Lu Yuzhu was sitting in Liu Ling's Chinese army tent. Although there were still crystal clear tears on her face, her mood had calmed down a lot. All the uneasiness along the way was completely forgotten the moment she saw Liu Ling.
.Those things that I was thinking about on the way, after Liu Ling said softly, "You have been wronged," all the worries disappeared.
Xun'er looked at his young lady and then at Liu Ling. The big stone in his heart finally fell. The young lady's worries along the way were also her worries. In her heart, the young lady's affairs were far more important than her own.
The matter was important. Therefore, seeing that the young lady did not receive any cold words from Liu Ling, her own humiliation at being insulted was not that serious.
Liu Ling saw that the two people's moods had calmed down, and he showed Lu Yuzhu a smile as warm as the sun. He was not from this era, so he did not have as many etiquette restrictions in this society. For Lu Yuzhu, a girl, her family was not
He didn't feel that this girl was shameless for running thousands of miles away to look for him. On the contrary, he felt full of respect for this girl and a little bit heartbroken.
"It's good to be here. I sent dozens of people out to look for you, but there has been no news about you. You must have suffered a lot during these days and suffered a lot. Take a good rest first, and you will never come back again.
You have been wronged."
Liu Ling stood up and said with a smile: "As long as Liu Ling is alive, he will protect you."
This sentence does not seem very touching in modern times, but when Lu Yuzhu and Xun'er heard it, their hearts were so warm. I just felt that with Liu Ling's words, all the hardships along the way were nothing.
Lu Yuzhu felt relieved when she saw that Liu Ling did not look down on her and had no intention of sending anyone to drive them back to Taiyuan Mansion.
There were still tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and she raised her hands to wipe them away gently. She told herself in her heart that this time, she had done nothing wrong!
Liu Ling walked up to Xun'er and said: "You were wronged before, and I already know about it. Not many people know about this matter, and... fortunately, it was stopped in time. There is just something I want to tell you.
, those soldiers are going to be killed. The crime is not to be rude to you, but to collude with the Zhou army to steal the camp. On the way, they were having a secret conversation with the Zhou army, so they took advantage of the situation.
Caught."
He looked at Xun'er's delicate, obviously childish face and asked with a smile: "Do you remember?"
Xun'er was a girl after all, and she was young. When she saw Liu Ling smiling and talking about murder, and treating it as a normal thing, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She twisted her clothes with her hands nervously, not knowing what to answer.
What. Did she want to say not to kill anyone? But she knew that was impossible. Although Liu Ling's tone was calm, it carried an unquestionable demeanor of a superior.
She raised her head and glanced at Liu Ling in panic, and finally nodded.
Liu Ling turned around and asked Lu Yuzhu: "If word of what happened today is spread, it will have a great impact on you and the prime minister. Among those who know, in addition to the scout, there are also twenty-four cavalrymen of the Black Kirin Army.
, and the school captain Wang Xiaoniu, plus Zheng Xu, the commander of the first battalion of the Black Kirin Army. Wang Xiaoniu is my personal soldier, and this matter will rot in his stomach for the rest of his life. Zheng Xu is His Majesty the Emperor's man and knows the matter
Naturally, I won't talk nonsense about the severity. As for the twenty-four cavalrymen of the Black Qilin Army... you make the decision."
After speaking, Liu Lingruo glanced at Lu Yuzhu meaningfully.
After Lu Yuzhu heard Liu Ling's words, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on her body. Her face turned pale with fright, and her body trembled involuntarily. She subconsciously looked at Xun'er, and saw that her best sister, who was usually her best, was also
Their faces were pale with fear. Liu Ling's meaning was very clear, that is, in order to preserve the reputation of the two of them, it was not enough to kill the murderers. Twenty-four cavalrymen of the Black Kirin Army rescued the two of them from the tiger's mouth.
, I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape death!
Lu Yuzhu subconsciously wanted to object, but when she saw the eyes looking directly at her, she hesitated. There was no right or wrong for Liu Ling to do this, and it was for her own sake. She understood deeply that the choice Liu Ling gave her was actually
There is only one answer. And this answer is difficult for her to make no matter what!
She was struggling in her heart, and the look she looked at Liu Ling changed from expectation to grievance, from grievance to begging, and from begging to despair, but Liu Ling just looked at her quietly, and from the look in his eyes
It's hard to see how he made up his mind. Gradually, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Yuzhu's forehead.
Her breathing became faster and faster, and her heartbeat became faster and faster.
"Prince Liu, can you not kill them?"
Finally, Lu Yuzhu gritted her teeth and asked Liu Ling. Her eyes were no longer so weak, but became very firm. Seeing her change, Liu Ling smiled softly and said, "I said it before
Now, their life and death are in your hands. If you tell them to live, they will live; if you tell them to die, they will die."
"good!"
Lu Yuzhu plucked up the courage, stood up, looked up at Liu Ling's face and said: "I don't want to kill them, I want them to become my personal guards. Please grant your permission and give them to me. From now on, they will be my slaves, life and death."
at me."
Liu Ling chuckled and said, "Yeah, very good."
When she saw the narrow-mindedness in Liu Ling's eyes, Lu Yuzhu suddenly felt like she had been deceived. She immediately felt angry. For the first time, she felt that Liu Ling was not perfect. He was too cold-blooded! With twenty-four people
How can this be a child's play if you are joking with your life?
Lu Yuzhu plucked up the courage, looked directly into Liu Ling's eyes and said, "I just want to know if you would have really killed them if I had nodded just now!"
Liu Ling nodded, looked at Lu Yuzhu, and said seriously: "Yes!"
He walked up to Lu Yuzhu and looked closely at this girl who had the courage to pursue true love but was actually very sensitive and fragile inside.
"I wasn't joking with you just now. What I said was serious. If you nod, I will immediately order the heads of the twenty-four Black Qilin Army cavalry. I just want to tell you that your
You can kill someone with just a thought, and you can save a life with just a thought."
Lu Yuzhu was angry, really angry. She discovered that the man she had always thought was fair, clear, mighty, and perfect was not what she thought. A man who didn't value other people's lives at all could kill twenty-four people casually.
How can a living person truly love a woman? Perhaps, both men and women are just tools in his eyes. There is no need to cherish them at all, just use them as they come, and wipe them away when they are no longer useful.
remove!
Seeing the calm expression on Liu Ling's face, Lu Yuzhu's eyes began to burst into flames of anger uncontrollably.
"They are all human beings! Living human beings! Why is it so easy to kill people in your mouth? Don't you think you are cruel?! They did not make a mistake, but you used his life to test my thoughts!
If I nod, their lives will be taken away by you. Their death is so unworthy! I believed in you wrongly, and they also believed in you wrongly!"
She looked like a hungry little leopard when she was angry.
Liu Ling smiled calmly and said, "Am I cruel?"
He looked at Lu Yuzhu's angry expression and said meaningfully: "Will you nod your head to what I say?"
Lu Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "I can't! But what if, if I nod, will you chop off the heads of twenty-four people for no reason!"
Liu Ling said word for word: "There is no such thing as a contingency in designing military law. There are only two choices, one, agree, and two, refuse. If you don't nod, then they will not die. And if you nod,
Then they did not die for no reason, but died to protect the honor of you, the eldest lady of the Lu family, His Majesty's adopted sister, and His Royal Highness Princess Yongning."
Liu Ling's expression was terrifyingly serious: "I just want you to know that one of your decisions may cause many unfortunate things. This is true for the lives of twenty-four of them, and the same is true for other things you can't imagine. For example...
...This time you came out to see me in private. Do you know how many people are worried and sleepless at night because of you? How many people are still looking for your traces in the boundless mountains and forests? Even His Majesty, in order to protect you and your father,
And by making you the princess, I gave you the status of an imperial envoy, which justifies your selfish desires!"
"you!"
Hearing what Liu Ling said, Lu Yuzhu's face suddenly turned pale!
He still looks down on me, and still thinks that I am despicable for coming to him privately! Haha, how ridiculous! Just before, I was blinded by his hypocritical appearance, and thought that I had really pursued my own happiness.
! I thought I had found the love of my life! It’s ridiculous, he actually looks down on me at all in his heart, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rejected me when I was in Taiyuan and at his home.
Haha, I am so ridiculous, shameful, and hateful, but not pitiful!
He is right. How many people have I implicated for my own selfish desires? My father is still so frightened that he cannot sleep peacefully all night.
, they would not have died if he had not come to Yuzhou. The twenty-four Black Qilin Army cavalry would not have encountered a crisis that they did not even know existed. His Majesty would not grant him any title just to take care of his father's face.
Princess Yongning, those who are still looking for me in the wild will not sleep in the open without knowing when they will return.
I am a disaster star, a disaster star that brings trouble to others wherever I go.
Lu Yuzhu looked at Liu Ling with a sad smile, but her eyes gradually lost their luster!
Just when she was on the verge of despair, Liu Ling held her cold palm, and a warmth came from her palm, which revived her heart that was almost as gray as ashes.
"Do you know why I say this? Because I want to tell you, don't be willful. One of your decisions will often affect the lives of many people, even life and death."
Liu Ling warmed her palms and said with a gentle smile: "You came all the way here, how could I not understand your thoughts? But I want you to know that if you do this, many people will be implicated. Be me Liu
Ling's wife, you have to be sensible and know your way forward and retreat, and you can't be willful anymore, okay?"
He said, be my Liu Ling’s wife!
Lu Yuzhu raised her head sharply, tears falling uncontrollably.
Liu Ling reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, smiled softly and said softly: "Take a rest for two days and go back to Taiyuan Mansion. Go back and apologize to your father and tell her that you were wrong. Then wait for me at home with peace of mind until I return to Taiyuan.
When I return home, I will marry you openly."
Liu Ling said seriously: "How can I not understand your thoughts? Liu Ling is not a stone-hearted person, even if he is a stone-hearted person, he has been warmed by you. From today on, let alone the wife betrothed to me by His Majesty, you are just a face-to-face person."
No matter how great the difficulties and obstacles are, no matter how many people oppose me, I will still marry you!"
"So you let His Majesty feel at ease, let your father feel at ease, let everyone who cares about you feel at ease, let me finish this battle with peace of mind, and then go back to find you. Okay?"
Liu Ling's smile was like the spring breeze that melted the ice and snow, and also melted Lu Yuzhu's newly frozen heart.
Lu Yuzhu nodded heavily. She held Liu Ling's hand tightly and said, "I listen to you!"
Liu Ling smiled, as bright as the sun.
"Well, I'll take note of the mistakes you made this time. When I get back to Taiyuan Mansion and marry you, I'll still have to deal with the family law. Whether this family law is light or heavy depends on how you behave when you return.
How is it? If you are obedient, you may even change the family law as a reward."
Lu Yuzhu nodded vigorously: "I am obedient and will not be willful anymore! It's just... what are the family laws?"
She asked a little nervously.
Liu Ling smiled, with an evil look on his face, and said: "Family punishment is a relatively painful punishment, and you might like it. How should I put it, for some parts of you, it can also encourage others.
