Chapter 174: Those around you have already joined the game
The two came to Li Tianzhuo's villa.
King Yi looked around and found the man very familiar.
"If I haven't seen it, your manor is not as big as the one in Yuncheng!"
"Since you left, Father has been going there several times a year."
"I go there often, but unfortunately, I never see you come back."
He sighed to himself.
Li Tianzhuo smiled sarcastically when he heard these words.
"Don't you see me coming back?"
"Back then, someone was able to find someone to cripple my martial arts. If I go back now, do you think he will kill me directly?"
"What's more, all my attachments now lie here!"
At this point, King Yi himself also saw the difference between his current villa and the one in Yuncheng.
The yard is full of flowers. It is the early spring and these flowers are in bud, waiting to bloom.
There is also a swing decorated with velvet flowers under the sturdy Albizia tree, which is obviously something that women like.
"I guess the person you are nostalgic for is the Princess Youning of the Zhenguo Mansion, right?"
"It's really for her that I'm willing to surrender to the enemy!"
"If the war between the two Southeast countries breaks out again, who will you help?"
Li Tianzhuo had already thought about this question. He sneered, "I will never let the two countries go to war again!"
At the very least, he can ensure that the war in Dongji will not break out.
Hearing what he said, King Yi shook his head and laughed contemptuously.
How shameless and overconfident!
After not seeing him for five years, he thought that his sixth brother had changed, but after hearing what he said today, he realized that the Prince of Changle was still as unruly and arrogant as ever.
"Since you still refuse to acknowledge your identity as the Sixth Prince of Nanxin, I will not bury the ashes of this general for you."
"Tonight, let's pretend that I have never met."
King Yi would not, nor would he bother to, reveal his whereabouts to Nan Xin.
Although he was reluctant to leave his younger brother, he sincerely hoped that he could stay in Dongji forever and live a free and easy life like this.
Also, don't come back and compete with me for the throne!
That position is not suitable for him!
"I wish you could do what you said, I've never seen it before!"
Li Tianzhuo raised his eyebrows and smiled, holding up the teacup in his hand, as if he wanted to offer tea instead of wine, and toasted Yi Wang.
"Sixth brother, the capital has been in turmoil recently. I'm afraid that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."
"This game has been predetermined. Those around you have already joined the game. Can you just leave them alone? Not join the game?"
King Yi did not drink the tea. His pupils were dark and deep.
After leaving these words, he turned and left.
Li Tianzhuo looked at the cup in his hand with amusement, and seemed to be thinking about what he had just said.
It seems that the war between the two southeast countries will break out soon!
The New Year has just passed, but the festive and lively atmosphere in the streets and alleys of the capital has not yet faded.
Even though it was already midnight, there were still many children playing happily outside the door.
It took Deng Xuelian fifteen full days to find her way back to the capital from the location of the Wu family's ancestral tomb.
In order to avoid being recognized by the soldiers guarding the city, she deliberately climbed over the mountain behind the Fahua Temple.
With disheveled hair and tattered clothes, she appeared on the bustling streets of the capital city, leaning on a thick branch she picked up from the mountain. She looked extremely out of place with the surrounding scenery.
A pair of eyes filled with fatigue revealed an unconcealable worry and panic.
She tightened the cloak made of a torn sack around her and suddenly regretted coming back here.
Now she should go to the countryside far away from the capital.
Is she, who is so miserable and poor, worthy of the prosperity and nobility of the capital?
However, she was too hungry and cold to think about these things.
She had to go begging as soon as possible, asking kind people to give her some food.
In the more than ten days she spent walking all the way from the Wu family's ancestral tomb, all the jewelry she brought with her had already been spent.
These unruly people are too much. The item is clearly worth a few cents, but they insist on taking a whole gold hairpin from her. If she doesn't give them the hairpin, they won't even sell the item to her!
She was vindictive and remembered those people deeply.
If she could ever become a noble lady in the capital again in the future, she would make those people suffer!
"Master, Madam, please give me something to eat. I haven't had a good meal for more than ten days."
Although she was covered in dust, her eyes were still bright.
The word "pitiful and pitiful" is used to its fullest extent.
The two pairs of white arms were covered with scars from the torture they had suffered from the Queen and her companions, and they looked horrible.
The old lady running the steamed bun stall nearby saw this and, probably because she thought the girl was about the same age as her daughter, she couldn't bear to see her so miserable, so she gave her a steamed bun that she had left over from selling during the day.
Before the steamed bun fell into Deng Xuelian's hands, the little beggar squatting not far away ran over like a gust of wind and took the steamed bun.
Deng Xuelian really didn't have the energy to get the steamed buns back.
She looked at the old lady with her pitiful puppy eyes, trying to get her to give her another one.
However, the old lady shook her head helplessly, indicating that she only had that one left.
She lowered her head in disappointment, covering her hungry stomach. Fortunately, the water in the palace's pool was cool enough that day, allowing her to abort the baby.
Otherwise, one person would be guilty of two crimes!
The night was growing darker.
The weather is getting colder.
Everyone on the street went back to their homes, but Deng Xuelian, who had nowhere to go, curled up on the ground like a stray dog.
She hugged her arms tightly. If she didn't eat something, she would definitely freeze to death after tonight!
She got up with difficulty and wanted to go to a crowded place to continue begging.
As soon as she walked out of the alley, the pain from frostbite on her ankles made her fall to the ground.
I tried to get up again, but I had no strength left.
“Oh—”
Si Wang, who had just come out of Li Tianzhuo Villa, happened to pass by this alley.
The guard driving the carriage saw a person lying in the middle of the road, but he didn't dare to run over him.
"Master, there seems to be a beggar ahead, fainted on the side of the road."
King Yi was kind-hearted and could not bear to see people suffer, no matter which country they were from.
"Go check if he's dead or not. If he's dead, find a place to bury him."
He sighed and thought of it as accumulating good karma for his brothers and father.
As the guard walked over, Deng Xuelian, who heard their conversation between master and servant, hugged his calf.
"My dear, save me——"
"I was originally a good girl, but was kidnapped by human traffickers and tortured to this point. I finally managed to escape from the wolf's den."
"If you can save my life, I will be willing to work like a cow or a horse, and repay you with a gift of grass and a ring!"
"But if it is inconvenient for you, Xue Lian cannot cause any trouble for you..."
Her clothes were thin and disheveled, the chilblains on her ankles were horrifying, her face was pale and colorless, and she looked so fragile, broken and desolate.
Her slightly raised face was slightly wet, as if tears had just flowed from the corners of her eyes.
That tear fell into King Yi's heart.
Even though she has fallen into such a state, from what she said, one can tell that she is a woman of character.
King Yi seemed to have never seen such a tenacious woman. He was moved by her words and got out of the car himself and took her away.
Deng Xuelian leaned in King Yi's arms with a smug smile on her face.
It turns out that Deng Xuelian is destined to be a noble lady!
Judging from the way this gentleman is dressed, he must be of extraordinary status.
But the workmanship and style do not seem to be from Dongji. If he is from the other three countries, and he can return to his country with him and leave Dongji, perhaps he can also be reborn.
She must seize this opportunity that comes to her door!
