Starfall

Chapter 14 Forced to a dead end

On this day, most of the Cang navy packed up its majestic armor, and its sea-blue command was put on its shoulders. He took a look at his son and said earnestly, "Son, Dad must go back to the southwest today, and the military affairs are urgent... Dad told you to pay attention to what you. The rise and fall of the Li family depends on you! Dad has worked hard all his life, and now he doesn't have the heart to fight for anything else. Li Jiaxiong is located in the three counties in the southwest and has a big family. Sooner or later, he will hand it over to your father to save snacks! Did you hear that——”

The last three words of the old general roared like a vicious tiger, which made Li Qingqi's ears buzz.

Li Qiuer was surprisingly poor this time, but focused on it, and did not even dodge his father's sharp eyes. He looked at him and looked extremely calm.

The old general sighed in his heart. Since he said so much to him that night, his son is indeed different. He hasn't even gone out to have fun these days. It's a good thing that he can take back his heart. I'm not afraid that my son is not promising now. After all, he is only 20 years old and young. I'm afraid that he has been so decadent that the Li family will be ruined no matter how much he is.

Seeing that his son had made progress, the old general was in a good mood and felt that he could shoot 500 times, and his eyes on his son were slightly milder.

"Ser, the situation has changed again." The old general slowly walked to the courtyard, followed by Li Qingqi, and a group of armored warriors outside Li's house were ready to go, waiting for the old general to appear.

"The spy arranged by Dad in Shangji City found two ghost scout bodies. The man was killed by his fists, his muscles and bones were broken, and he tied stones and sank into Jiaxiu Lake. It's not an ordinary person to kill the elite scouts of the ghost department so hard! As far as Dad knows, the ghost department is currently in the hands of the second prince. These two ghost departments should secretly protect Princess Ning Zheng or be sent out to find the princess. There is no other explanation!"

Li Qingyu held his father's sword in his hand and listened carefully. Even if you don't understand the general trend, just remember it like this, it will always be useful, won't it?

"Son, you have to hurry up. Since the ghost department sneaked into Shangji City, it shows that the second prince is looking for Princess Ningzheng. Your Majesty wants to set up a crown prince at the end of the year. The eldest prince and the second prince are currently equally prestigious. The second prince wants to try to find Princess Ningzheng and let your majesty write down a contribution for him, so as to suppress the eldest prince... and killed the ghost department. The person should have had contact with Princess Ningzheng. The ghost department wanted to kill but was exposed to be killed. It is not a secret that the second prince of Fanyang is in charge of the ghost department. Since he dares to kill, it shows that the second prince who killed people is powerful in Fanyang... And you have to contact Princess Ningzheng before them. Don't cover it up after finding it. He bowed and said that Li Qingyu, the captain of the Cang navy, welcomed the princess... The momentum should be more powerful and the royal majesty. At that time, Dad will send more warriors to send you all the way back to the imperial capital to ensure that your majesty will be impressed. At the end of the year, when your majesty established the crown prince, he will set the position of your son-in-law by the way. Li With the continuous blessing of the family, you will no longer be afraid of being weak!" The old general specially said in detail so that his son can understand and see the deeper meaning from the appearance of the matter, and can no longer bump into each other like a headless and brainless man.

"Captain Niuhu of the Navy?" Li Qingqi asked.

"In case you really collide with the second prince, you also have an official rank to talk about. Dad knows that few people in the empire can look up to our Li family. If you say that you are the son of Li Siam, I don't think the royal family will buy it. If you have an official position, the royal family will look embarrassed again, it will be too immeasurable. In fact, this official is no different from playing a scoundrel. When his father first joined the army to fight, he asked the court for money, food and soldiers and horses, so he almost didn't lie on the ground and roll around, so he saved his military achievements little by little and climbed to the current position!"

Li Qingqi's face turned red and said excitedly, "How many officers is this Niuhu captain?"

When this boy heard that he was going to become an official, he really showed his true colors. The Li family is not very good, but he is addicted to officials. This is up to himself! The old general laughed and said, "It's not big or small. The five-grade general can call a thousand soldiers and horses."

"Are you the only five?" Li Qingyu's head sag down again.

"Don't be satisfied, stinky boy. Dad is just a second-grade Cang navy. Fanyang's official rank is from the ninth grade 18th grade, and the sixth grade is a hurdle. Most people are trapped below the sixth grade all their lives. You boy casually get a fifth-grade official position. Aren't you satisfied? If this is someone else, you won't be jealous!" The old general laughed happily - his son finally didn't refuse. He used to find something to do for him, but the boy didn't want to kill him. Do you think it's too small to give him a five-grade official position now?

The father and son walked and chatted, and they were almost at the front door. The old general couldn't bear to sigh and seek an official position for his son. It's nothing. Anyway, the Li family's reputation was already stinky, and he was not afraid that those emperors would scold him thousands of miles away. The pen of the reader and the sword and gun of the samurai will be clear if they cut each other and who will live and who will die. People who crawled out of the dead in the battlefield have long been down on their reputation and dignity. It is the greatest blessing to be able to live. Those sour scholars do not understand the truth between life and death, and Li Siam is too lazy to care about them. If they are in the three counties in the southwest, they dare to splash the dirty water of the Li family casually, and they will inevitably peel off and cramps.

If it is only an official position below the sixth grade, the royal family doesn't care about anything. You can directly appoint officials above the sixth grade, and it will have to go through a better procedure. Li Siam can't take care of these 'rules'. If the royal family doesn't follow the rules and wants to strip him of his military power, then he doesn't follow the rules and make a mess. The dog jumps over the wall when he is anxious, not to mention the Cang navy with outstanding military achievements?

Must the minister be faithful to the heart and brain of the royal family? If you want to die, you have to die? Fart! The old general didn't feel that he got his current status because of the gift of the royal family. At the age of 14, he joined the army, killing people and fighting all the way and saving military achievements. Now he deserves this position. Li Siam did not die on the battlefield and did not die in the hands of the enemy, but now he has to be folded in the hands of the loyal royal family? That doesn't make sense!

"Son, Dad has transferred 100 spies of our Cang navy for you to drive. Even the princes, as long as they say kill, they will not hesitate to kill!" The old general stood at the gate and turned around, with his light blue armor shining cold, and his tall figure covered Li Qing Qiu in the shadow. It's just that as a last resort, don't kill the royal family. If you really tear your face with the royal family, our Li family will no longer have a place to stand in Fanyang. It's just that the royal family is becoming more and more unreasonable now. In case they find Princess Ningzheng this time and the princes really want to embarrass you to kill you, then you can't blame us for picking up a brick and killing a biting dog. Dad is only your son. What kind of royal and minister's gift can be greater than father-son affection?

Li Qingqi heard this, shivered and killed the prince? He doesn't dare, really! However, the father standing against the light had a cold face, and his blue eyes were cold, like a beast forced into death, which made him feel cold on his back.

The old general reached out to take the sword in his son's hand and put it around his waist and said, "Son, Dad is leaving now. One hundred spies will arrive soon. With them, Dad believes that there will be no mistakes! You should also believe in yourself, don't be afraid of the royal family, don't be afraid of anything, and dare to do it. Just like before, if you thre the sky, there will be your father to support you!" The old general patted his son on the shoulder and then turned around and walked away.

The general brought horses from the warriors, and the old general stepped up, his command rolled like clouds, and the horse fell unrestrained - which shows the old general's majestic posture in those years. The old man's gray hair finally glanced at his son, squeezed his lips tightly, turned his head and shouted at the warriors behind him: "Go--"

More than 30 people rode away, and the old general Li Siam hurried into the city and left the city. When the old general was in the three counties in the southwest, those loyal ministers who claimed to be clear and did not hesitate to kill him. Some people even claim that as long as they saw Li Siam, they would have to count his domineering crimes over the years, station troops autonomously, did not respect the imperial ceremony, and make him ashamed in full view of the public. He took off his armor by himself, and he was shameless. The navy is unified. But the old general really left the southwest. In this Shangji City, which is the most famous city, no one dares to oppose it. Those who show off their words are also silent, and they don't even show their faces.

The pen of the reader and the knives and guns of the horse-riding generals really want to be cut off each other. The old general asked himself that one person can kill hundreds of scholars. Those hypocritical gentlemen who only know the books of sages are far less profound than the Cang navy that has conquered life and death!

Li Qingqi saw his father leave and stood at the door of Li's house for a long time.

He is recalling his father's words, carefully tasting the truth, and the look that made his back chill - his father has never looked at him with such a crazy, cold and desperate look!

He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he followed his father to watch the execution of a group of barbarians in the southwest. On the execution ground, a death row prisoner laughed wildly in front of the butcher's knife. At that time, he followed his father to stand on the high platform and looked down at the execution ground, and the death row prisoner looked up at the general who was going to kill him from afar, his eyes were like this - desperate and crazy.

He still remembers the prisoner's eyes so far. At that time, he was glanced at by such a ferocious eyes and cringed behind his father and dared not look again. It was not until his father coldly ordered the beheading and the head fell to the ground that he dared to peek from between his fingers. The last crazy eyes of the death row prisoner were frozen on the beheaded head, but they were covered with blood.

Only now do I realize how similar the eyes my father looked at me before his death?

Is the gap between the father and the royal family really in an endless situation? Li Qingqi is not a fool. How can he not hear what his father said to him these days? He is almost against the royal family.

At this time, the royal family is the executioner, and his father is the death row prisoner who is about to beheaded?

Li Qingyu punched the stone lion guarding the gate of Li's mansion, and blood splashed.

Look at the handsome face again, ferocious as a ghost.
