This villain has become a ghost

"Until... I spent a great deal of time and energy, secretly investigating this matter myself."

The light in the tent was dim, and the light soup on the table had already gone cold.

Murong Jin was still very angry when she recalled this incident. She clenched her fists, her eyes full of resentment, and suppressed her anger and said:

"It turns out that General Huqi has betrayed me."

She added: "...Not only that, he also secretly cultivated poppies in Chiyu and learned the method of making white powder for opium. He found a group of people, passed on this method, and produced it in large quantities, storing it in a cave in Yanhe Mountain."

"...Starting with the smallest tribe, people from seven other tribes have become addicted!"

Murong Jin's eyes became colder and colder, and his voice became deeper and deeper:

"Ye Zhaoxi has been cultivating various poisonous creatures without telling anyone, but I know about it. Even if she hides it well, I can still guess it through various clues."

"During the time she was in the palace, I was quite wary of her."

"When Wuzhou was plagued by opium and cocaine, I immediately guessed it was Ye Zhaoxi's doing."

But at the time, she wasn't targeting Chiyu, and the civil unrest in Daying would also benefit her. Therefore, even though Murong Jin knew that this thing was harmful, he only issued an order prohibiting the cultivation of poppies in Chiyu and prohibiting trade with the three border states.

...but he didn't expect that the boomerang would finally hit him.

Murong Jin said coldly:

"I must eradicate these cancers and kill those who betrayed me."

"Leave no one behind."

If a country is no longer a country, the king will no longer be a king.

Everything she did was in vain and meaningless, and everything returned to the starting point.

When she said something, Yue Liuyun's eyes suddenly turned straight to Murong Jin. Her fists unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter, her knuckles turned white, and her body trembled slightly. The overwhelming hatred was suppressed by her at that moment.

...finally returned to peace.

The secret agents and informants in Wuzhou have a large amount of drugs in their hands.

If what Murong Jin said was true, those people were General Huqi's men.

General Huqi...

Yue Liuyun lowered his eyes and heard his own calm and forbearing voice:

"Do you know...why General Huqi betrayed you?"

Murong Jin laughed at himself:

"I have been with him since I was a child. He is more like a father to me than my own father, the king."

"I also want to know...why he betrayed me."

Yue Liuyun's expression remained unchanged as he searched for memories in his mind and said:

"...As close as father and daughter, huh?"

"Then your Highness, do you know... General Huqi is actually the illegitimate son of the old Red Plover King in Daying Quanzhou. According to seniority, your Highness should call him uncle."

Murong Jin's pupils constricted, and he slammed the table and stood up:

"What did you say?!"

Judging from her reaction, it seemed like she really didn't know about this.

Yue Liuyun looked at her calmly and said:

"General Huqi once wandered around Daying for a long time. Later, he learned of his origins and returned to the Chihe tribe as a young man. However, the old Chihe king, fearing his wife, did not dare to recognize him and instead banished him to the military camp."

"...Later, the God of War Chiyu and General Huqi appeared."

If the timeline is correct, Huqi's wanderings in Daying coincided with the darkest period of Daying's rule, when the retired emperor was even more licentious and immoral than Nangong Chunyi. Later, when he returned to Chiyu, he was met with even more contempt and suffering.

It is not surprising that he was persuaded by Ye Zhaoxi to join her camp.

Murong Jin looked at Yue Liuyun with a look of solemnity and suspicion, but more of it was vigilance and shock:

“…Even I and my father know nothing about Huqi’s life story. How did you know?!”

No emotion could be discerned in Yue Liuyun's dark eyes; he just stared at her quietly.

...Of course, I saw it in "Records of the Great Ying".

In the book, when Song Zhiyi led the four generals to destroy Chi Yu, the most difficult one was General Huqi, so he was given more attention. It happened that Yue Liuyun had an excellent memory and remembered everything.

This crappy book finally has a little value.

Yue Liuyun actually didn't quite trust Murong Jin.

She only believed what she saw.

Because one possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, Murong Jin was directing and acting out the whole thing himself, and conspiring with General Huqi to trick her.

If this is true, then Murong Jin can truly be called a warrior.

Did she really not expect that Yue Liuyun would go all out and poison her directly? As Yue Liuyun had said before, this girl was best at getting involved in the game herself.

But the risk was too great, and she could vaguely feel that Murong Jin was very eager to cooperate.

Murong Jin was also still suspicious and said thoughtfully:

"Why did you tell me all this just now?"

Yue Liuyun raised his eyebrows and said:

"you guess?"

Murong Jin: “…”

Murong Jin's brain was working rapidly.

After a long moment, she suddenly looked towards Yue Liuyun and said meaningfully:

"...Your Excellency, are you doubting me?"

After hearing Yue Liuyun's words, if Murong Jin was telling the truth, she would be more determined to get rid of General Huqi. But if she was lying, it would also plant the seeds of doubt in her heart.

Hearing the word "doubt", Yue Liuyun sneered, but there was no smile in his eyes:

"Each each other."

She said with a half-smile:

"Instead of suspecting each other, Your Highness should get straight to the point."

"Tell me... Your Highness, what exactly do you want? How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Murong Jin was direct and didn't beat around the bush. He spoke without hesitation:

"It's very simple... What I want from the beginning to the end is power."

"...As for the political power in Daying, I'm basically hopeless," Murong Jin glanced at Yue Liuyun. "First there was Nangong Mingzhu, then Nangong Qianshang, Song Zhiyi wasn't easy to deal with either, and now there's you."

"What's more, Ye Zhaoxi is also messing with the situation. If I get involved, I will only end up losing more than I gain. Instead of doing that, it's better to cut the losses directly and maximize the benefits I can get."

"In that case, I might as well..." Murong Jin's eyes were blazing as he turned over his slender white fingers, "...eliminate the pests and cancer...and take full control of Chiyu's political power."

After she said that, Yue Liuyun felt a little curious.

The tent curtains moved in the wind.

Yue Liuyun asked:

"Power... is it really so tempting?"

Murong Jin's eyes moved slightly, as if he was lost in a long memory. He rubbed his brows and said calmly:

"...You probably don't know, but I actually hate Chi Yu."
