I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 558 Hostage Exchange
The snowflakes are as big as a mat, blowing down Xuanyuan Terrace.

Wei Changtian dragged Wu Ding out of the execution ground step by step, and set foot on the street leading to the outside of the city in the heavy snow.

And behind him, no, it should be said that more and more Daning soldiers surrounded him in all directions.

Everyone was moving slowly following his footsteps, and the sound of armor rubbing seemed to be the only movement 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 across the back of a big horse.

But just as he walked out of the vegetable market, a beautiful figure suddenly landed beside him in full view.

Nature is a veiled willow poem.

"Son!"

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

"The servant wanted to come and go, but..."

Looking across the astonished soldiers around her, Yang Liushi's eyes were full of worry: "But the slave family is worried about you, young master."

"There is nothing to worry about, I am not very good."

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

"Just right, you send a letter to Zhang San now, asking him if the Tiangou Army has arrived?"

"When we arrive, let them pick us up outside the south city gate."

"Yes, I'll ask this slave."

"."

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

Wei Changtian has the trump card in his hand, so he is not afraid of Ning Yongnian's sudden attack.

And Yang Liushi's calmness can only show that either she has seen the current situation clearly, or she is not afraid of death at all.

In short, no matter what the reason is, the two of them don't seem to pay attention to these tens of thousands of people at all.

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

He narrowed his eyes to look at Yang Liushi in the distance, then turned his head to look at Li Wutong.

Ning Yongnian's eyes couldn't help changing slightly, he already understood the importance of the two women in Wei Changtian's heart.

Obviously, Li Wutong is far inferior to that woman with a veil.

However, since Wei Changtian is willing to exchange Wu Ding for Li Wutong, it shows that the latter is not worthless.

Is it just really so?

Half an hour later, at the south gate of Huailing City.

When the closed iron gate suddenly opened and the Tiangou army stationed a mile away caught everyone's eyes, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi finally escaped from the encirclement.

Ning Yongnian had just received the news about the Tiangou Army's sudden appearance outside Huailing City, so he was not surprised at the moment.

However, the scene of tens of thousands of ferocious monsters gathering in one place made everyone who saw this scene shudder involuntarily.

The sense of oppression is too strong.

"alert!!"

"Pay attention to protect the emperor!!"

Several loud shouts sounded, and the city was already crowded with people.

At this moment, it is roughly estimated that there are at least [-] Daning soldiers gathered near the south gate, confronting the Tiangou army not far away.

If the fight starts, it will undoubtedly be a bloody battle.

But as for who wins and who loses, the Daning side, which has an absolute advantage in numbers, should still be able to win.

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

Stopping outside the city gate, looking at Wei Changtian in front of him, Ning Yongnian shouted in a deep voice, "You can change people now!"

"this one"

Wei Changtian had already reached the middle position between the Tiangou Army and the city gate. Hearing this, he turned around and asked, "What should I do if I suddenly don't want to change?"

"you!"

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

But before he could say anything, Wei Changtian suddenly smiled and waved his hand.

"Hahaha, just kidding!"

"Change! How can you not change it!"

"Ding!"

While speaking, he pulled out the leaking nail and stuck it into the ground, Wei Changtian continued to shout loudly:
"Ning Yongnian, I am the most fair and trustworthy person."

"This place happens to be in the middle of our two armies, and I will wait here. You also send someone to send Li Wutong over. After the exchange is completed, we each return to our own army!"

"Nobody takes advantage!"

"how?"

"."

The fairest and most trustworthy.

No one will believe Wei Changtian's nonsense, but there is really no good way right now.

After all, at this time, there is no third party that both parties can trust to act as an intermediary, so it can only be solved in this way.

"can."

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

Although the latter was full of reluctance in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on the surface, he bowed his head in response and went to lift Li Wutong off the horse.

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

"Go back."

"Young master, let me do it."

Biting her lips, Yang Liushi also lowered her voice: "Ning Yongnian promised so readily, there may be fraud in it, you can't take this risk!"

"You come? If there is a fraud that even I can't handle, how can you handle it?"

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

"."

As the cold wind blew through her hair, Yang Liushi neither spoke nor moved, showing such stubbornness for the first time.

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

"Do not worry."

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

"The second is to kill Wu Ding, and the last is to protect Li Wutong."

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

"Really, I didn't lie to you"

"."

He looked at the long knife inserted obliquely on the ground, and then at the countless light spots on the opposite side pointing here.

Yang Liushi lowered her head slightly, as if she was finally persuaded.

"Young master, then you must be more careful."

"If you die, then the slave family will not live."

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Looking at Yang Liushi who didn't seem to be joking, Wei Changtian pretended to be relaxed and urged, "I can't die, you can go back quickly."

"Ah."

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

The location of the two is about a hundred feet away from the Tiangou Army and the South City Gate, neither close nor far.

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

And Wei Changtian looked at her from a distance, then looked away, and turned his gaze to Li Huaizhong who was walking towards him step by step.

The latter walks very slowly, dragging Li Wutong with his left hand, with his right hand sticking out of his sleeve, as if deliberately trying to prove that he is not playing any tricks.

Ning Yongnian behind him was still standing there with an unrealistic expression on his face.

Seeing Li Huaizhong slowly approaching, Wei Changtian's body didn't move, but his brain was running fast.

Indeed, as Yang Liushi said, Ning Yongnian's promise was too straightforward, and it was hard not to let people guess that there was fraud.

But where is this "fraud"?

Let Li Huaizhong take the opportunity to attack himself?

Or do you want to kill Li Wutong and make yourself sick at the moment of the exchange?
Or maybe there is some powerful prop hidden on Li Wutong's body, and when the time comes, it will detonate and kill himself?

The speculation in his heart became more and more outrageous, and Wei Changtian finally stopped thinking about these useless things.

This kind of thing, if you ask, you will know.

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

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