This villain has become a ghost

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

Yue Liuyun looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.

Murong Jin's eyes were dark as he said:

"In your Daying, even though women's status is not as high as men's, they can still enjoy basic human rights."

"In Chiyu, women's status is no different from that of cattle and sheep. In fact, they are even lower than cattle and sheep..."

"My mother was the 57th concubine of the Red Plover King. As a princess, I wasn't much better off. I was practically treated as a plaything and was passed around from tribe to tribe."

"Your Excellency should be able to imagine how much effort I have put in and how much suffering I have endured, just to be able to reach the heights that those men can achieve effortlessly with just one move..."

"I, the daughter of the Red Plover King, am still like this, let alone other women who are like livestock."

Murong Jin easily suppressed his disgust:

"I cannot help but feel disgusted when I see those foolish and self-righteous men who hold the highest power yet act like idiots."

"I am ten thousand times stronger than those men. Why can't I reach the top?"

Ambition finally emerged on her delicate and beautiful face, and her eyes flashed like fire:

“And once you have power and know what it feels like, you’ll do everything in your power to move up.”

"Only power... can give me everything I want."

Yue Liuyun also had some understanding of Chi Yu's system, which was similar to what Murong Jin said.

If she wasn't an enemy, Yue Liuyun really wanted to applaud her.

...In this situation, being able to break out and stand at the pinnacle of power, and still be able to firmly grasp what you want, is like taking root and sprouting in the dry ruins, and surviving from a desperate situation.

How difficult, yet how wonderful.

You have to be more cautious when discussing with her.

The sun set in the west, and the tent grew darker. Yue Liuyun stood up and lit the lamp. The dim light, along with the faint light outside, illuminated the faces of the two men.

"Since Your Highness has come and is willing to put your life in my hands..."

"...I can sense your highness's sincerity."

"Your Highness, if you need me to do anything, please feel free to ask."

After saying that, Yue Liuyun returned to his original seat and sat down, looking at Murong Jin.

Murong Jin sat closer to her, the bell on his ankle rang crisply, as if narrating a very ordinary little thing, and said:

"This battle must end as soon as possible. I must return to Chiyu and eliminate the remaining termites one by one."

"Right now, I am leading my troops to fight General Chang Geng in Wuzhou, and General Huqi is leading his troops to fight General Qi Sha in Xuanzhou..."

"General Huqi's troops and combat capabilities are far superior to mine."

"If you are willing to trust me, I am willing to lead my troops out of Wuzhou and join forces with General Qisha to wipe out General Huqi's forces."

"Afterwards... I will lead the remaining soldiers back to Chiyu and promise not to attack again."

Yue Liuyun spoke calmly and with a smile:

"...The conditions offered by Your Highness are indeed very tempting. I can also believe that Your Highness truly wants to get rid of General Huqi."

"But how can Your Highness guarantee that you will withdraw your troops after killing General Huqi?"

Murong Jin said sincerely:

"My Lord... The poison in my body has not yet been cured. I will not joke with my life."

Yue Liuyun said thoughtfully:

"Your Highness, there is some truth in what you said."

She turned her head and met Murong Jin's eyes. Murong Jin had become very close to her without her knowing. Yue Liuyun could clearly see the shadow under her long eyelashes.

At this moment, a gust of evening breeze blew, and a corner of the tent curtain was lifted.

The situation between Chu Shiqing and the deputy general was originally tense, but after they unconsciously glanced inside the tent, they froze in place.

These two people may have no idea about borrowing positions, so from this perspective, Yue Liuyun and Murong Jin are no different from being close together.

It's more than ambiguous, it's simply...

...is immoral.

It goes against the principles of nature and morality!

Chu Shiqing and the deputy general were petrified.

Oh my god, I never thought... it would be... like this...

These two people actually have that kind of relationship!

Why fight this war? What's the point of fighting?

Yue Liuyun and Murong Jin in the tent had no idea what the two people outside were thinking about.

Yue Liuyun said calmly:

"Your Highness knows that I am very suspicious, so I will not give you the antidote until the matter is resolved."

"This drug will take effect within two months. By then, I will send someone to deliver the antidote."

"Okay..." Murong Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a meaningful smile. He said, "...I heard Feng Ning is in Wuzhou, so let him come and deliver the antidote to me!"

"Long time no see, I miss him quite a bit."

"Where are the others? Are they not here?"

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Yue Liuyun: "Guard Feng was so excited when he heard that His Highness was coming that he unfortunately... fell ill."

However, in reality, Feng Ning was so frightened as if he heard a ghost coming that he hid in Wuzhou City and dared not come out.

Murong Jin nodded:

"That's it..."

"Then I'll trouble you to take good care of Feng Ning."

Yue Liuyun: "...Okay."

Next, the two of them exchanged a few casual pleasantries, as if they were very familiar with each other.

Then, the negotiations finally came to an end.

The setting sun outside was blood-red. Murong Jin mounted his horse and left carefully and cautiously, surrounded by his deputy general and soldiers.

Chu Shiqing watched the enemy leave vigilantly before slowly putting away his sword.

He tried hard to shake off the chaotic scene and tremblingly lifted the curtain.

Seeing Yue Liuyun pick up the scarred knife at some point... he stroked it repeatedly with his fair fingers.

Yue Liuyun looked up at him and said:

“…Not her.”

Chu Shiqing didn't react: "What?"

Yue Liuyun said:

"nothing."

Yue Liuyun originally thought that... those spies in Wuzhou were Murong Jin's men.

But now it seems that it is more likely to be General Huqi.

Chu Shiqing was not stupid either. He realized what she was saying in the next second and confirmed:

"Can you confirm... that it really isn't her?"

In the dim light, the cool summer breeze blew her dress. The girl had a beautiful face, but her eyes were not as innocent as her face.

Yue Liuyun's eyes were deep and he said calmly:

"...If I had been certain it was her, I would not have let her leave here alive."

Poison, muskets, bows and arrows...

There is murderous intent lurking everywhere in this tent.

Yue Liuyun will use this knife to kill her with his own hands without hesitation or mercy.

Chu Shiqing felt a chill on his back and his eyes widened in surprise.

...You two have been sticking together for a long time, but you are still pretending to be nice to each other.

Oh my god, women are so scary.
