"Please come in."

He followed the people into the house and sat down in the hall.

Someone brought tea and snacks.

"Eat first, I'll report to Master Ming."

"Thank you."

Li Changshou looked at the people in the hall, although they could not be said to be very wealthy.

But it's a single family, and there are servants.

It can be considered a middle class and a good family.

He is neither rich nor wealthy, but he has enough food and clothing.

Li Changshou took a sip of tea.

I found that the little girl looked nervous and a little expectant.

But more than anything, I was still terrified.

He reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, "Don't be afraid."

The little girl said: "Well, Shushu is not afraid."

After a while, a man with a big belly and rich clothes came over in a hurry.

The middle-aged man glanced at Li Changshou, and then his eyes fell on the little girl.

"you are?"

The middle-aged man said hurriedly: "I am Xue Ren, the eldest man of Xue Mansion!"

Li Changshou took out the jade pendant calmly.

Xue Ren took the jade pendant and his expression suddenly changed.

He took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help crying.

He hugged the little girl and said, "....my miserable sister!"

The little girl was held by him, and she raised her head and looked at Li Changshou in horror.

After a while, Xue Ren calmed down.

He said to the little girl: "I am your uncle."

"....Hello, uncle."

The little girl said obediently.

"Hey, you're so good."

Xue Ren held her little face in his hands.

"You must be hungry after walking all the way, hurry up! Lao Zhang, please let the kitchen cook some good food."

The housekeeper, Lao Zhang, was busy.

Li Changshou held his cupped hands and said goodbye.

"In that case, I will take my leave."

Xue Ren grabbed Li Changshou and said, "I have traveled thousands of miles to come here, how can I leave just now?

This great kindness needs to be repaid. "

"No need, this time it's just a return of a favor."

"Then no matter what, I have to stay in my mansion for a few days.

Let me do my best to be a landlord, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy. "

I couldn't resist Xue Qi's warm invitation, and since I was new here, I was really worried about the girl.

Li Changshou had no choice but to agree to stay here for one night.

But there is no need to prepare food and drinks, as we just ate countless crabs.

At this moment, no matter what kind of delicacies are there, I just can’t eat them.

Lying in the wing.

Li Changshou closed his eyes and rested his mind, preparing to take one of the few good nights' sleep.

Then I heard movement outside and saw a little girl sneaking in.

A pair of big eyes seemed to shine in the darkness.

"What's wrong?"

"Shu Shu brought you delicious cakes?"

The little girl took out several delicate snacks from her arms.

"I have already eaten."

"Then Shushu can eat it herself."

The little girl walked to the kang, stretched out her hands to support herself, jumped up and then sat on it.

His short legs were swinging up and down, concentrating on eating snacks.

In fact, why share some snacks with Li Changshou?

Just in the name of sharing some snacks, I wanted to stay with Li Changshou for a while.

After a while, the night became darker.

Li Changshou suddenly tilted his head towards the window, as if he was listening to something.

There was no sound.

No sound at all! !

There is only the sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves.

But this is a bit too quiet for a small town, and there are still lights in the distance.

Proof that this town is still lively at night.

But at this moment, not even the sounds of animals could be heard, and there was no sound of servants moving around.

Li Changshou tightened his grip on the waist knife.

If it's too quiet, it's abnormal!

I hope I'm just being too worried.

Li Changshou opened the window and stuck his head out slightly.

A pair of eyes swept across quickly.

"What's wrong?"

The little girl suddenly raised her head and asked.

Li Changshou made a silencing gesture to her.

The little girl skillfully covered her eyes.

"It's not about closing your eyes, it's about being silent!"

Li Changshou pulled out a rope and tied the little girl to his chest with three strokes.

The little girl obediently allowed himself to be manipulated by him, and even tied an extra buckle on the rope without worry.

Li Changshou quietly turned over the window.

He hoped that he was overly worried, he comforted himself in his heart.

But a strong intuition told him that there was danger!

This means that his so-called organization has been penetrated into a sieve.

After that, no one could believe it.

The further he walked, the more chilled Li Changshou became.

In the huge courtyard, there was not even a single servant left.

Li Changshou stopped and looked up at the night sky.

There is no moon tonight.

A feeling of sadness came over him for no reason.

Such are the great events in the world.

They are little people, no matter how hard they try.

But it still can't be shaken even a little bit.

He traveled here reluctantly.

Following General Yue, I wanted to earn a living and protect my family and country.

Later, General Yue was killed, and Buqu was arrested and hunted down.

He then followed a group of people into the darkness.

A group of people stick to their faith and persist to this day.

But now the so-called perseverance has become a joke.

The little girl seemed to feel something, and patted his face gently, comforting him.

"Don't be afraid. If anyone wants to bully you, Shushu is here."

"You don't know anything."

The little girl said seriously: "If you hand Shushu over, they won't bully you."

Li Changshou smiled warmly.

At this time, footsteps could be heard from the outside.

No longer hiding, this means that they have completed the arrangement.

Even if Li Changshou finds out, it is guaranteed that he will not be able to escape.

Li Changshou heard the sound of armor clashing, the neighing of horses, and swords being unsheathed...

Many people came.

A voice came from outside the gate, "Why don't you come out and talk!"

There was confidence and leisure in his voice.

It is the mercy of the victor towards the loser.

Li Changshou walked to the door and gently pushed the door open a crack.

There was a continuous fire outside.

Officers and soldiers armed with long guns formed several rows.

The crossbowman drew the bowstring fully and was ready to go.

The firelight danced slightly, and Shen Yi, who was riding on the horse, had a smile on his face.

This moment of dreaming back to the battlefield is astonishing.

Li Changshou looked at him calmly,

"It's you?"

"It's me! Can't you think of it?

You were lucky enough to escape in Zhucheng, but you have no choice but to start a war here. "

Shen Yi said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Longevity, how many years have passed and you still look like this."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, we have a friendship.

Hand over the baby girl and you can live. This is your only chance. "

Li Changshou was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Is it necessary?!" Shen Yi's eyes widened, "The group of people above are shouting about protecting the home and the country, but they are not thinking about business.

Otherwise, how do you think you were discovered by us, and how could we wait and wait without knowing it!

Those people above have been rotten for a long time. They buy and sell officials in the court.

They wantonly amassed wealth and treacherous ministers were in power.

What loyal and loyal national defenders, do you know that the leader of your group has sold you for a very good price?

I guess he is currently in the courtyard of the capital, hugging his concubine and drinking wine.

Don’t you think it’s ridiculous for you to persist any longer…”

The more Shen Yi talked, the more excited he became. He was once a joke in his own mouth.

But as time went by, he finally understood one thing.

There are no corpses in repairing bridges and roads, but there are gold belts in murder and arson! !

Li Changshou lowered his head and glanced at the girl tied to his body.

"It has nothing to do with that."

"Oh?" Shen Yi raised his eyebrows.

Li Changshou suddenly smiled, "I am not a loyal minister and good general. I have been no longer a soldier since the day General Yue died. The Tang Dynasty is not worthy of my loyalty.

I am a escort, as you know.

Once the agreement is made, there will be no obstacles in the way! "
