Chapter 125 Baiyue, refugees, who betrayed whom?
"Alas, it's only been a short time and we already have to repair the walls and patch the ground again." Yan Lingji looked at the slightly messy yard in the moonlight with a bitter look on her face. Yang Chong had never taken care of this family, so she had to handle these things on her own.

"You're free anyway, so this is a good opportunity to find you something to do." Yang Chong said indifferently. Compared with the last raid on the farmers' house, the damage brought by Tianze and others this time was just a drizzle, a little wet, but not much.

"It's so easy for you to say that. Do you know how long it took me to repair our home last time?" Yan Lingji was angry. She had just failed to repair the damage caused by the farmers three days ago, and now she had to repair it again. How could she not be emotional?

"How about we go together tomorrow?" Yang Chong asked tentatively.

"That's what you said." Yan Lingji then smiled.

"I'm telling you, with the little salary Han Wangan gave me, can I still guard the door for him every day?" Yang Chong said indifferently. Whoever likes to be the commander of the Sima Gate can do it. Anyway, he is just doing the job to get it done.

"Then let's go together." Yan Lingji said happily. Since entering Xinzheng, the two of them have spent much less time together, especially since there are many more people around Yang Chong. Yan Lingji doesn't know how to define those people, but she knows that she doesn't like them, such as the Hu sisters, Nanyue, and Zinu.

"Together." Yang Chong said.

The next day, Yang Chong and Yan Lingji quickly repaired the damaged ground and wall. With nothing to do, they took to the streets and experienced the atmosphere of the city in Xinzheng.

But when we were walking around at noon, we met a group of men, women, old and young, whose clothes were very different from those of Korean people. Among these people, the majority were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and each of them looked extremely weak.

"Are they people from Baiyue?" These people were strangers to Yang Chong and the people of Xinzheng, but they were familiar to Yan Lingji because she had once been one of them.

"So that's how it is. Has the story reached this point?" Yang Chong said to himself.

"What story?" Yan Lingji asked blankly. Yang Chong always said things that made her confused. She was no longer surprised by it, but she was still curious.

"They had to flee to Korea for their livelihood. What do you think the Prince of Baiyue would think when he saw them?" Yang Chong asked Yan Lingji.

"Well, they shouldn't be thinking anything, right? They are refugees, they just want to survive." Yan Lingji whispered. Although there was hesitation on her face, she also knew that Yang Chong would not do anything without a purpose.

"Tianze will kill them." Yang Chong gave the answer directly.

In the original storyline, Tianze and his companions killed all the refugees with the poisonous fog and snakes of the Poison King. The reason was ridiculous. Those who could not survive in their hometown had to flee to Korea. In Tianze's opinion, the Baiyue people's desire to survive was considered a betrayal. He, the prince of a fallen country who could not protect his own people, had to punish these "traitors" with his status as the prince.

Then, a ridiculous scene happened: King An of Han, who destroyed the Baiyue, wanted to rescue these refugees and let them live, but the prince they once served wanted to kill them.

"It shouldn't be, right? Although he is bloodthirsty, he has no reason to kill these refugees. These refugees are not his enemies." Yan Lingji couldn't believe it. If these words came from someone else's mouth, she would never believe it because it was completely illogical. But these words came from Yang Chong's mouth. Yan Lingji didn't think that Yang Chong would deceive her, but what about the logic behind it? How did Yang Chong come to such a judgment.

"If you are willing to save these people, you will see that scene." Yang Chong said.

Yang Chong considers himself not a good person. Many people died at his hands, and many even died tragically because of his energy-absorbing magic. However, Yang Chong always killed with a purpose, and never attacked the elderly, the weak, women, and children who posed no threat. But people like Tianze are different. Under his magical thinking, the people who became refugees because of his incompetence turned out to be traitors and tools for him to show off his power?
It is precisely because of this that Yang Chong hates Tianze so much, and it is not just because of Yan Lingji.

"I save them?" Yan Lingji asked doubtfully. Although she would no longer kill innocent people because of Yang Chong's influence, she could not be said to be very loving.

"Are you willing?" Yang Chong asked.

"If I don't take action, will they really die?" Yan Lingji asked uncertainly.

"He will definitely die." Yang Chong said affirmatively.

"If I didn't know, they would have died. But now that I know, if I remain indifferent, can it be said that I indirectly contributed to their deaths?" Yan Lingji was a little conflicted.

“Not really, but you may not be able to get over the hurdle in your heart.” Yang Chong said.

"But I'm not a good person. If I were still following Tianze, I would kill one of them." Yan Lingji hesitated. "That's just if. Now, the only person in front of me is Yan Lingji of the Yang family." Yang Chong said.

"Then I'd better help them. It's all your fault. Why did you tell me all this?" Yan Lingji said helplessly. She was afraid of all the troubles except Yang Chong.

"Because they may have once represented your childhood." Yang Chong said. Yan Lingji as a demon girl is certainly more attractive, but Yang Chong prefers Yan Lingji as an ordinary person. She should have her own joys and sorrows, her own kindness, and her own malice.

“You are right. If I can, I can help them. Those are lives. They can die, but they should not die at the hands of their crown prince. Baiyue is already a tragedy. I can't let them become a joke anymore, because I am also a Baiyue person.” Yan Lingji said, with a firm look on her face.

"That's perfect. This way we can let Tianze go a second time. By then, the debt between us and Tianze will be completely settled, and you will truly belong to me." Yang Chong said with a smile. He didn't have much desire to save people, but he was very interested in torturing Tianze again, because in the end, he wanted to kill Tianze.

"No, this is your real purpose, right?" Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong suspiciously. She was sure that Yang Chong had always had bad intentions towards Tianze. Although she had no evidence, she had the intuition of a woman. When a woman looks at her man, even if there is no evidence, she can see the truth through intuition alone.

"Do you have any evidence? You can't wrongly accuse a good person without evidence." Yang Chong said innocently.

"Are you a good person? If you are a good person, we should still be in a cooperative relationship now, not..." Yan Lingji instinctively wanted to refute Yang Chong, but she couldn't continue.

"Instead of what?" Yang Chong would not let Yan Lingji go, because he had already guessed what Yan Lingji was going to say, and now he just wanted to hear Yan Lingji say the half sentence that she had never said.

"Instead of now, you tricked me into bed. I didn't realize before that you had bad intentions towards me from the beginning." Yan Lingji choked, trying to use her strength to cover up the blush on her face.

"So you just discovered it now!" Just when Yan Lingji thought Yang Chong would make excuses, Yang Chong directly admitted it.

"I knew it, I knew it. You had bad intentions towards me from the very beginning. I was fooled by you." Yan Lingji said in annoyance.

"There's nothing I can do. Who made you so stupid?" Yang Chong shrugged, looking like someone who had gotten an advantage.

"You still say that." Yan Lingji was completely angry now. Having learned a new skill, she had already stretched her hand towards Yang Chong's waist.

Men are really annoying animals. They say nice things when they don't have what they want, but after they get it, they are too lazy to even deal with it.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Yang Chong surrendered quickly. The skills that women have engraved in their genes are extremely lethal to men.

"Hmph, I knew it. With my beauty, how could you be indifferent to me? It turns out you have had ill intentions towards me since the first time we met." Yan Lingji's embarrassment disappeared, replaced by pride.

"No, you are wrong." Yang Chong's words put an end to Yan Lingji's pride.

"What? I was wrong again? Then when did you have other intentions towards me?" Yan Lingji was stunned and angry. It seemed that she could never grasp Yang Chong's thoughts.

"It's very early, a time you would never imagine." Yang Chong said with inexplicable meaning.

"Very early? I don't believe it. We met for the first time in Dalong Mountain. The earliest time could only be that time. If it was earlier, could it be in the previous life? I say, we are a family now. If you say such words to fool a woman again, I will not be as moved as before." Yan Lingji said with disgust. She had long been resistant to Yang Chong's sweet words. She was not like before, always easily moved by Yang Chong, and then agreed to many of Yang Chong's excessive requests in a confused manner.

"Why can't it be in the previous life?" Facing Yan Lingji's disdain and sneer, Yang Chong was solemn and serious. Yan Lingji would never know how long Yang Chong had been thinking about her.

Meeting Yang Chong's gaze, Yan Lingji's heart trembled. Her cognition told her that Yang Chong's words were just fooling people, but her intuition told her that what Yang Chong said was true, without any reason. But she just felt that it was true and believed it without any reason.

"I don't believe it. Let's go, let's go. Aren't we going to save those refugees? Let's follow them and find out their background first." Yan Lingji suppressed the throbbing in her heart and pulled Yang Chong towards the direction where the Baiyue refugees left.

“That should be a very interesting place.” Yang Chong said with a smile. The old man who could take in the King of Hundred Poisons on his own initiative showed precious kindness in this chaotic world.
