At night, when Song Li was about to go to bed, someone from the palace suddenly came to find her.
"Your Majesty said, the prince's will is the prince's will, and his will is his." The palace man asked his subordinates to present the gift. Song Li opened it and saw that it was a mammoth jade pendant, which was of high quality.
The mammoth is a unique species in this world. It is twice as big as an elephant. It is covered with thick long hair. It has a ferocious temperament and strong fighting power. It is a symbol of the Xirong royal family. It can be seen that the significance of this jade pendant is not simple.
The palace man was old and looked like a mature man, but at this moment, he knelt down in front of Song Li, with tears streaming down his face, and said sincerely, "Your Majesty's body is not in good condition, so it is inconvenient to send him far away, but in his heart, he is always thinking about him. Your kindness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's pure filial piety, is also the same, His Majesty said, Xirong will always be your friend."
On the surface, it was just a simple thank you, but Song Li could hear the implication. Emperor Xirong wanted them to take care of Wen Renjie.
Poor parents in the world, Wen Renyu looked like he was not going to die soon, but he was always thinking about Wen Renjie's safety. Wen Renjie was also filial, he didn't have enough to eat, and he wanted to risk his own life to save his father.
Sure enough, human nature is predetermined by genes, and Wen Renjie inherited it from his father.
Song Li helped him up, "Friends from Xirong, maybe you don't know yet, but Wen Renjie has worshiped me as his teacher. They are all members of his family, so there is no need to thank him."
She is not a virgin, but she is not cold-blooded either. If Wen Renjie is really in danger, even for the sake of her allies, she will not sit idly by.
The palace man looked surprised, and then his eyes turned gossipy, "May I ask, Miss, what skills did His Highness learn from you as his teacher?"
Song Liqing coughed and said, "...Hi, it's nothing. I accepted the gift and thanked Emperor Xirong for his kindness!"
"Young lady's celestial appearance must have otherworldly abilities, right?"
"Haha, no, you always say goodbye!"
"Bang!" The door was closed.
The palace man smacked his lips, but he didn't eat the melon, and there was no taste in his mouth, but Song Li had already pushed him out.
Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. Let the emperor write a letter and ask His Highness the Crown Prince later.
Thinking about it, it must be an incredible technology!
When Song Da saw them leaving, he knocked on the door and went in, "Miss, there's been an internal fight in Xirong, we'd better leave now."
"Huh?" I didn't expect that Wen Renxuan was dead, and there were still people using his name to fight among themselves. Xirong was a small place, creating a myth. "Then let's leave quickly, I'll clean up now!"
There is nothing to clean up, I just tell others.
Everyone quickly gathered at the door, all neat people, hitched up the carriage and left.
I did see a lot of fighting scenes along the way, and I also saw groups of people fleeing, old and young women crying and robbing each other, and there were thieves who took the opportunity to rob behind...
The essence of war is to fight for power for those in power at the expense of civilian lives. No matter how loud the slogans are, it is just a trick to encourage people.
Song Li is compassionate but will not stop for anyone.
Soon, they broke through a path and killed many horse thieves along the way.
Finally, at dawn, they returned to Daqi.
Song Hailan had been waiting at the border for a long time. He was dressed in black. When he saw Song Li, he hugged her tightly and said, "Good sister! Thank you for your hard work!"
Song Li followed Song Haiming's example and hit him twice on the back, "Brother, it's not hard!"
Song Hailan: "..."
Because they hadn't slept all night and couldn't eat, Song Li and Lao Zhuang went to catch up on their sleep.
The others were called to the study by Song Hailan.
Song Da sighed: "Young Master, the hidden stakes you gave us are not used. The Pearl of the East China Sea is enough for us to get through without any hindrance."
Song Hailan: Night Pearl? It must be Song Li.
He didn't ask further, "What's the situation in Xirong?"
"There is civil strife in Xirong. The eight nobles have rebelled against four families. Wen Renyu's lingering poison has not been cleared up. It doesn't look good..."
…
At this time, he was far away in the capital city of Daqi.
Song Yannian's study.
"...I was so angry that I vomited blood. I saw with my own eyes that King Punduuan knelt outside the study for four hours." Ever since Song Haiming became the Yulin Order, everything he ate was hot.
"Vomiting blood? It's not bad if the wolf-hearted thing doesn't drink blood, can he still vomit blood?" Yang Yuyao didn't believe it.
Song Yannian stroked his beard, "If the loss falls on me, I might vomit blood."
Yang Yuyao: "It's not a day or two since I found out about this. What? I just realized it now?"
Song Haiming: "It is said that King Duan was afraid that the emperor would find out, so he burned a batch of fake gold. The inside was red mud and the outside was wrapped in gold. The emperor did not notice it at first, but today he suddenly discovered it for some reason."
"You mean, Prince Duan is really... greedy?"
"The evidence is conclusive, really greedy!"
…
Ten days later, Song Li returned to the capital of Daqi again.
The return trip time was reduced by three-fifths.
First of all, she was the only one back this time.
Secondly, she had been thinking about which spiritual pet to choose, and Xirong and his party were decided.
She chose a wind horse with a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, and could run without sleep for three days after eating a meal of feed. If it weren't for the fact that places with people had to be low-key, she could go home in five days.
Song Li looked at the towering city gate in the distance and recalled his conversation with Song Hailan in the military camp.
She took out the mammoth jade pendant and asked Song Hailan what it was for.
Song Hailan was shocked when she saw it and told her that this jade pendant was equivalent to the tiger talisman of the Xirong Mammoth Army.
The Mammoth Army is Xirong's biggest killing weapon and Wen Renyu's biggest reliance.
If Song Yannian hadn't hit the target with every shot, shooting the mammoth's eyes from hundreds of miles away, Wen Renyu felt distressed and took back the mammoth army, Song Yannian would not have been able to fight all the way to Xirong Palace. "
After that battle, the mammoth army never went to war again. It is said that it was kept under the Alian Mountain in Xirong.
Song Li was also very shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect Wen Renyu to go so far for his son.
Wen Renyu surrendered to her with an army of mammoths, which can be understood as having two meanings.
1. If the Song family keeps Wenrenjie, the mammoth army will belong to the Song family.
2. If the Song family fails to keep Wenrenjie, the mammoth army will fight the Song family to death.
Song Li had no grievances with Wen Renyu, and she still had a master-disciple relationship with Wen Renjie, so she didn't want to make things so tense.
Therefore, Wen Renjie did not try his best to save her, but had to save her.
Getting closer and closer to the city gate, Song Li suddenly saw a black shadow hanging on the wall, like dried meat.
Of course, she didn't really think it was dried meat. When she reached the city gate, she asked an old woman, "Who is hanging on the wall? They are all dried!"
The aunt's gossip soul was immediately unsealed, "You don't know this? That is the prince of Xirong, who colluded with King Duan to treason, and was ordered by the emperor to be hung on the city wall as a warning. Do you think he deserves it or not? A thief from Xirong came to Da Qi is still restless..."
Song Li didn't hear a word clearly after that and hurried back home.
Yang Yuyao didn't expect that she could come back so soon. She was so happy that she quickly asked the kitchen to cook her favorite dish.
Song Li couldn't take a bite, and his head kept buzzing.
Even if I don't recognize my relatives, there are still so many people hurting me.
Wen Renjie is...
I wonder if he had a full meal before his death.
My heart was filled with panic.
"Madam, is Wen Renjie dead?"
"Didn't we say we would keep him?"
Yang Yuyao was stunned, "What!?"
"Wen Renjie is dead?"
Song Li raised her head and saw Yang Yuyao's shocked face, feeling that things might not be what she thought, "How many days has it been since Wen Renjie was hanged?"
