Chapter 243 The female supporting character whose life was taken away in the time-travel novel [3]

Author: It’s the young master

Two days later, in the deserted tomb in the imperial city, Queen Li Rongle was crying softly in the dilapidated tomb. Caiyun and Caiyue were guarding the exit of the tomb, which was less than half a meter wide.

"Now that the country's gate has been broken, there are barbarians from outside invading the Central Plains, there are princes plotting rebellion inside, the life and death of my father and nephew are unknown, and the world outside is in chaos, what is the plan for now..." Li Rongle put half of the tiger talisman he was holding in his hand into Su Yue's hand.

, and then said: "Only by using this talisman to find the secret guards of the Li family, can you and I, mother and daughter, save our lives..."

This half tiger talisman was a life-saving talisman left to her by the Zhenguo general. In times of crisis, the Li family's secret guards could be mobilized. If this talisman comes in handy, it can only mean two things. First, the Jin Jun and the court's sycophants want to attack the Li family.

Endangering the queen and princess, the second is palace upheaval and country collapse.

But the only glimmer of hope for them was extremely slim. The invasion of the country by the princes was too sudden. Not long ago, General Zhenguo sent a letter to the queen, telling her that the eighteen princes were trying to rebel, and asked her to stay in the palace.

Pay more attention to him, and stated that he and Li Ji's soldiers would divide into two groups, one to resist the barbarians, and the other to intercept and suppress the rebellion of the princes as quickly as possible. Even if they could not stop them, they would send a message to the queen. She only needed to wait until after receiving the letter.

Escape with the princess.

But the fact is that she did not receive a letter from her mother's family, and the enemy troops attacked on the night of the Shangyuan Festival palace banquet, which caught people off guard.

This...probably can only mean that his father and nephew have died in the battle.

Fortunately, her daughter came to look for her when the enemy troops first broke into the palace, and they survived.

The sad thing now is that they, mother and daughter, and the two maidservants are all women and have no power to restrain a chicken. The enemy troops are raging outside. If they go out hastily and fall into the hands of those people, they will definitely be miserable.

Suyue saw Li Rongle's worry and patted her hand, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter is willing to go to the Zhenguo General's Mansion."

"No, you are still young, stay here and go alone for your mother."

She would never let her only child take this risk.

At this time, Caiyun and Caiyue both ran over and knelt down to kowtow, "Queen, princess, and servant are willing to go! My life is cheap, and death is not a pity!"

"Don't talk about death so easily, none of us will die." Suyue put away the tiger charm and helped the two of them up.

In their previous lives, the two of them loyally followed Murong Lianyue and died protecting their master while fleeing. In this life, they will not let them go down the same path of tragic death again.

Suyue stopped Li Rongle and asked Caiyun to stay and take care of her, while she took Caiyue out.

The Zhenguo General's Mansion was being ransacked. When they came out, they encountered two lone soldiers who raped civilian girls. They killed the two men, put on their clothes, and painted their faces black before walking safely here. In this outfit

, it’s also convenient to get in.

She led Caiyue through the chaotic crowd and entered the study that had been looted.

This is the study room of my grandfather, the general of the Jin Dynasty. It used to be a low-key and elegant place with tens of thousands of books. Except for the dated books, there were no valuable items.

At present, Nuo Da's study room has been destroyed into ruins. The wooden tables and chairs are swaying here and there. All kinds of books and papers are torn into pieces and flying everywhere.

General Zhenguo told Murong Lianyue about the secret passage switch in the study when she was young, and also told her to keep it secret and not to talk about the secret passage to anyone, especially her father Jinjun and the other brothers and sisters.

Relying on her original memory, Su Yue opened the bookshelf that fell on the wall and pressed a stone brick. The stone bricks on the ground made a creaking sound, and the secret passage that could only allow one person to pass gradually appeared.

The secret passage leads downwards, and it looks pitch black from above, like a bottomless well.

Caiyun took the initiative to step forward and said, "Princess, let me help you clear the way for you. If there is any danger later or you are occupied by rebels, I can still block it for you and give you a chance to escape."

Suyue nodded in agreement, after all, she would have to close the secret passage later.

The two of them jumped down the secret passage and slid down the smooth stone wall. During the process, Caiyue was very nervous. It was difficult not to avoid fear in this dark and strange environment.

After sliding down for several hundred meters, a light appeared in front of my eyes. When I reached the end of the secret passage, it suddenly became clear.

It was a huge secret room, the lights inside were brightly lit like daylight. Various weapons and weapons were displayed in the secret room, and hundreds of tall figures dressed in black and holding weapons were arranged in a square formation here.

Seeing someone entering, everyone raised their weapons and pointed them at the entrance vigilantly.

The leader drew his sword and stepped forward. When he saw that the person coming was Su Yue, he immediately retracted the sword and knelt down to kowtow.

"Your Majesty, Li Wei, pays homage to Princess Lianyue!"

This man was dressed in black and elegant, with a tall figure, a handsome face, and a heroic spirit.

After he knelt down, everyone else present also kneeled down with their weapons in hand.

Li Wei was a battlefield orphan adopted by General Zhen Guo. He was given the important task of becoming the leader of the Li family's secret guards.

"General, there is no need to kneel to me. Now that the Jin Dynasty is dead, Princess Lianyue no longer exists. In the future, I still need to rely on the general to protect my mother and I." Su Yue took out half of the tiger charm.

Seeing Hufu, Li Wei asked someone to treat Caiyue well and led Suyue to a room alone.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a pair of silver armor stained with blood.

This is the armor of a hussar general. The bloodstains and scratches on the silver armor are enough to show that the owner of the armor has experienced hundreds of battles, and only experienced one fierce battle. But here is only the armor, and there is no general helmet.

.

The person lying on the bed was none other than Li Ji.

"Brother!" Su Yue had a look of surprise in her eyes and rushed to the bed.

The surprise, in addition to the joy of seeing her relatives again, is also Suyue's own. If Li Ji is alive, the world will be saved!

Li Ji's eyes were closed tightly, his wing-like eyebrows were furrowed, his face that seemed to blend into the beauty of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers was sickly pale, his thin lips were trembling slightly, and he was muttering something to himself in a low voice.

Listening closer, you can clearly hear what he said: "I have been ordered by the emperor to remain loyal until death. If you win a battle, you will return in triumph. If you win a battle, you will be buried alive!"

Although his voice was weak, his words were full of penetrating power that stirred people's hearts.

Su Yue sighed with emotion, General Li Ji is a true righteous man!

"Princess, the old general was killed in battle, and his body... has not been found so far. The young general was seriously injured and was only rescued. The Li family army has lost its commander and is completely defeated!" Li Wei's voice was choked and he couldn't help crying.

Suyue covered her aching heart, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, "Grandpa..."

After a long silence, she turned her attention to Li Ji and said, "General, the top priority, besides being sad, is to pray for my brother's speedy recovery."

"Yes, fortunately...the major general is still alive..."

Li Ji was picked out from the dead by Li Wei. At that time, Li Ji led his troops to the imperial city to stop the rebels. However, he was falsely accused of plotting rebellion. He was besieged by the rebels from the princes and the soldiers who defended the city.
