Fortunately, I saw him after I woke up. The moment he was there, even all the monsters and monsters quickly receded, leaving only the spring light in the room. The years were quiet and the world was stable.
She stretched out her hand to open the curtain and saw clearly that there were a few bloodshot eyes in his deep pool-like eyes. Her heart clenched. She stood up and touched his face, saying:
"Why don't you rest for a while?"
He stood up, gently put his arm around her shoulders, lowered his head to smell the fragrance in her hair, and said apologetically:
"Shu Yao, I have to rush back to the capital as soon as possible...I'll have someone escort you from behind, okay?"
Shu Yao's heart ached. It was because she was too careless. She never thought that he had abandoned all the matters in his hands and traveled all night to save her from the bandits. Now he didn't even care about resting.
If she didn't, she would have to rush back. Her nose felt a little sore, so she tried to gently put her arms around his waist, raised her head to meet his eyes, and even though her heart was full of reluctance, she opened her mouth and said:
"What's wrong with this? Just go and do your business."
Shen Junzhuo felt even more uncomfortable in her heart. She was so sensible and well-behaved, and she would rather wrong herself, but what he was going to tell her next would cause so much harm to her...
If he could not let her know, he would rather hide it from her for the rest of his life, but how is this possible!
"Shu Yao," Shen Junzhuo looked down at her eyes and said softly: "Something happened in Yongzhou..."
Shu Yao felt that all the blood in her body surged up, and four words "Misfortunes never come singly" popped into her mind for no reason. She looked at Shen Junzhuo with a pair of panicked eyes, and her back began to feel cold. Only his hands could give her some relief.
warmth.
"Yongzhou...what's wrong?" She didn't dare to ask, but she still heard her own voice asking.
"The people of the lake besieged Liu Zhizhou and Governor Li, and both of them lost contact and disappeared. The court received news that someone was conniving with the people of the lake to cause trouble, and was even suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and pointed the finger at Governor Li. At the moment, they were afraid that something would happen.
Everyone believes that the imperial court will probably convict Li Cishi without finding him..."
Punishment? Shu Yao felt a little dizzy for a moment. Her father loved the people like his son. Could it be that this was now evidence to punish him? She had also seen those lake residents. Not all of them were extremely vicious people. Sometimes they were simple and kind.
It would still make her feel moved. But now...she kept repeating the word "punishment" in her heart, and she always felt a little unbelievable.
Seeing the panic in her eyes, Shen Junzhuo hurriedly said:
"Don't be afraid, I have sent people to Yongzhou to send more troops. We must find Liu Zhizhou and Li Governor. As long as we find them, everything can still be discussed."
Shu Yao suddenly felt like the sky was about to fall. In the past, even if she was in trouble, there was always her home in Yongzhou as a retreat. But now that her home is gone, her father may still be in jail, and the whole family may even end up in exile.
The fate of being banished to slavery.
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying she became. She tightly grabbed Shen Junzhuo's sleeve and said:
"What about sister? Where is brother? And uncle, what will happen to them?"
Shen Junzhuo looked into her eyes, which were full of trust in him. The next words were cruel, but he could not deceive her, and said:
"The men are allotted and the women are not slaves. It's just that the crime is not as bad as that of a married woman. Brother Yan and his wife will be fine. I will arrange for people to go to your tribe to help them, so they won't suffer. As for you, I happened to have you out of the city.
The news, and also encountered an assassination here, so I simply used the trick, there is no more Li Shuyao in the world..."
The phrase "The men were given away, the women were consigned to slavery... There is no more Li Shuyao in the world" echoed in her ears. The huge fear overwhelmed her, her hands hung down feebly, and she became a rootless duckweed, drifting.
