Chapter 109: Different Paths, Different Plans
"A doctor would go into the city and kill the enemy just for a patient?" Su Lanzhi sneered. There was absolutely no way the relationship between them could be that simple!
Shu He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who told you that I went to the city to kill the enemy for Baili Moqing?"
"Isn't it?" Su Lanzhi had already found out everything in the military camp. If it weren't for this woman, Shen Chuan would never have failed during the siege that night!
And she was the one who suddenly appeared in Beisha City with Baili Moqing!
"I'm fighting the enemy for the people of Beisha City, not Baili Moqing!" Shu He's face turned cold. "I hate people who start wars the most! Even if you're just a pawn, I don't have a good impression of you! If it weren't for you saving me before, I wouldn't even bother to say a word to you!"
After hearing this, Su Lanzhi's eyes instantly became deep, deeper and bottomless than the dark sky, and her whole body exuded a hint of coldness.
"The strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest, this is the law of survival! If you want to avoid being bullied, you have to stand on top of the world and step on everyone! What's wrong with that?"
Shu He sneered. She could feel the chill emanating from him. "If it weren't for Shen Chuan, you wouldn't be here. I would have thought you were that Shen Chuan!"
But from what he said, it was clear that this person was a loyal admirer of Shen Chuan.
"Survival rules! Humph! Did the world force you to kill? Force you to invade? Or did the city you invaded bully you? Did those civilians and soldiers you killed trample on your dignity and wantonly insult it?"
"No?!" Shu He stared at the burning flames, his face full of disdain. "If you're ambitious, just say so. Why are you using excuses like 'heaven's law'? Such excuses are only laughable and disgusting! It's like you thought you could deceive the whole world, but in the end, the whole world sees through your intentions, and you're the only one entertaining yourself!"
"you……"
"What? Do you think my words are harsh?" Shu He saw that he was getting anxious and interrupted him without giving him a chance to speak. "You don't think it's shameful to invade other people's homes, and you still think other people's words are harsh? Are you feeling guilty?"
"hypocritical!"
Su Lanzhi's face became uglier under the red flames. She even forgot to turn the grilled fish in her hand. One side had turned black and gave off a burnt smell.
Shu He quickly grabbed one of the grilled fish, a look of distress in his eyes, "You're really bad at grilling fish! What a waste of a good fish!"
Su Lanzhi was stunned, thinking that the woman's expression changed too quickly. She was talking about such a serious topic just now, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if nothing had happened, and she was complaining about his cooking skills as if nothing had happened!
"Okay, stop staring at me like that. I'm not talking about you. After all, you're just a soldier following orders. It's not up to you to make decisions." Shu He turned over the grilled fish and moved it away from the fire when he smelled the fragrance.
Su Lanzhi understood what she was saying. She was just blaming someone indirectly!
"Then who are you talking about?" Su Lanzhi also took back his grilled fish and felt a little relieved.
Shu He tore open the fish and took a bite. It was fresh and fragrant, tender and smooth, and there were not even any bones. It was really surprising!
"Who else could it be? That damn Shen Chuan!" She had heard Baili Moqing talk about that Shen Chuan.
It was said that he was cruel and vicious by nature, with an unpredictable personality. He would kill people at the slightest provocation, and he treated human life as worthless! No wonder he was able to issue such an order to save face, even at the cost of the lives of Beidi soldiers, and to cause casualties to Tianqi!
After hearing her words, Su Lanzhi couldn't eat the fish that was right next to his mouth. The palm-sized fish blocked most of his face, and only his eyes, which were waving in the firelight, were filled with anger.
"I've also heard that Dongli King Baili Moqing is cruel and violent by nature, and even committed treason more than four years ago! So why did you willingly stay by his side and become his physician?"
"Where did you hear that rumor?" Shu He was slightly stunned and looked at him with dissatisfaction. When did Baili Moqing become cruel and violent by nature?
"Then where did you hear that rumor?" He looked at her angrily, his face puffed up, as if someone had touched his favorite cake.
Shu He was speechless for a moment, and after a long pause, he said, "No, Shen Chuan, why are you so excited?"
"Then I say, Baili Moqing, why are you feeling so guilty? Isn't this just a relationship between a patient and a doctor?" Su Lanzhi retorted to her again.
"I……"
Shu He was choking. She couldn't say, "The one you're talking about is the father of my child. Of course I'm going to get angry!"
"Alright, alright. We are in this place where life and death are uncertain. It is unknown whether we can get out. Why are we arguing over those two people?" She focused on eating fish and didn't want to argue with him anymore.
Su Lanzhi snorted softly. She clearly felt that she was being unreasonable, so she acted like a spoiled brat! It really is true that only women and villains are difficult to raise!
"I have nothing to do, so let me tell you about you!" As she ate, she began to wonder, "Why did you become a spy?"
She heard that if the identity of a spy in this world is discovered by the enemy, he will die a miserable death!
"Aren't you afraid?"
Su Lanzhi looked calm, "What's there to be afraid of? I want to leave, and no one can stop me."
Shu He was surprised and a little unconvinced, "So confident? Do you think the four generals around Baili Moqing are just for show?"
Su Lanzhi's handsome face revealed an unruly and confident expression. "Unless Baili Moqing recovers, or Zhenli and Xizhu join forces, I'm confident I can enter and exit Beisha City with ease!"
"You're so powerful?" Shu He smiled lightly, a hint of sarcasm on his face. "If you're so powerful, why did you end up like me? Besides, when you saw the drooling spider just now, I saw how pale you turned. If you didn't know, you'd think you were seriously injured and bled to death!"
Su Lanzhi glared at her. Anyway, he didn't lie!
Seeing him silent, Shu He's expression suddenly changed, and he asked seriously, "Are you afraid of spiders?"
"What did you say!"
Shu He saw that he threw away all the fish in his hand, and he looked very angry!
She laughed, a hearty laugh, and the fish in her hand tasted more and more delicious.
"You said that only Baili Moqing can compete with you? I think a big spider can scare you so much that you can't walk!"
Shu He's words were merciless, causing the young man's handsome face to show a bit of unnaturalness.
"What do you know?!" His voice was as cold as ice, as if he was hiding something in his heart that could not be told to outsiders.
"If you were six years old and woke up in the middle of the night with spiders crawling all over your body, would you still be able to face these disgusting things so calmly?"
When he was a child, someone played a prank on him. They put three-eyed spiders half the size of a palm in his quilt. Although the three-eyed spiders were not poisonous, he was only six years old at the time, and when he slept in the middle of the night, his body was covered with spiders.
He woke up with a scream. His small bed was covered with spiders of all sizes. His face, neck, hands, and all the exposed skin were covered with spider bites.
Some little spiders even crawled into his clothes and crawled all over his body...
He could never forget the feeling at that time. Even after many years, he would still feel creepy every time he thought about it!
That was a lifelong shadow on him! Even after learning martial arts, he couldn't overcome this fear. This was also why he recognized the slobbering spider, a rare sight in the world.
He knows every spider in the world!
"I've been teased like this at the age of six?" Anger flashed across her face. There really was no shortage of villains!
"What then?"
"What happened next?" Su Lanzhi saw a hint of guilt on her face, and her expression turned cold again. He didn't need anyone's pity or sympathy!
"You've become so powerful, why don't you teach those who teased you a lesson?"
The fervent firelight illuminated his face, as if a similar fire had ignited in his heart, but in the end, the fire died out...
"That person is the most valued heir in the family, and countless people are protecting him. What can I do..."
Shu He saw the loneliness and helplessness on his face, and she thought of herself.
"Although I've never been covered in spiders, I've been fooled around since I was a kid. I even came to the brink of death..."
Su Lanzhi looked at her, her eyes wandering, as if she was thinking of some bad experience. She put away her aggressiveness and became fragile.
Suddenly, her eyes turned sharp and resolute, as if she had made up her mind. "I've died once, and I will never allow anyone to harm me a second time! As for those who have harmed me, even if they are the closest blood relatives in the world, I will make them pay the price they deserve!"
"I agree with one thing you said. If you want to avoid being bullied, you have to make yourself strong! So strong that no one can ignore you or plot against you."
After hearing this, Su Lanzhi was slightly touched. She didn't expect that there were people in the world who shared the same ideals as her.
Seeing a smile on his face, she added, "But a strong person would never prove their strength by invading or bullying the weak!"
She saw his expression harden again, clearly disapproving of her words. She looked away and stopped talking to him.
Forget it, we have different ideas and cannot work together.
After that, the two of them remained silent.
The night in the valley was a little chilly. A gust of wind carrying moisture blew over the lake, sublimating and drying outside the burning flames.
Early in the morning, Shu He moved her body and just opened her sleepy eyes when a sharp cold wind rushed towards her, carrying an extremely strong murderous intent.
She immediately drew the dagger from her waist, a cold light flashed, and green liquid flowed down, corroding a large area on the ground.
