Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

At this moment, Yue Qingshu, who had his eyes tightly closed as if he was sleeping, suddenly opened his deep and sharp eyes like a lion that was awakened.

That gaze was as cold as polar ice, without any warmth at all, and like an endless abyss that made people shudder, without even the slightest emotional fluctuation mixed in it.

He just asked coldly with a blank expression: "What do you want to say?"

Xiaolan just woke up from her dream at this moment, and understood instantly that the extremely intelligent Mo Ying had already seen through Yue Qingshu's carefully woven disguise.

She couldn't help but admire her young lady even more, and she secretly sighed in her heart: "Our young lady is really a person with great foresight and insight!"

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Yue Qingshu straightened his body and looked at Mo Ying without flinching.

He clearly saw that Mo Ying's face, which should have been beautiful and charming, now looked extremely pale, like a withered petal that had lost its vitality.

He knew very well that it must be the final blow he launched before his consciousness faded that caused quite serious trauma to the woman in front of him.

Yue Qingshu has always known that he is not a kind-hearted or indecisive person.

However, somehow, when he saw Mo Ying change from the high-spirited and heroic woman to delicate, fragile and pitiful in an instant, his iron-hard heart actually began to ripple slightly.

However, this feeling was fleeting, because he quickly regained his sanity. After all, on a cruel and ruthless battlefield, there was no gender distinction, not to mention that someone as sinister and cunning as Mo Ying was really not worthy of mercy.

Even though it was only a momentary hesitation, this thought still caused a small ripple in his heart.

"I'll let you go." Mo Ying gritted her teeth and said with a determined look in her eyes.

Perhaps because she was too emotional, she couldn't help but cough twice, and the sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent space.

Yue Qingshu's face was gloomy, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.

He has never believed that there are good things happening for no reason in this world. What falls from the sky is not pie in the sky, but a trap.

Moreover, Mo Ying had gone through so much trouble to bring him here, how could she let him go so easily? She must have some ulterior motive.

So he asked coldly, "What are the conditions?"

Mo Ying took a deep breath, tried to calm her breathing, and said slowly: "I want you..."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingshu’s eyes suddenly widened, his face full of shock.

Yue Qingshu:!!!

Countless fantasies suddenly emerged in his mind. What exactly was the request? Was it really as unbearable as he thought?

Yue Qingshu never imagined that one day she would become the "wife of a bandit leader".

However, before Yue Qingshu could recover from his shock, Mo Ying took a deep breath and continued, "Retreat."

Because she had spoken too quickly just now, her breathing was obviously a little unstable at the moment, and she even needed to take deep breaths to maintain a normal breathing rhythm.

Xiaolan, who was standing by, had already noticed the ambiguity in the words, but she didn't dare to speak out to remind him. After all, neither Yue Qingshu nor Mo Ying had expressed any objection to this.

It’s better not to remind him, Xiaolan thought cleverly, just pretend that he didn’t hear it.

Yue Qingshu suddenly realized that it was just a misunderstanding. But even so, he still refused without hesitation and ruthlessly: "Impossible."

His tone was firm and there was no room for negotiation. In his opinion, the war was related to the survival of the country and the safety of the people. How could he give up so easily because of personal feelings?

Although this incident has not yet endangered the survival of the country, it is urgent and necessary to wipe out the bandits!

Mo Ying was extremely anxious. She had originally expected that Yue Qingshu might refuse, but she never expected that he would be so determined and leave no room for maneuver.

Moreover, from Yue Qingshu's firm and serious expression, Mo Ying had clearly realized that the other party was not just talking casually, but had really made up his mind.

In an instant, a deep feeling of powerlessness surged into Mo Ying's heart like a tide. Could it be that all the hardships and efforts he had put in for so long only resulted in failure?

She really couldn't bear to give up! This was her hometown, where her most cherished relatives and close friends lived. How could she let go of them...

"What exactly do I have to do to make you withdraw your troops? I know very well that you have the ability to do so." Mo Ying suppressed the waves in his heart, took a deep breath and said.

"Do you know my identity?" Yue Qingshu asked instead of answering.

Mo Ying shook her head gently: "I don't know, but I can guess a little."

"The emperor has entrusted me with such an important mission, so I should naturally do my best and fulfill my duties conscientiously." Yue Qingshu did not make any concessions, as if he had already seen through Mo Ying's intentions.

Looking at the situation, Mo Ying was obviously trying to use his life as a bargaining chip in order to gain a chance of survival.

But what is puzzling is that for some reason, Mo Ying always treated him with courtesy.

That's why Yue Qingshu was willing to talk to Mo Ying.

"But is it really right and reasonable for you to generalize and smear everyone without distinguishing right from wrong?"

Mo Ying's eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly and asked in a slightly trembling but firm and powerful voice.

"There are still many kindhearted and innocent civilians on this land! They have never done anything evil. Should they suffer misfortune or even lose their precious lives just because they are related to us? Is this fair? Where is justice?"

Mo Ying was very emotional, his chest heaving violently, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and anger in his heart.

Facing Mo Ying's questioning, Yue Qingshu's face turned gloomy and he said coldly: "Humph, you should know very well in your heart that it is because of the evil deeds and evil deeds of your group that this disaster has befallen us." His eyes were full of indifference and determination, as if he had no mercy on the people in front of him.

However, Mo Ying did not back down after hearing this. Instead, she took a step forward, staring straight at Yue Qingshu, and said anxiously: "I understand that all this is caused by us, but please believe me, I am willing to hand over the real culprit to you for disposal, and I only ask that you can let these innocent people go... Can I?" At the end, her tone was almost pleading, her hands clenched unconsciously, and her palms were full of sweat.
