"General Yuwen, do you still remember something you promised me?"
After she asked, worried that he might have forgotten or not know which one it was, she laid it all out and said, "No matter what mistakes I, Sang Xuanqing, have made, they will not affect my family."
Yuwen Sheng's hand stopped abruptly. He lazily raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on her: "If everything you've said is a lie, then why should I continue to keep my promise?"
At this moment, even the softest cat was provoked into showing its claws. Deep in her pupils, a sickly blue flame burned: "I, Sang Xuanqing, have done everything I promised you, but you have denied my merits and past achievements because of some unfounded accusations. I do not accept the crimes you have made, and I do not accept the evidence you have used to slander me!"
Seeing that she was about to collapse, Wei Yao felt a pang of sadness. After struggling for a while, she knelt down and lifted her robe: "General, I beg you... please give Sang Xuanqing another chance to defend herself. She said she went to the camp to find me, and Miss Gongshu also corroborated this."
Fu Rong's eyes then revealed a strange look. He narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Zheng Quchi: "General, wait a moment."
Yuwen Sheng instinctively felt that Fu Rong had noticed something. Just as he turned his head, he saw balls of firestones falling from the sky, the scorching flames crashing down on him like a net.
"It's an oil-fired catapult! Quick, spread out!"
A shout rang in their ears, startling the army into fleeing in all directions, resulting in utter rout.
Although the quarry offered a wide view, it also meant that there was a lack of places to hide or take cover. Wei Yao and Wang Zebang, under Yuwen Sheng's orders, took action to rescue Zheng Quchi and Gongshu Lan, who did not know martial arts.
At the same time, a powerful male voice boomed from above: "Sang Xuanqing, I've come to pick you up!"
Zheng Quchi looked on in astonishment and saw Mo Ye, dressed in a crimson battle robe, amidst the rolling chariots on the vast hillside. He was like a dazzling, scorching flame, acting recklessly and arrogantly, completely disregarding the lives of others.
Strangers, strangers?!
How could it be him?
"I have received your message. As a reward for your service, I will grant you your wish to stay by my side from now on."
At this moment, everyone looked at Zheng Quchi.
Zheng Quchi was also completely bewildered: "What letter?"
Mo Ye curled his lips into a sinister smile, his handsome face filled with a sinister grin: "Thanks to your letter, I was able to burn down the camp and destroy the defenses while the Mo family and the nomadic barbarians were distracting Yuwen Sheng, and that's how I was able to get here and find you."
