The cannon fodder girl is rebellious, and she is a fool to catch ghosts and win.

Since then, Yun State has endured five years of war, with people displaced and wars raging outside the city. No one celebrates the Hairpin Festival anymore.

Ah Li would look through the moat to see the situation in the city every day. Countless people who had lost their homes due to the war poured into the city, and people died every day due to hunger and cold.

Finally, on the Hairpin Festival of the sixth year, Pei Qi came back.

After six years of fighting on the frontier, the young man with bright clothes and angry horses has become a mature and steady general.

On the day he returned to the city, the people lined the streets to greet him, but the general on horseback did not smile at all.

This war caused him to lose his relatives, partners, and himself. The whole day of slaughter left him surrounded by evil spirits.

Under the palace, Luo Heng followed the emperor to greet him.

At this time, he had no hair, but no scars.

Seeing his former friend, Pei Qi finally smiled, but this smile made people feel sad.

After the palace banquet, Luo Heng asked Pei Qi:

"Is the war over?"

Pei Qi didn't answer, but showed him the half-broken Demon Suppression Sword.

Luo Heng understood when he saw this.

This battle is not over yet. The enemy has united the monsters from all sides and is very powerful. Pei Qi spent half of the Demon Suppressing Sword to win this moment of peace for everyone.

"Luo Heng, have you and the Imperial Master come up with a solution?" Pei Qi asked.

Luo Heng lowered his eyes and said in a very soft voice:

"Master has calculated it, but he can't figure it out. The future of Yun Kingdom is a fog, and no one knows when it will be destroyed!"

Pei Qi smiled bitterly: "It seems that the situation is more dangerous than bad!"

"Let's go! Accompany me to the moat. I want to see Ah Li again."

Pei Qi took Luo Heng and rode to the moat. As soon as he got there, he saw Ah Li coming out of the river.

After not seeing them for many years, Ah Li couldn't help crying when they met again:

"I'm glad you're okay!"

"Thanks to your heart-protecting scales, you saved me several times!" Pei Qi said with a smile.

Seeing the scar on Pei Qi's face, Ah Li was stunned for a moment, and then wiped his tears on his scar. The scar quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Pei Qi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled:

"I thought you would notice Luo Heng's bald head first!"

Ah Li looked at Luo Heng, his eyes averted for a moment, with restrained affection in his eyes.

Pei Qi seemed to understand something and said with a smile:

"We haven't seen each other for five years, let's take a walk together!"

Luo Heng refused: "No, you go ahead, I'll go back first."

After speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for Ah Li to speak.

Ah Li lowered his head sadly: "Luo Heng doesn't want to see me?"

"No! He can't see you!" Pei Qi said.

"Why?" A Li asked hurriedly.

"Because he is destined to be the only one on the road he wants to take. He doesn't want to harm you, so he chooses to stay away."

Ah Li looked at Luo Heng's retreating figure and seemed to understand something.

Pei Qi hid the disappointment in his eyes and said with a smile:

"A Li, you can't be so partial. We haven't seen each other for five years. Don't you want to hear how I killed everyone on the battlefield?"

Ah Li suppressed his sadness and smiled at Pei Qi:

"Okay! You tell me, I'll listen."

In the night, Pei Qi and Ah Li walked side by side, telling the story of the dangers he encountered on the battlefield.

Although he took the danger lightly, Ah Li could understand everything he encountered.

Unknowingly, the two came to the top of a mountain.

They sat back to back on the grass, looking at the moon as big as a white jade plate, enjoying the rare silence.

"Ah Qi, have you thought about the future?" Ah Li asked.

"Of course I have thought about it! After this is over, I want to ride the wind and fly high. I want to be happy in my life. I want to sleep drunk and in flowers, and I want to be accompanied by a beautiful woman!"

Pei Qi looked at Ah Li with burning eyes, his affection was ready to come out, but Ah Li didn't notice it.

She was worried that Pei Qi would not have a future, and that Luo Heng would lose himself.

When the Yun Kingdom was in war, she asked her grandfather, was the Yun Kingdom safe?

Grandpa only said one word: "It's difficult."

Grandpa's words were never missed. He said that when things are difficult, they must be bad.

Ah Li wanted to tell Pei Qi, but changed her mind when she saw the hope in his eyes:

"Okay! Then I wish you can regain your freedom soon!"

Not long after, the Yun Kingdom fell into war again, and Pei Qi went to the battlefield again. This time he did not have time to say goodbye to A Li.

Ah Li saw Pei Qi walking away through the moat, and saw Luo Heng seeing him off at the city gate.

She wanted to go out, but was stopped by the Styx water demon.

"A Li, it's too chaotic outside and you're not very strong. Don't go out again!"

Ah Li had already turned around, but then Luo Heng suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, and she suddenly panicked.

"Ali, please, let me go!"

The water demon had no choice but to let her out.

Ah Li came to the world, lifted up the dying Luo Heng, and fed him his blood.

Luo Heng woke up quickly. When he saw Ah Li, he pushed away in panic:

"Who asked you to come!"

"Go quickly! Go quickly!!!"

Ah Li was puzzled: "Luo Heng, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Luo Heng's master appeared.

A large net fell from above her head to restrain Ah Li, and at the same time, a sword was directed towards her body.

Luo Heng stood in front of her almost without thinking, his sword stopping an inch in front of his heart.

"Luo Heng, are you really going to disobey your master for the sake of a monster!"

Luo Heng slowly knelt down, his voice trembling:

"Master, it is the disciple who has moved his heart. Everything is the disciple's fault. Please let Ah Li go!"

"Luo Heng, have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten your responsibility to protect Yundu?" the master asked angrily.

"I haven't forgotten!" Luo Heng made a rare loss of composure.

For the first time, he looked at Master with resistance in his eyes.

"Master, it is my responsibility to protect Yundu, but if I can't protect the people I love, how can I protect Yundu!"

Luo Heng turned around and pulled away the net that bound Ah Li with his bare hands.

He caressed Ah Li's face and apologized with a smile:

"I'm sorry! Ah Li, it was me who hurt you!"

"This war has lasted for too long. Master wants to capture you and use your flesh and blood to save those seriously injured and dying soldiers. He injured me just now just to lure you to appear."

"A Li, remember, no matter what happens to me, you can never leave the underworld again!"

After saying these words, Luo Heng turned towards his master and shouted:

"A Li, let's go!!!"

"Luo Heng!"

Ah Li didn't want to leave, but seeing Luo Heng's voice hoarse, she had no choice but to leave.

Seeing Ah Li leave safely, Luo Heng smiled on his pale face.

He has followed the rules since he was born, and is heartless and has no desires. Only after meeting A Li did he have feelings and desires.

He didn't tell Ah Li, but he actually wanted to die.

After death, you can go to the underworld. As long as you can see her, it doesn't matter even if you live forever and never enter reincarnation.

After all, Luo Heng's master was still reluctant to let him die, but he let him go to the front line to resist foreign enemies together with Pei Qi.

Luo Heng told Pei Qi these things personally.

After knowing that the Imperial Preceptor wanted to use Ah Li's flesh and blood to save people, Pei Qi's hatred for the enemy reached its peak, and he fought as if life-threatening as soon as he entered the battlefield.

But his desperate efforts could not hold him back for long.
