Rain fell in the Miao region in autumn, and the rain felt cool on my skin.
Zheng Sixuan walked step by step toward the room. He didn't know how long he walked, but he felt as if this trip had exhausted all his strength.
Life is so tiring, maybe I should just... end it all.
Zheng Sixuan put down the medicine and opened the note Ji Ying had given him. It read: "Gu worms can control War Wolf Falcons. We tampered with some of the Gu worms in Miao territory before. They will be tuned to the following tune."
If you play this tune, and let the beasts that Ji Linyuan brought back attack the Miao people, You Sijin will definitely kill Ji Linyuan to eliminate future troubles.
We can then take advantage of the chaos and reap the benefits.
After reading it, Zheng Sixuan ground the inkstone himself, turned the paper over, and wrote a few words.
The next day, taking advantage of the break while delivering food, she secretly placed the note in Si Jin's room, under the cups on his table.
In the evening, he took his night clothes and went to find Ji Ying.
He reported, "Master, it's all my fault for being careless. You Sijin found the note. Let's hurry, every one of us who can escape is a chance."
"You piece of trash, after four years as a spy, this is all you've got? You still have the nerve to say that..." At this point, Ji Ying reached out and almost slapped Zheng Sixuan across the face.
But after thinking about it, he realized he had to rely on him now, so he had no choice but to agree to wait until he escaped and then find a way to save his father.
So he changed into night clothes, disguised himself as Zheng Sixuan's guard, and followed behind Zheng Sixuan toward the city gate.
… …
Meanwhile, Si Jin, who had sent people to track Zheng Sixuan, and Ji Linyuan split up and began... the final hunt.
[Master] Little Yao stood with her hands on her hips, completely bewildered: [If the spies can't find out Ji Ying's plan, I can go myself, so why won't you let me?]
【I've found out, so you won't have to stay up all night on the city wall in the wind.】
Once you know everything about a life-or-death struggle, the fun is gone.
Si Jin toyed with the silver unicorn mask, still dressed in black, leaning against the city wall, the spider lily pattern on her cloak swaying in the wind, looking down at the two people riding towards the city gate.
His eyes were red with excitement as he continued, "The original being of this plane has been setting up a scheme for a year using mortal methods, just waiting to close the net now. If you get involved, isn't that just a case of dimensional reduction?"
Using divine power and systems all the time is boring; using your brain to outsmart them is much more novel.
After saying that, Si Jin slightly raised his hand: "Archers, prepare!"
As soon as he spoke, all the soldiers around him drew their bows and aimed them at Zheng Sixuan at the door.
Zheng Sixuan managed to open the city gate and watched as Ji Ying rode away on horseback, so he climbed onto the city wall himself.
Si Jin wasn't worried that Ji Ying would escape, because Ji Linyuan was already waiting outside the city with his War Wolf cavalry to crush him.
He shot the arrow to kill Zheng Sixuan, because even the most intelligent and virtuous person has no value in staying if they betray him.
Moreover, although Zheng Sixuan had been tricked into spreading false information over the years, he had never stopped working for Ji Ying. He would not keep such a person around.
Si Jin was simply curious about what Zheng Sixuan was doing on the city wall.
Zheng Sixuan escaped the pursuit of the soldiers at the city gate and climbed the city wall, seemingly never expecting that the young master would be there.
Looking at the countless arrows aimed at Si Jin behind him, Zheng Sixuan felt no fear whatsoever. Instead, he seemed to have been relieved of something. He lowered his head and respectfully bowed to Si Jin.
Then, without saying a word, he turned around and jumped off the three-zhang-high city wall.
Perhaps, for someone like him, death is the true destination and liberation.
Zheng Sixuan thought: He did not carry out Ji Ying's plan and returned the favor of delivering the medicine to the young master.
He let Ji Ying leave, and in doing so, he gave Ji Ying his own life.
He has finally paid back everything he owed in this world...
