Chapter 375 The Second Biggest Villain Wu Lie

Dark clouds covered the moon, and the tent was completely silent and quiet.

In a tent not far from the emperor's tent, Wu Lie took off his shirt, wiped the blood off his body bit by bit with hot water, applied medicine again, and bandaged himself.

A series of movements, practiced until smooth.

In the light of the candle, the cross-shaped scar in the middle of the back became more and more clearly visible.

The mark left by the fire tongs, also known as the punishment of burning with fire, was originally a punishment for criminals in prison.

That year, King Cheng's younger brother, the Eleventh Prince, heard about it from somewhere and thought it was funny, so he had someone hold him down and tried to brand a mark on his face.

He knew very well what the brand represented, and he also knew that if he did not resist, he would only suffer more humiliation in the future.

Bad people never reflect on their own badness.

They will only enjoy your painful expression and look forward to you showing more painful expression.

With the help of some techniques taught by Gu Qingquan, he successfully escaped from those people, but he did not run away. He rushed towards the eleventh prince, intending to die with him.

It seemed that he was just one step away, just one step away, and he would be able to end these days of humiliation.

It was at this time that Gu Qingquan appeared.

The little man kicked the door open and stopped him.

Not for that person, but for him.

All of Wu Lie's anger and resentment disappeared in an instant when he saw her anxious look. However, just as he was about to follow her to the emperor to apologize, the eleventh prince grabbed the red-hot iron tool again and rushed towards them regardless.

Wu Lie's mind was blank at that moment. He knew that the man was only coming for him, but he was worried that he would accidentally hurt the people around him.

He pulled her in front of him and took the branding on her back.

Later, he was scolded by her.

"You could have avoided it, but you insisted on taking it. Are you stupid?!"

Wu Lie didn't dare to say it.

He could indeed dodge it, but he was more afraid that the Eleventh Prince would continue to go crazy with the branding iron. Many accidents happened this way.

Because she was by his side, he couldn't allow any accidents to happen.

Thanks to this injury, the Eleventh Prince restrained himself for a few days after being reprimanded, but he unexpectedly received her personal care.

She said, "I know you are doing this to protect me. But I am afraid this wound will leave a scar."

She added, "Actually, it's not ugly for a man to have a scar. Fortunately, it's on his back, so no one can see it."

She also said, "You have a birthmark on your waist, it's blue and looks like a flame, no wonder you're called Baililie."

…

Wu Lie's hand moved down along the scar and touched the blue birthmark.

The birthmark that looks like a blue flame is the mark of the seventh prince of Beichen.

He had thought about removing the mark completely, but he remembered what she had said about it.

He never missed the name Baililie, but he only missed the time he spent with her.

But when she actually recognized him and even tried to verify his identity, he backed off.

He wasn't ready to face her in that capacity yet.

…

On this side, after hearing the reason why Wu Lie changed his name, Si Linglong thought about Wu Lie's future fate and felt a little upset. She leaned her head into Helian Yue's arms and said in a muffled voice,

"Wu Lie is a good man."

Helian Yue held her shoulders and said in a deep voice, "I know."

[You don’t know.] Si Linglong thought gloomily.

After listening to the past between Wu Lie and Gu Qingquan and his past experiences, combined with his subsequent actions, Si Linglong suddenly understood.

[In the original novel, A Yue was murdered, and Sister Quan rushed into Linghua Palace with a knife, but was shot to death by Helian Tuo's men. ]

[Wu Lie led the remaining secret guards and fought desperately to retrieve the bodies of the two men. Of the three hundred secret guards, only thirty were left. Later, they disappeared completely.]

[Six years later, Wu Lie ascended the throne as the new emperor of Beichen, and his first order was to fight to the death with Dayuan.]

It took him six years to return to Beichen, the city that had abandoned him. He made a deal with his father, whom he once hated. For the sake of the king to whom he had sworn allegiance and for the woman whom he had secretly protected for many years, he endured pain that was unbearable for ordinary people, and finally got the right he wanted to compete with Helian Tuo.

However, in this novel with Helian Tuo as the male protagonist, even if Wu Lie returns covered in blood, he only exists as the second villain after Helian Yue to set off the male protagonist.

Finally,

Beichen destroyed the country and Wu Lie died miserably.

He still failed to avenge them.
