Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Although it is said that one life can be exchanged for another, anyone who does this will incur negative karma.

However, Chu Xiaohe was the commander-in-chief of the Chu family army, and his life was indeed important on the battlefield.

If we could find someone suffering from a terminal illness who doesn't have much time left to live, and who would be willing to use the Gu poison to lure Chu Xiaohe, that would be a last resort.

“If Xiao He knew that his life was bought with someone else’s life, he would be uneasy for the rest of his life, he would suffer for the rest of his life.”

Miao Yucui took the letter, bowed her head on the desk, and sighed heavily.

"Besides, everyone who comes here is a strong and healthy man; none of them are terminally ill."

Huo Qing understood this, of course, so she never considered using this method.

But what if he and Ali really can't find the person who cast the curse?

"In the end, it's the only way we can do it. If we can't find it... we won't force it." We can't force a perfectly healthy person to exchange their life for Chu Xiaohe's.

Although if word got out, countless brothers would be willing to give their lives for Xiao He, but... I can't bear to do it!

"Who?" Huo Qing's face suddenly darkened as she stared at the tent flap.

"Third Aunt, it's me. Brother Chu has vomited blood again. I...I'm so worried..."

Outside, Tuoba Liuli's hoarse voice could be heard.

Huo Qing quickly walked out, looked at her pale face, and comforted her, "It's okay, it's just that you didn't spit out all the blood clots from earlier. You'll be fine, don't scare yourself."

"Are you really alright?" Huo Qing said she was fine, and Tuoba Liuli was relieved: "Then... I'll go back and take care of Brother Chu."

Huo Qing glanced at Miao Yucui, who quickly followed after her and comforted her, "It's alright, trust your third aunt, she will definitely be able to bring back the person who cast the curse."

Tuoba Liuli nodded, said nothing more, and left.

Huo Qing walked up from behind and watched Tuoba Liuli enter Chu Xiaohe's tent. For some reason, she felt a vague unease.

"While I'm away, sister... please keep an eye on these little ones."

"Are you worried she might do something foolish?" Actually, Miao Yucui was worried too.

I originally thought that the marriage between Li'er and Xiao He was just a marriage alliance between two countries, and that there would probably not be any deep feelings between them.

But in the past two days, after seeing the way Tuoba Liuli looked at Chu Xiaohe after she arrived, Miao Yucui, a middle-aged woman who had been married and had a lover, could tell at a glance that this little girl, Li'er, really cared about their Xiaohe.

"Don't worry, even if she wanted to, it wouldn't matter. She doesn't know how to use poison."

Miao Yucui gave her a reassuring smile: "Just focus on your work, Lei Xiao will be with you."

"Didn't he just recover from his injury?" Healing from an injury doesn't mean a person is completely healed; they still need to recuperate.

Going with her at this time would be too dangerous.

"He was the commander who escorted Xiao He back. He has already traveled that route and is now more familiar with the situation there than anyone else."

Even with a topographical map, Huo Qing might not be able to find many places.

Miao Yucui explained, "That topographic map was in case something unexpected happened after you went in, causing you to get separated. Having the map would give you peace of mind. But he still felt that it would be safer for him to personally lead you in."

Moreover, the eighteen riders are still searching for King Mo. How can Lei Xiao stay in the military camp to recuperate without worry?
