"Why aren't you coming out yet?" Mu Jingrui didn't even raise his eyelids, and there was no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness in his tone.
Shangguan Wanning and Zheng Zhixing, who were hiding behind, looked at each other and blamed each other.
"It's all your fault. You spoke so loudly just now."
"What does it have to do with me? It's you who don't know martial arts and can't adjust your breathing." Zheng Zhixing looked at the cold Mu Jingrui and said, "Go by yourself. He won't beat you to death anyway."
After saying that, he ran away.
Shangguan Wanning could only walk out alone, dejected.
"come over."
Mu Jingrui extended his hand to Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning obediently put her hand into Mu Jingrui's palm and asked tentatively: "Are you really... not going to agree to make peace with them?"
"Given the current situation, there is really no need to negotiate peace. It won't be long before I can wipe out their entire clan and eliminate any future troubles."
Mu Jingrui said calmly: "I don't want to wait until they have rested and recovered before launching a large-scale attack. There are precedents for this. It will only cause more casualties if it goes on forever."
"But..." Shangguan Wanning thought of the refugees who had fled. "Jingrui, have you ever thought that the people are innocent? Whether they are our people or the barbarians, they just want to live an ordinary and stable life."
Mu Jingrui held Shangguan Wanning's hand with a doting smile on his face.
"Don't think too much, I'll take care of these things."
Shangguan Wanning was about to say something but stopped herself and nodded helplessly.
She really shouldn't interfere in military and national affairs. However, she was still a little uneasy. She felt that Mu Jingrui was gradually getting closer to the evil god Zhennan Wang in her memory in her previous life.
Shangguan Wanning returned to her room and looked through all the medical books, but still could not find a cure.
Even if the book had records on how to use acupuncture to force the toxins out of the body, given her level of skill, she wouldn't dare try it easily.
If he fails, not only will he fail to save Sun Jinyao, but he will also be sent packing.
Shangguan Wanning didn't want to, nor did she dare to take the risk.
After hesitating for a long time, she came to the place where the Holy Son of the Barbarian Tribe was imprisoned.
Mu Jingrui knew that the Holy Son knew witchcraft, so she was very strict in watching him. Led by the soldiers, she passed through many obstacles and finally saw the Holy Son who was in a more embarrassed state.
The Son of God heard footsteps and slowly raised his head.
His eyes met Shangguan Wanning's, and suddenly, he smiled strangely.
This smile made Shangguan Wanning feel creepy.
But she still mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward, looked at the Holy Son with a cold look, and said, "How is it? It feels bad to be imprisoned, right?"
"Girl, you came to see me, not just to ask me if I'm feeling okay, right?" The Holy Son stood up and walked in front of Shangguan Wanning. The two looked at each other across the wooden fence. "Time is running out."
Not much time left?
Shangguan Wanning's heart skipped a beat and she instantly sank to the bottom of the valley.
She instinctively thought that the Son of God was threatening her with Sun Jinyao's life.
"That's right, you don't have much time left. General Mu will definitely not let you go."
“Hahaha,” the Holy Son laughed up to the sky, “Did you come to this place just to remind me that I’m dying? Girl, you don’t want to speak first because you don’t want to be controlled by others. But I tell you, as long as you want to get even a little bit of useful things from me, then you will be passive.”
Shangguan Wanning suddenly realized that it would not work to play tricks on the man in front of her, because he was an expert in this area.
"Okay, then I won't waste my time talking to you." Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath, "Tell me how to cure the poison in my friend's body. As long as you tell me, I will exchange it with you for something I can do that you need."
"You are not so stupid. You understand what equal exchange is." The Son of God raised his hand and gently stroked his horrified face, and his smile gradually faded.
For a long time, the atmosphere fell into silence.
"It's not impossible to save your friend. But one life for another."
"What's the meaning?"
"In this world, the poison I have given is only detoxified by me. I can help your friend detoxify. However, I need your blood to cure the pain of my backlash."
Shangguan Wanning's face changed slightly, and she clenched her fists, trying her best not to let the Son of God see that her body was shaking.
She really wanted to save Sun Jinyao, but she was a little afraid to sacrifice her own life for it.
"How is it?" The Holy Son stared at Shangguan Wan Ning and said coldly, "As far as I know, he was poisoned in order to save you. He can die for you, but what about you? It seems that you are not worthy of him doing this."
The Holy Son's words made Shangguan Wanning feel ashamed.
"Even if you can cure the backlash, you can't escape the cage. I advise you to change the conditions."
Mu Jingrui's voice came, and Shangguan Wanning turned around hurriedly.
She saw helpless reproach in Mu Jingrui's eyes. She had no choice but to lower her head.
"As long as you are willing to tell me the antidote, I can release the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of your Barbarian Tribe that I have captured."
Mu Jingrui's willingness to propose such an exchange condition made Shangguan Wanning's eyes light up, and she looked at the Son of God with joy.
One life, in exchange for so many lives.
However, the Son of God just snorted coldly.
"Kill those people if you want. What does it have to do with me? I still say that I want her." The Holy Son pointed at Shangguan Wanning, "Maybe I will die even if I cure the backlash, but at least my appearance can be restored. I don't want to look like this in my next reincarnation."
Shangguan Wan Ning was stunned, dumbfounded by the Son of God's words.
She just couldn't understand how a person who was worshipped and offered sacrifices by the people could be so selfish.
He could have saved so many people, but he chose to give up for the sake of an unknown reincarnation.
This is simply...
Shangguan Wanning wanted to rush over and slap him hard twice.
"Then just wait to die here." Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning's hand and was about to leave.
Using those prisoners as an exchange was already his bottom line.
He didn't want Shangguan Wanning to live in guilt and regret for the rest of her life.
But if he were to exchange Shangguan Wan Ning, he still felt...
Sacrifice Sun Jinyao.
At worst, you can just burn some more paper for him.
Shangguan Wanning was in a heavy mood and let Mu Jingrui drag her out.
"Wait a moment."
The Holy Son saw how decisive and ruthless Mu Jingrui was. The poisoned person was not as important as he thought.
He couldn't give up this only chance.
"We can try another way. I'll take this girl's blood to treat the backlash, but I won't take her life. How do you think about this?"
Shangguan Wanning was delighted. She felt that it was acceptable and was about to go back to discuss the details when Mu Jingrui stopped her calmly.
