"The main city of Lanxi was handed over to them, and it was said that King Hui agreed to cede it, and sat back and waited for the imperial court to issue an order to send troops, or," Yue Tang smiled, "If the imperial court accepts the ceding like this, then let it go." ”

"Only one city of the six cities was cut, and the plague was dispersed, and the civil strife was pacified—when I returned to Beijing, I was added to the rank of knight and received a reward." Yue Tang smiled a little deliberately, "How about it, killing three birds with one stone, isn't it wonderful?" ”

Xue Huai's always gentle and calm eyebrows and complexion could no longer be restrained, and his voice was already fierce: "What about the people in the city? What about the soldiers? Where's your lieutenant, Hong Ding? What about His Royal Highness King Hui? The people of Beiting were personally introduced by you, and it will be even more difficult to drive them out - does it matter? ”

Yue Tang laughed: "Didn't the master say that there is only one world in the world, and all beings are equal?" So what does it matter who owns this city? As for the others, there will be dead and wounded in battle, I don't need to say that. ”

Xue Huai's voice was even deeper: "How can your life be used as a bait and a tool to turn the clouds and rain in the struggle for power?" If you are in charge of the life and death of others, you should be cautious! ”

Yue Tang didn't answer, but said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the master for drawing the pattern of King Hui's seal letter for me, and it is really vivid and not bad at all." Anyone who has never seen it with his own eyes but has only heard about it will believe it. She patted Xue Huai's shoulder, "Does the master want to be the abbot of the Pure Sky Temple or something?" It's not a difficult thing for me to play for you. ”

Xue Huai stepped back, away from her patting hand on the shoulder.

Her hand paused slightly in the air in embarrassment and then put it down, looking at him with a little sneer: "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Huai stared into her eyes and asked, "Did you make this plan with the people of Beiting when you were waiting for me in the cave?" ”

She avoided his gaze and smiled, "Or do you think I'm really waiting for you?" ”

She didn't look at his expression, but she could feel his gaze fixed on her face, causing a faint bitterness on the side of her cheek that was being stared at.

She hates bitterness the most.

She lifted the curtain and walked out, leaving behind a word: "I am no different from those flies and dogs. Master, you'd better remember that. ”

The curtain fell to the ground, cutting off his gaze.

But she still seemed to feel the gaze on her back, and it hurt her spine.

So she walked faster, enduring the pain of the wound, thinking that if she walked farther away, she would not feel any pain.

She is willing to suffer rather than suffering.

By noon, the screams and killings in the city had disappeared, and the smell of blood was pervasive, making people obscure the scene behind the city gates. Xue Huai watched the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield walk out and walk in, all of them covered their mouths and noses, and were slightly surprised, and at this time, the soldiers who had taken medicine for him stopped him and handed him the face towel that covered his mouth and nose, and said, "You can wear it too, these are all soaked in medicinal juice." ”

Xue Huai was a little puzzled: "Is there an epidemic in the city?" ”

It stands to reason that it wasn't so fast? Besides, haven't you been fighting? Did someone take advantage of the opportunity to poison them?

Soldier: "It hasn't been sent yet, but it may be sent soon, and there are too many corpses to burn for a while and a half, so you can wear them just in case." ”

Xue Huai took the face towel and thanked him, asking, "Why did the epidemic break out?" Do you know who poisoned? ”

The soldier smiled embarrassedly: "We did it, our blades were poisonous, and we assassinated the Beiting army, and most of them died in the city." This poison is happening so fast! ”

Xue Huai was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and when the soldier saw his face, he hurriedly explained, "Don't you know? This is all the general's clever calculation! Our blades were quenched with poison, which the quartermaster had ordered us to apply before the war, and at that time it was only said that it was smeared with a medicine that could cause instant numbness, and we did not know that it was a venom that could cause epidemics. Hey, I didn't find it particularly useful when I got the general's letter and began to quietly assassinate the Beiting Army, and I fainted not long after the stab, and the casualties on our side were not too large. ”

Xue Huai's eyes were even more shocked: "She...... General Yue's overall plan, please tell me about it. ”
