In Yun Nian's palm lay a brown pill, lying across the middle of the wound, with a faint fragrance.

She found this in her dressing-box, which no one could put anything in except herself.

After she took it out, she showed it to Huo Daiyu first, and then she realized that it was just an ordinary pill for calming the mind.

"But why would you hide such an ordinary thing?"

Good question. Yun Nian herself didn’t know. Maybe she stuffed it in there when she was raiding some pharmacy?

But it was just right to take it out now. She looked at Yun Shuo with red eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Wouldn't you like that, brother?"

The expression on her face was so pitiful, as if rejecting her was a heinous crime.

Yun Shuo was silent for a moment, then quickly snatched the pill and swallowed it. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his raised chin was like a dying migratory bird.

He didn't even ask what the medicine was, but just looked at Yun Nian anxiously.

"I ate it. Can you forgive me, Sisi?"

Unfortunately, the girl in front of him had extremely bad intentions. She raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, her expression was no different from those dandy boys who cheated on their bodies and hearts.

"Forgive me, brother. I forgive you for hiding the truth from me. However, I didn't say you should forget the rest."

"Also, this medicine won't have any effect normally, but I have its primer in my hand. If you make me unhappy, I'll let you experience the feeling of having your heart broken."

She turned around and hummed a song as she returned to her room. Yun Shuo's face suddenly turned pale.

"But if my brother is willing to listen to me, I will definitely be grateful."

Yun Nian pushed open the door and whispered again,

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The decayed face suddenly regained its vitality. Yun Shuo couldn't explain the emotion in his heart.

He was clearly trying to pretend and try to slowly eat away at Yun Nian's defenses with gentleness, but now, he was the one being devastated by her words, feeling like he was dying.

There seemed to be a cool medicinal taste in his throat. He touched his fragile Adam's apple, and a secret joy surged in his heart.

Sisi still cares about him after all, otherwise she wouldn't have taken out the poison. She didn't give it to anyone else, only to herself, right?

……

In the yellow sand of the desert, the huge flying flag fell heavily to the ground, and then was stepped on by a pair of dry feet. What flowed on the ground was bright red blood, which trickled into a thin stream.

"kill!"

Tearing cries echoed over the yellow sand. The skinny corpses were as slow as wood, with a sense of stagnation in their movements, but their speed was not slow.

Ke Luo's soldiers hid behind these mummies like ghosts, jumping out from time to time and viciously killing the enemy soldiers.

The soldiers of Jisha City desperately blocked the city gate. If these mummies were allowed to move forward one more step, it would be much more difficult to defend the city.

"No, we can't hold on like this. We can never kill all these mummies!"

"We have to hold on even if we can't. We don't have the chance to retreat. Everyone, pay attention and do your best to stop it!"

The young general who was kneeling on one knee raised his head, holding the red tasseled spear in one hand and stabbing it hard into the ground with the other hand, using the force to support his exhausted body.

"Behind us are thousands of homes, the barriers of our parents, brothers and sisters. We must never retreat."

The scorching sun cast a light on his face, revealing a resolute face that had lost its childishness.

Zuo Mingyuan's face was covered with dried blood, some from his enemies and some from his companions. The dark circles under his eyes showed that he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

He exhaled heavily, listened to the shouts of fighting, swung his spear, pierced the mummy that rushed over, and then pulled it out with force.

"I will defend Da'an's territory and the glory of the Left General's Mansion to my death!"

Seeing that he had been exposed, the Kero soldier raised his huge mace and chopped it down from the air, hammering the blood-stained spear with great force.

"Cough cough!"

Zuo Mingyuan's footsteps slid backwards, and his body seemed to be pressed to the bottom of the valley. Under the impact, he spat out a mouthful of blood in confusion.

"Hey……"

He suddenly spoke with a frivolous smile on his face, revealing his neat white teeth and an indescribable youthful spirit.

"If you really succeed, then the girl I like will no longer be able to do what she wants to do."

The soldier of Nakolo was startled. Although he was already on guard, he still felt that his weapon suddenly missed. The red tasseled spear was pulled out and then returned in a tricky manner, piercing his fragile body.

Fresh blood splattered on the young general's face. He wiped it off vigorously, leaving a patch of blood on his face. Only his eyes remained sharp and clear.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate, in the direction of Luochuan City, where his beloved woman was. A trace of gentle and lingering love flashed quickly in his determined pupils, and then was replaced by ferocity.

The battle report of Jisha City has been submitted to Wei Qingjue. Huo Daiyu's mother Huo Daiyu has led troops to provide emergency assistance, but he knows that this is just a temporary solution.

If we can't find a better way to deal with the mummies, sending more soldiers over will only lead to their deaths, which will be of no use at all.

The eunuch stood by with some fear in his heart. The atmosphere in the palace was so solemn that he dared not make a sound at all.

He was standing there perfectly still when someone suddenly hit him on the head.

"Boom!"

"Oh? How come you, a eunuch, have such a hard head? Your voice is quite nice."

It was a voice he had never heard before. He immediately raised his head, wondering who dared to act so rashly in front of the Regent. But he was met with a pair of emerald green eyes.

"Fuqiu."

Wei Qingjue shouted threateningly, but it was the eunuch who knelt down instead. When he saw the eyes that did not belong to Da'an people, he immediately realized the identity of the visitor and understood that he had seen the secret.

"It's meaningless. It's just a scare. If you're worried that he might leak the secret, just kill him, right, my dear brother?"

Fuqiu's voice was filled with careless murderous intent, but her eyes fell on Wei Qingjue, whose face was not very good.

"What? Are you in a tough fight? I told you before that what Keluo has is witchcraft and poison. If he had used all of them, Daan would have been in his pocket long ago."

"Really? But for a hundred years, Ke Luo's cavalry has been blocked outside Jisha City. Do they not want to use it? It's because they don't dare."

"You! Humph!"

Seeing that she could not threaten him, Fuqiu turned her eyes and showed a determined smile.

"It doesn't matter. Your sweetheart has already agreed to go with me. You can just stay in this cold palace by yourself!"
