He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

A sharp gaze shot towards An Wuyang from among the rebels below, the eyes filled with inquiry, but even more so with amusement.

An Wuyang met his gaze and instantly felt her whole body turn icy cold.

"You're such a cunning woman! If you don't dare to come, then you don't dare to come. Stop wasting time!"

"Watch as I kill this child right here and now..."

The person knocking on the door suddenly shouted, pulling An Wuyang back to reality. He saw the person raise the blade in his hand and grab Li En.

"I've heard he's your child?"

"Today I'll start with your child!"

After saying that, he used the blade to gesture across Rean's face.

Rean was grabbed by the collar and was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder, and a foul smell mixed with a few drops of water flowed onto the ground.

"Bah, you cowardly coward, just like your mother!"

Rean dared not speak, and even his sobs were suppressed to the point of being almost inaudible.

"Mother... Waaaaah... Save me!"

Rean stared longingly at An Wuyang on the high platform, his heart filled with both anxiety and resentment.

It's all my mother's fault. If my mother weren't her, I wouldn't have been the first one to be operated on.

Now, all that remains for Rean is hatred towards An Wuyang!

An Wuyang watched this scene quietly, feeling a slight pang in her heart—a mother's instinct.

But now that she has figured out Rean's character, she is not flustered even though she feels sorry for him.

"I never said I wouldn't go on!"

"I only asked you to send someone to the door. If you refuse, it means that the Chishui Army is now a fickle bunch!"

"Since you have no credibility whatsoever, I suppose even if I go down there, these children will not come back alive!"

An Wuyang paused here, clearly giving them time to consider.

But the implication was that if they didn't agree, An Wuyang really wouldn't go down!

The man who knocked on the door cursed, "If you ask me, we should just charge in and massacre the city! I don't know what the people behind us are thinking, insisting on having this bitch!"

Despite his anger, he still ordered someone to ask for opinions from those behind him.

Just then, the person An Wuyang had chosen slowly stepped forward.

This person was tall and wore a black conical hat with a black veil covering it.

Although his attire was inconspicuous among the rebels, this man possessed an extraordinary bearing and exuded an aura of decisive ruthlessness.

Even in the crowd, An Wuyang spotted him at a glance!

This person caused An Wuyang considerable torment in his previous life, and even now that he has been reborn, An Wuyang cannot ignore him.

He stood still in front of the child, looked up at An Wuyang, and said, "I agree to your request!"

His voice was cold and had an imposing, authoritative quality.

He actually agreed!

Having achieved his goal, An Wuyang didn't hesitate. He gripped his musket tightly and said coldly, "Fine! I'll get off the city wall now!"

As An Wuyang walked down the high wall step by step, the people of Ning County automatically made way for him, and no one spoke.

No one can truly feel at ease trading their life for the lives of those children.

An Wuyang didn't mind. If she couldn't understand people's hearts after being reborn, then she would have lived a wasted life.

All she wants in this life is a clear conscience.

"Madam An..."

Wen Jingnian looked worried and tried to pull An Wuyang back.

An Wuyang laughed heartily: "City Lord, please order the city gates to be opened!"

Wen Jingnian hesitated for a moment: "I'll go with you!"

"No need, the city lord's task tonight is to defend the city!"

An Wuyang's eyes shone with a resolute light, as dazzling as stars.

Wen Jingnian knew that tonight was not the time to act impulsively, and he should forcibly suppress the turmoil in his heart.

He stared at An Wuyang silently, feeling that something had changed.

The little girl he vowed to protect when he was young is now capable of standing on her own.

However, Wen Jingnian still couldn't bear to do it.

“Then An Wuyang said, ‘Lord Wen, rest assured, we have made thorough preparations!’”

Knowing he couldn't stop An Wuyang, Wen Jingnian looked at Yan Juzhi.

However, Yan Juzhi kept a close eye on An Wuyang's actions without making any attempt to stop him.

Therefore, Wen Jingnian had no choice but to open the city gate and let An Wuyang out, as she had requested!

"Open the city gate!"

At the command, Wen Jingnian seemed unable to find his own voice.

The moment the city gates swung open, a horde of calamities swept across the land, casting a dim, yellowish light over the area below Ning County.

The people of Ning County watched An Wuyang's frail figure in silence.

She was like a savior, single-handedly blocking a massive army.

An ordinary woman dared to go to the enemy camp alone. Tonight, the people of Ning County will remember the name An Wuyang.

“I’m out now. I hope you will keep your promise and release the children from Ning County.”

After An Wuyang left the city, he confronted the man in black.

An immense pressure enveloped An Wuyang, causing her to tremble inexplicably.

"Fine! Release them!"

At the command of the man in black, the ropes binding the children were untied, and they ran frantically toward the city gate as if they had gone mad.

The next instant, with a "whoosh," countless arrows shot towards the children from the chaos of battle.

The remnants of the Python King's faction have indeed broken their promise!

An Wuyang picked up the musket and aimed it at the black man's head.

"you wanna die!"
