I am the villain in the book

Snowflakes, as large as mats, fluttered down onto the Xuanyuan Platform.

Wei Changtian dragged Wu Ding step by step out of the execution ground, stepping onto the street leading out of the city in the vast snow.

Behind him, no, it should be said that he was surrounded by more and more Da Ning soldiers from all directions.

Everyone was slowly moving, following his footsteps, the friction of armor seeming to be the only sound left in Huailing City.

Wei Changtian still didn't look at anyone, including Ning Yongnian, who was not far behind him, and Li Wutong, who was placed horizontally on the back of a large horse.

However, just as he walked not far from the vegetable market entrance, a graceful figure suddenly landed beside him in full view of everyone.

It was naturally Yang Liushi, wearing a veil.

"Young Master!"

"Huh? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go out of the city to find Zhang San?"

"This humble servant intended to go, but . . ."

Her gaze swept across the astonished soldiers around her, Yang Liushi's eyes filled with worry: "But this humble servant couldn't stop worrying about Young Master."

"What's there to worry about? I'm doing just fine."

Carrying Wu Ding, Wei Changtian smiled: "Forget it, then you can come out with me."

"Coincidentally, you can now send a message to Zhang San and ask him if the Tiangou Army has arrived yet?"

"If they have, then have them meet us outside the South City Gate."

"Yes, this humble servant will ask immediately."

". . ."

Surrounded by tens of thousands of people, the two of them could still chat so naturally.

Wei Changtian had a trump card in hand and wasn't afraid of Ning Yongnian suddenly attacking.

And Yang Liushi was so calm, which could only mean that either she had already seen the current situation clearly, or she was not afraid of death at all.

In short, no matter what the reason, the two of them now seemed to not take these tens of thousands of people seriously at all.

But the expressions of Ning Yongnian and the others were not very good-looking.

Squinting at Yang Liushi in the distance, and then turning to look at Li Wutong.

Ning Yongnian's eyes couldn't help but change slightly, already understanding the weight of the two women in Wei Changtian's heart.

Obviously, Li Wutong was far inferior to the veiled woman.

However, since Wei Changtian was willing to use Wu Ding to exchange for Li Wutong, it meant that the latter was not without value.

But is that really the case?

Half an hour later, the South City Gate of Huailing City.

When the tightly closed iron gate suddenly opened, and the Tiangou Army parked a mile away came into view, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi finally escaped the encirclement.

Ning Yongnian had just received the news that the Tiangou Army had suddenly appeared outside Huailing City, so he was not surprised at the moment.

However, the scene of tens of thousands of ferocious demon beasts gathered in one place still made everyone who saw this scene involuntarily shudder.

The sense of oppression was too strong.

"Be on guard!!"

"Pay attention to protecting the Emperor!!"

Several loud shouts suddenly rang out, and the top of the city was already a sea of people.

At this moment, it was roughly estimated that at least 50,000 Da Ning soldiers were gathered near the South City Gate, facing the Tiangou Army in the distance.

If a fight broke out, it would undoubtedly be an extremely tragic bloody battle.

However, as for who would win and who would lose, the Da Ning side, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, should still be able to win.

"Wei Changtian, We have done what We promised you."

Stopping outside the city gate, looking at Wei Changtian in front, Ning Yongnian said in a deep voice: "Now you can exchange people, right!"

"This, well..."

Wei Changtian had already walked to the middle position between the Tiangou Army and the city gate at this time, and turned his head when he heard the words: "What if I suddenly don't want to exchange?"

"You!"

Ning Yongnian's pupils shrank suddenly, and the dragon robe also fluttered instantly.

However, before he could say anything, he saw Wei Changtian suddenly wave his hand with a smile.

"Hahaha, just kidding!"

"Exchange! Why wouldn't we exchange!"

"Ning Yongnian, I am the fairest and most trustworthy person in doing things."

"This place happens to be in the center of our two armies, I will wait here, and you also send someone to send Li Wutong over, after the exchange is completed, we will each retreat back to our own army!"

"No one takes advantage!"

"How about it?"

". . ."

The fairest, the most trustworthy.

No one would believe Wei Changtian's nonsense, but there is really no good way at the moment.

After all, at this time, it is impossible to find a third party that both sides trust to act as an intermediary, so they can only solve it in this way.

"Okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Yongnian nodded lightly and looked at Li Huaizhong beside him.

Although the latter was a hundred times unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on the surface, lowered his head and responded, then went to lift Li Wutong off the horse.

Taking advantage of this effort, Wei Changtian whispered to Yang Liushi:

"You go back."

"Young Master, let me do it."

Biting her lip tightly, Yang Liushi also lowered her voice: "Ning Yongnian agreed so readily, I'm afraid there is a trick in it, you can't take this risk!"

"You come? If there is really a trick that even I can't deal with, how can you deal with it."

Wei Changtian smiled: "I don't want to put you in for the sake of Li Wutong, be obedient, go back."

". . ."

The cold wind brushed past her hair, Yang Liushi neither spoke nor moved, and showed such stubbornness for the first time.

Wei Changtian knew what she was worried about, so he sighed and told her his thoughts truthfully.

"Don't worry."

"No matter what happens, I will definitely take care of my own life first."

"Secondly, kill Wu Ding, and finally protect Li Wutong."

"So you don't have to worry about my safety."

"Really, I'm not lying to you..."

". . ."

Looking at the long knife inserted diagonally into the ground, and then looking at the countless points of light pointing this way on the opposite side.

Yang Liushi lowered her head slightly, seeming to be finally persuaded.

"Young Master, then you must be careful."

"If you die, then this humble servant will not live either."

"Okay, okay, I know."

Looking at Yang Liushi, who didn't seem to be joking, with a wry smile, Wei Changtian pretended to be relaxed and urged: "You won't die, hurry back."

"Yeah."

This time, Yang Liushi didn't say anything more, nodded and turned to walk towards the Tiangou Army's formation.

The position where the two were located was about a hundred zhang away from both the Tiangou Army and the South City Gate, not too close and not too far.

Therefore, Yang Liushi quickly stood next to Du Chang and Zhang San, and then looked over fixedly.

And Wei Changtian glanced at her from a distance, then retracted his gaze and turned his attention to Li Huaizhong, who was walking step by step from the opposite side.

The latter walked very slowly, dragging Li Wutong with his left hand, and his right hand was exposed outside his sleeve, seemingly intentionally to prove that he was not playing any tricks.

Ning Yongnian behind him was still standing in place, his expression unclear.

Watching Li Huaizhong slowly approach, Wei Changtian didn't move, but his brain was running fast.

Indeed, just as Yang Liushi said, Ning Yongnian agreed too readily, making it difficult not to guess that there was a trick in it.

But where is this "trick"?

Let Li Huaizhong take the opportunity to attack himself?

Or kill Li Wutong in an instant during the exchange to disgust himself?

Or is there some powerful tool hidden in Li Wutong's body, and then detonate it to blow himself to death?

The more outrageous the guesses in his mind became, the more Wei Changtian simply stopped thinking about these useless things in the end.

For this kind of thing, wouldn't he know if he just asked?

Thinking of this, Wei Changtian immediately condensed his voice into a line and sent a sentence into Li Huaizhong's ear.

"Eunuch Li, do you want to live or die?"
