Chapter 57: A Difficult Choice (Part II)
"The commander can rest assured, Zhang understands. Zhang Xiaoxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Except for Li Yue'er, everything else is easy to discuss. "This is Ye Gucheng's bottom line.
"Except for Li Yue'er, there is no need to discuss!" Zhang Xiaoxu smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Now, the only thing the temple wants is Li Yue'er." β
"Zhang Xiaoxu, have you really figured it out?" Ye Gucheng's face became ugly again.
"I know that the commander is reluctant to Li Yue'er because of Mrs. Zun, but, commander, Li Yue'er is just a slave and has no blood relationship with you. Seeing that Ye Gucheng was silent, Zhang Xiaoxu continued: "Of course, the temple will also make some returns. β
Ye Gucheng was instantly furious.
"The commander will listen to me first. Zhang Xiaoxu said quickly: "The two countries in the Northeast have my temple rudder, and the temple can come out to show the two kings that the Huaxia Kingdom has no ambition, and issue an oracle to stop the sword soldiers, so that the crisis of the Huaxia Kingdom will naturally be alleviated, of course, if the commander wants to include these two countries in the territory, the temple will also help." β
This is a deal! Li Yue'er was exchanged for the growth of the Huaxia Kingdom.
There is no doubt that for Ye Gucheng, there is no harm in all benefits! And no ruler would refuse such a condition!
Zhang Xiaoxu fought hard in order to succeed in making Ye Gucheng handover, of course, he also knew very well that the more Ye Gucheng was in power, the more stable his position would be.
"How will you deal with Li Yue'er?" Ye Gucheng didn't know what mentality to say this!
Zhang Xiaoxu was overjoyed, he had already heard Ye Gucheng loosen his mouth, and said slowly: "According to the pagan disposal, three days later, the birthday of the gods, at that time, the temple will announce to the people and sacrifice the gods in public." β
Ye Gucheng changed color again, gritted his teeth and said, "You want to burn Li Yue'er?"
"This is the custom of the temple, and it is the most merciful punishment for the heathen. β
"If I tell you that Li Yue'er is just a magician and doesn't know any miracles at all, do you believe it?" Ye Gucheng couldn't imagine the scene where Li Yue'er was put on Xingtai.
"Commander, no one will care what Li Yue'er's identity is!" Zhang Xiaoxu glanced at Ye Gucheng deeply, and said in a deep voice: "As long as the temple has one result, Li Yue'er must die." β
Ye Gucheng turned around abruptly and walked outside the hall.
"Commander, I hope you think clearly, a woman and a kingdom, which is more important!" Zhang Xiaoxu's eyes flashed coldly.
Ye Gucheng didn't look back, he didn't even pause in the slightest, he opened the closed door, and the sunlight fell in an instant, but he didn't feel a trace of warmth!
"Brother-in-law!" Li Yue'er saw that Ye Gucheng finally came out, and she was extremely happy and flew over, and suddenly plunged into the other party's arms.
At the same time, the soldiers on both sides of the confrontation looked relaxed.
"Yue'er, if you encounter danger, use magic to escape, remember, never come back!" Ye Gucheng hugged very tightly, and his voice was very low.
Li Yue'er was stunned, and in an instant, her body was pushed away.
Facing the puzzled gaze, Ye Gucheng turned around ruthlessly and said in a deep voice: "Li Yue'er will be handed over to the temple for disposal." β
The high priest shook up instantly, and hurriedly signaled the golden group to step forward and pull down Li Yue'er, who wanted to follow Ye Gucheng.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" Li Yue'er was completely flustered, looking at the back of the soldiers who were leaving, struggling to keep up, but her strength was limited, so she could only continue to cry: "Brother-in-law, don't you want Yue'er?"
Ye Gucheng's body was stunned for no reason, and immediately, he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
"Congratulations to the commander!" Zhang Xiaoxu stared coldly at Li Yue'er, who was still struggling with her life, and said in a deep voice: "Take it down, and three days later, sacrifice to the gods." β
"Yes. β
The two members of the Golden Regiment immediately carried Li Yue'er to the cell.
Outside the Divine Hall, the two forces confronted each other tightly, one side was the more than 10,000 Huaxia army that rushed to hear the news, and the other side was the thousands of golden regiments that were sticking to the Divine Hall.
The number of the two forces is different, and the momentum is far apart, the Chinese army is murderous, on the other hand, the golden regiment, although the majestic posture is there, but the eyes are afraid.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, more than a thousand soldiers led by Ye Gucheng finally appeared!
Seeing this, the red-robed bishop breathed a deep sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered to make way for a passage, God knows, how frightened he was, for fear that the Huaxia army would not be able to hold back and rush over.
The leader of the Huaxia army saluted quickly, and immediately, he looked at Ye Gucheng, who was alone, suspiciously, and said, "Commander, where is Miss Yue'er?"
Ye Gucheng's face sank, and he continued to move forward silently. Xuanyuan Jing on the side glared fiercely at the leader of the army, and the latter buried his head and did not dare to continue speaking.
Taihe Temple.
When Li Yueli saw Ye Gucheng coming in, she stood up happily, and Xiao Hongchen was lying in her arms!
Ye Gucheng stepped forward quickly and took the baby in his arms, perhaps it was the father and son who connected their hearts, and the originally quiet baby suddenly laughed happily.
"Sure enough, my father is closer, I tease him for a long time and refuses to laugh, you laugh when you hug him!" Li Yueli's tone was sour.
Ye Gucheng was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but bury his head and kiss the child's cheeks, which caused the baby to laugh again and again.
Seeing this, Li Yueli couldn't help laughing, and then, as if thinking of something, she wondered: "Husband, why did you change all the palace guards and servants in the palace?"
"After all, we are from Shangdu, and the people here have never been as well served as our original servants, and I have ordered the servants who used to serve us to come. Ye Gucheng replied quietly.
"However, my personal maid is also from Shangdu, why did you also remove her?" Li Yueli didn't seem to accept this reason.
"I don't like her. Ye Gucheng's answer was also domineering.
Li Yueli also knew Ye Gucheng's temperament, so she glanced at her angrily, and then continued to complain: "Husband, even if you want to change people, you have to wait for our servants to arrive, you see that now, these temporary servants are careless, and many things are also a mess. β
Ye Gucheng didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he changed the topic and said: "I think Hongchen seems to be sleepy, should I let the nurse take him to sleep?"
Hearing this, Li Yueli stepped forward quickly, and after taking the child, she shouted to the nurse to take him to sleep.
Ye Gucheng noticed that there was still a women's dress next to the bed, but it was not finished yet, and he said curiously: "Yueli, when did you learn to be a female celebrity?"
Li Yueli turned her head and said with a smile: "Hongchen is growing up slowly, and it is indispensable to change clothes in the future, so I specially learned the art of making clothes from the clothier." β
"Just let someone do this kind of thing! Why are you bothered! Look at it, your fingers are stuck like this. Only then did Ye Gucheng notice the remaining pinholes on Li Yueli's fingers, and he was distressed.
"Kid's clothes, I want to make my own. Li Yueli smiled sweetly, her expression full of gentleness.
Only then did Ye Gucheng put down the slender fingers in his hand, turned around and picked up the semi-finished product on the bed to look at it carefully, and chuckled: "When did the lady like this kind of colorful clothing?"
"That's not for me to make for myself!" Li Yueli looked at the clothes in Ye Gucheng's hand, and continued with a smile: "Yue'er, this girl grows up, and she makes trouble every day that the clothes are not good-looking, and I made it for her on purpose." β
Ye Gucheng's movements froze, and he slowly put down the clothes in his hands.
Li Yueli didn't notice Ye Gucheng's abnormality, and continued to say to herself: "Speaking of Yue'er, it's really strange today, it's almost noon, and I haven't seen it, husband, did you go shopping for a long time yesterday? You see, this has exhausted Yue'er!"
Ye Gucheng didn't know how to answer, so he could only choose to remain silent.
"Forget it, I'd better go see her!" Li Yueli thought that lunch was about to take place, so she went to visit her in person.
"Yueli. Ye Gucheng's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "You don't have to go." β
Li Yueli was shocked in her heart, she saw a bad premonition from Ye Gucheng's face, and said in a trembling voice: "What's wrong with Yue'er?"
Ye Gucheng fell silent again all of a sudden.
"What happened to Yue'er?" Li Yueli was completely anxious.
Ye Gucheng rarely feels guilty about one thing in his life, and he can even say that he has an uneasy conscience!
Xuanyuan is the first thing, and Li Yue'er is undoubtedly the second!
Li Yueli couldn't hear a response for a long time, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said slowly: "I just want to know now, what's wrong with Yue'er?"
Ye Gucheng took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Yue'er used magic to save you and the child, and the temple thought that it would seriously shake their status, so they took Yue'er away." β
Li Yueli finally knew why the palace suddenly changed its servants and palace guards, and obviously, Li Yue'er's matter was leaked. However, if the temple could really snatch Li Yue'er from Ye Gucheng's hands, she wouldn't believe it, unlessγγγγγγ
"You handed Yue'er over to the temple?"
Ye Gucheng's face twitched, speechless.
"She's my sister, husband, you don't know, right?" Li Yueli almost gritted her teeth and said this.
"She has no blood relationship with you, she is just a slave that you kindly saved!" This is the only word that Ye Gucheng can paralyze himself.
"Husband is really a good memory!" Li Yueli smiled, tears dripping silently, and said coldly: "It's just that I don't know if my husband remembers, your child, your lady, if it weren't for Yue'er, the slaves in your mouth sacrificed their lives to save each other, would they still be able to appear in front of you?"
Ye Gucheng's eyes crossed with a trace of pain, and his fists tightened unconsciously.
"Yue'er may not be my sister, or she may not be our savior, but she is definitely not a slave. Li Yueli clenched her fists, and suddenly roared again: "Ye Gucheng, the commander of Huaxia Kingdom, have you heard, Yue'er is not a slave, she is not." β
Ye Gucheng saw that Li Yueli's emotions were completely out of control, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yueli, your body has just γγγγγγ β
"Get out. Li Yueli shook off Ye Gucheng's hand and said coldly: "Please go out, I'm tired." β
Ye Gucheng was stunned, silent for a moment, and said softly: "Then you have a good rest and take care of your body." β
Li Yueli didn't pay attention to Ye Gucheng's concern, at this moment, what filled her heart was the complaint against Ye Gucheng and what the Heart Chill Temple did.
Yue'er, what an innocent and kind girl, just because she can use magic, she is not tolerated by the temple!
Is the temple really the representative of the gods on earth?
At this moment, Li Yueli was confused!
