Yue Liuyun said in a deep voice:

"There was once a dynasty that closed itself off from the outside world and lost contact with the outside world. When it reopened its diplomatic relations, it found itself completely behind other countries, whether in weapons or culture."

"This dynasty had a vast territory and abundant resources, but it was targeted by other covetous nations. They launched wars, signed unequal treaties, ceded territory and paid indemnities, and several cities fell..."

"Because of its backwardness, it was unable to fight against other countries. It lost its sovereignty and was subjected to burning, murder, looting, and all sorts of atrocities. They burned the royal gardens and launched numerous massacres, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people..."

"The situation is precarious and perilous."

"It is countless times worse and more dangerous than Daying today."

Yue Liuyun asked, "General, do you think this dynasty can be saved?"

Liu Zeyin shook her head: "How is that possible?"

"But it happened to be saved. A group of people with lofty ideals saved it. Not only that, it also embarked on a better path than other countries. It was like being reborn after being on the brink of death. It was like a miracle."

“Some things always need to be done by someone. Even if countless corpses are stepped on and much blood is spilled in the process, the result is always worth it.”

Yue Liuyun paused and said, "...To the General, this story may sound incredible, right?"

But she believed it firmly.

Because she knew it was real.

As she had just said, some things always needed to be done by someone else. Although she was as insignificant as an ant, since she had been brought here to act as a superhero, she should do her best.

Yanagisawa seemed to be lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, he stopped and said, "...Is it true?"

Yue Liuyun also stopped and said, "If the general believes it, then it is true."

"What about you?" Liu Zeyin looked at her.

Yue Liuyun said:

"There was never any doubt."

The night is deep.

Liu Zeyin stared at her profile, his mind churning, and finally he just said: "...Thank you."

"I should be the one thanking you, General." Yue Liuyun bowed to him, smiled faintly, and said, "General, you are kind-hearted and willing to take me in. You have trained me to the utmost. I am...deeply grateful."

She paused, then suddenly raised her eyes, met Liu Zeyun's eyes, and chuckled softly:

"...and, thank you, General, for not killing me."

The conversation just now revealed too much information, from the beginning when something was wrong to the end...

Yue Liuyun was certain that Liu Zeyin already knew her identity.

The conversation just now was not just about "asking questions" and "telling stories". It was a test, a question, a hint, and an inadvertent statement of position.

Liu Zeyin looked at her steadily, with a complicated expression, and suddenly revealed a very faint smile, sighing:

"People like you, if you let the tiger go back into the mountains, will be a disaster."

"...But the general still didn't kill me. Not only that, he even stood up and saved me just now." Yue Liuyun said.

"But I'm curious, General...when did you find out?"

Liu Zeyin said: "That cannot be said."

Yue Liuyun nodded.

The crowd kept coming and going. Liu Zeyin looked at her with complicated eyes for a long time before finally closing his eyes.

Now that everything has been revealed, we can no longer go back together.

Liu Zeyin turned and left, looking back and said in a deep voice:

"treasure."

"General."

Yue Liuyun suddenly called him, and her soft voice floated into his ears, which was very pleasant to hear.

Liu Zeyin stopped.

She said solemnly, "If one day you are willing to believe that what I just said is true, remember... let me know."

In a moment, Liu Zeyin's figure finally merged into the crowd and disappeared in the dim lights.

Yue Liuyun whispered, "Take care."

She turned around and walked back into the bustling street, a myriad of thoughts overwhelming her.

Yue Liuyun took off his disguise in an instant, wiped the cold sweat from his palms, let out a long sigh, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Just now, although she seemed to be talking to Liu Zeyin calmly on the surface, her heart was already in turmoil.

After she keenly realized that Liu Zeyin knew her identity, cold sweat broke out on her back.

Fortunately, he didn't think of killing her.

Feng Ning wasn't here today and didn't follow her. If he really wanted to kill her...

Yue Liuyun didn't dare to think further.

She always felt that what happened today was too strange, too wrong, and had too many suspicious points.

The main question is, when did Liu Zeyin know her identity and how did she know it?

His intuition told him that Yanagisawa had only just learned about this today and that was why he came looking for her. Because everything had been normal before, and it was only today that something seemed off.

So, how did he suddenly know?

What's even more strange is that she didn't think she had enough charm to convince Liu Zeyin not to kill her with just a few words. Instead, it seemed as if... Liu Zeyin had no intention of killing her from the beginning.

But why is this?

Why would he have no intention of killing someone who betrayed him?

This happened so suddenly, and now it seems weirder and weirder the more I think about it.

Yue Liuyun's eyes were gloomy. He clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and tried to make his mind clearer.

…No matter what, she was tricked in this matter. There must be some things she hadn't thought of, and there must be some loopholes…

From now on... I have to be more cautious.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was suddenly a commotion in the crowd not far ahead, with sounds of exclamations and shouting.

Yue Liuyun looked a little stern.

What's going on?

At this moment, a crazy man suddenly rushed out from the crowd like a wild beast out of control.

His cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his face was full of pain, like a dying patient.

The man muttered to himself, waving his arms and repeating the same words: "I want to go back to Wuzhou, I want to go back to Wuzhou!"

"I don't want to stay here, let me go back, let me go back quickly!"

Yue Liuyun: “!!!”

The man rushed over like a madman. Yue Liuyun was startled and quickly dodged the man.

Damn, that was a close call, I almost got hit by him.

"Here he is, follow him!"

"Quick, quick, catch him!"

A large group of officers and soldiers rushed over, grabbed his arms, and tried to calm him down. However, the man struggled desperately with amazing strength.

"Sir, please don't move. Attacking officers and soldiers is a serious crime!"

The man seemed not to hear and continued to mutter about wanting to go back to Wuzhou, struggling desperately.

At this time, people around gathered around and talked about it.

"Is this man crazy?"

"Look at him, he's so scary!"

"Yeah yeah……"

The officers and soldiers captured him at an extremely fast speed. Some officers and soldiers who were evacuating the civilians blocked Yue Liuyun's view, making it difficult for him to see what was happening.

After a while, the man was taken away and the shouting became quieter.

Yue Liuyun frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.

What the hell is going on tonight? Why are there so many weird things happening?

Yue Liuyun is questioning his life.

Suddenly, a familiar voice with a smile sounded slowly, bringing her back to her senses.

"Girl, didn't you go back? Why are you here?"

She looked up and saw Jiang Wenjin in a water-green brocade dress with swirling patterns. He had an extraordinary temperament, and the contrast between the lights and his face made him look extremely handsome.

He stood among the officers and soldiers who were about to disperse, and whispered something to the leader. The leader nodded and hurried away with the rest of the people.

It seems that he was the one who called those officers and soldiers here.

Seeing him, Yue Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran up to him and said:

"Hello, Boss Jiang, you showed up at the perfect time."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wenjin asked with a smile.

Yue Liuyun approached him and whispered, "...Take me to see His Majesty. I haven't been away for long, so he shouldn't have left yet, right?"

Jiang Wenjin: “?!!”

He was surprised and asked, "How do you know..."

"Alright, alright, who else could your 'friend' be other than His Majesty? Take me to see him quickly, I have something important to tell you..." Yue Liuyun urged.

Jiang Wenjin didn't hesitate, but instead smiled brightly again, reaching out and pushing her to a less crowded place:

"Okay, let's go."

"Don't worry, he hasn't left yet and has been staying in Qingyunzhai."
