I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 707
Seven days later, Yuanzhou, Yuanzhou City.

Hmm. Rather than saying "Yuanzhou City", it is more appropriate to say "Yuanzhou City Ruins".

Since the [-]th day of July last year, when three million people in the city were buried in flames overnight, the people of Yuanzhou have been particularly afraid of this place.

I usually have to take a detour when I pass by, let alone settling down here to live.

So now that nearly a year has passed, the place still basically maintains its dilapidated appearance at that time, only the dead trees and weeds all over the city prove the passage of time.

"Ugh"

Standing on a slightly higher soil slope among the ruins, Wei Changtian sighed softly as he looked at the dead and silent scars.

This is the second time he came here after the "Wuanzhou City Massacre".

The last time he used "Combination" to rain heavily for three consecutive days, and he was determined to rebel and kill Ning Yongnian.

But now he revisits his old place again, and the latter has already returned to the west.

Wei Changtian didn't know if this counted as revenge for the three million people who died that night.

But at the very least, it should be able to comfort the spirits of these people.

"Son, let's go"

Next to him, Yang Liushi, who saw this scene for the first time, gently tugged at his sleeve, with a bit of unbearable expression on his face.

Although the corpses in the city had already been buried on a mountain outside the city by Ning Yongnian's orders, the empty "ghost city" alone was shocking enough.

It was so shocking that Yang Liushi didn't dare to watch it anymore.

"Okay, let's go."

Nodding his head, Wei Changtian didn't say much, walked down the slope, and walked towards the intact city gate in the distance with Yang Liushi.

And Zhang San and Wang Nianchu followed behind them, with equally complicated expressions.

Zhang San was fine, after all, he had seen many bloody and cruel scenes of outlaws, so he felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

But Wang Nianchu has been pampered and pampered since he was a child. Although he knew that such a major event had happened in Yuanzhou City, when he saw it with his own eyes, there was still a surge of sadness and anger in his heart.

"Son."

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly caught up with Wei Changtian, bit her lip and asked, "Did Ning Yongnian really do what happened to Yuanzhou City?"

"Ok?"

Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at her: "Why do you ask that?"

"Because, because the servant feels that the people of Yuanzhou are the people of Daning no matter what. As the emperor, he should not do such a thing."

Wang Nianchu explained, and then hurriedly added: "My lord, this servant knows that I shouldn't ask about this matter, if you don't want to answer, then I will be your servant and never said anything."

"There's nothing to say."

Waving his hands, Wei Changtian raised his eyes and looked around the desolate scene: "It's actually normal for you to have such thoughts, but."

"But don't forget, half a million elite soldiers died in the city at that time."

After these few days of getting along, Wei Changtian discovered that Wang Nianchu was really different from ordinary rich ladies, at least he could recognize his own position, and always behaved himself.

So his attitude towards Wang Nianchu has changed a lot, and he is even willing to answer the latter's questions himself.

"Ning Yongnian said that the Dafeng army slaughtered the city first, and then he was punished by heaven."

"Hehe, let alone whether there is such a thing as divine punishment."

"Even if it is true, Dafeng must have a reason to massacre the city."

"For no reason, why did they want to massacre the city? What good does this do for Dafeng?"

"Have you thought about this?"

"I"

A simple question caught Wang Nianchu's attention. It can be seen that she is more than a star and a half better than Yang Liushi in terms of scheming, let alone compared with Li Zimu.

"So, Dafeng has no reason to massacre the city."

After glancing at Wang Nianchu, Wei Changtian continued, "Instead, Ning Yongnian has a reason to do so."

"Exchanging [-] million civilians for [-] enemy elites, no matter how you look at it, this is a bargain."

"As for how he did it. You don't need to know."

"In short, the truth is like this, believe it or not."

"."

After finishing the last sentence, Wei Changtian stopped talking.

Judging from Wang Nianchu's expression, she has already been persuaded, but she still can't accept it for the time being.

"But, but these are two million innocent people of Daning after all."

"Why is he, the emperor of a country, able to do such a thing?"

"People of Daning?"

Wei Changtian wasn't going to speak at first, but when he heard Wang Nianchu's words to himself, he turned his head and asked, "Miss Wang, if these two million people were Dafeng people, would you still be like this?" Mercy?"

"I"

With a pause in his footsteps, Wang Nianchu was stunned.

And this momentary delay undoubtedly represented her answer.

"You see, if you were replaced by Dafeng people, you would not be so sad and angry."

Wei Changtian didn't accuse her of anything, but just smiled: "In the end, the reason why you feel sad now is because all the people who died were from Daning, and they were all related to you."

"And what about Dafeng people? Not only are they not your compatriots, they may even be enemies, so they are dead."

"It's actually quite normal, and most people would think so."

"Then do you think that in Ning Yongnian's eyes, are the people of Daning related to him or not related to him?"

"Or, do you count as a human being?"

"."

After asking the last question, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi continued to walk out of the city, leaving only Wang Nianchu standing there blankly.

Wei Changtian didn't say many words just now, but every sentence greatly overturned her simple cognition of this world.

Staring blankly at the figure not far away, her breathing gradually became short of breath.

After a long while, Wang Nianchu quickly chased after him as if he had just woken up from a dream.

I don't know if it's because of the sun that made her face look slightly flushed.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wei Changtian and the others who walked out of the ruins of Yuanzhou City returned to the [-] army company camp.

Now they have arrived in Wonju, only six or seven days away from Xinfeng.

And the situation on Fengyuan's side was just as Wei Changtian expected. Although there were many dangers, they had not been broken so far.

This has undoubtedly exceeded Chu Xianping's previous expectation that "Feng Yuan will be broken within five days".

As for the reason, it's actually not complicated.

Because Xu Suisui finally started to use her hole cards one by one.
Three days ago, the main general and two deputy generals of the Ganhui army, a total of three second-rank generals were all assassinated without anyone noticing in their camp.

In the middle of the night two days ago, when Fengyuan's northern city wall was in emergency, Qin Zhengqiu showed up and slashed three swords in a row, directly clearing away the enemy army hundreds of meters outside the northern city gate, and the moon dimmed for three breaths.

Yesterday, all the giant elephants that were sent back to the two countries to assist in the siege suddenly "rebelled", turning around and rushing back. There were tens of thousands of soldiers who were trampled and trampled to death.
One hundred thousand against one million, guarded for nine days.

Wei Changtian didn't know how many tricks Xu Suisui still hadn't used.

In short, there has been no news from the latter so far, so it must not be the end of the mountain.

But Xu Suisui could hold his breath, but some people couldn't hold their breath anymore.

"Young Master, Jing Guoqing sent a letter to Zhan Shifu half an hour ago, saying that the envoys returning to the two countries will arrive at Huailing City tomorrow."

In the big tent, Zhang San put a secret letter in front of Wei Changtian, Shen Shenghui reported:

"They want to discuss the Xinfeng war with the young master again."
