I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 536 Final Choice

The more than one million people in Huailing City were ordered by the people to be buried with the two million Daning people who died in the Yuanzhou City tragedy.

Although such a condition is appalling, it is not difficult to understand his purpose from Ning Yongnian's perspective.

Right now, the real culprits of the "Wuanzhou City Massacre", Fengning and Ning, are each holding their own opinions.

The people of Dafeng believe that Ning Yongnian did it, but the people of Daning generally believe that the Dafeng army slaughtered the city and was punished by heaven.

And because the two countries each suffered huge losses in this tragedy, half a million elite troops died on the one hand, and two million innocent civilians died on the other, so the people of the two countries hated each other very much.

In this case, if Dafeng agreed to this condition, it would undoubtedly be "confirmed" from the side that Li Qi was the real culprit in the Yuanzhou City incident, and Ning Yongnian could use this to completely remove the suspicion.

And such an act of "Yazi must report" is cruel, but it can greatly win over the hearts of the people in Daning, and it can even plant a seed of "treason" in the hearts of Dafeng people.

To put it more bluntly, Ning Yongnian actually wanted to tell a story to the people of the two countries——

Li Qi took advantage of the civil strife in Daning to launch a national war, and ordered the massacre of Yuanzhou City after occupying it.

Unexpectedly, the Dafeng army was condemned by heaven after massacring the city, and half a million elites died.

Because of this, Daning's "army of justice" was able to triumph all the way, and finally won the national war.

In order to comfort the innocent people who died in Yuanzhou City, Ning Yongnian chose "an eye for an eye" after the war, paying for his life with his life.

In order to survive, the incompetent Dafeng court actually agreed to such a condition and watched Huailing City being slaughtered.

If this story is told, then whether it is the Yuanzhou City tragedy, the justice of the war, or even the upcoming Huailing City tragedy, all the faults will be borne by Li Qi and the Dafeng court.

And Ning Yongnian will transform himself into a "Mingjun of the World" who eliminates harm for the world and does not allow the people of his own country to suffer any grievances.

At that time, emotion and reason will be on his side, while crime and evil will be pinned on Li Qi.

In this way, even if Dafeng does not perish now, it will not be too far away from perishing.

After all, who would want to be ruled by such a "vicious king"?

I'm afraid there is no need for Ning Yongnian to act again, the endless civil strife alone is enough to make Da Feng never turn around.

At that time, if Ning Yongnian wanted to eat Dafeng again, it would be much less difficult than it is now.

Because the threat of the Wei family is close at hand, it is necessary to deal with the situation on Dafeng's side as soon as possible and transfer the army back to the country.

Because it is impossible to swallow the whole Dabong in a short time, "peace talks" are necessary.

Because Dafeng cannot be allowed to recuperate during the time he is dealing with the Wei family, it is necessary to mess up Dafeng, so that there will be an irreparable rift between the people of Dafeng and the court.

To achieve this goal, the city of Huailing was slaughtered

In fact, Ning Yongnian had already thought up the whole plan after the defeat at Niutoushan, and made a lot of preparations in advance.

Hanging Li Qi on the top of the city is not only for showing Li Parasol Tree, but also deliberately letting the warriors in Huailing City come and "send to death" one after another, so as to reduce resistance for the subsequent massacre of the city.

The real-time "live broadcast" of the negotiation process is to pass the news that "Li Qi agrees to massacre the city" as soon as possible, and to pass the responsibility to Dafeng.

Putting this condition at the end is to increase the probability of Dafeng's agreement. After all, it is only the last step to reach the covenant.

It has to be said that under the blessing of "kingly way" luck, Ning Yongnian's choice and layout have reached the extreme.

Right now, as long as Dafeng nods his head and agrees to "give up" the more than one million people in Huailing City, then his entire plan can be perfectly realized.

Of course, this is undoubtedly very difficult.

At least Sima Cong tried to persuade Min Zhongguang all afternoon, but he couldn't let Min Zhongguang relax.

But at this time, Ning Yongnian had to "make the final decision".

"Snapped."

Gently put the teacup on the table and straightened up.

Ning Yongnian stopped all the quarrels in the Great Hall with just one movement.

He didn't look at Min Zhongguang, but first glanced at Li Qi, and then his eyes fell on Li Parasol Tree, whose face was pale.

"Princess, what do you think?"

"."

Outside the Great Hall, many people crowded the long street had dispersed, but there were still many people standing in the snow and waiting for the final result.

They didn't know what the last condition Daning proposed was, and they didn't know that once Li Parasol Tree nodded, all of them would die.

They just felt that the fifth condition had been discussed for too long, and the snow that had grown to the side of the road was already several fingers thick, as if the entire Huailing City had been buried in it.

It's like a huge coffin that is slowly closing.

"."

"I, I will never agree."

Biting his lips, Li Parasol Tree shook his head pale.

She looked at Ning Yongnian tremblingly, but she didn't seem to dare to meet the latter's gaze, so she could only lower her eyes and repeat the same sentence over and over again.

"Absolutely, absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible"

"."

Looking at Li Parasol Tree struggling extremely, Ning Yongnian's expression didn't change much.

He was not in a hurry to interrupt the former, but waited until Li Parasol Tree's voice was barely audible before slowly speaking:

"Princess, there are five conditions in total, and now we have negotiated four of them."

"You have to know that now the world knows about the peace talks between the two countries, and I have absolutely no possibility of going back on my word."

"So only this last step is missing, and Dafeng will not perish."

"And if this last point cannot be negotiated, then you should know what will happen, princess."

"Princess, think carefully about what you have done before."

"I've been here all day, and I'm running out of patience, so I'll give you a hundred breaths of time to think about it."

"If you still don't agree, then there will be no chance to go back on your word."

"At that time, not only you and your royal father will not be able to get out of this Great Hall, but the people in Huailing City will still die."

"Think about it carefully."

"."

In a few simple words, there are threats and temptations.

As long as you nod your head, Daning will withdraw his troops immediately, and everything you have done before is not in vain.

And if you don't agree, then not only will you and your father die, but I will still slaughter Huailing City.

To be honest, in the face of such an ultimate problem, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong with any choice.

In fact, even Min Zhongguang, who had been arguing with Sima Cong all afternoon, didn't know how to choose.

He just felt that Daning might give in, that's why he refused to give in an inch and resolutely rejected such a condition.

But when Ning Yongnian spoke in person and said that there are only two options before them: "agree" and "disagree"

Then the difficulty of this choice can be imagined.

Therefore, Min Zhongguang has already made up his mind now, no matter whether Li Parasol Tree agrees or not, he will not object.

The same goes for the other officials on Dafeng's side. They all shut up at the moment and completely handed over the decision-making power to Princess Wuping who had given up everything in order to "preserve Dafeng".

that's it.

Under the gaze of everyone in the Great Hall except Li Qi, amidst the whimpering of the biting cold wind outside, Li Parasol Tree finally raised his head slowly at the ninth breath.

She closed her eyes in despair and struggled, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Then, as if she had exhausted all her strength, she nodded her head.
