I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 549 The Fierce King Has Loyal Ministers
When Li Huaizhong walked into the quiet room tremblingly, he only felt that he was suddenly in the ice cellar in the cold winter months.

The cold and biting air filled every corner, surrounding Ning Yongnian who was like a beast.

He has assisted two emperors successively, and has been with Ning Yongnian for more than ten years. This is the first time Li Huaizhong has seen the latter lose his composure.

You must know that even after the imperial army experienced a big defeat at Niutoushan, the unfathomable Emperor Daning did not react as he just did.

It's as if Ning Yongnian should always have a character that doesn't show his emotions or anger.

But now it seems that his emotions can no longer be suppressed.

"."

Not daring to look at those eyes that seemed to be able to swallow people alive, Li Huaizhong buried his head very low, his voice trembling slightly.

"Emperor, Your Majesty."

"Old, this old slave is guilty, please return to the emperor."

"Without further ado!"

Before Li Huaizhong could finish his apology, a furious voice interrupted him.

"How's it going?!"

"."

The cold air almost condensed into dry ice. In the extremely tense atmosphere, Li Huaizhong swallowed with difficulty.

If possible, he would kill Ning Yongnian, but he would not want to touch Ning Yongnian's misfortune at this time, but since the matter is so important, it is impossible for him not to report it. In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply in a trembling voice:
"Back, back to the emperor"

"The old slave has passed on your will to the eight state capitals near the capital, no, but."

"However, only Tan and Lu prefectures have replied, and the other six prefectures have not received any reply yet."

"Only two states."

Ning Yongnian's face became even colder in an instant, he took a deep breath to suppress his anger and asked, "When did they say they would send troops?!"

"Gudu."

Swallowing again, Li Huaizhong's expression must be as ugly as it is now.

"Emperor, Your Majesty."

"Tanlu and Luzhou states that they have no soldiers to use, so..."

"No, we won't send troops to the capital."

"."

"boom!!"

With a loud noise, Huang Liumu's desk instantly exploded into countless pieces.

But it's not over yet.

I saw Ning Yongnian suddenly waving his palms like crazy, smashing everything he saw in an instant.

For a while, it was difficult to find a complete object in the entire quiet room, and there were only fragments of smoke and dust flying in the sky, and the madness swept by the true energy.

Fortunately, Li Huaizhong and Wu Ding, who just rushed in from the door, are both second-rank. If it is a warrior with a weaker realm, even if they are not deliberately targeted, they may not be able to fight against this indiscriminate true energy. Hold out too long in the storm.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

There was a continuous muffled sound, and countless fragments that were no longer made of porcelain or wood were flying around.

Neither Li Huaizhong nor Wu Ding dared to move, let alone persuade Ning Yongnian to calm down, they just stood there, letting the debris hit their bodies.

They all knew that if they made a sound at this time, Ning Yongnian's next palm would most likely come at them.

After all, the latter is obviously already in a state of anger. It can even be said that he has lost his temper.

In fact, Li Huaizhong and Wu Ding can somewhat understand Ning Yongnian's mood.

The latter had ordered the eight state capitals around the capital to immediately send troops to retake the capital yesterday.

But until now, most of the time has passed, but only Tanzhou and Luzhou wrote back and found a reason to shirk.

The other six states didn't even find a reason, and chose to turn a blind eye.

Undoubtedly, even though these eight states have not explicitly expressed their support for Ning Wenjun, they are definitely trying to adapt to the situation and wait to see the future situation before making plans.

As for the remaining [-] or more states, they will have the same attitude if they think about it.

And this means that it is basically impossible for Ning Yongnian to mobilize every single soldier in Daning.

In just two days, he was usurped by his own son, and lost control of Daning in an instant.

This feeling of "losing everything" overnight may only be understood by those who have experienced it.

But the "everything" that ordinary people can lose is probably two different concepts from the "everything" that Ning Yongnian has lost now.

You know, what the latter lost was a country.

This is undoubtedly completely unacceptable to Ning Yongnian, an emperor who has the great ambition of "unifying the world" and can be regarded as a talented emperor at the same time.

but
"emperor!"

Suddenly, as if Wu Ding had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his head, blushing and shouting loudly:

"Don't forget that you still have [-] troops in Dafeng!"

"Now the First Prince's foundation is still unstable! Even if the states dare to disregard the sacred order, they will definitely not obey the First Prince's orders!"

"So as long as you lead an army back, it will not be difficult to take back the capital!"

"As long as you re-enter the palace, we can liquidate these traitors and rebels one by one!"

"Your Majesty! Everything has not yet been settled! The situation is far from irreversible!"

"At this time, you should be more calm!!"

"Your Majesty! Don't be blinded by anger!!"

"."

Kneeling straight on the ground, Wu Ding looked straight at Ning Yongnian without fear, and his words were even more sharp.

The flying debris hit the general's armor, making a "ding dong ding dong" sound, but it couldn't cover up his roar of "remonstrating with death".

There is no doubt that Wu Ding took a huge risk in doing so.

But he did it anyway.

Although from the perspective of God, he can be regarded as the number one accomplice of Ning Yongnian's numerous crimes.

But from another perspective, he is also a loyal minister who is utterly loyal and devoted to the Lord.

At the very least, compared to Li Huaizhong, Wu Ding is definitely much more courageous.

Perhaps, the general's mind should be "simple".

"."

The roar of dripping blood beating the heart still echoed in the quiet room, every word was like a stick, as if Ning Yongnian had been dealt a blow to the head.

The violent zhenqi stopped abruptly in an instant, and a sliver of clarity returned to the latter's red eyes.

Ning Yongnian just lowered his head and stared at Wu Ding, then slowly closed his eyes after a few breaths.

The pulsating dragon robe fell, and the slightly trembling hands became stable.

"you're right."

"I lost my mind"

"."

I lost my temper.

This is the first time Li Huaizhong and Wu Ding heard Ning Yongnian "admit his mistakes".

And this undoubtedly means that the latter has finally regained his sanity.

"General Wu."

Sure enough, when Ning Yongnian opened his eyes again after a while, the blood in his eyes had faded away, leaving behind only a gloomy calm.

"Order the soldiers who are still stationed in Dafeng to break out of the camp immediately and march eastward to chase us."

"Let the soldiers in Huailing City prepare their weapons immediately."

"Tonight, I will personally lead the army back to Beijing!"

With the [-] people stationed in Huailing City as the vanguard, and the [-] people scattered throughout Dafeng as the rear army, Ning Yongnian actually wants to lead the army back to the capital tonight.

Such a choice of his may seem a little impatient, but it is actually very reasonable.

After all, if the situation in Daning drags on for another day, there will be more variables, and it will be even more unfavorable to him.

Therefore, taking back the capital as quickly as possible is definitely the most correct decision.

Of course, this also means that the plan of "messing up Dafeng" has basically gone bankrupt.

Not to mention the "Huailing Alliance" that has not yet been signed, even the most basic "land cede compensation" is gone.

Fortunately, Dafeng's royal blood is now in his hands.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with Li Qi and Li Wutong?"

On the other side, Li Huaizhong saw that Ning Yongnian had recovered his "wisdom", so he finally dared to speak at this moment.

"But you want to take them back together and make plans?"

"Bring back?"

Ning Yongnian glanced at him with a cold tone.

"Li Wutong may be useful in the future, so let her live for the time being."

"As for Li Qi, he was killed in a busy city an hour later."
