Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2648 Letter
“Yes,” Chunyu Ye said calmly.

"How could this be..." Chu Yan said in disbelief, "That's the Azure Dragon God."

“That dragon is incredibly stupid,” Chunyu Ye sneered. “Ying Baoyue told him to go find Zhao Guang and Baili Celing. He was eager to complete the mission and cared too much about their lives, so he naturally fell into the trap.”

"You should know very well, right? To go against someone like Master, you have to be completely cold-blooded."

Anyone with a weakness can be manipulated by Yun Zhongjun.

Chu Yan frowned. "Don't you call him father anymore?"

Does he treat me like a son?

Chunyu Ye glanced at him. "I called him that before only to achieve my goal."

"Is your goal to kill Baoyue?"

Chu Yan had mixed feelings. Although Chunyu Ye had saved him, he didn't understand why the other party had taken on this task.

"Otherwise what? Are we just going to let you die?" Chunyu Ye chuckled. "If you commit suicide, that woman will feel guilty again."

Chu Yan stared at him in astonishment.

"If you care so much about Baoyue's feelings, why were you able to kill her?"

He doesn't understand.

“I’ve said it before, this is my mission,” Chunyu Ye said calmly, looking at the dried-up blood pool. “Perhaps I was born to kill her.”

He was a knife carefully trained by his father to stab the Qin emperor; he and she were destined to be enemies to the death.

"Then you can't..." Chu Yan was at a loss for words; he couldn't understand Chunyu Ye's mind at all.

"You clearly didn't want to kill her, so why did you go?"

“It’s all fate, and I can’t solve it by running away,” Chunyu Ye shrugged. “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

"For me, it's better to go to where she is and deal with her than to stay here and deal with Li Ji."

Chunyu Ye smiled brightly, "The happiest days of my life were when I went to kill her incognito."

The time when Helian Yan and she first met, the time they spent scheming and plotting in the Cloud Mist Forest, was a memory he wanted to carry with him on his journey to the Underworld.

"You...you're a madman." Chu Yan simply didn't know how to describe this person.

“So let this madman handle the rest,” Chunyu Ye stood up, smiling at Chu Yan. “You should have a way to send a message to her, right?”

"Remember to tell her what you should tell her."

"Goodbye."

……

……

Southern Chu, on the shore of Lancang.

The Northern Wei rebels, having lost their strategist, were in chaos for a long time. Many Western Rong soldiers and Northern Wei soldiers who got lost in the swamps were either killed or captured by Southern Chu soldiers. In the end, only about half of them remained and fled south under the leadership of Zhou Fu.

Ying Baoyue and Gui Chen led their men south in pursuit, eventually arriving at the Lancang Sea.

"Your Majesty, the scouts have discovered the enemy's movements."

Ying Baoyue opened the battle report and thought carefully for a moment. "For this position, it would be more appropriate to attack tomorrow morning."

“The men my father sent should still be several dozen miles away,” Chen Zichu said. “If possible, it would be more appropriate for the two armies to launch a pincer attack at noon tomorrow.”

"Then it's decided. The attack will be changed to noon. Inform the soldiers to set up camp and rest first," Ying Baoyue nodded.

"Order!"

Gui Chen accepted the order and stepped out of the makeshift tent. Just as he stepped out of the tent, Ying Baoyue suddenly felt a violent dizziness.

"Hug the moon!"

A familiar voice echoed in her mind.

This is Ji Jiashu's voice.

"Your Majesty?" Gui Chen noticed Ying Baoyue's unusual behavior and turned around abruptly.

"I'm fine," Ying Baoyue steadied herself and covered her head. "Go and arrange military affairs first." She hadn't been addressed this way in a long time.

Ying Baoyue walked out of the tent, found a tree a dozen steps away, and hurriedly went over to hold onto the trunk.

It is a tree network.

Ji Jiashu, far away in the Epang Palace, was actually calling out to her through the tree network.

Ying Baoyue held onto the tree trunk and entered a meditative state. Soon she saw the giant spirit tree, and then she heard Ji Jiashu's voice more clearly.

"Hug the moon! Hug the moon!"

"I'm here," Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, "What happened?"

What urgent matter could have prompted Ji Jiashu to contact her through the Tree Network?

Ji Jiashu, who was far away in the Epang Palace, leaning against a tree trunk, heard Ying Baoyue's response and his voice became even more anxious, "Baoyue, where are you now?"

"I am in Southern Chu, and I have already reached the Lancang Sea."

"Really? You've already arrived in Southern Chu..."

Ying Baoyue heard Ji Jiashu take a deep breath on the other side of the tree net, "What's wrong? Has something happened in the north?"

"No, a letter was delivered to the Epang Palace today..."

Ji Jiashu, who had just been very anxious, suddenly became hesitant and stammering.

"What letter?"

Ying Baoyue frowned. "No matter what happened, tell me everything in detail. Don't hide anything."

“I don’t mean to hide it, but…” Ji Jiashu gritted his teeth, “Baoyue, this letter was sent from the Zen temple, its authenticity is unknown.”

Perhaps it was a scheme by the Zen temple that threw Ying Baoyue, who was far away in the south, into a state of utter confusion.

Ying Baoyue keenly sensed that Ji Jiashu's attitude was off. "Is it related to Aji?"

Ji Jiashu, standing on the other side of the tree, suddenly widened her eyes. "How did you know?"

"Tell me, who signed the letter? And what happened to Aji?"

"The letter says that Zhaohua was ambushed in Xirong and trapped by Yunzhongjun and Baiquanshen," Ji Jiashu said. "As for the signature on the letter, it is from Elder Chu Yan of the Chan Academy."

Ying Baoyue remained silent.

"Baoyue?" Ji Jiashu called out worriedly.

He didn't dare to speak just now because he was afraid that the news would disturb Ying Baoyue's peace of mind, but since it involved Li Ji, he dared not remain silent.

Ying Baoyue remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I understand."

"Embracing the Moon?" Ji Jiashu's eyes widened. "Aren't you going to send someone to rescue her?"

"Who can save him?" Ying Baoyue's fingertips dug deep into the tree trunk. "He is the most powerful god. If even he fell into a trap, who has the ability to save him?"

Ji Jiashu actually had someone in mind, but he didn't dare to say it.

The only person capable of going to Xirong to rescue Li Ji is Ying Baoyue.

Ji Jiashu suggested softly, "Baoyue, how about I..."

“You mustn’t go,” Ying Baoyue knew what he was planning just from his tone, “The Epang Palace can’t do without you.”

Just like this time, Chu Yan probably wanted to contact her, but didn't know her exact location, so he sent the letter to the Epang Palace.

"Perhaps this letter is fake, just to undermine our morale," Ji Jiashu gritted his teeth and said it anyway.

After all, it's highly suspicious that such a letter was sent out so suddenly.

“I know,” Ying Baoyue said softly, “so don’t believe it.”

Ji Jiashu felt a chill in his heart.

He understood that only Ying Baoyue knew whether this matter was true or false.

But she won't tell anyone else.
