Lu Zhiyao went back to the mountains directly. Liao Wuhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw her coming back like this. He hesitated to speak and still didn't ask anything.
Lu Zhiyao changed into good clothes and stayed in the mountains for two days before leaving again. The three children held hands and reluctantly watched Lu Zhiyao leave. After she disappeared, Qingmo turned to look at Liao Wuhen beside him.
, asked: "Is what you said last time true?"
Liao Wuhen glanced at him, as if thinking about what he said.
"I want to be with my mother." Qing Mo looked at Liao Wuhen with some fear. Every word that came out of his mouth was very careful. "As long as I obey and practice, can I be with my mother?"
?”
Liao Wuhen smiled and nodded. His smile was rare. Perhaps even Lu Zhiyao had never seen him look like this.
"Then I will practice martial arts with my sister tomorrow." Qing Mo said this with a pouty mouth. Rather than practicing martial arts, he preferred to go to the attic and sleep with a book in his arms.
Liao Wuhen was very happy that Qing Mo could make this decision. It has to be said that the two children of Lu Zhiyao are really good candidates for martial arts training. Although Qing Mo has always resisted learning martial arts from him, in Qinghan
When he was gesticulating happily, he just stood aside and watched, but over time he would find that he could do everything Qinghan knew. This surprised Liao Wuhen, and it was better than Lu Zhiyao's growth.
The surprise is even worse.
Lu Zhiyao didn't know what kind of deals Liao Wuhen made with the children when he was away. But Qinghan Qingmo did learn from Liao Wuhen under such circumstances. Although the training was intense
Far less than Lu Zhiyao at that time, Liao Wuhen was much more polite to them when Lu Zhiyao was away, but they were still children anyway.
Under the scorching sun, the three children each had their own things to do. Qing Mo Qinghan's tired little face was red and sweating profusely. Li Luo also sat aside and helped Liao Wuhen crush the herbs.
Lu Zhiyao would still come back every night, but because Liao Wuhen didn't do anything to the children and they didn't tell Lu Zhiyao, she didn't notice all this. She just felt that the children had lost weight and felt distressed.
Incredible.
Since Lu Zhiyao had a falling out with Xuanyuan Haotian last time, the two have not seen each other again. Xuanyuan Haotian has not given her any more tasks, and even Xuanyuan Junfan is wise enough not to bother her again.
This gives Lu Zhiyao more time to do his own things.
It has been almost a month since she joined the escort team, and Lu Zhiyao has gradually become familiar with everyone here. She has not moved the two carts of things she brought back from Xia Lai Country, and has always left them there. But how many are there in total?
But she knew it clearly in her heart. With so much jewelry placed there, it was normal for someone to be tempted. So when Lu Zhiyao secretly checked the items in the car again and found that they were gone, she
No surprise.
Three days later, Lu Zhiyao gathered everyone together. She only said one sentence, "I don't need people with unclean hands and feet who only want to take advantage of small things."
Searching one by one, Lu Zhiyao observed the expressions on everyone's faces. Would she not know who stole the thing? If there is one thing, there will be two. If there is no one thing, there will be no second one. They are
She could clearly see what was being done in places she could not see.
The thieves were two young women. I heard that they had known each other before they joined the escort. Lu Zhiyao didn't want to use the word "birds of a feather flock together" to describe them. They were both children from poor families, even if they were concubines in their hearts.
The dream was shattered, but she still hoped to live a good life in the future. Lu Zhiyao could understand this feeling. However, the bad thing was that they did this when she needed to scare the monkeys. In order to achieve the goal, someone must pay.
The price, I can't blame her.
"Send him to the palace and tell the emperor the truth. Let the emperor decide whether he should be sent to the army or dealt with in other ways."
A cold voice without any emotion came from behind the mask. Everyone watched helplessly as the two people were taken away, with sympathy and fear in their eyes. With so many people, they almost all knew what was in the car.
Almost all of them have had a bad idea about what's inside.
"The competition I mentioned to you before, whoever gets the first place, everything will belong to you." Lu Zhiyao said softly, "I don't need to say more about what's in the car. You know it. Although in this mountain
You don't need it, but believe me, as long as you have strength, you will be free. We are just a group of poor people trapped in a cage. If we want to escape, we can only rely on ourselves."
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, she walked away. Many people looked at her back in silence.
Meng Qing followed Lu Zhiyao all the way. When Lu Zhiyao looked at her, she couldn't help but whisper: "Master, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Oh? Are you tempted?" Lu Zhiyao stopped and looked at her with a smile, "So those are your motivations."
"I will definitely practice hard!" Meng Qing said with determination. She had been eyeing that car of goodies for a long time, but she didn't expect that Lu Zhiyao planned to give them all away...
The two women were sent to Xuanyuan Haotian. After hearing the whole story, Xuanyuan Haotian glanced at them and said coldly: "They will be tortured and tortured."
The so-called corporal punishment is to carry out corporal punishment and then be transported to the government or military camp for labor. The so-called corporal punishment is to cut off the nose, scratch the face and apply ink on the wound to leave a mark. This is very light compared with the death penalty.
But in a place like Qingming Kingdom, the punishment of women is still very severe.
After Lu Zhiyao sent the two away, she didn't think about them anymore. She looked forward to going back to see her children after dark. The sunset was the only thing she looked forward to every day. Lu Zhiyao didn't want to think about what was happening outside, but there was some news
, even if she doesn’t want to know, someone will still take the initiative to tell her.
Xuanyuan Junfan came, bringing the emperor's secret order.
The soldiers of the Xia Lai Kingdom pressed on the border, making it clear that they were preparing for a big battle. Xuanyuan Hao ordered Lu Zhiyao to be ready to leave at any time, and rushed with him to the border to meet the enemy.
"When did the emperor think so highly of me?" Lu Zhiyao said mockingly, "I am a woman involved in national affairs. I don't know anything about fighting. It will be in vain if I go there. I bother you to bring a message to the emperor, just say Qi
Yao can't accept this decree."
"You don't know how to fight, who else knows better than you?" Xuanyuan Junfan said with a helpless smile: "Do you think the emperor will give up after saying this? Zhiyao, I told you that there is no benefit in confronting the emperor.
"
"I have never wanted to antagonize anyone. It's you who never want me to live a good life. What can I do?"
"So I ask you, do you want to marry me? Becoming a member of the Xuanyuan family will be beneficial not only to you, but also to your children."
"Your Majesty, can't you find a woman?" Lu Zhiyao looked him up and down, but he didn't think he would be short of a woman. "What's the point of marrying a woman like me with several children? It's still a good life for Your Majesty."
Enough has happened, do you want others to see the joke?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. This girl really doesn't understand good people's hearts." Xuanyuan Junfan let out a long sigh, "Think carefully about what I said. If your children are named Xuanyuan, no one here will dare to do anything to them.
.”
"My child will never be named Xuanyuan in this life. This is the only thing I can be sure of now. I appreciate the prince's kindness."
"Don't speak too early. I'll wait for your reply later." Xuanyuan Junfan smiled strangely, which made Lu Zhiyao have to think more. "Also, it's not without reason that the emperor asked you to come with him. The emperor of Xia Lai Kingdom
With Prince Luo here in person, don’t you want to meet your old friend?”
"Lin Yixiang is here too?" Lu Zhiyao automatically ignored what Xuanyuan Junfan said about Lin Yinan. She had wanted to kill Lin Yixiang for a long time, but had never been able to succeed. During the years in Qingming Kingdom, his impression of his importance in her heart
It was getting lighter and fainter. If it hadn't been for Xuanyuan Haotian's actions a few days ago, she would have almost forgotten that Lin Yixiang was still alive.
"Why do you react so strongly to him?" Xuanyuan Junfan teased: "The old relationship is still over?"
"My lord, if you always talk so openly, something will really happen." Lu Zhiyao said to him seriously: "Even if Lin Yixiang comes, I won't go."
"I learned from you to speak freely. After all, you are only afraid of Lin Yinan." Xuanyuan Junfan saw her clearly, "He already knew you were here, what is there to be afraid of?"
"What I'm afraid of is not him, but the thousands of innocent people of Xia Lai Kingdom." Lu Zhiyao looked at Xuanyuan Junfan with a sad and solemn expression, and said slowly: "I no longer have the extravagant hope of stopping this war.
Come down, but I still hope to do what I can. I can't save them, but I don't want my hands to be stained with their blood again. Maybe my words today will eventually reach the ears of the emperor, but
I still want to say that whether it is Xia Yao, Lu Zhiyao, or Qi Yao standing here, they can only be from Xia Lai Kingdom in this life. How many of those soldiers were brought out by my father, and how many of them were brought out by my father?
How many people have seen me and known me? What I can't face is not Lin Yinan, but that I can't stand in front of them as a traitor and go against them. The emperor has many ways to break the morale of the army, not a few.
If I don't, I won't be able to accomplish anything. No matter what, I won't go to this battle. Even if my master threatens me, the answer I give will be the same."
"So you really don't want to take revenge?" Xuanyuan Junfan didn't say anything for a while, and then asked, "As far as I know, the demise of the Xia family should be directly related to Lin Yixiang, right?"
So even the Queen Mother made a statement, no matter whether she won or not, her family must be avenged. In other words, no matter what the situation on the battlefield was, Lin Yixiang must be killed.
"Lin Yichen is alive and well here, what is Lin Yixiang so anxious about?" Lu Zhiyao joked, "And even if he wants to kill, I won't do it blatantly."
