Chapter 39: I Wish You Happiness (I)
The autumn wind blows the fallen leaves in the courtyard, and the yellow leaves dance in the wind, like withered yellow butterflies. At this time, only the deciduous sycamores were left with depressed branches, and the verdant leaves between the treetops had completely fallen, and the bare branches were swaying in the cold wind.
Li Kuan stubbornly raised his head and looked up at his father on the high platform above, he knew that this qiē was actually mixed with countless interests, countless considerations and compromises. He was angry inside, but he was so powerless. For Li Er, this empire is what he cares about the most, and he, who is determined to be a ruler through the ages, how can he give up the opportunity for the long-term stability of the empire because of the love of his children? He has paid too much for this world, and it is difficult to give up. How could he not know that in fact, the eldest grandson Wuji repeatedly proposed the marriage between the two children, out of the consideration that the eldest grandson's family has always been prosperous? If it weren't for this, after being rejected last time, Eldest Sun Wuji would definitely not bring up the old matter again this time. But Li Er knew what, in the end, he still agreed to the marriage, and even agreed to the eldest grandson Wuji to use an extreme means to persuade Li Liqing.
"Fate! Hehe...... I don't believe it either, but Kuan'er, do you know that if you are in this emperor's family, then your fate has already been doomed! Because you are my sons and daughters, if you want to sit firmly in this country, then you have to sacrifice and pay, and this is the price you pay for enjoying the life above these tens of thousands of people. Li Er stared coldly below, the young man who dared to stare at him with a pair of eyes that contained endless anger.
"But ......" Li Kuan was speechless, yes, as a prince and princess. They possess so much that they enjoy it. Then you have to follow the rules of the game and give something. But why is this kind of sacrifice so cruel? Why does the royal family use women one by one? In exchange for this life? Why did the long-term peace and stability of the empire be sacrificed in exchange for the happiness of the royal daughters? This qiē Li Kuan has long been dissatisfied in his heart, but he has always been soft-spoken, and now when he catches up with his sister, he knows what kind of connivance his inaction has been all these years, and what kind of bitter consequences have been caused. So now he's leaving, he's going to take back the procession. At least the people he cares about should be happy.
"Kuan'er, you go and think about it, why is our Li family sitting on this throne in this world? Think it through, and you'll understand! After all, Li Er didn't know what Li Kuan was thinking. just saw that Li Kuan was speechless by his own words, so he waved his hand and let him leave.
Li Kuan turned around, and then walked in the direction of the east, his back was so lonely, bleak, his tattered clothes were slightly raised in the autumn wind, the half of the arrow on his back was still inserted in his heart, the blood was still dripping down the arrow, and the red blood beads were dripping. Falling on the stone slab on the ground, bewitching blood splashed. His body gradually became firm with the steps he took. The spine grew straight, like a spear that pierced the sky rather than bend.
"Huh?" Seeing the change in Li Kuan's posture, a gleam flashed in Li Er's narrow eyes. The whole person fell into deep thought, and then after a moment of reflection. Immediately shouted: "Wei Chigong, where is Cheng biting Jin!" ”
"The last general!" Two tower-like men have been standing quietly under the high platform. Waiting for Li Er's command, he suddenly responded loudly at this time, and the two of them had already taken their respective blades in their hands at this time, a pair of black steel whips shining with heavy light, and a horse lance that was two feet long.
"Catch up and stop that rebel!" Li Eryi gave an order, and he only then figured out why that kid would go in that direction, before he thought that Li Kuan was going back to his mansion, so he would choose to go to the east, his mansion was separated by a wall in the prince's East Palace, and there was no mistake in going in that direction. But he remembered the resolute eyes when Li Kuan left, and the more and more determined steps, and he remembered that the team that greeted the relatives also went in that direction. So he hurriedly ordered his two fierce generals to hurry up after him, hoping that it was still too late.
"No!" Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin are also decisive people, after the two of them got Li Er's order, they immediately chased after Li Kuan like two galloping horses, this time the two of them obviously went all out, and the speed of running was even faster than when they were chased by Li Kuan before. The will they received before was to bring Li Kuo to the front of the saint, so they unconsciously retained so much strength, this time it was obvious that they needed to use their strength to eat, they didn't dare to hide their secrets at this time, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fulfill Li Er's will, that would be the big deal.
The two of them carried swords in their hands, like two horses galloping through the corridors of the palace. Catching up with Li Kuan's footsteps, the speed was amazing, like two winds, the wind that rolled up rapidly, blowing through the laneway, rolling up the dust on the ground, and knowing two yellow dragons following them.
Of course, Li Kuan felt the tremor of the ground behind him, and he also began to accelerate, but he was also a human after all, after experiencing the battle of the city gate, and then with one enemy and two and Wei Chi Gong, Cheng Biting Jin and the two were entangled for a long time, now even if his endurance is amazing, at this time it is far from being as strong as it was at its peak, on the other hand, Wei Chi Gong and the two deliberately hid it at the beginning, and now they are almost recovered, so even if Li Kuan sped up his pace, it was also a wild run of a meteor, but he was gradually caught up.
The procession of welcoming relatives can already be seen, not far ahead, the sound of gongs and drums, representing the festive drumbeat, is playing in Li Kuan's ears at this time, which is so harsh. The arrow behind him was still bleeding continuously, taking away his body and making him feel a wave of tiredness hit his heart. His steps became heavy, and his originally light and agile steps also became sluggish at this time, and the two strongest generals of the Tang Dynasty behind him were rapidly approaching.
The big red sedan chair was carried by eight sedan chair men, the happy tent hung lightly, blocking the eyes of longing for visits, the people sitting in the sedan chair were full of mixed feelings in their hearts at this time, or came to this point, the original desperate struggle, whether it was worth it or not, the original scene was changing in front of her eyes, her tears flowed down her cheeks, the sedan chair gently bumped, and kept telling her that from now on she is the wife of her cousin of the new champion, and from now on she is a member of the eldest grandson's family. Thinking of the scene when the queen mother summoned her on the night ten days ago, she knew that this qiē was inevitable after all, the low sobbing of the queen mother, the bitter words of her uncle, this qiē made her, a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world, at a loss, and finally agreed, because they promised that as long as this marriage was successful, they would let the brother who had protected him since childhood get out of the grounding and reunite the army from now on. She likes the second brother who is dressed in military uniform and riding on a galloping horse.
Li Kuan gradually approached the procession, and even his eyes could already see the armor on the guards walking at the back of the line, as well as the red tassels flying in the wind on the helmet. He saw the man in a wedding dress who walked in the front, riding a tall horse, and the eldest grandson Chong with a proud face. His steps quickened again, but just as he quickened his pace, a gust of wind hit behind him, and his steps had to stop.
Ahead, blowing and beating the welcoming team, it was so festive, less than a hundred steps behind them, the three figures were scuffling together, Wei Chigong was about to catch up with Li Kuan, the steel whip in his hand waved forward, which of the shorter of the pair of steel whips came out of his hand like this, killed Li Kuan, and successfully blocked Li Kuan behind the welcoming team. Not far behind him, Cheng Yanjin was chasing after him quickly, as long as he stopped for a moment, the two of them would once again join forces to fight this youngest grandmaster in the Tang Dynasty and His Royal Highness the most respected prince in the Tang Dynasty.
"King Chu, don't stop this marriage, Princess Changle has already gotten on the sedan chair, she is already a member of the eldest grandson's family, at this time, you catch up, except for intensifying the contradictions between each other, there is no use listening to the last general's words, just stop it!" Wei Chigong said.
"Wei Chigong, don't stop this king, otherwise you will ......" Li Kuan looked at Yu Chigong who had caught up and said coldly.
"King Chu, what else? Your Majesty is really angry this time, if you mess up this marriage, it is not only a matter between the eldest grandson's family and you, but also Her Majesty, the queen's mother, and even Princess Changle are difficult to do! Think about it, Princess Changle was pointed at behind her back, and even spread some other big rebellious gossip, what kind of harm is this? Cheng Yanjin caught up with some panting.
"Don't worry about these two generals!" Li Kuan stretched out his hand as he spoke, and a bright silver spear appeared in his hand: "If the two generals stop this king like this again, then don't blame this king for being ruthless under the gun!" With a shake of the spear in his hand, he pulled out a spear flower, and the spear pointed diagonally at the two people opposite.
"Well, offended!" Wei Chigong's pupils shrank, he didn't find out how Li Kuan took out the bright silver spear, but he still pointed the steel whip in his hand forward, and the steps under his feet stepped out diagonally, and attacked Li Kuan. Cheng Yanjin also followed Yu Chigong's footsteps, and the horse lance in his hand stabbed forward straight, like a streamer, and like a flashing stone fire, the wall came out like a dragon and killed Li Kuan. The two of them exuded a tragic momentum, which was the murderous aura they had accumulated over the years of battlefield conquest. The two of them pressed up like thousands of troops, and the whole world was like a Shura arena.
"Kill ......" Li Kuan rose up and shouted, the sound shook the sky, like a thunderstorm, the whole body walked with the gun, the spear was like a silver dragon, at this time, the teeth and claws rushed up, even if there were thousands of troops and horses on the opposite side, they would be torn to pieces.
"Stop the car!" Li Lizhi heard the shouting sound from behind, the whole person trembled slightly, and the slender delicate body trembled at this moment, and stopped the sedan chair that was walking forward with a crying voice.
"Ding ......" Li Kuan's spear and Yu Chigong's steel whip came into contact for the first time, and the spear turned into a silver dragon, opening its bloody mouth and devouring it towards Yu Chigong, but it was blocked by a steel whip. Li Kuan forcibly suppressed the bruise that had reached his throat, waved his spear upward, and then blocked the horse lance that Cheng Biting Jin had stabbed in front of him.
Wei Chigong blocked Li Kuan's attack, but the whole person was shocked by Li Kuan's power and kept retreating, and he really found out at this time that the strength of this prince had reached the point that he could not resist. (To be continued......)
