There was silence in the room, and outside the house, the villagers were wailing.

Hong Xiaobao stood at the door, his eyes deathly silent.

His eyes moved from Lu Ji, Yu Xingyan, and Hong Tian to the villagers. His lips trembled, but in the end he said nothing.

Yu Xingyan's eyes were complicated.

What he said at the dinner table seemed to be unintentional, but everyone present could sense the problem.

At that time, Hong Tian tried to fool him, but they were already suspicious, and then looking at his performance, they became more and more sure of their inner guess.

Yu Xingyan didn't know whether Hong Xiaobao was fully aware of what Hong Tian had done, but she guessed that he probably knew it well.

In the past, when he was young and ignorant, he might not understand it yet. As he gets older, he slowly begins to notice problems.

There is really too little that a child can do.

His reminder today is a reflection of his lingering conscience.

After all, Hong Tian had raised him for many years. Even though this man had done many cruel and dehumanizing things, Hong Xiaobao was protected by him, so how could he really ignore him and watch him die at the hands of Lu Ji?

After struggling, he finally rushed to Qingping Village and brought in reinforcements.

Yu Xingyan is not a holy mother, but if she is asked to kill a young child, she cannot do it. After thinking for a while, he posed the problem to Lu Ji.

Lu Ji softened his expression and lowered his eyes to look at the boy who stayed where he was.

"I won't kill you."

"You go."

Hong Xiaobao struggled on his face, his hands curled up in pain, and after a while, he ran out without looking back.

Yu Xingyan looked at Lu Ji, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Although Lu Ji didn't say it clearly, she could barely guess what it meant.

He relies on his own strength, so how can he be afraid of others' revenge? The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and there is no possibility of rebelling.

Hong Xiaobao was still young, so it was better to let him go than to eradicate him. If he takes the wrong path in the future, it won't be too late to kill him.

That's how it is to be lenient and fierce at the same time.

"What to do with these villagers?"

Yu Xingyan pointed at everyone in the courtyard, undecided.

Lu Ji closed his eyes, turned around and walked to Hong Tian's house, dug out some dry mugwort from under his bed, drove the villagers into the house, and used all Hong Tian's tricks on everyone.

When there was no more movement in the room, the two looked at each other and felt relieved.

The morning light showed slightly, and the first drumbeat to announce the dawn came from the city gate of Yunzhou. The captains rubbed their sleepy eyes and forced themselves to go on duty.

As soon as they opened the city gate, they found a young man and woman standing at the front of the team.

The appearance is extremely outstanding, and the bearing is quite extraordinary.

In the distance, the clouds were steaming, and the scorching golden light broke through the clouds and poured down, casting behind the two of them, as if they were covered with golden robes.
