Helian Nie raised his eyelids and looked at Helian Si, who was cautiously tugging at his sleeve to plead for Helian Yi. "Do you know what crime Helian Yi has committed?"
"I...I know." Helian Si's voice became even softer, and his head drooped even lower. It was precisely because he knew that he was pleading for mercy.
For an emperor, treason is the most heinous crime, and even execution by slow slicing and the extermination of nine generations of his family would not be enough to quell his hatred.
"But...but Father, I've already killed Nan Hong, my second and third brothers, and, oh yes, the handsome Prime Minister. We should be able to stabilize the court soon."
So, could you please spare my eldest brother's serious crime for the sake of your sweet little daughter?
Helian Si looked at Helian Nie pitifully and expectantly, blinking his beautiful peach blossom eyes vigorously, begging Helian Nie to agree.
"I never knew you had such a big reputation."
Treason is a serious crime, yet this ugly thing actually dares to try to trick Helian Yi into getting away with it by acting cute and charming. What a beautiful dream!
Seeing that his attempts to charm and be cute had failed, Helian Si lowered his head in dejection. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and he looked up.
"How about this, Father, I'll help you win the battles against Xiling and Nanli. In return, you'll be merciful and grant a general amnesty. Please don't hold it against my eldest brother, okay?"
Helian Nie didn't answer, just silently looked at Helian Si, who was getting increasingly anxious.
"Father, please say yes! It's a great deal, really."
The charcoal fire inside the tent was still crackling, but a biting wind was still blowing in through the gaps in the tent.
Helian Si isn't cold, he really isn't cold, but there's a kind of coldness that only your old father feels.
Helian Nie raised his hand, pulling the cloak wrapped around Helian Si even tighter, and spoke in a deep, stern voice.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Just stay here and don't get involved in the war. In seven days, I will take you back to the capital."
Helian Si quickly grasped the key point in Helian Nie's words, "Seven more days? Father, so you've already come up with a plan to break out of the Snow Mountain, is that right?"
Helian Nie's handsome face, with a slight raise of his brow, met Helian Si's surprised gaze with his long, narrow, almond-shaped eyes, and he couldn't deny it.
"I want to unify the world, why would I need an ugly thing like you to help me?"
Helian Si: "…………" So, it's because she's unworthy again, isn't it? My sister is really tired.
Helian Nie didn't inquire further about Helian Si, such as whether the man was Nan Rong Jinghua.
For example, how Helian Si killed Nan Hong—after all, that ugly thing has grown up, and he won't force him to talk about what he doesn't want to say.
One thing will never change: Ugly thing is his daughter, Helian Nie's daughter. Whether she is a demon or something else, he will do everything in his power to protect her.
Her father had gone to discuss the war with the other generals, leaving her alone in the tent.
Wrapped in Helian Nie's cloak, Helian Si propped his chin up and stared at the burning charcoal fire. He was bored, truly bored, and depressed, truly depressed.
Since Helian Si sealed the Buddha Lotus, which was about to disappear without a trace, it has quietly activated its mechanism and reappeared in mid-air.
"Ahem, ahem, what's with 077..."
Call me Helian Si.
Helian Si looked at the timid and cowardly Buddha Lotus floating in mid-air, and chuckled to himself. His red lips curled into a half-smile. This dog, after being a dog for so long, has finally shown up.
