This villain has become a ghost

Xia Ruozhi picked up his sword, used the hilt as a stick, and ran around the room chasing Bai Yueguang.

He gnashed his teeth and shouted in frustration:

"...You damned kid, you actually used me to test drugs! Stop right there!"

Bai Yueguang ran non-stop, his legs swinging like wheels, and explained confidently as he ran:

"I'm a miracle doctor. How could I possibly let you take the wrong medicine?"

"Theoretically, this medicine is absolutely fine, that's why I dared to let you try it..."

Xia Ruozhi became even more angry:

"In theory? But in practice?"

Bai Yueguang thought silently in his heart: Actually...it depends on how strong your life is.

Although he thought so in his heart, if he really said it out loud, the miracle doctor would probably die on the spot.

Bai Yueguang was tired from running and stopped hiding. She put her hands on her waist and said breathlessly:

"...Alas, a great general, you are so narrow-minded. Look at General Chang Geng, he tried so many medicines on me, but he never said anything."

Xia Ruozhi wanted to throw the medicine bowl on her forehead, but he finally held back and glared at her and said:

"That's because you gave him money!"

"That guy... loves money like his life. He's always eager to get involved in any money-making venture."

Bai Yueguang immediately thought of Chu Shiqing's greedy look and nodded in agreement:

"That's true."

She looked at Xia Ruzhi, with a look of "I am rich" on her face, and said:

"What about you? Do you need money too?"

Xia Ruozhi snorted, folded his arms and turned his head away:

"unnecessary!"

"Since it's not necessary... that's great," Bai Yueguang thought to himself, saving another penny, and said with a smile, "...it's okay, just keep writing."

"If there's no problem with the medicine, you can give it to others."

"Goodbye."

Bai Yueguang picked up the empty medicine bowl, waved at Xia Ruzhi, and then ran away.

Xia Ruozhi: “…”

Running really fast.

-

Dongdu.

Most imperial masters throughout history were buried on Zhongding Mountain. However, after the collapse of Zhongding Mountain and Tianji Pavilion, Duanheng Mountain became the ideal location for burying imperial masters. While not as steep as Zhongding Mountain, its terrain is just as steep as a tiger descending from a mountain, offering excellent feng shui.

The unusual celestial phenomena that night caused the people to panic even more. They all said that the death of the national teacher had brought the wrath of heaven, and that the gods might no longer protect Daying.

The world was in the midst of heated discussions about the celestial phenomena and the cause of the Imperial Master's death, completely overshadowing the undercurrents surging that night.

For example, He Xi was killed in prison, who was the person who instigated the people to riot and march, and who was the person who sent people to assassinate the Su family father and son.

"...And we need to bring all of this to the table for discussion at the same time."

In the southern study, Song Zhiyi, Nangong Qianshang, Shen Yue, and Su Shaoran sat together.

...playing flying chess.

Speaking of which, it was Yue Liuyun, who occupied Nangong Mingzhu's body at the time, who passed this game to Nangong Qianshang and Shen Yue.

This game has won the favor of many people because it is suitable for all ages, does not require any brainpower, is suitable for group play, etc.

Song Zhiyi placed the flying chess piece at the starting point and said:

"For us, the person hiding in the dark has appeared, but for the people and the civil and military officials, this is not the case."

Ye Zhaoxi never appeared in the sight of others from beginning to end, which made her seem too innocent.

Shen Yue shook his head and unfortunately failed to take off, but his expression remained unchanged. He said gently:

"It's just a war of public opinion, but it doesn't mean we can't do it. I visited various schools in the Eastern Capital a few days ago, and this morning I went to the Imperial College. Coincidentally, I gained a lot."

Ye Zhaoxi's chess pieces were mostly among the people, which did help spread public opinion. However, starting from the school, especially for the local schools that even poor families can afford to go to, public opinion is more effective.

Su Shaoran shook the highest number expressionlessly and said:

"Soon, there should be two, no, different voices."

“Who will the people and court officials trust then?”

Nangong Qianshang pondered and said:

“It doesn’t matter who you believe in.”

"As long as there are voices, no matter how unbelievable they are, there will always be people who plant seeds of doubt in their hearts."

"At this time, as long as credible evidence appears, people will become like crazy and firmly believe that the answer in their hearts is correct."

"However, public opinion is only a prerequisite, but not the fundamental factor. The fundamental factor is... we must win."

As long as you win, even if public opinion is unfavorable, it will only fade away with the passage of time. After all, most people have no memory of public opinion.

"Win?" Song Zhiyi sighed.

She rolled the dice and accidentally told the truth:

"There were so many of us, and we were treated so badly by a little girl."

"Now we're finally joining forces to fight them. Even if we win... let's not talk about whether it's decent or not..."

...The dead can never come back.

The only meaning now is to prevent more people from dying.

Nangong Qianshang gently patted the back of her hand, and the two exchanged glances.

Shen Yue and Su Shaoran pretended not to see it.

……Alas.

I won’t kill you if I don’t show you.

Song Zhiyi counted the squares, then pretended to be innocent and blew one of Nangong Qianshang's chess pieces back, saying:

"How's it going in Yizhou?"

Nangong Qianshang saw his chess piece being blown back by her, he just smiled lightly and replied:

"This time, the news finally got through."

"Yizhou and Liangzhou have been captured. My brother is leading a large army to the border to provide support."

"As for Dongdu..."

"My brother said, everything is up to me."

Nangong Qianshang moved another chess piece according to the points and asked Song Zhiyi:

"What did General Song say?"

Song Zhiyi said:

"My dad said to listen to me."

Nangong Qianshang nodded, then looked at Su Shaoran and asked:

"How's the Ministry of Justice doing?"

Su Shaoran still had no expression on his face:

"My dad said, listen to me."

The three of them looked at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue, who was out of place and alone, said inexplicably:

"Dont look at me."

"I listen to myself."

...Okay, I'll let you go.

The dice spun around the board, then slowly came to a stop. Su Shaoran rolled a six again.

Shen Yue exclaimed:

"Master Su, you are very lucky."

Su Shaoran said calmly:

"It was just a fluke."

The other three looked at him coldly.

...This sounds really annoying.

Shen Yue stared at Su Shaoran's face, which hadn't shown any expression for a long time, and suddenly chuckled, sighing:

"Sometimes, I really admire General Chang Geng."

"It's surprising that he has such a close relationship with you and General Kui Shao."
