On the battlefield
Sima Huan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly let out a maniacal laugh, which grew louder and louder, reaching the ears of everyone present.
Mu Chengyu and his group became wary, while Mo Zhantian and his group looked completely bewildered.
Sima Huan laughed as he shouted, "What are you ants? You dare to dream of killing me? It's utterly ridiculous!"
"If it weren't for my leadership in unifying the world and ending nearly a thousand years of war between the seven kingdoms, you wouldn't have the peaceful and prosperous life you enjoy today."
"Hahaha......\\\"
"Several hundred years ago, I unified the world and saved the people from suffering. My achievements will last for a thousand years."
"You have all received favors from me, yet now you wish to kill me? Are you not ungrateful wretches? How laughable, how laughable..."
After he finished speaking, another burst of wild laughter swept across the entire battlefield.
Hahahaha...
Sima Huan sat up, looking down with disdain, and said, "How could you ants possibly dare to lay a finger on me?"
After speaking, he committed suicide.
Everyone present was deeply shocked and their emotions were in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.
Tao Wuqing, who had approached, originally wanted to check on the two people fighting because she felt the surge of blood within her. She wondered if they were her ancestors or their clansmen. However, she never expected to hear Sima Huan's words.
Tao Wuqing then withdrew her gaze from Mu Qing.
He then looked at Sima Huan, who was lying on the ground, already dead.
Tao Wuqing couldn't bear it, so she stepped out from the crowd, bowed deeply to Mu Chengyu, and said, "Your Highness, may I be allowed to collect his body?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chengyu looked at Tao Wuqing with some confusion. Tao Wuqing sighed and explained, "Our ancestor had a connection with him."
Just as Mu Chengyu was about to nod in agreement, Ji Wushuang stepped forward and advised, "Your Highness, you must not. This person has connections with that villain and cannot be trusted."
"In my opinion, he should be arrested and interrogated immediately to prevent him from having any ulterior motives."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chengyu felt somewhat embarrassed.
Tao Wuqing's senior brother, Gu Jixuan, pushed through the crowd and protected Tao Wuqing behind him.
As Tao Wuqing listened to Ji Wushuang's doubts and looked at the hesitation on Mu Chengyu's face, he thought about his friendship with Mu Chengyu for more than ten years, and about how he had devoted himself to treating the wounded day and night on the battlefield...
Scenes flashed through his mind, and he felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He lowered his head and silently shed tears.
Gu Jixuan noticed something amiss behind her and turned around. She saw her usually lively and cheerful junior brother, Tao Wuqing, silently shedding tears. Gu Jixuan felt a pang of heartache for him.
He pulled the man into his arms, patted his thin back, and gently coaxed him, "Don't cry, Wuqing, don't cry. Your senior brother is here, your senior brother is here..."
Upon hearing this, Wuqing not only failed to stop crying, but also couldn't help but hug Gu Jixuan and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Huangfu Hua felt a pang of pity and was about to say something when Mu Qing stepped out from behind Murong Yu and said firmly, "He didn't."
The gentle voice rang out, not loud, yet it reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield, resounding with power.
Upon hearing the sound, Tao Wuqing stopped crying.
He peeked out from Gu Jixuan's arms and turned to look at Mu Qing, who looked at him gently with a smile on her lips.
Tao Wuqing stared blankly at Mu Qing, the person who had been questioned by everyone before but had never uttered a word of explanation. Now, however, he was willing to stand up for her, a complete stranger, and speak out for justice. Tao Wuqing opened her mouth, and the question "Is he a member of our clan?" almost slipped out without thinking.
