When Li Shiyin saw Li Shiwen again, he was drunk and was beaten on the side of the road until he vomited blood.
Li Shiyin was familiar with the "pure passerby" and "Danyang thug" who beat him. They were none other than the other spoiled servants in Danyang City who had a conflict with them.
These servants were just ordinary people. With Li Shiwen's martial arts, he could deal with them by just raising his hands. But he didn't raise his hands. He just hugged his head, curled up on the ground, and let people beat him.
If it weren't for the friendship between the two siblings that spanned more than a decade, Li Shiyin would never have recognized that the man on the ground was her brother...
Her brother was handsome and dignified, one of the most handsome young men in Danyang City. Anyone who saw him would praise him as a "son of a general".
Her brother was a young general, full of vigor and vitality, armed with a silver spear and a white horse. At a young age, he guarded a border for the empire. Any enemy general who met him would say, "What a great Li Shiwen."
It is definitely not the homeless man on the ground, rolling in the mud and snow, unkempt, listless, and drunk.
Li Shiyin beat the servants away with three punches and two kicks, and said ruthlessly: "Go back and tell your master that I, Li Shiyin, am back. Tell them to clean their necks and wait."
Ignoring the strange looks from passers-by, she helped the homeless man Li Shiwen sit on the side of the road, and then sat down on the dirty side of the road.
Looking at the familiar streets of Danyang City, she asked Li Shiwen: "Brother, why are you doing this?"
But in fact, she probably knew why Li Shiwen became like this.
Li Shiwen became what he is now not because he lost his official position, but because the Tiance Army was gone and the border was severely damaged; he took all the evil that the Devouring Demon Willow did on the southwestern border of Northern Chu on himself. And how could he, a small mortal, bear it?
It was also snowing in Danyang City and it was very cold.
Li Shiwen tightened his clothes and huddled up in a shabby manner. He shrank his head and tilted his head to look at Li Shiyin. Recognizing his sister, he smiled and said, "Shiyin is back?"
His face was covered in mud, and his long, messy beard was stained with his own vomited blood. Li Shiyin felt distressed when she saw him like this.
She raised her fist and punched Li Shiwen in the face, leaving a dark blue mark, and cursed: "The Devouring Demon Willow is a level nine demon beast. Do you understand level nine demon beasts? It is a god, a fairy, a demon, a real devil! Not to mention you, even the cultivators of Northern Chu can't beat it. Many Yuanying cultivators have died.
"…I told you to leave before the incident happened, but you refused. Who are you showing this to now? Tell me, are you a slut?!"
Li Shiwen was scolded, and thought of the soldiers who died at the hands of monsters and the civilians who died under the catkins. He was stunned, and then he burst into tears. He did not speak, but just shed tears in confusion and numbness.
A tall and strong man, a young general, could only shed tears helplessly at this moment.
Seeing his expression, Li Shiyin wanted to punch him again, but she raised her hand and still didn't hit him.
She sighed, found the healing medicine in her Qiankun bag and handed it to Li Shiwen. Li Shiwen didn't take it, so she stuffed it into Li Shiwen's mouth.
"Let's go home first." She stood up and reached out to pull Li Shiwen.
When he heard that he had to go home, Li Shiwen hesitated for a moment, but he could not handle Li Shiyin's strength and was forcibly pulled up.
Li Shiwen hunched his back, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, and was dragged by Li Shiyin to the Li Mansion.
Before this year, the Li family had three generals before the death of the old general Li Konghe. In the entire Northern Chu, there were almost no families who could stand on the left side of the Li family. At most, there were two or three families that could stand on equal footing with them. Therefore, the Li family's house was the highest-standard house under the imperial palace, built according to the system of kings and princes.
There are two huge and majestic stone lions in front and a vermilion gate at the back. Going up the stairs, there is a high threshold and a thick plaque with two simple words "Li Mansion" written on it. It is full of majesty and grandeur.
Li Shiyin dragged Li Shiwen up the steps and passed the stone lions. Then a guard came forward and shouted, "This is a military stronghold. No one is allowed to approach!"
In the Li family, someone actually dared to stop her?! Li Shiyin frowned, looked at the man, found something wrong, and asked, "New here?"
The guards before the Li Mansion were veteran soldiers of the Li family army who had retired from the battlefield. They were the confidants of the Li family and had been guarding the gate for the Li family for decades. All four of them were old men, but the man in front of him was actually a young man.
The situation was turbulent at this time. The Li family lost two generals, and the guards of the Li Mansion were suddenly changed at this time... Li Shiyin didn't believe that there was no trick in this.
There were four guards, and the other three were old men. When they heard the noise, they looked over and recognized Li Shiyin and Li Shiwen. They quickly grabbed the new guard and introduced them, "This is the young lady."
"Miss?" Li Shiyin frowned and asked.
The three old guards hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, saying in unison: "Miss!"
Li Shiyin snorted and said, "Go tell my dad that I'm back."
An old guard opened the door, and Li Shiyin dragged Li Shiwen into the mansion through the side door.
Not long after they walked, a woman with gorgeous clothes, graceful appearance and a majestic demeanor came hurriedly towards them. Looking at her face, it was the current mistress of the Li family, Li Shiyin's mother, and the legendary female general Yang Yanqi.
As soon as she saw Yang Yanqi, Li Shiyin left Li Shiwen behind, rushed over, hugged her tightly, and cried, "Mom..."
"Shiyin is back..." Yang Yanqi also had tears in his eyes. He hugged Li Shiyin tightly and kept repeating.
The mother and daughter cried for a long time, expressing their longing for each other. Finally, with tears on her cheeks, Li Shiyin let go of her mother and asked, "Where's Dad?"
Hearing this, Yang Yanqi whispered to Li Shiyin, "Your father is still angry and went to the study room on purpose because he doesn't want to see you."
"Oh..." Li Shiyin wiped the tears from her and her mother's faces and said, "Then I will go find him myself and apologize to him."
"Apologize?" The woman reached out and pinched Li Shiyin's cheek, scolding with a smile, "You little brat!"
After they finished talking, Yang Yanqi looked at Li Shiwen, who was lying on the side. When she saw Li Shiwen's expression, her nose and eyebrows wrinkled, and her face was distressed and angry. She shouted coldly: "You still remember to come back?! Why don't you freeze to death outside?"
Li Shiwen hesitated and didn't say anything.
So Yang Yanqi became even angrier and went forward to drag Li Shiwen into the house.
Li Shiyin looked at them and knew that Li Shiwen must be fine. His mother loved him the most and would never be willing to hit him. She ran to the study to find her father.
She arrived at the study room with ease and pushed the door open without knocking. She saw her father sitting at the table pretending to read a book. When he knew she had come in, he turned a cold face and didn't even look at her.
Li Shiyin's father is called Li Zhan, which is also a name that shows the father's expectations. From the appearance of Li Shiyin and Li Shiwen, we know that Li Zhan must be an extraordinary person. He is now over 50 years old and still looks quite good.
"Dad..." Li Shiyin walked over, stood behind Li Zhan, put her hands on his shoulders, massaged his shoulders, and smiled flatteringly, "I'm back."
Li Zhan didn't even look at her, and snorted coldly: "You still remember to come back?!"
"Why didn't I know to go home? I missed you so much."
"Don't you want to cultivate immortality? Don't you want to cut off all ties of love and loyalty?" Li Zhan said coldly, "Master Immortal, do you still remember me?!"
"Dad!" Li Shiyin said with a smile, "You misunderstood..."
