What he said was obviously a lie, and only he knew it. Regardless of whether he revealed the whereabouts of the ledger or not, he actually had no chance of survival.

However, the child didn't know what her father said, so she believed it.

Only the wife on the side was silently wiping her tears. She looked at her husband silently, with distress, reluctance, regret and complaint in her eyes.

Li Yunlan only felt that he owed his wife too much, but he couldn't speak. He could only say to his wife, "Go away! Don't worry about me. Live well with your children."

He spoke softly, but his wife could tell clearly what he was saying to her through Li Yunlan's lip reading.

She knew that Li Yunlan had no chance of survival, and it was not like she didn't want to go with Li Yunlan.

But she also knew in her heart that if she followed Li Yunlan, their children would have no chance of survival.

Nannan is her lost flesh and her responsibility.

She had no choice but to give up this innocent child just for her husband.

So she just said to Li Yunlan with red eyes, "Don't worry, I will take good care of my daughter."

Then she wiped away her tears for the last time, and then she squatted down to straighten her daughter's messy clothes.

She suppressed her sadness and said to her daughter, "Nanny, let's go. Let's go out and wait for your father. When he comes out, let's go home together, okay?"

Nannan didn't understand anything. Her mother said so, so she just agreed, "Okay."

Then the little girl said innocently, "Daddy, my mother and I are going out first. We'll wait for you outside. You must go home with us."

Li Yunlan smiled and said "Hello".

The little girl left holding hands with her mother.

Only Mrs. Li suddenly turned around and said to him at the last moment, "I'm sorry."

No one knows who she is sorry for, and no one knows why she is sorry.

But only Li Yunlan knew in her heart that she was talking to herself. Although she had been blaming herself for challenging the Zhu family after knowing that she had embarked on this path, she did not stop herself in the end.

Perhaps she also knew in her heart that the people of Yunzhou were really suffering.

It's just that she never said it out loud, and she didn't care what he did next.

Now he gave up saving the people of Yunzhou for the sake of mother and daughter.

She may have felt this friendship, so she said sorry to herself.

But what she didn't know was that she was the one who had been sorry for them.

As their husband, he never gave them a stable environment, let alone a good life. Instead, they all died and were hurt one by one because of him.

The moment he saw his wife and daughter being bullied, he didn't even know what he was doing.

He always felt that as long as he ignored everything, as long as he flew into the flames, there would be a trace of clarity and justice in the world.

But now it seems that the night in Yunzhou is really too dark.

He spent half his life unable to shake off a shred of darkness, let alone a shred of light.

On the contrary, it was his family and friends who suffered bad luck one after another because of him.

He felt that he could finally hold on no longer. What he believed in might not exist in the first place. Perhaps this world is inherently dark.

The moment his faith collapsed, he gave up his persistence and no longer wanted to fly into the flames.

He was a fool. He killed his relatives, friends, teachers and students.

He is a mediocre person who can neither save the people nor his family.

It's ridiculous that he spent half his life to understand this truth.

Zhu Yuewu didn't know what the mental journey of this noble and proud gentleman had gone through, but looking at his white hair getting whiter, and looking at his always straight spine, he finally collapsed.

His whole body just looks like

He looked like a stinky skin that had been drained of all its vitality, and he knew he had succeeded.

There is nothing like having a proud man lower his head.

There's nothing like shattering a proud pride.

There is nothing more satisfying than having one's faith crumble.

He looked down at Li Yunlan and said, "Now they are out safely. Can you tell me the whereabouts of the ledger?"

When Li Yunlan heard this, he just raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yuewu, and then he whispered, "The account book is in the hands of Master Niu of Qingyun Gym. Don't hurt him when you go."

Hearing that Li Yunlan was already like this, but still said such hypocritical words, Zhu Yuewu only curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Don't worry, we know what's appropriate."

After saying this, Zhu Yuewu just waved his hand and said, "Come here, take him down."

After the words fell, Zhu Yuewu seemed to remember something again. He only said to the people around him, "Tell your father, and he will do anything. It will be up to your father to decide how to deal with him next."

After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, the attendant naturally just responded with a "yes".

Then everyone just went everywhere.

Everything seemed to be calm again.

However, this night was destined to be unstable for Zhu Yuewu.

After all, it had been so long, and Li Yunlan was a hard nut that no one could break, but now he had cracked it, and he also found out the whereabouts of the Zhu family's account books that had been threatening them.

When the account book is handed over to his father, he will let those people take a good look at his abilities.

Thinking of this, he immediately got on the horse in high spirits.

When he went out, the people in the mansion only said to him, "Second Young Master, it's so late, why are you still going out?"

Zhu Yue Martial Arts "Yes! I have something very important! I'll be back when I'm done. Remember to leave the door open for me."

The guard immediately nodded and bowed in response. ap.

Although it was late at night, the sky was dark, and there was no one on the street because of the curfew, but it was obvious that in Yunzhou, the curfew was a rule that the Zhu family did not need to abide by.

After Zhu Yuewu left in a hurry, Wu Chengwei finally reached the dungeon where Li Yunlan was imprisoned.

When Wu Chengwei touched the dungeon, he originally thought that it should be heavily guarded, but now it seems that the guards here are also lax.

He walked in and easily saw Li Yunlan without even using a few guns.

At the moment, Li Yunlan was sitting in the shadow of a prison like a dilapidated statue. People couldn't see his expression clearly, and they didn't know what he was thinking.

He sat motionless like this for almost an unknown amount of time.

Looking at Li Yunlan's appearance, Wu Chengwei even thought that Li Yunlan was dead.

He called softly a few times, "Mr. Yunlan, Mr. Yunlan."

However, Li Yunlan did not respond.

It looked like he had no injuries on his body, but he didn't respond. Could it be that he had suffered internal injuries?

Thinking of this, Wu Chengwei could only immediately try to open the door of the cell.

Fortunately, he has good experience in unlocking. He opened the cell door here with only a piece of wire.

After opening the cell door, Wu Chengwei immediately came to Li Yunlan's side.

He tested Li Yunlan's breathing.

Li Yunlan naturally glanced at him, and then Wu Chengwei discovered that the other party was still alive.

Wu Chengwei immediately said to Li Yunlan, "Mr. Yunlan, I'm here to rescue you. Please come with me quickly."

Hearing Wu Chengwei's words, Li Yunlan suddenly shook his head, "No, you don't have to worry about me. A useless person like me is sorry for heaven and earth. You don't need to save me."

Hearing Li Yunlan's words, Wu Chengwei immediately said, "How can you be a useless person, sir! If there were not people like you, the people of Yunzhou would definitely be in dire straits."

But it is precisely because of their husband that they can see the light! "

"Can we see the light?" Li Yunlan asked Wu Chengwei with a pair of dull eyes.

Then he suddenly burst into laughter, but this laugh was uglier than crying. "What is light? Isn't the world originally dark?"

Wu Chengwei was not in the mood to discuss such deep philosophical issues with the other party now. He could only helplessly take a deep breath and said, "The light is you, it is me, and it is our master. I was sent by His Highness King Jin to rescue you."

Hearing the name of His Highness Prince Jin, Li Yunlan, who was originally at a loss, suddenly shrank his pupils, "His Royal Highness Jin Prince, are you talking about His Highness the Prince of Jin who made a ten-year non-aggression treaty with the Qiang Desert with General Chen without bloodshed?"

Li Yunlan asked in a low voice.

Hearing Li Yunlan's inquiry, Wu Chengwei just said in a dumbfounded voice, "In addition to His Highness Jin, who else can be in this Dynasty. He already knows the situation on your side. He asked me to come here. In addition to saving you, , but also to let those who deserve it get the punishment they deserve."

Hearing this, Li Yunlan actually cried with joy.

"Is everything you said true?" he asked tightly.

Wu Chengwei smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

Then Wu Chengwei seemed to remember something.

So he just said to Li Yunlan later, "So let's leave quickly?"

However, Li Yunlan still shook his head.

Wu Chengwei was a little helpless, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Yunlan said in despair, "I don't deserve to be rescued. I just did it."

"Recruited? What did you recruit?" Wu Chengwei asked immediately.

Li Yunlan whispered, "Zhu Yuewu threatened me with my wife and daughter. I didn't want them to be bullied because of me anymore, so I told him. I said the account book is at Qingyun Temple, Taoist Master Niu."

Although Wu Chengwei felt troublesome when he heard this, he also felt that Li Yunlan's behavior was human nature.

He sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out! You quickly find a place to hide with your wife and daughter."

Hearing that even though he was like this, the other party was still willing to save him, Li Yunlan was moved and ashamed at the same time, "Then... what about you?"

Wu Chengwei only said, "What else can I do? Naturally, I need to quickly find the account book. Fortunately, that guy didn't go far. We may not be slower than them by taking a shortcut. I'll take you out of the house first."
