The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 164 Past 2

Ye Xi has a handsome appearance, a calm personality, and never takes advantage of others. After fighting many times, she realized that the other party seemed to have developed a sense of confidant with her.

When the two armies met, they seemed to be just friends sparring, rather than generals from two countries.

As time went by, the Nanman army's military resources were severely depleted, but the Nanlin Pass was like an iron wall and was not shaken at all.

The people of Jingguo began to fight back, and the Nanman suffered heavy losses and had to seek peace with Jingguo.

At this moment, Liu Tao took the initiative to find her father and said that she was willing to marry Ye Lang.

It was a good thing that the generals of the two sides could get married. After discussing this matter, Ye Lang readily agreed and took the initiative to write a letter of marriage proposal, asking for an order from the Regent Princess.

That afternoon, Liu Tao's eyes were full of longing for marriage. Her feet were swaying in the pool water, and her smile was sweet and innocent.

"Sister, from now on you finally don't have to fight Princess Yexi on my behalf anymore. She and I will soon be a family. Then you can come to Jingguo, and we don't have to hide our affairs from my future husband's family, right?"

Liu He did not respond. She knew that she was born a shadow, and her father asked her to marry him so that he could seek his protection for her.

In fact, she envied Liu Tao very much, because she could marry the young general whom she had loved for a long time, and stay with him until old age, and their love would never fade.

But for her, it would be extremely difficult to see Ye Xi again from then on.

She would dream every night of the woman in gorgeous clothes and riding a horse, sitting upright on the horse, who would support her when she failed in a fight, and would show a look of mutual understanding when they looked at each other.

She knew that Ye Xi respected her and cherished her as well.

But after that, I never saw him again.

On the day Liu Tao got married, half of her heart was blessing Liu Tao, and the other half was sad that she would never see Ye Xi again.

Since then, they have been separated for many years.

My father was in poor health. One day, he was worried that he might die one day, so he wanted to see Liu Tao very much.

But after sending the letter, Liu Tao's reply was full of helplessness and sadness.

She recounted how Ye Lang had sometimes been indifferent and sometimes furious over the years. She wrote in the letter:

"Sister, he doesn't love me. He loves my face because it has a bit of Princess Jingguo's look to it, but he hasn't given me even a sliver of love. The people in the General's Mansion treat me very well, especially Ye Xi, who is so considerate. Sister, your original choice has always been the right one. She is indeed someone worthy of trust."

[When I was young, I didn’t understand the confusion in my sister’s eyes, but now I understand. Is my sister happy with Xiaoxi?]

"I'm utterly disappointed in Ye Lang, filled with grief and grievances, with no one to vent to. If you have mercy, sister, could you please let me go back to see father and you? I miss you deeply."

This family letter was long and heavy. After reading it, the king's brother and father wanted to raise an army to get Liu Tao back.

But given the national strength, it is impossible to launch a war at will. The people of both countries will be displaced again, which is really not right.

So Liu He disguised himself secretly, got on a carriage, sneaked into Jingguo, and exchanged back his sister who had been waiting at the city gate.

The moment Liu Tao saw her, she burst into tears. She had suffered so much injustice. Not only was her love misplaced, but she had also been humiliated and bullied by Ye Lang for so many years.

In order to be a good wife, she learned Chinese, changed her Chinese name, learned Chinese characters, and did everything she could.

But in the end, she didn't even get an ounce of sympathy from Ye Lang.

When she got married, the southern barbarians witnessed the most beautiful and bright princess. She was as charming and lively as a yellow oriole, and left her hometown with everyone's blessings and praise.

But now, when I saw her again, she was dressed in plain clothes, her face was dull, and her lips were dry. Her face, which was once bright and beautiful, now looked more than ten years older than me.

Liu He immediately wanted to kill Ye Lang. How could a man who destroyed a flower to such an extent have the right to live in this world?

Before parting, Liu Tao specifically told him: Ye Xi is a good person and is consistent in her words and deeds. If you encounter any undecided issues, you can go find Ye Xi and she will definitely protect you.

This name struck Liu He's heart again and again. They couldn't understand the letter written entirely in Chinese characters, but the two words "Ye Xi" made her inexplicably firm, that was her name.

Now that I'm about to meet her, what should I say first? How should I address her? Should I change my clothes? Should I reveal my identity to her?

She was taken back to the general's mansion without her knowledge, full of anticipation and excitement. After entering the mansion, she stepped carefully until she reached the inner courtyard, where Ye Xi happened to be waiting at her door.

Hearing the voice, she turned around and smiled in a particularly soothing way.

"Sister-in-law looks very good today. It seems that she should go out more often in the future."

Although it was summer at that moment, Liuhe felt like it was warm spring.

She accompanied her to appreciate flowers and listen to music, and to write and walk in the garden. Thanks to Liu Tao, she used the excuse of "being in a bad mood" to let Ye Xi accompany her day after day.

Ye Xi was always patient. Without the armor, his expression and movements were very different. Even the last syllable made Liu He obsessed.

Only if Ye Xi is truly by her side, can the emptiness caused by longing for her over the years be gradually filled.

A month later, she truly saw Ye Lang's shamelessness.

He was no longer as high-spirited as before, but had become paranoid and selfish, which disgusted her. That was why she deliberately brought up the past when Ye Lang tried to get close to her, ruining his interest and making him completely disgusted with her.

She originally thought that Ye Lang was Ye Xi's brother after all, and she respected him very much. If she really killed Ye Lang, what would Ye Xi do?

She was afraid that she would never see her again and would never be able to forgive her.

Liu He hesitated and tried to take action many times. In her mind, Ye Xi, staring at her with disappointment and resentment, would pop up, so she could never take action.

But now, Ye Lang disregarded the relationship between brother and sister and did such a thing, even at the cost of killing Ye Xi. His last golden medal of immunity from death was broken.

Although she might still be hated by Ye Xi, at least she would still be alive.

He could still inquire about her news in Nanman instead of guarding her relics and regretting it for the rest of his life.

Ye Lang is paranoid because of his desire for power, but she is even more paranoid than him. It’s just that she is obsessed with Ye Xi. The longer they are apart and the longer they cannot be together, the more she wants to get him.

Whenever he was with Ye Xi, all her silence and calmness were filled with an extremely stiff and crazy look.

Ye Xi is such a good person. She deserves wealth and glory, a long life, and a vibrant life. She should not be implicated by a dirty person like Ye Lang, nor should she be ruined in his hands.

You could say she was too happy to leave or she was out of her mind, anyway, even if one day she really had to leave, she would not leave until she had seen Ye Xi in her own glory and she was no longer in danger of her life.

Before that, she would never return to Nanman.
