The next night, Huangfu Renhe's natal star suddenly showed a very bad sign, and it was a fire disaster, which was more disastrous than good.
I immediately ran to find Sai Huatuo, who had also noticed this unusual celestial phenomenon. Even the old man from the frontier and Gu Mutian knew about it. The most urgent thing was to go and rescue them.
Sai Hua Tuo insisted that Leng Yue stay, and I didn't want her to go either. So everyone went out, leaving only Leng Yue behind.
He thought it was safest to keep her in Chunfengdeyi Palace, but unexpectedly, Shi Qiuyan plotted to kidnap Leng Yue, and Shi Jiajun escaped from prison.
"I shouldn't have left her here alone..." Sai Huatuo's face turned pale and he walked out of the dungeon without saying a word.
I was speechless for a long time and followed closely.
"I'm fine, I just need some quiet time," he said.
Although Sai Huatuo tried his best to hold it back, I could still hear the trembling in his voice.
"You're afraid Shi Qiuyan will do that to your sister..."
Sai Hua Tuo said nothing.
"What does it matter? Do you really mind that much?"
He shook his head: "It's not me who minds, it's her who minds."
Hearing him say that, I also remembered what happened that day. Thinking of her suppressed crying, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Then I can only ask God for help."
Fortunately, Shi Qiuyan didn't do anything to her. Before noon, Leng Yue came back and said that the Shi family army would leave Sifang City soon.
With someone like Sai Hua Tuo taking care of me, I don't think I have anything to worry about. The weather is getting colder, so I need to buy some more things. So I went back to the dark room, got some banknotes, and went out.
As soon as I left the house, I ran into Shi Jiajun. Thirty or forty of them were in a very sorry state, their clothes covered in blood.
"Master Nong Yue, please save our general!" one of them said.
I went forward and saw that Shi Qiuyan had already fallen into a coma. I couldn't help but feel secretly happy and said with a smile, "You have gone against me time and time again, why should I save you?"
"Because of our general and Miss Leng Yue..."
"What did you say? Say it again?"
The subordinate immediately shut up and dared not say anything more.
I snorted coldly, "Chunfengdeyi Palace belongs to me, and Miss Lengyue has no say in the matter. You are not qualified to talk to me about favors. If you want to live, just follow me obediently."
After hearing this, these guys really became much more obedient. So, I brought the Shi family cat back to Chunfengdeyi Palace.
First, he ordered two brothers from the Dark Clothes Team: "Carry Shi Qiuyan to the old man at the border."
Then he instructed the twenty brothers: "The guest rooms are full, take them to the dungeon to rest first. The rest of you, follow me to the pharmacy to get medicine."
Then, I went to the pharmacy to get the healing medicine and solemnly handed it to the soldiers around me: "This is the golden medicine that Master Ouyang made for me last year when he treated the Dragon Soul knife wound. Give it to them quickly. Saving lives is the most important thing."
"Yes!" My brothers took the medicine bottle very carefully, and I chuckled to myself. Haha, some special gold healing medicine? It's just nonsense. I didn't expect Bantianyue to be so impatient, to cross the river and burn the bridge so quickly. God really helps me, it's all effortless.
After reporting this to Huangfu Renhe, I rushed to the General's Mansion. It was a mess, with corpses strewn across the ground. I carefully surveyed the scene, making sure there were no survivors before leaving.
With "Master Ouyang's special golden medicine," it's much easier to sow discord or win people over. After two attempts, we finally determined that the Shi family army can be used by us.
So the declaration of war was quickly issued, and the decisive battle would take place three days later.
Everything is going better than expected. Bantianyue, it looks like your time is up.
Sai Huatuo and I discussed the formation on the terrace. This time we must wipe out the Shenyue Sect in one fell swoop.
The silver disk hung in the sky, bright and hazy. I felt more relaxed and happy than ever before.
"Today's event really kills two birds with one stone," I said.
"I just hope all the troubles will be over as soon as possible," he said.
"Nong Yue used to think that competing with Hua Tuo in wits and courage was the happiest thing in life, but I never expected that sharing a common enemy could also be a great joy in life."
"I feel the same way. If you have a rival in life, your life will be worthwhile; if you have a true friend in life, you will die without regrets."
I suddenly felt that being alive was truly a beautiful thing. Perhaps, life wasn't just about revenge. There were many, many beautiful things, like... the heart.
"Sai Hua Tuo, after this rebirth, I want to live well, for everyone around me, and for... myself."
I am telling the truth.
Sai Huatuo patted my shoulder and said with a smile, "It's good that you think so."
I smiled brightly.
Leng Yue brought us some midnight snacks, chatted with us for a while, and then left. I fanned myself and said jokingly, "Holding your hand, what else could I ask for?"
Sai Huatuo sighed: "If I were not here, would her life be easier?"
He is a sentimental man, not as carefree as he looks. Since the ending is already determined, why worry about it and forget the beauty of the present?
I gave him a few words of comfort, but whether he listened or not depended on him.
Suddenly I feel a little lucky that I didn't have it. It's better to have nothing than to worry about gains and losses.
By the time the battle formation was finalized, it was already midnight. As Sai Huatuo and I walked back, chatting and laughing, I saw Leng Yue standing in the courtyard.
"Yue'er, why haven't you rested yet?" Sai Huatuo asked.
Leng Yue smiled gently: "I miss you."
I patted Sai Huatuo's shoulder happily and said, "Holding your hand, what else can I ask for? Haha..." I walked away while laughing and waving a fan.
He didn't listen to what I said just now, but he might listen to it this time.
Instead of being afraid of losing, it is better to cherish what you have.

The next morning, Shi Qiuyan woke up, refused to eat or drink, and insisted on seeing Leng Yue.
I tried to persuade him with good intentions, but he was stubborn. I couldn't persuade him, so I told Leng Yue.
"I don't want to see him," she said.
However, both Sai Huatuo and the old man from the frontier said that she should go to see him, so Leng Yue went reluctantly. As soon as they met, she was really furious and scolded Shi Qiuyan so badly that he was completely humiliated.
I've seen Leng Yue's temper before. She's always been a good person, but it's only when she's facing Shi Qiuyan that she loses control. She screams hysterically, her face pale. Sai Hua Tuo quickly seals her heart meridians and says to me, "Young Master Nong Yue, I'll leave this to you."
I nodded.
Sai Huatuo picked up Leng Yue and took her back to her room. I walked to the bed, patted Shi Qiuyan, and said, "Hey, she's gone."
Shi Qiuyan's opening words immediately impressed me. He actually asked, "What did I do wrong?"
"Do you think you're good to her?" I asked.
"I think...it's pretty good." Shi Qiuyan said.
"Did she ever tell me whether you were nice to her or not?" I asked again.
Shi Qiuyan shook his head blankly.
I smacked my lips helplessly: "Oh my, we've been in love for a year, but you don't even know what your beloved thinks of you. Leng Yue said so much, can't you reflect on yourself?"
"Maybe, maybe she thinks I'm not good enough for her, otherwise we wouldn't have broken up."
I finally understand Leng Yue's feelings a little bit. It's really hard not to get angry with him. However, fortunately, I still have some patience.
So I said:
"You know Leng Yue's character better than the rest of us. Now that she's treating you like this, what's the reason? Can a simple statement like 'not treating her well enough' really explain everything?"
"Anyway, you're injured now and can't go anywhere. If you really want to know the answer, you might as well take this opportunity to think about it carefully."
"With Leng Yue's current temper, you'd better not provoke her and just eat your food obediently."
After hearing what I said, Shi Qiuyan finally calmed down a bit. I didn't linger any longer and decided to go see how Leng Yue was doing. Before I even reached the door, I heard Leng Yue's hoarse, tearful voice shouting, "Ouyang Mingri, you scoundrel... scoundrel..."
What's going on?
Then, Sai Huatuo pushed the door open and came out. Leng Yue was still in the room shouting "Bad guy...bad guy..."
Thinking of how Sai Huatuo and the old man from the frontier tried their best to persuade Leng Yue to see Shi Qiuyan, and how the poison took effect after Leng Yue saw Shi Qiuyan, I seemed to understand something.
"Does it have to be like this?" I asked.
Sai Huatuo sighed: "I don't want her to get hurt because of me again."
This time it was Leng Yue's turn to refuse to eat, and even Shangguan Yan couldn't persuade her.
"I'll go take a look," I said.
Sai Huatuo handed me a steamed bun. I took it and pushed open Leng Yue's door.
Leng Yue was leaning weakly against the edge of the bed. Seeing me coming, she raised her eyelids and said, "It's so cold, close the door."
I walked to the bedside and asked with a smile, "Sister, your quarrel with Sai Hua Tuo won't involve Nong Yue, right?"
"That's not the case," she said.
"Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm not only hungry, but also greedy. Unfortunately, I don't dare to eat."
"Then eat this. Don't let Nong Yue's kindness go to waste." I handed the steamed bun to her.
Leng Yue smiled and shook her head.
"Sister, aren't you angry with Nong Yue?"
"I'm not mad at you, I'm just afraid you'll drug me."
I looked innocent: "Nong Yue and my sister are of the same mind. Besides, even if you don't eat, your internal energy won't recover."
"But if I eat it, I will definitely not be able to recover."
"Why did you think Nong Yue would drug you?"
"A gentleman will die for his friend. He has such good intentions, how could you not help him?"
I gently squeezed the bun in my hand and sniffed it calmly. Sure enough, a significant dose of the dispersing potion had been administered. It seemed Sai Hua Tuo was determined to extract Leng Yue this time, just as I had excluded my brother from my revenge plan.
Sai Huatuo was right to wish Leng Yue well. But Leng Yue's desire to live and die with Sai Huatuo wasn't excessive either. Having experienced the separation of life and death, I was more inclined to agree with Leng Yue's sentiments.
So, I decided to help her.
"No, you have your mission, so don't bother with me," she said.
"But if that happens, my sister won't be able to stand with Sai Hua Tuo."
Leng Yue smiled and leaned close to my ear, whispering, "Go and ask my master, the old man from the border."
I handed the bun back to Sai Huatuo with a smile: "Sister is very smart. She knew you drugged her and refused to eat it."
Sai Huatuo sighed unhappily.
"According to Nong Yue, although Ban Tian Yue is powerful now, the combination of Dragon Soul Phoenix Blood and Wu Qing Wu Self is also extremely powerful. If they can fight side by side, the chances of victory will be greatly increased. How about..."
"No," he said.
"Things may not be as serious as you think."
He still insisted, “No.”
I also sighed: "I'm going to ask the old senior from the frontier to treat my sister's injuries. Goodbye."
Comparing to Hua Tuo, it is very difficult to live alone. I would rather Leng Yue die than you live alone.
So this time, I'm on her side.
Unexpectedly, the old man from the border was also unwilling to help.
"Xiao Yue'er, it's not that your master doesn't want to help you, but there is a destiny in the dark. First, the time has not come yet, and second, there is someone else who can help you out, so..."
"Yes, Xiaoyueer knows." Leng Yue had no choice but to say this.
There was nothing I could do but ask her if she still wanted to eat.
"No need," she said.
"Sister, you gave up so quickly." I was a little disappointed.
She smiled weakly: "Just help me get some medicine to treat my internal injuries."
