Liu Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Actually, my maternal grandmother's family was also a family of assassins. Some of their assassination techniques have become forbidden techniques. However, my mother felt it would be a pity if they were lost, so she taught them to me."
“That’s where it comes in handy.” Mu Run looked at her. “It must be something in your genes, you’re not afraid of killing at all.”
"Yes, this servant is not afraid at all, and even finds it very exciting!"
"..."
Mu Run paused for a moment, then continued, "I remember the first time I killed a soldier, I wasn't used to it for a while."
Liu Xiaohuan was a little confused. "A soldier? Is it a soldier?"
"It's different. The soldier is a dead person controlled by a black witch using witchcraft. Since he is a dead person, when he kills him, he doesn't feel like he is killing a living person, so he doesn't have any psychological burden, but he still vomited violently."
"Was he a dead person?"
"Yes, black magic can control the dead. Do you know why your king burns the corpses of the soldiers after conquering a city?"
"Could it be to prevent black witches from creating puppet soldiers?"
“Yes.” Mu Run nodded. “It’s not that your king is cruel; on the contrary, dying peacefully is also a form of mercy.”
"I see," Liu Xiaohuan said, suddenly understanding.
"Even without black magic, the corpses of the dead can easily cause plagues, posing a threat to the living."
Fu Yunchen brought over a bowl of vegetable porridge.
Liu Xiaohuan looked over, her eyes filled with adoration, "Your Majesty."
Fu Yunchen was slightly surprised, then nodded, "Go down."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Xiaohuan went out.
Fu Yunchen asked Mu Run, "What's wrong with this girl? She usually acts like she's seen a ghost when she sees me, but she's different today."
"I explained to her why you wanted to burn the body." Mu Run took the porridge from his hand.
"Oh? Why would I burn it?" Fu Yunchen asked.
"Firstly, to prevent black magic from causing trouble. Secondly, corpses can cause disease outbreaks."
"So it has these two functions too."
"Hmm?" Mu Run heard the tone in his voice. "Isn't that right?"
Fu Yunchen shook his head, "That was Qiao Dongzi's idea, I didn't interfere. But now that you mention it, it's actually a pretty good idea."
Mu Run: "..."
She's overthinking it!
This guy has never been kind.
...
Bai Shalu ordered his men to dig a secret passage through Yongzhou City. Looking at the deep, dark passage leading out of the city, he said to Qiao Dongzi, "I knew it! We couldn't find that deputy admiral; he must have escaped through here."
Qiao Dongzi nodded and asked secretly, "Should you go, or should I go?"
"I'll go," Bai Shalu said. "We can't let that little girl get too arrogant."
"You seem to care a lot about Xiao Huan," Qiao Dongzi said, looking at Bai Shalu with amusement. "And ever since that little girl came, you've been smiling more."
"What?" Bai Shalu looked at him in shock. "Don't talk nonsense. She is a proper daughter of an official."
She was the legitimate daughter of a prefectural governor, a proper noblewoman from a prominent family, a woman of high status. She was far superior to the daughters of ordinary minor officials.
"So what? When it comes to killing, you're no different from us江湖草寇 (jianghu bandits). Besides, when the princess ascends the throne, you'll be a nobleman, and you can marry any woman you want."
"I'm too lazy to waste words with you, I'm going to catch them." Bai Shalu led his men into the secret passage.
Qiao Dongzi waited outside and had someone check the surrounding area.
Before long, the sounds of fighting came from inside the cave. Qiao Dongzi frowned and went in as well.
