Chapter 166 Li Wenluo's Choice
On the south gate of the imperial capital, Li Jin paced back and forth outside the door of a room.

At this time, Zhou Yixuan was the only one accompanying Li Jin.After all, the members of the Dragon Cavalry Army still had a lot of military affairs to deal with, and they had already been called together by the temporary military meeting convened by Li Wenshu.

"Based on the information we have so far, Xiaoqin's life should not be in danger for the time being." Li Wenshu thought for a while before speaking first, "Since the other party has kidnapped Xiaoqin, they won't directly kill her. "

Li Shuyi had been commanding troops in the imperial capital before, and it was the first time he returned to the city gate tower. When he heard such news, he also had a sullen face: "Since Li Jin has confirmed that it is the ghost of Mieshigong, then their purpose Do you want to use Miss Xiaoqin as a threat?"

"We haven't heard from the other party so far. It stands to reason that Xiaoqin has been in their hands for so long, why is there no response at all?" Li Wenshu said with some doubts, "There is another question, if the other party really Qin is threatening her as a hostage, shall we agree? Or how much compromise can we make?"

Everyone was silent, staring intently.The two brothers Li Liang and Li Yu looked at their father.

Li Wenluo stood with his hands behind his back, but he didn't make everyone wait.He opened his bloodshot eyes and said calmly: "Dragoons, you won't make any compromises just because of a child."

Li Wenshu sighed secretly, as if he had already guessed the decision of the head of the Li family.

"Father?!" Li Liang and Li Yu were shocked.

This time, Li Yu, who was calm and indifferent, also became anxious: "Father, that's Xiaoqin!"

"Shut up." Li Wenluo still said in a calm voice, "Xiaoqin is a member of my Li family, and everyone in the Dragoon Army is also a member of our clan. Everyone has the obligation to sacrifice for the family, but Unfortunately today, it's Xiaoqin's turn."

Li Yu opened his mouth slightly, looked at his father in disbelief, and said after a long time: "Even if I can understand your helplessness, Father, it's impossible for Xiaojin. It's not that he won't forgive you and your family for the decision you made. , I'm afraid he won't forgive himself!"

Li Wenluo thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid Li Jin's current state is not suitable for continuing to participate in the war. Let him rest for a while. Shu Yi, find a chance later and seal his soul pet space, don't Let him run around."

Li Shuyi clasped his fists silently.

"Father! Let's not talk about Xiaoqin for now, you don't know what Xiaojin means to the family, do you? If he is separated from the family because of this—" Li Yu wanted to continue to fight, but unexpectedly a voice came from behind him.

"Whether that stinky boy is devastated because of this, or he turns against my Li family because of this, that is his own choice!"

All the generals looked back and quickly saluted: "Second Elder!"

The second elder waved his hand and looked at Li Yu: "There is no shortage of geniuses on the mainland, even you are one of them. But most of these so-called geniuses fell like meteors, and few of them succeeded in the end. If Brat, he can't pass this level, anyway, I don't look down on him at all."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Wenluo who was silent at the side: "You are a qualified head of the family. Big brother blocked Wen Han, Wen Yun, and even Wen Shu back then, and forced you to sit in this position. How dare you You didn’t disappoint him either. However, you should call the military doctor first and treat the wound.”

Li Yu was startled, was his father injured?When did this happen?
Only Li Wenshu, who was standing next to Li Wenluo, remembered something, looked at the hands behind Li Wenluo, and realized that his fists were clenched tightly, and the short nails were still stuck in the palm of his hand, dripping blood.

"However, I also want to be a qualified father once and live up to my children." Li Wenluo looked straight at the second elder, "Li Jin can't participate in the action, and I will take his place."

"Homeowner!"

"you?"

"Father!?"

Everyone was shocked.

They all knew that in the original plan, Li Jin's mission was dangerous, but it wasn't really very dangerous. Of course, the premise was that Li Jin carried out the mission carefully.Li Wenluo was worried that Li Jin would mess around with desperate thoughts, so he no longer wanted him to continue participating in the war, but now it seems that the one who wants to mess around should be the head of the Li family, right?

"Is this the real reason why you want to put that brat under house arrest?" The Second Elder looked deeply at Li Wenluo.

"No one can stop a father from working hard for his children." Li Wenluo took a deep breath and said.

"A good father and a good patriarch, you can't have both." The second elder continued to look at him.

"After this battle, I will go back to the ancestral hall to receive my punishment." Li Wenluo didn't even think about it, he glanced around the crowd and continued, "If I unfortunately die in battle, I hope the two elders and the generals in the army will consider the future of the next patriarch. Candidate. I recommend Wenyu."

Is this the beginning of an account of the funeral?Li Yu's heart trembled, and he became anxious again: "Xiao Jin's vacancy will naturally be filled by me, father, you—"

"Don't worry, I didn't just want to die." Li Wenluo snorted coldly, "I didn't kill those clowns in Mieshi Palace, and I didn't kill that shit Holy Envoy, how could I die so easily."

"I appreciate Uncle's kindness to do the work for you. But I never thought of giving up like this." At this time, another voice came from the side.

Everyone turned their heads and found that Li Jin was walking slowly, and there was an old man beside him, but the poison doctor who hadn't seen him for a long time left him alone.

"Xiao Jin!" Li Yu called out first.

Li Jin nodded at him, and introduced him to the generals of the Dragon Riders: "This is a senior poison doctor." Then he introduced the generals of the Dragon Riders for death, but he was quickly ignored and couldn't remember so much People interrupted.

"Senior Poison Doctor." Li Wenshu saluted indifferently, "Dare to ask about Li Qiu's injuries..."

"When the old man goes out, the King of Hades has to stay away." Siwu snorted, "The little fat man was just hit by Mo Lin's random palm, and he should be in the state of soul pet possession at that time, otherwise he would not be able to drag him at all." When the old man arrives, he will die hard."

What made him persist until then should be donkey meat pies, right?There was a sudden slander in the hearts of the generals.

But no matter what, Qiuqiu's fate was saved, and the cloud over everyone's heads dissipated a lot.Especially Li Jin, he seems to have recovered at this time.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then left to dispense medicine for Qiuqiu, while Li Jin stayed and continued the topic just now.

"It's obviously unrealistic for Uncle not to take command and support in the middle." Li Jin said straight to the point, "And I don't think Mieshigong will use Sister Xiaoqin to blackmail us. Otherwise, it has been so long, why is there still no news from the other side? came?"

Everyone was suffocated, and suddenly realized this problem.

"Xiao Jin, are you referring to the situation Li Yan said?" Li Yu naturally knew what Li Jin meant.But he believes that no matter why Mieshigong was interested in Li Qinqin in the first place, since he succeeded, there is no need not to threaten her now.Now that this is the case, there is a possibility.

Sure enough, Li Jin nodded and said: "Now it seems that Mieshi Palace attaches more importance to Li Qinqin than the current battle situation, and even surpasses the coveting of the entire Hanyun Empire. If this is the case, I am afraid that Xiaoqin will My sister has long been far away from the imperial capital, and has even left the territory of the Hanyun Empire."

"How is it possible? What is the situation?" Now it was Li Wenluo's turn to be puzzled.

So Li Yu told the generals the information that Li Yan confessed to at the beginning.This is not over yet, Li Jin took over the topic again: "Do you still remember the last time sister Xiaoqin escaped from the Dragoon Army barracks, and then she had an adventure in the Qinggang Mountains, and finally we met at the Renxiang post?"

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" Li Yu nodded, wondering.

"Actually, that time, sister Xiaoqin was captured by Mieshigong once." Li Jin finally revealed the fact that Li Qinqin was captured by Sister Baili back then.

"So you were the one who rescued Xiaoqin from Mieshigong?" Li Wenluo was surprised at first, and then angrily said, "Then why did you help Xiaoqin hide this matter?"

"She was afraid that uncle would worry about her, so she took her back." Li Jin touched his nose and said helplessly, "At that time, I thought that the person had already been rescued, so there was no need to worry about it, so I helped her hide it."

Li Wenluo's face darkened immediately: "It's true... If I knew about that at the time, I would have taken Xiaoqin back. But if that was the case, why would Xiaoqin be taken away now? It's all because of you!"

Li Jin rubbed his nose apologetically: "Sister Xiaoqin was taken away, I really blamed me for letting my guard down. I never imagined that the Holy Envoy of Mieshigong would be outside the city at that time, and he would also meet Sister Xiaoqin. Regarding this, I accept the punishment, as long as I don’t cancel my mission.”

"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence."

The second elder shook his head and looked at Li Jin: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. Since girl Xiaoqin has been exposed to the enemy's eyes, even if she was sent back to Tianji City, she might be taken away by someone with a heart. Don't forget Li Yan was still there at that time. As for this time... I guess that the envoy had already arrived when you were still at the west city gate, hiding nearby and watching secretly. Even if girl Xiaoqin hadn't separated from you, he probably would have I will find an opportunity to make a move.”

"That man planned it long ago and wanted to take Xiaoqin away!" Li Yu suddenly realized, and all the generals nodded secretly.

The second elder observed the uncertain faces of Li Wenluo, Li Jin and Li Yu, and continued: "Now it seems that if the brat's analysis is not bad, then the matter of Xiaoqin girl has little impact on the current battle situation. .According to Lao Tzu, everything should go according to the original plan! Wen Luo, girl Xiaoqin’s soul slip is still in Tianji City, right? Order someone to keep an eye on it.”

Li Wenluo was silent.

The second elder walked to Li Wenluo's side and patted him on the shoulder: "Fight a good fight and settle the matter here. Then we can free up our hands to solve the matter of Xiaoqin girl! My girl in Tianji City, how about you?" These shady mice can be bullied?"

This time, Li Wenluo, Li Jin and Li Yu all nodded fiercely.
