Chapter 127 Why did you involve me in your business between the two brothers?
(Thanks to zggdzjlhlzxy for casting a monthly vote.)
However, no matter how many conflicts existed within the clan, on the third day, when Liu Tan was about to leave Liujiatun with the Xuanjia Army, the dozen or so mixed-race children who looked like little wolf cubs, and the Han women who had been taken back by the barbarians, all the prominent people in Liujiatun came out together in a peaceful manner.
Oh, and there's also Liu Shu. His dizziness has almost completely subsided. This time, Zhao Da Huzi also brought his men to pick up Liu Shu and take him back to the Prince's Mansion.
Li Shiyue was standing at the front, talking to Liu Tan.
"...In that case, we will once again benefit from the eldest young master's favor and follow behind to Sanshan County to bring back the bodies of our family members."
We haven't yet had the chance to thank the eldest son and the Xuanjia Army in person for their protection of us.
Li Shiyue bowed deeply to Liu Tan, and after standing up, she bowed again to the soldiers behind Liu Tan.
Li Youfu and the others behind her bowed in greeting, and Li Shiyang did the same.
Liu Tan was somewhat surprised, but not entirely.
Having spent these days together, he had come to understand Li Shiyue's temperament. He was truly a straightforward person who repaid kindness with gratitude and avenged wrongs with vengeance, and was very quick to settle scores!
"No wonder Jiu Niang could talk to her."
As Liu Tan thought this to himself, he raised his hand to help Li Shiyue up and spoke to the people of Liujiatun behind Li Shiyue: "As members of the Xuanjia Army, we have a duty to protect the villagers. You don't need to do this!"
Besides, we weren't able to help when the barbarians entered the village that time, but you guys contributed a lot to this sneak attack on the barbarians.
From now on, just live a good life in this village.
As Liu Tan was saying these words, he was unaware that Liu Shu, who was peeking out of the carriage curtain not far behind him, was secretly watching this scene.
Unbeknownst to Liu Shu, among the people of Lijia Village, Li Chunli was hiding in the crowd, looking around desperately to find Liu Shu.
Standing on tiptoe, Li Chunli finally spotted the magnificent carriage in the distance. She knew that Liu Shu must be inside that carriage.
In fact, Liu Shu's stay at Qin Tao's house to recuperate had already brought considerable benefits to Qin Tao's family.
Not to mention the clothes and bedding sent over for Liu Shu to use, the pots, pans, rice, and flour were enough for Qin Tao to scoop into her own pot every day.
Not to mention, Liu Tan did give money, and not just once. Before leaving, he gave her another considerable sum of money.
but!
Yes, but these benefits seem insignificant given Liu Shuzhen's status as the heir apparent to the Northern King.
In just a few days, without Qin Tao saying a word, Li Chunli had already fallen in love with Liu Shu, a noble young man from a prestigious family with an outstanding temperament and a good nature.
After the snow stopped yesterday, Liu Tan said that if it didn't snow the next day, they would return to Sanshan County.
When Li Chunli received the news, she felt very uneasy.
She knew that once Liu Shu went back, she would never have another chance to see him again.
After all, she was just a village girl from Liujiatun, while Liu Shu was the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei! He was destined to be the Prince of Zhenbei's woman!
Therefore, Li Chunli did not sleep at all that night, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She even bit the corner of the quilt and cried for half the night.
When Qin Tao saw Li Chunli's swollen eyes, which looked like walnuts, when she woke up that morning, she felt extremely distressed.
"Sister Li, what's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing Qin Tao's concerned question, Li Chunli let out a cry and hugged Qin Tao's waist, bursting into tears.
But what could Qin Tao do?
If she had a way, she wouldn't insist on having Li Chunli deliver food to Liu Shu every day. She just wanted Li Chunli to show off in front of Liu Shu more.
If it were a dignified and polite family, they would have had a man or an older woman deliver food to Liu Shu's room, instead of sending a young girl like Li Chunli, who is about to be married, to do it.
But then, Liu Shu was about to leave, so what could Li Chunli do?
As for Li Shiyue, whether it's Liu Shu, the male protagonist of the original book, or Li Chunli, the female protagonist, it's none of her business. It has nothing to do with her life. At least, Li Shiyue doesn't want to get involved with either of them.
Li Shiyue still led the people of Liujiatun and followed behind the Xuanjia Army, intending to go to the mortuary outside Sanshan County to bring back the bodies of his family members so that they could be properly buried in the winter.
Yesterday, Li Shiyang came to our door again to say this, asking Li Shiyue to bring people to Sanshan County.
Li Shiyang also told Li Shiyue that it was Li Youfu who called him over.
“Grandpa said that since you said you were willing to go, then he would ask you to make this trip again.”
Li Shiyue naturally agreed. After all, the world is vast, but the dead are the most important. She didn't want to let a little unpleasantness cause her to be at odds with Li Youfu and the others.
Even with the support of Li Wangshui and the others, Li Shiyue did not feel that the conflict between him and Li Youfu and the others was so great that he could no longer work for the people of Lijia Village.
Erdan's father was also in the mortuary outside Sanshan County.
Besides, Li Youfu only mentioned rebuilding the ancestral hall and asking for donations from various families, but he didn't say that people should contribute money now.
Since that's the case, Li Shiyue might as well pack up and take Li Qiutian with her.
Although the snow has stopped, it really snowed quite a bit these past few days.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and when a person or horse stepped on it, it would leave a deep pit.
Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian were riding horses, the same two horses that the barbarians had found on the grasslands last time.
But as they traveled, Li Shiyue really felt sorry for the horse. She felt that making the horse travel a long distance in this weather was just a hardship.
As she was patting the horse's neck and talking to it, Ma San rode up on his horse in a gallop.
"Miss Li, the general requests your presence."
Since Liu Tan invited him, Li Shiyue naturally had to go. He was the second most powerful official in Andong, a man with real military power, so it was essential to maintain a good relationship with him.
After giving Li Qiutian a few instructions, Li Shiyue spurred his horse and followed Ma San forward.
Liu Tan was sitting in the carriage that came to pick up Liu Shu. He had originally been riding ahead on horseback, but Liu Shu had asked Zhao Da Hu Zi to invite him to sit in the carriage so they could talk together.
What are you saying?
Liu Tan felt that he and his younger brother, who was quite a bit older than him, the eldest son of the Prince of Zhenbei and the heir apparent of the Prince of Zhenbei, actually had nothing to say to each other.
However, since the Crown Prince had invited him, just as Liu Tan had invited Li Shiyue to speak, Liu Tan could not refuse.
Therefore, Li Shiyue was also invited onto the carriage.
She boarded the carriage without changing her expression, and then saw Liu Shu, who was wearing a white fox fur cloak, and Liu Tan, who had a solemn and expressionless face.
"What kind of hellish scene is this?"
Why did you involve me in your business, which is between you two brothers?
Just then, the system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Context triggered, task detected..."
