The bright moon was in the sky, softly caressing the huge Wuping Jiedu Envoy Office, bidding farewell to the hustle and bustle of the day. At this time, the surroundings were quiet, except for the obviously increased number of guards who were opening their eyes and alert to the guards.
In the evening, he hurried back to the backyard from the front hall. Li Yuan immediately looked for Mr. Liu to report that he was safe, and then quickly rushed to the courtyard where Wang Jingyao lived.
Just because of today's thrilling battle in the backyard, both Wang Jingguo and Peng Qingying were seriously injured and fell into coma. Li Yuan felt guilty and scared, and regardless of his physical fatigue, he tried his best to speed up.
Under the bright moonlight, it can be seen that this once carefully decorated courtyard is in a mess. The flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are still intact, but the houses are in terrible shape. From the lobby to the inner room, the ground and walls were covered with sword scratches of varying depths. All the surrounding doors and windows were destroyed, leaving ventilation on all sides.
The night wind blew by, and the moonlight shone in through the broken window sill, illuminating the dark holes on the floor and the mottled blood stains that had no time to wipe, which was shocking.
If it weren't for these scenes, who would have imagined that thieves really dared to break into this important place of the Jiedushi government and staged a bloody fight not long ago? Of course, now all the thrills have finally subsided with all the thieves being killed.
In the inner room, in addition to Wang Jingyao, the mistress Zhou Ehuang and the maid Qiu'er have gathered here. Thinking of almost losing these beloved people today, Li Yuan was overcome with emotion. He rushed forward and hugged Zhou Ehuang and Wang Jingyao fiercely into his arms at the same time.
The two girls did not resist, and allowed Li Yuan to enjoy the pleasure of the whole family. After going through a thrilling journey today, it was natural to cry with joy when seeing Li Yuan. After all, the man beside them was their common and only support. Moreover, what Wang Jingyao did today has greatly shortened the distance between him and Emperor Zhou E, and the hidden barriers between the two women seemed to be gradually dissolving.
After some pleasantries, Zhou Ehuang asked about the situation in the front hall today, and Li Yuan briefly explained the whole story. The two women couldn't help but frown.
Zhou Ehuang hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Lang, if it hadn't been for sister Jingyao today, I'm afraid I would have been in bad luck... The Wang family brother is now unconscious, and I feel really guilty in my body and mind. If it weren't for my concubine, Body, how could he..."
Li Yuan waved his hand, and then sighed: "You don't have to think so. The thief was able to break into the backyard because of my negligence! Fortunately, the thief did not succeed today, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life...
All in all, it’s good that you can be safe! Madam, Sister Yao treats you like this, which shows that she has regarded you as a family member. You should cherish this sisterhood from now on! Now that I am in this chaotic world, it is easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. But as long as our whole family is united, we don’t have to be afraid even if there are bad guys. "
"I understand!" Emperor Zhou E paused respectfully, and then naturally and affectionately took Wang Jingyao's arm, smiling and saying: "Sister Yao and I have made an agreement in private, and since then we have become sisters with different surnames, sharing the blessings and misfortune. Never give up even if you live or die.”
Wang Jingyao looked a little frightened, but she did not break away. She just lowered her head and said, "Sister, we are deeply affectionate and I dare not betray you! If my sister hadn't taught me how to play the pipa twice before, I probably wouldn't have been able to trick her today." Help the thieves..."
Seeing the two sisters getting along so happily, Li Yuan almost couldn't believe his eyes. Isn't this the scene every man dreams of? He quickly nodded happily and said yes, and then took the two girls to the bed to inspect Wang Jingguo's injuries.
Even with the mattress on his body, Wang Jingguo, a young man, still looked thin. His face was pale, his eyes were closed and his lips were biting tightly. From time to time, he made a faint sound like murmuring in sleep. Li Yuan quickly reached out to comfort him, but when he touched his forehead, he felt weak. Feeling a little sweat sticking to his hands and feeling hot, he immediately raised his head and said anxiously: "How long have you had Jingguo fever? What did the doctor say?"
Wang Jingyao paused and replied: "The medical officer said that Jingguo suffered internal injuries and was depleted from fighting for a long time. It is normal to have a fever after taking the medicinal soup, and there is no fear for his life."
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the sweaty and determined little face on the couch, and said solemnly: "It's good if you don't have to worry about your life!"
Then he glanced at the dagger lying flat on the bedside, and suddenly remembered the scene of the child practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard when he returned home, and said with emotion: "I underestimated Jingguo! I thought he was just joking, not Thinking that it really came in handy at the critical moment, no matter how good his martial arts skills are now, compared to Chuzhou's stubbornness at that time, he still did not disappoint me..."
As if she had touched her heartstrings, Wang Jingyao's eyes turned slightly red, she lowered her head and pursed her lips and said, "It is Jingguo's blessing to be recognized by the Governor in this way. As a sister and brother, we will never be able to repay the Governor's great kindness!"
Emperor Zhou E gently touched Wang Jingyao's shoulder, then covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Sister, doesn't Jingguo often talk about wanting to be a general? Since Lang Jun knows that he is so brave today, he will definitely be able to fulfill his wish in the future!"
"General?" Li Yuan shook his head slightly and said: "To be a general, you must not only have superb martial arts, but also be able to control your subordinates. I'm afraid Jingguo is too young..."
Emperor Zhou E frowned and was about to say something, but he heard Li Yuan immediately change his subject and said: "Let him come and join the army to practice first! Then he will stay by my side and start as a small soldier."
Zhou Ehuang immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, Sir!"
Wang Jingyao was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses after being reminded softly by Emperor Zhou E. She hurriedly lowered her head and said happily: "Thank you very much, Commander!"
After asking Wang Jingyao to take good care of his younger brother, Li Yuan took Zhou Ehuang and walked out of the inner room. As soon as they arrived in the courtyard, the two hugged each other impatiently. The bright moonlight shone softly on them, which was a good moment to express their feelings to each other.
After the sweet words, Zhou Ehuang seemed to have remembered something. While playing with Li Yuan's clothes, he frowned and said: "Then Prince Zheng is so hateful, but Lang Jun didn't kill him, is it to avoid getting into trouble? But if he really lets him go, Langzhou, if I return to Jinling in the future, I am afraid that I will be unfavorable to Langjun again! I hate him now!"
Li Yuan gently stroked the green hair of the beauty in his arms and said softly: "This man wants to take away everything I have. Why don't I want to kill him? If a prince dies in my hands, the court will definitely not spare me. We are currently fighting the Han army with all our strength, and we really can’t spare any time... This is why I asked him to write the letter in his own hand, in order to maintain the relationship with the imperial court for the time being."
Zhou Ehuang said: "I know the stakes, I'm just worried. Today's incident shows that Prince Zheng is very insidious. In the future, he will always plan to take revenge on Mr. Lang!"
Li Yuan nodded and said: "You are right. After today, King Zheng and I will fight to the death! When we return to Jinling one day, King Zheng will definitely try his best to deal with me...
But madam, have you ever thought about why he dared to attack me openly in Langzhou with only a few hundred troops? Who doesn’t know that all the people in our town of Wuping are elite soldiers? "
