This villain has become a ghost

The governor of Wuzhou was still coughing.

Under the dim light, Pei Duo's expression was unclear as he stared straight at Murong Huai and the governor of Wuzhou.

He asked, "...the army has surrounded this place, why haven't you left yet?"

Murong Huai smiled and said with certainty: "The two generals' main purpose is not here."

"Oh?" Pei Duo crossed his legs and asked with interest, "...what do you mean?"

Murong Huai slowly stood up and said:

"Although I was the one who revealed Miss Yue's identity, Master Pei should pretend to be completely unaware. After this is over, you can kill her or not. It's up to you how you want to deal with her."

"If Master Pei really wanted to kill her, how could he give anyone a chance to save her?"

"Besides, even though I surrendered, Miss Yue clearly knew my true identity, but she never mentioned it."

"...The situation was urgent and the incident happened suddenly. As a normal person, it's normal to be afraid of death. Regardless of whether it's true or not, you would want to escape first. With her stirring up the atmosphere, it's not surprising that the Quanzhou governor believed her."

Murong Huai continued:

"This self-torture tactic is brilliant, but unfortunately... only someone like the Quanzhou Governor would fall for it, walking right into the tiger's mouth."

Pei Duo smiled noncommittally:

"You are quite clever. It is surprising that the Governor of Wuzhou has an advisor like you..."

"Thank you." Murong Huai seemed to have thought of something, his empty sleeves moved by the wind, and his expression darkened. "It's just that things didn't go as planned."

"It's a pity...you're not smart enough," Pei Duo added, "...at the very least, you might not be as clever as that girl."

The sound of fighting continued outside the tent, and the smell of blood and dust filled the air.

Murong Huai was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"What's the meaning."

"What I mean is, being too clever can backfire," Pei Duo suddenly drew his sword and said, "...I have a vague feeling that she might know you, and your status is not that high, so I suddenly came up with that move to cooperate with her in that clumsy play."

He pointed his sword at Murong Huai and the governor of Wuzhou.

"...But, no matter who you are today, since you're here, we have no intention of letting you go back safely."

The governor of Wuzhou suddenly turned pale and started coughing violently. He clutched Murong Huai's sleeve tightly and trembled as he said,

"No, no... We have to go back, we have to go back! I will die if I don't go back!"

Pei Duo chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, you are still useful. I won't let you die for the time being."

Murong Huai supported him and slowly retreated, saying to Pei Duo:

"Now that we're here, it's impossible for us not to make other preparations."

As long as he gave the order, the elite soldiers outside would send out the signal to call on the Wuzhou guards to come to support.

Pei Duo's men have already sent some to chase the Quanzhou governor. After all, he is just a bandit leader. How many people can he have under his command? How can they compare with truly well-trained soldiers?

"Forget about it," Pei Duo said lightly, "someone will naturally stop your preparations."

"The bottom line is, you can't leave, otherwise you can try."

Murong Huai's pupils constricted.

He suddenly realized that the sounds of fighting coming from outside were very close to them, and it was impossible that they were chasing the Quanzhou Governor.

Murong Huai shook off the hand of the Wuzhou governor and quickly turned around to open the curtain.

The night outside grew darker, the cries of killing and the clashing of weapons resounding through the air. Corpses lay scattered about, some mutilated, others bloodied and mangled, their blood staining the ground red.

The elite soldiers he brought with him all fell in a pool of blood and were killed without a single one left.

The governor of Wuzhou collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself like a madman: "It's over, it's over. No, no... I have to go back, let me go back! Go back!"

Murong Huai stared outside intently.

Among those people, there were not only people dressed as bandits, but also soldiers wearing official armor! In other words, Xia Ruozhi and Chu Shiqing had sent people here!

In a moment, the huge crowd made way for a path, and a white horse galloped towards the tent. On the horse sat a woman in white clothes, with her long hair tied up high, a charming and beautiful face, and graceful manners.

When he got closer, Murong Huai saw the face clearly and couldn't help but freeze in his place, blurting out: "It's you!"

Nangong Wanqing dismounted and was surprised to see Murong Huai. She frowned and said:

"why you?"

Her second sentence was directed at Pei Duo: "...Master Pei, why haven't these two been tied up yet?"

Pei Duo nodded:

"Almost forgot."

As he said this, he turned around, took out a rope from the tent, and tied up the Wuzhou governor tightly.

Nangong Wanqing turned her gaze to Murong Huai and looked at him curiously.

Murong Huai remained silent, subconsciously took a step back and smiled bitterly.

The person who brought the troops here to trap them...it seems to be her.

She was always on the opposite side of him.

Murong Huai avoided her gaze and turned sideways to cover his broken arm.

Nangong Wanqing was not blind and subconsciously wanted to ask.

…but she noticed that his face was getting paler, so she didn't say anything.

After Pei Duo tied up the governor of Wuzhou, he went on to tie up Murong Huai.

...Yue Liuyun did not reveal to Pei Duo the identities of Qiu Shuangwan and Nangong Wanqing, so he did not know Nangong Wanqing, Qiu Shuangwan, or Murong Huai.

He asked thoughtfully:

"...Who is he?"

Nangong Wanqing said:

"The prince of the Red Plover Tribe, Murong Huai."

...An inspirational prince who has been in Daying for a long time and has experienced many twists and turns, but still remains true to his original aspirations. The harder he works, the more heartbroken he becomes, and the more heartbroken he becomes, the harder he works.

-

Yue Liuyun gripped the reins tightly, the wind whistling in her ears, whipping her cheeks painfully. It felt like a vast army was chasing her. She followed the Quanzhou governor and his staff at a rapid pace, her horse never stopping.

"The Lord is here, open the city gate!"

The towering city walls crouch on the ground like a giant beast, silent and murderous.

The city gate opened slowly, and then quickly closed again after several horses and men entered the city.

Thousands of soldiers and horses gathered at the foot of the city. Xia Ruozhi and Chu Shiqing, riding their war horses, were blocked outside the city. War drums were beating and horns were blasting.

The soldiers were dressed in iron armor and held spears in their hands. Their horses neighed and their hooves stamped on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

In the darkness of the night, the governor of Quanzhou was panting as he stood on the city wall, looking down at the city below. He tightly grasped the wrist of his staff member and gritted his teeth:

“How can it be so fast?!”

The commander came running over in a hurry, looking at the huge army under the city, and said in panic:

"Sir, what should we do? Should we open the city gate?"

“No, it can’t be opened now!”

The governor of Quanzhou looked gloomy.
