Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 102 Execution of the Traitor

Yue Ri City is located at the easternmost point of the entire Eastern Province. It is the place where the sun first rises in the province, hence its name. The only city gate is on the west side. If you go out of the city gate and follow the road westward, you will arrive directly at Xing'an City, the strategic center of the entire Eastern Province.

As they gradually moved away from the city, Qian Xiuyi's back, which had been bent under the weight of being driven away, straightened up little by little. Her original worried expression gradually turned into one of arrogance and conceit, as if she had suddenly changed her face.

To avoid following for too long and attracting Qian Xiuyi's attention, Qian Xiuya and Yu Liu had changed carriages three times, and even overtook Qian Xiuyi once.

Looking at Qian Xiuyi, who had changed her demeanor, Yu Liu had to admit that what Qian Xiuya had told her before was very likely true.

Actually, the matter is not complicated. Qian Xiuyi only told Yu Liu one thing—Qian Xiuyi could no longer be guided onto the right path because the time when Yu Liu knew Qian Xiuyi betrayed the country was fundamentally wrong. It should be said that Qian Xiuyi had already become a traitor a very, very long time ago, when the invading army first appeared in Dong Province.

The invading army first entered Dong Province about 7 or 8 years ago. At that time, this well-equipped army was simply curious about the region of Dong Province. Later, after seeing how vast and rich Dong Province was, they finally developed evil intentions. The invading army's homeland was an island nation surrounded by the sea. Apart from seafood, it lacked almost everything. Therefore, they made no attempt to hide their covetousness for a place like Dong Province.

Their numbers were small, and apart from being well-equipped, they had virtually nothing that could compare to the Eastern Province. To completely occupy the Eastern Province was basically wishful thinking. However, they did not want to give up the Eastern Province, so they began to infiltrate it from that time on. Espionage is the simplest and most effective method. Undermining the enemy from within has always been a brilliant tactic, even though it sounds rather unpleasant to say.

The reason why Qian Xiuyai knew about Qian Xiuyi's treason was actually quite simple. They were both young and naive at the time. Although their relationship had been strained since then, they didn't have any major conflicts. Their mother treated them equally. At that time, Qian Xiuyi's pride would flare up, and he would feel uncomfortable because his father paid more attention to his brother than to him. He would then quarrel with his brother. But how serious could a child's quarrel be? The two mischievous kids still cared about each other to some extent. At least, after Qian Xiuyi started acting strangely, Qian Xiuyai noticed. The still-young Qian Xiuyi would come home more than half an hour later every day. Occasionally, when he came back, his schoolbag would contain some small odds and ends. When asked about it, he would smile broadly, clearly very happy. Then he started going out more and more often.

Qian Dafa was too indulgent towards Qian Xiuyi, and the mother was worried because of the strained relationship between her two sons. Apart from Qian Xiuya, no one noticed Qian Xiuyi's abnormal behavior during that period.

Of course, this alone doesn't prove anything. Qian Xiuyai wasn't an adult capable of independent thinking back then. His small brain didn't even consider why Qian Xiuyi was doing this. He just felt something was off and then put the matter out of his mind.

The secret of Qian Xiuyi was discovered when he was 14 years old. At that time, the twin brothers had begun to understand things and were already young adults. Their relationship was getting worse and worse. Qian Xiuyi began to unilaterally target Qian Xiuya. After a while, no one could stand being framed by the other. Qian Xiuya finally learned to fight back, but his resistance was never aboveboard.

That was probably the time when he suffered the most injustice. Qian Xiuyi did something outside and injured her arm, fracturing it completely. When she came back, she blamed it on Qian Xiuya. Unaware of the truth, Qian Dafa hit Qian Xiuya for the first time in his life, beating her entire back until it was bruised and bleeding. This shows how angry Qian Dafa was.

On the first night after being beaten, Qian Xiuya developed a high fever due to Qian Dafa's orders and the lack of proper care. In his half-awake state, he seemed to travel through time and space, and time began to slip away rapidly before his eyes. He saw the future.

In the future he saw, when he was 17, the war between Dong Province and the invaders broke out in full force. Qian Xiuyi joined the Qinghe Party and gradually played her part in the war. He himself took over the family business from his father and followed his father's instructions to protect the family property. Originally, everything was peaceful, but a series of secret letters broke the peace.

When Qian Xiuyi went to the battlefield, only her eldest son was left by her side. As a mother, Mu Xiaoqin inevitably focused more on her younger son. She began to worry about his food, clothing, shelter, and safety. When she missed him terribly, she would go to Qian Xiuyi's room alone and stay there for a while. Occasionally, she would be reminded of him by the things she saw and would not be able to resist observing every little thing in her younger son's room.

Then she discovered the secret her youngest son had kept hidden all these years: letters filled with unreadable writing.

Mu Xiaoqin immediately had a bad feeling. She gave the letters to Qian Xiuya, who then found someone to translate them. In the end, they learned that all the letters were sent to Qian Xiuyi by a high-ranking member of the invaders. Most of them contained orders to Qian Xiuyi, along with many divisive words.

They dared not make a fuss, but secretly investigated the matter and discovered that since he was nine years old, some strange people had come into contact with Qian Xiuyi, started to instill strange ideas in him, and tried to brainwash him to make him loyal to the invaders.

The news was too much of a shock. Mu Xiaoqin could hardly believe what she had found out. She took the letters and went to see Qian Xiuyi herself, but never returned. In the same year, Qian Xiuya was also inexplicably caught up in a conflict and was killed by a stray bullet.

The dream has ended.

It was an absurd dream, but it reminded Qian Xiuyi of his erratic behavior years ago. He began to treat the dream as a warning, keeping it from everyone and using all the power he had to try to verify it. In the end, he arrived at the same conclusion as in the dream.

After confirming it many times, Qian Xiuyi could no longer deceive himself. Because of his special status, Qian Xiuyi had long been targeted by some people with ulterior motives. The Qian family was too conspicuous in Yue Ri City. As the second young master who had been left to his own devices, Qian Xiuyi was the easiest to approach, and at that age, he was also the easiest to turn.

With the truth revealed, Qian Xiuyai could not bear to watch his younger brother embark on the path of treason. In order to pull his brother back to the right path, he specially hired someone to pretend to get close to Qian Xiuyi. This person was none other than Kou Huai, who had appeared earlier.

Kou Huai came from a scholarly family and was well-versed in literature. He was elegant in every way he did. In addition, he was a classmate of Qian Xiuyi, so he was the most suitable person to guide her. However, as we have seen, Kou Huai took the initiative to appear by Qian Xiuyi's side for three whole years, but Qian Xiuyi remained the same.

Qian Xiuyai told Yu Liu about this whole series of events. If all of this was true, then Yu Liu really didn't need to bother guiding Qian Xiuyi anymore. He had already betrayed his country and disowned his motherland. What else was there to say?
