Chapter 1676

Chen Ning followed the stairs and climbed up the city wall. She looked into the distance and saw the situation inside and outside of the city.

From afar, she could see dust rising from the south. It seemed like the army of the South Yue was approaching. Looking to the north, she saw the citizens dragging their children as they fled north. The soldiers of Yuezhou were holding onto their weapons and protecting them along the way.

The city of Yuezhou was completely empty. There was not a single soul on the streets. Liu Chengyuan's 300 soldiers were hiding somewhere. Not even a shadow could be seen.

The man with a thousand faces stood behind Chen Ning. Seeing this, he felt a chill invading his body and couldn't help but shiver.

It was as if in the large city of Yuezhou, only he and Chen Ning were left. They were about to welcome the 100,000 strong army of the South Yue.

He revealed a bitter smile and thought he must be crazy. Why didn't he leave Yuezhou with the citizens? Why was he standing on the city wall with this crazy girl and watching the army of the South Yue approach?

"I say, girl, you sent everyone away. You didn't even leave a single person behind. Could it be that you want to fight the 100,000 strong army of the South Yue by yourself?"

The man with a thousand faces knew he was going to die, so he wasn't as polite to Chen Ning anymore. What aunt, she was just a girl!

Chen Ning looked at the dust flying in the distance. Her lips slowly curled into a faint smile as she turned around.

"Who said I was alone? You didn't leave either, did you?"

The man with a thousand faces froze and said, "I … I wanted to see a pitiful weak girl like you. I wanted to stay and help you collect your corpse!"

Chen Ning smiled at him. Her eyes were as clear as water and there was not a trace of panic on her face. She slowly said, "Do you think I will die?"

"Not that you will die. You will definitely die. More dead than dead!" The man with a thousand faces said hatefully.

"It looks like you hate me a lot? Since you hate me so much, if I die, wouldn't that be exactly what you want? "Chen Ning softly smiled.

The man with a thousand faces turned his head and said, "Hmmph, it's because I hate you that I want to stay and watch you die!"

Chen Ning's eyes did not even blink as she looked at him. That clear gaze seemed to see through his heart, as if it was saying: Aren't your words just saying one thing and your heart saying another?

The man's face couldn't help but turn red. He didn't want to look at her anymore.

Chen Ning suddenly said, "If you want to leave, it's not too late. Since the South Yue army hasn't arrived, you should leave through the north gate with the citizens."

The man with a thousand faces said angrily, "I'm not leaving! Unless you give me the antidote! It's better for me to die than to live like this for the rest of my life! "

Chen Ning smiled and said, "Alright, since you're not leaving, then you can stay. Remember what you promised me. After it's done, I'll definitely give you the antidote."

The Thousand-Faced Young Master said sarcastically, "You want to hear me play a song before you die? Very well, bring me the zither. I'll fulfill your final wish."

He thought to himself, when the Nanyue army arrives, he and she will die without a burial. It would be better to take advantage of this time to fulfill her conditions, take the antidote, and leave this damned place.

"Chen Chen. Ning didn't say. Ning and Chen," Chen and said.
