When Li Rui left the mountain for Huaiyuan Town, he was riding a horse with a faint smile on his face. His expression was like a cat who had eaten a fat fish. He was extremely satisfied. In the wild forest in the mountains, there was endless wind and moon. It was needless to say how many tricks the two of them had played. Just from his expression, he was extremely happy.
Li Xiu Ning was so angry that she gritted her teeth. When she saw his hateful expression, she couldn't help but want to whip him a few times. She completely forgot that she was just as happy at that time. Even if she squatted down shyly at Li Rui's request and enjoyed the flute by the stream, when she didn't feel anything, the satisfaction and happiness of pleasing and satisfying the man she loved filled her body and mind. However, she just couldn't bear to see Li Rui's annoying behavior.
Li Rui was actually teasing her on purpose. The two of them played along the way into Huaiyuan Town.
When Li Rui and Li Xiuning were enjoying themselves in the mountains, they didn't know that Huaiyuan Town had been in chaos.
Li Yuan originally thought that he would be fine after locking his daughter in the house. Who would have thought that Li Xiu Ning would actually play the trick of breaking out of prison and elope with Li Rui.
Li Yuan didn't have any other troops with him, so the entire grain protection army was tormented. All 1,200 people were scattered out to look for Li Rui and Li Xiu Ning.
Li Yuan had been so mad that he didn't notice it at all. In this way, who in Huaiyuan Town didn't know that Li Xiu Ning and Li Rui had eloped? So what if he found her? So what if he soaked Li Rui in a pig cage? Could Li Xiuning still marry into the Chai family? Or could it be that he would not even let his own daughter off and execute her together?
The grain guards were now Li Yuan's soldiers in name, but in fact, everyone was more willing to listen to Li Rui, so everyone did not put in any effort in the search. Furthermore, most people didn't think that Li Rui's actions were morally wrong. On the contrary, they felt that Li Rui's actions were very manly.
After a whole night, they didn't even see anyone, let alone find her.
As time passed, Li Yuan gradually calmed down. After this night, whether he was willing or not, Li Xiu Ning was already Li Rui's woman. Even if Li Rui didn't do anything to Li Xiu Ning, it was the same. Who would believe that nothing happened after a single night together?
After all, Li Yuan was someone who could be the emperor. After calming down, he could quickly make a decision that was beneficial to him. Send someone to the Chai family to break off the engagement. Li Xiu Ning won't marry Chai Shao anymore and will marry Li Rui instead.
None of the advisors thought that this decision was wrong. The truth had already happened. Since Li Xiu Ning could no longer marry anyone else, then her only role was to rope in Li Rui. As people who looked at benefits, none of the old guys mentioned executing or punishing Li Rui. Li Yuan's daughter had already been lost, and Li Rui, this fierce general, could not afford to lose any more. Otherwise, they would really be defeated. Now, it was just a loss. In fact, there was no loss at all.
Li Yuan had already decided not to pursue Li Rui's responsibility. The brothers of the grain guard army did not really want to capture Li Rui, but there was one person who really wanted to capture Li Rui with all his might, wishing that he could tear Li Rui into pieces.
This person was Liu Hongji. The reason why Liu Hongji hated Li Rui so much was mainly because of jealousy. He wasn't jealous that Li Rui could win Li Xiu Ning's heart, but he was jealous that Li Rui had won Li Yuan's heart.
But don't misunderstand, Liu Hongji was not gay. He was jealous that Li Rui had replaced his position in the Li Residence.
Speaking of which, Liu Hongji was indeed a capable person. Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he was also very smart. He wasn't too old and had a sharp eye. When the Li family was at its lowest point, he chose to rely on Li Yuan and immediately won Li Yuan's trust.
Before Li Rui appeared, Li Yuan had trained Liu Hongji as his number one fighter. Chen Yanshou, Zhangsun Shunde, and the others were older. Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, and Zhangsun Wuji were still too young. Li Jiancheng and Liu Hongji were the only young men in the Li Residence.
Everyone else thought that Li Yuan would be like this for the rest of his life, but Liu Hongji believed that Li Yuan would definitely achieve great things. As the number one fighter of the Li Residence, it was not impossible for him to get a purple robe.
But Li Rui's appearance broke all of this. Li Rui's martial arts skills were higher than Liu Hongji's, his archery was better than Liu Hongji's, and he was loved by the soldiers. Moreover, he had an advantage over Liu Hongji in terms of age. As a result, Li Rui was favored and Liu Hongji was not.
Therefore, Liu Hongji hated Li Rui from the bottom of his heart. He wished that Li Rui would die so that no one would fight with him.
Initially, Liu Hongji thought that he had no chance. He didn't expect Li Rui to be so lustful that he actually kidnapped Li Yuan's eldest daughter. Wasn't this courting death?
Liu Hongji didn't know that Li Yuan had changed his mind, so he still led his men to search for Li Rui. The city had been searched thoroughly, so Liu Hongji brought his men out of the city and planned to search the mountains.
As soon as he left the city gate, he saw Li Rui and Li Xiu Ning riding a horse leisurely towards Huaiyuan Town.
Liu Hongji didn't even think about it and rushed forward with his men…
