Chapter 362 The End of Being a Spy
"That's right. We spies will inevitably face this day sooner or later. We knew it when we first entered the martial arts school. Now that we've seen it with our own eyes, we can't accept it all at once."
After calming himself down, he continued, "When I saw her, both of her eyeballs were gone, blood was flowing down her face and solidified, and her tongue was stretched out, looking like a ghost."
"Her ten fingers were all covered in bloody holes, and her nails had been pulled out one by one, including her toes."
"That's not all. Two huge holes were dug in her chest. There wasn't a single piece of healthy flesh left in her lower body. It was covered in blood and rotted and stank!"
"The regent's men are all dead, and those evildoers have been punished. Heaven has eyes!"
Bai Li didn't know how to comfort her. Any words seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.
As a spy, it is normal for Yuan Mo to be left with psychological trauma after watching his companions die tragically.
Speaking of which, no matter which dynasty, not many spies and undercover agents could have a good ending. Most of them died after suffering inhuman torture.
No matter how much compensation the state gives them afterwards, it cannot make up one tenth of what they have paid.
But they knew that this would be the outcome, yet they still risked their lives, going through fire and water, like moths to a flame, giving up everything just for that little bit of light.
This is a true expression of loyalty and patriotism. Compared with them, Bai Li felt that the bloody battles he and his soldiers fought on the battlefield were nothing.
I just hope that after they have gone through all the hardships and paid a great price with their lives, they can ascend to heaven and become immortals.
This is not superstition. Ever since Bai Li's soul traveled through time and space, he began to believe in things that cannot be explained by science.
"You are truly great, greater than those of us who fought in the war."
Bai Li hugged Yuan Mo again, who was kissing softly, and comforted him with heartache.
"Does she... have any family? Da Zhou will compensate her."
"She's an orphan. Someone from the martial arts school picked her up and raised her. At first, she did chores, cooking, and cleaning. She insisted on becoming a spy out of gratitude."
Bai Li was silent, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, alright, it was clearly my own choice in the beginning, why are you being so hypocritical now?
If you die, you die. It's all over no matter how you die.
Seeing Bai Li was sad with her, Yuan Mo smiled and tried to comfort her.
But her smile didn't reach her eyes at all, and the forced smile looked more like a bitter smile.
"You and Yu Ji can all retire now. Don't accept any more missions!"
Bai Li thought of something and immediately warned Yuan Mo seriously.
Everyone is selfish, and she can't control what others do, but the person in front of her is her good friend and sister, and she doesn't want to see her tragic end.
"I understand. Every time we complete a mission, the prince will give us a choice: continue to take on missions or collect the reward and retire."
call!
This is better, otherwise Bai Li would have turned against Nangong Min. If you want people to risk their lives, you have to be more humane and not even give them the chance to choose.
"By the way, Wu Ji has a brother. Why did she enter the martial arts school?"
Bai Li asked the question he had always wanted to ask but never had the chance to ask.
"Her parents were both deceased. When she was ten, her brother fell seriously ill. She desperately needed money for his medical treatment. She heard somewhere that a martial arts school was hiring people for a high price, so she went there and sold herself to pay for her brother's medical treatment."
"A prostitute like her should have to work for the martial arts school for her entire life. The fact that she was able to be free must have been a special exception made by the prince for your sake."
"There's such a thing? If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known about it."
Bai Li thought to herself that she had wronged Nangong Min. No wonder he said that only she had the privilege.
He said this partly because she really had the golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the emperor, and partly because she was his.
"Well, I know how to arrange things for Wu Ji, but what about Asamu?"
Yuan Mo was silent for a moment, then spoke carefully.
"In fact, he still has some genuine feelings for Wu Ji, and he is a kind person who has never done anything wicked or evil. His crime does not deserve the death penalty.
Degrade him to a commoner, and his descendants will never be allowed to serve as officials in the court. Let him and Wu Ji live the lives of ordinary people."
"Yeah, I thought so too. Today, Nangong Min made him suffer a little because of the national treasury issue. I saw that his expression was only wronged and confused, without any resentment, so I knew he was worth saving."
Bai Li made up his mind and then thought of asking about the queen.
"What did you do to them?"
Yuan Mo knew who they were referring to as soon as he heard it.
"Those two women kept trying to trip me up, both overtly and covertly. Every time I came to see Yu Ji, they would send someone to take me away. Then they would use all sorts of tricks to get me to reveal which royal relative Yu Ji wanted me to marry, and what she was plotting against their Majesty."
"What did they do to you?"
Bai Li hurriedly grabbed Yuan Mo's body to see where she was injured.
"It's okay, they don't dare to do it openly, they just use some secret tricks.
For example, they would prick me with a needle, so that the wound wouldn't be visible from the outside, but it would still hurt terribly.
They pressed me to reveal Yu Ji's conspiracy. They always thought that Yu Ji wanted to become the queen by relying on the favor of the prince and His Majesty.
"Damn it! If I had known, I would have avenged you myself!"
"It's okay, it's all over!"
Yuan Mo comforted her with the words Bai Li had just used to comfort her.
She was very calm when talking about her own affairs. Perhaps she felt that her own affairs were not worth mentioning compared with that person's experience.
It turned out that what she was worried about was not her experience, but the huge shadow that person cast on her.
"Then you should spend the next two days with Wu Ji. I will arrange for you to leave after I finish all the work here."
"By the way, where do you want to go? You all have your own places to go, right?"
Bai Li estimated the time and thought that it would take about ten days to search the private residences and vaults of the royal family members and to liquidate the remnants of the Regent and the Prince of Jin. Then he could let them go.
“I have nowhere to go. My hometown is long gone, and it’s a sad place for me. I don’t want to go back.
I don't know where they are going, so I need to ask them what they think."
"Yuan Mo, if you don't mind, please stay with me. I'm in need of a confidant."
"real?!"
A huge surprise hit her head, Yuan Mo jumped three feet high with joy, and almost hugged Bai Li and spun around in circles.
Bai Li also smiled, and the two of them held hands and looked at each other, smiling foolishly.
"Then it's settled. You will be my personal bodyguard. You will follow me wherever I go and never leave my side!"
"Yes! I'll never leave your side! Then Prince Nangong will beat me to death, right?"
"Hey! How dare you, little girl, laugh at me? I'll tickle you!"
