C526 Think Twice

Late at night.

Mu Haiyang didn't leave Fringe City. She didn't want to move to the border. Lyi Xuanzhi and Lingsu wanted to go, so she was the only one left in Fringe City. After all, there were no hidden dangers in Fringe City, and it was a relatively safe city.

The snow stopped.

However, she could smell the bloody smell brought by the wind. The number of people who died in the battlefield during the day was not the thousands of people she had seen, but an unimaginable number.

Those were all human lives. If they died, there would be nothing left, only the smell of blood in the wind.

Smelling this smell, Mu Haiyang felt like retching.

After a long while, she forcefully endured this smell and walked into the room. She carefully opened the letter that had a hole in it.

The beginning of the letter was very impolite. The first part was mostly scolding her, causing him, a dignified Huiyuan, to fall to such an extent.

Mu Haiyang thought of the fact that he had already returned to the Sinkhole and neglected the first half.

The second half was written:

Although he had left his hometown, he did not want to see corpses everywhere and people in misery and suffering. He had repeatedly advised the Emperor to withdraw his troops and to make peace. In the end, he learned from the Emperor that you were the one who sent the troops. If you return to the Moon Abyss and want to take over the world from you, the Emperor will definitely withdraw his army. At least during the Emperor's reign, there will not be any more battles.

Although I hate you, I do not hate the people of the world. The Emperor will definitely personally lead the army when he loses the border. All the reasons are because of you and you can also solve them. It all depends on your thoughts, think carefully!

Mu Haiyang clearly did not expect that Shen Qingyan would be such a wise and righteous person and even told her that Yue Niansheng's goal was her. He could not take the others to heart and as long as he got her, he would naturally withdraw his troops.

Mu Haiyang finished reading the letter and burned it.

"Is it really because of me?" She muttered.

After thinking for a long time, it was already slightly bright outside the house, and the snow started to fall again.

The snow seemed to not stop no matter how it fell. It stopped and stopped again and again. There was no sign of it fading away.

Mu Haiyang finally made a decision, "If everything starts because of me, then let me solve it!"

She put on her coat and asked for a horse.

Early in the morning, they left on the snow, leaving only the deep hoof marks.

The cold wind whistled and lifted her cloak. Her hair was now the only sound on the battlefield. She was the only one who was riding a horse."

A few hours later, she once again smelled the stench of blood. This time, it was even more intense. From afar, it could be seen that the corpses that had died in battle yesterday, no one would clean up such a battlefield. Wherever they died, that was the place where that person was safe.

When she approached the Second City of the Moon Abyss, the battle there was even more intense.

"They actually went to pull out the Second City overnight!"

Mu Haiyang looked at the corpses that filled the sky and the hot blood that flowed. It warmed up the snow that had fallen on the ground, but it also turned the silvery white into a blood-red color.

Although they also died, they were not as heavy as Yue Yuan.

In less than a day, they would be able to seize the Second City.

All the soldiers were trying their best to seize the city gates, seize the Stairway to Heaven, and kill...

Even the city walls were dyed red. That bloody smell made Mu Haiyang feel incomparably strong, and even made her retch.

She was protected very well by Lyi Xuanzhi previously. She had never seen such a scene before. In her memory, there was a battle of wits and courage in war, but there was no such thing as using human lives to fill up this city.

"They are all selfish... they are all selfish..."

"You don't kill me, but it doesn't mean that I don't kill you, they all want to live..."

Mu Haiyang stopped in her tracks and stood outside the city. She looked at the battlefield and cried.

"It's all right. The one who is wrong is me..."

"It was me who was wrong..."

She was in pain, but there was nothing she could do to stop it. Like an arrow, she could not take it back, but she changed the person under the arrow.

She couldn't stop this war, but she would definitely be able to do it in the next battle.

Just as she had expected, before the sky turned dark, they had already seized the Second City.

"Haiyang... why are you here?" The moment Lyi Xuanzhi stood on the city wall, he saw Mu Haiyang holding her horse outside the city and asked gently.

It was as if Mu Haiyang was a guest from another world and had encountered this war by chance.

He was slightly stunned and looked up at Lyi Xuanzhi. "I missed you, so I came!"

At this moment, Lyi Xuanzhi no longer had the killing intent on the battlefield. Instead, he became gentle. "Quickly come to the city. Lingsu is already in the city to pacify the people."

Holding his horse, he walked into Second City and murmured, "Maybe Anhe is better than Yue Yuan. At least Jiazhi will not massacre the city, but will also be good to the people..."

She was very conflicted. On the one hand, she did not want to see a war of death. On the other hand, she felt that the rule of the Anhe was even greater than Yue Yuan's. However, if they wanted to unify the Anhe, wouldn't war be needed? Who would be willing to give up the empire? Besides, there were no benefits or beautiful women. Who would be so foolish? So foolish that he would give it up?

This time, she seemed to have wavered. The plan to attack was proposed by her. It was also what she thought in her heart that she did not want to see war.

"Maybe only I can solve this problem. Yue Niansheng, can I trust you?"

Mu Haiyang walked up to the city wall with thoughts in her mind.

Lyi Xuanzhi pulled the cloak for her as usual and scolded her for disobeying him and coming here alone.

"Is this Xuanzhi really the person from the battlefield just now?"

Mu Haiyang looked at him blankly.

Just now, when he broke through the enemy and fought with his blood, she had seen him. At that time, he was not gentle at all. His entire body was filled with killing intent and coldness.

"War can change a person."

"Haiyang, are you listening to what This King is saying?" She asked softly.

"I am thinking about how our Xun-er is doing. I miss him so much!" Mu Haiyang came back to her senses and changed the topic.

She knew the reason why she came this time. She wanted to end this pointless battle.

"This King..." Lyi Xuanzhi choked with sobs.

He had been away from Li Xun ever since he was born, and he had never taken a single look at him. If he died on the battlefield this time, he would never be able to see Li Xun again for the rest of his life.

Mu Haiyang knew his guilt, and she herself was the same. Her eyes sparkled with sparkling tears, "When everything is peaceful, can we lead Xun'er to a peaceful life? The throne, power, wealth, we don't want any of them, okay?"

Lyi Xuanzhi gave her a pained look and pulled her into his arms. With a profound look in his eyes, he said, "Alright! I only want you and Xun-er... as long as you and Xun-er!"

The tears in Mu Haiyang's eyes could not help but flow as she thought, Xuanzhi, don't hate me, don't hate me. Take Xun-er and live well!

How could she not want to live a normal life with him? But would all of this be given to them? Would she get what she wanted?

No one knew, including Mu Haiyang herself.

As long as Yue Niansheng came, she would decide to leave with him. The condition was to let everyone go and not invade. However, this was also her wish. If Yue Niansheng really wanted her... If not, she would also fight to her death.
