The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

Hearing his question, the people below immediately knelt down and shouted to him: We, your servants, swear to follow our lord until death.

The King of Qi looked at the man kneeling on the ground and laughed nervously. In this case, everyone should accompany me. This time, either I die or the Night King dies.

After saying this, he looked into the distance with gloomy eyes, as if he could see the enemy over there through the distant sky.

Xiji looked at the babies who were eating with relish, licked a little meat porridge from each of their small bowls, and picked up a chopstick of side dish for Ye Wang. He said with concern: "Sir, you have been very busy with official duties recently, so you should eat more to ensure that you have enough physical strength."

The Night King looked at the food in his bowl, then looked at Xiji's concerned eyes, and responded softly, "Hmm."

Xiji watched the two children eating quietly, holding their bowls seriously, and felt that they were really like father and son. He couldn't help but smile with relief, and then seemed to have thought of something, looking at Ye Wang and hesitating.

Feeling Xiji's gaze, the Night King put down his bowl, looked up at him, and asked: What's wrong?

Xiji hesitated for two seconds, but couldn't help asking: My lord, are we going to go to war with the King of Qi?

The Night King knew that Xiji asked this because he wanted to know a definite answer. He looked at Xiji and said seriously: You don't have to worry about these things. You just need to know that I will definitely win. That's enough. I will protect you and the children. Don't worry.

Xiji looked at the Night King who was staring at him seriously, nodded, and said in the same cautious tone: I naturally believe in you, my lord, but I hope you can take care of yourself and put yourself first in everything.

At this point, Xiji glanced at the two babies who started running on the ground after eating. He felt a little embarrassed, but still looked at King Ye very carefully and said: When you are fighting outside, please remember that the children and I are waiting for you at home.

The Night King was shocked, then looked at Xiji with earnest eyes, and under his expectant gaze, he said solemnly: I will.

Xiji originally thought that the final battle would break out soon. While he was waiting anxiously, there was no sign that the two sides were going to go to war.

As the days passed, the King of Qi was like a knife hanging over their heads, and it might fall on them at any time. Xiji did not dare to relax at all, as he always felt that if he relaxed, something terrible might happen.

When the babies were two years old, a spy who had been lurking for a long time was caught in the palace. The spy was caught because she was about to poison the babies' food, but was caught on the spot by Xiji who came back with the babies to find toys.

When Xiji learned that the spy was sent by the King of Qi, he knew that the knife signed by the King of Qi had finally fallen.

Xiji didn't know what happened to the spy later, because that night he and his babies were personally sent to a remote mountain village by the Night King's personal guards. The people in the entire village were disguised by the people who protected them.

Xiji had no objection to this, nor did he ask to stay, because he knew that his king would be able to become the master of the world as he said. If he could not help, he could not become his weak point and let him be controlled by others.

Before leaving, Xiji left a sachet for the Night King, which contained his and his baby's hair, as well as an amulet he got from the temple.

He only hoped that his king could return safely.
