Another day.
At noon, the Kuilong Token, which was urgently sent from Shuzhou City, was finally handed over to Wei Changtian.
According to the two Freemason gangs who came to deliver the token, the token has not responded since receiving the message the day before yesterday, and no new messages have been received.
And that "meeting notice" has long since disappeared.
In the secret room, looking at the blue-white token in his hand, Wei Changtian couldn't help but think of the way Lao Zhangtou gave it to him.
"Old Zhangtou, what does the word Kuilong mean?"
"have no idea."
"Then where did you get this jade plaque?"
"forget."
"..."
At that time, no matter what Wei Changtian asked Lao Zhangtou, he always had no idea.
Although later facts proved that he was just pretending to have a bad memory, Wei Changtian never asked about the token again.
And now...
"Sir, there's still no reply."
The door was pushed open, and Chu Xianping whispered: "We have tried dozens of times at Tianjiyuan, but all failed. Maybe there was an accident."
Tianjiyuan is the intelligence distribution center set up by Chu Xianping, which is responsible for transmitting some information with relatively ordinary confidentiality levels.
Although Lao Zhangtou did not have the Zimuyu that was in direct contact with Wei Changtian, the Freemason who escorted him to the White Hall did have it with him.
But now these people have "lost contact".
"Are their life cards broken?"
Wei Changtian shook his head helplessly and asked, "Let someone go check it out."
"Sir, I have already checked."
Chu Xianping quickly replied: "The life cards of the Freemasons are not broken."
"It's not broken, the person is still alive..."
Wei Changtian frowned: "So what happened and accidentally lost the mother jade?"
"That should be the case, but it could also be..."
Chu Xianping narrowed his eyes: "They were kidnapped."
"Being kidnapped?"
Wei Changtian's pupils shrank and his expression became increasingly ugly.
The person is not dead, but cannot be contacted.
There is a real possibility of kidnapping in this situation.
But who will kidnap them?
Could it be that Kui Long had already found out about Lao Zhangtou and then tied him up?
Or are you just overthinking it?
There is too little information today, and it is undoubtedly too difficult to guess the truth.
So after a short period of thinking, Wei Changtian stopped making random guesses.
"Okay, I get it."
"Let Tianjiyuan continue to send messages, at least once a day."
"If they were really hijacked, the other party would definitely respond to us."
"Okay, I'll do it later."
In response, Chu Xianping turned around and closed the door.
"Sir, there is one more thing."
"Wu Ding escorted Li Qi to Huailing City this morning, and then there was no movement. He has not left the city until now."
"I guess they won't leave again."
"Is it?"
Taking Kuilong's token into his arms, Wei Changtian was obviously not very interested in this matter. He just asked casually: "Brother Chu, what do you think Ning Yongnian is going to do by getting Li Qi to Huailing Mansion?"
"Maybe he wants to surrender in Huailing."
Chu Xianping explained: "Huailing Mansion is located on the border between the two countries, and is only separated from Yuanzhou by a stretch of the Western Desert. It is not only symbolic, but also can be returned to Daning immediately if an accident occurs."
"If nothing else happens, Ning Yongnian should leave for Huailing City in a few days."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Nodding, Wei Changtian was too lazy to care about Dafeng's affairs, especially at this time.
Even if he is in charge, the matter between Kuilong and Shuzhou must be settled first.
"Unless the matters at Dafeng are particularly important, you don't need to tell me anything else."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian ordered: "Since Li Qi has surrendered, he should have his own plan. Let's just wait and see what happens."
"It's young master, I understand..."
"..."
...
It's night, it's time.
Overcast clouds lock the autumn wind over the city, and the fang flags are stirring.
The north gate of Huailing City is closed and the city tower is heavily guarded.
Rows of bright swords and guns were lined up on the city wall, and the stretching torches were like long dragons, winding around.
It's just that the soldiers holding weapons are no longer wearing black armor, but all yellow armor.
Valley tread
"General Wu!"
"Why did you bring me here on pilgrimage in the middle of the night?"
Looking at Wu Ding in front of him, Meng Shi's face was gloomy.
This time there were many Dafeng officials who "accompanied" Li Qi to Huailing to ask for surrender, but he was the only military general.
As a witness to the "Yuanzhou City Massacre", Meng Shi's hatred for Ning Yongnian and Daning was undoubted, and he even made a blood oath outside Yuanzhou City that "I will take Ning Yongnian's head in this life."
But only a few months later, he was now willing to accompany Li Qi to surrender... I don't know what happened during this period.
"General Meng, I am just following the holy order."
On the other side, facing Meng Shi's question, Wu Ding just smiled.
He glanced at Li Qi, who was standing beside him supported by several eunuchs, with a silly smile on his face, and then waved behind him.
"Pole!"
"..."
"rise!!"
Amidst the shouts of several soldiers, the next moment, a log that was nearly as thick as a water tank and seven or eight feet high was slowly lifted up and stood upright not far away.
Looking at the tall tree, Meng Shi's eyes suddenly widened.
"Wu Ding! What are you going to do?!"
"General Meng, don't worry, you will know soon."
The smile on his face gradually turned playful. Wu Ding turned to look at Li Qi, who was staring at Shumu and clapping his hands, and gently arched his hands towards the latter.
"Your Majesty, I'm offended."
"Come here! Please take the pole, Emperor Da Feng!"
"..."
Backswing.
It was obvious that no matter how crazy Li Qi was, he would never be able to climb up this pole in his spare time.
so......
"you dare!!"
The extremely angry shouts and explosions on the city wall, how could Meng Shi tolerate Li Qi to suffer such insults.
However, Wu Ding just lightly waved his hand and pressed down, and instantly pushed him to his knees with a "dong" sound.
yes.
Meng Shi is indeed the second grade.
But since Wu Ding agreed with him to follow Li Qi to Huailing, how could he not impose restrictions on such a master.
Although second-level masters can no longer seal off their acupuncture points, they can still suppress their realm by using some secret medicine.
So even though Meng Shi can move and speak without difficulty now, in fact he has to take secret medicine every day, and his realm has been suppressed to the sixth level.
A mere sixth-grade man, naturally unable to do anything in front of Wu Ding.
"Wu, Wu Ding..."
With his knees shaking violently, Meng Shi struggled to raise his head, staring at Wu Ding, forcing words one after another out of his throat.
"You, do you know what you are doing..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As if he heard some big joke, Wu Ding suddenly threw his head back and laughed.
"General Meng, I think you haven't figured out the current situation between you and your saint."
"That's all, I'm too lazy to tell you more."
"You just need to know that from the moment you open the gate of Fengyuan City, you are no longer the emperor or general."
"It's just fish meat on the chopping board."
"..."
The night is dark and windy, with lingering clouds covering the moon.
Not far away, when Li Qi was tied up and slowly hung up on a high pole, he finally showed a horrified expression for the first time.
"Wow!!"
"pain!"
"Put me down! Let me down!!"
"Mom! I want to go home!!"
"Wow!!!"
"..."
Wu Ding stood with his hands behind his back with a look of disdain on his face.
Li Qi burst into tears and cried.
A high pole that marks that Da Feng will no longer have dignity.
The crescent moon above my head appears and disappears.
When Meng Yong saw all this with his red eyes, the anger in his heart gradually turned into unbearable sadness.
Then, he remembered what Li Qi had said to him the night before surrender.
"General Meng, Ning Yongnian may humiliate me in every possible way after we surrender."
"But you must not expose your flaws because of this."
"I'm not afraid of being humiliated. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to avenge the thousands of soldiers who died in Dafeng."
"For this reason, I can endure anything."
