I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 532 Peace Talks (Upper Middle)
"Peace talk?"

The carriage was still galloping in the endless Gobi, and Wei Changtian learned the news that night.

Ning Yongnian arrived at Huailing City in the morning, met Li Wutong in the afternoon, and he got the letter in the evening.

This speed is not because Wei Changtian's intelligence network in Huailing City has reached the point where his hands and eyes are open to the sky, but simply because the peace talks are now well known in Huailing.

There is no doubt that Ning Yongnian took the initiative to release the news.

He not only wants to talk, but it is not a "closed door negotiation", but will invite many generals and ministers of the two countries to participate.

On Daning's side are Honglu Temple officials in charge of diplomacy, and the generals headed by Wu Ding.

On Dafeng's side are the civil servants and military generals who accompanied Li Qi to Huailing.

Of course, in negotiations, especially negotiations between two countries, it is normal for both sides to send more people.

But this time it was too much.

What's more important is that the negotiation time is also very outrageous, it was set for tomorrow morning.

Good guy, arrived today, talk tomorrow.

Don't you need to prepare?

Also, why is Ning Yongnian so anxious?
"Zhang San."

Frowning and thinking for a while, Wei Changtian raised his head and asked, "How long before we can reach Huailing?"

"Return to son, two days."

Zhang San replied, and immediately added: "If you drive faster, you can arrive early in the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"It's just that the horse may lose strength in this way, and may be exhausted halfway through the journey."

"Well, as soon as possible."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian closed the car curtain again without forcing anything.

Looking at the thoughtful Yang Liushi, the two of them did not speak, but were thinking about this "peace talk".

It's not that Wei Changtian never thought that Ning Yongnian would have peace talks with Li Qi.

After all, war in reality is not about playing computer games. As long as you win, you can easily occupy the enemy's territory.

This also involves many issues such as "national assimilation" and "people's support".

If Ning Yongnian hadn't suffered such a big loss in Shuzhou, then he might still have the ability and energy to slowly figure it out, swallowing all the big gifts into Daning's territory.

But now there is not so much time for him, he has to deal with Dafeng's matter in a short time, and then turn around to deal with the increasingly powerful Shu Kingdom.

And "peace talks" are the means to stabilize the situation in Dafeng as quickly as possible.

Of course, it is said to be "peace talks", but the essence must be that Daning unilaterally raised conditions.

Wei Changtian didn't know what conditions Ning Yongnian would raise, but it was certain that the lion would open his mouth.

As for Li Qi's bottom line
"Young master, this is not good news for us."

Suddenly, Yang Liushi said softly: "If the negotiation is really successful, then it will be even more difficult for us to kill Ning Yongnian."

"."

"Yes."

Nodding helplessly, Wei Changtian sighed lightly: "But if the talks come to fruition, it will be a good thing for the people of the two countries."

"Well, my son is right."

Yang Liushi smiled: "But I still hope that they can't agree."

"The slave family doesn't have the heart to accommodate the common people in the world. I just hope that the young master will be as good as he wants."

"Uh"

Turning his head and looking at Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian originally wanted to tease, "Your breasts are not small at all", but in the end he held back and just said casually:
"I wish I could be happy, but now everything is not going well."

"Hehehe, young master is really dissatisfied."

Yang Liushi joked with a smile: "What else do you need to be satisfied?"

"Naturally, the world is one, with no restraints and wives and concubines in groups."

"Hehehe, which of the three do you think is the most difficult?"

"Nonsense, of course the first one is the hardest."

"But the slave family thinks the second is the most difficult."

Yang Liushi's voice suddenly became softer and more serious.

"If one day the son really achieves the unity of the world and his wives and concubines, how can he be unrestrained?"

"Only those who have nothing to worry about can truly be free from restraint."

"Young master, are you right?"

"Ok?"

Looking at Yang Liushi's expression, Wei Changtian suddenly realized that she seemed to be implying something.

After a while of silence, his tone was no longer casual.

"Are you talking about Li Wutong?"

"Yes."

Yang Liushi nodded slightly: "Young Master, Princess Wuping is now in Huailing City, and she must have met Ning Yongnian."

"Maybe you should have thought about it earlier"

"."

Yang Liushi didn't finish her words, but Wei Changtian understood the meaning.

Obviously, Ning Yongnian did not directly "break his promise" at the moment, but still gave Li Wutong a glimmer of hope.

What he wants to do can be understood with his ass, and it must be to take Li Wutong into full control, not just as a hostage.

As for whether Li Wutong herself is willing to be such a "puppet". Under the temptation of "Bao Quan Da Feng", she may give up everything.

So when the time comes, what should I do?
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Smiling at Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window.

The night was thick, and the outlines of the dark clouds gradually melted away, like ink soaked with water, and the clusters were not very clear.

It seems to be answering Yangliu's poem, and it seems to be talking to himself.

Wei Changtian squinted his eyes, and slowly said a sentence without beginning or end.

"The general is not dead, he can still come back."

"Some people deserve it, and some people don't."

The next day, the hour.

Huailing City, government office.

Bai Xue collects the waning moon, and the cold wind disperses Xiaoxia.

Without warning, Huailing just fell the first snow of this winter.

Unlike Shuzhou, which rarely snows, Huailing Mansion is located farther north, so there are several heavy snowfalls every year.

It's just that this year's snow seems to be too early, and I can't wait to come just after winter.

Flock-like snowflakes fluttered in the air one after another, and when they fell on the ground and the eaves, they turned into ice water, and when they fell on people, they were covered with a layer of white.

Daning soldiers in "white robes" were already standing around the government office. Dozens of Fengning officials in different clothes stepped up the long stone steps and entered the main hall one by one.

They are the officials of both parties who will participate in the peace talks.

It might not be appropriate to say "participation".

At least for Daning officials, they all understand that their mission is actually just to "witness".

Including the ceremony officer standing outside the door, ready to "convey" the progress of the negotiation to the people at all times.

Everyone knew very well that there were actually only two parties in this negotiation.

Ning Yongnian and Li Qi.

And given that the latter's IQ is not much stronger than that of a three-year-old child, his role may be replaced by Li Wutong.

"."

"His Royal Highness, I will come as soon as I start my pilgrimage, please take a seat first."

In the main hall, an official lowered his head and cupped his hands towards Li Wutong.

The latter has now put on clean clothes, and his hair is neatly done, and he is no longer the same as yesterday.

"Um"

Responding softly, Li Wutong looked at the officials from the two countries who were sitting upright in the room, and then turned his head to look outside the room.

The cold wind is piercing, the world is white, desolate and empty.

Looking at this snow scene, Li Wutong was a little dazed for a while.

However, as Ning Yongnian came out from behind the screen, the palace door was slowly closed.
