I am the villain in the book

The capital of Da Ning, the Imperial Palace.

The night was already deep, but the Shiqu Pavilion was still brightly lit.

Ning Yongnian stood alone in front of the window, with several secret reports scattered on the desk behind him.

The battle of Shu Province officially began tonight, and he originally wanted to wait for the battle report from Shu Province.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred on the Fengyuan battlefield first.

Seven unknown second-rank masters suddenly appeared and rescued Li Wutong, who was already in a desperate situation.

Ning Yongnian certainly understood what seven second-rank masters meant, so when he first received the news from Wu Ding, he was extremely shocked.

Because the second secret report stated very clearly:

These seven people came on the orders of Wei Changtian of Feng Wei.

Wei Changtian.

When this name repeatedly echoed in his mind, Ning Yongnian clenched his fists tightly.

He didn't know where these seven second-rank masters came from, and he didn't know why these people would obey Wei Changtian's orders.

However, what happened this time reminded Ning Yongnian of the battle on Yan Yun Mountain before.

According to Li Huaizhong's description, there were also five second-rank masters who had originally been living in seclusion who suddenly appeared, and they all followed the lead of a white-haired man.

So, could there be any connection between them?

Ning Yongnian's powerful analytical ability allowed him to guess almost half of the truth in an instant.

And he also vaguely deduced a conclusion based on the conversation between the seven second-rank masters and Li Wutong—

That is, Wei Changtian does not seem to be able to completely control these seven people.

At the very least, Wei Changtian should indeed be unable to allow these seven people to participate in the Dafeng war, or even the Shu Province war.

Of course, all of this is just speculation, and the truth still needs to be further verified.

But since things have already happened, he must respond immediately.

"Old Li."

Turning his head and looking at Li Huaizhong, who appeared at some unknown time, Ning Yongnian slowly said:

"Order Wu Ding to stop the siege and let the army rest for two days."

"If those seven masters want to take Li Wutong away from Fengyuan in two days, try to contact them, but how to say it, let朕 think about it again."

"In addition, let Wei Xianzhi come to the palace to see me now."

"Yes, this old servant will do it right away."

Li Huaizhong responded with a bow and turned to leave to deliver the order.

But just as he had taken a few steps, Ning Yongnian suddenly added another sentence.

"By the way, those five second-rank masters you saw on the top of Yan Yun Mountain before, they should be from the same sect."

"Go and investigate these people carefully."

"And that white-haired man, find out about him as well."

About half an hour later.

Wei Xianzhi walked into the Shiqu Pavilion with a calm face, and then heard from Ning Yongnian the news that Wei Changtian was "killing everywhere" on the Shu Province battlefield.

Previously, the Wei family had always said that Wei Changtian was a victim of Ning Yu Ke's rebellion, and was "detained" in Shu Province as a hostage by the latter.

But now that the "hostage" personally went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, there was no doubt that it was a bit unreasonable.

However, Wei Xianzhi was not someone to be trifled with. Anyway, the current situation was that "everyone was pretending to be confused," so he didn't care whether the statement was reasonable or not, and casually made up a set of excuses that "the dog son's family members were held hostage by the rebel king, and he had no choice but to be used by the rebel king."

Such a statement could almost be described as shameless, and Ning Yongnian inevitably had to question him a few times.

Wei Xianzhi blocked the soldiers and covered the water with earth. He insisted that Wei Changtian was forced to be helpless. Although he, as a father, was angry at his son's lack of ambition, he could not help him.

In short, around the question of whether Wei Changtian was "intentionally rebelling" or "forced by the rebel king's threat," the two of them started a war of words.

At the same time, Wei Changtian himself was discussing the next battle with the "rebel general" Liang Zhen.

"."

The atmosphere in the council hall was serious, and the various colored flags on the sand table had been changed according to the latest situation.

In the previous battle of offense and defense, the Shu army lost more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 5,000 were injured.

Although the battle loss ratio was slightly higher than that of the imperial court, it was basically in line with expectations.

Wei Changtian put down the battle report in his hand, and looked up at Liang Zhen, who was wearing a general's armor:

"Uncle Liang, when is the next attack?"

"At Yin time, less than two hours away."

Liang Zhen glanced at the copper leak and pointed to the north side of Guanghan County on the sand table.

"General Han said that the imperial army will mainly attack the north this time."

"Um."

Wei Changtian nodded slightly and instructed: "Uncle Liang, remember that our scheduling must not be too obvious. If someone sees something unusual, General Han may be suspected."

"I know this naturally."

Liang Zhen nodded solemnly: "I will make corresponding scheduling after the battle starts."

"That's good."

Glancing at the sand table again, Wei Changtian stopped thinking about defending the city.

The war had just begun, and with Han Zhao as an internal agent, there should be no major problems.

However, after taking a sip of water, he suddenly thought of Liang Qin.

"By the way, Uncle Liang, where is Qin'er now?"

"She is on the south side of the city. I asked her to manage the military rations, but she didn't want to. I guess she secretly went to the city wall again just now."

Liang Zhen sighed helplessly: "Hey, let her go, anyway, I can't control her."

"Hahaha, Uncle Liang, you only have this one daughter."

Wei Changtian said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that something might happen to her?"

"What's the use of being afraid? I can't tie her up at home with a rope."

Liang Zhen shook his head: "Besides, since her surname is Liang, she should also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

"."

Okay, you are really big-hearted.

Wei Changtian complained in his heart and didn't say anything else.

He hadn't seen Liang Qin since he came to Guanghan, and since he had nothing to do now, he planned to go and see her.

He said a few simple words to Liang Zhen, got up and left the council hall.

Xu Sui Sui, who had been waiting outside, was counting the stars with a serious face.

"What are you doing?"

Wei Changtian walked to Xu Sui Sui's side and looked up along her line of sight: "Looking for Earth?"

"."

Faced with such a joke, Xu Sui Sui did not answer immediately.

She just looked at the starry sky seriously for a while, and then asked with some doubt:

"Wei Changtian, don't you think it's strange?"

"Why is the position of the constellations in this world exactly the same as in the previous life?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "It's the same, so what? What can it explain?"

"It shows that the planet we are on now is in the same position as Earth!"

Xu Sui Sui replied with wide eyes: "But we are clearly not on Earth, don't you think it's strange?"

"Uh—"

Touching his nose, Wei Changtian understood what Xu Sui Sui meant.

In the latter's view, they should have transmigrated to another planet in the universe, so what they should see is a different "starry sky."

However, Wei Changtian knew that they had only transmigrated into a book world.

Of course, Xu Sui Sui had never read "Martial Arts Great Peak," so it was normal that she couldn't understand it now.

But this incident made Wei Changtian suddenly think of another question, a question he hadn't paid much attention to before.

The question is, why could Xu Sui Sui transmigrate to this world when she clearly hadn't read the original work?
