I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 550 Xueluo is silent

It's been said before.

When Li Qi stopped pretending to be stupid and rejected the fifth condition, it was impossible for him to live.

What's more, now that Ning Yongnian is anxious to go back to deal with Ning Wenjun, he has no time to take care of Dafeng's affairs.

Under such circumstances, killing Li Qi, taking Li Wutong away, and letting Dafeng fall into "no owner" chaos is the simplest and most direct approach.

Li Wutong was taken away because she might still play a role in dealing with Wei Changtian in the future.

And Li Qi was obviously of no value to Wei Changtian, so if he killed him, he would kill him.

In fact, if Li Wutong could stick to the bottom line during the negotiations that day and refused to agree to the last condition even if he was killed, then Li Qi might not have to "expose", and Ning Yongnian might have saved his life today.

But there are no "ifs".

In the future, Li Wutong will think about these things one day. At that time, she must be heartbroken and extremely remorseful, but there is no way to do it all over again.

It can only be said that no matter what, Li Qi got his wish. In the end, he used his life to preserve the reputation of the Li family and the more than one million people in Huailing City.

And as for whether he will die or not
"Young master, this is all the situation in the city in the past few days."

Just when Ning Yongnian ordered Li Qi to be executed in public, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi had already stayed in an inn in the south of the city, and met the spies of the Freemasonry in Huailing City.

After learning that Ning Yongnian was coming to Huailing, Chu Xianping had already sent people to hide in the city in advance, in order to inquire about some news as soon as possible.

However, these spies were too low-level after all to find out too many inside stories, and there were no people in the same boat meeting among the envoys in Daning's peace talks this time.

So Wei Changtian actually doesn't know too many details of the negotiation that day, nor does he know what Ning Yongnian's plan is now.

Even the "fifth condition" that has never been agreed upon is just a guess between him and Yang Liushi, which has not been verified so far.

"."

"okay, I get it."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi looked at each other, and took a sip of tea helplessly.

The spy chattered for a long time, but there was basically no useful information. It seemed that he had to check it out by himself.

"Where does Ning Yongnian live now? Have you found out about this?"

"Back to the son, I couldn't find out."

The spy lowered his head in shame: "But judging from the distribution of guards in the city, Ning Yongnian should live in the government office."

"Well, where is Li Qiguan?" Wei Changtian asked again.

"I don't know this villain, but presumably he is in the Yamen Prison."

"."

Good guy, it's "should" and "want to come", that's how you do intelligence work?
I complained in my heart, but didn't say anything.

Wei Changtian also understood that it was really difficult for these spies to find out such secrets, so he waved his hand to let the latter leave.

But before he could speak, the three of them suddenly heard a commotion outside the window.

It is not like an ordinary street dispute, but more like a word-of-mouth discussion after some major event happened.

"Ok?"

Frowning slightly, Wei Changtian winked at the spy.

"It's the son, the villain is going to investigate now!"

The latter immediately understood, cupped his hands and quickly exited the room.

The door closed gently with a "squeak", and soon there were only Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi left in the room.

"My lord, are you going to find out when Ning Yongnian plans to bring his troops back to Beijing?"

After filling Wei Changtian's teacup, Yang Liushi asked softly, "I don't know how to check it?"

"Find an opportunity to tie someone up and ask."

Wei Changtian played with the tea cover, and replied casually: "I guess Ning Yongnian won't wait too long, but if you know the exact time, you can set up an ambush in advance."

"Ah."

Yang Liushi nodded, but there was some worry in her eyes: "It's just my son, can the Tiangou Army really stop a hundred thousand people?"

"Haha, you should be more aware of the strength of the Tengu Army than I am."

Wei Changtian smiled and said, "What, no confidence?"

"There is confidence."

Yang Liushi frowned slightly: "But Ning Yongnian now has too many upper third-rank masters. Counting him, there are five second-rank masters alone."

"It is"

Wei Changtian moved his neck noncommittally.

What Yang Liushi said is correct, almost all the masters under Ning Yongnian are now in Dafeng.

Li Huaizhong, Wu Ding, Bai Youheng, and a general named Liao Fangming.

If you add Ning Yongnian himself, it is indeed five second-rank.

On the other hand, there is none on my side.

But who is going to confront them head-on?
Fighting pays attention to one's own strengths and the other's weaknesses.

Since the biggest advantage of the Tiangou army is its strong mobility and strong individual combat power, then unless I am out of my mind, I will not be tough with Ning Yongnian's [-] army.

It must be guerrilla warfare!
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Smiling and comforting Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian was just about to say something else.

But at this time, the noise outside the window was even louder, as if the whole Huailing City was in chaos.

"Young master, I'm going to listen to you."

Yang Liushi couldn't bear the doubts in her heart, so she didn't wait for the spies to come back, she got up and went to the window and opened the wooden window, ready to hear what caused the noise.

As time went by, the expression on her face gradually became more and more surprised.

After dozens of breaths, Yang Liushi suddenly turned around, wanting to immediately tell Wei Changtian who was still sitting at the table what he heard.

And the latter had just put a piece of mother-of-child jade and the codebook into his arms at this time, and happened to look up.

"Needless to say, I already know."

With complicated eyes, Wei Changtian said softly, "You go out first, I want to think about something by myself."

"."

Opening her mouth slightly, Yang Liushi froze for a moment, but didn't say much.

"Okay, the servant will wait outside the door."

Lianbu moved lightly, pushed open the door and came to the corridor outside the house.

Yang Liushi had just turned around and gently closed the door, when she turned her head and saw the Masonic spies hurrying over here.

"Miss Yang, something big has happened!"

The spy quickly walked closer, lowered his voice and hurriedly said: "In less than an hour, Li Qi will be executed in the street at Caishikou!"

"Is the young master in the house? The villain is going to settle this matter now"

"No need, son, he already knows."

Shaking her head, Yang Liushi looked at the door worriedly: "He wants to be alone for a while, so don't bother him anymore."

"This"

The spy paused when he was about to push the door, looked at Yang Liushi, and then at the tightly closed door.

Of course he didn't dare to disobey Yang Liushi's meaning, so he had no choice but to stop and guard the door quietly with the latter.

The noise spread from the street into the inn, making a mess like boiling water.

The minds of the two may not be the same at this time, but neither of them can actually guess what Wei Changtian is thinking.

Because just before the hundred breaths, when Yang Liushi was listening to the discussion outside the house by the window, Wei Changtian happened to receive a message from Chu Xianping.

This message not only explained the noise outside the house, but also sent a rather shocking information, as well as a somewhat difficult decision
[Today's application time, Ning Yongnian will behead Li Qi in public in the downtown area of ​​Huailing City. 】

[In addition, Miss Xu and Master Qin want to rob the court. 】

[Also, I can stop this move, but I don't know if it is necessary? 】

[I also hope that the young master will make a decision as soon as possible. 】
