“But the deadline is before noon,” Yuwen Sheng said slowly.
Zheng Quchi choked: "Actually, it's not a big deal if it's a little late..."
Seeing him staring into her eyes, his lips curving into a faint smile, neither confirming nor denying.
Zheng Quchi licked his lips and said in a low voice, "Let them go, let's go home."
Yuwen Sheng looked at her abruptly, thinking he had misheard.
He spoke slowly, his pronunciation was hesitant, but he spoke with unusual force.
Do you know what you're saying?
Zheng Quchi didn't continue on that topic, but instead said, "You're massacring the city in my name, but I'm timid and afraid of ghosts. I don't want to bear these bloody sins."
Yuwen Sheng quietly scrutinized her for a moment, then turned his head away.
Under the firelight, he looked at the ashen-faced people of Fenggusha City, the terrified soldiers of Julu Kingdom who had suffered countless casualties, and Mo Ye and the others who were staring at Zheng Quchi with disbelief.
Including the Ye army.
He spoke, his eyes beneath long lashes deep and unfathomable: "Very well, if my wife is willing to become a benevolent Buddha, then I will take back my butcher's knife for her, as a way of repaying Heaven for her safe passage."
Yuwen Sheng's words left those who had witnessed his cruelty and ruthlessness speechless, as if they had never met him before.
Even Wei Yao and Fu Rong, who knew him very well, stared at him in a daze.
They never imagined that a general who had never believed in God or Buddha would one day utter such a sentence.
By doing this, he was both announcing his wife's identity to everyone and elevating her status.
Those closest to Yuwen Sheng understood this best.
Yuwen Sheng looked in another direction: "Mo Ye, she's still alive, so I'll return her to you."
Others couldn't understand what he was saying, but Mo Ye understood it immediately.
Zheng Quchi survived naturally thanks to his sacred medicine, but it was unclear how Yuwen Sheng obtained the sacred medicine from her.
Yuwen Sheng used this city to repay all the favors Zheng Quchi had done for him, and from then on, the two would have no further connection.
Mo Ye was shocked.
This heartless and ruthless monster actually knows how to repay favors? Does he...do he really care about Zheng Quchi?
Impossible! This is far more terrifying than blood raining down from the sky!
Meanwhile, the military doctor, who was secretly hiding in the shadows, carefully wiped away the cold sweat that had broken out in his body.
Thank goodness, he made the right bet.
This cold-hearted devil has actually found a "sunflower" he wants to cherish.
