Deathly stillness. 死寂。 In a flash, the entire main hall seems like crashes into suddenly void, tiny being snowing sound outside besides the room does not have a sound again. 一瞬间,整个大殿像是突然坠入虚空,除了屋外渺小的落雪声外便再无一丝动静。 Finally, Li Wutong chose giving up. 最终,李梧桐还是选择了放弃。 Gives up falling in the Huailing city 1 million common people, to receive in exchange barely managing to maintain a feeble existence that presents greatly. 放弃掉怀陵城中百万百姓,以换取大奉的苟延残喘。 Like before said that is very difficult to speak her decision is to is wrong. 就像之前说的,很难讲她的决定是对是错。 But if the list analyzes from the current gain or loss...... seems like her not to have other choice. 但如果单从当下的利弊得失来分析......似乎她也没有别的选择。 Rejection? 拒绝吗？ That Ning Yongnian kills Li Qi without a doubt immediately, and Huailing city might as before by the slaughter. 那宁永年毫无疑问会立刻将李岐杀死,并且怀陵城或许依旧要被屠。 Then, they then really in „dead to reveal one's aspirations”. 如此一来,他们便是真的在“以死明志”了。 Rather dies, rather the perishing country, does not go to back that fabricated charge...... 宁可死、宁可亡国,也不去背那莫须有的罪名...... Clearly, how regardless of Li Wutong does not want to present the perishing country greatly. 很明显,李梧桐无论如何也不想大奉亡国。 Therefore, she then can only accept such a condition. 所以,她便只能接受这样一个条件。 „......” “......” „Pū passes......” “噗通......” Weak falling returns to the wooden chair, in Min sighing of light pain, has not said anything eventually. 无力的跌坐回木椅,闵中光痛苦的叹了一口气,终究没有说什么。 Other present the envoy greatly are also same. 其他大奉使臣也是一样。 The expression of people are various, but actually all was choosing at this moment silent. 众人的表情各不相同,但却皆在此刻选择了沉默。 No matter without a doubt, considered stemming from anything, they tacitly approved Li Wutong decision. 毫无疑问,不管是出于什么考虑,他们都默认了李梧桐的决定。 Even if everyone knows the consequence of this decision. 即便每个人都知道这个决定的后果。 „Emperor......” “皇上......” Another side, Sima from the expression somewhat is also complex. 另一边,司马从的表情同样有些复杂。 He turns the head to look to Ning Yongnian, sees latter slightly nodded , then recruits the officials to the side once again. 他转头看向宁永年,见后者微微点了点头,然后便又一次将宦官招至身边。 Takes pen in hand, dips black ink, starts to write. 提笔,蘸墨,落笔。 Quick, „the pledge of Huailing” fifth, was the last content then with the transcript. 很快,“怀陵之盟”第五条,也是最后一条内容便被用文字记录了下来。 Sima inspires from the depth, gives the young officials the note. 司马从深吸一口气,将字条交给小宦官。 The latter meets in the hand, at once turns toward the palace gate to walk under the gaze of people step by step...... 后者接在手中,旋即在众人的注视下一步步向着殿门走去......

Ten Wan Daning armies stationed in Huailing city will seal up various city gates, then in 1 million weaponless the common people the city slaughters completely. 驻扎在怀陵城的十万大宁军队会封住各处城门,然后将城中百万手无寸铁的百姓屠戮殆尽。 Perhaps massacres city takes one day, perhaps takes two days, but most not over three days. 屠城或许需要一天,或许需要两天,但最多不会超过三天。 But turns into a dead city after Huailing thoroughly, Ning Yongnian then can have „the pledge of Huailing” both sides sign, in addition stays with the army that big presents to return to Daning. 而在怀陵彻底变成一座死城之后,宁永年便会带着双方签订的“怀陵之盟”,以及尚且留在大奉的军队返回大宁。 By that time, Li Wutong was „achieving wishes” preserved presented greatly, preserved Li Qi's life. 到那时候,李梧桐便算是“如愿以偿”的保住了大奉,也保住了李岐的命。 For this result, she has given up too. 为了这个结果,她已经放弃太多了。 Even it can be said that sacrificed all that can sacrifice. 甚至可以说是牺牲了可以牺牲的一切。 Therefore, when she saw when the young officials gradually move toward the palace gate, in heart unexpectedly one type not only desperate and feeling of extrication. 所以,当她看到小宦官一步步走向殿门时,心中竟有一种既绝望又解脱的感觉。 „......” “吱呀......” The palace gate was shoved open a slit, the cold wind mixes with the snowflake to push from the room. 殿门被推开一条缝隙,寒风夹杂着雪花从屋外挤了进来。 Moon/Month gloomy no one looks, heavy snow full Huailing. 月黯无人望,大雪满怀陵。 The Daning soldiers in various city walls have prepared massacring city, only waits for Wu Ding one to order then to block the city gate, draws a sword the sheath. 各处城墙上的大宁兵卒早已做好了屠城的准备,只等邬定一声下令便会封锁城门,拔刀出鞘。 However in this final moment, will soon go out of the previous quarter of main hall in the young officials, most should not speak in the person who this time spoke suddenly. 然而就在这最后关头,就在小宦官即将走出大殿的前一刻,一个最不该在此时说话的人却突然说话了。 „Halts.” “站住。” „I, do not comply!” “寡人,不答应！” „......” “......” ...... ...... The cold wind is cold, cool feeling sad and shrill bone to inter the body. 寒风冷冽,凉意凄厉入骨。 The center of everyone vision focus, is complexion incomparably tranquil Li Qi. 所有人目光聚焦的中心,正是脸色无比平静的李岐。 From the Kaesong gate surrender, by today, this presented the emperor to play the fool greatly for a month. 从开城门投降,到今天,这位大奉皇帝已经装傻了一个多月。 He was hung up the top and experiencing suffering humiliation. 他被挂上城头、受尽屈辱。 He looks with own eyes presented the military person dead in the under foot group by group greatly frigidly. 他亲眼看着一批又一批大奉武人在脚下惨烈死去。 Even in just, once in him wielded the palm to commit suicide for veiled Shi who he risked one's life behind not without making a sound...... 甚至就在刚刚,曾为他出生入死的蒙适就在他身后一声不吭的挥掌自尽...... All these, Li Qi endured. 所有的这些,李岐都忍了。 From the Ning Yongnian look, he can see that the former has believed oneself is really silly. 从宁永年的眼神中,他能看出前者已经相信自己是真的傻了。 Even so, Li Qi at this moment actually could not install again. 但即便如此,此时此刻的李岐却还是再也装不下去了。 „Emperor!” “皇上！” First calls out in alarm from Min the light. 第一声惊呼来自闵中光。 The latter does not know that Li Qi was previously playing the fool, will therefore feel astonished now unavoidably. 后者并不知道李岐此前都是在装傻,所以如今难免会感到惊愕。 He staggers is running up to Li Qi Shenqian, „pū passes” one to kneel down, raising head of tears shouted loudly: 他踉跄着跑到李岐身前,“噗通”一声跪倒在地,老泪纵横的仰头高呼: „Emperor! You and you were all right!” “皇上！您、您没事了！” „Emperor!” “皇上！” „Your majesty!!” “陛下！！” „......” “......” Next quarter, more presented the envoy also to respond greatly, all shivered is crawling in the place, the expression was excited. 下一刻,更多的大奉使臣也都反应了过来,皆颤抖着匍匐在地,表情万分激动。 Among before them some people have possibly guessed correctly Li Qi, is the attires, some people only think that he is sudden „recovering from an illness”. 他们当中可能有人已经猜出李岐之前都是装的,也有人只以为他是突然“病愈”。 But no matter how, Li Qi returns to normal, they had the pillar. 但不管如何,李岐恢复正常,他们就有了主心骨。 Then, in the main hall is then in chaos instantaneously. 就这样,大殿之中瞬间便陷入一片混乱。 In presents the official to be very excited greatly, in the Daning envoy incomparably astonished look, Li Qi is actually looking straight ahead Ning Yongnian, cold snort/hum: 而在大奉官员无比激动、大宁使臣无比惊愕的眼神中,李岐却只是直视着宁永年,冷哼一声: „Snort, is good to plan.” “哼,好算计。” „......” “......” „You are not bad.” “你也不差。” Narrowed the eye, in the Ning Yongnian look surprised removes slowly: „How did I almost then think you stupidly really......? Developed?” 眯了眯眼,宁永年眼神中的惊讶慢慢褪去:“我差点便以为你真的傻了......怎么？演下去了么？” „Thought that does not need to develop again.” “只是觉得没必要再演了而已。” Tranquil shaking the head, Li Qi does not have the least bit „to fall Monarch” some to be timid. 平静的摇了摇头,李岐没有半点“降君”该有的怯懦。 „I who Ning Yongnian, how you think am clear.” “宁永年,你是怎么想的我再清楚不过。” „Now the Wei Family potential is even more big, your army must withdraw to Daning.” “如今魏家越发势大,你的军队必须要撤回大宁。” „But you are unwilling depart, therefore then wants to estrange me to present the government and people with this method greatly.” “但你又不甘心就这么离去,所以便欲用这种手段来离间我大奉朝野。” „Snort, hits a wishful thinking seriously!” “哼,当真是打得一手如意算盘！” „......” “......” Several words, Li Qi then exposes the plan of Ning Yongnian completely. 几句话,李岐便把宁永年的计划完全点破。 But Ning Yongnian did not deny, instead also nod of faint smile. 而宁永年却也不否认,反而还似笑非笑的点了点头。 „Yes, I so plan.” “是,我正是如此打算的。” „How can you?” “不过你又能如何？” „Now in the Huailing city has my Daning 100,000 officers, no matter you comply or not, in the city the person will die eventually.” “如今怀陵城中有我大宁十万将士,不管你答应与否,城中之人终究都会死。” „And you must lose the life in vain......” “并且你还要白白搭上性命......” „Loses the life in vain?” “白白搭上性命？” On Li Qi face does not see one to be flurried and hesitate, ridicules is hitting to block the way: 李岐脸上不见一丝慌乱与犹豫,讥笑着打断道: „Ning Yongnian, between you and me is not no need to say these.” “宁永年,你我之间就不必说这些了。” „You should know that my death has what significance.” “你应该知道我的死有什么意义。” „......” “......” My death has what significance...... 我的死有什么意义...... After Li Qi said these words, everyone understands instantaneously meaning. 当李岐说出这句话后,所有人都瞬间明白了其中含义。 Yes, no matter Li Qi agreed that or not, Ning Yongnian is capable of massacring city. 是,不管李岐同意与否,宁永年都有能力屠城。 But if Li Qi true died, then this massacring city nature from „will then present to give up the Huailing common people turning „ Ning Yongnian slaughtering the Huailing common people” greatly ”. 但如果李岐真的死了,那么这次屠城的性质便会从“大奉放弃了怀陵百姓”变成“宁永年屠杀了怀陵百姓”。 When the time comes, even if presents the imperial family not to exist greatly, but will present the common people actually to hate to the marrow of the bones about Ning Yongnian greatly surely, the latter wants to swallow in the future presents greatly then must pay a huger price without doubt. 到时候,即便大奉皇室不复存在但大奉百姓却定会对宁永年恨之入骨,后者日后再想吞下大奉便无疑要付出更为巨大的代价。 Therefore, if Li Qi does not comply, the Ning Yongnian big probability really will not actually massacre city. 所以,如果李岐不答应,宁永年其实大概率不会真的屠城。 But on the other hand, if „the pledge of Huailing” is unable to achieve, that Ning Yongnian big probability will also massacre Li Qi direct, carries off Li Wutong, lets present at least in name temporarily „perishing country” greatly. 而另一方面,如果“怀陵之盟”无法达成,那宁永年也大概率会把李岐直接杀掉、把李梧桐带走,让大奉最起码在名义上暂时“亡国”。 This wants to come, gambling of both sides was very actually clear. 这样想来,双方的博弈其实就很清楚了。 What Ning Yongnian hopes is leaves behind one tattered and torn, to survive in name only big presents. 宁永年希望的是留下一个千疮百孔、名存实亡的大奉。 But Li Qi's goal just right opposite- 而李岐的目的则正好相反- Even if oneself body falls and presents the perishing country greatly, he must guarantee the reputation/honorary of Li, to guarantee Huailing city these 1 million people of lives! 哪怕自己身陨、大奉亡国,他也要保下李家的名誉、保下怀陵城这百万人的命！
