"He Lianxiao! You see clearly, I am not the one you love..." Chao Ge wanted to push He Lianxiao away, but she had no strength.

I was already bullied by him to the point of begging for mercy at the inn, and here I go again...

"He Lianxiao, you have to travel at night, you bastard!"

"Don't worry about your husband's physical strength..." He Lianxiao raised the corner of his mouth and bit Chaoge's ear. "Call me husband."

"..." Chaoge sneered.

The more He Lianxiao behaves like this, the more she wants to know when he will regain his memory.

His eyes were subconsciously burning and red, and Chaoge's heart felt a little sour.

How ridiculous...

He Lianxiao is really unlucky.

He lost his memory, forgot about his woman and child, and mistakenly thought that he loved Mingyue. After finally remembering something, he regarded her as a little fool again.

Poor, sad.

"He Lianxiao..." Chao Ge's voice was hoarse and he kissed He Lianxiao back.

I hope you won't regret it in the future, and won't... think of these things and make you feel sick and want to vomit.

"I'm here." He Lianxiao's voice was also hoarse, as if to soothe Chao Ge's emotions.

He could sense that Chaoge was feeling uneasy.

"The people of Jiangnan and the prosperity of Kyoto City are all illusions..." Chao Ge said lightly in the darkness.

"Huh?" He Lianxiao was not satisfied with Chaoge's distraction.

"He Lianxiao... When you leave Jiangnan City, you will see a... different world." The closer you get to the outside of the pass, the farther the sky is and the emperor is...

Darkness is everywhere.

A country squire in armor, or even a small village tyrant and county magistrate, is the overlord of one party and oppresses the people.

Everywhere is filled with injustice, killing, darkness, and cruelty.

This is the true Fengtian.

Those corrupt officials and treacherous ministers made Kyoto and Jiangnan too dazzling, confusing the emperor's eyes and themselves.

…

"Chaoge..."

Afterwards, He Lianxiao held Chao Ge tightly in his arms. "Sometimes, I can't see through you."

What exactly does Chao Ge want?

"Of course you can't see through me. I'm not a little fool. I can see the end with just one glance." Chaoge was a little sleepy. She had been driving all night and she couldn't keep her eyes open.

Listening to the steady breathing of the person in his arms, He Lianxiao held his head and looked at her quietly.

"I remember some things... you used to love to cry a lot." He Lianxiao recalled some scattered memories. In the memory, Chaoge was silly and very crybaby, like a little rabbit. She would believe whatever she said.

"I'm sorry..." He Lianxiao kissed Chaoge's forehead. "I don't know what you have gone through in the past five years."

A person who obviously loves to cry has become... cruel and cruel, so gloomy.

"From now on, I will protect you and don't have to... plot anymore, okay?" He Lianxiao asked in a low voice.

As long as Chao Ge is kind-hearted, he can always...make her go back to the kind-hearted little crybaby she was before.

Chao Ge turned over and nestled in He Lianxiao's arms.

In order to rush on the road, they only slept for two hours.

But it was during these two hours that Chaoge had a nightmare.

People with the witch bloodline have the innate ability to predict the future and divine good and bad luck.

Ever since she woke up, she often had that nightmare.

In the dream, corpses lay everywhere, blood flowed into rivers, and her sword pierced He Lianxiao's shoulder...but He Lianxiao's sword directly penetrated her heart.

She will die, in the hands of He Lianxiao.

In the dream, they seemed to be on opposite sides.

In fact, Chao Ge knew that one day she would stand on the opposite side of He Lianxiao.

They will be enemies.

He Lianxiao's belief is to protect Fengtian, but she... wants to overturn it all.

"Xing'er, let's go."

The night was still dark, He Lianxiao picked up Chao Ge and led her on the way.

Chaoge was very sleepy. After taking Zhunzhisan, he had almost no energy and was still drowsy.

He Lianxiao dragged Chao Ge into his arms and let her lie on his shoulders.

The carriage was too slow, so He Lianxiao had no choice but to ride away with Chao Ge in his arms.

Chao Ge lay in He Lianxiao's arms, feeling sleepy.

When they woke up again, they had already left Jiangnan City.

Perhaps because he was afraid of the glare of the sun, He Lianxiao put a cloak on Chao Ge and covered her entire head.

The sun shone on the tip of Chaoge's nose. She glanced at Helianxiao. From her angle, she could only see Helianxiao's chin and... his nice and clear Adam's apple.

Inexplicably, Chao Ge tilted his head and bit his Adam's apple.

Helianxiao tightened the reins fiercely, his eyes dimmed and his Adam's apple rolled.

He made a low sound from his throat and cursed...

Chao Ge smiled and leaned on He Lianxiao's shoulder, teasing him... it was quite fun.

The more He Lianxiao loses control of her, the more painful... he will be in the future.

Thinking about it, I feel... relieved of my hatred.

"Isn't your throat hoarse from crying?" He Lianxiao lowered his head and asked with deep eyes.

Chao Ge gritted his teeth and lay in He Lianxiao's arms pretending to be weak. "Husband, I'm hungry..."

He Lianxiao took a deep breath, sooner or later he would die in the hands of this witch.

"Eat something." He Lianxiao handed the water bag and dry food to Chaoge, and found a pavilion near the city gate to rest for a while.

Chao Ge was right, after leaving Jiangnan City, everything outside seemed desolate.

He Lianxiao fought with the rebels three years ago, and then stayed in Kyoto, thinking that the world would be peaceful.

Chaoge drank some water and almost choked.

"Slow down, little fool..." He Lianxiao shook his head and patted Chao Ge on the back.

Chaoge stiffened as he coughed.

Little fool...

"He Lianxiao, if one day you find out that I have lied to you, what will you do?" Chao Ge is not worried that He Lianxiao will kill her. This body belongs to a fool, and He Lianxiao will not do it.

But He Lianxiao will definitely find a way to trap her and seal her in darkness again.

Let her never see the light of day.

"Why don't you lie to me?" He Lianxiao knew that there was not a word of truth in Chaoge's mouth.

Chao Ge raised his lips, He Lianxiao understood her quite well.

"Where did you two come from?" The guard above the city gate shouted in a deep voice.

He Lianxiao and Chao Ge hid their identities and said that they were visiting relatives in the border town.

"Take out the customs clearance fee." The guard pointed to the broken wooden sign hanging on the city gate. "Thirty taels of silver."

He Lianxiao frowned. "Whose rule is this?"

Your Majesty has given generous gifts to the people all over the world, and even taken the initiative to reduce taxes in remote and cold places. This small Bailiang City actually charges customs clearance fees privately?

"This is the rule of our city lord!" The guard was very crazy.

"Does this money have to be turned over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for tax?" He Lianxiao asked in a deep voice.

"Tax? Take it out quickly! Otherwise, you will take a detour to Chentang!" The guard was very confident. There was still ten miles from here to Chentang, and there would be robbers on the road.

Many merchants don't want to cause trouble, so they always give them customs clearance fees.

He Lianxiao's eyes were dark, he was so brave.

The lord of a small Bailiang City is going to rebel!

Chaoge held the horse and smiled sarcastically.

What is this...
