Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 139: Du Ruhui collapses when his daughter is really here!

"How is it possible, how is it possible!"

Du Ruhui's face was full of disbelief.

It was as if he had witnessed the most impossible scene in the world, and he kept shaking his head.

He continued to look, rubbing his eyes and looking carefully.

And that man...

The man who people thought was dead long ago, the legend of the empire, was alive... standing in front of him!

Thinking of that sentence.

"Now that the state affairs are over, next comes the family affairs..."

What does it mean?
housework?

This... all this, what is going on?

"King Chu, are you not dead?"

Du Ruhui asked with horror in his eyes.

According to the previous title, he would call Li Kuan Xiaokuan.

But the scene in front of him was too horrifying, and since he hadn't seen him for so long, he didn't know what Li Kuan had become, so he could only shout in a unfamiliar tone.

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Death?"

talking.

He opened his hands and his eyes were quite free and easy.

"Can even those Turks trap me?"

Turks, trash?
Are the Turks who can bring the Weishui Alliance to the Tang Dynasty useless?

Du Ruhui was stunned.

The familiar arrogance of Li Kuan in front of him could not help but sweep over him.

He didn't seem to have changed, he was still so arrogant and confident.

But it seems like everything has changed.

It became that Du Ruhui didn't know him, didn't know him, and didn't understand how he ascended to the Great Flame Throne!
Everything... is so strange!
"Are you really the King of Chu?"

Du Ruhui asked again.

Li Kuan smiled and said, "It will be replaced if it's fake."

"Father-in-law, it seems that you are afraid of me. This is human nature, but time will change everything."

"Just like time allowed me to create Dayan and create this empire, it will also let you know that I am still the King of Chu, and I will remain unchanged forever."

The voice fell.

That familiar feeling swept over me again.

This made Du Ruhui less frightened.

Now he,

There are almost 1 questions to ask.

For example, how to get out of trouble, how to create Great Flame, how to capture Yanyun City, etc.

but now….
There is an issue that concerns him the most.

"Father-in-law? Xiao Kuan, what does this mean?"

Du Ruhui asked with a frown.

in the heart.

Then there is some...expectation!

Yes!

expect! !
Back then, my daughter Yan'er left with the King of Chu. In the past, the King of Chu always called her Uncle Du, no matter how good the relationship was. But now that the King of Chu calls her like this, doesn't that mean...
"As you think, father-in-law."

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Yan'er is already my wife, and...she and I have a child."

what! ! !
Du Ruhui's eyes widened.

As soon as this word comes out.

His heart felt like he was being struck by five thunderbolts.

This is too much news and too important! !
He always thought that the King of Chu was dead, and thought that his daughter who followed the King of Chu was also dead.

And now after so long...
Not only was the King of Chu standing in front of him alive, but he also told him that his daughter was married and had a child.

This!
This is this! ! !
Du Ruhui couldn't accept it for a while.

Li Kuan smiled and said: "Father-in-law, why don't you come with me to see Yan'er?"

Du Ruhui was still in shock when he heard the words. He couldn't help but nodded, and then followed King Chu in a daze.

"Yan'er, she...is really still alive?"

On the road, Du Ruhui's eyes were moist.

His voice was trembling.

Li Kuan thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, you know, I have always... never spoken lies."

"It's hard to testify with empty words right now. When you meet Yan'er later and see her with your own eyes, everything... will be solved naturally."

The voice fell.

Du Ruhui fell silent.

There was a huge storm in his heart, but on the outside, he followed Li Kuan quietly.

Walking to the backyard, Li Kuan sighed and said, "Father-in-law, I'm sorry that you have been wronged during this time."

"I should have picked you up earlier to reunite with Yan'er, but... you, the old man, also know that the relationship between me, Dayan, and Datang is almost incompatible."

"Coupled with what happened back then, it is even more impossible to reconcile."

"For the sake of the overall situation, this period of time can only be tolerated."

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't matter if I am wronged. Even in the Tang Dynasty, no one may have guessed that you are the king of Great Yan."

"This is...unbelievable."

He sighed.

next moment.

Thinking of the familiar Li Kuan in front of him, and the fact that his daughter was still missing, Du Ruhui couldn't help but think of the two of them struggling in a desperate situation.

"Xiao Kuan, during this period, you...have suffered a lot, right?"

Du Ruhui's eyes sparkled.

When Li Kuan heard this, his steps stopped and his eyes flickered.

He also thought of those days of blood and tears.

these days.

Too many people died.

Youzhou people, Youzhou soldiers, Chuhe Village, the fragmented Tang Dynasty...
Especially Chuhe Village.

As his contact with Jiangdong became closer and closer, he also learned the details of that night.

That night.

Chuhe Village….
The village he spent his whole life building gave so many people a home, and he also considered it his home. In that home, the smiling and warm people in his memory became black and white photos...
That home was also in ruins.

All in all,
Just because of the words of that cheap father, he was sent out as a hostage.

If I hadn't chosen this in the first place, all this blood and tears could have been avoided.

It will be all right! ! !
avoid! ! ! ! !

When Li Kuan thought of this, his mood fluctuated a little, and even his fists became a little clenched.

This kind of situation usually doesn't happen to him.

It has been almost a year since I sat in the imperial position.

I have long since learned not to express my emotions or anger.

But this thing, only this thing! !
It's his...it's hard to calm down.

He can accept the people he worked so hard to save, some people chose the battlefield and died because of it, and he can also accept birth, old age, illness and death...
But I just can't accept it.

So a group of helpless people died in that rain of arrows and in the massacre of General Tiance!

Those people have children and old people.

Obviously….
He obviously spent a lot of effort to save them, they shouldn't die like this, they shouldn't die like this...
There should be a better future.

But they died so cowardly.

Li Kuan's eyes turned red unconsciously as he thought about it.

But soon he loosened his clenched fists, exhaled, continued walking, and said, "It's all over."

"People should focus on the future, right?"

Du Ruhui's eyes flashed.

He could feel the change in Li Kuan's attitude before and after he said these words.

really….
King Chu did not give up.

yes~
How can we let go of such blood feuds and grievances?

Du Ruhui also sighed.

Speechless all the way.

Neither of them continued to stir up the topic, and both were immersed in the sorrow of the past.

In such a state of mind.

They came to Huaqin Palace.

"His Majesty."

At the door, a palace maid came forward.Li Kuan stretched out his hand to stop him and said without moving his head: "Don't tell me about my arrival."

The palace maid was astonished, and then she made a salute with both hands to accept the order.

Entered Huaqin Palace.

A familiar atmosphere swept over him.

"Peony flowers, this...this is Yan'er's favorite."

"I can still smell the unique fragrance."

Du Ruhui stopped at a peony planting area, his eyes getting moister.

Staring at the group of peonies that only the Du family could dress up, he thought about it, and his thoughts were suddenly taken back many years ago.

"Dad! Dad! What are you doing? Do you want to get rid of these peonies?"

"Yes, Dad is going to plant some other flowers."

"No, no! Dad, I like these peonies very much, please keep them for me!"

"This...Yan'er, you are fooling around, don't stop Daddy!"

"No, no!!"

"......."

that day,
The 11-year-old girl protects the peony garden with her hands open and her eyes are so firm.

At last,
He promised the girl not to destroy the peony gardens.

At the same time, I also knew in my heart that the girl likes peonies the most.

Although he agreed, the girl didn't seem to believe it and kept guarding the peony garden, even late at night.

She was afraid that he would treat her badly!
This made Du Ruhui laugh and cry.

Since then, he has taken great care of the peony garden and even replaced the nearby planting areas with peonies.

Yet even so.

The girl only loved the first group of peony gardens.

"Same, exactly the same..."

"It's Yan'er, it's her, she's still alive..."

Du Ruhui stroked the peony flowers, his voice trembled, and he burst into tears.

He looked at them as if he were seeing his daughter.

He was very familiar with these peonies.

Because since their daughter left the Tang Dynasty with the King of Chu to go to the Turks, everyone thought they were dead, including Du Ruhui.

The pain of losing his daughter made Du Ruhui couldn't help but turn his thoughts to those peonies.

He took care of them, day after day.

It's as if the daughter I once had is still around.

And these peonies were exactly the same as the peonies he took care of, how could he not recognize them.

Only the Du family and his daughter can know how to grow flowers like this! !
"She's alive, she's alive, she's... she's still alive..."

The more Du Ruhui talked about it, the more he cried, and the more he talked about it, the happier he became.

Weeping with joy.

It seemed that in just one moment, the grievances of more than a year after the separation were poured out at this moment.

Li Kuan looked back at him carefully.

There was no urging, just stood aside quietly.

there.

Du Ruhui seemed to have started talking and continued to stroke the peonies: "After she left, her mother and I felt like the sky was falling."

"Her mother even got sick. The imperial doctor said that the disease was a heart disease and there was no solution! I didn't know what to do. Finally, I raised a group of the same peonies and placed them in front of her mother, and her eyes became brighter. "

"They, they are her incarnation, always have been, always have been..."

Du Ruhui's tears kept falling on the peonies, making the flowers reflected more vividly.

It’s like….
Even these peonies dispersed the gloom.

Du Ruhui kept talking and kept talking.

Even though his daughter was right in front of him, he kept venting about the broken peonies, as if he didn't want to see her.

Do not!
no!
That was the daughter he longed for, how could he not want to see her!

Stay here for now.

He was afraid and didn't know what to say when he saw his daughter.

He is afraid.

So, find good words.

Perfect wording!
He wanted to see his daughter in the best possible way.

During this time, Li Kuan has been waiting.

Li Kuan is always like this, willing to stop and wait for the people around him.

I don't know how long has passed.

Du Ruhui seemed to be tired of crying, but also seemed to be ready. He put down the group of nostalgic peonies and said, "Xiao Kuan, let's go."

"I'm sorry for making you laugh and see such a bad side of me."

Du Ruhui kept wiping his tears and his eyes that were red and swollen from crying.

Li Kuan looked at him seriously: "Father-in-law, no."

"Yan'er has been crying a lot since she knew you were coming but couldn't see you."

"In a sense, I, Li Kuan, am the sinner for preventing your father and daughter from meeting."

Du Ruhui shook his head: "No, no, you are a benefactor, a benefactor..."

"You brought my daughter back to me and to her mother. You are a great benefactor."

"I, I... I will kneel down for you!"

As he said that, Du Ruhui almost knelt down.

But Li Kuan quickly stepped forward to support him: "Father-in-law, this happened all because of me, please don't kneel down..."

"I, I..." Du Ruhui's voice trembled, and he didn't know what to say.

He had always remained calm even when the mountain collapsed, but now he was in such a hurry and as helpless as a child.

He seemed to have an emotional breakdown.

I comforted him for a while,

Feeling that Du Ruhui was in a good mood, Li Kuan continued to take him there.

Stop and go all the way.

Finally, we arrived at a place with a pavilion.

I saw that the pavilion was surrounded by lake water.

And in the pavilion.

There was a very gentle woman humming a little tune and rocking the cradle in her hand.

There was a child in the cradle. The woman looked at her so lovingly, but she still seemed to have a childlike innocence. Sometimes she would make funny faces to scare the child, which frightened the child to the point of crying. She would then hug her and comfort her for a while.

"That's it, Yan'er."

"It's really her!"

Du Ruhui's eyes were moist again.

"Father-in-law..." Li Kuan stepped forward.

Du Ruhui stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'm fine, I'm fine..."

Taking a few deep breaths, Du Ruhui continued to calm down.

"Is that your and Yan'er's child?"

While calming down, Du Ruhui chose a topic.

Li Kuan smiled and nodded, looking up over there, his eyes full of tenderness: "Well, she...she is very cute, the cutest child in the world."

Du Ruhui looked at Li Kuan.

Do not know why,

Looking at Li Kuan in front of him, he seemed to see himself back then.

When Yan'er was just born, he said the same thing to everyone he met.

Full of pride.

I have always believed that my child is the most unique in the world.

Such happiness made Du Ruhui feel much better: "What's your name?"

"Li Yingying."

"Li Yingying?"

"Li Yingying, the two Yings of Firefly."

"Yingying, what does it mean?"

"….No."

"...Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's go and see Yan'er."

Du Ruhui laughed, but instead called Li Kuan, who was a little confused, to go forward.

he knows.

This arrogant man may be regretting that he didn't give his daughter a meaningful name.
