Chapter 65 Meeting the Night King
Lin Yue sat in the carriage, opened the window and looked at the scene of people cheering and cheering, with tears in her eyes.
"This is the road that goes straight, Auntie, I understand."
At this moment, she herself burst into tears with excitement. The experience of escaping from famine made her deeply touched, and she finally understood what the righteousness of her family and country meant.
Gu Lin looked at her niece's back and murmured, "Yue'er, people can lose integrity but cannot be without righteousness."
Lin Yue turned her head and wiped away her tears, smiling brightly and touchingly, "Auntie, I remember."
Gu Lin looked at her and smiled with relief and happiness.
"Don't cry. People will think we have bullied you."
Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears and teased with a smile.
"I, I am...excited. I understand why they are so happy."
This time I really understand.
She was not afraid on the road. She was really selfish at that time, but she was really not afraid. With Uncle Li around, he has always been the god of war, shield and hope in the hearts of the people.
She had never realized that she thought this way before. It was such a deep-rooted thought that she had never been afraid of running away.
She knew that Uncle Li's character and the Gu family's character would never abandon her, so she dared to be so unscrupulous.
Lin Yue was so excited that she couldn't express it in words, but her expression was fragmented, but Wang understood it.
"It's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay."
Ms. Wang raised her head and took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, as if she had thrown away all her anger and pain, cheered up again, and started over to welcome a better life.
The Li family members did not bring weapons this time, which also showed their attitude. We will never hurt any innocent people, and we are not a threat.
They arrived at the gate of Linqi City in the afternoon.
There was a group of people standing at the gate of the city. At the front were a few people in rich clothes, namely the Night King and his wife and his eldest son. Behind them stood the Wang family.
Boss Li dismounted before he could reach him. Li Jiaerlang immediately followed him and stood there, keeping a large distance between the team and the Night King to show respect.
"The general will meet His Royal Highness the Night King, the princess, and the eldest son."
"The boy has met His Royal Highness the Night King, the princess, and the eldest young master."
Li Rui, Gu Lei and others also stepped forward to salute.
Mr. Gu and Mr. Li, as well as Aunt Gu of the Wang family and the Gu Lin family, led Li Yu and others to come forward to pay their respects.
"Everyone is so polite, please get up quickly. This is home. You have suffered all the way. Where are the others, Gu Dalang."
The Night King looked around and saw that the number of people was wrong.
Gu Lin covered her face and lowered her head to salute again, "Your Highness, my elder brother and third brother have died at the gate of the city..."
Boss Li turned away with a sad look on his face, "My second brother and his wife are also gone."
"What?"
"Oh My God!"
Although the Night King and his wife were prepared, their eyes widened in shock when they saw the dusty appearance of this group of old and weak people.
"Is this the fate of a good and loyal general?"
The eldest son of the Night King couldn't help but blurt out.
"Shut up."
The Night King turned his head and scolded his son angrily.
The eldest son turned red with anger, looking angry and aggrieved.
The Night King shook his head, "It's my fault that I made you sad. Come on, please come inside. This time, we can have a good drink. We made an appointment that year to have a good drink together."
"Yeah, we were still young that year."
Boss Li also laughed.
The Night King and Mr. Li were side by side. Mr. Li stood one step behind the Night King, maintaining a front-to-back posture.
"You've suffered a lot along the way, but you haven't seen any soldiers guarding the old and weak."
Boss Li's face turned gloomy, "My Li family has always been loyal and will never treason or rebel. The military power has been taken back long ago. I am no longer qualified to use the army. I just want the old and weak family members to have a place to stay."
He looked frustrated.
The Night King opened his mouth slightly, but the princess touched his arm with her hand and shook her head slightly at him, meaning not to act too hastily.
The Night King sighed, "I don't know what to say. Is the capital... okay?"
He finally asked the truth that he had never dared to ask.
"No, all the loyal ministers are about to be killed. Our two families escaped only by relying on their martial arts, but we also lost our troops. My brother is dead, and there are not many nephews left. The bodies of the prime minister and my brother are hung on the city gate.
Show to the public..."
"What?"
The Night King clenched his fists angrily, his face turned livid, his whole body was trembling and he was speechless.
"This evil beast...ah!"
The Night King gasped for breath. He didn't expect such a truth to come out. The information they sent back was actually incomplete.
"The capital city is bleeding like a river. Have you seen that girl? Her whole family was wiped out. She escaped only when she was a guest at the Gu family. The elder man's wife is her aunt. The entire prime minister's family..., as well as the elder man and the third child.
No more…”
Boss Li was trembling all over when he spoke, and his lips were trembling uncontrollably.
"This beast, how did my royal brother die?"
The Night King covered his face and broke down crying. He could no longer escape reality and could no longer find an excuse to comfort himself.
The bloody truth was before his eyes, forcing him to face it.
"Those who were poisoned for a long time, we were all isolated, and our loyal ministers were killed before we could take a breath. All the princes of the late emperor were dead."
When the Night King heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, his body shook, and his vision went dark.
"Your Highness, take care of yourself."
Boss Li quickly supported the Night King.
The Night King had tears streaming down his face, "Brother, you are so confused..."
He lost control of his emotions and broke down crying.
Princess Ye also shed tears. The late emperor treated them very favorably.
"Dad, please forgive me. What should we do in the future? There are refugees everywhere, and some people have rebelled. Where will we go from here?"
The eldest son also lowered his head and worried.
They can't pretend to be stupid forever, and it's very difficult to protect themselves now.
"Go back first and let me think about it again. Brother Li, you have been tired all the way. Go back and have a good rest. I will send someone to call you later to discuss the plan."
"good."
"You should go back first and ask the imperial doctor to follow you to the Wang family to see the elderly and women and take good care of them."
The Night King looked at the boss of the Wang family and explained.
Wang E nodded, "Yes."
"Then I'll take my leave first. Don't worry when you get home. If you have any trouble, just ask someone to come to me."
The Night King nodded to the old man cordially.
"Farewell to Your Highness."
Everyone bowed and saluted again.
The Night King then left with his entourage. This time he personally went out of the city to greet them, which also showed his attitude. He welcomed and valued the Li family and the Gu family, and hoped that other aristocratic families would not embarrass them.
"First uncle, second uncle, third uncle."
Brother and sister Li Yu came forward to say hello.
"Brother-in-law... I have made you worry and tired."
Boss Li bowed.
"Don't be polite to my family. If you go to our family, you will suffer along the way."
Wang Jia took his brother-in-law's hand and patted it, speaking earnestly to comfort him.
"It's Brother Xu, right?"
"Brother Xu, call me uncle."
Li Yu taught his younger brother.
"The first uncle is good, the second uncle is good, and the third uncle is good."
Brother Xu salutes.
Wang E keenly noticed that something was not right with the child and looked at his brother-in-law for answers.
Boss Li turned sideways and whispered in his ear, "When I escaped from the city, I saw my parents dying tragically in front of my eyes. I became like this after having a high fever all night. This is much better. I didn't say anything stupid before."
After saying that, he shook his head sadly.
Wang E took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, held the child lovingly in his arms, and showed a loving smile to him, "How about going to your uncle's house and reading and playing with your brothers?"
