Chapter 14: Li Yueli's Contradictions
Time, minute by minute, just when Gao Zizhong didn't know how to end, and Li Jun didn't dare to make a move, Li Yueli personally led hundreds of iron horsemen to finally arrive.
Li Yueli saw Gao Zizhong surrounding his younger brother, and Ye Gucheng was obviously seriously injured, her face suddenly turned cold, and she reprimanded angrily: "Gao Zizhong, what do you want, do you want to rebel?"
Even though the strength of the Gao family is not weaker than that of the Hou Mansion, Gao Zizhong was also frightened into a cold sweat when such a big hat was buttoned down, and realized that the government soldiers were still encircling, so he hurriedly scolded the government soldiers to retreat, and immediately, he hurriedly explained to Li Yueli: "Sister Li, this is a misunderstanding, I 。。。。。。 ”
"Sister Li, is your name? What are you?" Li Jun suddenly gained confidence, angrily interrupted Gao Zizhong's self-defense, and then cried to his sister who came on: "Sister, thank you for coming in time, if you come one step late, I'm afraid I'm going to make people hurt." ”
"Tell me what's going on. As Li Yueli got closer, she found that Ye Gucheng's face was pale and terrifying, and he was already in a coma.
Immediately, Li Jun told everything that had just happened.
"Sister Yueli, I can testify that what Brother Jun said is the truth. The girl, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
Gao Zizhong found the girl hidden in the crowd, however, it was also this girl who made his face change again, because this girl was the second daughter of the Huang family, Huang Ying's sister, Huang Lan.
Although the strength of the Huang family is not as good as the Gao family, it is not much different, and if it offends the Hou Mansion and the Huang family at the same time, the Gao family will definitely not be able to finish eating and leaving.
Gao Zizhong hurriedly explained again: "Miss, it's really a misunderstanding, yesterday I lost a batch of military uniforms and bows and arrows in my camp, and now that I think about it, it must be deliberately done by someone with a heart, the purpose is to provoke a dispute between the three of us, and his heart can be punished." ”
"I am a lonely man, and I don't know who has the audacity to steal uniforms and bows and arrows from the heavily guarded Gao family's barracks. Li Yueli's voice was very flat, however, the coldness in her eyes did not decrease but increased.
Hearing this, Gao Zizhong was short of breath for a while, although this was a fact, but even he himself was difficult to believe, let alone the people who had just been besieged.
"In addition, according to my understanding of Brother Gao, Brother Gao has always regarded himself as an elegant person, and he often says that he doesn't like swordsmen, so I don't know why he personally led the troops here today?"
Gao Zizhong was speechless in the face of another questioning, and he was just a civilian, and he would definitely not be able to find it afterwards, as for the reason for personally leading the troops, it was even more inappropriate to explain more.
In fact, Gao Zizhong is not a blind and impulsive person, how can he hear such a thing, he is also half-convinced, but when he sent someone to pay attention to Ye Gucheng's movements, and found that the other party led people straight to the direction of Li Jun's outing, he immediately believed it, and hurriedly ordered troops to come to protect it, and now, it has become a deadly trap.
Li Yueli saw that Gao Zizhong's expression was strange and she couldn't justify herself, so she naturally defaulted to being a thief, and she hated it even more in her heart, if it wasn't for the stakes, she really wanted to split the other party with a knife.
Finally, Ye Gucheng didn't know how to support it, and he passed out, which frightened everyone all at once.
In order to help Ye Gucheng heal his injuries first, Li Yueli had to order the troops to be collected and returned home, and when she passed by Gao Zizhong's side, she glared at him viciously, and the latter smiled even more bitterly.
Kofu.
The middle-aged man roared, slapped him hard, and scolded angrily: "Rebel, have you read all your books in the flower building? Do you have such a brain? A slave will play you around, and you dare to claim to be a talented person." ”
Gao Zizhong sat on the ground, covering his face and not daring to squeak.
Seeing this, the housekeeper on the side hurriedly changed the topic and said, "General, the only plan now is to see how to explain to the Hou Mansion, in case the Hou Mansion holds the young master accountable, what is the good?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The Hou Mansion doesn't have to worry too much, Li Jun has not suffered any damage, on the bright side, Li Bufan does not dare to directly turn his face with our Gao family, I will go to the door to explain it in person, in addition, strictly investigate the military camp, the loss of military uniforms and bows and arrows involves personnel, and all push the downtown beheading to show the public." ”
The generals on the side understood their intentions and walked away quickly.
Only then did the middle-aged man find that his only son was still sitting on the floor and no one helped him up, and his eyes were suddenly cold.
The housekeeper was the most observant of words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly stepped forward to help Gao Zizhong to his seat.
The Marquis of the West.
Li Yueli silently watched as the doctor helped Ye Gucheng finish the medicine, and slowly spoke, "How is his injury?"
"Miss Hui, although there are many wounds, there is no big problem, what caused the coma was this poisoned arrow, fortunately the poison is not bad, the venom has been cleared, and I will wake up tonight soon. "The doctor reported truthfully.
Hearing the doctor's answer, Li Yueli finally put her mind at ease and looked at the haggard handsome face lying on the bed, looking confused for a while.
A servant quickly entered the side room and saluted Li Yueli: "Miss, Master Hou is invited!"
Li Yueli came back to her senses, glanced at Ye Gucheng deeply, and turned her head away.
Hall.
Li Bufan sat on the Taishi chair with an expressionless face, and on the side, Li Jun kept complaining.
Seeing Li Yueli coming, Li Bufan finally spoke: "How is Ye Gucheng?"
"Returning to my father, it's fine. ”
Hearing this, Li Bufan nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "What do you think about today's events?"
"On the surface, it should be Gao Zizhong's doing, however, my daughter can't understand what is the benefit of doing this?" Although Li Yueli is only 18 years old, she is a talented woman, of course, her talent is not in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in wisdom and figuring out people's hearts, many things, Li Bufan likes to discuss with her.
Li Bufan nodded with satisfaction, but unfortunately, the only heir of the Hou Mansion is not this outstanding daughter!
Li Jun looked very unhappy, at least, from his father's attitude, he could see that he looked at peace and quiet, and he couldn't help but stand up angrily, and said angrily: "It seems that my father is not ready to investigate Gao Zizhong's sin, my father wants to be a good person, and I won't let him go." ”
"Stop. Li Bufan was so angry that Li Jun didn't shake him, turned his head and walked out of the hall directly.
"Father is not in a hurry, my younger brother is still young, I will persuade him when I go back. Li Yueli hurriedly enlightened.
That's all I have to say!
Li Bufan shook his head helplessly, and then, as if thinking of something, he said slowly: "How did Ye Gucheng know that Jun'er was in danger?"
"It is said that a security officer found that a group of people sneakily went to the suburbs, Ye Gucheng inquired and learned that his younger brother was on an outing, and he was afraid of accidents, so he took people there. ”
Hearing this, Li Bufan was relieved, glanced at Li Yueli deeply, and continued: "Li'er, in three months, you will go to the Nansheng Continent with your relatives, at that time, after you are the queen of the country, don't forget to seek benefits for my Western Regions country, and the king also takes a fancy to your intelligence, so he will give you this glory." ”
Glory!
Li Yueli was bitter in her heart, if there was a choice, she would rather not have this glory!
"What's the matter?" Li Bufan frowned when he saw that his daughter was silent.
"No, my daughter must be fortunate not to be dishonored!" Li Yueli came back to her senses and hurriedly buried her head to cover up.
"Okay!" Li Bufan nodded with satisfaction.
Night, silence.
A shadow gently pushed open the wooden door, and in an instant, it quickly closed.
Gentle steps on the ground, cautious, as if hesitating, as if worried about waking up something.
Moved to the edge of the bed and sat down in a soft chair.
A face, with sharp edges and corners, showing fortitude, and sword eyebrows and starry eyes are handsome, and it is also this face, which has appeared in dreams countless times.
Ye Gucheng still remained asleep, and his face looked much better than before.
"This may be the last time I'll see you! I know, I shouldn't have come to see you, because, every time I see you, my resolve will always waver, and I know that we can never be together, and that you and I are a chasm that can never be crossed. Li Yueli's voice was very soft, just like the strength of her touching her handsome face, so soft that it was almost imperceptible.
"But, why do I feel so uncomfortable when I think of never seeing you again, if I can choose, I would rather not be born in a Hou family, I would rather be born in a common family, and only then can I be with you without any scruples! But, Ye Gucheng, what about you? Are you like me, like me?" Li Yueli's tears were hazy, and the hand that touched her handsome face became more and more reluctant.
"I remember the story you told me, Cinderella put on glass slippers and became a princess, and then married a prince and lived happily together! But, Ye Gucheng, what if Cinderella was a slave? Is there also a pair of glass shoes that belong to a slave, which can make him a prince? During this time, I have been thinking about this question, and then, I slowly realized that a story is always a story, even if a slave can really wear a glass slipper, he will never become a prince, because, in the eyes of the world, a slave is a slave! The so-called slave becomes a prince is nothing but self-deception!"
As the tears fell, Li Yueli slowly got up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and turned away.
Hearing the sound of the door closing next to his ears, Ye Gucheng's closed eyelids slowly opened, and his eyes were full of complicated colors.
Soon after, Gao Fu personally went to the Xijing Hou Mansion to give gifts and apologize, and at the same time explained the misunderstanding, and the Xijing Hou also cooperated, and generously accepted boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, expressing his understanding.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Gucheng won the heart of the Marquis of the Western Territory after guarding Li Jun, not only pardoned all the slaves under him, but also made him serve as the deputy general of the patrol battalion and promoted to the head of public security in the Western District, of course, there is no lack of Li Jun's begging effect, but in any case, now Ye Gucheng's power has changed greatly, and his subordinates have risen to 500, responsible for the security management of civilians in the entire Western District.
Such a large increase, it can be said that one stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the major wine shops once again pointed the topic at Ye Gucheng, who was still a slave not long ago, these can almost vomit blood from high self-loyalty, if it weren't for his father's warning not to move Ye Gucheng temporarily, he really wanted to destroy the other party directly.
However, Gao Zizhong's refusal to do it does not mean that others do not do it.
Ye Gucheng had just finished participating in the banquet set by Li Jun, and he was walking on the street drunk and hazy, but he didn't pay attention to it, and in the distance, there were four figures approaching quietly.
