After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

"I'll wake you up in the middle of the night, or you can stay asleep."

"You're lying, when did you ever wake me up?" She was too embarrassed to hold a grudge since she always slept until dawn.

Most importantly, she slept too soundly, which is completely contrary to the instinct of people to be easily awakened in unfamiliar environments.

"I'm not tired," Wang Qingyan said, and then tried to pull her over to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Baili Ce jumped back and stood directly in the rain, saying, "Then none of us should sleep."

"Don't get wet in the rain," Wang Qingyan said, pulling her aside.

Bai Li Ce ran even further, saying, "You go to sleep first."

He had been keeping watch for several nights in a row, and he didn't seem to rest much during the day, yet he was full of energy the whole way. What normal person is like that?

Even the donkeys in the production team don't work as hard as him.

If things continue like this, Baili Ce is really afraid that something bad will happen.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse her, Wang Qingyan had no choice but to agree.

That's perfect, he really does need a rest.

"But you must wake me up in the middle of the night, don't force yourself to stay awake."

"Don't worry, I'm not like you."

After waiting a while longer, seeing that Wang Qingyan had indeed lain down, Baili Ce came in from the rain.

I found a spot that wasn't too wet and sat down using my dirty clothes as a cushion.

Bored, he rummaged through his purse and poked the straw mat above his head to see if any small insects or anything would fall down.

Finally, he looked around and shrank back a little further to avoid the raindrops drifting in.

She slowly hugged herself, rested her head on her knees, and unconsciously turned her gaze behind her.

Wang Qingyan gradually fell asleep, his breathing becoming more even.

The person looks more real now.

Judging from all the signs, it was impossible for him not to know that it was a cursed stone.

For the past two weeks, he has been intentionally keeping her in Lincheng.

He probably knew most of what had happened to Lin Yuchuan.

Even Shucheng's current state is probably related to him.

Wang Qingyan was indeed very good to her, provided that she did not go against his wishes.

If anything displeases him, he will do everything in his power to make others listen to him.

Just now...

Take a deep breath and turn your head back.

The great man was right; the sugar coating is just the surface, the real bullet is the shell.

"Drip..." A drop of rainwater leaked down from above.

Bai Li Ce wiped his face, quickly got up, and gently adjusted the position of the straw mat, then laid a few more bamboo shoot sheaths on it.

Everything was settled, and I put on another piece of clothing.

Seeing that Wang Qingyan was sleeping soundly, he also decided to take a nap.

I had only been dozing off for a short while when I suddenly felt the urge to urinate.

I originally wanted to hold it in.

And it seems like he can't hold it in any longer.

I had no choice but to find a place to relieve myself in the dark.

When I sneaked back, I happened to hear a woman wailing from the direction of the city gate.

"Please, gentlemen, have mercy."

"Please, please let me go, please let me go..."

"..."

Bai Li Ce quickly crouched down and hid in the bushes, instinctively drawing the dagger from his waist.

If there aren't many people, it should be possible—

"Haha, let's go!"

"Yes Yes Yes!!"

"My husband, please don't leave me!"

"Go away!"

"Where would I get that much money!"

As the firelight shone through the city gate, a dozen soldiers dragged some women out of the city and threw them onto the open ground in front of the gate.

What they're planning to do is obvious.

There were many figures around them, who seemed to be their family members.

But they all turned sideways and covered their faces with their sleeves as they left.

One, two, three...

Their families lined up obsequiously to pay the money, and some even looked at the women who were being held down and manipulated with disgust.

It seems they really are shameless and despicable.

Looking up slightly, I could see that there were still quite a few soldiers watching the excitement from the city wall.

No, there are too many people, and the distance is too far.

If there are only one or two, she can still give it a shot.

In this situation, her going there would be like giving it away for free.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a woman grabbed a stone from the ground and fought back.

The other women huddled together in fear, screaming in terror.

Some bravely stepped forward to help, but because they were too weak, they were kicked to the ground and punched and kicked.

On the contrary, the first woman to resist had her family running away as fast as they could, cursing her as a jinx.

But how could she possibly defeat a group of men armed with weapons?

They were subdued in no time.

"..." Bai Li Ce covered his ears, refusing to listen to the sounds.

"You want to save them?" Wang Qingyan asked, having woken up at some unknown time.

"I can't save her," she has always been self-aware.

This is also the crucial moment for bringing things to a close.

It was already extremely difficult for Wang Qingyan to let her come to Shucheng; we can't afford to cause any more trouble.

"If you want, I can go."

Bai Li Ce looked at Wang Qing Yan with mixed feelings.

But she still said, "You shouldn't go."

Being generous with other people's money is secondary.

With so many officers and soldiers present, if their identities were exposed, none of them would escape unscathed.

"I'm only asking you, do you want to save them?"

Bai Li Ce, his eyes red, paused, then hugged himself. "The city walls are full of archers. Without an inside help, once we engage..."

"..." Then she fell into Wang Qingyan's arms.

—What does it matter whether the truth is revealed or not?

I will fulfill all your wishes.

He carried her to the warm hay where he used to sleep and laid her down.

Wang Qingyan walked straight toward the city gate.

"You bastard! Let me go if you dare! *slap*" Even though the woman who was resisting was no match for him, she was still struggling desperately.

"Ah! My eyes!"

"You bitch, how dare you hit me..." One of the soldiers was about to slap the girl across the face again, but was kicked away.

“Squeak!”

Amidst the flying blood and flesh, Wang Qingyan appeared as if a demon had descended.

He grabbed the clothes from the ground and threw them on the girl, then pointed in the direction of Baili Ce, saying, "My wife is over there. Please go and look after her."

"Thank you, thank you, young master..." The woman hurriedly put on her clothes and scrambled towards the direction Wang Qingyan pointed.

The other women also scrambled to their feet, trembling, and quickly followed.

"You! Who are you?!"

Seeing half of their comrades die in an instant, the remaining soldiers, holding their halberds, trembled as they aimed at Wang Qingyan.

"Heh," the latter demon chuckled, spun around, and swept his way, taking their lives in the blink of an eye.

"What?!" The archers on the city wall immediately drew their bows and shot arrows, but every arrow missed its mark.

Shining the torch, they couldn't see a single person!

"Ah—" But the next moment, he was thrown off the city wall by Wang Qingyan.

What followed was a one-sided massacre, and a brief cry for help that was drowned out by the heavy rain.
