Chapter 338 Carry the horse and run!
(Thanks to reader 20190311233500118 for casting 8 monthly tickets.)
You can't talk to a man who only cares about interests, is selfish and only thinks about himself.
He'd probably ask you, "How much does conscience cost per pound?"
Even if this person is your blood relative, so what?
Don't have a biased view of men just because of blood ties!
Even if this person is your biological father!
Women in this world should understand early on that if you are not the most precious treasure in the hearts of your parents and loved ones, you should accept that early on!
Instead of yearning for that unattainable parental love that you can never receive in your lifetime!
If Li Shiyue were Yan Jiuniang, when the Prince of Zhenbei first disregarded Yan Jiuniang's wishes and arranged her marriage to the Sun family of Guanlong;
Li Shiyue had already planned to run away!
Just like how Li Shiyue treated her father on the road to escape famine, she should have just run away with her mother.
What's the point of having a father like Li's?
Forget about father-daughter affection, they're probably going to get themselves killed!
Even if it wasn't because of the system, even if Li's mother didn't take the initiative to propose a divorce, even if Li Shiyue had the original owner's feelings, what if Li's father was going to force her to marry?
Unlike Yan Jiuniang, who still harbored expectations for Li's father, she did not.
She instructed him to humbly agree to Li's father's words in person, and to continue speaking in accordance with Li's father's words;
"Father, you're right!"
When I get married, I will definitely think about my family!
Only when my father has a younger brother will I have someone to support me!
When I get money in the future, I will definitely bring it back to my father so that he can save it and use it to have and raise my younger brother!
We're family!
Turn around?
In the blink of an eye, Li Shiyue could grab his father's silver, and when no one was watching, he would carry the horse and run away!
Running non-stop!
Run as far as you can!
As for Yan Jiuniang, if she was prepared, she could outwardly feign compliance with the Prince of Zhenbei while secretly having someone take her uncle's family away from Andong. How could that not be possible?
Furthermore, Yan Jiuniang was ultimately constrained by the times, and it was difficult for the idea of "anti-patriarchy" to even cross her mind.
Before Li Shiyue said to Yan Jiuniang, "Kill him! Once he's dead, you'll be free!" Yan Jiuniang had never even considered that she could "defy her superior" by committing "patricide" to resolve the situation where the Prince of Zhenbei had disregarded her wishes and arranged a marriage for her.
All Yan Jiuniang could think of was—"Escape!"
In this respect, Liu Tan was more rational than Yan Jiuniang.
It's important to know that although it was Yan Xuefei who suggested poisoning the Prince of Zhenbei, the people who secretly helped Yan Xuefei and her group were all Liu Tan's subordinates!
In this respect, Liu Tan, as the eldest son of the Prince of Zhenbei born out of wedlock, was truly far more capable than his mother, Yan Jiuniang.
However, Yan Jiuniang and Liu Tan have a brother-sister relationship, and on this basis, Yan Jiuniang also has the ability to manage money.
So, for Liu Tan, which is better, being the Grand General of Andong or being the Lord of Andong?
Moreover, if Liu Shu comes to power in the future, will Liu Tan, the general of the Xuanjia Army, still be the general?
Actually, Liu Tan had no choice.
The strange thing is that his mother's father was once the governor of Andong, the strange thing is that he studied hard from a young age and acquired a lot of skills, the strange thing is that he participated in hundreds of battles and always fought bravely at the forefront!
Do you think the Prince of Zhenbei was truly happy to let Liu Tan, his eldest son born out of wedlock, become the Grand General?
Hehe, it's just that we can't erase Liu Tan's contributions on the battlefield.
So, now that things have come to this, Liu Tan can bow his head to the Prince of Zhenbei, who is, after all, his father, a prince.
Could he be made to bow to Liu Shu?
Okay, even if he really did bow down to Liu Shu;
So, will Liu Shu really let the Xuanjia Army, led by him, go?
Will they let him continue to be his great general?
Will it?
Of course not!
Therefore, all the generals and officers following Liu Tan would force him to compete with Liu Shu for the position of the next ruler of Andong—the Prince of Zhenbei!
Therefore, Liu Tan's willingness to help Yan Jiuniang and Li Shiyue's willingness to help Jiuniang are all because the three of them have their own needs and are part of a chain of interests.
Of course, there are feelings involved, and feelings are indeed the foundation, but if there were no benefits, why would Li Shiyue take such a big risk to do these things?
The only people who could make her disregard her own interests and do something so dangerous are most likely Li's mother, Shi Tou, Zheng Meiniang, Li Qiutian, and Li Xiatian.
At this moment, Li Shiyue gave Li Mingfeng's wounds a simple bandage, at least stopping the bleeding and temporarily saving Li Mingfeng's life.
After telling Li Mingfeng to "wait a moment," Li Shiyue stood up and walked into the woods behind her.
She swung her knife at one of the trees, bent down to pick up a fallen branch, and with a few quick strokes, whittled it into a smooth, long stick.
This was prepared for Li Mingfeng.
He injured both of his lower legs, with the left leg being more serious and the right leg less so;
With this stick, Li Mingfeng could at least get some leverage and walk on his own when Li Shiyue couldn't help him.
Furthermore, taking advantage of the fact that Li Shiyue had her back to Li Mingfeng at this moment, she quickly took out another beauty pill that she had prepared beforehand and put it into her mouth.
Turning around, Li Shiyue squatted down and said to Li Mingfeng, "Daoist, I hear they are not far from us."
I couldn't keep holding the Taoist priest by the collar. In this emergency, our priority was to escape!
As she was saying this, Li Shiyue reached out and grabbed Li Mingfeng's right arm, and with a little effort, she hoisted Li Mingfeng onto her back.
As she stood up, Li Shiyue also picked up the long wooden stick she had whittled that she had previously placed on the ground.
She raised the stick upwards, saying, "Taoist Master, take this. If I run out of strength later, you'll have to walk on your own."
Li Mingfeng reached out his right hand and took the long wooden stick. "Madam Li, if... just leave me behind!"
Li Shiyue did not respond to Li Mingfeng's words. Instead, he reached out and bounced Li Mingfeng on his back, unleashed his full inner strength, and ran in a direction he had already chosen.
However, because Li Mingfeng was much taller than Li Shiyue, the way Li Shiyue carried Li Mingfeng on his back looked quite comical from behind.
Li Mingfeng's long legs almost dragged on the ground, and Li Shiyue was quite thin. Looking at him like this, Li Mingfeng seemed to be able to fly like a ghost, darting away a long distance in a flash.
Meanwhile, Qiu Yingxian had already sent Lao Gou, along with Xi Gou who hadn't been drugged, to chase after Li Shiyue and Li Mingfeng in the direction they had fled.
This time, Qiu Yingxian ordered everyone to go up the mountain.
The main reason is that Li Shiyue's previous performance was truly impressive.
The old dog followed another group of greyhounds up the mountain. The pack of dogs merely sniffed the spot where they had fought with Li Shiyue before barking in one direction.
"That's it!"
Brothers, let's go! We can't let them get away!
