On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 225 Lie 2
Li Yan suspected that he heard wrongly.

He had only been out for two days, and he already had a wife and children when he came back. Isn't this too fast?
No, he can guarantee that he didn't do anything inappropriate to Xiao Xiao?

However, Xiao Xiao's voice calling him 'Brother Yan' and 'Husband' was particularly beautiful, like the sound of nature, making his heart bubble with joy.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he instantly understood Xiao Xiao's true intention.

She was telling herself that she was her own woman now, with her own flesh and blood in her belly.

After he was excited, he became angry and wanted to kill someone.

They can't even imagine how Xiao Xiao was forced to ignore her own reputation and ruin her own reputation.

It's a pity that the relationship between aristocratic families is so luxuriant that a single move can affect the whole body.

He had received news that Sheng Quan's biological sister was married to the second son of the Hong family, and now Sheng Quan's biological niece was promised to the Lord's third son as his wife.

The ancestors of the Hong family were imperial merchants, and their family fortune was unimaginably rich. This time, Li Yan's father was ordered to go on an expedition, and it was the children of the Hong family who transported military rations.

The Hong family has prepared the necessary labor, livestock, utensils, equipment, grain and martingale, etc. for the carts and mules.

What the head of the Hong family said was also very touching: In order for the Lord to rule the world as soon as possible, the Hong family spent all their wealth without regret.

At the same time, they offered the iron ore they found and promised to provide one hundred thousand stones of food and grass within three years.

For King Jin'an, this was simply a timely help.

In every battle, food arrives first and the soldiers are well fed and the horses are ready.

Now that he has iron ore, it is enough to feed his 100,000 troops for three to five months.

Therefore, King Jin'an was deeply grateful for the Hong family's efforts, and specifically let the princess meet the female family members of the Hong family, and finally asked his third son to marry Hong Shuzhen, the daughter of the Hong family's second son.

Li Yan's biological father, Li Rongxuan, was worried that his son would not be well informed outside, so he asked his subordinates to deliver letters to him.

There is also a special contact between father and son, so Li Yan just received a message from his father when he went out this time.

Now that the Hong family is the Lord's new favorite, they really have to avoid his edge.

Otherwise, if they make trouble, it will look like they are embarrassing the Hong family.

And Sheng Quan, who was originally going to be questioned, would probably be honoured, and might be over after being reprimanded by the Lord.

Therefore, at this moment, even though Li Yan wanted to kill the Sheng family father and son, he still could not act rashly. He just walked over with murderous intent, kicked away the guard who was twisting Xiao Xiao's arm, and sneered: "Who gave you the courage to touch me? woman.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife was already out of its sheath, and with lightning speed, he slashed across the guard's neck.

The guard didn't even scream, his eyes widened and he fell straight back.

Li Yan's move was to scare the monkeys, and it was specially done to show the Sheng family's father and son.

Only by letting them know that he dotes on Xiao Xiao can they be made wary.

He was just too harsh, and he was worried that he would scare Xiao Xiao.

Therefore, she took a sneak peek at her and looked at her with a moved face. She really didn't look panicked.

Sheng Quan was almost furious: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect you, Li Yan, to be so affectionate and loyal to the woman who killed my son. When I get back, I will go to the Chen family to talk to my aunt."

When Li Yan heard about the Chen family, he thought of Chen Wanrou, who was engaged to him.

Chen Wanrou's aunt is also Li Yan's aunt's sister. Therefore, he hates these aristocratic families the most. They have too many relatives, and sometimes an oversight can offend others.

Of course, he was not afraid of offending his aunt, but he was afraid that his aunt would have objections to Xiao Xiao and it would be too easy to embarrass Xiao Xiao.

It turned out that Li Yan thought about it, but in the end he was worried that Xiao Xiao would not be able to stay in the inner courtyard of the deep house, so he decided not to accept her.

Furthermore, the letter from his father also urged him not to forget the wedding date and to go back at least three to five days in advance.

His wedding date is on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

Today is already the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, less than half a month before he marries his bride.

Of course, due to Chen Wanrou's special status, it is impossible for him to be sincere towards her.

Moreover, his own mother had told him privately that Chen Wanrou had problems brought from the womb. She said that in spring and autumn, she would often linger on the sick bed, cough constantly, and occasionally cough up blood, fearing that she had tuberculosis.

If such a woman is married, let alone having children, even if it is intimate matters between husband and wife, she may not be able to do it well.

But this is easy to understand. My aunt originally complained that he had taken advantage of her, and she would definitely not be willing to let his child be born before her second brother.

However, the elders and younger ones were in order, and the legitimate mother could not let her second brother, her only legitimate son, get married earlier than herself.

Therefore, arranging a marriage between himself and Chen Wanrou was indeed a success.

Now listening to Sheng Quan's words, it is obvious that he is related to the Chen family.

It is not easy for a woman from a high-class family. She has to remember the in-laws in each house, the exchanges between relatives and friends, and learn how to give and receive gifts since she was a child.

He is a man and has too much to learn. He pays more attention to the news from outside and ignores the in-laws in the inner house.

He raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Is General Sheng still a child with a yellow mouth? You were beaten outside, and you want to go back to find your relatives to help you regain your place?"

"It's a pity that I don't dare to compete with women. It's my fault. I'll apologize to Shanda."

Xiao Xiao admired him from the bottom of her heart. This was not an apology, he just wanted to piss people off.

Then he started crying again, where should he run away now?
She felt in her heart that Li Yan could protect her for a while, but he could not protect her for the rest of her life.

It's also my fault that I don't have the ability. Is it possible that I really want to conquer the mountain and become the king?

The world is not at peace, and the overlords who are each occupying one side are unwilling to distract themselves from suppressing the bandits.

She felt that within three to five years, becoming a bandit would still have some potential.

But we can’t say it will be safe.

Who knows if their peers will want to annex them? There were also generals and princes who were passing by. When they heard that there were bandits, they might kill them under the pretext of suppressing bandits for the sake of food and military pay.

Sheng Quan was also ridiculed by Li Yan's words. When he wanted to wave his subordinates to take action, his confidant ran in and whispered a few words to him.

Sheng Quan put his raised hand on his head, scratched his hair, and sighed: "Hey, I only hope that you and your husband will be harmonious. Why did you misunderstand me? Well, my good intentions are regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs. I am a little kid in vain." people!"

After speaking, he called to his men: "Let's go."

Just kidding, he only brought dozens of people with him, but he brought hundreds. If he really took action, it would be like hanging himself as an old man who is impatient to live.

After he left, Li Yan also took a few steps back, sat on an armchair, and then covered his chest and coughed a few times.

Jiang Yu, who was originally concerned about Xiao Xiu, finally came to his senses when he heard his cough. He hurriedly came to Li Yan, handed him a handkerchief, and then took out a medicine bottle: "Xiu'er, could you please give me this?" General Li, bring me a bowl of warm water."
