Li Que sat in his seat and drank wine, he was surrounded by imperial guards, Li Que liked wine very much, because wine could make him forget all his sorrows, but at this time Li Que could not forget his sorrows, because he could feel that the princes and ministers of Changhu Bay around him were holding hostile eyes towards him, Li Que could only smile bitterly in his heart, he was too familiar with such a gaze.

Li Que drank a glass of bitter wine alone, in fact, the wine was not bitter, the bitter was Li Que's heart, Li Que also noticed at this time that Duan Hai was laughing with others, drinking the wine in the cup, Duan Hai was not only surrounded by people from the imperial domain, but also many people from Changhu Bay, Duan Hai's personality is open-minded, straightforward, and very suitable for being friends, sometimes Li Que will feel that he is very envious of Duan Hai's popularity.

Li Que was thinking silently, at this time, he felt that a person sat down beside him, Li Que turned his head to look, only to see a strong, majestic man came to his side, this man was handsome, he looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a smile on his face.

Li Que felt that this person was very familiar, he looked at the man hesitantly, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, he immediately looked at the seat of King Qi, he looked at Queen Yue, and then turned back to look at the man beside him.

"The son of the Yue family in Yuezhou?" Li Que said softly, and the man immediately smiled again.

"Yuezhou Yue Tong, I've seen Guard Li here." The man, named Yue Tong, clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile.

Li Que knows the noble identity of the Yuezhou Yue family, the Yuezhou Yue family has a very high reputation in Changhu Bay, and the current lord of the Yue family is Yue Zhenqi, the prince of Changhu, Yue Zhenqi has two children, they are Yue Ying, the queen of King Qi of Changhu Bay, and Yue Tong, the successor of Yuezhou and Yue Ying's younger brother.

"I wonder why Gongzi Tong came to my little guard's seat and talked to me, a little guard?" Li Que also returned the salute with fists with both hands, and asked softly with an indifferent expression.

"Oh, I just want to take a closer look at what kind of person is able to give my brother-in-law, King Qi, a dismount at the boundary of Changhu Bay."

Yue Tong was still smiling, as if he was saying something unimportant, Li Que sighed in his heart that this person was not easy to deal with, but Li Que's face was still nothing unusual, he raised the wine glass in his hand, raised his head and drank it all, and then looked sideways and looked at Yue Tong indifferently.

"The king's order cannot be violated, we are courtiers, as long as we do things for the monarch wholeheartedly, and the others will not participate." Li Que said softly.

"Oh, what if the king orders you to die?" Yue Tong asked with a smile.

"The king let the ministers die, and the ministers have to die." Li Que said indifferently.

"Then what if the king orders you to kill your entire family with your own hands?" Yue Tong asked with a smile again.

"Then I can't ask for it!" Li Que's eyes lit up, his expression made Yue Tong put away his smile, Li Que knew that at this time, Yue Tong must have thought that his spirit was not normal.

"Hey, what a loyal dog." Yue Tong sneered.

"It's urgent, maybe the loyal dog will become a mad dog, Gongzitong, do you want to see it?" Li Que also sneered.

"I guess I'd better forget it." Yue Tong stood up slightly, and then nodded slightly at Li Que, Li Que knew that he had intimidated Yue Tong, at least Yue Tong didn't dare to trouble him easily.

Yue Tong hugged his fists and saluted, and then left Li Que's place, Li Que shook his head slightly, this kind of conversation didn't make him feel happy.

Li Que drank the bitter wine alone again, he looked at Emperor Xia Ling and King Qi, those two people were laughing there as if nothing had happened, Li Que couldn't help but admire these political players, he felt that he might not be able to do this at all.

Li Que stood up, left the table alone, walked out of the noisy banquet hall, he walked alone in the courtyard of the main city of Lihu City, Lihu City is a very beautiful city, built on the Long Lake, the beautiful Long Lake is in full view, Li Que wants to go to the Long Lake for a walk, but he knows his identity, he is the imperial guard, so he can't leave his post without permission.

Li Que was wandering in the courtyard, at this time he saw a faint light in a courtyard, Li Que was suspicious in his heart, it stands to reason that people should be on the side of the banquet hall at this time, how could there be people here? Could it be that the servants are busy here? Li Que held questions and slowly walked into the courtyard.

This was originally not big, and in the middle of the courtyard was a small ancestral hall-like building, and the faint light was emitted from the inside of this small ancestral hall, and the small ancestral hall flickered with faint candlelight.

Li Que gently walked up the steps and stood outside the door of the ancestral hall, by the faint candlelight in the ancestral hall, he could see a figure in it, the shadow of a woman was reflected in the interior of the ancestral hall by candlelight, Li Que held the hilt of the sword with his hand, he felt that all this was too weird, Li Que put his left hand on the door of the ancestral hall, and then gently pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is very clean and tidy, in the middle of the ancestral hall, the stone statue of the Emperor of Heaven is enshrined, the Emperor of Heaven is the god that the vast majority of people in the Dongzhou Continent believe in, but Emperor Xia Ling is very disgusted with religious beliefs, Emperor Xia Ling ordered the abolition of various religious ceremonies and festivals, and in the imperial area, it is to demolish the vast majority of the ancestral halls.

Li Que looked at the ancestral hall, except for the faint candlelight, but there was no one, Li Que was even more shocked in his heart, he looked up at the stone statue of the Emperor of Heaven, he felt that the Emperor's eyes seemed to be staring at him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Guard Li, I don't know why you didn't gather with everyone in the banquet hall, but you came to this small ancestral hall."

Just as Li Que was thinking about it there, suddenly a gentle female voice came, which shocked Li Que's whole body, he hurriedly turned his head sideways, and found that a woman had walked out of the gauze tent next to the stone statue of the Heavenly Emperor, and this woman was none other than Queen Yue Yingyue.

Li Que looked at Queen Yue, and then put his mind at ease, he thought that Queen Yue was hiding behind the gauze tent before, no wonder he didn't see anyone when he came in, and he thought he was a ghost, but he also felt a little strange that Queen Yue was not by King Qi's side, and came to this ancestral hall alone.

"Xia Guan is just a boring and noisy banquet, and he just wants to be alone to relax, but how could Queen Yue come here alone?" Li Que said softly.

"Heh, this is my own home, where do I want to go, do I still have to report to Guard Li?" Queen Yue sneered, although her tone was still very gentle.

"The lower officials don't dare!" Li Que knew that Queen Yue was not a weak woman, so he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly apologized, while Queen Yue just snorted and turned her head to stare at the stone statue of the Emperor of Heaven.

"I'm here to pray for the innocent dead people in Fuzhou, hundreds of people in the Luo family in Fuzhou were killed for no reason, Guard Li, tell me, what else can I do besides praying for these dead souls?" When Queen Yue said this, she turned her head and stared at Li Que fiercely, and her sharp eyes made Li Que feel very uncomfortable.

"You can't do more, and neither can I, because none of us can disobey the emperor's orders." Li Que said coldly, he felt that he couldn't explain anything, anyway, in the eyes of the world, he was just such a stupid and loyal vicious dog.

"Guard Li, you really scared my child, do you know...... My second son, Wen Jun, has always regarded you as a big hero and a hero, but today, I don't know what that kid will think in the future, I just know that his heart is incomparably complex and incomparably tangled. Queen Yue said softly, Li Que felt that her eyes seemed to become gentle, this is probably because she mentioned her child, only a gentle mother would be so gentle when she mentioned her own child.

"Then I really should let Gongzi Wenjun change his worship, I can't afford to be a child's idol." Li Que said helplessly, but he noticed that Queen Yue seemed to be glaring at him fiercely again.

"Guard Li, I hope you should also start believing in the Heavenly Emperor, so that every time you kill those innocent people, you will have someone to repent of!" Queen Yue said fiercely, changing her previous gentleness, and then she turned to leave.

Li Que stood alone in the ancestral hall, he looked at the back of Queen Yue leaving, and then looked up at the stone statue of the Emperor of Heaven, Li Que sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly.
