Great Tang, the ninth year of Wude, the sixth month.
Chang 'an City, Yuchi Mansion
Li Xiu had just finished his breakfast when he slowly walked towards the living room.
After traveling for more than ten years, Li Xiu used facts to prove how difficult it was for a modern person who was not diligent to survive in this chaotic ancient era.
Not long ago, Li Xiu, whose edges and corners had long been polished, was brought to the current Yuchi Manor by Yuchi Jingde with half a jade pendant.
Back then, Li Xiu's father, whom he had lost long ago, had a life-and-death friendship with Yuchi Jingde. He had even saved Yuchi Jingde on the battlefield more than once.
Therefore, both parties agreed that if their descendants were of the same sex, they would become brothers and sisters.
If they were of the opposite sex, they would become husband and wife.
Thus, Li Xiu had unknowingly become the second commander of the Women's Army after Princess Ping Yang, the future husband of the First War Goddess of the Great Tang, Yuchi Mingyu.
Or rather, it was more reasonable to say that he was a live-in son-in-law.
Although the Yuchis told Li Xiu not to think too much, they did not treat Li Xiu as a live-in son-in-law.
But at least, the rest of the people in Chang 'an thought so.
Moreover, it seemed that Yuchi Mingyu didn't like Li Xiu. Ever since he learned of Li Xiu's situation, he had been guarding Liangzhou and never left.
The door was not closed. Li Xiu walked straight into the living room and cupped his hands slightly at the two people inside the door."Uncle, Aunt."
Li Xiu's cheapskate father and Yuchi Jingde's oath was something that happened many years ago.
In addition, their cheapskate father had long since passed away, so the Yuchis could pretend that this matter had never happened.
Yuchi Mingyu's heroic bearing and spiritual aura were not inferior to Princess Ping Yang's Li Xiu Ning from back then. In addition to the Yuchi family's current status.
If Yuchi Jingde was willing to marry, the noble families and the royal family who came to propose marriage would probably be able to break through the Yuchi family's threshold.
Even so, the Yuchis still chose to stick to the oath they made with Li Xiu's father.
Even when Li Shimin personally proposed marriage to his eldest son, Li Chengqian, he was politely rejected by the Yuchis.
Therefore, regardless of the identity of the live-in son-in-law, he would not care about it.
At least Li Xiu himself was very respectful towards the Yuchis.
Smiling at Li Xiu, Yuchi Jingde said with concern,""I wonder who it is? So it's you, Xiu 'er. Did you sleep well last night?”
"Aunt has arranged everything well. Everything is fine with Li Xiu.”
Li Xiu nodded and changed the topic,""It's just that Li Xiu is used to living in poverty. It's been a few months and he still hasn't gotten used to it.”
Yuchi Jingde stroked his beard and chuckled. Before he could say anything else, a loud shout came from outside the living room."Master! Master! Bad news! Bad news!"
After he finished speaking, the Yuchi Manor's butler had already rushed to the front of the crowd, crying and crying,""The Bureau of Military Personnel has just sent news that Li Youliang, Governor of Liangzhou, has surrendered to the Turks! Liangzhou has fallen!"
"My Yu 'Er!"
"Liangzhou has fallen? How is this possible?"
Hearing a few loud cries of disbelief, Concubine Su directly fell into Yuchi Jing De's embrace.
Yuchi Jingde also widened his eyes, which were filled with grief and indignation. His entire body was emitting a strong bloody murderous aura. He directly roared towards the sky,"Li Youliang is a relative of the Great Tang. How dare he do such an outrageous thing!？”
Li Xiu could naturally understand Yuchi Jingde's grief and indignation.
According to the inhumane ways of the Turks, who were no different from wild beasts, Liangzhou had fallen.
On the one hand, Liangzhou would definitely be plunged into misery, and less than one-tenth of the people under its rule would survive.
On the other hand, Yuchi Mingyu, who was guarding Wuwei County, would probably not be spared.
What sort of person was Yuchi Jingde? He could be said to be the pillar of the Great Tang's officials.
But as parents, even Yuchi Jingde, this iron-clad man, was not spared.
Looking at Yuchi Jingde, whose eyes were red and teary, Li Xiu's heart naturally did not feel any better.
Li Xiu's parents had passed away very early in his life. Yuchi Jingde and his wife were the only two people who had made Li Xiu feel the existence of kinship since he had transmigrated for more than ten years.
"There are no less than 50,000 Turkic bandits in Liangzhou. We've lost."
Yuchi Jingde's eyes were lifeless as he looked forward. Two streams of hot tears had already fallen from his cheeks."The Great Tang no longer has any soldiers left. Apothecary Li is leading the Tang's main force to fight the Turks in Lingzhou, while I am leading fifty thousand elite soldiers to defend Jingzhou.”
"Liangzhou, Liangzhou! Yu 'Er!"
Yuchi Jingde muttered to himself, causing Li Xiu's heart to become heavy.
He wanted to console her, but he didn't know where to start.
Suddenly, he heard a voice in his head.
"Ding!"
" God-level selection system binding!"
"New mission issued. The host's fiancée Yuchi Mingyu is suffering from a life and death situation. Do you wish to save her?”
"Option 1: You're a real man if you don't save me! Raise your spear and mount your horse, Liangzhou will save the beauty! [Reward: Character template: Zhao Zilong (Changban version)]”
" Choice 2: What does the life and death of others have to do with me? He didn't care about it and let it develop. [Reward: Exorcism Sword Manual]
Everything in front of him was still. Only a few lines of golden words appeared in front of Li Xiu's eyes.
After the initial shock, Li Xiu's eyes were filled with ecstasy!
Honestly speaking, did he have any feelings for Yuchi Mingyu, whom he had only met once?
Of course not.
Although Yuchi Mingyu was extremely beautiful, Li Xiu didn't think that he was that horny.
However, the Yuchis had treated him as their own for the past few months, and the second option's f * cking reward.
Was there a need to choose between these two options?
"Host, please make your choice!"
The system notification sounded again. Li Xiu took a deep breath and said firmly,"Option 1!"
