I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 543

Huailing City.

When Ning Yongnian was dispatching troops and making arrangements secretly, waiting for Wei Changtian's arrival, Xu Suisui and others who set out first were already in a certain inn in the north of the city.

"Girl, the fifth condition still hasn't come to fruition. I'm afraid we haven't reached an agreement."

In a guest room on the top floor, the innkeeper was nodding and bowing to report the latest situation of the peace talks to Xu Suisui.

"The villain will continue the discussion tomorrow. Don't worry, girl, the villain will always send someone to guard him. If there is any trouble, he will tell the girl in time."

"Okay, then I would like to thank the shopkeeper."

Nodding, Xu Suisui stood up and handed over a small piece of broken silver.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately put a smile on his face, bowed and retreated out of the room.

"Auntie, you rest, the villain will go out first."

"If there are other things that need to be done by the villain, the girl can just tell her."

"Squeak~"

There was a sound from the not-so-smooth wooden door, and Xu Suisui shook his head helplessly seeing the shopkeeper leaving happily.

Alas, the millions of people in Huailing City don't know that they are actually only a short distance away from seeing the sun tomorrow.

If he knew, I'm afraid the shopkeeper wouldn't be so happy just for a few pieces of silver.

Silently walked back to the table and sat down, the window behind him was not closed tightly, and a cold wind blew in.

Xu Suisui shivered, got up and wanted to close the window.

When she closed the window, she glanced outside, only to realize that the snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping at all.

Although it has been down for a whole day, but according to this posture, it is estimated that it will continue to fall for a long time.

"Strange, I remember that it was not written in the book that it will snow in Huailing."

With a puzzled mutter, he slowly closed the window.

Xu Suisui sat on the edge of the bed a little uneasy, staring at the flickering candle without moving.

The outcome of Huailing's peace talks is no different from what is written in the book, at least it seems to be the case now.

There were five conditions in total, Dafeng agreed to four, and the last one was firmly rejected by Li Qi, which eventually led to the breakdown of the negotiation.

And the situation in the capital city should not change much.

The Wei family will support Ning Wenjun's ascension to the throne, and will also reveal the shocking news of "the real murderer in Yuanzhou City", which will put Ning Yongnian in a very embarrassing situation.

From a "jurisprudential" point of view, Ning Wenjun has successfully usurped the throne and became the new Emperor Daning.

From the perspective of "people's hearts", the name of "the fierce king" is firmly established, and the states are vacillating.

In terms of "strength", apart from the [-] troops left in Dafeng, it is difficult to mobilize a single soldier in the country.

Ning Yongnian ended up in this situation just by leaving Beijing to negotiate a negotiation. I have to say that Wei Changtian's plan this time is very bold, and it has indeed achieved very good results.

As for the further development of the incident.
That was the part Xu Suisui wanted to change.

However, now all this seems to have gone wrong.

Turning his head to glance at the falling snowflakes outside the window, Xu Suisui didn't know if he was thinking too much.

But she always felt that the heavy snow that shouldn't have fallen seemed to be heralding something.

In the early morning of the next day, Daning Palace.

From the fierce battle for the city wall to the fights all over the palace.

Although Xuan Jingsi had already breached the Zhengyang Gate and entered the palace when he was in Zishi, the whole battle was actually not completely over until the end of Yinshi.

With the fall of the last stubborn red armored soldier, a total of [-] imperial guards were completely wiped out.

More than [-] people died in battle, more than [-] were disabled, and more than [-] surrendered.

The Xuanjing Division, the Duwei Mansion, and the Chengbei Army also paid the price of nearly [-] casualties.

So it seems that the number of casualties on both sides is actually about the same.

But we must know that the Wei family took the upper hand in this battle.

Not only was the attack very sudden, there was almost no time for the imperial guards to deploy their defenses, and the "high-end combat power" was completely dominant.

Under normal circumstances, the general configuration of the Imperial Guard is one general plus five deputy generals.

As a result, who would have thought that the main general Han Zhao would directly rebel and kill four lieutenants before the battle started.

As a result, the top combat power of the imperial guards is actually only a third-rank deputy general.

On the Wei family side, Han Zhao and Wei Zhaohai are two second ranks, plus more than ten third rank masters.

But even so, the two sides still fought "evenly matched". As a result, it can only be said that the combat power of the Imperial Guard is second to none in Daning.

Of course, no matter how powerful this former imperial red armor army was, it no longer exists now.

All that was left was a grisly corpse.

"Inspect each corpse carefully to see if there are any survivors!"

"Move everything that has been checked to the car and take it away!"

"Send our people to Yizhuang! The imperial guards send them to mass graves!"

"Hurry up!"

"No one is allowed to embezzle the war profit! Once discovered, the military law will serve!"

"Hurry up! Clean up the surroundings of the Hall of Supreme Harmony first!!"

"."

All kinds of shouts echoed in the morning mist, mixed with the disgusting bloody smell that shrouded the huge palace in fear.

It will undoubtedly take a long time to deal with more than [-] corpses, and it is definitely not something that can be completed in a morning.

But even though the entire imperial palace is covered with severed limbs and blood, the Hall of Supreme Harmony still opened its doors as soon as Maoshi arrived.

The opening of the hall door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony means that the morning court will continue as usual today.

"Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Gong is here!"

"Left Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Lord Ran is here!"

"Master of Dali Temple, Mr. Li is here!"

"Young Master of Taichang Temple, Lord Yu is here!"

"Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Mr. Tang is here!"

"."

The eunuch with a strange face stood on the side of the long stone steps embossed with Yunlong, and would shout loudly every time he saw someone walking up the stone steps.

Most of the court officials whose names were called by him lowered their heads and ignored them, and walked even more slowly, as if their legs and heads were heavy with lead.

Undoubtedly, they knew that today's "early court" was caused by Wei Xianzhi.

However, no matter how frightened and reluctant they are, they still "have to" show up on time.

Of course, many of them already knew what to expect.

But there are also quite a few people who don't know about it.
The rising sun and Zhu Louguang, the east wind shocks the world.

The rays of the sun pierced through the smog, casting a layer of golden red on the row upon row of walls and houses in the capital.

It's just that this scene, which was originally beautiful and brilliant like a treasure, now seems a bit dead and silent.

It seems that in the entire capital, only the imperial palace still has a trace of life
"what!"

On the one hundred and second level of the Yunlong relief, a man in a vermilion official uniform with a white pheasant embroidered on his chest suddenly let out an exclamation.

The name of this person is Ruan Tianfu, and he is a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang. He is only a fifth-rank official.

This kind of official position can barely squeeze into the court, but when they go to court, they can only stand in the last row.

And the reason why he exclaimed just now was because he happened to catch a glimpse of a severed hand hanging on the stone fence.

Only two of the five fingers of this severed hand remain, and the remaining three fingers are all missing, and the bones and flesh are clearly visible at the fracture.

Ruan Tianfu was accidentally startled just because he passed by this hand.

"."

He stroked his chest lightly and took a steady breath.

Ruan Tianfu quietly raised his eyes to look around, and found that none of his colleagues nearby noticed his embarrassment, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony not far away.

However, after he walked a few steps, he stopped suddenly, turned around and looked back hesitantly.

At this time, another court official happened to walk to the side of the severed hand.

"My lord."

Opening his mouth, Ruan Tianfu seemed to want to remind this person not to be frightened by the bloody broken palm like himself.

But the person who came didn't look up at all, or didn't hear Ruan Tianfu's words at all, and just walked over with his head down.

Ruan Tianfu was stunned, and then realized that he was too self-indulgent.

If you can't protect yourself right now, how can you care about others.
