Chapter 53 Out of town

My father is really old, no longer as old as before.

Li Luo recalled that his father once galloped through the desert, leaped over the grassland, and shot and killed evil wolves. This was all that my father once brought to himself, and he also taught himself horse riding. These were all learned from his father. Li Luo remembered how brave and brave and good he used to fight. He used to be the pride of the Yue family. Proud, lead them to kill the enemy bravely, but now, it has entered the twilight. Years of vicissitudes have turned into wrinkles, engraved on his face.

Li Luo looked at his father and couldn't help feeling sad, and his eyes were slightly moist.

"Wang..." Queen Yue's eyes showed sadness. Looking at the King of Yue's, she slowly approached and squatted down.

The king of Yue turned his eyes and looked at the queen. His eyes were full of surprise, but he was more worried. A dry and hoarse voice came from his mouth: "Queen, why are you here? Didn't I ask you and Yueer to stay in the palace?"

"My concubine was worried about the king's safety and couldn't take care of so much, so I had to come to Li'er for help. As for Yue'er, I asked her to stay in the city. Therefore, Wang, we don't have much time. The army of Minyue will soon break through our last city, and I'm afraid that it will be at that time..." The queen covered her face and cried.

"Confused!! Cough, cough~~~" Li Luo saw that his father's face suddenly turned angry. Because of his anger, he coughed violently. Li Luo and the queen saw this, and the two hurried forward. Li Luo gently patted the back of the Yue King and stroked it.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Li Luo looked worried and asked anxiously.

"Wang..." The same is true for the queen. Her worry and anxiety have been written on her face.

The king of the moon just waved his hand gently and tried his best to suppress the surging qi and blood.

"Wang, I'm sorry, I received the news that Wang's camp was attacked at night, and the whole army was destroyed. I really had no choice but to come to Fujian to save people. Although I acted recklessly, I really just wanted to save the king. Even if we are defeated this time, as long as you are here, I believe that one day I will We will find an opportunity to double the counterattack." The Queen's words gradually calmed the mood of the Yue King. He took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath. The mood that had been ups and downs due to anger gradually calmed down.

"I know that the king will blame, but Yueer is still waiting for us in the palace. There is not much time. We can't delay any longer. Get out of this dungeon quickly and go back to the palace with me." Wang said with a little nervousness and anxiety.

"Li'er, help your mother and help your father up."

Li Luo nodded and, together with the queen, tried his best to help the Yue King from the cold and wet ground.

Maybe he sat on the wet and dark ground for a long time. When the Yuewang stood up, he took a step. As soon as his foot fell to the ground, his body was not fully stabilized. He staggered and almost fell forward. Fortunately, he quickly supported her mother, so that the Yuewang could stand firmly on the ground.

"Wang..." The queen held him nervously. There was concern between her kind eyebrows, and there were tears of forbearance in her eyes.

"Father, are you all right?" Li Luo supported him, held the broad palm of Yue Wang tightly, and anxiety and worry surged into his heart.

"It's okay. My father is fine. Don't worry about Li Er. My father can stand it. Let's go." The moon king tried his best to stand up, and his strong body staggered forward step by step with the support of Li Luo and the queen.

Li Luo carefully found that every step taken by the Yue Wang seemed to be particularly difficult, and his leg seemed to be injured in the battle. Li Luo raised his pupils and looked at his father. For two years, I didn't expect to see my father and mother again in such a way. In such an environment and such a situation, even I felt sad. In the past two years, my father was really much older. There were a few gray eyebrows hidden between the temples and eyebrows, and the old face looked extremely tired and haggard. And it is deeply engraved with wrinkles.

Years are ruthless. Looking at the figure of my father who is no longer strong, looking at my father's slightly rickety body, she walked forward step by step with difficulty. Some salty tears gushed out of the corners of her eyes uncontrollably, and she couldn't help being immersed in her eyes. Looking at the vicissitudes of her father and mother's faces, she closed her eyes gently and put all the bitterness. She was deeply sad. Originally, Li Luo thought that she would be very happy after seeing her father and mother again, but when she saw her father today, she realized how cruel the years were. The running-in of time would gradually become old in the imprint of time. This is the remnant left by the years. It would be great if she could go back to the past. If she could gallop in the desert with her father again and hunt wolves, she would rather give up everything in exchange for the happiness and beauty of the past.

However, there are some things in life that can't come back as soon as they are gone, just like those beautiful life in Yue's, those happy and unrestrained days, those sweet and reluctant love, after the printing and dyeing of time, some are deeply buried by the sand in the desert, and some are hidden in the bottom of their hearts and sent forever. Sleeping in a person's heart, however, the only thing that is the same is those taken away by the years. In any case, she can't go back. Li Luo can only find all kinds of things in the cracks of that year, the worry-free and freedom, innocence and happiness she wants most, but she doesn't know that her dreams can only be left in the cracks of the years forever. I got it.

Out of the dungeon, it was almost time. It was dark outside, the dark night, the sky was dark, and there was no stars. Tonight, even the moon did not appear again, as if to avoid disaster. The moon hid itself deeply.

So, they had to continue to walk to the gate with the lanterns hanging high on both sides of the market and their dim light.

Step by step, the gate of the city is getting closer and closer to them. In front of it, there is a carriage parked. Everything has been arranged before the evening. She set up the guards at the gate so that they can open the gate during the period of Hai and the son, so that they can safely send out their father and mother.

The carriage got closer and closer, and gradually it was in front of it.

The queen held the king of the moon, and Li Luo came forward to pull the carriage over and handed the reins of the horse to the queen's hand: "Father, mother, Li'er has arranged everything for you. Let's go quickly."

The queen took the reins handed to her by Li Luo and asked her doubtfully, "Li'er, won't you go back with us?"

Li Luo shook his head and said reluctantly, "No, mother, I must stay. If they find that my father is missing, they will send someone to pursue it. I can stay to stop all this, and the brutality of Luo Mingyue. I can't let him slaughter our people cruelly anymore."

Sett down and Li Luo continued to say, "So, father and mother, you go first. I'll deal with it here. I will do my best to protect our country and our people. Time is running out. When the city gate passes, it will be closed. At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave."

"Li'er..." The queen and the king of the Yue family looked at each other, with a little guilt and a little gratitude on their faces.

Li Luo became more and more anxious and said to the queen, "Mother, father, don't hesitate any more. My sister is still waiting for you. When the things here are over, I will find a way to go back and reunite with my queen and my sister."

"Okay, after you promise your mother, you must come back safely." Queen Yin Yin looked at Li Luo, with expectations in her eyes.

They nodded heavily and agreed.

The queen and Li Luo supported the Yue King into the carriage. Before leaving, the queen bowed deeply to Li Luo.

Li Luo was so scared that he quickly came forward to hold her, with a little anger in his tone: "Mother, what are you doing? Didn't you put your daughter in a place of unfilial piety?"

Li Luo helped her up, but the queen seemed to have some unspeakable secrets. She sighed in her heart and looked at Li Luo Wenyan and said, "Li'er, you should accept this bow. This represents the gratitude and apology of your mother and your father. This is what we owe you."

"Why does the mother say that? You are the relatives of Li'er's life. You never owe anything to Li'er. On the contrary, you are Li'er. So far, you have not been able to accompany you and can't do your filial piety. It should be that Li'er is ashamed of his father and mother."

After seeing her mother, Li Luo was already full of tears and wiped her face. She looked at Li Luo lovingly, showing a kind and gentle smile. Her voice was soft. Her hands gently stroked Li Luo's cheeks and helped her slightly sort out her messy hair: "My Li'er has really grown up. She is not the one who knows only two years ago. The child who acts coquettishly beside the mother, the mother will wait for you to come back with your father and your sister.

Li Luo nodded: "Okay, mother, I promise you that you will come back safely. You can leave as soon as possible with your father. No matter how late it is, I'm afraid you can't leave the city."

The sky is getting darker and darker. Looking at the sky, there is a trace of worry. It's already late at night. Why is the day rolling? There seems to be signs of rain.

Fearing that it would rain in the middle of the night, Li Luo urged her mother to get into the carriage quickly.

"Mother, you can reach Yueshi all the way north, father, mother, be careful all the way, take care on the way." As Li Luo said, his eyes began to turn.

"Li'er, take good care of yourself. We'll wait for you back at Yue's."

"Um" Li Luo looked at his father and mother sitting in the carriage and turned his head heavily.

"Drive!" After that, with a long shout, the queen drove the carriage, and the wheels at the bottom of the carriage ran forward quickly, lifting up a cloud of dust behind her.

Li Luo stood in place, a small figure, standing under the city, silently looking at their departure. Even if he was reluctant to leave, he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that his father and queen could leave safely all the way.
