This villain has become a ghost

Hello, my friend:

...I am Ruozhi.

It’s also your “Xiao Xia”.

Come to think of it, the first time I saw you... was probably that day in Shangxian Palace.

You were assassinated, and I rescued you.

Shuang'er and I have been childhood sweethearts, how could I not see... that you are not her.

Shuang'er can't make muskets, can't compile teaching materials, doesn't understand those knowledge, and can't come up with strange ideas for fun... and, she actually knows martial arts.

The most important thing is that she has never looked me in the eye.

Because...she hates me.

At first, I didn't know why she hated me so much.

It was not until my father was dying that he told me the truth.

...Back then, the Qiu Mansion was raided because the late emperor found evidence of his corruption.

Everyone says that the Qiu and Xia families are good friends.

But few people know that this evidence... was actually put on the Qiu family by my father in order to protect the Xia family.

The crime of corruption will result in confiscation of property and exile, but the crime of being implicated is much lighter in comparison.

My father felt guilty about this incident and fell ill not long after. He died with hatred in his heart.

That’s when I knew…

I should use my whole life to protect her, to repay her, and to atone for my sins.

That night, I deliberately brought up my childhood memories of releasing river lanterns to test you and see how you would react.

Sure enough, you did what I said.

But in fact……

Shuang'er and I have never released river lanterns together.

Therefore, I am even more convinced that you and Shuang'er are two completely different people.

I have never believed in supernatural powers or ghosts, but I cannot use common sense to explain why you turned into Frost.

I pretended to be by your side like before, trying to find the truth and bring the real Shuang'er back...

But I didn't expect that you would risk your own life to block the hidden weapon for me that night.

To be honest, this is the first time in all these years that someone has been so nice to me, and it’s also the first time that someone is willing to risk their life to save me.

Ever since the Qiu Mansion was ransacked and the Xia Mansion declined, I seem to have been walking alone, carrying the burden of the entire Xia Mansion by myself, and working hard to become the well-known General Qi Sha.

Since then, as we get to know each other better day by day, I have gradually begun to understand what kind of person you are.

You love to laugh, and a little fun can keep you happy for hours. You are kind and compassionate towards the weak. You are timid, afraid of the dark, insects, ghosts, and rats. You are very capable, able to craft incredibly powerful firearms. You are very intelligent, able to compile teaching materials and set exam questions, and you also possess a wealth of useful knowledge...

You are an innocent and naive good person.

Even though I don't know why you became Shuang'er, I can be sure that this matter has nothing to do with you and you have no intention of hurting anyone.

Ever since returning from the peace banquet, you've been sullen and even fainted. You were lying in Shangxian Palace in a nightmare, muttering over and over again...

You killed people, killed many people, and you were terrified. You wanted to complete your mission and get away from this world. You wanted to go home, back to your own home...

I just realized that... you don't belong to this world.

Once you complete your mission, you'll leave.

By then, the real Frost should come back.

I don’t know what I felt at that time, I just remember that it was very complicated and uncomfortable.

My conscience and morality tell me that I want the real Shuang'er to come back, but emotionally... I don't actually want you to leave.

I seem to be a little reluctant to leave you.

only……

Everything will eventually get back on track.

After all, you want to go home, you don't like this world, and Shuang'er has to return to her original body.

but me……

I'm just a passer-by in your life.

You'll probably forget me soon.

You once told me that people born into this world should live for themselves.

I thought about it carefully. In my life, I have lived to atone for my sins, to protect Shuang'er, and to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Xia family... But I seem to have forgotten that I can also live for myself.

I used all my military merits in exchange for Shuang'er's future freedom, as my final atonement to her.

I think, by then, you should also leave here, return to your own world, return to your own home...

If you see this letter before you leave, it only means that I don’t want to say goodbye to you.

Because... I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself and want to keep you here.

Then……

I should be able to be my Seven Killing Generals fearlessly, without any burden, and freely.

Just one last thing, could you please promise me one thing?

Don't forget me.

Don't forget... In this world, there is a person named Xia Ruzhi.

He is your "Xiao Xia". 】

-

Dongdu.

From the foot of Duanheng Mountain to the tomb, a dense and black army was approaching this side, like a giant black dragon or a black cloud covering the sun.

Ye Zhaoxi had been acting with Nangong Qianshang in order to delay time, and only when his own army arrived did he finally show his affection.

Nangong Qianshang ordered:

"General Song, please allocate half of your troops to cover the officials and allow them to leave first!"

...Except those who are Ye Zhaoxi's followers.

Nangong Qianshang believed... Ye Zhaoxi would not care about the life or death of these people.

Of course, he doesn't care either.

Anyone who betrays him is his enemy and he will never forgive him.

Song Haotian: “?”

Is this the plan you discussed?

Let the one with the highest combat power leave first?

And then only half of the troops and him were left here to die?

"What about you, Your Highness?" Song Haotian asked in a deep voice.

Nangong Qianshang: "Don't worry about it."

Song Haotian gritted his teeth and said, "...Okay!"

At this time, just listen, what else can you do?

Seeing that they were about to escape, Ye Zhaoxi immediately sent people to chase them.

...Today, none of them can escape.

All must die.

Nangong Qianshang brought another group of people to block their way.

"Bang bang bang-"

There were several rock wall passages of neither wide nor narrow on all four sides of the tomb. Song Haotian protected the ministers and walked in one of the directions.

The terrain was steep and numerous gunshots suddenly rang out from the darkness, blocking their path of pursuit.

"Retreat first!"

Looking at the huge army, Nangong Qianshang decisively led the remaining troops towards the canyon, which also led to the foot of the mountain.

Ye Zhaoxi didn't catch up for a while.

...Shen Yue and Su Shaoran, the two sixth brothers, arrived first.

Nangong Qianshang aimed at several cavalrymen who were chasing him, killed them and took their horses, saying speechlessly:

"Didn't I let you go first?"

Shen Yue rode up to him and said gently:

"I'm afraid that if the Regent dies, there will be no one to collect your body, and no one will be the leading actor for me anymore."

Nangong Qianshang: “…”

Nangong Qianshang: "...Taifu actually has the nerve to bring this up. This prince admires you."
