Including Moye.
He didn't recognize Zheng Quchi, perhaps because of the distance, or perhaps because his memory of her was very vague. In his mind, Zheng Quchi was dark-skinned, thin, short, and ugly, not like a woman.
So, who is this woman?
Could it be... Yuwen Sheng's mistress, or his true white moonlight?!
Over there, Zheng Quchi was "moved" by Yuwen Sheng's words and felt a chill run down her spine. If she could, she really wanted to refuse his "devotion" to her.
But she knew that although his appearance was unexpected, Yuwen Sheng's presence in front of her was also what she had asked for, and she could no longer avoid him.
Judging from his attitude this time, he didn't seem to be planning to sacrifice her. Perhaps they could talk things out a little?
"Actually, I am a spy for the Mohist school..."
"Um."
"In order to break free from the control of the Mohists, I once thought of helping them rescue people in exchange for my freedom, but I later changed my mind..."
"Um."
"I also killed Gongshu Lan to avenge Uncle Mu..."
"Um."
At this point, Zheng Quchi ran out of words.
Why isn't he reacting at all?
She felt that he was becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
Before, she could at least see through his smiling mask to his true emotions, but has he gone somewhere to train his emotional management skills?
She found him incredibly calm, both in tone and expression.
Zheng Quchi immediately became suspicious: "Are you planning to use a conciliatory approach now, and then resort to torture if that doesn't work? No need. I'll tell you everything you want to know. But could you... give me another chance?"
Actually, she didn't want to be so cowardly; she wanted to be more assertive. After he had almost killed her once, she wanted to ask him for another chance to argue, no, to defend herself and start over.
She wanted to give him the cold shoulder, to angrily confront him about his deception, and to go her separate ways, never to have anything to do with him again. But... she missed home, she missed her older brother and younger sister, she wanted to go back to Fuxian County...
Furthermore, this isn't a period drama; it's real life. If she dared to insult him and give him a good beating, she wouldn't get a wicked smile from him saying, "This woman is special and interesting," but rather he'd end her with a single sword strike.
Don't talk about human rights and fairness in feudal society. The rule of thumb is that a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking one.
Yuwen Sheng answered readily: "Okay."
Zheng Quchi was taken aback, and it took him a long time to react: "Do you keep your word?"
She felt conflicted at that moment; she could sense that he treated her differently now.
His attitude towards Sang Xuanqing was different from Yuwen Sheng's, and also different from Liu Fengmian's attitude towards Zheng Quchi... It seems quite different as well.
She didn't know when he recognized her as Zheng Quchi.
But one thing is certain: when he killed her after she removed his mask, he didn't know that "Sang Xuanqing" and his wife "Zheng Quchi" were the same person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.
“Sang Xuanqing, you are not Zheng Quchi, you have no right to ask me to break my principles for you.”
If we interpret this statement in reverse, does it mean that... only Zheng Quchi has the right to make him break his principles?
This idea made Zheng Quchi shudder, and he quickly stopped himself from having such an unrealistic thought.
People can be narcissistic, but they shouldn't be blindly narcissistic!
He retorted, "Then do you keep your word?"
Zheng Quchi was speechless for a moment.
She seemed rather forgetful; she didn't quite remember what she had promised Yuwen Sheng, who was known as "Liu Fengmian." If it came down to a matter of life and death, she couldn't go back on her word.
Besides, she only wanted to cling to life for the time being. She still needed to find a way to get a divorce. She didn't want to be tied to a living devil who would kill his wife at the drop of a hat for the rest of her life.
Unable to get a direct answer from her, Yuwen Sheng stared at her, as if he was thinking about something and was quite concerned.
Although Zheng Quchi could not fathom his thoughts, he instinctively sensed that he was angry, or about to become angry.
Her breathing stopped, and a sense of crisis made her take a step back. However, before she could take that step back completely, he reached out and grabbed her.
When Zheng Quchi tensed up, thinking he was about to do something, he simply took her with him and left.
Naturally, no one dared to stop him.
"All hands on deck—"
At his command, a chilling aura instantly gathered, and the entire Ye Kingdom once again stood at attention, ready to unleash a massacre at any moment.
Once his gaze left Zheng Quchi, he reverted to his usual enigmatic self, Yuwen Sheng.
He wanted to destroy the city and massacre the inhabitants, to intimidate the Julu Kingdom and other invading countries with absolute bloodshed and force, so that they would tremble with fear whenever they mentioned the name "Yuwen Sheng".
Therefore, once he started, he had no intention of stopping.
"Wait a moment!"
Zheng Quchi quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, silencing the word "kill" from his throat.
Yuwen Sheng stared at her intently.
His eyes were like those of a venomous snake. Although Zheng Quchi was afraid, he still forced himself to say, "Don't shoot the arrows."
Yuwen Sheng pulled her hand down and held it in his palm, as if waiting for her to give a reason to stop. Zheng Quchi said, "Didn't you say that you would let them go when you saw Madam?"
Madam?!
The people of Fenggusha City around her were all wide-eyed when they heard her words. The previously unclear relationship between the two had finally been revealed.
This...this woman is the general's wife that Yuwen Sheng has been searching for?
