Wei Nanting was caught off guard, and was taken aback by Queen Nanliang. He wanted to pull Queen Nanliang up quickly, "What are you doing? Get up quickly."

The Queen of Nanliang raised her eyes to look at Wei Nanting, and said each word carefully, "General Wei, I can only trust you now."

Wei Nanting realized the seriousness of the matter, his hand holding the package trembled slightly, "Is it this?"

Queen Nanliang nodded with difficulty, "Yes."

After reading the contents of the package, Wei Nanting's expression darkened in an instant, his eyes scanned the officials one by one, his pupils seemed to be burning with flames, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to burn everyone in front of him. into ashes.

Wei Nanting squeezed the package tightly with both hands, under the force, his knuckles were emitting an abnormal white color, and the blue meridians on his arms were bursting from root to root.

"How dare you... how dare you?!"

Wei Nanting yelled angrily, his figure was a little staggered, he tried his best to suppress the burning anger in his heart, trying to calm himself down.

But how could he calm down?

Hidden in that package was a treaty signed by the King of Nanliang and a group of ministers to humiliate the country.

It's nothing more than cede land and pay compensation, they actually sold all the people in Nanliang to the Xuan Dynasty, not as slaves, but as livestock, like those thoughtless chickens, ducks and fish!

Wei Nanting was trembling with anger, he even wanted to rush over and kick the corpse of the King of Nanliang hard, it was the first time he realized that the king they had served for so long was actually such an extremely stupid person .

They naively thought that after selling all the people in Nanliang to the Xuan Dynasty, they could still enjoy their luxurious life!

Really ridiculous!

Wei Nanting glanced around, trying to arrest all the officials who signed the treaty, but when his gaze swept over the faces of the guards, he realized that none of the guards in the royal court were him. Wei Nanting couldn't trust them at the moment, and all the personal guards he brought were waiting outside the royal court.

All of a sudden, Wei Nanting found himself unavailable.

He hesitated for a moment, but still turned his gaze to Yun Lihan. Thinking of his doubts about Yun Lihan just now, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart at the moment, "Great witch... trouble you..."

Yun Lihan responded, "Okay."

Immediately, Yun Lihan waved the power of space in his body, and in an instant, an invisible barrier enveloped the entire royal court.

The young man stood tall, with a cold tone, but the words he said made everyone's hearts tremble suddenly, and they were extremely surprised and astonished.

"Tell me, how many people have reached a consensus with Xuanchao," the young man raised the corners of his lips, smiling recklessly and flamboyantly, "Maybe, I will leave you as a dead body~"

With a slightly rising ending, the voice was clearly very clear, but to everyone's ears, it seemed to be the whisper of the devil, making them feel cold all over for no reason.

Just now, Yun Lihan killed the King of Nanliang so quickly that even Wei Nanting didn't react, so now, facing Yun Lihan's threat, everyone was silent like a cicada, not daring to take a breath.

Seeing that the ministers who kept hopping were successfully silenced, Yun Lihan's expression relaxed a little. He really felt that these chattering ministers were annoying.

If he was Wei Nanting, he would have killed them all with one sword, and if he stayed, he would only be a disaster.

It's just that now is the time to show Wei Nanting his prestige, so he can't interfere too much.

Wei Nanting nodded slightly to Yun Lihan, expressing his gratitude, then he turned around and his eyes changed, deep gloom emerged from his eyes, and the change of face was as quick as flipping a book with a pen.

He held the treaty flat in his hands, making sure that everyone present could see it clearly, and with an angry tone, he read out the names of the ministers above one by one.

In an instant, many ministers knelt on the ground in panic and fear, kowtowed and begged for mercy, their eyes filled with tears, and they didn't look like officials who were once high above them.

The faces of the other ministers who didn't know about it also changed drastically in an instant, and there was a turmoil in their hearts. They all knew every word on the paper held in Wei Nanting's hand, but why it was so incomprehensible to connect them together.

Can such an unscrupulous pursuit of glory really last long...

The result is obvious.

The moment the list was read, Wei Nanting's personal guards had arrived. He took a deep breath, and this iron-blooded general showed such a terrifying expression for the first time, "Take them all down. After the investigation is clear, press Nanliang The laws and regulations are strictly enforced.”

"Yes!"

Those officials were finally afraid. Their survival instincts kept them struggling in the hands of the guards, so that their facial expressions began to twist.

However, in Wei Nanting's mind, when these officials put their seals on the contract, they should have thought that those who abandon the people will eventually be abandoned by the people.

Wei Nanting turned around, his straight back looked a little lonely, he walked towards the seat of the first seat, step by step very seriously, with his movements, the armor made a crisp sound in the wind.

He sat on the original seat of King Nanliang, and stared ahead with a cold and handsome face.

"From now on, I am the king of Nanliang!"
