Villain Lady

0Shan Yi wanted to wholeheartedly refute whatever words Wei Liuying said to him. But upon seeing the expression on her face, he definitely couldn't bring himself to do that. She was merely stating a fact based on his performance so far.     0

Still, he couldn't stop his foul mouth from complaining a bit.      

"You're really annoying."     

Wei Liuying blinked her eyes. "I'm merely stating a fact, Shan Yi."     

"Ugh, I know."     

"And you haven't answered my question."     

"Oh, the one about whether I'll come or not?" Shan Yi tied the bag to the horse and shook his head. "I'm not heading to the capital city if that's what you're asking. His Highness will not allow all of us to come with him to the capital city without leaving anyone for defense."     

"Yan will stay behind."     

"Can he even defend a city?"     

At this time, Shai Yi didn't even bother hiding the scorn he had for Shi Yan. If it was about trading and bargaining, Shi Yan was indeed the best. But when it came to defending cities… they would rather ask other people rather than Shi Yan.     

Shi Yan, who was in his residence, suddenly sneezed. He looked at the sky, wondering whether his charm finally worked or not. He also wanted to be fancied by beautiful woman, ah!     

"No." Wei Liuying also knew about it, so she was also being straightforward. Her eyes landed on Shi Lu Wen, who came to her while carrying a tray.     

"Shan Yi! Liu Ying!" Shi Lu Wen greeted with a smile on her face.     

"Good morning, Shi Lu Wen."     

"Lu Wen, do you come to accompany me?" Shan Yi immediately entered his shameless mode.     

Shi Lu Wen rolled her eyes and passed the tray to Wei Liuying. "Give this to Yang Xian. He needs to drink medicine every day if he wishes to participate in battle. The bottle also contains enough medicine for several days and you only need to heat it up."     

"Thank you." Wei Liuying held the tray carefully.     

Shan Yi watched Wei Liuying's action and felt slightly amused.     

"I won't be staying here any longer. Make sure that you don't forget anything before departing." Wei Liuying had resumed her position as the strategist once more as she reminded Shan Yi.     

Shan Yi nodded. He recalled that they were still in the middle of the war and his gaze landed in the direction of the capital city. For a moment, ruthlessness flashed within his eyes. One that he didn't even bother to hide.      

"Liu Ying."     

"Yes?"     

"Should you fail… no, I'm not jinxing things, I'm only informing you that in the worst case scenario, Shan Xi Gang will lead rebellions." Shan Yi's expression was solemn.     

Wei Liuying paused for a moment. Her dark eyes were staring back at Shan Yi, who was declaring his position. She knew that he had his own reasons for wanting to fight against those in the capital city.     

But…     

"You'll die."     

Shan Yi's skill as strategist was not good enough to compare to the veteran and seasoned soldiers. If he were to clash with Ji Shu, Wei Liuying knew that Shan Yi would not even last for long before he would be defeated soundly.     

The men who followed him would also die under Ji Shu's hand.     

It would be pointless in the end.     

"Do you really think that bad about my skills?" Shan Yi was speechless. "I'm not going to die. What I want is to make sure that b*stard can't sit on that place."     

He's cursing Ji Shu?     

At this moment, Wei Liuying seemed to realize something that she hadn't realized before. Whenever Shan Yi was talking about Ji Shu, he was still thinking about Prince Ji Sheng and it might be because he was loyal that he didn't want the worst to happen.     

Should they fail, he would take revenge.     

However…     

"You're not only one person but also the leader of the entire Shan Xi Gang. Could you still make that decision when you know that it'll implicate the entire people of your village?"     

Shan Yi was stunned as he didn't expect Wei Liuying to ask him this question. It was true. There were a lot of people in Shan Xi Gang, including children. If he waged a war unprepared, it was the same as walking straight to their death.     

Even though he felt that he would do the right thing, it was inevitable that he would still drag the innocent.     

"We'll do our best. In the worst case scenario, do you really think that I and Yang Xian will stay quiet?" Seeing Shan Yi's state, Wei Liuying asked as her eyes turned deep. She was staring at the front yet at the same time was also beyond that.     

For a moment, Shan Yi could feel chills on his back when he saw Wei Liuying's gaze. She was merely standing there but he felt as if he was thrown to hell and there was nothing he could do.     

Intimidation?     

Or killing intent?     

Shan Yi's eyes narrowed but he didn't have the time to investigate more because Wei Liuying had already returned back to normal. Looking at the seemingly ordinary young girl in front of him, Shan Yi suddenly felt that he had never known Wei Liuying before.     

He should have expected that someone who was honed on the battlefield would not be the same as ordinary people.     

She was not a pampered young lady nor an ordinary soldier.     

She was the strategist and also a leader at times, which meant that her skills would be filled with killing intent too.     

"No." Shan Yi looked at Wei Liuying.     

Wei Liuying nodded and turned around. "I'll bring the tray to Yang Xian. You may return back first to ensure that your men can still do their best for the work. Don't carry unnecessary things because it'll only hinder your journey."     

"Yes!"     

Shan Yi looked at Wei Liuying's departing back. His mind was replaying the terrifying scene he experienced just now. Those who fought with her might not realize it… but they were honing her to become a soldier slowly but surely.     

"Are you really going to fight?" Shi Lu Wen slowly asked from the side. Her large eyes were staring straight at Shan Yi in search for answer.
