I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 380
When night fell, several carriages had already left the boundary of Fengyuan.

On the swaying carriage, Chu Xianping silently put away the mother-of-child jade, looked at Wei Changtian who was thinking about something, and said softly:
"My lord, You Jia hasn't replied to your letter for a whole day."

"."

The palm resting on his knee trembled slightly, Wei Changtian lowered his head.

"I know, wait a few more days, maybe it's inconvenient for her to send you a letter at this time."

"it is good."

In response, Chu Xianping probably wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it in the end.

Both he and Wei Changtian knew that there were only two possibilities for Youjia not replying.

First, she did not assassinate Ning Yongnian yesterday, and now she did not reply to the letter just because of inconvenience.

Second, she failed to assassinate Ning Yongnian yesterday, and then
Since Yu Jia has served the Puppet Pill, there is no possibility of You Jia's rebellion.

In other words, the consequence of her betrayal is actually no different from being directly killed by Ning Yongnian.

are all dead.

Sighing lightly, Chu Xianping stopped talking.

On the contrary, Du Chang hesitated for a moment and then asked suddenly:
"Young master, I've always been curious about one thing."

Slightly different from others, Chu Xianping and Du Chang never showed much grief and indignation towards the Yuanzhou City incident.

But Wei Changtian knew that the former was deliberately hiding his emotions, while the latter probably didn't really care much.

Perhaps in Du Chang's view, this is still a good thing.

After all, Dafeng's [-] elites were wiped out, and Ning Yongnian's next plan must be to fight back and point his sword at Fengyuan. He had absolutely no time to take care of the Wei family and Shuzhou in a short time, and gave Wei Changtian time to grow stronger again.

As for the two million Daning people who were "buried with them", Du Chang may think that it has nothing to do with them.

From another point of view, this idea is actually correct.

but
"Just ask."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian glanced at Du Chang.

"Yes."

The latter thought for a while, and then asked: "My lord, but I don't know what you wanted from Li Qi before?"

"My lord, please don't get me wrong, the villain just feels a little unwilling."

"We have spent so much time and energy on Yan Luo's matter, but in the end we got nothing. It's a pity."

"."

It turned out to be this problem.

For a moment, Wei Changtian didn't answer directly.

He was silent for a long while, and then said in a low voice:
"It's nothing to regret, in fact, Li Qi doesn't have such a thing now."

"there is none left?"

Du Chang looked puzzled, wondering what kind of riddle Wei Changtian was playing.

On the contrary, Chu Xianping on the side suddenly widened his eyes slightly, and asked in disbelief:
"Young master, your original condition was to withdraw troops?!"

"."

The bumpy car suddenly fell into silence, which also confirmed Chu Xianping's guess from the side.

indeed.

Wei Changtian used "killing Yan Luo" as a bargaining chip at the beginning, and the condition he proposed to Li Qi was "Da Feng withdraws troops".

It's hard to say what kind of mentality he had for raising such a condition at the time.

Perhaps it was because I had just watched a movie about the harm caused by war to ordinary people before traveling.

Perhaps it was because of the education he received in his previous life that he instinctively disliked fighting.

Or maybe it was because Wei Changtian had "no desires and no desires" at that time, so he suddenly wanted to be a "hero" like Xiao Feng.
But no matter what the reason was, he did put forward such a condition to Li Qi.

Da Feng withdrew his troops and returned peace to the people of the two countries.

In fact, if Qin Zhengqiu hadn't swung that sword at noon, and if Li Qi hadn't had to wait until July [-]th to fulfill his promise, Wei Changtian would have saved three million people by accident life.

But unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world.

Looking back now, Wei Changtian only felt how ridiculous his thoughts were at the time.

He wants to trade peace in this childish way.

Ning Yongnian traded the lives of three million people for the war.
"Hehe, it's ridiculous."

With a hint of self-mockery on the corner of his mouth, Wei Changtian slowly closed his eyes.

Chu Xianping and Du Chang looked at each other with complicated emotions, but neither spoke again.

To be honest, they actually have a little respect for Wei Changtian in their hearts at the moment.

No matter what the result was, they were able to put away a country's treasures under the circumstances at that time, but instead put forward a condition that was not beneficial to themselves. Few people were able to do this kind of thing.

Not to mention someone like Wei Changtian.

Therefore, they admired it, but they also knew that this might be the last time Wei Changtian did such a thing.

This is not because Wei Changtian did something wrong.

It's because things in this world are just so weird.

Often the more "truth, goodness and beauty" something is, the harder it is to get good results.

The reason may be that most people do not live so "good".

So in their view, a life that is too "good" and things that are too "good" are destined to be just a joke.

Three days later.

The story of Yuanzhou City being destroyed was spread all over the world, Fengning and Ningxia each insisted on their own opinions, and each had a set of arguments to push all the faults on the other side.

Of course, as Dabong, who also suffered a heavy loss in this incident, his rhetoric will undoubtedly appear more credible.

However, for the people of Daning, they are more willing to believe Ning Yongnian's explanation of "the city was massacred and then condemned by God" out of instinct.

Five days later.

The [-] Daning troops held a three-day and three-night sacrifice ceremony outside Yuanzhou City.

One is to comfort the three million souls who died overnight.

The second is to swear an oath to rectify the name of the upcoming counter-offensive.

Seeing the city full of charred corpses, the angry roars of Daning soldiers spread far and wide, and countless people rushed to Yuanzhou City to see off the righteous teacher.

ten days later.

Daning's army crossed the Mang River, crossed the Gobi in the Western Desert, and arrived at Dafeng Huailing Mansion. Regardless of the exhaustion of the march, they violently attacked the city that day.

The two sides fought for a whole day, and the floating corpses were all over the field, but there was no loess.

Fifteen days later.

Huailingfu City was destroyed, and the Daning army continued to advance to the hinterland of Dafeng.

Hearing that the front line had won, the whole country in Daning rejoiced.

There was a sudden heavy rain in Yuanzhou City, which lasted for three days.

Outside Yuanzhou City, Meishan.

"My lord, Ning Yongnian has returned to Beijing."

Standing in the rain curtain, Chu Xianping turned his head to look at Wei Changtian who was already drenched, and added in a complicated tone:

"However, the members of the same boat club have never seen You Jia."

"."

Taking a deep breath, Wei Changtian seemed extremely tired, and he didn't know if it was because of the continuous "union" that caused heavy rain for three days.

Looking at the vast ruins under his feet shrouded in the majestic rain, he was silent for a long time, and then slowly sat on a piece of bluestone.

Yuanzhou City, as quiet as a tombstone, and a man as motionless as a stone sculpture.

Chu Xianping and Du Chang just stood behind Wei Changtian, not saying a word in the rainstorm.

Until a voice slowly sounded amidst the whimpering of the rain.

"Tell the Freemasons that the truth about Prince Shun's extermination and the fact that Princess Rou'an is not dead will spread throughout the thirty-six states within ten days."

"Tell Ning Yuke again, let her make all the preparations."

"Within a month, I want her to be the Southwest King of Daning."
