The morning sun shone on her face through the hole in the roof. She opened her eyes and narrowed them in discomfort. She was used to the brightness. It was a new day, and her heart was filled with the joy of rebirth. The sun was so bright, the air was so fresh, and life was so beautiful.
"Drink the porridge and change your clothes. We should leave.”
Li Yi looked at the man who spoke. The black mask on his face was as black as ink and had a metallic luster. Only his eyes, nose, and mouth were covered, leaving a few holes. His eyes were as bright as two magic lamps, but there was a faint trace of pain and sorrow in them. His gaze was complicated and hid too many things, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
He placed the porridge and clothes beside Li Yi and turned around to walk out. Li Yi slowly changed his clothes and drank the porridge. He exercised his sore and weak muscles and tried to get up. He held onto the wall and walked a few steps before slowly walking out of the room.
This was really an abandoned farmhouse. The courtyard was messy and overgrown with weeds. There was also a strange smell. There was only a small path leading to the outside, which should have been cleared recently. She turned around and saw that the place she lived in was a dilapidated house that was about to collapse. A large amount of wall paint had fallen off, and the entire wall of the house was uneven and on the verge of collapse. It was already not easy for him to find such a place to hide with his injuries.
She looked at the man gratefully. He did not say anything and walked out alone. Perhaps it was because he was taking care of her body, he walked very slowly, as if he was taking a stroll.
"Benefactor was able to save this little girl's life from over five hundred soldiers. Your martial arts skills are truly admirable.”
“……”
"Benefactor, do you have any relationship with the Li family?”
“……”
Li Yi sighed helplessly. It seemed that the other party did not want to tell him about his matter. She followed behind him vigilantly. She was not the kind of person who would foolishly think that someone must be her friend after being saved once.
After walking silently for a while, the man hesitated and asked,"What's the name of the song you sang?"”
"What?" Li Yi was stunned and immediately understood what he was asking. It seemed that he had been at the place where he was trapped for a long time and heard him singing. Thinking about his sorry state at that time, he could not help but blush. "The human heart is boundless."
"It's a good song, but the killing intent is too strong. A man conquers all corners of the world, his heart is filled with heaven and earth, and he smiles at life and death. A woman should stay at home to wait for marriage, assist her husband and teach her children, and be loyal to her husband. It's not proper for you to show your face in public like this.”
Was he concerned? He looked like he had extraordinary martial arts, but he was also a male chauvinist. However, he couldn't be blamed. After all, this was ancient times. Women were just an accessory to men. They would submit to adversity, follow their fathers at home, follow their husbands when they got married, and follow their sons when they got old. If her husband died early, she would be praised for her chastity. If she remarried, she would be an unfaithful slut. Pursuing happiness was even more unorthodox and something that he did not even dare to think about. However, when he heard his reprimand, Li Yi was furious.
"Nurturing her husband and children? I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in my entire life. Fate is not something I can choose, but I will decide the future myself. Women and men were equal and had the right to pursue happiness. A man had three wives and four concubines, but a woman was loyal to her husband. What kind of logic was that?
The parasol trees grow old together, and the mandarin ducks die together.
A chaste woman values her husband's death, and so does her life.
I swear I won't make waves, My heart is like an old well.
It was simply laughable! A person without a long-lasting love for her could make her heart feel as calm as an ancient well. This was self-deception.”
The man stopped in his tracks and looked at Li Yi with surprise, confusion, and indescribable anger.
"I didn't expect you to have so many different ideas. No wonder you disguised yourself as a man and became the Prefecture Overseer of Pingjin State. Unfortunately, a woman is a woman. She doesn't have the strength to even tie a chicken, yet she wants to lead troops to war. Do you think that you're a hero by singing a few heroic songs in the face of life and death? Are you really not afraid of death?" The novel network didn't jump.
Die! Tang Xiaoyu was very afraid. He had become Li Yi for no reason and died on the battlefield so easily. He had died young. The heavens were jealous of talents! But why was this man so annoying? Based on what he said, he would be lucky if he wasn't groomed half to death by the " ladies " in the modern world.
Li Yi was not convinced and said,"Drunken Battlefield Lord Grim, since ancient times, how many people have returned to the battlefield?" Since I've already embarked on this path, I naturally have to face life and death with a smile. However, I will never forget the kindness of my benefactor and will definitely repay you in the future.”
The man looked at Li Yi furiously. Although he could not see his face, he could guess that his face must have been livid with anger. He clenched his fists, and his knuckles made crisp sounds. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he was suddenly stunned. The complicated expression in his eyes became even more chaotic. He helplessly let go of his fist and stopped bickering with Li Yi. He led the way in front and walked into a forest.
Li Yi followed behind him and tried to figure out his thoughts. He should have some kind of relationship with the Li family. Was he a relative or a friend? However, there was no information about this person in the memories that Li Yi left for her.
The two of them passed through a forest. A tall and sturdy city tower appeared in the distance. The number of soldiers guarding the city was twice as many as usual. Fortunately, there were no restrictions on the entry and exit of the people.
The man stopped in his tracks and said coldly,"Taihe Prefecture is in front. You can leave!"”
Li Yi looked into the distance and saw that they had really arrived at Taihe Prefecture. He wondered what was going on inside. The laws of the Great Zhou were strict. Pingjin State had been occupied by Hu He, and all the officials of Pingjin had abandoned the city and fled. This was a serious crime. It was unknown if the other officials who had escaped had made good connections to avoid being punished. Would the Li family be safe?
She looked at the man and was about to part ways with him. She felt that her words were a little abrupt." Thank you. If we meet again, I hope you can tell me your name."”
“……”
Li Yi bowed to him and walked across the grass alone towards the gate of Taihe Prefecture.
"Wait!"
She turned around and looked at him. The sunlight shone on his body, giving him a mysterious glow. He was very tall and a little thin. If it was not an illusion, when he hugged her, his muscles were strong and warm. Just from his temperament alone, people would think that he had a handsome face. After all, heroes were the kind that were handsome, extraordinary, and elegant.
"Take it."
He walked over and stuffed a dagger and two silver ingots into Li Yi's hand.
"Don't get entangled with the authorities, leave early.”
He instructed worriedly. His gaze was complicated. Something warm was flashing inside, but it flashed past, making Li Yi subconsciously think that it must be an illusion. He looked at her quietly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he did not open his mouth.
Without waiting for Li Yi to speak, he had already turned around decisively. He walked quickly and hurriedly as if he was escaping. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared into the forest.
Li Yi looked in the direction that he had left and stared blankly for a while. It was always easier to add flowers to the flowers than to send charcoal in the snow. Although this man was not likable, he had saved her life. His words were unpleasant to the ear, and he was a little clumsy when it came to caring for others. However, he was indeed concerned about Li Yi. However, he was not Li Yi. He was afraid that his bold words would definitely anger him to death. It did not matter who he was. As long as she was sure that the Li family was safe, it was time for her to leave. She would no longer be Li Yi and return to being Tang Xiaoyu. But what should she do to make a living? Would it be acceptable to sell snacks that did not exist in ancient times like other people who had transmigrated? Selling new clothes?
Li Yi quietly sneaked into Taihe Prefecture and bought a straw hat to cover his face. She did not dare to go to the yamen, nor did she dare to casually ask about the Li family's situation, afraid of attracting attention. Although the entire Taihe Prefecture was still bustling and bustling, it faintly gave off the feeling that there was an unusual aura surging in the dark. Could it be because of the Pingjin State incident, or was there another reason? Li Yi had no way of knowing. She could only go to some teahouses and taverns to listen to the gossipers. She did not know if it was true or not, but no matter if it was true or not, there was no smoke without fire. There would always be something right.
They went to several teahouses but didn't hear anything useful. She was a little hungry, so she strolled leisurely into a restaurant. Just as she ordered two small dishes, she heard a few people at the table discussing in low voices.
"Have you heard? The officials who escaped from Pingjin State were about to be executed.”
"No way. A few days ago, I even sent food to the courier station. Those people are fine. Didn't they say that they won't pursue the matter?”The novel network didn't jump.
"Don't pursue the matter? Without even fighting a single battle, the entire Pingjin had been given to the rebels and treacherous cliques for nothing. How could they not pursue it?”
"I heard that the Patrol Officer of Ping Jin rebelled. All the soldiers are in the hands of the Patrol Officer. It's already good enough that you managed to escape."
"The Imperial Court will still be reasonable. Even if they die, they will die in Pingjin. Otherwise, wouldn't they lose the face of the imperial court?”
"Haha…"
"Big Brother, you have someone in the yamen. Tell me, what happened to those officials? Will the Imperial Court pursue this matter?"
A man in his forties smiled smugly and took a sip of wine." It's hard to say whether the other officials will be punished or not. Now that a high-ranking official has come to the court, it's up to him to decide what to do. However, there is one thing that you might not know. Pingjin Prefecture Overseer Li Yi's family and his family's personal guards, a total of 1,912 people, were about to be beheaded on Minghua Street at noon today.”
