After some shaking, the earth finally quieted down.
Feng Ning Yan turned her head back to look at the gradually descending smoke and dust. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
She thought that this was just to save Ye Bailu, but she did not know that Shen Lingjue's goal from the start was to completely exterminate these killers.
This time, there was another unexpected harvest. Pei Shi and the personal guards of the Mansion of Prince Cheng had also lost their lives.
She'd been worried before that Shen Youhuang would use these assassins to deal with Ning Nanyan Army, but now she could finally put her mind at ease.
Even if the assassins had other supporters, their numbers would be greatly reduced, so as to not threaten the military intelligence at the border.
After Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan left the valley, they found a nearby cave and placed the unconscious Ye Bailu there.
Cheng Ying and Xu Mo brought the people from the Interpretation Pavilion to guard outside while Shen Ling Jue used the method of using silver needles to prick the acupoints and wake Ye Bailu up.
Ye Bailu slowly opened his eyes and adapted to the darkness within the cave. Only then, were he able to clearly see Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan in front of him.
He sat up in shock, looked at the completely unfamiliar cave, and asked hoarsely, "Where is this place? Why am I not in the Medicine hut? Where's my assassin, Pei Shi! "
Feng Ningyan knew that he would definitely have these questions when he woke up, and she also knew that the truth might cause Ye Bailu to be unable to accept it.
She gathered her thoughts and half-squatted in front of Ye Bailu, slowly saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye. The situation just now was urgent, and I had no choice but to knock you out. I'll take you out of the Medicine hut."
"What?" You're the one who knocked me out! " Ye Bailu could not believe it. He raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head, grimacing in pain. "Miss Feng, why did you do this!?"
"Because that place was too dangerous. At that time, the killer had already lost control of himself, and there was no distinction between friend or foe." Feng Ningyan helplessly said, "I said that I wanted you to come with me, but you wouldn't listen to me, so I had no choice but to use a forceful method …"
Ye Bailu stood up, his body trembling, his eyes red as he said, "Those assassins have already pledged their loyalty to me, and I told them to kill Pei Shi, of course they would go crazy to seek revenge! "Revenge is my problem, I don't need you to meddle in it!"
Shen Ling Jue stood at the side with a stern expression.
Listening to Feng Ningyan's patient explanation, he was already somewhat unhappy. Seeing that Ye Bailu did not know what was good for him, he frowned and coldly said, "On what basis do you think you can control those assassins? Just based on the Great Replenishment Pill? "
Ye Bailu was suddenly stunned, his face was pale, his lips moved slightly, and his eyes looked a little evasive.
"How did you know that was the All Aspect Nourishment Pill …"
Shen Lingjue couldn't be bothered to answer such a question. In his opinion, if Ye Bailu wanted to use the fake antidote to control the killer, he would simply be a fool.
Feng Ningyan could only say, "Mr. Ye's method can only be used to deceive people for a short period of time. You said a head for an antidote, and when they bring heads for the antidote, wouldn't you be found out? "
Ye Bai said bitterly, "Refining the real antidote will take a month, and using the All Aspect Nourishment Pill to deceive them is just a temporary measure. As long as they listen to my orders, everyone will have the antidote and live a normal life. "I, Ye Bailu, have already sworn my oath and I will never go back on it!"
Up to this point, he was still only living in his imagination, unable to face the reality in front of him.
Feng Ningyan saw that Ye Bailu was still so stubborn. She angrily stood up and said, "I think it's better if I tell you directly." The assassins, as well as Pei Shi and the rest of Prince Cheng's Mansion, have already been buried by the rocks in that valley.
Ye Bailu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly shouted hysterically:
"I thought you guys were here to save me, but who knew that it would be the opposite! You're afraid that those killers will become the climate and threaten the rule of the Great Wu, so you'll use me to lure them out and eliminate them, right? By doing this, you make it so that I can no longer take revenge for my people! "
Shen Ling Jue said angrily: "Do you really think they can become ordinary people? They are under the control of the parasite poison, and are used to killing each other.
Ye Bai was stunned by Shen Ling Jue's question.
He had never thought about this before. He only knew that if he wanted revenge, he had to use these assassins.
Feng Ning Yan said earnestly, "Mr. Ye is the one who raised the Gu. Of course you know the consequences of being bitten by the Gu worm. Those killers were like Gu worms, they could lose control at any time! Have you ever thought about how they would treat you after they get the antidote? "
Hearing this, Ye Bailu's hands slightly trembled, it was as if he could see the scene of some killers on the Skeleton Island being controlled by Gu worms, unable to live, unable to die.
The pain they had experienced before made them all hate Ye Bailu. Once they got the antidote, how could they still let him live?
When Feng Ningyan saw Ye Bailu finally understand, she couldn't help feeling sad for him.
"Those assassins were all desperate people who had received cruel training. One man alone was enough to harm one side. Once they formed an organization, the world would be filled with bloodshed. At that time, if the imperial government were to muster more troops to suppress them, they would have to sacrifice countless lives. This was why Prince Yu had made up his mind in this critical moment. He was going to eliminate all of them at one go, so as to prevent any future troubles. Sir, you must understand that we have no other choice. "
Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan's words were like a warning bell, causing Ye Bailu to come to his senses.
He could not help but feel regret and fear. He pondered for a while without saying anything.
When he finally understood all of this, he could not help but sigh, "It was my stupidity that almost brought the tiger back to the mountain, harming the innocent … "I hope esteemed wangfei and prince can forgive me. This is all because I want revenge too much …"
Seeing that he had thought things through, Shen Ling Jue knew that it was time to let him leave this troublesome place in the Southern County, so he called in Cheng Ying and Xu Mo.
"After today, Shen Youhuang will surely counterattack. Mr. Ye is in even greater danger. I ask that the brothers from the Pavilion of Interpretation move Mr. Ye to protect him properly."
Cheng and Xu hurriedly received their orders.
Feng Ning Yan sent Ye Bai off from the cave, then cupped her hands and said, "Mr. Ye, let's part ways here for now. "One day, I'll lift Shen Youhuang's head and make you pay tribute to your clansmen!"
Ye Bailu was so moved that he could not speak. Tears fell down his face as he bid his farewells. The two of them, Cheng and Xu, as well as the people from the Pavilion of Interpretation, disappeared into the distance.
Seeing that Ye Bailu had finally left and temporarily put aside the matter of revenge, a myriad of thoughts filled Feng Ningyan's heart.
A person who has been blinded by hatred is like being shackled by heavy shackles. He has lost himself, he has lost his happiness.
Wasn't she the same as well?
It was only when she was in love with Shen Lingjue and had a life and death match that she knew how to live her life.
She only hoped that the day would come when Ye Bailu would finally let go of his hatred and find a new meaning in his life to live on.
The sun had already risen high in the sky, shining its warm rays on people's bodies.
However, the brighter the sunlight, the darker the shadows of all living things would be.
After everyone had left the area, a blood-stained hand slowly reached out from the ruins around the medicine hut …
