This villain has become a ghost

Yue Liuyun: “?”

Nangong Wanqing slowly loosened her hand but did not move it away. Instead, it slid down at an extremely fast speed and struck a certain acupuncture point of hers in a simple and rough manner.

The next second, Yue Liuyun fell down with his eyes closed.

Nangong Wanqing caught her steadily, helped her onto the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

The lights were blown out, and only the moonlight shining through the window lattice was reflected quietly on the girl's face.

Nangong Wanqing walked to the place where she had just sat, sat down, put the knife on the table, supported her head with her eyes closed and rested.

Jingtan's voice rang out from her mind:

[Just now...why didn't you let me tell her? She would know sooner or later.]

Ling Chaomian died, and the rules of destiny were completely cut off from this world and slowly declined.

Others may not know, but Jingtan, as the ruler, can definitely sense it.

These will have a huge impact on the world, and he also needs to tell the three travelers in this world.

Without the constraints of rules and the hindrance of destiny, this road will become less difficult.

The turning point has come.

Nangong Wanqing still closed her eyes and sighed:

"There is a turning point, but... it came at the cost of my friend's life."

"She won't be happy."

"Tonight... let her have a good sleep first."

-

A group of men and horses advanced slowly through the wilderness outside the city, their shadows standing out in the moonlight. The sturdy soldiers, clad in iron armor and armed with spears, escorted a carriage loaded with firearms.

The carriage wheels rolled, making a dull sound that blended with the footsteps of the soldiers.

The sky was abnormal, with strong winds and muffled thunder, as if a storm was coming.

The soldiers were blinded by the wind and sand, screamed in fear, and stopped where they were, not daring to move.

Pei Duo loudly ordered:

"Don't move yet, protect the carriage! When the wind dies down, find a place to shelter from the rain and rest!"

However, the expected rain did not come. After the strange astronomical phenomenon, everything returned to normal, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone brightly.

Although Pei Duo felt something was wrong, he did not stop but ordered his men to continue moving forward quickly.

In the past few days, Qiu Shuangwan worked day and night and finally led his people to produce a batch of firearms.

Pei Duo took advantage of the night to transport it to Wuzhou, and then had the baggage train transport it to the border.

As the team got closer and closer to the city gate, the guards on the city wall spotted them and raised their torches.

The city gate slowly opened, and the procession entered. The streets were deserted, with only the wind blowing, bringing a slight cool breeze.

They soon arrived at the armory. Soldiers were patrolling inside and outside. The leader was named Cao Xin. He was originally a close confidant of Pei Duo, but was later sent here because Wuzhou was short of manpower.

The two men urged the soldiers to move the firearms into the warehouse.

Pei Duo said, "Old Cao, long time no see."

Cao Xin said helplessly, "...Master Pei, you come here too often. I've seen Master Yue less often than I've seen you. So don't say 'long time no see'. Where's the 'long time'?"

Pei Duo: “…”

Cao Xin began to persuade him earnestly:

"Master Pei, it's obvious that Lady Yue has no interest in you. You should just give up. There are plenty of pretty girls in Daying. As the saying goes, there are always beautiful women out there..."

"...What's more, Lord Yue is already married. Although we were bandits before, we are now considered officials. We still have to respect some etiquette and dignity..."

Pei Duo glanced at him, crossed his arms, and said as if he was extremely thick-skinned:

"Official family? The world has been in chaos for a long time, how can there be any official family members left?"

"I heard her say that her husband is in Dongdu. But up to now, there has been no news from Dongdu. It should have been in chaos long ago."

"If... her husband dies accidentally, then I'll naturally have a chance."

Cao Xin: “…”

Cao Xin was stunned.

That's too mean! How can you curse someone to death like that?

"Okay, Lao Cao, put away your expression," Pei Duo turned and asked, "...I want to ask you, has anything happened in Wuzhou recently? How is she?"

Cao Xin sighed deeply:

"It's still the same. Even if we do our best to maintain order, there are still people causing trouble. We've suppressed several groups, and used all kinds of punishments and warnings, but nothing works. Those people are like possessed..."

"A few days ago, Lord Feng Ning caught a few people who had sneaked out of the city, carrying some flower seeds with them. And they were actually among the first group of people who successfully quit smoking..."

When Cao Xin was a bandit in Cangshan, Quanzhou, he was self-sufficient and lived a comfortable life. After he came to Wuzhou to work, he lost a lot of weight because he was too busy.

After he finished speaking, he hesitated, looked at Pei Duo with complicated eyes, and asked:

"...Sir, how is Quanzhou?"

"My family...are they all okay?"

Pei Duo looked at him deeply and replied:

"No worries about life, food, clothing, shelter and transportation."

He asked Cao Xin:

"Do you... miss home?"

Cao Xin was silent for a long time. Perhaps he had thought of something, then he smiled happily and slowly said:

“…I really want to.”

"My daughter is just old enough to go to a private school. After this war is over and Wuzhou is settled, we will go to Yudu to settle down. The money I have saved over the years will definitely be enough for her to go to school. I want her to go to the best private school..."

Pei Duo nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, then... if you have any difficulties, come to me and I will definitely help you."

Cao Xin laughed heartily:

"Sir, you should get married first."

"At this rate... you're exhausting people to death. When will this end?"

Pei Duo: “…”

Pei Duo: "That's enough."

-

The night was like endless ink pouring down, and the trees beside the wall swayed in the night wind.

The wall was winding, and the guards from the governor's mansion were patrolling everywhere.

"Rustle--" Several figures that almost blended into the darkness climbed over the wall silently.

The lights in the mansion had long been extinguished. In the darkness, murderous intent surged, swords and knives were pointed at backs and necks, and the guards fell one after another in a pool of blood.

Crossing the courtyard, the black shadow quickly approached inside, gripping the sword in his hand tighter and tighter.

All the lights in the room were off, and the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Several people looked at each other, surrounded the door from all sides, and one of them prepared to break in.

In the inner room, Nangong Wanqing, who was resting with her head propped up, suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had sensed something, and suddenly revealed a cold murderous intent.

She picked up the knife on the table, quickly opened the door, and slashed at the leader.

The knife flashed a sharp arc in the darkness, and the leading black shadow reacted extremely quickly and dodged sideways.

Nangong Wanqing frowned and said "tsk".

so annoying.

Is it so difficult to let people have a good sleep?
