I'm the villain in the book

Page 375

Without much hesitation, Ning Yuke quickly gave the answer that she had already told Wei Changtian.

"Senior, I am willing to try."

"it is good!"

After a brief surprise, an uncontrollable joy floated into Qing Xian's eyes.

It could be seen that she was really excited at the moment.

"Ning Nuwa, don't worry! This king will never treat you badly, let alone break his promise!"

"As long as you are willing to transform into a spirit, I can wait no matter how long! And I will definitely not force you!"

"If you really want to be the emperor of Daning, then you can do it for a few years or ten years, it doesn't matter!"

"Just don't forget what you just said!"

"..."

You can wait for ten years.

Maybe it's because Qing Xian has already lived to be [-] years old, so she really doesn't care about the past ten years.

Or maybe it was because she was afraid that Ning Yuke would regret it if she pushed too hard.

In short, Qingxian can be said to have no restrictions on Ning Yuke's spirit transformation time.

But the latter had already planned for it.

"Senior Qingxian, you know that Ning Yongnian and I have a family-destroying enmity."

"I must avenge this revenge, so I will never transform my spirit before that."

"But if one day I really get my revenge, there will always be someone to sit on the vacant dragon chair."

"If the master needs me to take that seat at that time, then senior will have to wait for a while."

"And if the master doesn't need me to sit, or if there is a more suitable candidate...then I will transform the spirit as soon as possible."

"I don't know how you feel about this?"

"..."

Ning Yuke had already preset the conditions for herself to transform into a spirit, which Qing Xian did not expect.

After pondering for a while, she suddenly asked a somewhat inexplicable question.

"Ning Nuwa, I know that Wei Changtian saved you, and I also know that he helped you become King of Shu."

"However... you are a smart person, you should know that he did this not all for you, but more for himself."

"To put it bluntly, he is just using you."

"It's understandable that you want to repay him, but how can you do this? You even want to serve him as master?"

"The king doesn't quite understand."

"..."

The carriage moved forward steadily, and the shouts of the people outside the sedan chair were still louder and louder.

Facing Qingxian's question, Ning Yuke just smiled and shook her head, and the intricately crafted Nine Phoenix Golden Crown in her hair also shook slightly.

"Senior, if you don't understand, then don't understand."

"Master, he understands as long as he understands."

......

......

that night.

Only three hours had passed since Ning Yuke's public speech, and all the [-] Shu troops had set off to Guanghan County in great force.

Liang Zhen served as the main general of this battle as General Zhengbei. From this temporary title, it is not difficult to see that Ning Yuke, or Wei Changtian's goal is not just to "defend Shuzhou".

Liang Qin, who had rekindled his "fighting spirit", also left with the army, but Wei Changtian had to leave two days later.

The reason why he had to wait two more days in Shuzhou City was of course that he still had business to do.

On the one hand, it is to integrate the forces of the Tianluo Sect and some Freemasons, and then form a "tactical squad" with "a small number of people, but a very high average combat power".

On the other hand, he had to meet Shen Ran again.

Before, Wei Changtian asked Ning Yuke to bring a message to Shen Ran, so that the latter had time to come to him.

As a result, after so many days, the Son of Heaven has not moved at all.

According to Ning Yuke, he and Gui Pei'an had been meditating inside the house all day long, and they hadn't even been out of the palace.

Good guy, Hengqu's four sentences are so powerful?After five or six days of comprehension, did not comprehend it?

Or do they have other ideas?Did you deliberately not come to find yourself?

Wei Changtian couldn't figure it out, and didn't bother to guess again.

I will go to Guanghan to command the war soon, so I won't have the time to take care of Shen Ran's affairs at that time.

So no matter what Shen Ran and Gui Pei'an were thinking, he was going to take the initiative tomorrow and talk to them directly.

It wasn't such a big deal.

After all, it's best to have an agreement, and you won't lose anything if you don't agree.

but......

"..."

"Shen Ran? The Holy Son of Kuixing Academy?"

In the study, Xu Suisui's eyes widened: "Is he handsome?!"

"Uh...it's okay."

Wei Changtian first replied against his will, and then praised sincerely: "But the temperament is good."

"Is it?!"

Xu Suisui's eyes suddenly stared.

"I'll go with you tomorrow!"

"Introduce me!"

Chapter 432

Early the next morning.

The latest "Beijing News" published Ning Yuke's "speech" yesterday in a full page, verbatim.

Since there is no subjective evaluation attached, it is not yet clear whether this move is considered "collaboration with the enemy".

In addition, Taichang Temple, which is in charge of managing the "newspaper industry", is now completely under the control of the Tongzhou Association, so the official level of Daning did not impose any punishment on the "Beijing News".

But in fact, neither Ning Yongnian nor the people of Daning care much about such "small things" anymore.

From the perspective of the former, Ning Yuke had absolutely no chance of winning when the 30 army crushed the past. When the time comes, "the will of the people" will naturally return to her side.

As for the latter, they may be more concerned about how much food prices have risen today than what Ning Yuke said.

After all, when life is a problem, who would have the leisure to take care of any "national affairs".

......

Before dawn, there were long queues at the gates of several grain shops in the capital.

Food prices are rising day by day, and even the capital city at the foot of the emperor has now risen to "sky-high prices."

But even if the price is already sky-high, this food is not something that can be bought just by buying it.

"Everyone! I'm sorry!"

"Our shop is out of food!"

"Go back! Come earlier tomorrow!"

"..."

Less than half an hour after the opening of the market, various grain shops put up the wooden signs saying "no grain today", and were about to close their doors one after another.

And those people who didn't buy food would naturally not agree.

"No food?! It's been like this for several days! What kind of grain shop do you run?!"

"There must be food! These profiteers must have seen the price of food soaring, so they deliberately didn't sell it to us!"

"Open the door! Open the door quickly! Otherwise, I will smash the door!"

"Hey, let's leave. I know the shopkeeper of this Da'an grain store. He is indeed a good person. There will be no food that will not be sold."

"If he says there is no food, then there is really no food."

"Here... let's go! Let's go to the food store on West Street."

"..."

After yelling outside the door for a long time, those who did not buy food finally left helplessly.

And even those who bought a small amount of food did not look very happy at this time.

The food I just bought is not only expensive, but also can't be eaten for a few days.

A few days later, I have to queue up again to grab food, but who can guarantee that I will be able to grab it?

If you can't grab it, you can only eat bran.

When the bran rice is finished, they can only drink porridge.

If things go on like this, white porridge will turn into porridge, porridge will turn into rice soup, and rice soup will turn into bark.

Then again?

Was starved to death?

Obviously, there have been no major natural disasters in Daning in recent years, and food prices have remained stable.

But why did the food on the market seem to disappear overnight?

Is it because of the war?

But even if there is a war, the price of food should not rise so fiercely...

Ordinary people can't figure it out, let alone know that the situation in other states is actually worse than the capital.

But Ning Yongnian, who was in the palace, knew this clearly.

He knows very well that the soaring price of grain in Daning is because there are countless profiteers hoarding grain.

He knew better that the one with the most hoards was a firm called "Yingfengsheng" that popped up out of nowhere.

Food is the most important thing for the people, no matter what, the price of food must come down.

Therefore, Ning Yongnian decided a few days ago to use violent means to quickly solve this problem.

but......

"Emperor, Your Majesty, yesterday there were thirteen fires in Yingfengsheng granaries in various states, and there was not a grain of grain left in the granaries..."

"Your Majesty! They made it clear that they are not trying to make money, but want to cholera and make the world peaceful!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that someone must have informed Yingfengsheng about this matter in advance, otherwise why would they burn all the food before the official arrival?!"

"Your Majesty, the grain market in Daning can no longer be in chaos! Let's open a granary to help the market!"

"..."

In the early court, a group of officials expressed their opinions in fear or anger.

On the other hand, Ning Yongnian sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression, his eyes fixed on one person for a long time.

Undoubtedly, it was Wei Xianzhi with a calm expression.

"Wei Qing, what do you think I should do?"

"..."
