I'm the villain in the book

Page 407

"Okay, you're fine..."

Squeezing out a few words abruptly from the throat, the emperor's sword light returned to the scabbard.

Ning Yongnian took a deep breath and stared at Wei Xianzhi.

"Daning 36 states, I want to see how much your Wei family can take away!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for fulfilling..."

His sleeves trembled, Wei Xianzhi looked back and answered tit for tat.

"You'll see."

"Hmph! I'm waiting!"

"Well, I will take my leave."

"Shh!"

Following the last sentence, Wei Xianzhi turned around and jumped off the tower without leaving a trace, and stood on the long street full of Xuanjing officers again.

"master!"

Wang Er immediately leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Next we..."

Without answering immediately, Wei Xianzhi glanced back at the figure still standing on the city wall, and then uttered a word.

"Back."

"..."

From coming aggressively to just leaving.

Although the talks collapsed, the expected chaos did not happen, and it will inevitably give people a feeling of anticlimax.

But in fact, from the very beginning, no matter whether it was Wei Xianzhi or Ning Yongnian, they all knew that there was a high probability that there would be no real confrontation tonight.

Because both parties feel that the most favorable time for them has not yet come, and they both know that they can't really do anything to each other.

Can Wei Xianzhi kill Ning Yongnian?

Certainly not.

And can Ning Yongnian kill Wei Xianzhi?

Of course it can't be done.

That being the case, such a fire is not very meaningful, it is more of a means for both sides to show their strength.

Just like the "military exercise" in the previous life.

Spending so much money and spending so much energy, training the army is only second, and more importantly, letting potential enemies know your strength.

The reason is somewhat similar to "a weak country has no diplomacy".

If Wei Xianzhi didn't bring so many people here tonight, then he might not even have the chance to meet Ning Yongnian face to face...

"Wow!"

Like a black wave receding, after only a few tens of breaths, most of Xuanjing's guards have disappeared in front of the Meridian Gate, and it is estimated that they can all be evacuated within a hundred breaths at most.

At this time, Wang Er led a black-body and white-headed horse, bowed and handed the rein to Wei Xianzhi, and whispered something at the same time.

The pupils of the latter shrank suddenly, then took the reins and got on the horse, and swaggered the horse past the Meridian Gate.

The horse's mane swayed, and the moonlight reflected the good bow hanging on the side of the saddle.

Wei Xianzhi squinted his eyes, suddenly stretched out his hand to take off the longbow, and immediately bent the bow and set an arrow, pointing the arrow pointing at the figure still standing in front of the tower hall.

"Whoosh!!"

Like flying electricity passing through the gap, the next second the long arrow will come out of the string, shooting towards Ning Yongnian under the horrified eyes of countless people.

The arrow was so fast that nine-tenths of the distance had already been flown before everyone had time to react.

But Ning Yongnian didn't move at all, just watched the arrow fly half a foot above his head, and then it was firmly nailed to a golden pillar behind him with a "boom".

"Om!!"

The arrow pierced the stone for several inches, and the white arrow feathers trembled wildly.

But Ning Yongnian didn't even look back, he just kept staring at Wei Xianzhi's back as he galloped away, trembling all the time.

"Roar!!!"

In the night sky, a yellow dragon several tens of feet long suddenly appeared, roaring crazily towards the sky.

The roar that only one person can hear is full of anger and unwillingness, depression and mania.

Then, Ning Yongnian turned around abruptly, looked at Li Huaizhong who was standing behind him with a tense expression, suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, and said slowly, word by word:

"Command Han Zhao."

"Let him take Shuzhou City within half a month at all costs."

"After the city is broken, the knife will not be sealed for ten days."

Chapter 469 "Time Comes and Turns"

The next day, Guanghan County.

At noon, Wei Changtian saw Han Zhao again in the same gazebo in the middle of the river.

"General Han, what do you say?"

Looking at Han Zhao who seemed to have a happy face, Wei Changtian asked with a smile, "Ning Yongnian has decided?"

"Yes!"

Han Zhaoyi cupped his hands, and said in an admiring tone, "Master, this plan is really brilliant! Ning Yongnian has ordered me to capture Shuzhou City within half a month!"

"Last night before Master Wei left, he suddenly opened his bow and shot an arrow..."

"..."

Soon, Han Zhao completely told what happened last night.

Although it is still unknown what Wei Xianzhi and Ning Yongnian talked about on the city wall, but these are not important now.

Yes, the words that Wei Xianzhi heard from Wang Er last night before he left were the words that Wei Changtian sent back immediately after he learned that he led people to surround the palace.

There are only five words in total——

Enraged Ning Yongnian.

It is obvious that Wei Changtian is not idle and looking for trouble for Wei Xianzhi.

His purpose was to make Ning Yongnian so angry that he made an unreasonable decision of "continue to attack".

The Niutoushan ambush is not only related to the outcome of the war in Shuzhou, but will also affect or even subvert the entire situation in Daning.

Therefore, the imperial army must go to Niutoushan.

For this reason, Wei Changtian not only sent a message to Wei Xianzhi in time, but also sent Ning Yongnian a wrong information in advance by means of his lost mother-child jade.

The master who "killed three thousand soldiers with one sword" was not from the Shu army.

Of course, this information cannot be completely false, after all, Qin Zhengqiu's current situation seems to be a bit weird.

But no matter what, such "intercepted" information undoubtedly relaxed Ning Yongnian's vigilance, which led him to finally make this risky choice...

Gee tut.

So what if you are the emperor?Didn't you still fall for my trick?

Impulse is the devil!Comrade Xiao Ning!

Shaking his head happily, Wei Changtian turned to regret that Wei Xianzhi took away the opportunity to pretend to be aggressive.

What a shocking scene it was to shoot an arrow over Ning Yongnian's head in front of so many people!

How could this kind of thing not be his turn?

Alas, I am clearly the "protagonist" now...

Speaking of which, Ning Yongnian is also true, wasn't he very cautious before?Why is it so easy to be impulsive this time?

Could it be that the halo of the villain Jiangzhi has finally come?

That's not right, if there is a halo of descending wisdom, the 300 million people in Yuanzhou City will not die...

After thinking wildly in his heart for a while, Wei Changtian stopped worrying about these things and was going to ask Han Zhao about his next plan.

But what he didn't know was that Ning Yongnian didn't make the decision to "continue to attack" just because of anger.

Because just before Wei Xianzhi surrounded the palace, the latter also received a secret letter from Wu Ding.

In the letter, Wu Ding told the story of Li Wutong.

Although Ning Yongnian regretted not being able to deceive Li Wutong, he noticed a detail mentioned in the letter——

"I came here on the order of Mr. Wei, but not for Mr. Wei."

This was Wu Ding's answer when Wu Ding asked the gray-robed old man why he wanted to work for Wei Changtian.

Regarding this sentence, Wu Ding didn't think about it, but just wrote it down in the secret report.

However, Ning Yongnian immediately used this to draw a conclusion that was basically equivalent to the truth——

These seven masters came to pick up Li Wutong for Wei Changtian because of some kind of deal, other than that, they would not interfere with anything.

And this means that they will not appear on the battlefield in Shuzhou...

In fact, if Ning Yongnian had been "stupid", or if Wu Ding's secret report came later, maybe he would not have made that decision last night.

But because the emperor was too smart and Wu Ding's secret report was too timely, Ning Yongnian was "impulsive" under Wei Changtian's calculations and various coincidences, and unexpectedly let Wei Changtian successfully achieve his goal.

It's hard to say whether this counts as "the protagonist's halo", but it can definitely be called Wei Changtian's "luck".

One day in the future, when Wei Changtian thoroughly understands the reason behind this, he may sigh that he finally said "time is turning" in the last sentence.

In addition, he may have a little worry.

Just like at the beginning, Xiao Feng "accidentally" obtained the Qingjue jade pendant that was originally out of the plot in Houqiu Village.

Sudden "good luck" or "bad luck"... Maybe it's just a means for the wheel of fortune to correct itself.

......

......

"General Han, when are you going to lead troops to pursue?"

In the glare of the sun, Wei Changtian certainly didn't know that the wheel of fortune was trying to pull him back on the "right track", and his expression was very relaxed at this moment.

"Since Ning Yongnian has given the order, it's better to send troops as soon as possible, lest things change later."

"Yes, I understand."

Han Zhaogong cupped his hands and replied truthfully: "My lord, I am going to send troops at Xushi today, and only [-] recruits will be left to garrison Guanghan City."

"Twenty thousand recruits... yes."

After pondering for a moment, Wei Changtian nodded in approval of such an arrangement.

According to the original plan, after Han Zhao led the army to leave, the Tiangou army would suddenly rush out to retake Guanghan City, and then cut off the logistical supplies of the imperial army.

Although the Tengu Army has only 1 people, it is a "mixed human and demon" special force after all. If even [-] recruits can't do it, it would be too stretching.

Besides, Han Zhao couldn't deliberately keep too few people, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion.

So this is a more appropriate arrangement.

"Just do it."

Looking at the big sun above his head, Wei Changtian said casually: "When the time comes, tell Chu Xianping about the deployment of Guanghan City, and he will make proper arrangements."

"Yes."

Han Zhao responded, and then asked, "My lord, are you planning to go to Niutoushan with the army, or go there first?"

"I'll go first, I'm not at ease over there."

Wei Changtian replied, "I'll go and arrange it again."

"Okay, then I don't know when the young master is going to leave?"
