Hua Li's eyes darkened slightly, and he calmly changed the subject: "I don't know whether you have met the emperor, but I am sure that the emperor has seen you. Today, the emperor showed me a painting, and the person in the painting looks exactly like you. I want to save your life, so I have to send you to the palace."
Su Yang couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Haha, not only did you save my life, but you also indirectly please the emperor. It's really the best of both worlds. What a good plan, Captain."
Hua Li smiled modestly and said, "Miss Xueyang, you are too kind."
The tone changed, and Hua Li said seriously: "Let's go, I will take you to the palace."
Su Yang's face froze. "It's such a short distance, I won't bother you, Lord Commander, to personally see me off."
"It's okay. I'm just about to go to the palace to report." Hua Li said calmly.
Su Yang was speechless and choked up. He glanced at Hua Li unhappily and said, "Whatever you say."
Su Yang strode in front, and Hua Li followed closely behind. Su Yang looked around calmly, wanting to find an opportunity to escape, but Hua Li's indifferent words discouraged him from escaping.
"If you run away and the emperor gets angry, General Xu and others will be in trouble." Hua Li said.
Su Yang gritted his teeth secretly, and uttered a few words from between his teeth: "Hua Li, you are so cruel!"
Hua Li smiled nonchalantly and shook his head, saying, "You're not ruthless enough."
That night.
The crescent moon is shining high in the sky. Under the hazy moonlight, there is a quiet and peaceful village surrounded by forests. The village is surrounded by mountains and forests. Some houses are even built halfway up the mountain. Every household has dim candlelight. Because each household is far apart, it looks sparse.
Suddenly, a childish voice rang out: "Mom! He's not dead! He's awake! He's awake!!"
The child's voice sounded a little surprised and happy. The sound spread across the mountains and forests, echoing in waves.
In an instant, almost all the families in the village extinguished their candles and hurriedly walked towards one of the houses that had still kept its light on under the moonlight. Soon, the house was crowded with people inside and outside, all of whom were talking loudly about something, and all of them looked curious and eager to watch the fun.
A little boy, about seven or eight years old, dressed in coarse linen, his clean face etched with displeasure, pouted and pushed the people blocking the doorway, shouting, "Get out! All of you get out! You're making too much noise! My mom said Dad and that older brother need some quiet time, and you're disturbing their rest."
When the adults heard this, they immediately became unhappy. An older woman with a scarf wrapped around her head and wearing an embroidered long dress picked up the little boy and said with a chuckle, "Momo, you're louder than any of us. You should be the one making the noise."
When the little boy heard this, he frowned in confusion. His voice was indeed too loud, but if his voice wasn't louder, he was afraid that no one would have heard him since it was so noisy just now.
Just then, a woman walked out from the inner room. Although she was thin, she had everything she needed and nothing she didn't need, and her figure was very good.
Even her washed-out gray cloth dress couldn't hide her good figure. Her long hair was tied up with a long cloth towel, and the two ends of the cloth were tied in a knot above her forehead. A smooth wooden hairpin was inserted in her hair. Her skin was yellowish, and her facial features were quite delicate. She had a kind of enchanting beauty, but the premise was to ignore the scars on both sides of her cheeks and the yellow skin color.
