Lord Cui and the old man talked back and forth for a long time, and in the end they only managed to reduce the time limit to fifty years. Half of the cities and lands that had been conquered by Chu Rong were also taken away.

Charlie and his men were not satisfied with what they heard and wanted to push it down further, but Lord Cui sighed, turned around, looked at them, and shook his head. It was already quite remarkable that they could all reach this number tonight.

The land that has been taken away—there is still a long time ahead, and one day they will personally launch a counterattack and reclaim the land!

After signing such a treaty, the four were able to leave safely. Mingmei stood in front of the royal tent and watched a group of people ride away on fast horses. The gazes of the people behind them were almost tangible, wishing they could pierce the four people's hearts with a thousand arrows. They had already fought their way south to this place, and they were going to retreat after just one night?

No matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing anyone could do. Too much had happened in one night, and the tyrant eventually succumbed to his injuries, startling the Chu Rong forces and slowing their retreat.

The game should have ended soon, and she should have logged off, but now she was forced to stay by the tyrant's side and take care of him, unable to move around.

Only when she was the only one left around the tyrant did Mingmei put down the medicine in the bowl and speak: "You...you're not the tyrant, are you?"

The "tyrant" opened his eyes and looked at Mingmei, revealing a fragile smile as he said, "How could this be?"

"How could you not? Ah Chen?" Mingmei even called him by name this time. "I underestimated you, player. You're a master of cross-dressing and have amazing disguise skills. You secretly played a trick on them like this."

Yesterday, when Mingmei stared at that corpse that had been beaten so badly that its face and body were indistinguishable, resembling a pile of mud, and was still hanging there, she felt something was off.

The strange feeling intensified when he dealt with the assassins' bodies that evening.

Tyrants are indeed cruel and tyrannical, so why was the assassin who was tortured by the tyrant during the day still hung up after his death and despised, while the one who died at night died a quick and easy death?

In ancient times, while scattering bones to ashes was also a serious offense, it paled in comparison to being beaten to death in broad daylight and then having one's corpse hung up and exposed to the elements and cursed.

Furthermore, the fact that the player who never appeared in the game is still alive is also a mystery; even though it's the finale, she still hasn't seen him.

Besides, the explanation Julian and Charlie gave her yesterday afternoon also left Mingmei somewhat confused.

If the two mistakenly identified an NPC as a player, then it's highly suspicious that an NPC would tell them he's a mysterious merchant selling boxed lunches!

Furthermore, given that tyrant's temperament, even if these two were cleared of suspicion on the spot, they might not be released immediately. If they were released, it would only mean that he would need them later.

Mingmei had been observing everything coldly, pondering all the events in her mind for a long time, and only after their negotiation and confrontation ended was she able to confirm everything.

In the end, it was all a grand show they put on!

A grand show put on in front of these Chu Rong people!

Mu Chen, whose suspicions had been exposed by Mingmei, remained silent until she slowly and gradually explained what she had been doubting. Only then did he grin, which was considered an admission of guilt.

“By the way, your face…” Mingmei then recalled the other person’s current face, which resembled that of the young master of the Zhang family, “is it your own?”

Mingmei saw him open his mouth and silently say something, but then a message popped up in the game system's background saying the game was over. The next second, everything went black and Mingmei was kicked out.

She never received the answer she wanted.
