"Have you figured it out?"

"I never think I need to think about it, maybe it's really going to die, but I really don't want to wait for more than ten years, maybe my decision seems stupid to you, yes, I can always find another opportunity, but I really don't want to wait, sorry...... If you can, visit them for me. ”

The figure of the Night Raven dispersed from his seat, and Zero stared at the empty chair in front of him for a long time without speaking.

"It seems that you can't persuade him, this defeat is a big blow to the night, after all, he has endured under the enemy's command for five years, but in the end he fled in disgrace, and anyone will be unwilling. ”

The gray mist condensed into the shape of a puppet, and the Night Raven's reaction was expected by him, but he didn't expect that even Zero's words could not suppress his revenge.

"Let him go, the night is to live to avenge himself, this is also the promise I gave him at the beginning, but unfortunately I can't help him now, the outcome depends on himself. Zero said calmly.

"Heh, since you're not going to help him, can he have a second choice?" asked the golem rhetorically.

"He made a choice, and he should bear the consequences, we are all the same, there is never a way back. ”

Zero's tone was unusually cold, he didn't seem to care about the fact that Night was going to die, but the puppet was keenly aware of Zero's constant rubbing of the ring on his hand, this mental space also became a little unstable after Night left, he was not an omniscient and all-powerful god after all, no matter how much he suppressed his feelings, his mood would inevitably fluctuate.

"Since you don't care, I won't say more. ”

The puppet didn't continue the topic of the night, he only came here to tell Zero everything that happened these days, that's all, as for the life and death of the night, it was not something he should care about.

Fifty miles away from the North Wind City, in the tent of the Iron Guard's camp, the ice field under the night was even colder, and the three-leaf banner blown by the whistling night wind hunted loudly, as if even the flames could not withstand the cold, and they trembled violently in the wind.

The night crow pulled off the black jade ring hanging around his neck, he stared at the night word on the ring, was silent for a long time, closed his eyes and sighed, his fingers were slightly forced, and the ring was completely crushed, and the crystal powder sprinkled down from his fingers, he smiled with relief, pulled out the long sword on the ground, and walked out of the camp.

At this point, there was no way back for him.

Or that he never needed any way out, it was just an excuse for losers, for him, there was no difference between failure and death, and the only regret he felt was that he probably never had the chance to see them again......

......

At three o'clock in the morning, the city of the north wind was silent, although the incident at the execution ground caused panic among the people, but after all, it was still suppressed, for ordinary people, as long as it does not affect their lives, it doesn't matter what the truth is, it's just a little more after-dinner talk.

The palace minister was glad that she survived, but the queen was bittersweet, some gains and losses, like a nightmare, and now the dream seemed to wake up, everything went back to the past, when she went to the White Spirit Pagoda to see the moon and Ziluo, she couldn't believe her eyes, how did these two children be treated to become like this, thin cheeks sunken, often silent, even if she asked, it was a perfunctory casual response, as if she didn't want to mention this experience at all.

"After lying to you for so long, will you blame me?"

Although she was physically and mentally exhausted, she still couldn't sleep for a long time, in the huge dormitory, only the light next to the bed was still on, the queen sat on the edge of the bed, she looked at the unconscious Ye Bei, and her heart was full of thoughts.

Rose, this is her former name, a beautiful but thorny flower, but the irony is that as long as she is willing to spend money, anyone can share a bed with her, maybe after the age of thirty, old age and decay, she can only go to the nobility or rich merchants to be a servant, although it is hard, but she can always get by, how can she expect someone to marry her.

No matter how beautiful she is, she is always a prostitute, a woman who is willing to sell her body for money, even if she marries a fool, she can't marry a prostitute, most of them have sexually transmitted diseases, can't have children, maybe when she is short of money, while her husband is out, it is not impossible to pick up customers at home.

The lowly status, no one can afford to be a prostitute, only a virgin who is not experienced in the world will believe the sweet words of a man before going to bed, it is just a lie.

This is also the reason why she is reluctant to tell Ye Bei the truth, she is afraid of trial, afraid of death, but she is even more afraid of Ye Bei's ruthlessness, her identity will affect Yue and Ziluo, even if these two children are really Ye Bei's heirs, he will also give them to death in order to maintain royal power and honor.

Maybe just go to sleep and don't wake up again...... Or......

The sharp dagger was against Ye Bei's heart, and with just a slight stab, he would never wake up again, and Yue could ascend to the throne naturally, Nash and Nalan were dead, and the last bustard who knew that she had been a prostitute was also found by her, and was sunk into the ice just now.

There is indeed no evidence, but she is still very scared, she is afraid of Ye Bei in her heart, she knows that if Ye Bei really wants to investigate, no matter how well she hides, she can't hide it, once she wakes him up, it will be equivalent to directly pronouncing the death sentence of Yue and Ziluo, and there is no room for maneuver.

If you want to end this matter, it's actually very simple, you just need to use this dagger that Ye Bei gave her to defend herself and stab it down gently, and it all will be completely over, the dagger with the patterned steel blade doesn't have too many inlays, and the dull blade is extremely sharp, she has carried it with her for so many years and still hasn't been stained with blood, and she never thought that the first person who wanted to kill someone was Ye Bei.

"After being a husband and wife for so many years, I have never understood you, but there is one thing I understand too well, you value honor and royal power more than your own life, and family affection is just a dispensable accessory to you, so ...... Don't blame me...... It's true...... Don't blame me. ”

Ye Bei was still silent, he was sleeping, his face was much softer than usual, with more warmth and a touch of coldness, this long gray and scattered hair was also unruly golden, and the years had not worn away his edges and corners, but carved many traces on his resolute face.

Tears flowed uncontrollably, and her hand jerked up, just as she was about to stab it......

Bang bang bang.

The rush knock on the door disturbed the queen's thoughts, and the dagger came out of her hand and fell to the side of the bed, but fortunately there was a velvet blanket on the ground, so there was no sound, and she hurriedly kicked the dagger under the bed with her foot, wiped away the tears on her face, calmed her emotions, and asked slowly, "Who? ”

Master Mu Bai hurriedly walked up to the Empress, he even forgot the basic etiquette, and said urgently, "Empress, the Iron Guards and Count Moran's army are besieging the North Wind City, and they insist that the Nuo family controls the North Wind City, and this move is to rescue you and the two highnesses and crusade against the Nuo family. ”

"Besieging the North Wind City? He Night Raven still dares to come back, what is the situation now?"

"The Iron Guard has 50,000 soldiers, plus the 30,000 of Count Moran, a total of 80,000, but this is not enough to attack the city, Lord Nolan's younger brother Knight Noch has led the army to meet the battle, now both sides have damage, the other side does not have too many supplies, besides, the weather is cold, the Iron Guard will not be able to support for long, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the 90,000 soldiers will be buried in the ice field, you know, the soldiers just obey the order, just because of a misunderstanding to cause such casualties is really unnecessary. ”

Mu Bai didn't know the identity of the Night Crow, in his opinion, the Night Crow must have misunderstood, after all, Nohe arrived in the North Wind City one step ahead of him, how could the North Wind City, which had no defensive ability, resist Nohe's 150,000 troops? Therefore, he would have a preconceived idea that the Nuo family had already controlled the North Wind City, and immediately organized a counterattack.

"There has never been a misunderstanding, you go out first, I'll come right away." ”

Mu Bai had a vague conjecture in his heart, if this conjecture was true, then it was no wonder that the people outside didn't listen to their explanations at all, but it was inconvenient to ask more at this time, after all, there was still a war outside, and people were dying every minute, and he still had a lot of things to arrange, so he had to leave first.

When the queen saw Mu Bai leaving, she closed the door again, and locked it with her hand, she didn't know why the night crow dared to come back, and she didn't care about the life or death of the 50,000 Iron Guards, as long as she had money and could afford to raise the army, how many Iron Guards could be reorganized, the only thing she was afraid of was the Nuo family, after this incident, would the Nuo family be as loyal to the royal family as ever?

If Ye Bei really died, could the moon ascend the throne really go as smoothly as he thought?

After all, Nohe's 150,000 troops are still stationed in North Wind City, once Ye Bei dies tonight, maybe tomorrow Nolan will take advantage of the previous rumors to deprive Yue of his inheritance, as for the evidence, for the Nuo family, there are as many as they want, and if it really comes to that time, it will really be a catastrophe.

After thinking about it for a long time, the queen picked up the dagger under the bed again, put it back in the sheath, and tightened the quilt for Ye Bei, she couldn't do it tonight, this matter had to be considered in the long run, but before she could wake up Ye Bei, the queen frowned slightly and left the room quickly.

Shortly after the queen left, the night crow quietly opened the window, and if the queen had walked more slowly, perhaps he would have laughed out loud.

"Look, what I've seen, even your wife wants to kill you, it seems that you are much more pathetic than I imagined, in fact, for you, just dying like this is the best ending, after all, you kill many more people than you want to kill you, and in the end, I am probably the only one who can stand in front of you alive. ”

With a slight wave of the blade, a few strands of white hair fell, but Ye Bei was silent as always, without any reaction.

"Look at how sharp this sword is, a blade made of Aran Lei steel, this is what you personally gave me, imagine how easy it is to cut your neck, yes, as easy as you slaughtered the village in the first place, but I am not as cruel as you, I will give you a chance. ”

Night Crow took out a purple vial from his arms and crushed it directly, and the blood mixed with the potion flowed into Ye Bei's mouth, he could have killed Ye Bei directly, but he didn't want to do it, because he actually wanted an answer more than revenge, an answer that no one else could give.
