After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 209: Planting a Gu in her?

Chapter 209 Planting a Gu in her?

"Kill me!"

The Fifth Leader's army from Jicheng arrived very quickly. Almost as soon as they reached the designated location, they stormed into Lincheng from the east with overwhelming force.

Upon receiving the news, the Shucheng army immediately launched an attack, splitting into two groups to attack the city from the west and south respectively!

In just a quarter of an hour, they gained the upper hand in the battle against the Gu Guards in the city.

Even though the number and combat strength of the Gu Guards in Lincheng were still considerable, many soldiers were frightened by their gray eyes and ferocious faces.

After Baili Ming and Cui Yuanshu each led the charge in a fierce battle, no one felt that they were invincible anymore.

"Bang! Bang! Bang -"

The moment the city gate was smashed open, thousands of troops and horses galloped past!

The rapidly descending spear pierced and deflected body after body, followed by a barrage of slashes...

"Come on!"

"revenge!"

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"

Someone shouted, and a surge of murderous intent immediately spread among the comrades, slashing at each Gu Guard like a torrent of steel.

Some soldiers, blinded by rage, even engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Gu Guards...

Two hours later, the three armies gradually overcame all obstacles and converged on the city.

Baili Ming is like a swimming dragon; wherever it goes, mountains crumble and roads become smooth.

Cui Yuanshu's armor was shattered, so he simply took off one sleeve, exposing his shoulder, and hacked his way through the thorns until his muscular body was covered in blood.

The fifth leader advanced with unstoppable momentum, like a wheel rolling over dust, cutting down the Gu guards one by one.

After the sword in his hand had been changed three more times, the sounds of swords clashing within the city gradually subsided...

Watching the few remaining Gu Guards being captured by the soldiers, Baili Ming sat on his horse, looking at the Fifth Master across the distance, neither saying a word in tacit agreement.

"..." Looking down, he saw a horrifying sight of corpses scattered all over the ground.

There was not a single body they wanted to see, nor was there a single body they did not want to see.

"I'll go ask the people in the city," Cui Yuanshu said, not much of a surprise. Wang Qingyan had abandoned the entire Lincheng for Qucheng, so why would he come back?

Right now, we can only hope to find clues from the local people.

Leaving some people behind to clean up the battlefield, Baili Ming and the Fifth Master began to find a place to use as their central command tent, where they discussed matters while waiting for good news from Song Zhaohe.

"Report! The remnants of the enemy forces have fled north!"

"Good! Immediately send three thousand troops to pursue them. Remember, just make sure they are heading north, ignore everything else!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger quickly went to carry out the order.

......

After lying down for a day and a night, Baili Ce finally recovered.

"Drink some water first." As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Wang Qingyan breathe a sigh of relief, looking slightly anxious.

If she doesn't wake up soon, he really will have to find someone else to check on her.

"You don't need to worry so much. If I really wanted to die, I wouldn't have come here with you."

Knowing she was holding back her anger, Wang Qingyan didn't dare to argue with her. He took the empty cup and put it aside, then handed her his coat.

It was still sky blue, but she no longer cared.

After washing up, we went to eat. He ate whatever was picked up by his plate the whole time, and apart from not speaking, he was no different from when he was in Lincheng.

Wang Qingyan disagreed, asking, "The food isn't to my liking?"

"very nice"

These are all her favorite dishes, so they're naturally quite good.

"But you didn't eat much."

"I slept too long and I'm not very hungry yet. I'll have some fruit later."

After giving her reasons, Baili Ce planned to go for a stroll around the manor, but Wang Qingyan stopped her.

"If you don't want to eat anymore, come with me to the study."

"......good"

The study was right next door. If it weren't for the courtyard wall separating them, Baili Ce would have almost thought that the study was originally a room that was separated from the bedroom.

"You shipped all these things over in advance?"

Bai Li Ce was somewhat surprised to see the bookshelf piled high with the trinkets she had bought and the books she had read.

"and this."

Taking out the paper-cut window decoration book from the desk drawer, Wang Qingyan felt quite gratified. "I thought you hadn't left me anything, but on the day I was about to leave Lincheng to go to Qucheng to find you, I found your shadow all over the house."

"..." Go open the drawer and see for yourself.

Besides that stamp-like book of paper-cut window decorations, there were also plum blossom hairpins she made, seals and inkstones she didn't give away as New Year's gifts, adorably ugly porcelain dolls, and some small ornaments...

So many things, so many that she couldn't believe she had made so many things while she was with Wang Qingyan.

"What is this?" Caught looking at a familiar corner among the many items, Baili Ce pulled out the notebook he saw.

"How did this end up with you?" Her happy diary entries were both familiar and ironic.

“A businessman from the south found it and gave it to Zhou Tianli, who then gave it to me.” Seeing that she finally showed a moved expression, Wang Qingyan thought she was touched and opened another drawer.

Inside were neatly arranged the handkerchiefs she had embroidered for him, various woven bracelets, and the belt she had ruined during their wedding.

Finally, there was their marriage compatibility chart.

Every stroke and character is clearly visible.

"Ah Zhu, nothing has changed. We are still husband and wife, and we will stay together forever and never be separated."

Ah, Baili Ce laughed in his extreme sorrow.

Yes, she did so much, but nothing changed.

Never to be apart?

These were the most vicious words she had ever heard in her life.

So, with eyes full of affection, she hugged him tightly.

"......" Wang Qingyan was slow to react... He started to jump for joy, but just as he was about to rejoice, his joy plummeted to the bottom.

"Plant a curse on me."

After a while, Wang Qingyan began to tremble and back away little by little...

"You...what did you say?"

"I said, plant a curse on me."

"I am not your kind, and I do not wish for a long time to live; it is worse than death."

"Do you know what you're saying?" Wang Qingyan leaned against the wall, his face pale, realizing for the first time how terrifying Baili Ce was.

Bai Lize calmly put everything back in its place, one by one. "Since you can't let me go, I can't accept you either."

"Then why not cast a curse on me, so that you won't suffer as long as I do?"

"Don't you also wish I could always be this obedient and compliant?"

“But you just said…” He wished he had misheard.

"Just because you don't want to think about it now doesn't mean you won't want to think about it later."

"You're dreaming!"

"I have my own methods, and you know that better than I do."

"If I ever have a moment of weakness, how many times can you stop me?"

He would most likely agree to this "win-win" solution: closing the drawer and turning away.

It will probably take some time. "Think it over carefully. If you use the Gu sooner, you won't necessarily lose anything."

He might not have thought of this before, but things might change after today.

"Otherwise, once I die, you won't even be able to keep me, one of the Gu Guards."
