Chapter 189 Assassination

The reason why Yuan County became the capital of Bai Ye for a long time was largely because Yuan County, as a place for growing grain, had better conditions than other places.

Therefore, Bai Ye also felt that this place was suitable for doing business.

After Yun Zhuan came back, he became much quieter. After Bai Ye asked Su Yue'an about the reason, he roughly understood a lot.

But Bai Ye seemed a little overwhelmed. He was already old, but he didn't look that old.

However, inside, it was truly rotten. Outsiders did not know it, but Bai Ye was very clear about it.

Therefore, he understood that he did not have much time to teach Yun Zhuan'an and make her a qualified queen of Nanzhao.

"What are you doing?" Bai Ye looked at Yun Zhuan, who was drowsy and listening to the rain in the corridor.

The previous summer heat wave caught everyone off guard, but fortunately the rainy days came quickly, which made the people of Yuan County breathe a sigh of relief.

Yun Juan closed his eyes, which were hazy with sleepiness: "I am listening to the human heart in the sound of rain."

Bai Ye was silent for a long time before he said, "Did you hear that clearly?"

Neither of them spoke, but Bai Ye knew clearly that Yun Zhuan was not yet a qualified queen. She seemed to be at ease, but in fact it was because she didn't care.

As an ordinary citizen, Aunt Liu, whose ancestors were farmers, had just met Yun Zhuan for a short time, but the relationship between the two had already been really close.

Like friends, like a ruler and his subjects, they appreciate each other and feel that they have a lot in common.

In Bai Ye's opinion, such friendship between people of different ages is normal.

The abnormal thing is that Yun Zhuan has a compassionate heart that is different from that of someone her age.

Too deep to accept the death of others.

Maybe it's just a one-time acquaintance, or maybe it's a long-time friend, but no matter who it is, as long as he is sincere to Yun Zhuan.

There will inevitably be some connection between the two parties.

Therefore, Yun Zhuan's ability to hear the voice of others' hearts, coupled with her emotional support, will always cause her pain in the end.

The pain comes from the powerlessness and her perceived incompetence.

Yun Zhuan's eyes were clear as he looked at Bai Ye with a sad look, but his voice was very soft:

"I can't hear. The chaos in the world is too noisy and disturbs my heart. I can't hear them and can't save their true love for me."

Bai Ye sighed, then rubbed Yun Zhuan's head:

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The mission that Ye Xiang shoulders is heavier than that of others."

"You don't have to put too many restrictions on yourself. You are not a god and you can't save everyone in the world."

Yun Zhuan nodded and forced a smile: "I know, I don't want to save..."

"It's just that feeling of being alive yesterday and dying the next moment, that has always bound me."

Yun Zhu looked at Bai Ye calmly: "Sir, I know what you said is right, but you are just an ordinary person, and you are also trying your best to save whoever you can."

"Including me, so..."

"Mr. Bai, thank you very much."

After Yun Ju'an finished speaking, he tried his best to smile at Bai Ye.

At first glance, Bai Ye thought that the woman he had fallen in love with when he was in his prime was alive again, but he was sober and quickly recovered:

"We have been busy lately and don't have much time left. Let's infiltrate Yingdu as soon as possible. In two days, when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, Yingdu will be a feast, and we can seize it!"

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Yingdu’s defenses are very strict, because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will definitely be some slackness.

As long as there is a small loophole, this will be the opportunity Bai Ye has been waiting for many years.

"Nan Yao, I am sorry for forcing you to take over the burden. That is why you are in so much pain."

Seeing Yun Zhuan was about to get up and leave, Bai Ye finally said this.

The original teacher-student relationship between the two was suddenly as far apart as a chasm. They were so close yet so far away.

Yun Zhuan turned her head, the sunlight shone on half of her face. The bright light made her look like the Buddha holding a flower and showing compassion for the world.

"Sir, there is no turning back for us."

After saying that, she turned and left.

There are many things on the road ahead, and I don’t pray for everything to be smooth sailing, but I just hope that my friends who pass by will be safe and have a stable life.

The rain got heavier at night, pouring down rain. Purple-blue lightning flashed across the sky, tearing the night in half.

The rumbling sound was like that of a beast, waking up the sleeping adults.

Huge raindrops fell on the eaves and roof of the house, and the cold air made Yun Ju'an wrap himself tightly.

Outside, she didn't know if she had heard it wrongly, but it sounded like someone was arguing, or even fighting.

Is anyone fighting?

Yun Zhuan felt uneasy and called softly, "Duhuo?"

"Living alone?"

She screamed again and again, and finally she felt as if she was falling into an ice cellar.

What about living alone?

She won't be gone!

Yun Zhuan stood up immediately and just as his feet stepped on the soft wool blanket, he smelled a pungent smell of blood.

A large area surged towards her.

Yun Ju'an was stunned for a moment before he saw who was coming.

It is living alone.

Duhuo was cold and shaky as he knelt on one knee. The bloody smell on his body could not be concealed.

"Miss, I'm here."

She fell headfirst into Yun Ju'an's arms, which made Yun Ju'an extremely panicked. The last time Lu'e fell into her arms like this, she never lived again.

"Someone come, someone go get the doctor!" Yun Zhuan almost shouted as he said this.

The people outside were making so much noise that Yun Zhuan couldn't see clearly how they took Duhuo away from her hands and how they comforted her so coldly.

After a long while, Su Yu'an finally came out of the night: "Jiao Jiao, how do you feel now?"

Yun Ju'an frowned, then raised his eyes to look at Su Yue'an: "How is it, is Duhuo okay?"

"It should be fine. Fortunately, Duhuo is in good health and the bleeding has stopped."

Su Yu'an also sat on the carpet to accompany Yun Yu'an: "Are you frightened?"

Yun Juan shook his head: "I'm not scared, I'm just worried about Duhuo. What happened tonight?"

Su Yu'an held Yun Ju'an's cold hand in his palm: "Jiao Jiao, don't be afraid."

"The Infernal Guards are here, but they are few in number. You should be thankful that Duhuo has been practicing hard every day since he left Qinghe Village last time. Only in this way can you fight them. However, you are injured."

"Don't call out the Dragon Guard any more recently. We need to preserve our strength as much as possible."

Yun Zhuan stood up slowly and said, "Doesn't Beichu still have industries in Yuanjun?"

"I'll go get it tomorrow morning."

"Do you understand?"

Su Yu'an stood up immediately afterward: "I understand."

The two of them are now grasshoppers on a rope. Su Yu'an understands that this is an opportunity, an opportunity for her to be accepted by Nanzhao.
