Who would raise a villain as a wife?

This situation had no choice but to be treated, so He Yunjing had to act as a doctor again. He spent most of the day treating all the wounded, and it was dark when he finished.

The human skin lantern was hung high, and the compressed field formed an independent space on the lower three floors of the surrounding building, which could prevent other weird things from entering.

Everyone was very grateful to He Yunjing and his team, who not only saved them but also provided them with basic supplies. Some of them would have starved to death if they had been saved a little later.

He Yunjing went to an empty room to rest, and the others followed him, waiting for He Yunjing's next plan.

He Yunjing's plan was also very simple, which was to capture the Ghost King of this city. As long as Chu Li devoured the Ghost King, his cultivation would surely increase rapidly, making those low-level ghosts in this city obedient, and then gather the surviving humans in this city together.

Chu Li had no objection to this, or rather, this was what he originally thought.

However, this plan is somewhat dangerous, so we cannot bring Chu Heng and the others with us. The three of us will stay here and wait for news from them.

Chu Heng had no objection. He knew his own weight and was afraid that if he went there he would not be able to help and would instead be a burden. He was just worried about them.

He Yunjing didn't have time to play any sentimental games with them. He simply pushed the person out and slammed the door shut.

When only he and Chu Li were left in the room, He Yunjing sat down and asked seriously, "What exactly is the treason mentioned on the stone tablet?"

He Yunjing didn't believe it. Having been to so many worlds, he knew soul fragments very well. There was no such thing as pure evil. Something always had to happen to make the soul fragments do something wrong. He had the same idea this time.

Especially what Chu Li asked on the balcony that day, it was clear that he was worried about the humans in this world. If Chu Li had collaborated with the enemy, why would he care about the lives of these people? I'm afraid they would have joined the weird army long ago.

Chu Li met He Yunjing's gaze and asked him, "Why do you believe me?"

He was very surprised. Human history is long, and no matter which dynasty or generation, treason is a serious crime and will be despised by the world.

The emperor determined that he was a traitor, and it had already been recorded in history. He should have been despised for ten thousand years, but He Yunjing believed him, without any reason.

He Yunjing touched the scar on his cheek, "You are a general, and those are your brothers who have been through thick and thin with you. If you really wanted to betray your country, why would you go back and give them the chance to kill you? History only writes things that it wants the world to see, and they may not be true. Instead of believing those unfounded things, I would rather believe you who is standing in front of me."

Chu Li felt complicated. He pulled He Yunjing's hand away and looked out the window. His eyes became empty.

"They fell into the enemy's trap and became bloodthirsty and violent, not distinguishing between friend and foe. The situation was urgent at the time. If we didn't kill them on the spot, the other soldiers at the border would not only face the enemy army, but also their former comrades. Rather than letting them die in my own hands and be stained with the blood of my companions, I would rather let them die in the hands of the enemy and count it as dying on the battlefield."

Chu Li's voice was very soft, and it echoed in He Yunjing's ears with a painful emotion.

He reached out and hugged Chu Li from behind, leaning his head lightly against the back of Chu Li's head, fearing that if he exerted too much force, Chu Li's head would fall off.

He said softly, "Ali is right. Soldiers are strong and will not kill each other on the battlefield. If their souls know, they will only thank you."

Chu Li lowered his eyes and remained silent. No matter what the reason was, it was a fact that he killed so many soldiers. He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and he didn't want his brothers who had been through life and death with him to bear the eternal infamy.

So he didn't argue. If someone really had to bear the responsibility, he would rather it be himself, as it would be a way of atonement.

But is Chu Li really guilty?

If Chu Li had not acted decisively, those out-of-control people would have killed their comrades, and their souls would not have rested in peace even after death. Once the border was breached, what would happen to the people behind the border troops?

He Yunjing asked, "So you led them to the enemy side and let the enemy army kill them?"

"Ah."

Chu Li responded softly. That was the best solution he could think of, so those people were still the heroic souls who died in battle, rather than rebels who killed their comrades. As for doing all this, he should bear the crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy.

He Yunjing frowned. If that was the case, Chu Li should have volunteered to die. Then what about the incarnation of an evil ghost mentioned on the stone tablet?

He Yunjing thought so and asked, but Chu Li was confused, "I turn into a ghost to take revenge?"

"Well, that's what's engraved on the stone tablet, but didn't you volunteer to die? How did you become a demon?"

"I don't know." Chu Li frowned slightly, "I woke up after I died and saw you and Chu Heng."

"You have no memory of becoming a ghost?"

"No."

At this moment, He Yunjing couldn't help but doubt it. He stood up and walked around to Chu Li, "Could someone be playing tricks on you, or have you offended someone? Are they saying this on purpose to suppress your soul?"

"I don't know either. I have been at the border with my father and brothers since I was born. Apart from practicing with spears, I have been fighting in the battlefield. I get along well with the soldiers at the border." Chu Li couldn't imagine who would go to such great lengths to calm his soul. It was a bit too much.

The only thing He Yunjing could think of was the enemy. "Since they can make the soldiers lose control, they might be using ghosts to frame you."

"But I'm already dead, what's the point of suppressing my soul?"

"It's indeed a bit extreme. Even if you ruined their plan, it wouldn't be like this." He Yunjing continued to think about it, but there were too few clues for him to judge, so he simply let it go for the time being.

He raised his hand and rubbed Chu Li's head. "It's okay. It's all in the past. Those people died long ago. Let's focus on the present. Although there are not many survivors, once you kill the Gui King, you will be the general in everyone's heart. Then we will build a temple for you and enjoy the incense."

Chu Li didn't care about this. He was taught since birth to defend his country and protect the people behind him.

Even though thousands of years have passed and dynasties have changed countless times in this land, the people are still there, so he should protect them if he has the ability to do so.

Seeing the determination in Chu Li's eyes, He Yunjing felt relieved and said to him softly, "Then go to bed early today and go find the Gui King tomorrow."

Chu Li agreed. Ghosts don't need to sleep, but the Ghost King is very powerful, so he does need to conserve his energy to deal with it.

He didn't want to bring He Yunjing with him because the human body is too fragile. But He Yunjing insisted, and He Yunjing was indeed powerful. With his current strength, he didn't have much chance of winning against the Ghost King. If He Yunjing was brought along, there would be a certain guarantee.

The two of them reached a consensus temporarily, and He Yunjing also took the time to practice in the consciousness space for a night. He said goodbye to everyone and set off early the next morning.

But before leaving, he was still forced to be sentimental. It was not because He Yunjing wanted to, but because Chu Heng and the others were really worried. They repeatedly told them to come back alive and run away if they couldn't win.

He Yunjing agreed perfunctorily, and he and Chu Li mounted their horses and galloped towards where the Gui King was.
