Chapter 89 Li Sui returns home? Mutiny in Luo City?
In the forest, everyone looked at Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan with smiles but no words.
Qin Yuqing looked at someone who had done something bad but remained calm and complained silently in her heart.
Is this what modern girlfriends call OOC? No! How did Lu Jingchuan manage to be expressionless and yet so alluring?
Afterwards, Qin Yuqing returned her gaze to Li Sui lying on the ground, recalling what Li Sui had said. She remembered that in the original book, Lord Li had been honest throughout his life, and even when he had to eat only coarse grains of rice and vegetables every day, he had never exploited the common people.
But after all, the time and space are different now, and many people have changed from the plot and space of the original book, and even have undergone earth-shaking changes in their personalities.
Therefore, it is possible that Lord Li is no longer a wise minister.
"Then do you know what characteristics all pigeon breeders have?" Qin Yuqing continued to ask. If one were to go by Li Sui's words, there was a high possibility that pigeon breeders were also dead.
Li Sui looked up at the sky and watched the birds flying freely in the sky. His sister's figure appeared in front of him. He smiled happily and said to Qin Yuqing.
"I always saw pigeon breeders in the dark, but what I can confirm is that they have black lines on their faces, arms and skin."
Li Sui recalled the pigeon breeders he had seen before. All the pigeon breeders in front of them wrapped themselves tightly, even wearing special masks, and even their pupils could not be seen.
"Normally, pigeon breeders cover themselves completely. I accidentally stumbled into a pigeon breeder's yard and saw him washing himself. That's when I noticed something strange about his body."
After hearing this, Qin Yuqing was certain that these pigeon breeders were related to Yu Bingyan, but she didn't know whether Yu Bingyan was the boss of the pigeon breeders.
Qin Yuqing's inclination is not that.
It’s not that I think Yu Bingyan wouldn’t do such a thing, but I think he would choose to control, but would not use black water to feed people.
This is inconsistent with his style of doing things. Just like in the time and space of the original book, after Yu Bingyan used black water to control everyone, he directly destroyed this time and space, and would not carry out a series of actions such as dormancy and nurturing.
"One last question." Qin Yuqing looked at Li Sui, who was stretching his hand towards the distance. "Have you ever killed an innocent person?"
Li Sui smiled miserably. He looked at his hands with a look of calm despair, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.
If nothing had happened, if his home hadn't been destroyed, his life might still be hard, but he has a happy family, parents who love him, and a sister who sweetly calls him brother.
His memory was filled with long passages of murder. When the pigeons landed, he was like a killing tool, killing one person after another without any emotion.
After all, he was no longer a country boy from Bizhou in the western part of Dayin.
In the end, he became a murder tool.
Li Sui stood up and saluted Qin Yuqing, his tone full of pain and guilt. The ginseng fell to the ground and his figure swayed.
"Thank you, Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, for your grace." Li Sui looked up at the sky again. This time, in addition to his sister, he also saw his father and mother. They were all smiling and waving at him.
"I, Li Sui, have blood on my hands. I know I have sinned deeply. Thank you, Princess, for your kindness and for freeing me." After saying this, Li Sui fell straight back, blood oozing from his ears, nose, and mouth. "I, this humble servant, deserve death!"
Lu Jingchuan reached out and gently patted Qin Yuqing's back. Chuntao hugged Xiaolu, who was crying with her face covered. Pu Qinghe and Lu Jiu turned away with reluctance.
Li Sui stretched out his hand. After many years, he held his sister's hand again. His father smiled and pulled him up. His mother kindly patted the dust off Li Sui's body.
"Daddy, Mommy, every year, I am unfilial. It is me who is unfilial."
My parents and sister all smiled and shook their heads, their eyes filled with pity and love: "It's not your fault. We all know that you were forced into it. Let's go, we'll take you home."
In the forest, Li Sui slowly closed his eyes with a happy smile on his lips. His voice was so soft that it seemed as if it could be blown away by the wind.
But his voice was very heavy and fell on everyone's heart.
"Sui Sui, I'm finally home."
"Sui Sui is no longer a bad guy."
"Sui Sui, next year I will be an honest official."
No one spoke another word, everyone's eyes were red, and Xiaolu couldn't hold it in any longer. When he heard the word "go home", he fell directly into Chuntao's arms and burst into tears.
She also had no home, but she was luckier than Li Sui. She had a brother, met a particularly good master, and met a group of people who would pamper her.
Pu Qinghe and Lu Jiu looked at each other, walked forward silently, and collected Li Sui's body.
Qin Yuqing thought about Li Sui's words over and over again. Li Sui's death was regrettable, but the blood on his hands was also an unfair fact, regardless of whether it was voluntary or not.
What about the innocent people he killed?
"Power, money, and life." Qin Yuqing looked at Li Sui's body which was gradually being cremated. Due to the technical reasons of that era, people could not be completely cremated into ashes.
"Are these really that important?"
Lu Jingchuan sighed slightly. He squatted down with Qin Yuqing, took out a small jar and handed it to Qin Yuqing, and together they collected Li Sui's ashes.
"Perhaps, this is what people desire." Lu Jingchuan put the last bit of ashes in. Looking at Qin Yuqing's red eyes, he knew she was sad.
Qin Yuqing held the jar in her hand, which seemed light yet weighed a thousand pounds.
"When we get to Bizhou, Li Sui, even if you can go home, please remember that your hands are still stained with the blood of innocent people."
A gust of wind blew by, just like Li Sui's response to Qin Yuqing's words. He knew that he deserved to die, and that his death could not change those who died in vain.
He is willing to spend the next life and the next life to atone for his sins, but he also hopes, even if there is only a tiny chance, that he can become his parents' child again and a good brother to his sister.
Even if life is hard, that's okay.
"Let's go." Qin Yuqing handed the ashes to Chuntao and said in the direction of Luocheng, "Luocheng Prefect, it's time for us to settle the affairs of Cangzhou, Lingjun, and Yanyun City."
At the same time, someone in the capital secretly asked for permission to leave the capital.
Without the obstruction of the refugees, Qin Yuqing quickly arrived at the gate of Luo City. Before coming, she asked the secret guards to report the matter of the refugees to the emperor.
She did not choose to cover up the facts. Judging from the current situation, her cheap father must stand on the same side with her.
"Who are you?" The soldier stopped the carriage. "No one is allowed to enter without the jade pass."
Qin Yuqing leaned lazily in Lu Jingchuan's arms, without saying a word, but just signaled Chuntao with her eyes.
Chun Tao nodded. She lowered the carriage curtain, pulled out the imperial edict from her bosom, and said, "The Sixth Princess is returning to the capital from the south. Does anyone have any questions?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the carriage, and many people began to whisper.
"Is this the Sixth Princess's carriage?"
"The floods in Ling County and Cangzhou were resolved by the Sixth Princess."
"It's the Sixth Princess, the Sixth Princess who is the incarnation of the Bodhisattva."
The soldier looked hesitantly at the people sitting not far away eating meat and drinking. Seeing that the other side still did not take any action, he became confident and said.
"Anyone can claim to be the Sixth Princess, but forging an imperial edict is a capital offense."
Qin Yuqing raised her eyes, her lips curled up in amusement. Was the prefect of Luo City no longer pretending? Or was it someone in the city who emboldened him to openly tear his face apart?
Speaking of which, the prefect's surname is Shen, and I don't know what his relationship is with Shen Yanqing's Shen family.
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel when you see the imperial edict! Could it be that you in Luocheng have the intention of rebellion?" Chuntao came from the palace after all, and she immediately thought the same thing as Qin Yuqing.
In this case, the momentum cannot be weak.
The man who was drinking and eating meat suddenly overturned the table and threw the wine jug in his hand towards Chuntao.
The next moment, an arrow shot out from the carriage, pierced through the wine jug, and landed on the overturned table.
"Why? Is this how Luo Cheng treats people? This really opens my eyes." Qin Yuqing's voice was filled with laughter, but it made people tremble all over.
"It seems that the Luocheng prefect intends to establish himself as king. If that's the case, there's no reason for this princess not to reclaim the city."
Qin Yuqing blinked at Lu Jingchuan, and when he nodded at her, she said.
"Lu Jiu has arrived."
Lu Jiu did not follow them, but went to the other side. The soldiers from Cangzhou and Lingjun were waiting not far away.
"Come here." As soon as Qin Yuqing finished speaking, a large number of people and horses galloped over from not far away. Lu Jingchuan opened the curtain of the carriage for Qin Yuqing. Qin Yuqing held his chin with one hand and looked at the man who was drinking and eating meat.
"You said that this princess's team is more than enough to take over your Luocheng, right?"
"You are raising soldiers privately! Your intention to rebel is obvious. Today we will defend the Great Yin with our lives!" The man took out the military token and said loudly.
Qin Yuqing looked at the word "Luo" engraved on the military token, and thought that this person was General Song who was in charge of the troops in Luocheng. Since Luocheng was a granary, his stepfather sent troops to garrison there, and the original purpose was to defend Luocheng.
But now I think that people's hearts will change.
"Oh? Then this princess is really scared." Having said that, Qin Yuqing casually looked at the Luocheng soldiers who had drawn their weapons, and the people who were hiding nearby without knowing the situation.
"General Song, this princess will give you one last chance. I'm going south back to the capital and will pass through Luo City. Please don't be tactless."
General Song spat hard on the ground and looked excitedly at the large group of people standing behind Qin Yuqing. His eyes were full of a smile of confidence in victory.
Unexpectedly, the legendary Sixth Princess was just like this, and she dared to trespass into Luo City with her troops.
"For the safety of Great Yin, Luocheng cannot fall into the hands of such villains!" General Song drew out his sword, pointed it at Qin Yuqing, and said sternly.
"Everything we do is for the Great Yin."
"Good! You're bold." Qin Yuqing applauded, raised his longbow, aimed it at General Song, and said with a smile, "You all say I'm a demon, so let me prove I'm a demon today, okay?"
Just as Qin Yuqing was about to shoot the arrow, a gentle and familiar voice sounded not far away.
"Wait! Sixth Princess, calm down. This is all a misunderstanding!"
"Aruan, stop messing around and put down the longbow." Another voice sounded mature.
Qin Yuqing put down her sword with a lack of interest, but when she saw the two people coming, she nodded to Lu Jingchuan, and Lu Jingchuan helped her get off the carriage.
"What brings you two here? Or are you also planning to capture this demonic Taoist like me?"
