Chapter 113: Abandoning the Homeland
That was a close call!
I almost never saw her again.
God has been very kind to him.
Deng Youning's eyes gradually became moist, and a tear slowly slid down uncontrollably, falling right on the back of Li Tianzhuo's hand as he was about to raise it.
“Don’t cry!”
His deep voice was reassuring, and his warm fingertips brushed across the tears in Deng Youning's eyes.
“Ahem~”
General Feng coughed at an inopportune moment.
It was as if he was signaling these two people not to go too far, as he was still here!
Deng Youning stood up in panic.
"A Zhuo, General Feng has something to tell you. I'm going to go see how the medicine is going!"
She made an excuse to leave.
After there was no one in the room, General Feng stepped forward and knelt down beside Li Tianzhuo's bed.
Li Tianzhuo panicked and quickly helped him up.
"Senior, you can't do this!"
General Feng disagreed, "Yes!"
"Although I have been away from my hometown for thirty-five years, the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects in Nanxin Kingdom is indeed performed in this way."
"If I'm not mistaken, you are from Nanxin, your surname is Li, and your mother should be the daughter of the Zhuo family, one of the founding fathers of the country?"
"When the marriage between the Li and Zhuo families was decided, your father was only a teenager."
"I was watching from the side at that time."
General Feng felt quite proud.
If he had not been defeated by the Han family, he could have been considered a veteran of three dynasties of Nanxin!
Hearing this, Li Tianzhuo narrowed his eyes.
Just now, Jun Chenyi had briefly told him what happened during the time he was unconscious.
Li Tianzhuo also knew General Feng's identity.
The fact that he could speak to me like that just now must indicate that he was aware of my identity.
In this case, there is no need for him to hide it any longer.
"General, you have a keen eye, but please keep this a secret for me. You must not let the county lady, the Ninth Prince, and the others know about it."
"Besides, I was removed from the family tree five years ago and demoted to a commoner."
Hearing him talk about these things nonchalantly, General Feng actually felt a little sorry for him for a moment.
Among the many sons of the old master, his father looked most like him.
His current appearance is about 60% similar to that of his former master when he was young, which shows that he and his father are probably carved from the same mold.
But now he has been demoted to a commoner and exiled to a foreign country. The reasons behind this are definitely difficult to fathom.
"What are your future plans?"
"You're going to hide in Dongji for the rest of your life and never go back?"
General Feng asked with concern.
Li Tianzhuo did not reply. Who can predict what will happen in the future?
Seeing this, General Feng sighed and said to himself:
"I have never been back since I left Nanxin thirty-five years ago. Can you tell me what happened to your grandfather later?"
What he cares about most is his old master.
Li Tianzhuo recalled calmly, "He wasn't doing well. He died of illness from overwork just five years after you left."
"Before he died, I sat beside his bed and heard him talk about you. He said that since you, no good general has appeared in Nanxin."
"Sixteen years ago, the two Southeast countries went to war again. If we hadn't taken advantage of the chaos to burn down the Dongji military camp, causing the two sides to fight to a draw, Nanxin would have been defeated without a doubt."
"My father once said that if Nanxin no longer has any good generals within 20 years, it will be annexed by the three kingdoms of the east, west and north."
He felt that Nan Xin's affairs had nothing to do with him anymore, so there was no emotion in his words, and his narration was as plain as boiled water.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
General Feng looked worried at this time.
Not to mention that he had no way to return to the position of General Nan Yin. Even if he went back, he would be unable to do anything now that he had no martial arts skills.
So, after learning about these things, how could he not worry about the country?
He thought about it and decided to take out the necklace of Queen Mother Dongji.
Even if it is just his way of repaying a favor, he must give it to Li Tianzhuo.
"Master Li, please keep this item safe. When I return to my homeland one day, please deliver it to the grave of its former owner on my behalf."
"This was the thing he loved most in his life. They were not together in this life. I hope they can meet again in the next life and become an ordinary couple, picking chrysanthemums in the southern mountains, raising silkworms and farming."
Isn’t this beautiful expectation the wish of each of them?
General Feng wanted to use this method to force Li Tianzhuo to go back. He didn't believe that Li Tianzhuo was really someone who could abandon his homeland.
He has very good relations with the Deng family and the Han family in Dongji. If Jun Chenyi seizes the throne of Dongji in the future and he is in Nanxin, the two countries in the southeast will be able to have at least a hundred years of peace!
After saying these words, General Feng left the room on his own.
Li Tianzhuo looked at the Yingluo in his hand, his thoughts surging and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Even Deng Youning's arrival was not noticed by him.
"A Zhuo, Senior Feng treasures this necklace very much, how come he gave it to you?" Deng Youning asked suspiciously.
Li Tianzhuo made up a story: "Oh, he knew I was from Nanxin, and he wanted me to have a chance to send him to his old master's grave."
Deng Youning heard this and showed an expression of pity for Li Tianzhuo.
"Then you've probably been cheated!"
"His former master was the late Emperor Nanxin. Common people like us cannot see him."
As she spoke, she did not stop moving the medicine bowl for Li Tianzhuo.
"Ms. Deng is a skilled martial artist. Why don't we break into the Nanxin Imperial Mausoleum?"
Li Tianzhuo teased her mischievously.
Deng Youning glared, as if angry, "Okay, if you want to die, go by yourself, don't drag me along!"
"Take the medicine yourself. I won't take care of it anymore."
She crossed her arms across her chest, looking as if she really didn't care.
Li Tianzhuo hurriedly said to himself, "Stop, Ningning, I'm in pain all over my body and can't get up. You have to feed me medicine!"
He is eight feet tall, and when he acts coquettishly, he is three times more delicate and gentle than a woman.
He stared at Deng Youning aggrievedly, his eyes wet. His pitiful appearance was comparable to that of the young male prostitutes in the Music Bureau.
How could anyone not be confused after seeing this?
Deng Youning naturally couldn't resist, so she was fooled and fed him the medicine.
They stayed in the village for another three or four days, and only returned to the city after Li Tianzhuo had fully recovered.
Before leaving, General Feng walked for half a day on the mountain road to see them off.
Without his martial arts skills and as he got older, even his walking speed slowed down.
Jun Chenyi, Li Tianzhuo, and even Deng Youning insisted that General Feng return to the capital with them and live in their respective mansions.
But this old man is very stubborn!
In the end, Jun Chenyi finally agreed to leave a guard for him to clean the house after much persuasion.
It would make everyone feel more at ease if there was someone around to look after them.
After getting clues about the Qi Yuntai from Li Laosan, they returned to Beijing and conducted their own investigations in their spare time.
Deng Youning went to find Li Qinghuan and asked about the Qi Yuntai.
It was only after Deng Yan'an's identity was restored that she found out that Wuyinglou and Qianji Villa had already been in a cooperative relationship.
The pier where Deng Youning was located was originally the base where the two sects hid in the capital.
But she unexpectedly won the bid.
Her business has always been going smoothly, and she has Wuying Studio and Qianji Villa to support her from behind.
As for the owner of the Qi Yuntai, he is just an ordinary person.
If the Wu family is the mastermind behind this, there will be no evidence in a short period of time.
"Don't think so much. Come on, I'll take you to see someone."
Li Qinghuan stood up and grabbed Deng Youning's wrist.
