I made the villain right.

After Shi's father and son left, Shi Jin stayed alone with Xu Ruogu.

Shi Jin's eyes slowly fell on Xu Ruogu, and his voice was gentle and calm: "Gu'er, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Sister Jin, I also want to go with you to fight the enemy."

Xu Ruogu raised his head, his eyes full of determination and desire, and his small body seemed to contain endless courage.

"No, you are still young and don't know martial arts. I'm afraid you will get hurt. If you stay by my side, I will worry and be distracted. It is best for you to stay in Fengyun Pavilion."

Shi Jin frowned slightly and spoke earnestly. Her eyes were full of concern, and she didn't want him to take any risks.

"Okay." Xu Ruogu's voice was full of loss and regret.

Suddenly thinking of something, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Shi Jin: "Sister Jin, this is the poison I developed recently, called Huagong San, which can make the meridians of the poisoned person unable to flow normally, reduce the internal strength, and at the same time, the body will become weak and it will be difficult to perform martial arts. I give it to you in case of emergency."

When Shi Jin heard this, she showed a hint of surprise on her face. She exclaimed: "Wow, that sounds amazing."

She smiled and touched Xu Ruogu's head. She took the medicine bottle and put it in her arms. "I'll keep this treasure well. Maybe it will come in handy at a critical moment."

Night falls, the stars and the moon dim.

Shi Wei went out quietly and came to Fengming Palace.

Fan Hua sat in the study, studying the formation with a focused expression, as if he was reviewing today's formation.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

Fan Hua was keenly aware of the subtle movement. He slowly raised his head and his eyes met Shi Wei who was walking into the study.

The moment he saw Shi Wei, Fan Hua's face showed a slightly surprised expression.

There was a hint of doubt in his surprise, as if he was guessing the purpose of Shi Wei's trip.

He quickly stood up to greet him and asked respectfully, "Why is my father-in-law here?"

Shi Wei frowned slightly, his face stern, and said in a deep voice: "You and Jin'er have already divorced, it's probably inappropriate to call me father-in-law."

There was a hint of blame and dissatisfaction in his words.

Shi Wei paused for a moment, then said in a firm tone: "I came here today to ask you to write a letter of divorce, and from now on you will have nothing to do with Jin'er."

When Fan Hua heard this, his eyes instantly became firm. He looked directly at Shi Wei and said, "Father-in-law, I can't write this divorce letter because we are not divorced."

Fan Hua stared at Shi Wei and saw that he showed no surprise on his face after hearing what he said, which clearly showed that he already knew about it.

Fan Hua still chose to speak frankly: "I'm sorry, I lied to you at that time. Mianmian knew that you had a knot in your heart about the death of your mother-in-law, and I also knew that you were worried that she would be hurt. In order to take into account your emotions at the time, I took this bad idea."

After hearing this, Shi Wei frowned and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.

Fan Hua answered without hesitation, his eyes full of determination.

"I know about the grudge between our two families, but this will definitely not affect my feelings for her. She and I have known each other, fallen in love, and have been through so many things. This feeling has already penetrated deep into our bones. After this incident, our feelings will only become deeper and will not be shaken in the slightest."

Shi Wei's face suddenly darkened, and he said sternly: "What if I insist on your divorce today?"

However, Fan Hua was not afraid at all, his eyes revealed determination, declaring his resolve.

"Mianmian is the one I have chosen for my life. Even if my father-in-law and my father are here to put pressure on me today, I will not divorce her."

The determination and indomitable spirit in his eyes make people feel how much he cherishes this relationship.

"The grudge between our two families is not a blood feud that cannot be resolved, but an inability to face the pain of the past. We are trapped in the shackles of the past and cannot extricate ourselves. We are both victims, and Qin Yixian is our mortal enemy. Why should we punish ourselves with the sins of others? Why not sit down and talk frankly, resolve the grudge together, and move towards a new future hand in hand."

Fan Hua was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked straight at Shi Wei, with a hint of pleading and expectation in his eyes.

"This is a common wish of Mianmian and I. I hope my father-in-law can think it over carefully."

His voice was no longer so stiff, but rather carried a hint of earnestness, as if he was making the most sincere request to Shi Wei.

When Shi Wei heard this, his heart moved a little, and his expression eased a little, "Let me think about this matter again."

Suddenly, a trace of worry appeared between his brows. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It is good that you think so, but your father, the Holy King, may not think so."

When Fan Hua heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Father, I will find a suitable time to talk to him and will definitely convince him."

Fan Hua seemed to see Shi Wei's worry, so he expressed his determination again: "Mian Mian, in my heart, has a place that others cannot reach, just like the stars that always emit light, illuminating my originally barren life. She has never disliked me because of my past, and has given me endless tolerance and sincerity. I swear on my life that I will never let her down, and will do my best to protect her, and will never allow anyone to hurt her in the slightest."

When Shi Wei heard Fan Hua's affectionate oath, his expression moved slightly, and an imperceptible ripple flashed in his eyes, as if he was touched by the affection in Fan Hua's words.

This young man's feelings are always so passionate and firm.

I hope he can do what he says, not let Jin'er suffer any injustice, and protect her well.

He quickly suppressed his emotion and spoke slowly with a calm tone: "I'll take note of your words for now. I'll consider it."

Shi Wei remembered something, so he said, "I will leave for Kyoto tomorrow. When do you plan to leave?"

He seemed to be interested in inviting Fanhua to join him.

"Three Days Later"

Shi Wei frowned slightly, a trace of doubt on his face. "The city gates were already closed at that time, how did you get in?"

There was a hint of worry in his tone, and he was obviously considering Fanhua's itinerary.

Fan Hua said firmly, "Xiao Xu has a way to enter the city, so don't worry, father-in-law."

Shi Wei nodded slightly, "That's good."

Shi Wei originally came to ask for a divorce letter, but not only did he not get it, he was also moved by Fan Hua's remarks and hurried away.

Late at night, the thick inky darkness seemed like an indissoluble silk cloth, tightly wrapping the towering city walls.

Kyoto city gate.

Suddenly in the darkness, a huge army gradually appeared in sight, advancing silently like a black torrent.

The sound of horse hooves was deliberately suppressed, but the dull sound still made people feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

They were dressed in the black armor of the Imperial Guards and holding weapons, their figures were looming in the darkness.

At the front of the team, on a tall warhorse, Leng Yue was sitting with her long hair tied up, her eyes cold and sharp.

She raised her chin slightly, looked straight at the city gate in front of her, and observed the situation at the gate vigilantly.

When the people on the city wall saw the army outside the city gate, he immediately waved his hand to signal two soldiers to open the city gate.

The soldiers received instructions and quickly opened the city gate.

Leng Yue nodded slightly and led eight thousand troops into the city quietly.

After entering the city, Leng Yue led the army in an orderly manner towards the black market, moving through the streets of Kyoto like a ghost, and finally disappeared at the entrance of the black market.

Leng Yue led the army to a hidden residence in the black market and stayed there.
