Chapter 67

"Sister!" Zhao Ling, who had been wandering outside Zhao Yi's tent for a long time, finally made up his mind and opened the curtain to enter.

"Is it Ling'er?" Zhao Yi's clear voice sounded. In Zhao Yi's mind, whether it is Zhao Ming, who is the king of a country, or Zhao Ling, who is the commander of the first army, they are all the gentlemen in her mouth, Ling'er. And all along, Zhao Yi has also played the image of a mother in the hearts of these two younger brothers.

"Is there anything wrong? Looking at your sad appearance, do you want your sister to help you come up with an idea!" Zhao Yi saw his younger brother's sad appearance, and explained with a smile.

"Sister, I'm going back to Tianlong!"

"Dangchang"

A porcelain cup in Zhao Yi's hand that had rained and sunny, shattered on the ground.

Zhao Yi slowly moved his gaze to the fragments on the ground, and Zhao Ling on the other side also looked dumbfounded, staring at the broken porcelain cup on the ground. The whole camp was suddenly enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. At this moment, Zhao Ling could clearly feel the shock and discomfort in his sister's heart.

In fact, Zhao Yi has always avoided this question in her heart. Bing Xue was smart, and every time she saw Zhao Ling's expression of wanting to speak, she knew that her younger brother hoped that she could return to Tianlong with him. And she also knew that she really loved Xiao Jian very much before, and even thought of death because of his refusal.

But just when she was feeling hopeless about life and love, a young man full of vitality broke into her life and helped her rekindle the fire of life. Although he does not have the talent of Xiao Jian, he has not established countless feats like Xiao Jian. However, by his side, he can be comforted and taken care of in every detail. Every time I see the unique vigor on his face, I feel that my whole life is illuminated by him. He gave himself a home, a home full of warm love.

In the past six months, there has not been a moment when I haven't missed Bai Yunqi. Every time she looked in the mirror and found that she was thinner again, she could "see" Bai Yunqi's resentful and slightly reproachful gaze from the mirror. At that moment, happiness seemed so close to oneself.

Now, this problem that I have been avoiding has finally inevitably appeared in front of me, what should I do?

"Oh, yes. ”

After a long time, Zhao Yi spoke, and his tone seemed very calm. He leaned over to pick up the pieces on the ground and placed them in the cups and plates on the table, but her slightly trembling hand clearly showed the excitement and uneasiness in her heart at the moment.

"Sister!"

Zhao Ling pounced suddenly, just like when he was a child, and suddenly threw himself into his sister's familiar embrace.

It's still the familiar smell that can't be more familiar, it's a smell that is engraved into the bone marrow and will never be forgotten for the rest of your life, and it's the smell that belongs to your mother in the depths of your childhood memories.

"Let's go back together, okay?" Zhao Ling, who raised his head in Zhao Yi's arms, was already in tears at this moment.

Hearing his brother's crying call, tears slipped down unconsciously.

With two younger brothers on one side and his beloved husband on the other, how do you choose?

Zhao Yi's slightly trembling hand gently stroked Zhao Ling's hair, and then gently fell on his face, gently wiping away his tears. Zhao Ling stared blankly at the crystal tears that slid across his sister's cheeks.

From childhood to adulthood, my sister has been the support of the two brothers. Strong, optimistic, and beautiful have always been the images that Zhao Yi left in the minds of his two younger brothers. Since Zhao Ling could remember, he had never seen his sister cry, even the time when his father returned to heaven. But today, my sister, who has always been strong, actually cried.

At the moment when Zhao Ling was stunned, Zhao Yi suddenly smiled, so beautiful and bright. But in Zhao Yi's eyes, Zhao Ling clearly saw pain and desolation. An unforgettable pain, a desolation.

"Okay, sister will go back with you, back to Tianlong!"

"No, sister, I was wrong!" Zhao Ling suddenly broke free from Zhao Yi's arms.

"Sister, I was wrong. Sister can't go back to Tianlong with me!" Zhao Ling's eyes at this time had an inexplicable resoluteness.

Zhao Yi smiled, this time he really smiled. From Zhao Ling's eyes, she saw the love and understanding of a younger brother's sister. Ling'er has finally grown up, and he knows how to understand and care for others. No longer a little boy who likes to drown in his arms.

"Sister, my brother and I have grown up, we can't rely on my sister anymore, my sister should be happy!" Zhao Ling also smiled at this moment, smiling like a big boy, innocent.

"Ling'er!"

"Sister!"

The siblings hugged each other again, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Seeing that Ling'er has grown up, I believe that Jun'er, who is already the king of a country, should be more mature, and he can feel at ease.

I must tell my brother when I go back, I have found my sister, and my sister is still as beautiful and gentle as before. My sister is living happily now, and I can't go and destroy my sister's happiness. Brother, I think you will definitely support my decision, because my sister's happiness is also our happiness.

A month later, Zhao Yishun returned to Luopingyuan, met Bai Yunqi, and told him that he had found his two long-lost brothers. When Bai Yunqi asked his wife why she didn't bring it for her to see, his wife just smiled playfully and drowned in his arms and stopped talking.

Fengxiang, Port of Antwerp.

After handling all the affairs in Fengcheng, Li Yuxuan and the others bid farewell to Fengxiang and the ministers and left Fengcheng, the capital of Fengxiang, and rushed to the largest port of the Fengxiang Kingdom, the port of Antwerp.

While enjoying the unique pastoral scenery of Fengxiang, Li Yuxuan also made a very detailed observation and analysis of the topography of Fengxiang to prepare for possible military operations in the future. Now Li Yuxuan is the marquis of the kingdom and the commander of the Fifth Corps, so he no longer has to hide like before. This time I rushed from Fengcheng to the port of Antwerp, although I was also in a hurry, but everyone's mood was completely different from the last time I went to Fengcheng.

Now that he has accomplished his goal, Li Yuxuan doesn't want to restrain those guards too much, after all, they are all young people around twenty years old, and their playful and playful temperament can't be changed.

Finally, after a four-day trip, Li Yuxuan and his party of 14 arrived at the port of Antwerp.

Before entering the city, Li Yuxuan warned everyone not to reveal their identities, and then entered the port of Antwerp through the west gate of the city.

The Port of Antwerp is located at the tip of the southern part of the continent and is an important transit point for shipping throughout the south, so trade is very prosperous. Merchants in the city have formed a business alliance and a maritime alliance spontaneously formed by merchants, and merchants in need of ships can go to the alliance office, from where they can get the latest merchant ship schedules. You can find the shipowner according to the list and negotiate the freight rate of the cargo. Due to the good reputation of the Alliance, most businesses do not follow the ship, but hand over the goods to the designated shipowner, who will transport them to the city designated by the customer, and the goods can be received by friends or relatives of the shipper.

Perhaps due to Fengxiang's unique unplanned urban style, or perhaps due to the special geographical location of the Port of Antwerp, the planning of the whole city seems to be chaotic. The streets are not as bright and spacious as in the average big city, and the traffic is not orderly. Many out-of-town merchants with strange appearances and fancy clothes can be seen everywhere on the streets. Of course, the city is still quite large, about twice the size of Bahrain.

But there is one thing that is incomprehensible, there is not a single soldier of Feng Xiang in the whole city, and there is no sentinel responsible for checking the people entering and leaving the city at the city gate. It was not until later that it was learned that in order to promote the economic and commercial development of the Port of Antwerp, Fengxiang specially ordered the city to be the only undefended city in the kingdom, which is one of the reasons why the layout of the Port of Antwerp is so chaotic. Moreover, the city is full of thieves, criminals, and pirates, and it has become a paradise for criminals. But not defending does not mean giving up on defense. In a small town fifteen miles away from the city were two thousand Fengxiang soldiers. Once the port of Antwerp was invaded, it was up to them to defend it.

Li Yuxuan and his entourage entered the city around noon, but because of a rain in the port of Antwerp in the morning, the entire road was covered with a lot of water and the road was narrow. In desperation, Li Yuxuan and others had no choice but to dismount and walk. Otherwise, the mud splashed by the horse's hooves will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people around them.

Everyone followed Li Yuxuan, turned a few corners, and entered the most lively area of Antwerp Port, where there were many taverns and teahouses, and brothels were also open all over the street.

In fact, it is not that everyone has not entered the flower street and willow lane. When they were in Fengcheng, the Li brothers often entertained Fengxiang's officials in the "Fengyue Baojian", and the guards also went with them. But "Fengyue Baojian" is not comparable to ordinary brothels, the girls in it are all beautiful and refined, with extraordinary temperament, most of them are oriental silk long skirts and brocade shirts, where will they be as vulgar and unsightly as they are in front of them.

"Brother, why are you going here?" Li Yuyang finally couldn't help it, and asked Li Yuxuan, who was walking in the front.

Li Yuxuan was obviously not in a good mood and scolded his younger brother.

In fact, for this kind of place, Li Yuxuan is also quite cold. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to make friends with those powerful people in Fengcheng, even the "Fengyue Treasure Book" would not have taken a step forward, let alone this kind of place.

Hearing Li Yuxuan's scolding, Li Yuyang quickly lowered his head, stopped speaking, and silently followed behind his brother. The others were scolded when they saw Li Yuyang, and they didn't dare to complain. All of them are like frosted eggplants, listless.

Suddenly, a brothel on the street rang out with an earth-shattering sound of scolding. A thin, shabby figure ran out of the brothel, followed by a middle-aged woman with a grease-smeared face like a monkey's ass. Behind her, there were two big men.

"Dare to run, the little girl is capable, catch me back!" The sharp voice like a broken gong made the pedestrians on both sides of the road cover their ears and hurry away.

The two big men were also neat, three steps and two steps, and at once they grabbed the thin child who ran to the center of the street. The two of them lifted her to the woman like chickens.

The old woman raised her hand and slapped her sturdy two slaps, and reprimanded: "The old lady raised you so big, and asked you to earn a few dollars for the old lady, you dare to run!

The girl was already trembling with fright at the moment, like a dead leaf in the winter wind.

"Please, Qingqing is only fourteen years old, I, I ......"

When the girl saw the whip that the old woman took out from behind her, her face turned blue, and her tongue did not obey her, and it was obvious that she had been whipped more than once.

"Fourteen years old! The old lady has raised you for ten years, and you still want the old lady to raise you until death!" The old woman's ferocious appearance was almost like she was going to eat people. When passers-by on both sides saw this scene, they all shook their heads and sighed, but who cares about this kind of thing. Even if you really want to manage it, how much can you manage.

"Stop!"

Li Yuyang finally couldn't help but rush forward and snatched the whip from the old woman's hand. As soon as the two big men saw that someone was finding fault, they let go of the girl in their hands and pounced.

When everyone saw this scene, they all thought that this young man would inevitably be beaten by two big men, and they all felt sorry for him. But to everyone's surprise, before the people on the side of the road could see what was going on, the two big men were already lying in the middle of the street and shouting, obviously suffering a secret loss in the hands of Li Yuyang, and cheers and applause suddenly sounded all around.

"Don't be nosy!" Li Yuxuan in front didn't look back, just said lightly.

"Please, help me!"

The girl "plopped" and knelt on the mud-covered ground, kowtowing incessantly.

Although the girl's body was tattered and her face was covered with mud, a pair of eyes full of tears made Li Yuyang feel compassion.

"Let's go!" Li Yuxuan had already turned around at this moment, glaring at his younger brother with a stern expression. Li Yuxuan didn't want to stay in such a mixed place for a moment, and he didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble because of this little girl.

In fact, the port of Antwerp is arguably the most chaotic place in the southern part of the entire continent. Because it is an undefended city, many forces have planted spies and eyeliners here, and many of them have considerable background and strength.

Therefore, in this city, you can find all kinds of people, all kinds of people, all kinds of people. And the special industry of brothels is inextricably linked with various forces. Li Yuxuan didn't want too many people to know the route of this Fengxiang trip, for safety. On that day, Li Yuxuan chose the port of Antwerp as the meeting place, which was precisely because of the city's characteristics. In case his own assassination of Feng Shaojun failed, it would be relatively safe to leave Fengxiang from the port of Antwerp. Now that everyone has arrived in the port of Antwerp, it is natural that more is better than less. In case it attracts the attention of others because of this incident, it ends up in the ears of hostile forces. It is not so easy for the group to leave the port of Antwerp easily.

Li Yuyang, who usually does what his brother says, seems to be a little abnormal today, and still insists under the pressure of his brother: "Brother!"

"Let's go!" Li Yuxuan interrupted Li Yuyang's words slightly rudely, and turned to leave. When the guards saw this, they immediately followed.

"Brother, I beg you! I haven't begged you since I was a child!"

Li Yuxuan didn't look back, but his shoulders trembled slightly.

Yes, since he was a child, this younger brother has indeed never begged himself once. Like himself, he is a man who does not ask for help, and he will get everything by his own efforts.

Li Yuxuan raised his right hand and waved it at the guard behind him, and continued to move forward.

"Thank you, brother!"

Li Yuyang hurriedly reached out and took out more than ten gold coins from his clothes and threw them to the ground. When the old woman saw it, she immediately picked it up, and suddenly changed a disgusting smile on her face and said, "The guest officer is really generous, and he will come often in the future!"

Li Yuyang glared at her in disgust, pulled up the girl who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "This money is enough to buy her person!"

"Enough, enough!" the old woman nodded again and again, and shouted at Li Yuyang, "The young master really pities the jade!"

"Come with me!" Li Yuyang was not in a good mood at the moment, and even he couldn't figure it out. "Quarreled" with her brother for a little girl, but this was the first time she didn't follow Li Yuxuan's words.

The girl didn't hear back, Li Yuyang led the horse in front, and she followed behind without saying a word.
