Early in the morning of the third day after the end of the martial arts competition, Liu Yi quietly instructed his two entourages, Liu Ben and Liu Quan, to stay in his temporary place outside the palace, and wait for the military department or the palace to come to report the news, and if anyone came to report it, he should be notified immediately.

Liu Yi's registered address when he signed up was an inn not far from the house, and he used it as his contact place, and if nothing happened, the person sent by the palace or the military department to inform him should go to that place to deliver the message.

When a letter came, Liu Yi also had to go to receive the order or enter the palace to see him, and he must not go on a business trip, so he also strictly ordered two entourages to wait in the inn in turn, and as soon as there was news, they would report to him immediately.

It's just that Liu Yi just sent Liu Ben and Liu Quan out, and when he wanted to go to his mother's room, something unexpected happened.

With the sound of horses' hooves, two horses quickly ran over from outside the mansion and came straight to the gate of Liu's mansion.

The sergeants guarding outside the mansion had not yet come, so no one stopped the two horsemen from coming to the gate of Liu's mansion, but before the people in the mansion could see who was coming, the two horsemen and their horses and people fell at the gate of the mansion.

The two horses were foaming at the mouth and looked like they had collapsed, and the two riders were also exhausted and fell to the ground for a long time and could not get up, but the servants of the house went up to help them up.

Liu Nian, the housekeeper who had already recognized who it was, immediately ordered the other servants to help the two into the house, and asked the two fallen horses to be dragged away.

Liu Yi, who heard the movement, also rushed out quickly, and saw that the two people who were helped into the house by the servants looked haggard, and they felt a little insincere, and they couldn't recognize who they were.

"Third Young Master! Big things are wrong! The man in front struggled to break free from the person he was holding on, and knelt in front of Liu Yi, "Master, he... He died of illness in Qinghai..."

As soon as he said this, he began to weep aloud.

Liu Yi only felt a "boom" in his head when he heard it, strode forward, and asked sharply, "What did you say?" ”

When he got closer to Liu Yi, he saw that this ragged and haggard man with a somewhat deformed face had followed his uncle and two elder brothers to Qinghai, and was named Liu Zhong's domestic servant.

"Third young master, master, after he was captured by the Tubo people, he fell ill due to injuries and died of serious illness, already..."The unrecognizable person behind Liu Zhong also cried and said.

"Sir, he's really dead?" Liu Yi was finally convinced that he had heard it right, and the report of the servant who came back was indeed the news that his father had died.

Liu Yi only felt that his head was a little blank for a moment, his uncle and two elder brothers ran thousands of miles to Qinghai to redeem his father, but he didn't expect to bring back the news that his father had died of illness, which was too big a blow, and his mother didn't know what to do when she heard the news.

"Go to the backyard quickly, don't let Mrs. know first," Liu Yizheng wanted to take the two people aside, not letting his mother know, how did he know that his mother Zhang, who heard the movement, had already run out quickly, and asked repeatedly: "Master has news back?" ”

Liu Zhong and the other person looked at Liu Yi, a little at a loss, but when they heard Zhang's continuous questioning, they had to say: "Madam, we followed the second master and the two young masters to Qinghai, and we were thinking of ransom the master in the Tubo camp, but how did we know that the old man had died of his injuries when he got the news..."

Liu Zhong knelt on the ground as he spoke, crying loudly.

"Ahh

"Mother, what's wrong with you!" Liu Yi hugged his mother and shouted eagerly.

Seeing that his mother did not respond, Liu Yi picked up his mother's whole body and quickly went to the house, and several girls behind him looked panicked and followed into the house.

At this time, Liu Nian, the housekeeper who had returned to his senses, took two family members from the house who ran back to report the news after Liu Yi carried Zhang into the house, and inquired about the situation in detail.

"Mother..."Liu Yi put his mother on the couch, pinched his mother's middle in one hand, and shouted, after a while, Zhang opened his eyes, looked at Liu Yi in front of him with distraction, his eyes were very empty, as if he was ignoring everything, but there were big tears rolling in the corners of his eyes.

Liu Yi held his mother's hand, tears were rolling in his eyes, he didn't expect that his worries some time ago had really come true, his father really had no chance to come back, at this moment, he didn't know how to comfort his mother.

The maids on the side were also sobbing in low voices, and one of the maids stepped forward to wipe the tears from the corners of Zhang's eyes. After losing his mind for a while, Zhang sat up suddenly, unexpectedly resolute to Liu Yi, "San Lang, you go and ask, what the hell is going on, you go..."

"Yes, mother!" Liu Yi wiped away his tears, told the maids to take care of their mothers, and walked out of the house quickly, asked where the two servants who came back to report the rest of the house, and strode over.

After tidying up a little, the two domestic servants who were drinking soup were talking about Qinghai to the housekeeper Liu Nian, and when they saw Liu Yi coming in, they all hurriedly stood up.

"Tell me what the hell is going on!" Liu Yi had stabilized his emotions and said to a few people in the room in a calm voice.

The two servants who came back to report the news glanced at each other, and Liu Zhong spoke first, "The third young master, the second master and the two young masters took us to Shanzhou first, and after arriving in Shanzhou, with the help of the general of the original master, the black tooth Changzhi, we arrived outside the camp of the Tubo people..."

It turned out that after Liu Yanjing, Liu Mai and Liu Yuan arrived in Shanzhou, Lou Shide, as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, had reached an armistice agreement through negotiations with the Tubo people, I don't know what Lou Shide said, the Tubo people retreated to the vicinity of Qinghai, where they had stayed, Liu Yanjing and others escorted Liu Yanjing and others to the camp of the Tubo people through the repatriation of some prisoners agreed by both parties, and prepared to redeem Liu Xianli. Who knew that after they arrived at the Tubo camp, they got the news that Liu Xianli had died of illness five days earlier.

"The master was seriously injured and captured, and eventually his injuries worsened and he died!" In addition, Liu Xianli's personal guard, who called Liu Ning, took over the words and cried and said, "After the master was captured, the Tubo people sent people to persuade him to surrender every day, and the master reprimanded him every time, and refused to allow the Tubo people to treat him, and finally..."

"The second master and the two young masters knelt outside the Tubo camp and cried, the Tubo people were grateful for the loyalty of the master, as well as the loyalty of the second master and the two young masters, and sent someone to collect the body of the master and hand it over to the second master..." ”

Tears rolled out of Liu Yi's eyes again, but he immediately wiped them off, and at the same time ordered the three servants in front of him, "Stop crying for me, the old man refused to surrender after being captured, this is an act of loyalty and righteousness, and it is something that our Liu family is proud of, how can I cry again..."

Hearing Liu Yi drink like this, the housekeeper Liu Nian, Liu Zhong, and Liu Ning immediately stopped crying, and looked at the third young master in front of him who usually likes to be mischievous, and didn't know what the third young master wanted them to do next...;
