Seven years later, Zhao Guo and Li Fu.
Li Fu's backyard is very large. It is midsummer at this time, and all the flowers in the flower beds are in bloom, filling the entire backyard with a refreshing fragrance.
The sound of rushing water came, but it was an artificial stream passing through the flowers.
The stream flows slowly, and you can see through the water at a glance and see the mud beneath the water.
At this time, the smiling faces of two children, a man and a woman, who were about six or seven years old and dressed in luxurious clothes, suddenly reflected on the water. The two children had big eyes and were as beautiful as rag dolls. Moreover, although the two children were of different genders, They are the same, but they look very similar.
The boy was missing one of his front teeth, and his grin had a kind of simplicity to it.
The girl was also missing a front tooth, and when she smiled, there were two shallow dimples on both sides of her cheeks.
The two children in the water looked at each other, then picked up the windmills in their hands and walked through the flowers with laughter.
"Liang'er, Shui'er, run slower, don't fall!" At this time, a beautiful and melodious woman's voice came from a pavilion next to the stream.
This woman was in her twenties, extremely beautiful, with a hint of freshness and refinement. Her black hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head, and she looked like a married woman, but she was none other than Murong Xue.
It has been seven years since she arrived in the State of Zhao. When she first arrived in the State of Zhao seven years ago, it was already more than four months since they left Surabaya City. After completing her marriage to Li Yaozu, she was not stigmatized as having a child out of wedlock.
However, Murong Xue was able to live up to her expectations and gave birth to a pair of twins for Li Yaozu in one breath.
This made everyone in the Li family happy for a long time, and they specially held a banquet for the two children, which was made known to everyone.
At the same time, since Li Yaozu got a wife and became a father, he finally found the emotional string he was missing, and his relationship with Murong Xue tended to ease.
Later, at Murong Xue's insistence, the two boys were named Li Liang, which meant that Murong Xue was once a member of the Liang Kingdom.
The daughter is called Li Shuier, which means the fate she and Li Yaozu forged in Surabaya City.
Time can smooth out everything, and seven years have even worn away Miss Murong Xue's temper. Now she has long forgotten her hatred with Li Yaozu, and is thinking more about their two children and her love for Li Yaozu.
Not long after, Li Liang suddenly exclaimed, "Daddy is back."
Li Shuier's little head followed Li Liang's gaze and saw a tall, honest-looking middle-aged man walking through the corridor and walking towards the backyard.
"Ah, daddy is really back." Li Shuier's eyes showed excitement, she exclaimed and ran up with Li Liang.
"Hey, hey, you two, slow down." Seeing that the two children were crazy, Murong Xue ran towards Li Yaozu and
He shouted quickly and then followed.
"Daddy! I miss you so much," Li Shui'er said when she came to Li Yaozu and hugged Li Yaozu's thigh.
"Really!" Li Yaozu picked up the two children, one in each hand. His face was a little gloomy before, but when he saw these two children, his depressed mood was swept away. He felt that with the two of them, This life is enough.
"Nonsense, my sister is obviously thinking about the candy man that daddy promised to buy for her." At this time, Li Liang in his arms said.
"Uh..." Li Shuier made a face and stuck out her tongue.
"Hahaha, how could dad forget this?" Li Yaozu replied with a smile, and then said, "Come on."
"Young man is here!" As soon as Li Yaozu finished speaking, a servant came up with a golden candy man in one hand.
When Li Liang and Li Shui'er saw the candy man, their eyes immediately shone, and they quickly struggled down to the ground to grab the candy man from the man's hand. After a while, they licked the candy man and jumped away.
"Master, you are back." Murong Xuexiao looked at the two children leaving, then turned to look at Li Yaozu and said with a smile.
Li Yaozu looked at Murong Xue with a strange light flashing in his eyes, and gave a faint hum, then walked towards the small pavilion by the stream with his hands behind his hands.
A trace of surprise flashed across Murong Xue's face, and she followed him with steps.
Murong Xue and Li Yaozu sat across from each other in the pavilion.
"Sir, why are you coming to the backyard without taking off your official uniform?" Murong Xue poured a cup of tea for Li Yaozu and asked hesitantly.
"Yeah!" Li Yaozu nodded, looked at Murong Xue a little embarrassed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Liang Guo..."
Murong Xue's hand movements froze, and the smile froze on her face.
They have lived together for seven years. Although Li Yaozu said two words, Murong Xue understood the meaning of Li Yaozu's words tacitly.
After a while, Murong Xue sat down gently and said, "Are you going to lead the army this time?"
"Yeah!" Li Yaozu nodded.
After a great war seven years ago, the Liang State's national power weakened rapidly and was now in a precarious state. If Murong Xiao, an old minister of the three dynasties, had not maintained the government, the Liang State would have collapsed by this time.
On Zhao's side, Li Zhongguo has retreated to the second line. Li Yaozu has taken over Li Zhongguo's seal. With the support of a group of veterans, Li Yaozu has become the new pillar of Zhao.
"The family and the country are righteous. I am now a native of Zhao, so I will not stop you." Murong Xue said to Li Yaozu with a smile.
Li Yaozu looked at Murong Xue with a flash of tenderness in his eyes. It was like that when he met Murong Xue back then, but he never thought that Murong Xue would have such a heart today that he did not have.
"I only hope that when I see my father, I can let him go, spare his life and the lives of everyone in the Murong family, and let them live." Murong Xue looked at Li Yaozu who was full of tenderness and said softly.
said.
"That's natural. When the time comes, I will persuade your father-in-law to give up resistance. Now Zhao and Liang are no longer on the same level. As long as Zhao is willing, he can easily defeat Liang. I hope my father-in-law can see the situation clearly." Li Yaozu He nodded and agreed.
"Thank you very much, sir." Murong Xue stood up and bowed slightly to Li Yaozu.
"You and I don't have to be like this." Li Yaozu took Murong Xue's hand and stroked it gently.
After one month.
Murong Xue and the two children arranged the armor for Li Yaozu and watched Li Yaozu go away.
It didn't take long before Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops marched toward Liang.
Three years later.
The streets of the capital of the State of Zhao were filled with citizens. These people held flower baskets and threw the bright petals into the air. They shouted to welcome the sergeants riding tall horses passing through the street.
Not long after, a tall man wearing silver armor got off his horse at Li Fu's door. It was Li Yaozu.
Behind Li Yaozu, there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages.
After Li Yaozu stopped, the carriages stopped one after another, and not long after, dozens of men and women wearing Liang Guo costumes got out of the carriages.
There were old and young among these people, all with sad expressions, but they were all relatives of the Murong family.
They were led by an old woman with white hair. The old woman was leaning on a cane. As soon as she got off the carriage, two people came forward to help her.
"Mother-in-law, this is my son-in-law's home." Li Yaozu took someone's hand before entering the house, helped the old woman up and said with a smile.
The old woman glanced at Li Yaozu without saying anything, and then looked at Li Yaozu's door with hope.
After a while, a beautiful figure led two teenage children and walked out of Lifu's gate first. When he saw the woman, the woman's eyes were immediately covered with mist.
Murong Xue's eyes were filled with tears. She had not seen her biological mother for ten years. At this moment, she could no longer bear the lovesickness and burst into tears. She knelt down in front of the old woman with a thud.
"mother...!"
Tears welled up in the old woman's dim eyes. She hugged Murong Xue and cried bitterly on the street. For a moment, all the Murong family members had tears in their eyes, and the street was immediately filled with the sound of crying.
"Come on, Liang'er, Shui'er, meet grandma soon." Murong Xue pulled the two children and said.
"grandmother!"
"grandmother!"
Li Liang and Li Shuier bowed respectfully to the old woman.
A strange look flashed in the old woman's eyes, but she wasn't too happy. She just gave a faint hum.
Murong Xue's expression changed when she saw the old woman treating her two children like this. She raised her head and glanced at the Murong family members around her, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Where's mom...where's dad?" Murong Xue asked with a trembling voice.
The old woman turned aside and Li Yaozu couldn't help but
Talking more.
Murong Xue was smart and understood immediately what was going on. Her tears couldn't stop pouring out. After a while, she wiped away her tears and said, "Let's go home first. The servants have already made room for you. Let’s settle down first.”
"Okay!" The old woman nodded.
It's late at night, the streets are quiet, and it's late afternoon.
Murong Xue opened the door and entered the house with red and swollen eyes.
She sat on the bedside, tears still pouring out.
"My father-in-law defended Surabaya City. I tried to persuade him for more than two months to no avail. Later, he attacked Surabaya City by force. When the city was broken, my father-in-law unexpectedly drew his sword..."
"Okay, stop talking!"
Before Li Yaozu could finish speaking, Murong Xue interrupted Li Yaozu.
"I'm very grateful that I can bring my mother back." Murong Xue said softly with a forced smile.
"Well, as long as you understand! Go to sleep!" Li Yaozu said calmly.
"Yeah!" Murong Xue nodded in agreement.
Early next morning.
"No, Madam hanged herself..."
"Come and save people."
At this time, screams rang out in the backyard of Li's house.
Hearing the cry, Li Yaozu opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Murong Xue and saw the shock in each other's eyes. He quickly got out of bed without even bothering to put on his coat, opened the door and ran out.
Seeing the servants in a mess in the backyard, Li Yaozu and Murong Xue's hearts trembled at the same time, and they ran towards the house where Murong Xuemiang lived.
When they reached the door, they both froze at the same time.
But I saw that the old woman who was still alive yesterday had no breath today. She was lying stiffly on the ground. A white silk silk was swaying slightly on the beam in the house.
"Mother..." Murong Xue's eyes were mist-filled again as she cried and threw herself at the old woman's corpse.
Looking at the old woman's stiff body, Murong Xue was heartbroken at this moment.
"Mom, why are you willing to leave me..."
"mother..."
Murong Xue cried loudly. She felt that everything was despairing. What the world said was the destruction of a country and a family was nothing more than that.
His father died because her husband died, and her mother died in front of her. At this moment, Murong Xue's heart broke into countless petals.
She looked at Li Yaozu who was stunned at the door. At this moment, her eyes seemed to go back to when they met in Surabaya City. It was a look full of hatred and no longer full of affection.
Looking back, she looked at the old woman, caressed her face, and said softly, "Mom, my daughter will come over to accompany you right now."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, he stood up and rushed towards the doorpost.
"Xue'er..." Seeing Murong Xue's action, Li Yaozu's pupils suddenly shrank and he exclaimed.
But it was already too late.
Only a muffled bang was heard in the house,
Blood suddenly appeared and splashed around.
Murong Xue's body fell limply.
Li Yaozu caught Murong Xue and stared at Murong Xue's blood-stained face, but couldn't say a word.
"We shouldn't be together." Murong Xue looked at the usually taciturn Li Yaozu and said with difficulty.
"Nonsense!" Li Yaozu shouted and immediately called the servant behind him, "Come to the doctor quickly."
"No need, I'm still suffering pain while I'm alive, why don't you just let me go."
"No, you are not allowed to die until I let you die." At this time, the determined Li Yaozu shouted with a look of pain on his face.
Murong Xue raised her hand with difficulty, touched Li Yaozu's face, and chuckled, "Take care of our children."
After saying that, her beautiful eyes slowly closed and her hands dropped.
"Xue'er..." Li Yaozu shouted while holding Murong Xue's body.
For a moment, everyone was overwhelmed by the scene in front of them, and stood there in a daze, looking at the two people on the ground.
"boom!"
At this moment, there was a booming sound in the sky, as if the sky was shattering and the earth was cracking.
Then there was a mechanical clicking sound.
Li Yaozu, who was in the midst of grief, had a look of understanding flash in his eyes, his expression suddenly stiffened, he looked at the woman in his arms, his body trembled, and he quickly threw Murong Xue's body aside.
He stood up and looked around.
"Why am I here?" Ji Liao's eyes flashed as he looked at the dead body of Murong Xue, "Why is she here again? What's going on?"
After saying that, he flashed, leaving an afterimage on the spot and jumped out of the door.
