Chapter 248: Bitter Mandarin Duck
In Angelica's memory, his father has always been so tall.
As a child she often sat on his shoulders, and he would sometimes lift her high.
But now, the father in front of her is skinny, and he who has been tortured by illness for three years is no longer the general he was back then.
His temples were frosty white, and there was not a trace of blood on his face, and he lay motionless.
The whole person presents a heavy dead air.
Angelica slowly knelt down and slowly touched Tang Pei's hand.
In the past, his palms were wide and warm, and there were thick calluses left by years of martial arts practice in his palms.
At this time, his hands were very cold, and there was no temperature at all.
Angelica opened his mouth and wanted to call his father, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and they fell down with a click.
Lu Luoguang walked to her side.
Dingding looked at her familiar face, and it took him a long time before he dared to be sure that she was Tang Guixi.
Lu Yaoguang asked, "Where have you been in the past three years?" Why is there no news at all? ”
Angelica raised his head, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of sadness and anger.
"How did my dad die?"
There is nothing to hide now, Lu Luoguang said truthfully.
"It was Du Tao who poisoned him."
Angelica had anticipated this answer.
She wasn't surprised at all, there was only a burning hatred in her eyes.
She will definitely kill Du Tao!
King Min couldn't help but urge again.
"Let's get out of here, and we'll talk slowly when we get out."
Angelica wiped away her tears and swallowed more.
"I beg you to go out with my father."
Yu Yuan asked, "What about you?" ”
Angelica helped his father brush the broken hair on his sideburns behind his ears, his voice was still crying, but his tone was extremely firm.
"I still acted according to the plan, first mixed into the camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and then revealed my identity to gather the hearts of the soldiers."
Yu Yuanyu: "Let's go with you." ”
Angelica shook his head: "No need, you have been with me for three years, thank you for your care for these three years, let me face the next journey." ”
Lu Luoguang couldn't help but persuade.
"You're just a girl, why get involved in all those things that fight and kill?
You'd better come with us, and don't worry about the Crusade anymore.
Don't worry, even if your father is gone, the marriage contract between you and my family will still count.
In the future, you will stay at home with peace of mind and teach your husband and children, and live your life in peace. ”
Angelica's eyes were still moist, but his expression had become resolute.
She said calmly.
"My father has never taken a step back in his life,
How can I, as his daughter, flinch from the battle? ”
Lu Luoguang still couldn't understand: "But you are a girl after all, and you can't make meritorious contributions, even if you keep the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the imperial court will not recognize your existence." ”
"Although I am a woman, my father has never restrained me in this way.
He gave me the freedom to come and go as much as a man would.
I can't live up to his hard work.
If you keep the Eastern Expeditionary Army, you can keep the peace of Liaodong County.
This is my father's last wish and my goal.
I don't care what the court thinks of me, I just want my father to rest in peace under the Nine Springs. ”
Lu Luoguang looked at her in a daze.
At this moment, he seemed to see Tang Pei's shadow on her face.
The personalities of this father and daughter are really strikingly similar, they are all so stubborn, as long as they make a decision, the nine cows can't pull it back.
Lu Yaoguang: "You have to think about it, it's very likely that you won't be able to come back after you go." ”
Angelica: "Since I have decided to go, I am ready for the horse leather shroud." ”
She carries the expectations of her father and countless others.
In this battle, she can only move forward, not retreat.
Lu Luoguang let out a long sigh and said no more.
Yu Yuanyuan was still very worried about Angelica's safety, but she also knew that even if she followed Angelica into the barracks, there were only a few places she could help with.
She might as well stay outside and find a way to drag Du Tao and buy more time for Angelica.
"Well, I respect your decision."
Luo Pingsha carried Tang Pei's body on his back.
Angelica took one last look at his father.
"Dad, look at it from heaven, I won't let you down!
What you want to protect, I'll continue to protect for you. ”
She retracted her gaze and turned away.
Yu Xuan said to her back: "You must protect yourself, we are waiting for you outside!" ”
"Hmm!"
After leaving this word, Angelica took a stride in the opposite direction of the others.
There is obviously only one person, but he has walked out of the momentum of thousands of troops.
With his unforgettable memory, Yu Yuanyu remembers the route of the future tense clearly.
She was in charge of showing the way and led everyone back the way they came.
Soon they found an exit.
King Min couldn't wait to open the door and be the first to get out of the secret passage.
The others followed suit.
As soon as they stood firm, they saw the door being pushed open from the outside.
Du Tao stood at the door and looked at them with a smile.
"You're here, so I'm waiting."
King Min hurriedly stepped back and said in horror, "Why are you here?" ”
Du Tao asked rhetorically: "I'm not here, where else can I be?" ”
He looked at Yu Xuanxuan and Luo Pingsha, and sneered.
"You deliberately let people shout outside the courtyard gate to attract my attention, and then sneak into the secret passage while they are in chaos, what a calculation! I almost fell for you. ”
Xiao Ti stepped forward and blocked Du Tao's gaze at Yu Yuan.
Seeing this, Du Tao sneered again.
"His Royal Highness the King of the County protects her so much, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of the County has a lot to do with this little beauty,.
In this case, I will let you die together, so that you can continue to be a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks in the next life. ”
Yu Yuan poked his head out from behind Xiao Ti and retorted.
"Until the last moment, I don't know who will kill the deer."
"It's hard to die when you're dying!" Du Tao clapped his hands.
Immediately, a group of personal soldiers rushed into the house, and they held knives and surrounded Yu Yuanxuan, Xiao Ti and others.
Du Tao: "Bring people over." ”
The two pro-soldiers escorted Shen Xu to the door.
As soon as he saw Shen Xu, King Min was immediately excited.
"Let go of my son!"
Du Tao smiled and said: "It turns out that this is the prince of King Min's mansion, it is really disrespectful." ”
He took out the saber at his waist, put the blade between Shen Xu's neck, and said triumphantly.
"You all will be arrested obediently for me, if anyone dares to move, I will let the blood of this noble prince be spattered on the spot."
King Min panicked: "Don't kill my son, you can do whatever you want me to do." ”
Du Tao stared at Xiao Ti and asked suspiciously.
"What does His Royal Highness the King of the County think?"
Xiao Ti said calmly: "In the past, there were also people who threatened this king with Shen Xu's life, guess what the result is?" ”
Du Tao did not answer.
Yu Yuanxuan took the initiative to answer the stalk: "Now that person is enjoying the rest of his life in prison." ”
