I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 413

Dafeng, Fengyuan City.

The continuous flames, angry roars, cracked gravel, desperate wailing... The cruel scene of war composed of light, shadow and sound has not stopped for two days.

There are more than 400,000 Daning troops and nearly 300,000 Dafeng defenders.

700,000 people fought for two full days in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and severed limbs and blood can be seen everywhere on the city wall, like purgatory.

With the "same" hatred for the Yuanzhou City tragedy, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, just wanting to send the "culprit" of all this to the underworld.

At this moment, the truth about who killed the three million people in Yuanzhou City is no longer important.

Whoever loses will be that cruel Devil.

Whoever loses, whose name will be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history by the historian, and will be reviled by countless people in future generations.

Therefore, this is no longer just a war of aggression that determines the life and death of a country.

It is more a struggle for the power to "write history".

But now, the balance of this battle was tilted to one side, but because of Li Qi's serious injury and coma, it fell heavily to Daning's side again by a few inches.

Although it has not really bottomed out yet, it is at the last minute.

Dafeng Palace, Tianlu Pavilion.

As Li Qi's former study, the Great Hall, which was originally fragrant with birds and flowers, is no longer as comfortable as before.

Dozens of court officials in official uniforms gathered here, but the first one sitting was a haggard woman.

She was dressed in black, her long hair was tied into a bun, and a strand of black hair was scattered around her ears, shaking slightly in the candlelight.

"My lords."

"you."

Listening to the constant roar in the distance, and seeing the court officials discussing in the palace, Li Parasol Tree wanted to say something, but probably because her voice was too low, no one noticed at the moment.

"My lords, I wonder if I can listen to what I have to say."

The fists hidden under the table were tightly clenched, Li Parasol Tree took a deep breath, and slightly raised the volume.

However, the turbulent debate in the hall still did not stop.

Prevarication, blame, sue for peace, fight to the death, retreat westward.

Every purple-robed official was arguing with his colleagues with red ears and thick necks, but none of them raised their heads to look at Li Parasol Tree.

Although after Li Qi was seriously injured and unconscious, the latter began to preside over the government in accordance with the law, and he did sit in this seat.

But for these court officials, they actually only need Li Parasol Tree to sit there.

What can a woman know?

How could it be possible to decide on state affairs?

Bound by the deep-rooted idea of ​​​​"male superiority and female inferiority" in this world, almost everyone thinks so.

What's more, Li Parasol Tree is only a woman in her early twenties.

Therefore, at this time, no one cares what Li Parasol Tree is thinking and what he wants to say.

They had actually heard those two sentences long ago, but they pretended not to have heard them.

They even refused to give time to listen to Lee Parasol Tree say a few words of "nonsense".

As for the latter, it seemed that he didn't have the courage to speak for the third time.

"."

The fist resting on his knee trembled slightly, Li Parasol Tree lowered his head slowly, his eyes tightly closed.

She really wanted to yell and tell everyone to shut up.

But she also understood that even if she really did this, she would not be able to say anything useful.

Because even if everyone obeys her, she doesn't have the courage to make decisions as a "person in power".

she's afraid of choosing the wrong one

Until now, Lee Parasol Tree did not understand how difficult it is to be a person with power.

She finally understood Li Qi and Wei Changtian.

I understand that every choice they make will determine the heavy pressure of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of lives.

But now when the burden is on his shoulders, this feeling of walking on thin ice makes Li Parasol Tree almost breathless.

"."

The long skirt shook for a while, and Li Parasol Tree stood up silently from behind the desk, walked around the screen, and left through the side door of the Great Hall.

The noise behind him remained the same, but no one cared.

Leaving Tianlu Pavilion, walked along the long corridor for a while, and passed through a courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Parasol Tree came to Li Qi's bedroom again alone.

The heavy-handed imperial guards saluted her respectfully, finally giving her back a little bit of dignity.

Lee Parasol Tree forced a smile, and then the smile faded away after entering the Great Hall.

"Grandpa, how is the father?"

All the way to the bed of Floating Cloud Diaolong, Li Parasol Tree looked at an old man guarding the bed, and softly asked a question that had been asked countless times.

And the answers are still the same.

"Still asleep."

The old man shook his head, with some helplessness and self-blame in his eyes.

His name is Zhu Tianhong, he is a retainer of the Li family, and he is also the tallest person in Realm who guarded Li Qi when he climbed the tower.

At that time, it was also he who blocked the "ordinary soldier" who rose up violently, so that the latter did not die on the spot.

An unknown second rank master dressed up as an ordinary soldier, tried to attack and kill Li Qi but failed. Zhu Tianhong thought that the matter would pass without any danger.

But the move that obviously didn't hit Li Qi made the latter pass out after a few breaths.

Although surprised, everyone still thought it was not a big problem at first.

After all, the Dafeng royal family has a variety of Heavenly and Mortal Treasures in reserve, and everyone feels that it should not be difficult to cure Li Qi.

Not only Ning Yongnian and Wei Changtian have mica mushrooms, but Dafeng also has them.

However, the fact is that no matter what treasures are used, no matter how many imperial doctors are visited, Li Qi, who has no external injuries or internal injuries, is still unconscious.

And he was obviously not injured, but his life fire was getting weaker and weaker, until now there was only the last trace left.

No one has seen this disease, let alone cure it.

Then those who were waiting for Li Qi might have to die in a coma like this.

"."

Tears welled up in the corner of his eyes again, Li Parasol Tree bit his lip and stopped looking at Li Qi who seemed to be asleep, but hurriedly wiped away his tears, and then slowly sat down opposite Zhu Tianhong.

"Grandpa, if the father is still awake, what will Dafeng do?"

"Ugh."

Zhu Tianhong sighed deeply: "Princess, but what did those court officials tell you?"

"No, no."

Li Parasol Tree's eyes dodged a little: "Yes, I want to hear your opinion."

"."

Shaking his head, Zhu Tianhong seemed to have guessed something.

However, he didn't point it out, but slowly explained all the options to Lee Parasol Tree.

To put it simply, there are only four roads in front of Dafeng, or the Li family.

One, stick to Fengyuan, would rather die than flee, even if the last soldier dies.

Second, cede land for peace, but Ning Yongnian, who has the upper hand, will most likely not agree. Even if he is willing, the price Dafeng will have to pay for it is absolutely unimaginable.

Third, abandon Fengyuan and continue to retreat westward. Judging from the current battle situation, at most it can be regarded as lingering for a while.

Four, give up the whole Dabong. Taking advantage of Daning's failure to break the city, he fled with all the property of the Li family and started anew in another place. There might be a possibility of restoring the country after a few years.

Undoubtedly, each of these four options has desperation written all over it.

However, as Zhu Tianhong said, no matter how much the court officials discussed, in the end it was nothing more than choosing one of these four.

so.

"Princess, which one do you want to choose?"

"..."

"Grandpa Zhu, I want to go to the top of the city wall to have a look."
