On such a night, Mingzhu and Lizi were of course always waiting anxiously. Especially Mingzhu, she suddenly felt that her mind was so confused. She looked at the candlelight infatuatedly, with thousands of thoughts. She suddenly thought of modern times, and then again
Flying back to ancient times, back to the present. She found that since she came to the Tang Dynasty, everything had become so out of control. She met one mysterious person after another, and she also became attached to a family with the same surname as herself.
.Up to now, she can no longer tell whether she is lucky or unfortunate to have met Wangyounu. She only knows that in her heart, she has regarded Wangyounu as a friend.
"Lizi, tell me, will something happen to Sister Wangyou?" Mingzhu can't remember how many times she has asked Lizi this question. And she is already familiar with Lizi's answer - don't worry, grandma is so old
In itself, nothing will happen.
But Mingzhu still wanted to ask, because she needed such comfort. But she didn't expect that this time, Lizi didn't answer her immediately, but frowned and looked at the dark night outside in a daze.
"Lizi, did you hear me? What are you thinking about?" Mingzhu asked again.
Li Zi was still looking outside and said solemnly:
"I don't know either. But I think I can't wait any longer."
Mingzhu was shocked by him:
"Li Zi, what do you want to do?"
Li Zi suddenly smiled bitterly:
"I can't do anything because I don't have that much ability, but I think I shouldn't waste time doing this anymore. I should go practice martial arts. Only by practicing martial arts as soon as possible can I protect you.
And grandma."
Lizi's words moved Mingzhu, and she felt that Lizi seemed to have matured suddenly and turned into a truly responsible man who could be relied on.
At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door.
"Who is it!" Tang Lizi immediately became like a leopard that had discovered danger. His whole body immediately tensed up, his eyes widened, and the big stick he had been holding in his hand was also raised high.
Got up.
"It's me, Li Longji." Li Longji replied in a low voice. He found that under Mingzhu's training, he was now accustomed to giving his name directly. This was an incredible thing in the past.
Mingzhu also heard Li Longji's voice, so while signaling Li Zi not to be so nervous with her eyes, she hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door. Before Li Longji walked into the room, Mingzhu asked anxiously:
"How's it going? How are they doing, sister?" Mingzhu's voice suddenly dropped, because as Li Longji walked into the room, she also saw Li Longji's face, so Mingzhu immediately understood - the situation was not good.
wonderful!
"Did something happen to them?" Mingzhu asked, feeling that her heart had stopped beating.
Looking at Mingzhu's appearance, Li Longji swallowed the words he had already spoken, fearing that the news he brought would hit Mingzhu too hard.
Mingzhu has been staring at Li Longji's face, so any subtle change in Li Longji's expression cannot escape her eyes. She is so smart, so she can guess what Li Longji is thinking just by looking at him.
, Mingzhu then smiled miserably and said:
"If you have anything to do, just say it. No matter what, I am a man of two generations, and I won't be intimidated so easily."
Li Longji looked at the pearl. Under the candlelight, her figure became thinner and her face was a little pale, but only deep in her eyes, there was still flashing the strength that made Li Longji's heart beat the most!
Li Longji approached Mingzhu and whispered:
"They haven't heard anything back yet."
He was afraid that Mingzhu would not be able to bear it after hearing the news, so he deliberately lowered his voice very softly and slowly, and at the same time raised one hand slightly, as if preparing to support Mingzhu. However, Mingzhu did not do what he said.
As expected, he was frightened and lost his mind, but he seemed more calm than before. Li Longji found that he could not understand this girl more and more.
Mingzhu asked in a deep voice:
"Then what are your plans now?"
"I came here just to discuss this matter with you. I want to take you out of Chang'an..."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid you're in danger!"
Just as Mingzhu was about to speak, Lizi suddenly interrupted:
"The prince is right, Mingzhu, you should not stay in Chang'an now. After all, Wu Sansi's target is you. If he finds out that he has arrested the wrong person, he will definitely come to arrest you again."
"That's right," Li Longji said, "Furthermore, the hunting fox is from the Wu family who went with my people. I am also afraid that this will give Wu Sansi an excuse to attack me. Mingzhu, I am not timid, but not now.
When we have a head-on confrontation, you believe me. After this storm subsides, I will definitely come back and realize our plan!"
Seeing that Mingzhu still hesitated to speak, Li Longji became a little anxious:
"Mingzhu, you still can't trust me, do you think..."
"No," Mingzhu suddenly interrupted Li Longji, "I'm not thinking about that, I'm thinking about something else."
"What's up?"
Mingzhu looked at the dancing candlelight and said faintly:
"It can be said that Sister Wangyou and Xie Hu are both my companions, especially Sister Wangyou. They went to prison for me. Their lives and deaths are unknown now. If I just leave like this, then I can't forgive myself.
I would rather sacrifice my life than be a person who abandons my companions and escapes alone."
"Aren't they your subordinates?" Li Longji found it difficult to understand Mingzhu's thoughts, so he explained with his usual thinking, "They charge into battle for you and sacrifice themselves for you. It is their duty."
Mingzhu didn't understand what Li Longji meant. She was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Li Longji was referring to the fact that Wangyounu and the others were the patron saints of Mingzhu. She smiled lightly:
"Even if they are my subordinates, they are also my friends and companions."
Seeing that Li Longji's expression was still blank, Mingzhu smiled again:
"I know that at this point, we will never be able to achieve mutual understanding and unity. This is not your fault or my fault. It is the cognitive difference caused by our respective life experiences. In short, I appreciate your support for me.
But I can't leave with you because I have my own principles. You should leave quickly. Since Chang'an is in danger, don't stay any longer."
The room fell into a stiff silence for a moment. At this time, Li Zi suddenly spoke:
"Mingzhu, Your Majesty, let me say something. Maybe Your Majesty cannot understand Mingzhu's meaning, but I can understand it. I don't know if Mingzhu is doing this right, but I know that if it were me, I would do the same.
But, Mingzhu, I still want to persuade you to go with the prince. Don’t you still want to save your mother? What if something happens to you? What will your mother do? She is still waiting for you at home! "
Although Li Longji also knew that Lizi's words were helping him, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart because Lizi actually said that he could understand Mingzhu's choice and would do the same thing as Mingzhu, and because
, he mentioned Mingzhu’s mother, but until now, he didn’t know anything about Mingzhu’s family affairs.
If someone had told Li Longji before that he would be jealous of someone like Tang Lizi, then he would have thought that person was crazy! But now, he really cares about Tang Lizi. He
He couldn't tell when he became so stingy. He only knew that after he met Mingzhu, everything that belonged to Li Longji, the King of Linzi, and the superiority of the Tang prince disappeared.
, what was left for him was endless uncertainty and uneasiness.
Mingzhu chuckled:
"Of course I want to save my mother, but I believe that if my mother knew that I sacrificed my companions to save her life, she would not forgive me. If she knew what was happening now, she would definitely support me.
My choice."
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the three people in the room were frightened. Li Zi and Li Longji reacted almost at the same time. One of them picked up the wooden stick and the other pulled it out.
He took the dagger and blocked it in front of Mingzhu.
What appeared at the door were two faces that were very familiar to Li Longji - Wu Sansi and Fang Mingzhu!
And just when Li Longji was stunned, Li Zi had already pounced on him and shouted at the same time:
"Grandma, you're back!"
Wangyounu forced a smile, and it looked like she was holding back huge pain. However, when she saw Li Zi, she immediately recognized herself, and she was still very happy in her heart, so her smile was also very warm.
But Li Longji still held the dagger in his hand tightly and looked at Wu Sansi coldly without saying a word. After Wu Sansi came in and Li Longji looked at each other for a long time, they suddenly spoke:
"You keep looking at me. Does this mean that my disguise is relatively successful?" It was the voice of Hunting Fox.
Li Longji was shocked. He stared at 'Wu Sansi' for a long time before murmuring:
"Are you a fox hunter?"
"Yes, Wu Sansi has become my prisoner!"
Li Longji felt a chill on his back. He tried his best to stay calm and asked:
"how did you do it?"
"It didn't take much effort, and we did it." Liehu answered a little bit wrongly, but that's right, the process of him and Wangyounu catching Wu Sansi, although it was thrilling to experience it personally, but if you really want them to say it, it was really nothing.
Easy to talk about.
What Li Longji is thinking about now is no longer the problem that Wu Sansi cannot threaten him. What he is thinking about now is another more serious problem:
"You have violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty by assassinating the ministers! You should be punished for your crime!"
