I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 378 The Last Lyrics
Outside Yuanzhou City, Meishan.

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's already predestined.

When You Jia followed Ning Yongnian and stood on a boulder halfway up the mountain, looking down at the extremely silent Yuanzhou City with the monstrous fire spreading beneath her feet, she felt that everything around her was so familiar.

Three months ago, I had been here.

At that time, Wei Changtian came to Yuanzhou to save Liang Zhen and Liang Qin, so they bid farewell here.

At that time, Yuanzhou City had not yet been broken, and there were densely packed soldiers outside the city. Wei Changtian was going to enter the city alone, but he wanted to go with him but was stopped.

I still remember when I said——

"Young Master, you must come back safely. Sister Xu is still waiting for you at home."

The first half of the sentence is my sincere words, and the second half of the sentence is a supplement to cover up the embarrassment.

What made Youjia more unforgettable than this sentence was Wei Changtian's answer.

"I cherish my life very much. Besides, even if it is for you, I will not risk my life."

"."

One "you" will make the infatuation in my heart blossom and bear fruit.

Then, he followed Wei Changtian to Fengyuan.

The days in Fengyuan were the happiest period of Youjia's life.

I can see Wei Changtian every day, and I can eat with him, play cards together, and discuss Yan Luo's case together. Although every time I talk, I will talk elsewhere.

You Jia still remembers being amused by Wei Changtian's "new words and new words" every time; she still remembers that Wei Changtian would try to drag herself into the water every time she lost to Chu Xianping in a poker game; The quarrel that happened, and then quietly complained to myself about the latter's savagery
Li Wutong should like the son, but he doesn't know how they are doing now.

I don't know, whether the son will remember me in the future
The memories came to an abrupt end at this point, and tears filled my eyes unconsciously.

Unlike the pampered Lu Jingyao and others, Youjia's experience in Longwei made her seldom cry before.

But since I met Wei Changtian, I have changed
A happy smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently held the dagger hidden in his sleeve with his left hand.

You Jia also received the assassination order sent to everyone in the fellowship club.

Although what Wei Changtian said was "If you are not fully sure, you don't need to do it."

Although Ning Yongnian is already at the second rank, the chances of him being only at the fourth rank to succeed are extremely slim.

But Yujia still decided to give it a try, even at the cost of her own life.

This is for Wei Changtian.

It is also for the lives of two million innocent people in Yuanzhou City.

"."

A gleam of silver light emerged from the sleeve, and the dagger smeared with poison slowly lifted up, and moved a little closer to the man who was always looking down on Yuanzhou City with his back turned to him.

If it was a head-to-head confrontation, even if it was a thousand or ten thousand times, Yujia would never have the slightest chance of winning.

But if it is a sneak attack, maybe it can really succeed.

"Plop, plop."

Feeling her heartbeat getting faster and faster, Yujia's hand holding the dagger was also trembling uncontrollably.

But at this moment, the man who was close in front of him slowly turned around.

"Youjia, are you going to kill me?"

There was no trace of surprise on his expression, nor did he strike back.

Ning Yongnian just asked a nonsense question without moving, and then said the second sentence under Youjia's panicked eyes.

"In that case, I will let you kill me."

"Go ahead."

"."

There is no doubt that Ning Yongnian's actions today have greatly exceeded all of You Jia's expectations.

His eyes widened suddenly, staring at Ning Yongnian's peaceful eyes.

At this moment, Youjia suddenly had a feeling.

The man in front of him didn't lie to himself, he was really willing to be killed by himself.
"For, why."

There were more tears in the eyes, Youjia didn't know why she asked this question more.

And Ning Yongnian didn't answer either, just looked down at the approaching Han Mang, and then closed his eyes.

"."

"boom!!!"

The rushing mountain wind mixed with a muffled sound resounded in the mountain stream, and it returned to calm immediately.

The mountainside was empty, there was no one to be seen, only a small peach blossom scattered on the ground.

Of course, it is no longer spring now, so this thing must not be a real peach blossom.

It is actually a hairpin with a peach blossom-shaped pendant.

This hairpin is a small item that a man won from an old man playing chess.

It was also the only thing this man gave to a woman.

It is this woman, the most precious object.

The blood soaked the peach blossom pendant, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in the wind.

Last year today, people face peach blossoms.

Missing, Mo Xiaochunfeng.

Yuanzhou City, Stone Mill Lane.

Looking at the huge flames burning in the city through the window, Li Si scratched his head in doubt.

Everything that happened in the city today was really weird.

All the gates of the city were sealed, and the Dafeng soldiers ran up and down the street, and even rushed into their own houses to search them wantonly.

Fortunately, I am usually cautious enough, otherwise those tokens of the Freemasonry will probably be searched out.

Just don't know what's going on.

Although he is a "high-level" Freemason at the hall master level, except for a few "business partners" with low positions in the Dafeng Army, Li Si has no information to help him, so he has been tossing for a long time during the day Didn't find out anything.

He actually felt a little guilty about it.

"Forget it, it will be fine in the future."

With a word of self-consolation, he took out a piece of mother-of-child jade from his bosom and prepared to report to Chu Xianping what happened in Yuanzhou City today.

But at this moment, Li Si suddenly felt dizzy.

"Huh? What's going on?"

He reached out and tapped his forehead twice, cursing inwardly.

As a warrior, Li Si had long forgotten that he hadn't had a disaster for many years, so he didn't take it seriously.

But when his brain began to become dull little by little, and he could no longer even control his body, he finally seemed to understand something.

He suddenly understood why the city was on fire, but there was no one to put out the fire.

He suddenly understood why the old man next door suffered from lung disease and coughed until midnight every day, but he didn't make any movement tonight.

He suddenly understood what would happen to him later.
"Grumpy"

The milky white Zimu Jade fell from his hand, rolled a few times on the ground and stopped at his feet.

No.

Will not.

I won't just die like this.

Obviously the fortune teller said that he could live to the age of seventy, but now he is still far away.

Obviously, he had just hit the big luck, got acquainted with Mr. Wei, and became the hall master.

Obviously, he hasn't asked for a wife or given birth to a baby yet.

Obviously he didn't die on the battlefield.

Correct!
I will never die
Thinking of it this way, it seemed that his body had gained strength out of thin air.

Li Si smiled and bent down, wanting to pick up the mother-of-child jade, tell Chu Xianping what happened, and then go to sleep well, and then it will be a new day when he opens his eyes.

But as soon as the rickety body bent down, it couldn't straighten up again.

A private house a few miles away from Shimo Lane.

"Wow!"

"Heroes from the thirty-six prefectures are on standby, and Fuyuan prefecture is more than just a lone army!"

"The righteous army will win in the end, why should the heroes burst into tears!"

"Quan regards Sai Xue as Huanglong and drinks it immediately!"

"Crossing the Mang River, sweeping away Li Feng, one after another, aroused mourners!
"."

The fire that spread all over the city has burned to the vicinity of the small courtyard, but amidst the sound of "crackling" fire, there are sonorous and powerful lyrics coming from the house.

This was originally a gathering of "people with lofty ideals" in Yuanzhou City, singing a play about "expelling foreign enemies and regaining Yuanzhou".

Although most people in Yuanzhou don't care whether their surname is "Ning" or "Li", there are always some people who have different feelings for their family and country.

They often gather here to discuss how to cooperate with the imperial army to drive Dafeng's army out of Yuanzhou.

Of course these people know the risks of this move, and many of them have lost their heads because of it.

However, from the day when Dafeng occupied Yuanzhou City, the number of such an organization has only been much larger.

"Aspirations are not rewarded. Cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The thick smoke squeezed in from outside the house made the old man in the shabby costume on the stage cough a few times, and the words of the play stopped for a while.

With difficulty, he raised his eyes and looked at the "spectators" under the stands, and there was no longer the familiar sound of drums and boards in his ears.

The old man has sung operas all his life in Yuanzhou City, so he naturally knows that there must be rules from beginning to end in opera singing.

And since he is willing to come here to sing an opera, he understands the truth of "loyalty to the emperor and justice to the country".

It's just that he might not believe until the last moment before his death, who exactly did they die for?
"."

Standing up straight trembling, the old man vigorously shook the backing flag on the back of the costume, clenched his left hand up, and dragged his right hand down, posing in a pose that symbolized "loyalty".

Then, with all his strength, he sang the last two lines of the play in a long, intonation.

"I die before my ambition is paid, and I have children and grandchildren in the mountains and rivers!"

"This life is not wasted, and I will devote my life to serving the country faithfully!"

"Serving the country faithfully, I will spend my whole life!"

"."

In the fifteenth year of Tianji, July fifteenth.

Yuanzhou City, this thousand-year-old city that has gone through countless vicissitudes and changes, and the ownership has changed several times between Fengning and Ning, was reduced to ashes overnight in a big fire.

There are more than [-] million people in the city, and more than [-] Dafeng soldiers, a total of nearly [-] million people.
dead.

　It’s midnight after finishing this chapter with complicated emotions. I have a lot to say, but I don’t know where to start, so let’s wait until the end of the volume in a few days to summarize.
