Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Such a highly skilled team, trained for ten years, can be given away or eliminated at will.

She's incredibly wealthy!

Is it...

"How can this be!"

They both spoke at the same time.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, do you think they are untrustworthy?" Huo Jingya asked, puzzled.

Qi Bai and Ling Zhou were personally introduced to her by Hua Buyan; he must have trusted them to give them to her.

Huo Jingya was a little nervous; Xiao Yanzi would never lie to her.

"Not them."

Sang Ning felt a chill run down her spine.

If it's the Grand Princess, has she gone mad?

She was a guardian of the royal family, and was supposed to protect her people and solidify the foundation, but instead... she ate the flesh and blood of her people?

“That’s not impossible, after all…” Pei Ming’an’s lips curled into a sneer.

"Other members of the royal family are scrambling to exploit the people, and the Yan royal family is rotten to the core."

If she doesn't try to take it, will she let someone else have it?

Madam, we need to prepare early.

If it were her, she would definitely act before the Lord returns.

However, if their guesses were correct, the Grand Princess had secretly raised an army of 400,000, plus nearly 200,000 guards in the imperial city, and other generals she had recruited. What chance did they have of winning?

Now, the only thing we can do is to notify the Northwest Army and the Northern Frontier to come to our aid as soon as possible.

If there's not enough time, the only option is to capture the leader first.

Pei Ming'an looked solemn and pondered for a long while, staring out of the tent.

Until Huo Jingya interrupted him.

Who are you talking about?

“Your young master’s grandmother is the Grand Princess Yan Zhinan.”

Pei Ming'an even had the mood to tease Huo Jingya.

Then he looked at Sang Ning.

Ok?

Where is the mistress?

Sang Ning had already fallen asleep and was helped to bed by Yu Cui.

"Strategist, you've been standing for too long. My fourth sister-in-law is tired."

Have I been standing here for a long time?

"I was so bored that I yawned several times."

Pei Ming'an was a little confused from the heat. He didn't know how long he had been standing there, but he was covered in sweat.

In short, the mistress is resting; he was too rude and should leave quickly.

……

Sang Ning and the others discovered it too late; the Grand Princess hadn't given them time to prepare.

The grain supplies were running out, but the grain transport team was nowhere to be seen.

Those who went out to scout returned and reported that Long'an City and Sifang City behind them had been closed and passage was prohibited.

When the attack came, the generals of these two cities surrendered voluntarily. Now that they have turned against their side, it can only mean that their suspicions have been confirmed.

The owner of the Buddhist temple was none other than the Grand Princess Yan Zhinan.

She's about to take action.

Sure enough, late that night.

An attack was launched on the capital.

Three hundred thousand troops—this was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

The Huo family army is very strong; with 200,000 against 300,000, they have a great chance of victory.

The premise is that they have enough food, fodder, and fuel for their battles; they want to... finish this quickly!

The brutal war has begun again...

……

Southern Xinjiang, thousands of miles away.

The same situation is playing out.

However, that's just the beginning, while this is nearing its end.

Bei Gongjun and Shen Ye's forces attacked from both sides.

Lacking weapons and without reinforcements, Hongkang fled in panic into the endless mountains.

Bei Gongyao controlled the remnants of the army, while Shen Ye relentlessly pursued them, determined to capture Hong Kang.

Until Hongkang was driven to the edge of a cliff, with no way out.

"Shen Ye! Do you know where this is?" Hong Kang knew he couldn't escape death today, so he wouldn't let Shen Ye get away with it.

"This is where your wife was buried!"

"As expected, it's you."

"Yes, it was me! It was my men who did it. If I don't drive you away, how can I subdue Bashu!"

I also want to thank you for killing those troublemakers, hahaha...

Shen Ye, losing your wife and children must be a painful experience, right? My beloved concubine also died along with her unborn child back then!

This is what your Shen family and Huo Zhennan owe me!

"What does your woman's death have to do with my Shen family and the Huo family!"

Shen Ye looked at the cliff shrouded in mist.

My eyes are sore.

Yi'er, wait a little longer, your husband will take you home.

He suddenly swung a rope and put it around Hong Kang's neck.

"Stay away from the cliff, don't dirty that place."

He dragged Hongkang over like a dog.

"Shen... Shen Ye... You owe me, Huo Qiuye. Instead of saving my beloved concubine, you went to save your mother, that old hag. Both of your families deserve to die... to be buried with me and my beloved concubine."

This guy is fucking insane!

"That's quite touching. Well then, Grandpa will send you to see your beloved concubine. Don't keep her waiting too long. When you get to the underworld, don't forget to tell her that you found her dozens of sisters because you were afraid you would forget her in the mortal world."

Shen Ye exerted force with his hands, watching Hong Kang's eyes bulge out, and kicked his legs with all his might.

Just as I was about to pass away, I felt a numbness in my neck.

He reached out and grabbed, but only managed to catch the insect's tail.

The woman in black who appeared in front of him suddenly snatched Hongkang away.

That witch doctor!

He's here just in time; he'll take care of it all!

But in a moment of confusion, Shen Ye could no longer stand up.

"Your Highness, you told me that the person has been found, but where is he?"

Song Chan's eyes were sinister as she held onto Hong Kang tightly.

"Protect me and get me out of the southern border first, and I will tell you!"

"Your Highness, do you still think you're the king with thousands of soldiers?" Song Chan looked down on the disheveled and aged Hong Kang.

A worm crawled up her hand and into Hongkang's nostril.

"You...uh..."

"What about people?"

Hong Kang's eyes were vacant, his consciousness had been manipulated, his tone was stiff, and he answered every question.

"do not know."

Song Chan snapped sharply, "How could you not know! Didn't you say you found it?"

"No, we've never sent anyone to look for us."

"You! You lied to me! Ah—"

The sharp, terrifying cries echoed through the mountains, like ghosts roaming the earth.

"Hongkang...you deserve to die!!!"

After a long, long time, Shen Ye heard a gentle but hesitant voice calling out.

"Husband?"

"Ah Ye?"

"Aye."

From hesitation to determination.

……

He heard Yi'er's voice.

he died.

Yi'er came to pick him up.

It looks like it's raining.

Rainwater is salty.

But besides Yi'er's voice, there were many other random noises.

"Shen Ye, get up! Stop pretending to be dead!"

"Ninth Aunt, wasn't the Gu removed? Why isn't he awake yet?"

"Dad, Dad... Oh, oh, oh, two dads!"

Shut up, all of you! Shut up! It's so annoying!

He can't hear Yi'er's voice anymore!

But the rain got heavier and heavier.

“I remember everything, Ah Ye.”

"I'm sorry, I forgot about you for so long."

"Ah Ye, get up quickly, don't be lazy."

His lips pressed against something soft and fragrant.

That's Yi'er's taste.

The man suddenly opened his eyes.
