Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

Chapter 296: The heart wants to die, but the hands have other ideas? Horror!

"He's not loyal." Lu Jingmo looked at the city gate with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of helplessness, "He's just keeping his promise."

When Wuwang saved his wife, he must have put forward conditions, and this condition is also the reason why he is being held hostage today.

Li Yi is a man of his word. If he is forced to break his promise, he will probably be in great pain even if he is alive.

"Promises can be good or bad, depending on the occasion and the event. Wouldn't General Li give it some thought? Is he that stupid?"

Xie Huanzhu couldn't understand how someone could not think flexibly?

"Huanzhu, it is respectable for a person to keep his promises. Even if the promises he keeps are a bit absurd, you should not look down on him."

Lu Jingmo looked a little serious. Lu Yuan stroked her little head and explained in a gentle voice:

"Huanzhu, everyone cares about different things. Maybe in your eyes, it's just a promise. If it's broken, it's broken.

But in General Li's eyes, it was not about breaking a promise, but about breaking his heart."

"Well, let me give you another example. If someone thinks I deserve to die, will Huanzhu be angry?"

"Who! Which one?" Xie Huanzhu clenched his fists, looking like he was looking for someone to fight.

Lu Yu chuckled, "See! You got angry just by hearing about it. But in the eyes of others, I, Lu Yu, am just a woman. It doesn't matter if I die."

"This is because people care about different things. You think I am important, but others don't."

"Similarly, General Lee would rather die than betray his promise, because this is something he cares about and he doesn't want to destroy it."

Lu Yu pinched Xie Huanzhu's still angry cheeks and said, "If someone asks Huanzhu to kill me one day, what will you do?"

"I will kill the person who asked for it." Xie Huanzhu became even angrier. How could her sister make such an analogy?

Even if she died, she would never do anything to her sister...

Suddenly, she understood that this was the situation with General Li. If that "promise" represented her sister, and she herself was General Li, then she would also choose to die rather than destroy her sister.

She looked at her grandfather and then at her sister, and they both smiled and nodded at her.

General House

Li's army gathered all the generals in the study. They were all very nervous, not knowing whether to fight this war and how to fight it.

General Li Yi, who was sitting at the top, glanced at the brothers who had followed him through life and death, one by one, with reluctance in his eyes.

Tongzhou is a border town bordering Mongolia. Because of the peace treaty signed, there are no major battles, but minor frictions occur frequently.

The Li family army never dared to slack off, and they trained diligently every day to guard this land.

He actually liked this responsibility very much, but today, he had to let it go.

He sighed in his heart. He had been wondering what kind of person Wuwang was for a long time.

If you say that he is a compassionate person, then you can say that. After all, he has really saved many people, and he himself knows quite a few of them.

But such a kind-hearted person secretly did such evil things as using the corpse formation, and even committed treason and killed the emperor.

Although there is no clear evidence that he killed the previous emperor, based on the news from the capital, anyone with a bit of common sense would know what happened.

Li Yi was at a loss. Privately, he didn't want to get involved, but he couldn't because he had boarded Wuwang's ship many years ago.

Now that Duke Lu has arrived with the Qilin Guard, this is a good thing. As long as he dies, the Li family army will not have to obey Wuwang.

"General, what did you talk about with the Duke just now?" After entering the study for a long time, Li Yi said nothing and was just lost in thought. Someone couldn't help but ask.

Li Yi came back to his senses, and after some consideration, he said, "The Duke only gave this general two choices."

"What choice?"

"Either ignore everything or fight!"

The generals looked at each other. This was a good thing. They just needed to ignore it.

"General, everyone knows that the current emperor is not in a legitimate position. There is no need for us to protect him."

"It's not the emperor's problem, it's Wuwang's problem."

The generals and soldiers also thought of the relationship between their general and Wuwang, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Li Yi: "It is this general and the Li family army who owe Wuwang. It has nothing to do with you."

"As long as this general..."

"General, you can't do that!" A general realized what he meant and interrupted him.

Others also reacted and tried to persuade him.

"General, as long as Duke Lu wins, you won't have to bear unnecessary threats."

Li Yi shook his head and looked at the person who spoke. "You are wrong. Wuwang did not threaten this general. It was just that when he saved my wife and children, Wuwang asked this general to always stand behind him in the future."

"If I betray him now, maybe no one in the world would say anything to me, but I can't get over it."

"After all, he really did me a favor." A great favor at that.

Having said this, everyone understood the general's determination, and all the generals lowered their heads.

They all knew their general's character well. He was a man of his words and would do what he promised.

Now he was in a dilemma and could only pay with his life.

In fact, if you think about it, his personality can be said to be very decisive, or he can be said to be pedantic.

Someone still refused to give up and advised: "General, you should also think about the lady and the young masters."

Speaking of his children, Li Yi felt extremely sad. His youngest daughter hasn't even married yet, and without him as her father, it would be difficult for her to get married.

However, being alive is better than anything else.

"Alright, stop talking. I have already made my decision. The Li Army will be handed over to my son. You should assist him well."

"Dad, my son is still young and cannot take on the role. Please take back your order." As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in, carrying another man on his back.

"Master!"

The man on the guard's back nodded to the generals and his eyes fell on his father.

"My Lord, be careful with your legs."

Li Yi: "How is your leg injury?"

Li Zongze slapped his leg vigorously and said, "Much better now. I can walk with the support of a cane. I was in a hurry to get here just now, so I had someone carry me here."

"Dad, your sacrifice actually has no meaning at all. Why did you sacrifice it in vain?"

Li Yi didn't want to say much. No one could understand his mood. He was once so desperate, but it was Master Wuwang who gave him hope.

Now that he has to betray him for the sake of Li's army, he should pay with his life.

"Everyone, go down! Remember, nothing else matters. You just need to guard Tongzhou."

"father……"

"Stop talking, and get out."

"This is an order!" Li Yi pulled out a sword hanging on the wall and put it against his neck.

"Do you want the Li family army to be completely wiped out?"

As long as he is alive, Li's army will be invincible and will eventually be defeated by the Qilin Guards.

Outside the study, Li Zongze's eyes were red. If it came to paying off the debt, it should be him.

After all, he is the direct beneficiary.

Some of the generals were crying, while others were beating the ground and beating their chests.

"what……"

Suddenly a scream was heard in the study. A general kicked the door open and saw a scene that puzzled him.

The general who was about to commit suicide raised his sword and tried to cut his neck with it, but it seemed that some force controlled his hand and prevented him from cutting his neck.

How is this going?

Others also rushed in, all confused. Did the general want to die, but his hands had other ideas?

A bit scary!
