Li Yi was forced into a corner. Under Sun Zhiyang's figure, his heart was beating like a deer. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Sun Zhiyang was acting weird towards her.
In fact, she also understood that there was no free lunch in this world. No one would be so kind as to help her for no reason. Sun Zhiyang wouldn't either. He must have some ulterior motive. However, she still had not figured out what she was after. No matter what it was, she had no choice. Even if she had to drink poison to quench her thirst, she could only drink this poisonous wine without hesitation. Now that the Li family was in a crisis, no one could help her except Sun Zhiyang. She needed help. She needed someone to stand by her side to keep the Li family safe.
The oil lamp on the small cabinet began to shake as Sun Zhiyang moved. The two figures merged into one on the wall of the carriage.
His breath landed on her cheek, which she avoided. It was hot and close at hand.
"Brother Zhiyang, you really know how to joke. You are my savior, Li Yi. Naturally, Li Yi wants to be closer to Brother Zhiyang. However, Li Yi had never sat in such a carriage since he was young, so he was not used to it. It's better to go out and ride a horse."
Sun Zhiyang suppressed his desire to kiss her. She was right in front of him. Her delicate skin and red lips made him unable to move his burning eyes away.
He pursed his lips tightly and did not approach her. It was not the time yet. It was not the time for her to be unable to leave him. It was not the time for her to know the benefits of having him. She would know that it was difficult for a woman to achieve great things and protect a family. She would understand that he was the man she could rely on. Only he, and only he, had the ability to let her live a carefree life.
"Didn't you not sleep well last night? Lie down and sleep! I'm not sleeping. There are still many things I need to see.”
Sun Zhiyang moved his body away and sat down again, as calm as if nothing had happened. His expressionless face was covered with a cold frost.
The confidential documents he took out from the drawer were the official business that he had to deal with every day. He placed the oil lamp on the table, opened a secret report, and read it carefully. From time to time, he would use a pen to circle on it, as if he was dealing with official documents.
Li Yi sat up straight curiously. She did not know much about Sun Zhiyang. Other than knowing his name and that he was the disciple of the Wine God, she knew nothing about him. However, a woman's intuition told her that this person was not simple. He would give her ideas to report the disaster relief, he would know the situation at the border, and he would analyze the unfavorable future of Pingjin. He was not an ordinary person, but what was his identity? If he was not an official of the imperial court or a wealthy merchant, then what was his other identity?
"Don't peek. You promised me that you wouldn't pry into my affairs.”Sun Zhiyang said unhappily.
Li Yi retracted his neck and asked,"Did you not sleep at all?"”The novel network didn't jump.
"Yes, go to sleep!"
Li Yi stretched lazily. He did not sleep well yesterday, so he was really sleepy and tired. Although he was in his carriage, his subordinates were outside. There were Nighthawk, Ouyang Bo, and four of his personal guards. He only brought two followers with him. What could he do to her?
She lay down and covered herself with a thin blanket. She looked at Sun Zhiyang, who was focused, and unknowingly fell asleep.
Along the way, Li Yi had a good sleep. Just as he was a little awake, he heard Nighthawk shout at the top of his voice,"Open the city gates! Bastard, even the Prefecture Overseer didn't open the city gates. Do you want to die?"
The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other, hesitating. A thousand-man beside Hu He heard the shout and ran up, stretching his neck to look down the city wall. Seeing Nighthawk, he was sure that the Prefecture Overseer had returned, and he was secretly delighted. The whole of Ping Jin was in a foul mood today. He had already guessed that Hu He had the intention to rebel. The others were of the same mind as Hu He because their entire family was in Pingjin City. The imperial court had not issued a decree to lift the ban. For the sake of their family, they had no choice. However, he was different. His parents, wife, and children were all near the capital. If Ping Jin really rebelled, he would have no choice but to rebel with him in order to save his life. However, his parents, wife, and children would definitely be implicated by him. They would be skinned alive and die a miserable death!
Now that the Prefecture Overseer had rushed back in time and was right below the city, he must have received the decree to lift the ban. As long as this decree came and gave everyone a way out, how many people would really dare to rebel?
Thinking of this, the thousand-man did not dare to be negligent. He ran down the city tower and kicked the guard. "What are you standing there for? Open the door! Still not opening the door? It's the Prefecture Overseer, hurry! Hurry!"
The soldiers guarding the gate received the order and hurriedly moved to the bar. They pulled the gate and made a long, heavy creak.
Sun Zhiyang lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the soldiers 'every move. Although he couldn't see their expressions clearly, he knew that something must have happened in the city after hearing that the Prefecture Overseer had returned and had taken so long to open the city gate.
"There are changes in the city. No matter what happens, you have to listen to my arrangements.”
Li Yi stood up. When he heard Sun Zhiyang's words, he quickly came to his side and looked out.
A soldier dressed like a thousand-household soldier rushed out with a few small soldiers. When he reached the thousand-household soldier, he was panting. "Subordinate Zhao Biao greets Lord Prefecture Overseer!”
Sun Zhiyang's attendant brought a low stool, and Li Yi walked out of the carriage.
"Why did you open so late?"
Zhao Biao said anxiously," Something happened in Daren City, so I didn't dare to open the door easily. I only dared to open the door to welcome you after I recognized you."”
Li Yi was shocked and asked,"What's wrong?"”
"They started fighting. Yes, that…"
Li Yi became even more anxious when he saw him stutter.
"Who's fighting who?"
Zhao Biao broke out in a cold sweat as he carefully replied,""It's the old matriarch of Milord's residence and Lord Hu fighting in the City Treasury.”
"What?" Li Yi was so shocked that he sucked in a breath of cold air. He went forward and pulled the reins of a soldier's horse.”
Sun Zhiyang, who was in the carriage, heard everything clearly. His face darkened as he ordered,""Li Yi, come in!"
Li Yi turned his head to look at the curtain,"Brother Zhiyang, I'll ride my horse into the city first. I'll let Nighthawk lead you back to your residence on my behalf!"”
"Li Yi, don't forget what you promised me. If you are unwilling to listen to me, then I will take my leave now!”
"Brother Zhiyang!"
"Come in!"
Li Yi stomped his foot in anger and helplessly returned to the carriage.
Sun Zhiyang pulled Li Yi over and said solemnly,"Do you know the situation in the city? If there was a trap, you would have been killed by an arrow if you had entered on a horse so recklessly.”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Sun Zhiyang's expression was uncertain. Zhongyi Hall had eyes and ears in the city. If Hu He had rebelled, he would definitely get the news. Since he didn't, that meant that Hu He hadn't shed all pretense of cordiality and could still use the imperial court to restrain him.
However, these were just his guesses. He had to be careful. He could not afford to gamble. If he was not careful, he would not lose an unimportant person. It would be Li Yi, the only woman who had entered his heart.
"If you enter the carriage, even if someone wants to plot against you, it won't be so easy.”
Li Yi nodded, and his heart felt like it was fried. He ordered,"Enter the city, to the City Treasury!"
When Nighthawk heard Zhao Biao's words, his entire face turned red, and his blood surged. He gritted his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds. After receiving Li Yi's order, he pulled the reins and shouted angrily,"Let's go!"
A pair of horses galloped into the city. Zhao Biao followed behind. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the person in the carriage had an extraordinary relationship with Li Yi. It seemed that Li Yi was really a man who liked men. He wondered if Ma Xuhai would go crazy from anger if he saw that Li Yi had brought back another gigolo.
The current Pingjin State was very different from when Li Yi left. All the streets were empty, and there was not a single pedestrian. The doors and windows of every house were tightly shut. The dust on the road was blown up by the cold wind from time to time, forming whirlpools and drifting away. The shop owner's cloth signboard fluttered wildly in the wind. Occasionally, there would be the sound of the wooden door being knocked.
The entire Ping Jin City was like a dead city. It was deathly silent and deathly oppressive. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere. A great battle was about to break out, and the merciless flames of war would take away countless lives.
The City Treasury was getting closer and closer, and the two teams of people standing at the door were dressed neatly.
On one side, Hu He was holding a Guan Gong broadsword with a big belly. He was riding a date red warhorse and stomping on the spot. The thousand soldiers behind him were all riding on horses, standing straight like pine trees. They looked ahead with a murderous aura.
On the other side, Matriarch Li got off her White Dragon Horse and panted. She wore soft armor and held the Green Dragon Halberd in front of her chest. Behind them were all female soldiers and generals. On the left and right were Li Xiang 'er and Fan Xing. Behind them were the maids and old women of the Li Residence. They were all wearing soft armor and holding weapons. These elderly women were all female generals who had followed Matriarch Li back then. Each of them had extraordinary skills and was good at killing enemies, riding, and shooting. Facing more than 1,000 regular soldiers in front of her, she was fearless and had the aura of a woman who was not inferior to a man.
"Matriarch, why are the Li family's 5,000 soldiers all cowards who hide behind women?" Hu He mocked. You actually led a team of female soldiers to stop me. Fighting with a woman will ruin my reputation. Quickly move aside and let the men speak.”
Matriarch Li spat and said,""Hu He, when your grandmother went into battle to kill the enemy, I didn't even know which woman you were twirling under! You want to bully our Li family's orphans and widows? You're dreaming! Come, come, let grandma teach you what it means to fight against two armies and what it means to go into battle and kill the enemy!”
"Hmph, Matriarch, if you don't move away, don't blame me for being rude!”
"Alright! Let's see how many dumplings you can make. Don't just play with your mouth, show some real skills.”
The two commanders waved their weapons, and the two teams slowly moved forward.
The cold wind blew, and the sound of horse hooves at the end of the street was like a torrential rain. The sound of the zither suddenly rang out in the carriage. It was as if two armies were facing each other. Thousands of troops surged forward, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Cold light flashed in front of their eyes, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Countless people fell, and countless corpses turned into mud. After the fierce battle, corpses littered the ground, horses neighed, and flags stained with blood fluttered in the wind, a tragic scene.
The sound of the zither suddenly stopped, making one's hair stand on end, as if one was in person.
Suddenly, someone in the car shouted,""When the beans are boiled, they burn with the osmund, and the beans cry in the belly. They were born from the same root, so why burn each other so quickly?”
