Beichuan City was a desolate place, and there was a war going on there, so Nangong Chiyu was very happy that Su Luo came to see him.
But while he was happy, he also didn't want Su Luo to stay in this dangerous place.
"I'll wait for you to go back together!"
Su Luo put down her chopsticks and said her words with particular firmness, as if no matter what Nangong Chiyu said, it would not change her mind.
"Luo Luo, I'm not trying to drive you away. I miss you too, and I wish you would stay by my side. But Beichuan City is not like the capital or Changping Village."
This place is often ravaged by war. More than my own selfish desires, I wish for your safety and well-being.
Seeing his anxiety, Su Luo's expression softened a little as she spoke.
“Your heart is like mine, and I also hope that you can be safe. But I have already told you about the Grand Preceptor’s prophecy in the letter.”
Nangong Chiyu, please believe me. Regardless of whether we can grow enough food this year, as long as I am here, the Chiyu Army will not be defeated because of food shortages.
I promise you, I won't go to war zones or military camps, even if you're worried about my safety.
"Then let's wait until after August, until the matter of supplies is settled, before I go back, okay?"
Even with this year's drought, Su Luo still had Steward Shi and his team plant dryland rice in Changping Village and the capital.
"Luo Luo, you've thought it all through, haven't you?"
"yes!"
Su Luo answered decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
"Let's eat, and then get some rest."
Nangong Chiyu knew that once Su Luo made a decision, it would be difficult for him to change it.
As long as he protects her and keeps her out of danger.
Hearing Nangong Chiyu say to get some rest, and seeing the clear meaning in his eyes, Su Luo knew what he meant without even thinking.
Her face flushed, and she instantly became embarrassed.
"I'm full. I'll ask Lian'er to take me outside for some fresh air."
Su Luo was bent over and hadn't stood up straight when an arm suddenly blocked her waist. Before she could react, Nangong Chiyu swept her into his arms.
"Your Highness, I also want to get some fresh air first."
Su Luo knew she couldn't escape, and in just a few moments, he carried her to the room.
The night in Beichuan was still chilly, but even so, it couldn't quell the burning desire for home.
...
At the Beiliang camp, Shuang Shuo gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground. He had failed in his mission and had been punished with a military rod. He was kneeling and could not even stand up straight.
"Master, I will definitely find another way to supply the Red Feather Army with provisions..."
"The supplies are all in Nangong Chiyu's hands, what can you do?"
Ye Beihan was mixing the poison he had just made. He raised his eyelids, and a chilling aura emanated from his body, a chill that seemed to come from hell.
Before Shuang Shuo could finish speaking, he interrupted her. If it were anyone else, they would have already become Ye Beihan's poison test subject by now.
Shuang Shuo lowered his head in silence. They had gone so far as to expose the people hidden in Beichuan City in order to destroy the grain supplies, but they had failed.
Nangong Chiyu is ruthless; even without showing his face, he can annihilate all of their people in the shortest amount of time.
If it weren't for the poisonous insects he carried, he might have died at the hands of the Akabane army.
"Did you see clearly? Was Su Luo really among the people escorting the grain supplies this time?"
Although the smoke was thick at the time, Shuangshuo's body had been exposed to many toxins since childhood, so the smoke was nothing to him.
He could see it clearly; the person dressed as a soldier was definitely Su Luo, the woman he hated the most.
I don't know what the master sees in Su Luo, but one day, he will definitely kill this woman with his own hands.
It's her!
Ye Beihan smiled wickedly, sat back down at the table, and stopped making the medicine after a while.
"Ha! With her here, it's no wonder you fell for her trap. It seems I don't need to look for her; she's come to me on her own."
Shuang Shuo lowered his head, but the murderous intent in his eyes deepened. He admitted that Su Luo was a little clever, but his master's attitude towards her was too much. If this continued, it would harm Bei Liang sooner or later.
If the master only values Su Luo's talent and wants to bring her to Beiliang to serve Beiliang, then...
He didn't react that strongly, but the master clearly didn't mean it that way.
Others might not realize that their master wanted to possess Su Luo, but Shuang Shuo knew it perfectly well. He absolutely could not allow it to happen.
“Master, Su Luo always ruins our important plans, so I’ve dealt with her.”
Ye Beihan, who had been nonchalant, suddenly fixed a cold gaze on Shuang Shuo when he heard her say those words.
"You dare! No one is allowed to touch her without my order."
"Master, she is Nangong Chiyu's woman..."
Ye Beihan looked up, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath through his nose, clearly dissatisfied with Shuang Shuo's words.
"You don't need to keep reminding me to get out..."
Shuang gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with resentment. He was the one who had been with his master since childhood, but ever since Su Luo appeared, they had always been arguing. Su Luo deserved to die...
"etc……"
Shuang Shuo walked to the door, but Ye Beihan stopped him again and threw a bottle of poison at him from behind.
"Take this to feed your insects, and let Nangong Chiyu live for another two months. This time, I will definitely send him to the Western Paradise."
Killing Nangong Chiyu and taking away his beloved woman filled Ye Beihan with a sense of vengeful pleasure.
He controlled everyone in the Northern Liang court, but he still couldn't subdue Nangong Chiyu, the man he hated all his life.
They have now bred a new type of poisonous insect specifically designed to deal with Nangong Chiyu. If bitten by this insect, one will not die immediately, but will become a living dead.
He wanted to make Nangong Chiyu wish he were dead, to show him how he could trample Nanning under his feet.
And then there's Su Luo, who made him clearly understand how Su Luo submitted to him.
All of this only has meaning if Nangong Chiyu witnesses it personally.
“Master, if Master were still here, we wouldn’t need to wait another two months to raise these poisonous insects.”
For Ye Beihan and Shuang Shuo, the word "master" evoked both respect and hatred. If it weren't for their master, they wouldn't have been raised on poison and become poisonous beings.
But it was also because of their master that they achieved what they have today, survived, and were able to control the entire Northern Liang.
Ye Beihan's tone softened somewhat as he said to Shuang Shuo, "I have had a poison bath prepared; go and soak in it."
"Thank you, Master!"
The blood on Shuang's body is reddish-black and contains many different toxins, which interact and counteract each other.
Similar to the workings of the Five Elements, their master neither allowed them to die nor allowed them to live a good life.
When they are injured, ordinary medicines are ineffective, but poisons can regulate their bodily functions and heal their wounds.
The only difference is that the toxins in their bodies are different. Shuang Shuo was a poison tester, while Ye Beihan used poison to treat an illness and eventually became a medicine person as well.
