I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 553 Xueluo Silence (Part [-])
On the east side of the execution ground, behind a certain half-closed wooden window.

Wei Changtian was not mistaken, Li Wutong is indeed in this room now.

And Ning Yongnian was sitting on the wooden chair not far behind her, his eyelids were slightly closed, and his expression was unusually calm.

There was deathly silence outside the house, and the atmosphere in the house was even more desperate and treacherous to the extreme.

There are only the last few sentences of the verdict recited by the supervisor and beheading officer in the distance. If this continues, Li Qi's head will fall to the ground after a hundred breaths at most.

Although Li Wutong couldn't move or speak, his face was facing the execution ground.

She could clearly see everything that was happening on the execution ground. If she hadn't closed her eyes.

This "avoidance" is a very normal reaction.

No matter how desperate, remorse, unwillingness, and pain Li Wutong felt at the moment, she couldn't watch Li Qi die in front of her own eyes.

Tears have already dried up, leaving only numbness.

If I had to use one word to describe my mood at this time, it would be "heart like dead ashes".

The real heart is as dead ashes.
"call!"

The snow that hadn't been cleaned up on the window sills hadn't melted yet, and there were snowflakes in the sky again.

Bai Xue was slapped on Li Wutong's face by the cold wind, and she burst into tears after it melted away.

But she couldn't feel the cold anymore.

It seems to be covered by closed eyelids, and it seems that the whole person has fallen into the abyss.

In this way, Li Wutong was surrounded by the boundless darkness, and completely lost the last trace of nostalgia for this world.

From Princess Wuping, who is loved by the people, to now there is only an empty shell without a soul.

In just half a year, she had nothing left.

After losing her "charitable" mother, she lost her identity as a "human", lost her family and country, and was about to lose her biological father
Everything she cared about has gone away, if there is anything that has not been completely lost, it should be Wei Changtian.

No.

Perhaps even Wei Changtian himself has lost
"An extremely stupid woman like you really doesn't deserve Wei Changtian to go to war like this."

In a trance, a sentence flashed in my mind.

Li Wutong's body trembled involuntarily, and his breathing became short of breath.

She seemed to be in extreme pain, and she was in so much pain that she didn't want to continue living.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Princess."

"Tell me, is Wei Changtian hiding in the crowd right now?"

The person who spoke was undoubtedly Ning Yongnian.

He did not know when he had come to Li Wutong's side, silently looking at the execution ground not far away.

As for the question he just asked, he was asking himself rather than Li Wutong.

At the moment when the capital changed dramatically, Ning Yongnian guessed that Wei Changtian might come to Huailing.

After all, the intelligence from Shuzhou indicated that the latter is no longer in Shuzhou City, so there are only two possibilities for his whereabouts, Huailing and Jingcheng.

That's why Ning Yongnian thought of saving Li Qi and Li Wutong's lives from the very beginning, as a bargaining chip for possible future negotiations.

But before Wei Changtian showed up, he was about to leave Huailing.

The situation in Daning cannot be delayed, and Ning Yongnian will definitely not be able to wait here any longer, and must go back as soon as possible.

But before he goes, he still wants to try one last time.

"Princess, Wei Changtian left Shuzhou a few days ago, and has been missing since then."

"Do you think it is possible that he actually came to Huailing?"

It seems to be asking, and it seems to be talking to itself.

Ning Yongnian turned his head and glanced at Li Wutong whose eyelashes were trembling slightly, paused, and continued:

"If he came to Huailing, would he hide in the crowd now, thinking of saving your father?"

"He has a lot of means. If he really wants to save him, he may not have a chance."

"Well, of course, it won't do him any good."

"But who can say such things well?"

"."

There are less than ten sentences in total, but Ning Yongnian has various "self-contradictory" expressions.

First guessed that Wei Changtian would come to save people, then said no, and finally said "who can say it well".

But even so, Li Wutong still vaguely guessed what he was going to do.

And Ning Yongnian's last few words also verified her guess.

"The time has come! Let the sword be cut!"

The snowflakes outside the window were even bigger, blowing away the last sentence of the supervisor's sentence.

Ning Yongnian smiled and pointed to Li Qi who was kneeling in the snow in the distance, and said slowly:
"Princess, look, your father is going to die soon."

"If Wei Changtian really comes, it will be too late if he doesn't make a move."

"But that's not okay. Why don't you persuade him?"

"As long as you can persuade Wei Changtian to come out, I can protect your father from death."

"One person for another, this is your last chance."

"Think about it, but don't think about it for too long."

"."

Following the last sentence, Li Wutong's Lianquan acupoint was released by Ning Yongnian with a wave.

And her eyes, which had been closed all the time, suddenly widened at this moment.

There is no doubt that Ning Yongnian must have already laid a net around the execution ground, just waiting for Wei Changtian to show up.

But Wei Changtian might not be in Huailing at all, or he might be there but not prepared to save Li Qi.

That's why Ning Yongnian wanted to use himself to lure Wei Changtian into appearing
Li Wutong didn't know what Wei Changtian would do if he really "begged" Wei Changtian.

Maybe Wei Changtian didn't care about her anymore, so he was unmoved.

Or maybe Wei Changtian would really risk his life for himself.
Obviously, Ning Yongnian is betting on such a probability that Wei Changtian is not only in Huailing, but also "never forgets" this woman Li Wutong.

It doesn't matter to him even if he loses the bet, after all, he didn't pay any price at all.

But for Li Wutong, the two sides of such a gamble are the lives of Li Qi and Wei Changtian.

It even comes with the whole Dabong.

After all, if Ning Yongnian really let Li Qi go, then Da Feng would also escape the fate of subjugation.

so.
Looking tremblingly at the figure in the center of the execution ground who was trying to straighten up, his mouth slowly opened.

At this moment, Li Wutong had no time to think about whether Ning Yongnian would fulfill his promise.

She just didn't want her father to die in front of her.

And is this wrong?
In the distance, the executioner dragged the knife behind Li Qi, and slowly wiped the snowflakes off the blade with his sleeve.

Tens of thousands of people knelt down slowly in pieces, with their foreheads stuck to the ground, using this "ignoring" way to express their last and most simple respect for Li Qi.

At this moment, the entire Caishikou, no, it should be said that the entire Huailing City became extremely silent, only the heavy snow that fell again after a day's rest.

Xueluo was silent, tragic and desolate.

"."

The ghost head knife refracted the black light, and it was held high in the air obliquely.

But Ning Yongnian was no longer seen behind the half-closed wooden window.

When Li Wutong still didn't say a word until now, he knew that the former would not speak again.

That being the case, so be it
Shaking his head, glanced at Li Wutong's back, Ning Yongnian turned around and wanted to leave.

However, at this moment, a loud shout that couldn't be more clear suddenly entered his ears.

Not only Ning Yongnian.

Including Li Wutong who was in great pain but still gritted his teeth.

Including countless people kneeling on the ground, covered in snow.

Including the executioner who was brandishing a knife and thousands of elite soldiers around the execution ground.

In the vast snow, everyone heard a sentence at this time——

"Grandpa! Do it!!!"
