I am the villain in the book

Misty pavilions, moonlit crossings.

The swaying candlelight cast a faint red glow, covering a small area outside Lingbo Pavilion.

Just beyond the blurred boundary of light and darkness, Wei Zhaohai and Yu Qi slowly stopped, standing in the shadows watching Wei Changtian slowly walk into the pavilion.

As for the negotiations that were about to begin, frankly speaking, they were not qualified to participate at all.

“Da, da, da.”

The night wind howled past, as if endless sounds of battle echoed in this small world.

Dark clouds gathered like a battlefield, filled with boundless blood and bones.

However, in this magnificent and desolate scene, three footsteps grew closer and clearer.

As the last step fell, the three finally entered the pavilion, and all the illusory scenes and sounds shattered and dissipated in an instant.

A gust of wind, a bright moon in the sky, ten thousand miles of winter chill.

A small Lingbo Pavilion, a small stone table, three stone benches.

It was as if this was all that was left in the world.

“...”

Raising his eyes to look at the other two, Wei Changtian did not speak.

Xu Sui and Ning Yongnian were the same.

The three of them did not engage in any meaningless pleasantries or threats, and Xu Sui did not even reveal her identity to Ning Yongnian, whom she was meeting for the first time.

They stood there for a few breaths, their expressions slightly different, and then slowly sat down.

“Whoosh!”

The heavy curtain suddenly fell from above Lingbo Pavilion, blocking all eyes outside the pavilion.

Wei Zhaohai and the others could only vaguely see the figures in the pavilion, but could no longer hear any sound.

They did not move, but glanced at each other warily, then withdrew their gazes and retreated a few steps to completely hide themselves in the darkness.

At this point, there was no trace of life or light around Lingbo Pavilion, only the desolate night wind remained.

The cold wind howls in all directions, and the snow presses down on thousands of mountains, dimming them.

“Gentlemen, thank you for coming.”

In Lingbo Pavilion, after sitting in silence for a moment, Xu Sui spoke first.

Although she was the weakest of the three, her expression was very calm at the moment, without any timidity or panic.

Facing the two most powerful men in the Feng and Ning kingdoms, her performance today can be said to be calm enough.

Wei Changtian had only felt this kind of composure from Wei Yanyu before, but he did not expect that Xu Sui could also do it to this extent.

The reason may be that she has the most information, it may be that Qin Zhengqiu, the "number one in the world", is standing outside the pavilion, or it may be that she has enough system points to deal with all accidents.

But no matter what the reason, Wei Changtian was somewhat impressed by her at this moment.

“...”

“Young Master Wei, Your Majesty, you should be able to guess why I invited you here.”

“From the Rebellion of Jizhou last year to the present, the war between the Feng and Ning kingdoms has never stopped for more than a year.”

“Looking around at the suffering of the common people, the banners are withered and the soldiers are exhausted, and the national strength of both countries has become weak and unbearable.”

“Don't you think this war can't go on anymore?”

In the pavilion, Xu Sui's voice was not loud, but very steady.

As for what she said...

Ning Yongnian and Wei Changtian actually understood the principle.

But for Wei Changtian, if he wanted to rebel, he had to rebel "thoroughly", which is called stopping war with war.

As for Ning Yongnian, he had to regain the throne at all costs.

The contradictions between the two sides were irreconcilable, or rather, almost irreconcilable.

Although Xu Sui, as a suddenly emerging "third party", intended to mediate, and indeed had certain mediation capital.

But just relying on words is not enough.

“Miss Xu, please speak frankly.”

Ning Yongnian did not look at Wei Changtian, but stared at Xu Sui and said slowly: “Since you invited me here tonight, you probably won't just say some words of a saint.”

“I understand that everything you have done before was to stop the war, but the reasons just now are far from enough.”

“So, you don't need to beat around the bush anymore.”

“...”

From the tone to the content.

Ning Yongnian's attitude towards Xu Sui can be said to be very polite.

On the one hand, it showed that he was somewhat afraid of the latter, and on the other hand, it also showed that he actually wanted to end the war as soon as possible... But the premise must be to return the throne to him.

After all, war is always the last resort to solve problems, and no one wants to fight if they can, even the emperor is the same.

What's more, the current situation has become increasingly unfavorable for him.

“Your Majesty, in that case, if what I am about to say is critical enough...”

Xu Sui turned to look at Ning Yongnian: “Are you willing to stop the war?”

“That depends on what you will say.”

Until this time, Ning Yongnian finally glanced at Wei Changtian for the first time: “If it really comes to the point where we have to stop the war, I can naturally put the past behind me and abandon the past with the Wei family.”

Put the past behind me, abandon the past.

Seeing that he had "no country to return to", Ning Yongnian did not show any weakness in his words.

However, Xu Sui did not get entangled in these verbal disputes, nodded, and turned her gaze to Wei Changtian, who had not spoken from beginning to end.

“Young Master Wei, what about you?”

“...”

From entering the pavilion to now, after a brief conversation between Xu Sui and Ning Yongnian, Wei Changtian raised his eyelids for the first time.

The current situation was not much different from his previous guess.

In the novel that Xu Sui had read, a major event should happen in the near future, which would plunge Feng and Ning into unprecedented turmoil.

This catastrophe is estimated to have very serious consequences, at least much more serious than the Yuanzhou City massacre.

So Xu Sui wanted to change all this.

Objectively speaking, there was nothing wrong with this motive, and Wei Changtian might have done the same.

After all, since he had foreseen that the disaster was about to happen, and he also had a certain ability, it was excusable to want to be a "savior".

This is not a question of "saintly or not", but only concerns the conscience of a "person".

But...

Damn it, what kind of crap novel did Xu Sui read??

How can there be such a plot of "great catastrophe"??

Isn't it the kind of refreshing novel like "Martial Arts Great Peak" where the protagonist can save everything??

So it's a female frequency novel??

Well, that makes sense...

But how could I be the protagonist of a female frequency novel??

For a time, Wei Changtian's psychological activities became extremely exciting, and then gradually returned to calm after Xu Sui asked that question.

He looked up at the latter, with not much emotion in his eyes.

This was the first time they had met since their split in Guanghan County, and he did not expect that they were already in a "equal" relationship.

Now, although Xu Sui had not said what would happen in the future, most of the mysteries in Wei Changtian's heart had actually been solved.

However, there were still two things he had not figured out.

First, why didn't Xu Sui tell him these things in advance, but had to hide them like a riddle?

Second, what exactly was Xu Sui's so-called "dark moment" about himself? Was it the future "catastrophe"?

Wei Changtian still couldn't guess the answers to these two things.

However, he already had an answer to Xu Sui's question just now.

“Okay.”

Smiling and straightening up, putting on a "listening attentively" look.

“You say it.”

“If it is really critical to a certain extent, the Wei family can stop the war.”
