Lei Yun frowned, "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

"No, my mother is here, I'm going to see her."

She had been guarding the border for many years, but her mother had never visited her or even written her a letter.

My brother, on the other hand, writes to me often.

However, her brother had been ill for many years and was in poor health, which made her very worried, and the two siblings could not see each other.

[The executioner who killed Sister Luo has arrived. It is her, Sister Luo’s adoptive mother, a bad woman with a lot of bad intentions]

[The evil foster mother is going to arrange a ghost marriage for Sister Luo]

Ghost...ghost marriage?

Lei Yun's face suddenly darkened.

Only the dead can be arranged in ghost marriage.

Luo Li was alive and well, could it be that her adoptive mother killed her in order to arrange a ghost marriage for her?

Emperor Zian couldn't drink the water in his cup.

Lei Yun suppressed a great deal of anger in his chest, "Luo Li, I'll go with you."

Luo Li was stunned, then chuckled, "That... no need, I can do it myself."

She was worried that her daughter's identity would be exposed in front of Lei Yun.

"It's not safe here. I'll go with you." Lei Yun frowned, looking serious.

"Brother Lei is a great general, and so am I. No bandit can survive more than three moves from me. Besides, I'm going to see my mother, so don't worry about me."

Luo Li said so, and Lei Yun didn't say anything more.

Luo left the grove outside the village, which was a wild forest.

When you come to the suburbs, you can hear the constant chirping of insects.

"Ali." A person wearing a black cloak, almost blending into the night, spoke quietly. This person was Luo Li's adoptive mother.

"Mother." Luo Li stood there and saw his mother through the sparse moonlight.

Luo Musheng had a pretty face and outstanding temperament, and she was truly the lady of a wealthy family.

She wanted to move forward, but her feet did not move.

Growing up, her mother disliked her. She knew the reason, because she was a daughter and when she grew up, she would have to marry and obey her husband, and would not be able to bring honor to the family.

Although she worked very hard in everything she learned and did since she was a child, she still could not get any tenderness from her mother.

On the contrary, he became more harsh on her.

It would be a lie to say that she had no resentment in her heart. She also wanted to be like other women, to be able to hug her mother and talk to her mother when she had something on her mind.

Only her brother took care of her and comforted her when she was in trouble, sad and in a bad mood.

But my brother...

"Ali, what are you doing standing there? Come over here."

Luo Li stepped forward, "Mother..."

"Pah"

The crisp sound of slapping rang out in the silent night, and one side of Luo Li's cheek swelled up.

Di Zian and Lei Yun, who were hiding in the dark, were almost angry to death.

Luo Li was beaten.

The mother and daughter were separated for a year. The mother came from afar to see her daughter, but it was not because she missed her daughter, but because she wanted to slap her from afar?

Is this old woman sick?

Emperor Zi'an was already angry, let alone Lei Yun. He clenched his fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

[Is it too much? ]

Po, who was sitting on the ground looking for ants to play with, complained in his heart.

Emperor Zi'an: Nothing could be more excessive than this.

Lei Yun: This is the first time I have wanted to hit a woman! Can I rush out?

[It's even worse than this. Hey, I didn't allow you two to come, but you two insisted on following me secretly. I'm afraid you two will be so angry that you will vomit blood later.]

[If this person meets a perfect family member, and if he cannot be his own salvation, then his life will really be over.]

"Kneel down!" Luo's mother said coldly.

Luo Li stood up straight.

Luo's mother's eyes seemed to be filled with poison. "Ah Li, you have been an official for a few years, and you don't even listen to your mother?"

Luo Li took a deep breath and knelt on the ground.

I don't know if this place was chosen intentionally by Luo's mother, but the ground was covered with thorns. When I knelt down, the thorns pierced my knees.

Luo Li's face turned pale in pain.

"Do you know why your mother traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to the border to look for you?"

"I don't know."

"Your brother is dead."

Luo Li raised his head with a jerk, "You said...what? No way! Impossible! My brother wrote me a letter a few days ago, saying that his health is much better than last year, and he can wait until I come home to see him. He also bought me the food I like..."

But now someone comes to tell her that her brother, her lifelong belief and the only person who has ever given her warmth, is dead?

Even though Luo Li was strong inside, he couldn't bear it.

"He is my son, my most beloved son. Do you think I would joke about this?"

"No! I want to go home, I want to see my brother, I..."

"Are you worthy? You killed my son! You killed your brother! How dare you go back to see him?"

Luo Li's face turned pale, tears streaming down his face, "I didn't, it wasn't me, it wasn't..."

She doesn't even know how her brother died.

"A-Li, you haven't made any meritorious service in a year. You haven't received any reward from the emperor. Do you know what this means? It means that no one will support your brother. I've told you a long time ago that a master has said that your brother's fate is different from others. He needs meritorious service and reward to live long.

But look at what you have done recently?

Even if you rise from a nobody to a general in just a few years, what good is that! You should have achievements every year, but you have put down the war. Don't think I don't know that you have secretly become close friends with Lei Yun of the Tiansheng Dynasty.

Isn't it ridiculous? They were rivals, but they became close friends. You don't plan to make contributions when the two countries go to war in the future! It was you who gave up your brother. Tell me, was his death caused by you?"

"That's not the case. Turkey has already been annexed by the Shuntian Holy Dynasty. The two countries cannot go to war at will. It will be the common people who suffer."

"Don't use surrender as an excuse. Before you surrendered, weren't you on good terms with Lei Yun? As a general, it's your duty to fight. I don't know whether the people are suffering or not. I only know that you have no military achievements and your brother is dead.

Luo Li, ah Luo Li, when the imperial court asked your brother to join the army, it was you who told me that you wanted to join the army in his place and that you would bring supreme glory to the Luo family in your brother's name. But you ended up making friends with the enemy general!

Luo Li, I only want achievements! I only want glory! Only they can save your brother. It is you who killed my son!"

Luo Li sat paralyzed on the ground, surrounded by thorns.

The pain in the body cannot compare to the pain in the heart.

"Luo Li, please atone for your brother's sin. You didn't help your brother when he was alive. Now that he's dead, maybe you can."

"What's the meaning?"

Luo's mother's eyes flashed with viciousness, "Arrange a ghost marriage."

Luo Li felt his scalp tingling, "Ask me to find someone to arrange a ghost marriage for my brother?"

"No, I want you to arrange a ghost marriage for your brother."

Luo Li's eyes widened instantly, "What...what? How can you do that? He is my brother."
