Chapter 65: Meet the Night King
Lin Yue sat in the carriage and lifted the window to look at the scene of the people rejoicing and bursting into tears.
"This is the road going straight, aunt, I understand."
At this moment, she herself burst into tears with excitement, and the experience of escaping from the famine along the way made her feel deeply, and finally understood what the righteousness of the family and country was.
Gu Lin looked at his niece's back and muttered, "Yue'er, people can be out of moderation but they can't be without righteousness." ”
Lin Yue turned her head to wipe away her tears, and smiled brightly and movingly, "Auntie, I remember." ”
Gu Lin looked at her and smiled with relief and happiness.
"Don't cry, let people see and think we're bullying you."
Wang wiped away her tears and teased with a smile.
"I, I am...... Excited, I can see why they are so happy. ”
This time I really got it.
She was not afraid on the road, she was really selfish at that time, she was really not afraid in her heart, with Uncle Li, he has always been the god of war in the hearts of the people, a shield, and a hope.
I didn't realize that I thought the same way before, and she was not afraid of escaping from the famine.
She knew that Uncle Li's character and the Gu family's character would never leave her, so she dared to be so unscrupulous.
Lin Yue was excited and speechless, and her expression was fragmented, but Wang understood.
"It's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay."
Wang raised his head and took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, as if throwing away all the resentment and pain, regaining his spirits and restarting his life to meet a better life.
The fact that the Li family did not bring weapons this time also shows their attitude, We will never hurt any innocent people, and we have no threat.
They arrived at the gate of Linqi City in the afternoon.
At the gate of the city stood a procession of men, in the front of which were several people dressed in fine clothes, namely the Night King and his eldest son, and behind them stood the royal family.
Boss Li dismounted before he could get ahead, and Li Jiaerlang immediately dismounted after him, standing in place, and the team kept a large distance from the Night King as a sign of respect.
"The last general will see His Royal Highness the Night King, I have seen the princess, and I have seen the eldest prince."
"The kid has seen His Royal Highness the Night King, the princess, and the eldest prince."
Li Rui, Gu Lei and others also stepped forward to salute.
Old Man Gu and Old Man Li, as well as Aunt Gu of the Wang Clan, Gu Lin's Clan, and Aunt Gu led Li Yu and others to come forward to salute.
"Everyone, please get up quickly, this is home, you have suffered all the way, what about the others, Gu Dalang."
The Night King looked left and right, and the number of people was wrong.
Gu Lin covered his face and bowed his head again, "Your Highness, my eldest brother and third brother have died at the gate of the city......"
Boss Li turned his head away, his face was sad, "My second brother and his wife are also gone."
"What?"
"Oh my God!"
Although the Night King and his wife were prepared, their eyes widened in shock when they heard and saw this group of old and weak dusty looks.
"Is this the fate of the loyal and good generals?"
The eldest prince of the Night King couldn't help but blurt out.
"Shut up."
The Night King turned his head and scolded his son.
The eldest prince blushed angrily, and looked resentful and aggrieved.
The Night King shook his head, "It's my fault that I provoked your sadness, quick, please inside, this time, we can have a good drink, we made an appointment to have a good drink together that year." ”
"yes, we were young."
Boss Li also smiled.
The Night King and Boss Li were side by side, and Boss Li took a step behind the Night King and stood one step behind him, maintaining a front and rear posture.
"You have suffered along the way, and you have not seen soldiers to protect the old and weak."
Boss Li's face was gloomy, "My Li family has always been loyal, and will never betray the country, let alone rebel, the military power has long been withdrawn, I am not qualified to use soldiers, I just want the old and weak family to have a place to live." ”
A look of discouragement.
The Night King opened his mouth slightly, but the princess touched his arm with her hand and shook her head at him slightly, meaning not to be in a hurry.
The Night King sighed, "I don't know what to say, capital...... Are you alright? ”
He finally asked the truth that he had never dared to ask.
"It's not good, the loyal ministers are about to be killed, our two families escaped with martial arts, and they also lost their soldiers, my brother died, and my nephew was gone, and the corpses of the prime minister and my brother were hung on the city gate for public display......"
"What?"
The Night King clenched his fists angrily, his face was pale, and he was trembling and unable to speak.
"This evil beast...... Yes! ”
The Night King gasped, he didn't expect it to be such a truth, and the news they sent back was incomplete.
"The blood in the capital is like a river, have you seen that girl, the whole family was wiped out, she escaped the catastrophe when she was a guest at the Gu family, Da Lang's daughter-in-law is her aunt, the prime minister's family is all ......, and Da Lang and the third child are gone......"
Boss Li was trembling all over his body when he spoke, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
"This brute, how did my imperial brother die?"
The Night King covered his face and broke down crying, unable to escape reality anymore, unable to find an excuse to comfort himself anymore.
The truth was bloody in front of him, and he had to face it.
"Those who have been poisoned for a long time, we are all isolated, and before we can take a breath, we will kill loyal ministers, and the princes of the first emperor are all dead."
When the Night King heard this, his whole body shook as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes were dark.
"Your Highness, take care."
Boss Li quickly supported the Night King.
The Night King was already in tears, "Brother Emperor, you are so confused......"
He lost control of his emotions and broke down and cried.
The night princess also shed tears, and the first emperor treated them very favorably.
"Dad, you mourn, what should we do in the future, there are homeless people everywhere, and there are people who have rebelled, where will we go in the future?"
The eldest prince also lowered his head and was worried.
They can't play dumb forever, and it's hard to protect themselves now.
"Go back first, let me think about it again, Brother Li, you have been traveling all the way, go back first and have a good rest, and then I will send someone to call you to discuss the plan."
"Okay."
"You go back first, let the imperial doctor follow you to the Wang family to see the old man and his dependents, and take care of them."
The Night King looked at the boss of the Wang family and explained.
Wang E nodded, "Yes." ”
"Then I'll say goodbye first, don't worry when you get home, just let people come to me if you have any trouble."
The Night King gestured to the old man with a bow.
"Greetings to Your Highness."
The crowd saluted again.
The Night King left with his entourage, and this time he personally went out of the city to greet him, which also showed his attitude, he welcomed and valued the Li family and the Gu family, and hoped that other families would not embarrass them.
"The eldest uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle."
Li Yu's brother and sister stepped forward to say hello.
"Uncle...... I'm tired of worrying about you. ”
Boss Li made a big move.
"Don't be polite to your own family, let's go, you have suffered along the way."
Wang Jaw took his brother-in-law's hand and patted it, and said a serious word of comfort.
"It's Brother Xu."
"Brother Xu, call me uncle."
Li Yu taught his younger brother.
"The eldest uncle is good, the second uncle is good, and the third uncle is good."
Brother Xu saluted.
Wang Ge keenly noticed that the child was not quite right, and looked at his brother-in-law for answers.
Boss Li leaned sideways and whispered in his ear, "When I escaped from the city, I saw my parents die tragically in front of me, and after a night of high fever, it became like this, which is already much better, and I didn't say anything before I was dumbfounded." ”
After saying that, he shook his head sadly.
Wang Ge took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, lovingly held the child in his arms, and showed him a loving smile, "Go to your uncle's house and read and play with your brothers, okay?" ”
