Heifeng Village is surrounded by mountains. The village is built in the low-lying areas of the mountains. The Heifeng Hall is built in the flattest place in the center of the village.

Black Wind Hall was surrounded by people, and the sound of people was noisy amidst the loud gongs and drums.

In front of the Black Wind Hall, Zhuo Yao slowly entered the hall holding Bai Zhi's hand. Because her injured leg was weak, she supported part of her body weight on Zhuo Yao. The roots of her fingers were as white as jade and as thin as onions, and they were tightly clasped in his strong hand with the palm upward.

She leaned towards her body out of trust, and the warm touch in her hands made Zhuo Yao feel in a daze. For a moment, he felt that all this was true, and he was really marrying a wife.

Bai Zhi's mind went blank. Although she knew that these were all expedient measures, she still felt a little guilty. Isn't this a full-blown bigamy crime? If the prince found out, how would he feel?

He was pulled around in a daze, and then he bowed in worship. Her body was a little stiff, her movements were very imperfect, and she looked a bit perfunctory.

In sharp contrast, it was Zhuo Yao's meticulous movements and the sincerity in his eyes that shone brightly.

After the worship service, Bai Zhi was sent back to her room. Zhuo Yao stayed in the Black Wind Hall, treating his brothers to good food and drinks, and then drank several jars of good wine with Jin Ruhai.

Jin Ruhai had a good drinking capacity and kept pulling Zhuo Yao to say that he wanted to have a good time. Zhuo Yao thought about his plan for the evening and refused without any hesitation, "Brother, I forgive Heihu for not being able to stay with me tonight. How can I let my wife stay alone in the empty room?"

After hearing this, Jin Ruhai laughed boldly, summoned more than a dozen ladies, and indulged in the sensuality, "Brother Black Tiger is absolutely right! Don't keep the new wife waiting for too long!"

Zhuo Yao's face was cold and proud, his eyes were frivolous, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, "Yes! Brother, eat and drink well, the show is all tonight!"

Bai Zhi knew Zhuo Yao's plan. She only had to wait for the troops to rise at night and did nothing. But now Yagyu gave her a task of making a life or death decision.

Bai Zhi held the bottle in her hand and chuckled, how could she poison Zhuo Yao! She never thought about it from the beginning! He put the bottle on the bedside calmly and fell asleep comfortably.

When she woke up, the red hijab that had been lifted by herself was now covered again. Bai Zhi sat up suddenly and wanted to lift the red hijab, but someone grabbed her hands.

"Don't move." It was Zhuo Yao's voice, he whispered in his ear. The smell of wine came to my face.

"Huh? Why cover it?" Bai Zhi frowned and asked with some confusion.

"Yagyu's people are outside." Zhuo Yao replied softly.

"Then shall we continue to act like this?" Bai Zhi also whispered in his ear.

"Yeah." He made a deep voice from his throat, with a man's special hoarseness that made people's ears itch.

Bai Zhi was worried that her poison would attack at midnight and die by then, so she told Zhuo Yao that Liu Sheng was going to poison him.

Zhuo Yao looked at the bottle of medicine on the bedside and fell into deep thought.

Yagyu is not good at martial arts, but he is a genius who is proficient in arithmetic and pharmacology. If he wants to kill himself, there is always a chance for him to poison him. He was always investigating himself in order to let Jin Ruhai know that he was the most loyal person.

Therefore, this bottle of medicine will not be a fatal poison. Compared with this, what gives him a headache is the poison in White Lotus.

Now if he takes this medicine, it is possible to obtain the antidote of the White Lotus, but at the same time, it is very likely that he will become unconscious and delay his plans tonight. If he didn't take it, with Yagyu's proficiency in pharmacology, he wouldn't be able to accurately find the bottle of antidote in the vast medicine pavilion.

To him, White Lotus was just an insignificant passerby who appeared suddenly. Sacrifice her, and everything will be safe, and the case that has been pursued for three years will be successfully concluded.

This idea was formed based on years of obsession and intuition, and it was also the brain’s first reaction. Reason kept urging him to choose that, but Zhuo Yao hesitated. At this time, there was another thought in his mind. He wanted to take her home safely.

Bai Zhi couldn't wait for Zhuo Yao's answer, and felt a little flustered. She grabbed Zhuo Yao's wrist with her backhand and whispered in his ear, "General Zhuo, I know you are serving the country and the people. Although I am just a small person, I am also a citizen of your Kingdom of Chen. I will tell you the truth because I believe in you and believe that you will save me. It is better for the two of us to find a solution than to suffer alone!"

Bai Zhi was betting on his awe-inspiring aura. She was more willing to believe in Zhuo Yao's proud character than to believe that Liu Sheng, who was so desolate in the world, would let her live.

Zhuo Yao looked at Bai Zhi's firm and bright eyes, and his heart suddenly burned. He really wanted to slap himself twice. What on earth was he thinking! In order to achieve the goal quickly, he chooses to sacrifice a woman and gives up thinking, what kind of man is he? This kind of thought should not be entertained at all!

My mind uncontrollably dug up some fragments buried deep in my memory.

Zhuo Yao was only eight years old that year, and his father had not returned from the southern expedition. The Marquis of Jinyang and his father had always been on good terms, and he sent him a rare antique vase. Zhuo Yao was playing cuju with the housekeeper's son in the courtyard, and accidentally kicked the ball into the room, causing the antique vase to shatter.

At that time, the Zhuo family had just lost their mistress, Mrs. Zhuo, and the eldest sister Zhuo Ling was still young. Her father had not returned, leaving only the elderly housekeeper struggling to support the crumbling family. The rare treasure was shattered into pieces before it was presented to his father. The butler was blamed and wanted to commit suicide.

But Xiao Zhuoyao said with disdain: "Father has never seen it anyway, so can we just pretend that Marquis Jinyang didn't send it to us? Marquis Jinyang won't really come to check!"

When he said this, the elegant and bright brother returned home carrying his sister who had been defeated in a fight. After hearing the whole story, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Ayao, although it is simple to deal with it this way, it will have endless consequences."

"A man should be good at thinking and not take shortcuts just to feel relaxed." He was dressed in white and his smile was like a warm spring breeze, dispelling the resentment in Zhuo Yao's heart and the guilt and fear after doing something wrong.

Afterwards, he held his little hand and went to the Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion, apologized and admitted his mistake, and the matter was settled. He even got the local specialties from Mrs. Marquis Jinyang's natal family.

At night, under the dim moonlight, he was carrying Zhuo Yao who was extremely sleepy. Zhuo Yao murmured, "Brother, how do you understand so many truths?!"

The brother with starry eyes said: "When you grow up, you will naturally understand."

Xiao Zhuoyao was drowsy, lying on his back, saliva dripping on his shoulder, "When I grow up, I want to be like a brother..."

Feeling his wrist being pinched tighter and tighter by Bai Zhi, Zhuo Yao suddenly came back to his senses. He felt panic in his heart. He just thought about saving trouble and simplicity. He really became more alive as he grew up!

Zhuo Yao hugged Bai Zhi in front of him and hugged her tightly. His face was resolute, and a cluster of fire ignited in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "You are right. If I want to save the people of Dachen, I will never sacrifice you." principle."

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, her bet was right, "Thank you."

Zhuo Yao smiled bitterly, and then there was a sharp flash in his eyes, "It's my turn to thank you. Whether it's your life or Jin Ruhai's village, I want it all!"
