At this moment, Mo Ye had not yet noticed anything amiss: "Yuwen Sheng, you publicly promised that if I returned Zheng Quchi to you within three days, you would let everyone in Fenggu Shacheng go. Now, does that promise still stand?"
Yuwen Sheng: "I never go back on my word."
"Alright then."
Mo Ye pushed the "Zheng Quzhi" in his hand forward with one palm. She trembled all over and had difficulty walking.
“Now, you should go back to your husband.”
However, under everyone's watchful eyes, "Zheng Quchi" had no choice but to walk slowly toward Yuwen Sheng. At this moment, Yuwen Sheng suddenly smiled and said in a voice so gentle it was almost eerie: "It is precisely because I did not recognize you back then that I have held a grudge ever since."
Sizzle~
A flash of sword light streaked across everyone's eyes without warning, and the next second, blood splattered everywhere.
Do you think I would make the same mistake twice?
The fake "Zheng Quchi" fell to the ground. She had not been dismembered, and there were no particularly obvious wounds on her body, except for a thin red line on her neck from which blood was gushing out continuously.
This was the only "mercy" Yuwen Sheng had shown her, considering she was still disguised as "Zheng Quchi," allowing her to remain with a complete corpse.
Mo Ye's expression changed drastically, and his chest heaved.
"I can play along with your two fooling attempts, but Mo Ye, it's time to stop." Yuwen Sheng raised his eyes, revealing a blood-dripping sword, scarlet lips, and a pair of mad, utterly enraged eyes that seemed to be filled with murderous rage.
"If you still won't hand her over, then let the entire Julu Kingdom search for her for me. I'll start with this city, so you can all understand clearly that if she's not returned, there will be no peace forever!"
Upon hearing this, the Ye army unleashed a barrage of arrows from the city walls. The Julu army below reacted swiftly, raising their shields to block the attack. At the same time, the Ye army forces behind the city gate surged forth like a tidal wave, with cavalry breaking through the stone slabs and charging out.
Yuwen Sheng returned to the city and climbed the city wall, with Wei Yao and Wang Zebang silently following behind him.
"Killing them one by one is too troublesome, let's burn the city down."
He turned to leave.
But then they heard Mo Ye shout from below, his voice filled with fury: "Yuwen Sheng! You hypocrite, what are you pretending for? If Zheng Quchi is really that important, why did you treat her like that back then? If she really knew you were looking for her, she would have run far away long ago and never seen you again in this life!"
Yuwen Sheng turned around, showing no anger, but instead smiled faintly: "She won't run away. She's so kind, standing up for others time and time again, fighting against me fearlessly. If she knew that the people of this city would die unjustly because of her, she would definitely come out to see me."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ye was utterly shocked.
