Shen Yuanbai raised his head and looked directly at Qiao Bo when he heard that. At this time, Qiao Bo stood up.

His expression suddenly became very solemn, and he said with a sullen face: "Master Shen, my action at the South City Gate this time is equivalent to establishing the name of Princess Yu Liu in the hearts of the people of the Northern Kingdom. Miss made this plan, and she was also prepared in her heart."

"The young lady specifically asked me to tell Master Shen after the matter is accomplished that Yu Liu can become famous in the Northern Kingdom today because the Northern Kingdom has been lingering for so many years thanks to Yu Liu. The young lady had no choice but to take this expedient measure for the Northern Expedition."

"But for the Yong Dynasty, Yu Liu's crimes are extremely heinous and unforgivable, so the Northern Expedition must be launched. The young lady will petition the emperor to make all of Yu Liu's conspiracies and crimes known to the world, including the people of the Northern Kingdom at that time."

"Justice is in the heart of the people, and the judgment of good and evil is also in the heart of the people. The people of the Northern Kingdom have received Yu Liu's kindness, but the innocent people of the Yong Dynasty have suffered Yu Liu's evil. In the Yong Dynasty, she should be notorious and reviled by everyone!"

At this point, even Job couldn't help but feel emotional.

That year in the Huguo Temple, he had witnessed with his own eyes the evil that Yu Liu had committed. Those young warriors who had been deeply poisoned by him have never been brought back to life.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the children rescued from the cellar were still very young, and after nearly two years of careful care, they finally turned back into what children should be.

But can the pain in their young hearts be completely healed? I'm afraid it's extremely difficult.

Before setting off, the young lady had not hidden anything from him and had already told him everything that Yu Liu had done. Helping Yu Liu go against their original intentions, but even so, he and the young lady still agreed on this plan.

Because in this way, the people of the North would be completely alienated from King Jin Yu without bloodshed, and the foundation of the North would be easily shaken.

He had fought on the battlefield and knew that this would mean fewer soldiers would die in the Northern Expedition of the Yong Dynasty, and he was even more aware of how fewer broken families would be reduced.

Having said that, Job has completed all the tasks of this trip.

After listening to Qiao Bo's indignant words, Shen Yuanbai nodded silently without saying anything more.

When Qiao Bo saw this, he knew it was time to say goodbye. He was concerned about the situation in Wuding and at this moment he wished he could travel a thousand miles a day to get back to the general.

"Mr. Shen, do you have anything you want me to convey?"

Shen Yuanbai nodded when he heard this, and finally spoke in an extremely calm voice.

"Please tell Qiao Jiaojiao not to forget the promise we made to each other. I hope she can come to the capital of the Northern Kingdom on the day when the Northern Expedition is concluded."

"I will wait for her here, and witness the final freedom."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bo frowned slightly, looked at Shen Yuanbai suspiciously, and finally nodded.

"I will definitely bring it to you. Goodbye."

Qiao Bo turned around and left quickly. When he walked out of the house, he saw Yinzhu standing in the distance with a worried look on her face, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Qiao Bo withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, quickly pushed open the gate, and disappeared into the long street.

Seeing this, Yinzhu dared to walk forward and came to the door.

"Sir?"

Yinzhu called out softly, her words filled with uneasiness and fear.

Shen Yuanbai came back to his senses from his meditation, turned around and saw Yinzhu's face which was swollen and deformed. He frowned and walked forward.

"Yinzhu, why didn't you go to see the wound?"

Yinzhu shook her head, and when she saw Shen Yuanbai coming over, she bent her knees and hurriedly knelt down.

Shen Yuanbai raised his hand and held the silver bead steadily.

"No need to kneel, Yinzhu, you are right. Although the plan has changed, the result is better than expected-"

"Sir, you must live well, live happily, live freely, and live for yourself, okay?"

Yinzhu suddenly choked up and interrupted Shen Yuanbai's words.

Shen Yuanbai was stunned when he heard this, but Yinzhu was already crying.

"Sir, is it the Qiao family? What did you hear from the Qiao family? Is it related to the young lady from the Qiao family that you insisted on meeting?"

"Back then in Nanli, after you met with the Qiao family, you were very different when you came back. I saw it with my own eyes. Although I didn't understand, I could see your pain and hesitation."

"Sir, you are such an introverted person. Once your emotions are revealed, I know that the pain in your heart is probably far beyond imagination."

"Just now after that Qiao family member left, you stood in this room, so quiet that it frightened me."

When Yinzhu said this, she suddenly grabbed Shen Yuanbai's right forearm.

This action was already extremely beyond the line for her, but Yinzhu no longer cared.

She eagerly rolled up Shen Yuanbai's sleeves, but when she saw that there was only a white talisman hidden inside, Yinzhu was stunned for a moment.

Just now, the young master was staring at his sleeve in a daze. She thought...she thought there was a dagger hidden inside...

Shen Yuanbai noticed Yinzhu's expression, he slowly withdrew his hand and put down his sleeves.

"Yinzhu, don't let your imagination run wild. Why should I give up my life?"

Yinzhu stared at Shen Yuanbai in a daze, feeling ashamed of her own recklessness and vaguely uneasy at the same time.

At this time, Shen Yuanbai said calmly: "There are no eternal enemies in the world. Cooperation with the Qiao family just happens to be because we have the same aspirations."

"Let's go, Yinzhu. If I don't go, you might not want to treat your injury properly."

As Shen Yuanbai spoke, he walked past Yinzhu and walked into the yard first.

Yinzhu turned around and looked at the back of the young man in front of her, her worries growing deeper.

There was more worldly air and humanity about the young man, like a banished immortal who had finally fallen into the mortal world. But why did she always feel a sense of twilight and desolation as the sun set?

There was no sound of footsteps behind him. Shen Yuanbai did not turn around, but just urged softly: "Yinzhu?"

Yinzhu was distracted and hurried to catch up.

She followed closely behind Shen Yuanbai, and after a while she suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Sir, no matter where the road under your feet leads, you will not be alone."

Shen Yuanbai paused slightly when he heard this, then took another step without answering.

That evening.

When Li Ji heard about the incident at the South City Gate from A Duo, her face turned pale. When she heard that Che Zhaohua had hanged himself, she let out a low cry of surprise.

"Did they...did they know that Che Zhaohua was pregnant?" Li Ji asked hurriedly.

Ah Duo immediately shook her head, "My Lady, this matter has not been mentioned."

Li Ji stood up, holding her stomach, still looking uneasy.

"No, no, today's news about Che Zhaohua is very strange. Even if the old fox King Jinshun can't react for a while, he will definitely become suspicious after some time."

"Once he discovers the truth, this lady and the child will be in danger."

Li Ji turned around with a frown on her face, then suddenly stopped and looked anxious.

"No, no, no, even if King Jinshun has not discovered the truth, if he gets the throne, I will still die a miserable death."

"Aduo, the plan has changed. Hurry up and hide that thing. Your Majesty... Your Majesty cannot lose it for the time being!"

Li Ji clenched her hands tightly, feeling resentful in her heart.

She had already made plans and was only waiting for the baby in her belly to grow a little bigger before taking action. However, she didn't expect that all the ugly things done by that stupid guy would be dug up, and she lost the support of the people!

When Li Ji heard what A Duo had just said, she completely believed what Shen Yuanbai and Yin Zhu said, because she knew best about Prince Jin Yu's perversion. He still calls "Ling'er" while lying on the bed!

The situation is becoming increasingly difficult. How can she survive?

Now, let alone that position, it is extremely difficult to keep her life, so let her think about it carefully...

Li Ji was worried sick when another personal maid, Aqiao, suddenly ran into the hall in a hurry, seeming to have something in her arms.

She didn't dare to approach Li Ji rashly, so she just knelt down from a distance and whispered, "My lady, someone just put a letter in my hand, saying that it can help my lady survive."

"I dare not take the letter carelessly, but I am worried that it is a trick of other concubines to harm Your Majesty. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ji suddenly looked up, her heart full of vigilance yet a hint of expectation.

"A desperate situation?"
