Chapter 16: Li Ke, the King of Shu who regretted it
"There is a difference between master and servant, and it is natural for us to die for our master, and the master does not have to be like this."
"Master, please take back your destiny and die for your master, we have no complaints." So the courtesans said in unison.
"Why are you doing that? Do you look down on me Li Zhonghua, or do you think that I am just saying kind words to you, let me tell you, I am talking to you from the bottom of my heart. Li Zhonghua couldn't understand it.
"Sisters, the lord is sincere, everyone doesn't have to shirk anymore, we will all be sisters in the future."
Although Yang Xue didn't agree with Li Zhonghua's approach, she knew that she had to protect her husband's face and support her husband, who was the head of the family.
"The master has always treated us with courtesy, and he has never treated me as a lowly subordinate, but we have already entered the lowly status, and we are all family members of criminal officials, how can we be commensurate with the master's brothers and sisters, wouldn't that harm the master?
If he is used by villains with ulterior motives and accuses the master of plotting misdeeds, the master will not only lose his title, but also find it difficult to save his life. ”
Yang Xue's face turned a little pale, she hesitated and didn't know what to say, and wanted to persuade her husband to think twice, but she couldn't say anything.
"It turns out that you are worried about this, don't worry, when you meet the emperor in the capital, I will do my best, I dare not say that I will rehabilitate your parents, at least let you get out of your lowly status." Li Zhonghua said with confidence.
The origins of these courtesans are very extraordinary, and many of their fathers are heroes who once followed Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and laid down the Tang Dynasty, and they are also once prominent families.
They have been influenced by their parents since they were young and have laid the foundation for martial arts training. But because of his father's sake, he was also affected.
Since ancient times, their fathers have not done anything wrong, but they just stood on the wrong team and chose the wrong master.
After the defeat of the former prince, their fathers, for the so-called loyalty in their hearts, did not switch to Li Shimin in time, but never forgot to avenge the former prince.
They insisted on their hearts and lost their lives, but they affected their children and relatives and were beaten into the lowly list.
They may not have done anything wrong, but unfortunately, their parents or family members have since become worse than death, living in humiliation and despair every day.
"Master, the people who are fighting are approaching us." Luo Feiyan, who has the highest martial arts and the most beautiful appearance, said suddenly.
"Let's hide it first, we can't expose it unless we have to." Li Zhonghua immediately ordered.
Everyone was very tired, and there were a few seriously wounded, and the others were either powerless women or people with some injuries on their bodies, and it was really not appropriate to make a difference, and this team could not afford any losses.
Luo Feiyan is the eldest sister of the ten courtesans, and her grandfather is the famous King of Yanjun, Luo Yi.
After Luo Yi's anti-Tang army was defeated, he was sent back to the capital Chang'an to behead the public, and even his younger brother Luo Shou was killed because he was implicated.
Luo Yi's subordinates protected Luo Feiyan's family, fled everywhere, and were finally arrested.
Her father and several brothers were killed, but only she, her mother and other female dependents, although they survived, were beaten into the lowly status and were never allowed to follow the good faith.
This is probably the reason why she doesn't want to be commensurate with Li Zhonghua's brothers and sisters.
However, it was said that Li Ke, the king of Shu, under the protection of Changshi Quan Wanji and his subordinates, fled into the woods and avoided the chasing man in black in the Phoenix Mountain, but the man in black did not give up and pursued Li Ke, the king of Shu.
In the past two days, they don't remember how many times they have been chased and killed, although they have all saved the danger again and again, but the guards who followed them have also suffered a lot of casualties.
Now there are only a few dozen guards left around Li Ke, most of them have been injured to varying degrees, and there are less than 20 intact guards, and even Changshi Quan Wanji has also suffered a lot of injuries.
But this time, the situation was even more dangerous, and a team of hundreds of black-clothed men found the trace of Li Ke, the king of Shu, and followed closely.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, could only fight back while fleeing, struggling to support him.
Nearly half of the men in black were killed and wounded, but there were still nearly sixty people, but on the side of Li Ke, the king of Shu, there were still people who had the ability to fight, and there were only a dozen people at most, and the others had already suffered very serious injuries, and it was very difficult to run, if there were no unexpected surprises, the hope of surviving was very slim.
"It's His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" After Li Zhonghua saw the person being hunted down, he blurted out in surprise.
"Who is it?"
"Who?"
The man in black and Li Ke stopped fighting almost at the same time, looked at Li Zhonghua's hiding place and said.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, it's me." Seeing that he could not avoid it, Li Zhonghua simply stood up and said generously.
"It's Li County." Quan Wanji said in surprise.
"Brother Li, why are you here?" Li Ke, the king of Shu, said with some surprise when he saw that it was Li Zhonghua.
"Keep killing me, what are you waiting for?" The leader of the men in black shouted loudly.
The man in black, who had stopped attacking, rushed over again.
"Everyone come out and help His Royal Highness the King of Shu kill the enemy together." Li Zhonghua shouted loudly.
The few remaining guards immediately joined the battle, and Luo Feiyan and the sisters hesitated for a moment before rushing in.
With the handiwork on Li Zhonghua's side, although the number of people in black still has an advantage, it is absolutely impossible to win in a short period of time.
However, it is said that Dugu Mou led the army into Phoenix Mountain, chasing and killing the man in black everywhere, and also looking for the missing Shu King Li Ke and Li Zhonghua.
It's been two or three days, and so far he hasn't found Li Ke, the king of Shu, nor has he found Li Xiannan, Dugu Mou has begun to feel desperate, and he can't help but think in his heart that the two of them may have been more than lucky.
When Dugu was about to give up and go back from the mountain, he found traces of a fight at the foot of the mountain, as well as dead and injured men in black, as well as the corpses of the guards of the Shu Palace.
He led people to follow these traces all the way, and when he was about to reach the top of the mountain, he faintly heard the sound of fighting, and hurried over.
With Dugumou's army, the men in black were all wiped out.
Dugumou and Li Ke, the king of Shu, also wanted to leave a few alive, but unfortunately, once these black-clothed people were caught, they immediately chose to bite enough poison hidden in their teeth in advance, and committed suicide by taking poison.
In the Horse Mansion in Ankang County, after everyone had freshened up, Dugu Mou set up Yan to entertain Li Ke and Li Zhonghua, the kings of Shu, and shocked everyone.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Ke, the king of Shu, said: "This time I really want to thank the horse for saving me in time, and I want to thank the Chinese brothers, if it weren't for the Chinese brothers, even if the horse found the king, I am afraid that the king would have died without dying and then dying." ”
"Your Highness, the minister will definitely track down the success of these black-clothed people, and ask Your Highness for forgiveness." Dugumou hurriedly said.
"Forget it, this is also someone who wants the life of this king, but it's no wonder that the horse is a colt." Li Ke, the king of Shu, knew very well in his heart that he had made a great contribution to return to Beijing this time, and some people couldn't sit still.
……
"Brother China, this king really didn't expect that those courtesans who gave you were all heroes among women, and I didn't expect that the lives of you and my brothers were all saved by them." Li Ke, the king of Shu, shook his head and said with emotion.
"I didn't expect it, but I want to thank Your Highness." Li Zhonghua said with a smile. The one who finds the treasure will laugh unhappily!
"This king regrets it now! How about this king exchange the other, ten, nay, twenty more beautiful courtesans, for them? Li Ke, the king of Shu, regretted that his intestines were blue, and he suddenly said to Li Zhonghua.
