Two hours later, Li Xiu 'er led Luo Yuying and Dong Mei to the Black Tortoise Sect.
During the early Tang Dynasty, the Xuanwu Gate was a great gate. It was located at the entrance of the palace and its position was very important.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had once fought with Li Shimin for the control of Xuanwu Gate. Unfortunately, Li Shimin did not care about martial ethics and had bribed Li Jiancheng's trusted aide, Xuanwu Gate's general Chang He.
This was the direct reason for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's failure.
Silently, the control of Black Tortoise Sect had changed hands. This was too fatal.
Looking at this pass that could house over ten thousand soldiers, Li Xiu 'er felt a lot of emotions.
Throughout the generations, the outstanding people who emphasized martial ethics ended up very miserable. Only those who did not emphasize martial ethics had the last laugh.
Martial arts morality would harm oneself and benefit others, but not harm others and benefit oneself!
It was obvious which one to choose!
Yuchi Gong, Chang He, Zhang Liang, and the others were patrolling the Black Tortoise Gate. When they saw Li Xiu 'er, they all came up to her.
"Greetings, King Heluo!" They all cupped their fists and bowed, and the surrounding soldiers also bowed to welcome them.
" Uncles, please get up!" Li Xiu 'er laughed and helped Yuchi Gong, Chang He, and the others up.
"Your Highness, is there anything you need?”Yuchi Gong asked. He had a sturdy build and was wearing armor.
He had just returned from Youzhou with Li Xiu 'er. He didn't rest and came here to guard the Luo Yi Clan.
The physical fitness of the ancient people far exceeded that of modern people. Even if a fierce general did not rest for three to five days, he would still be full of energy. This was unimaginable in the future, where people would die suddenly at any time.
"I'm here to see old Luo Yi, I'll leave immediately!”"You guys go do your own things!" Li Xiu 'er said with a smile.”
"Yes, sir!" Yuchi Gong, Zhang Liang, and the others cupped their fists in unison and bowed before retreating.
Li Xiuer held Luo Yuying's left hand and Dong Mei's right hand, and swaggered in.
Logically speaking, Yuchi Gong's rank was very high and he had many privileges. There was no need for him to bow in front of Li Shiming's princes.
But Li Xiu 'er was different!
At the age of thirteen, he had led two thousand cavalry to capture the King of Yan, Luo Yi, who had an army of two hundred thousand. Such outstanding martial arts had convinced him!
Therefore, he looked at Li Xiu 'er differently from the other princes.
After Li Xiu 'er, Luo Yuying, and Dong Mei walked in, Zhang Liang frowned.
"General Yuchi, King Heluo brought two people in. Those two people don't look like men, they look like women…It's impossible for a man to be so beautiful, except for King Heluo!" Zhang Liang leaned in front of Yuchi Gong and said in a low voice.
"You've observed quite carefully!" Yuchi Gong said indifferently.
"Well, should we check the identities of those two people?" Zhang Liang continued. The great traitor Luo Yi is imprisoned here. The emperor has specially instructed that there must be no mistakes…"
"Then go! We'll rest here!" Yuchi Gong closed his eyes to rest.
Chang He was the same.
Zhang Liang looked around and saw that no one agreed. He could only lower his head and retreat to the side.
He didn't dare to investigate the people brought by King Heluo alone!
If King Heluo were to get angry and slash him, he would at most be scolded by Li Shiming. As for him, he would have died in vain.
At this moment, Yuchi Gong, Chang He, and the others were looking down on Zhang Liang in their hearts, secretly deciding to distance themselves from him in the future.
This guy was a hothead and his brain was slow. He couldn't see the situation clearly. It would be strange if something big didn't happen in the future!
Inside the Black Tortoise Gate, Li Xiu 'er, Luo Yuying, and Dong Mei were led by a group of soldiers into the single cell where Luo Yi was imprisoned.
Luo Yi leaned against the wall, his hands and feet bound by thick and ferocious steel chains, unable to move at all.
Hearing someone enter, Luo Yi raised his head. Unfortunately, he was blind and could no longer see the beautiful world.
"Father!" Seeing the haggard and ragged Luo Yi, Luo Yuying cried and knelt down."Your daughter is useless. I've made you suffer!”
"Ying 'er? You, you're still alive?" Luo Yi said in surprise.
"Yes! King Heluo saved me, but my father, brother, and mother won't be spared. " Sob…" Luo Yuying began to cry again. Her tears were like a pear blossom in the rain.
Luo Yi sighed bitterly." I've never thought that the Land of Yan, which I've painstakingly managed for nearly 20 years, would be lost just like that! Sigh! blinded by greed! It's all my fault for being arrogant and self-righteous in recent years!”
"That's right! If you knew this would happen, why did you do it?" " If you had continued to sympathize with the people and protect the land of Yan, Youzhou would not have been lost so easily!" Luo Yuying cried. If you had brought the entire family to settle in the capital in advance, our entire family would be living happily together now! Unfortunately, there were no ifs! I'll be an orphan soon!"
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Luo Yi also had tears in his eyes, feeling extremely vexed.
However, there was no turning back. This path was chosen by him. It was fate that he had fallen to this point.
Li Xiuer took out a handkerchief and wiped Luo Yuying's tears. She patted her back and said softly,""Things have come to this point, and there's no turning back. Forget the past and embrace the future. From now on, you will live happily by my side!”
"Thank you!" Luo Yuying raised her head and suddenly stretched out her arms to give Li Xiuer a hug.
Then, she pulled Dong Mei out first.
"A little brat who doesn't care about martial arts. When a person is about to die, his words are also kind! Since my daughter has chosen you, you must take good care of her for the rest of your life! If you're unfaithful and hate the old, I won't let you off even if I become a malicious ghost!”Luo Yi said in a deep voice.
"Alright! How dare I disobey my father-in-law's orders? I will definitely ask Yuying to give birth to a few children for me as soon as possible!”Li Xiu 'er laughed and turned to leave.
Luo Yi was stunned at first, then he laughed loudly.
After seeing through everything and letting go of the last father-daughter bond, he could die calmly!
What was a dismembered death?
Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo, and the others all died like this, so how could I fall behind?
I only have one regret, and that is that I'm too thin and not as fat as them. I can't light the sky lanterns for the millions of Chang 'an people to watch.
Hahahaha…
After leaving the Xuanwu Gate, Li Xiuer and Dongmei took Luo Yuying to a nearby river to relax and melt some of their sadness. Then they returned to the King of Heluo.
However, Luo Yuying locked herself in her room after she came back. She didn't even let Dong Mei in.
"Little brat, let me be alone! Don't disturb me! Don't worry, I won't take things too hard!”Luo Yuying shouted.
"Alright then!" Li Xiu 'er nodded and left after letting Dong Mei guard the door.
Xiu-Er Lee returned to Zheng Guanyin's courtyard.
Zheng Guanyin was overjoyed to see Li Xiu 'er come back. She arranged for the maids to cook and helped Li Xiu' er change out of her coat and put on her home clothes.
At this moment, a pretty servant girl walked in with a pale red silk handkerchief in her hand.
"King He Luo, I am Wen Qi, Madam Yang's personal maid. She asked me to give you something, please accept it!”Wen Qi walked over and bowed to Li Xiu 'er, raising her hands.
Nodding, Li Xiu 'er reached out her hand and took the red handkerchief.
A snow lotus was embroidered on it with dark red silk threads. It was elegant, noble, beautiful, and holy.
What was the meaning of this?
Two big question marks appeared on Li Xiu 'er's forehead.
