Pei Duo gripped the reins tightly, stared at them vigilantly, and held Yue Liuyun tightly behind him with his sword.

child time.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly moved away, hiding the waning moon, and a little moonlight poured down. The summer climate was hot and dry, and the unpleasant smell fermented, making people feel nauseous.

In an instant——

The heavy stone door was flung open, sending dust and gravel flying.

The sharp arrow pierced the night sky and shot straight towards Murong Jin's face!

Murong Jin's pupils constricted.

"Your Highness, be careful!" The confidants beside him raised their weapons to block the arrows that were flying in the air, pulled Murong Jin to a safe place, and the soldiers stood in front of her.

The earth shook and muffled thunder sounded from the distant sky, sweeping in from all directions like a tide, carrying the momentum to swallow up the heaven and earth.

Thousands of cavalrymen in black armor broke through the city gates and rushed out with fluttering flags.

The young man in purple clothes and light silver armor threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, and the blade broke through the thick night like lightning. He rode his horse through the dust and gravel to break through the siege, and the blood on the tip of the blade splattered wantonly.

Yue Liuyun wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, took the opportunity to kill the enemy soldiers blocking the way, opened up a path, and shouted to Pei Duo who was still killing the enemy: "Go."

Turning around, he smiled calmly at Murong Jin.

...Showing weakness appropriately can make the enemy relax their vigilance and think that her minions are weak and have no power to bite flesh and blood.

During the negotiations in the Wuzhou camp, Murong Jin had been trying to gain Yue Liuyun's trust in a weak but sincere manner.

Just because she can use it doesn’t mean Yue Liuyun can’t use it.

Murong Jin had already realized that she had fallen into a trap. She gritted her teeth and watched the girl in white riding her horse upstream. She had no choice but to order: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"

If they don't retreat now, I'm afraid they will be wiped out.

The waning moon is in the sky.

Yue Liuyun coughed up blood again, and the world was spinning.

Pei Duo saw that she was about to fall, and his heart tightened. He quickly put away his sword, jumped off his horse, and reached out to catch her.

However, the silver-purple figure flashed by, and the warhorse neighed after stamping its feet. Yue Liuyun was tightly embraced by Nangong Mingzhu, her cheek resting on the crook of his neck, feeling hot.

Her hands touched the cool silver armor, trying to cool down the burning temperature of her body.

Yue Liuyun pursed his lips a few times, as if saying something.

Nangong Mingzhu's breath was choked. When he leaned closer to listen, he wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with one trembling hand.

Yue Liuyun coughed softly a few times and spoke incoherently, "Don't... don't let Murong Jin escape. She can't... cough cough... return to Chiyu..."

...This was a setup from beginning to end.

As long as Murong Jin sends troops to attack Wuzhou, Yue Liuyun will use all his strength to delay her and try to deplete her troops until Nangong Mingzhu's army comes to support her and wipe out her and the rest of her forces.

General Huqi died and Murong Jin fell into a trap. Now is the best opportunity to attack Chiyu.

Chu Shiqing will lead all the subordinates of Chang Geng and Qi Sha's armies to wipe out all the forces of Chi Yu in one fell swoop.

Everyone thought that she just wanted to stop the Chiyu people from invading, but her plan from the beginning... was to stop this war at its source.

If we let the tiger go back to the mountains, the Chiyu people will recuperate and fight again in the future... and more people will die.

Nangong Mingzhu watched her quietly as she closed her eyes. The heartache and tenderness in her eyes turned into endless murderous intent in that instant.

He stared at the enemy, his knuckles white, the blade gleaming coldly:

"...Okay, I promise you."

-

The drizzle extinguished the summer heat, and there was a rustling sound between heaven and earth.

Wild flowers are blooming all over the mountains, becoming more and more beautiful after being washed by the rain. The dead grass is coming back to life, and the dust in the desert has all returned to the earth.

The crops in the fields were nourished by the rain and sprouted new shoots.

The water in the small pond overflowed, and the lotus flowers and lotus leaves swayed in the wind as they were bathed in the rain.

That night, Wuzhou was attacked by Chiyu's army. Despite being outnumbered, the governor held the city. Later, Your Majesty led troops to reinforce them, finally defeating Chiyu and even capturing the enemy leader Murong Jin.

At this time, the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion was crowded with people, blocking the streets, and oil-paper umbrellas bloomed on the bluestone slabs.

"I heard that the governor finally woke up. Is she feeling better?"

"Wuzhou was able to turn the crisis into safety thanks to you, sir. How is she now?"

"These are eggs from my new chickens. Could you please bring them to the Governor?"

"The crops that the Governor led us to plant have grown. We will have food in the autumn harvest. I will bring it to you then..."

"Go away, these are the new vegetables I planted at home. Let the adults taste them..."

"Hush, all of you keep your voices down. I heard that His Majesty hasn't left Wuzhou yet. Don't disturb His Majesty, or we'll all be beheaded..."

The guards were trying to maintain order urgently. Feng Ning's umbrella was squeezed away at some point and blown into the rain by the wind. She was holding countless fruits and vegetables in her hands and carrying a basket of eggs.

When Qiu Shuangwan saw this scene, she ran over happily and planned to describe it to Yue Liuyun.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Nangong Mingzhu and Bai Yueguang still inside through the crack of the door. He was so scared that he quickly withdrew one foot, and then hid outside the door and peeked stealthily.

...It's not that I'm afraid of Bai Yueguang, but the psychological shadow left by Nangong Mingzhu is too deep.

As soon as she saw him, Qiu Shuangwan felt a chill on her neck, and she was afraid her head would fall off at any moment.

In the past few days, Yue Liuyun has been in a coma with a low fever and can't stop coughing. Nangong Mingzhu has been taking care of him closely and can't be driven away.

...Of course no one dared to chase him away.

At this time, Bai Yueguang's hand was on Yue Liuyun's pulse, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Yue Liuyun covered his lips and coughed softly, his face still very pale. He chuckled and said:

"Tell me what disease it is. I can bear it."

Bai Yueguang's eyes were filled with heaviness, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's...it's tuberculosis."

Yue Liuyun's body stiffened and she fell straight into Nangong Mingzhu's arms.

...It's over. I feel like I can't bear it anymore.

Nangong Mingzhu's face turned pale in an instant, and he stared blankly at the person in his arms.

Yue Liuyun confirmed: "It should be the kind that is not contagious."

Inactive tuberculosis is not contagious. Nangong Mingzhu, Qiu Shuangwan, and Pei Duo had all come into close contact with her over this long period of time, but they were all fine.

Bai Yueguang nodded: "Yes."

Yue Liuyun seemed relieved: "That's good."

"What's good about that..." Bai Yueguang's eyes were red, full of guilt, and her voice was filled with tears. "...My father can cure this disease, but I can't."

"I...why am I...so useless..."

Why...why can I never save the people I want to save...

Yue Liuyun raised his hand and gently touched her head, comforting her: "...What are you talking about? Didn't you cure the plague in Xuanzhou?"
