The willow leaves are slowly

As little Ali walked out of the room, her eyes dimmed and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Liu Qingyin noticed something was wrong, took her hand, squatted down and asked, "Ali, what's wrong with you?"

Ali looked up, eyes red, and said, "Sister, are you here to take Mom away?"

Liu Qingyin quickly shook her head and said, "No, we are your mother's friends and we won't arrest her. Why do you think so?"

"In Xiyue, my mother was often kidnapped in the middle of the night, and she was always injured when she came back." Ali said in a low voice, holding back tears, afraid that Miao Shan would hear it.

Liu Qingyin touched Ali's head distressedly and said, "No, no one will arrest your mother in the future, don't be sad."

"Sister, mother is very tired every day to treat my illness, take care of me, make medicine for me, and stay up very late every day."

"If I die, Mom will feel more at ease."

"Ali, your mother did so much just to keep you from dying. If you die, your mother won't be able to live. You have to be strong and try to live on. Everything will be fine!"

"Daddy... doesn't he want me anymore? Is it because I'm a sick child that Daddy doesn't want me anymore?"

Tears welled up in Liu Qingyin's eyes. She hugged Ali and patted her back gently, saying, "All of this has nothing to do with Ali. Ali is a good child."

inside the house.

"Do you have any evidence for what you said?" Ye Hansheng asked.

"There is an account book in the Zunyu Alliance, which clearly records every transaction between Wu Changyuan and the Alliance Leader in various countries."

Miao Shan knelt on the ground: "I hope Master Ye can save me. If the assassination fails this time, he will come a second time. I still have Ali, I can't die!"

"Have you ever massacred my Dongling people?"

Miao Shan shook her head vigorously. "No, Master Ye, I swear on my life and Ali's life that I, Miao Shan, have never killed any civilians in Dongling. Pan Zian sent me those women who were difficult to tame or could not be donors. I erased their memories and let them go!

If you don't believe me, you can check it out. I have a list here!"

Ye Hansheng took the list, was silent for a moment and said: "Then you poisoned the people of Dongling..."

"I can solve it. I'll give you the antidote, which will save you a lot of trouble. Sir, you only need to send someone to put the antidote into their daily drinking water, and the poison in their bodies will be solved without anyone noticing, and it will not have any further impact on their bodies and minds!"

"How do I know that this is not a conspiracy?" Ye Hansheng glanced at her and said softly.

Miao Shan stood up and took out two packets of medicine powder and a prescription, "Young Master is familiar with medicine, you can identify it yourself."

Ye Hansheng looked at the prescription, opened the medicine package to check, then poured two cups of water, put the medicine powder in each and stirred them.

His eyes met Miao Shan, who immediately understood and picked up one of the cups and drank it all.

"Mr. Ye, I guarantee this medicine with my life. There is absolutely no problem." Miao Shan said seriously.

Ye Hansheng tapped the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Not enough!"

"Mom, my sister made some pancakes for me, they are delicious." Ali said with a smile as she walked in.

Miao Shan hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Are you thirsty, Ali? Have a glass of water to moisten your throat."

Miao Shan picked up another glass of water and handed it to Ali. Ali took the glass and drank it, finishing the whole glass!

"Thank you, mother!"

Miao Shan took the cup and looked at Ye Hansheng.

"Okay!" Ye Hansheng said, "Before dawn, I will escort you back to the embassy. The embassy is at the Royal Post House, it's very safe. After dawn, I will arrange for someone to escort Ali to go on the road with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye!" Miao Shan burst into tears of gratitude.

"Thank you, brother!" Ali smiled with curved eyes.

outside the house.

"What do you think?" Liu Qingyin asked.

Ye Hansheng raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

"What do you think, Yin?"

"Miao Shan?" Liu Qingyin said.

"Of course we have to die!" The two smiled at each other and said in unison.

An incense stick later, taking advantage of the dark night, Miao Shan changed her appearance and followed Ye Hansheng and Zhuiying to the delegation. Bufeng, Acheng and Liu Qingyin stayed in the cabin to look after Ali.

Prince Ning's Mansion.

"Your Highness, we failed!" Ah Si said, kneeling on the ground covered in blood.

Prince Ning frowned, turned around and said, "What?!"

"So many people, can't they kill her?"

"It was Yingge. The people from Yingge rescued her and the child!" said Ah Si.

Prince Ning clenched his fists tightly and pounded them on the table. The teacup on the table fell and shattered onto the ground.

"Your Highness, do you want to send someone to the mission?"

“No need!” King Ning closed his eyes. “After leaving Dongling, when Ye Hansheng takes action, you must be there and watch her die.”

"That child must be accompanying us secretly. Find that child and kill her!"

"Those dead people didn't have any identities. Don't go collect the bodies. Don't go to that place again!"

"Yes! I understand. I will prepare it right away!"

............

The next morning, the Western Yue delegation set out and Yingge sent people to escort them. Miao Shan left Shangjing, and Liu Qingyin and others took Ali and secretly followed the delegation.

"Sister, look how beautiful this flower is." Ali smiled happily and put one flower on Liu Qingyin's head and one on her own head.

"It still looks better when Ali wears it." Liu Qingyin said with a smile.

"Sister, look, there is a wounded bird here." Ali carefully held the bird in his hands and showed it to Liu Qingyin.

The bird's leg was broken. With the help of Acheng, Liu Qingyin and A Li carefully bandaged the bird.

"Can you let Ali take care of it?"

"Of course." Liu Qingyin touched Ali's head with a smile.

Ali is innocent and cute, and gets along very well with Liu Qingyin and others along the way.

A few days later, at the border between Dongling and Xiyue.

"I can only escort you here. After crossing this mountain, you will cross the border to the west." Ye said coldly.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye. If you come to Xiyue someday, I will definitely have a drink with you." said the envoy from Xiyue.

Ye Hansheng nodded slightly and said, "I'll take my leave!"

Miao Shan stuck her head out of the carriage and met Ye Hansheng's eyes. The two nodded to each other.

The breeze blows and the fallen leaves dance.

"Sister, brother is here!" Ali was very happy and jumped towards Ye Hansheng.

Ye Hansheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, held her head, and said softly: "Brother can't hug you casually."

Ali blinked her big eyes and nodded as if she understood. She turned and ran towards Liu Qingyin. Ye Hansheng looked fierce. He took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and then threw it away.

After Ye Hansheng reunited with them, he continued to accompany them secretly.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the night was getting darker. The delegation arrived in the territory of Xiyue and rested in an inn.

After days of hard work, the night was getting dark and everyone fell into a deep sleep. A group of bandits came under the cover of darkness, broke into the house, burned, killed, looted, and robbed the delegation of everything.

The bandits were ferocious and the guards of the envoy were exhausted and weak. After a fierce fight, most of the envoys were killed. The bandits set a fire and burned the post station to ashes.

After everyone had evacuated, Ah Si went forward to investigate. He saw charred corpses all over the ground, many of which were stuck together in a black mass, making it impossible to identify their identities.

He examined carefully and found a female corpse wearing a hairpin on her head. He recognized the hairpin; it belonged to Miao Shan.

Ah Si pulled out the half-burned hairpin and went to search for Ah Li.

Not far away, there was another burnt carriage, surrounded by unrecognizable charred corpses. The small corpses on the carriage were huddled in the corner.

Ah Si pulled the rattle from the little charred corpse's arms, turned around and disappeared into the night.

The river is not far from the post station.

"Miao Shan is dead!" Ye said coldly.

"Thank you, sir!"

Seeing Miao Shan kneeling down, Ali also knelt down hurriedly and said, "Thank you, brother, thank you, sister!"

"Hurry up, hurry up." Liu Qingyin quickly helped them up, "You are free."

"Next, you can take Ali anywhere, to the place where there are snow lotus in Dongling, live in anonymity, and don't hurt anyone again."

Miao Shan hugged Ali and kept thanking him.

"Let's say goodbye now!" Liu Qingyin said.

Ye Hansheng, Liu Qingyin and others disappeared into the night, and Miao Shan carried Ali and walked in another direction.

The night was dark and cold wind was blowing. Miao Shan carried Ali and walked with difficulty in the woods. Ali leaned over to look in the direction where Ye Hansheng and others were going until he could no longer see anything.

"Mom, you can put me down now."

Miao Shan paused and gently put Ali down. Ali's eyes were cold. He took out the injured bird from his arms and held it in his hand. With a "click", the bird turned into a pool of blood mud before it could make a sound!

Miao Shan knelt down and said, "I deserve to die! I have humiliated the leader!"

"Ali" looked fierce, threw the bird's body to the ground fiercely, and rubbed the blood on Miaoshan's shoulder. She said in a vague and strange voice: "You are such a waste!"

"I deserve to die. I hope the leader will forgive me!" Miao Shan kowtowed repeatedly, with blood oozing from his forehead.

"You want to threaten Wu Changyuan to take Ali to Dongling. What do you want to do? Do you want to defect?"

"No, I dare not. I just want to cure Ali. Ali, how is Ali?" Miao Shan said with tears in her eyes, hugging her legs.

She kicked her away. Miao Shan covered her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. She crawled to her feet with difficulty, continued to hold her feet gently and said, "Alliance Master, please forgive me. I will not refuse even if I die, but I beg you to spare me... spare Ali."

She looked down at Miao Shan who was kneeling on the ground like a dog, squatted down and tore off the human skin mask that looked like Ali.

She lifted Miao Shan's chin, shook the human skin mask, and said with a smile: "Mom, Ali is fine. As long as mom develops the medicine well, Ali will be fine. Hahahaha!"

The strange and ethereal laughter made Miao Shan shiver...
