This villain has become a ghost

Luo Tong lowered his eyelashes.

Before she could stand up, the man in black picked up a cloak and draped it over Luo Tong gently.

Luo Tong said softly: "Thank you."

The man in black took off his cloak, revealing his lovely, delicate features. His eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, his nose was straight, and his lips were red without any makeup.

...It was Ye Zhaoxi.

However, those eyes that usually shone like stars were now somewhat dim, and his whole body exuded a faint gloomy aura.

Ye Zhaoxi pushed her to sit on the bed and sighed, "...You know the condition of your body, yet you still don't take care of it."

"I've given you so much time. Have you considered it?"

Luo Tong shook his head and said:

"...Ayan, my answer has changed from the beginning to the end. I want to help you."

Ye Zhaoxi frowned, stared at her with a complicated expression, and said solemnly:

"No."

"I know you want to help me, but I can't do it at your expense!"

"This child...can't be kept."

Given Luo Tong's physical condition, if she insisted on giving birth to this child, she would definitely die.

Ye Zhaoxi closed his eyes:

"You hid it from me and asked someone to borrow sperm to have a child. If I hadn't found the medicine to maintain pregnancy in the medicine residue that Bai Yueguang threw away, I'm afraid you would have kept it a secret."

"You're treating yourself like this, but have you ever considered that if you die, I'll be completely alone and helpless in this palace?"

The moonlight was bright, making the firelight inside the hall look dim. Suddenly, a dark cloud covered the hall, and the dim light illuminated two beautiful yet painful faces.

Luo Tong said in a hoarse voice:

"But...Ayan, we will all die."

"We are all going to die."

She held Ye Zhaoxi's hand tightly and said, "Ayan, please save this child and let me help you..."

Ye Zhaoxi remained silent.

Luo Tong smiled bitterly and continued:

"Your power has already secretly infiltrated half of the court. You can threaten and bribe the rest, but there will always be a part that remains loyal to Nangong Mingzhu and Nangong Qianshang."

For example, Shen Yue, Ling Chaomian, the Su family father and son, and Qiu Lin.

"You must have a nominal heir to the throne."

"This way, your plan will go more smoothly..."

"Even if I die, you still have Yin Yun, Liu Zeyin, the secret guards you've painstakingly cultivated over the years, and the court officials you've won over... They will all help you."

Ye Zhaoxi suddenly burst into laughter.

She laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face, and her eyes seemed to be washed clean, leaving no idea what was left.

She asked, "Yin Yun? Liu Zeyin?"

"Over the years, I have only dared to communicate with them through letters."

"I've been pretending for too long. I'm no longer who they think I am."

She had gone crazy a long time ago and she didn't care whether they lived or died.

But Luo Tong is different.

She is the only person she dares to face with her true face now, and her most trusted partner in this world.

Ye Zhaoxi said: "...Luo Tong, you are the only one I have."

"Even if we are both going to die, I will die before you. You must live well."

Luo Tong wanted to speak, but was interrupted by her.

Ye Zhaoxi stood up and looked back at her:

"Even without this child, I still have a way to realize my plan."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Arriving at the entrance of the hall, Ye Zhaoxi said again:

"Bai Yueguang has a prescription that can abort a fetus without harming the mother. It's in the incense in your hall today."

"I'm worried about the others. From now on, I'll come every day to see you drink the medicine and personally heal you."

Luo Tong's pupils constricted, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

...What time was there to give her to think about it? Actually, there was none at all. Ye Zhaoxi had already made the decision for her.

-

border.

The camp was perfectly located at the wind's edge, allowing for easy adjustment. The terrain and topography were also suitable, allowing for both attack and defense.

However, after the first battle, Xia Ruozhi and Chu Shiqing did not gain any advantage, but instead found the situation extremely difficult.

Chi Yu's army rushed forward as if they were risking their lives. Although normal soldiers were brave, they would never adopt such a reckless fighting style.

Although Chi Yu's army suffered heavier losses than theirs, the soldiers were somewhat frightened by the killing.

If this was their goal, then it must be said that they succeeded. The first battle was crucial, and such heavy casualties at the outset would easily leave a shadow of death in the hearts of the troops and wear down their morale.

As the moon and clouds came in, Xia Ruozhi and Chu Shiqing were seen in the tent.

There were dark circles under her eyes, and she looked much more haggard.

Xia Ruozhi and Chu Shiqing also looked unhappy as they discussed deployment and battle plans.

Yue Liuyun propped up his head, letting himself rest for a few seconds, closed his eyes and said:

"What we can confirm now is that the enemy's main commander is General Huqi."

"According to Murong Huai, since the death of the Red Plover King, Murong Chuan has revealed his ambitions. He has transformed from a weakling into a leader who holds the power of the Red Plover. He is also collaborating with the Silver Plover Tribe in an attempt to unify the other tribes."

"The forces of Murong Huai and Murong Jin in Daying were wiped out by His Majesty and his men. With such a major incident happening in Chiyu, they both rushed to Chiyu."

"The three siblings first reached a consensus and cooperated with the Yinmai tribe to unify the entire Chiyu Thirty-Eight Tribes. Then they plotted to kill the Yinmai King. From then on, the Chiyu tribe took over all power."

"After unifying all the tribes, they began a civil war."

Having said this, Yue Liuyun opened his eyes, his eyes full of solemnity. He paused and continued:

"In the end... Murong Chuan died."

"Murong Huai lost an arm, but he managed to escape to Wuzhou."

"The ultimate winner of this civil war...is Murong Jin."

Yue Liuyun always remembered that Murong Huai was quite resourceful. Judging from his actions in the Eastern Capital, he was no ordinary man. Murong Chuan, meanwhile, had endured and laid low for years, calculating and scheming, yet was able to unify the tribes with lightning speed, making him a ruthless character as well.

But neither of them could defeat Murong Jin.

"General Huqi is Chiyu's most outstanding general. Both of you have fought in battles and killed enemies before, so you naturally know his marching style."

"But now, this style has changed. I suspect Murong Jin is still behind this."

Her initial intuition turned out to be correct; this woman was a tough character.

Chu Shiqing held his breath and listened to the news she said, thinking for a moment, and then asked respectfully:

"How did you know about this, sir?"

Yue Liuyun has done a lot of things in the past few days, and each of them made him and Xia Ruzhi admire him very much. Therefore, the "sir" they called him was also sincere.

Yue Liuyun replied with a half-smile:

"Murong Huai has confessed everything."

Chu Shiqing was very surprised:

"how did you do that?"
