After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 144 The betrayal of a friend hurts the most

Chu Er soon came over with Qin Sanyuan, and the man who kicked the tree fell flat on his face. They were not one-on-one masters, and the tree was too high, so he was kicked down suddenly.

If you are caught off guard, you might suffer internal injuries from the fall, let alone getting up and running away in the first place.

Chu Er pressed Qin Sanyuan's acupoints and at the same time put a sword on the neck of the man who was shouting in pain.

"Don't move. If you don't want your neck to bleed, just stay here." Chu Er's voice was neither cold nor indifferent, without any emotion.

He had just fallen down and hadn't even gotten up yet when a sharp sword was placed on his neck. Of course he didn't dare to think about anything and quickly nodded to show that he was obedient.

Qin Sanyuan silently glanced at the archers who sat up with leaves on their clothes and hair. They looked as miserable as he did. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should sympathize with them.

Clearly, not long ago, they ruthlessly shot and killed someone, and wanted to shoot me, but now their end... seems to be no better than mine, or even worse.

Chu Xi drew out the sword mercilessly. The sword was still stained with bright red blood, and the blood dripped down the tip of the sword...

It happened to drip onto Qin Sanyuan's forehead. He was acupunctured and couldn't touch what was dripping onto his forehead.

But he soon found out, because several drops fell from above, and one of them flowed down his forehead, passing through his eyelashes and in front of his eyes.

Qin Sanyuan saw a flash of red, although it was only a fleeting moment, which made him wonder if he had seen it wrong.

But whether it was Chu Jiang's previous skills or the sound of the sharp sword piercing his body from the tree, they were silently telling him that he was not mistaken.

After several assassination attempts, Chu Xi has developed a "heart of stone". In the life-and-death chase, she has no time to hold back.

She flew down from the tree, grabbing the person whose arm was injured. The person in her hand quickly covered his injured arm. He had no time to escape at this moment, as he would die from losing too much blood.

"I didn't want to kill anyone, but you forced me to do it." Chu Xi did not stop the man from tearing his clothes and bandaging them, but added lightly.

The three people hiding in the trees and shooting arrows were not wearing masks. They were just wearing black clothes that blended into the night. Their faces were unfamiliar, so Chu Xi's eyes just glanced lightly at them.

Finally, he said calmly, "You are not from this camp!"

His tone was firm, and although his voice was soft, he seemed to have no doubt about what he said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Er looked at his master with some surprise, and then continued to stare at the three people in front of him, remaining silent, acting as a qualified guard.

Chu Xi's words exposed the identities of the two people except Qin Sanyuan. They unconsciously flickered their eyes and avoided Chu Xi's calm but all-knowing eyes. It was this seemingly unintentional action that completely exposed their identities.

Chu Xi said this before, but in fact she was not 100% sure in her heart. After all, she was just guessing. There were tens of thousands of people in the army, and there must be some people she had not seen yet.

But she didn't expect that her casual question turned out to be true...

The man who had tied his wound tightly with a cloth strip remained silent. Although Chu Xi had guessed part of their origins, they had made up their minds not to reveal any information.

Chu Xi didn't expect to get any useful information from them and looked at Chu Er beside him.

Chu Er understood what he meant and immediately unblocked Tan Sanyuan's acupuncture points.

Qin Sanyuan's acupoints were suddenly unblocked, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He no longer dared to look down on or feel lucky for the young man in front of him.

Although Chu Jiang is only seventeen years old and has not yet reached adulthood, he can see through people's minds and guess many things without any hint from anyone. Such a person has only been seen once in a lifetime.

"Brother Qin, I know what you want to do tonight. The purpose of drugging is to make everyone in the camp fall into a deep sleep so that the next plan can proceed more smoothly!"

"I just want to ask you one thing. Is there no one in the camp or the city that you care about? If the plan succeeds, what percentage of people do you think will survive?"

The thing that Qin Sanyuan was most worried about was pointed out, and his temples throbbed violently a few times. Compared with his previous cruel methods, Chu Xi's attack with just a few words was more powerful.

He looked up at Chu Xi who was so close to him with complicated eyes, "I know your identity, but I don't know if you really care about the people. If you just want to bring down... that person?"

How could these children of noble families who were raised in the prosperous capital city know about the sufferings of the world?

If he was not of use now, why would Chu Jiang have spared his life if he wanted him to come forward and expose the things that the Eighth Prince had planned?

Chu Xi understood why he had such an idea. After all, they were on different sides. Besides, the Eighth Prince’s people would definitely tell Qin Sanyuan that they came here just to fabricate bad things about the Eighth Prince.

So as to tell His Majesty in the capital to overthrow the Eighth Prince and make him withdraw from the fight for the throne.

She did not come up and say that she was doing it for the people, but looked towards the direction of the river.

"The river dam is Xi'an's natural protective barrier. Once the dam bursts, countless casualties will occur. Losing the city is a small matter. The tens of thousands of soldiers you have knocked unconscious will die quietly in their sleep."

"Have you ever thought that if the person behind you really cared about the people and cherished human lives, he would not have adopted such a decisive method. Treason is already the lightest crime he could be charged with."

"He is using the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city to pave the way for his own enthronement. A man who is so unscrupulous before he even ascends the throne will only become more unrestrained and unscrupulous after he ascends to the throne."

Chu Xi never denied that those in power since ancient times all had blood on their hands, and it was impossible for them to have the last laugh and become emperor without any means.

But at least she could not accept that someone who sacrificed the lives of 200,000 people and committed treason ascended to the throne. How was this different from Empress Dowager Cixi who ceded land and paid compensation in history?

"A majesty who has no people in his heart will be a nightmare for the people of the Great Zhou."

Qin Sanyuan lowered his eyes and thought. It was undeniable that Chu Jiang's words touched him. It was precisely because he wanted to overthrow the foolish emperor who had no subjects and only wanted to live forever that he joined the Eighth Prince's camp.

But after he boarded this ship and gradually discovered the tip of the iceberg of the Eighth Prince's temper, there was no turning back for him.

"Let's not talk about the distant past. Is there no one in the entire military camp that you care about, Qin Sanyuan? Those comrades who regard you as their good brother through thick and thin, what would they do if they knew that you put drugs in the well and let them die in their sleep?"

Chu Xi's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it seemed a little chilly because of the cool night breeze.

"If I were them, I would die with my eyes wide open. They did not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of trusted companions. The betrayal of a good friend is the most heartbreaking."

Qin Sanyuan seemed to have foreseen that scene, as well as the scene where Shi Zheng and others were submerged by the flood in their dreams. He growled unconsciously, "Shut up, don't say anything, I didn't..."

He didn't think of...harming them.
