UGHHHH!
Li Wei closed his eyes when he heard the loud thumping sound. All he knew was Wei Wuxie who was thrown beside him. The girl sat neatly like a Goddess who was. It was not because of what the matter was, but there was still a sword pointing at his neck. He can't do anything.
Wei Wuxie of course felt unacceptable when she saw the bloodline around Li Wei's collar. "We just need to go back to the palace, don't we?" wei Wuxie asked in a sharp tone.
King Xin Wantang smiled sweetly as he pulled his sword to move away. Xin Wantang put his sword back to his waist. Then, the man raised his hand in an exaggerated style. It made Li Wei feel very irritated.
If he was not in a threatened position right now maybe he would kick Xin Wantang's head.
"That's what they are," Xin Wantang ordered Zhang Yuwen.
Of course it made Zhang Yuwen surprised. The man already dared not look at Wei Wuxie and Li Wei, and now Xin Wantang ordered Zhang Yuwen to tie him up. However, Zhang Yuwen could only comply.
The man lowered his head and helped Wei Wuxie to sit down.
SRETT!
"You just got hurt pretending back then to meet me on the street. But the truth is, when the Li Kingdom fell you were already on the side of Xin Kingdom? I'm right, aren't I?" ask Wei Wuxie the circus.
However, he knew Zhang Yuwen's prowess. That man would not lose easily while leading the war, even if he was not a Great General. However, from all coincidences, Zhang Yuwen was lying on the street and Wei Wuxie who had just caught up with Zhang Yuwen.
If the God of Coincidence was there, it might be Wei Wuxie the most fortuitous person to find Zhang Yuwen.
"I'm really hurt, Wuxie. You think because of what I 'hugged their thighs?" zhang Yuwen asked in a misguided tone.
^^^*Hug the thigh here like a lick and be an ally. So, Zhang Yuwen said he became an ally of Xin Kingdom because he lost the war.^^^
"Did your tongue not hurt from licking in some direction?" asked Li Wei who was feeling very disappointed.
He knew Zhang Yuwen not for a day or two. Li Wei was friends with Wei Wuxie and Zhang Yuwen was already over ten years old. If exchanged for the age of the child may have grown up his child. However, perhaps Zhang Yuwen had his own reasons.
"The princess must really hate me." That was all Zhang Yuwen answered casually.
Zhang Yuwen turned to tie Li Wei's hands together. Despite being on the enemy side, Zhang Yuwen was not being rude to Zhang Yuwen. He bound Li Wei somewhat loosely, and it made Li Wei stare at Zhang Yuwen cluelessly.
What did Zhang Yuwen do?
Li Wei glanced at Wei Wuxie's hand ties, and realized that they were just knots like clothes ribbons. It looks complicated actually, but if it is pulled the end, it will open the bond. This man what exactly was he planning?
If he was caught pretending to ally with Zhang Yuwen's enemies could be cruelly killed!
"Wait."
DEG
Li Wei sat increasingly upright, and he looked at the calm-looking Zhang Yuwen.
"That's him too" King Xin ordered in a mocking tone.
A soldier kicked Zhang Yuwen in the leg to kneel. Then, tie Zhang Yuwen's hands behind his back. Li Wei could see Zhang Yuwen's anger, especially the man was someone honorable. Kneeling for a King like Xin Wantang was an insult.
However, the man was not as chatty as usual.
"Servant daughter, Bao Tian is still in His Majesty's hands. And, Your Majesty is still terrified if the servant runs away?" zhang Yuwen asked in a dismissive tone.
King Xin laughed crisply. "A child who was not recognized by the esteemed Zhang family. It was only fitting that the Zhang family gave the child to be made a guarantee of their safety."
STAVES
However King Xin pulled out his sword to cut Zhang Yuwen's leash. Perhaps the man thought to defeat Zhang Yuwen was quite easy, even though the man was betrayed later.
"Also ..."
King Xin walked towards Li Wei while continuing his words. "That little boy is quite pretty, Zhang Yuwen's official. Unfortunately, she was not as valuable as this Rose Princess. It must have ruined such a beautiful and honorable flower that it was so amazing."
As King Xin stretched out her hand to wipe the beautiful face of Li Wei, ...
Cuihh ...
S*alan Biawak This Lake Water! I'll rip your head off first.
Li Wei spat at King Xin's 'respectful' hand. Wei Wuxie tried to get up from her sitting position, and this made the soldiers on guard prepare to attack. However, King Xin only smiled as he pulled his hand back.
Then, ...
THE PLAQUE!
"Daughter."
Wei Wuxie again intended to get up, but Zhang Yuwen struck Wei Wuxie's leg to sit back down. Right now they can't do anything, or they're going to get more tormented. No one could protect Li Wei who was slapped in the face by King Xin.
But Li Wei was more stubborn than anyone. Despite being slapped once, Li Wei still looked at King Xin hatefully.
"Bad people usually live longer. Not because God dotes on him, but God just wants them to experience the same thing he has done" Li Wei said as he licked the blood flowing at the corner of his lips.
King Xin stared intently at Li Wei and slapped his slap once more. Again Wei Wuxie intended to get up, but Li Wei shook her head. Zhang Yuwen also patted Wei Wuxie on the shoulder to make a gesture.
They really can't do anything now.
Hurting a Royal Princess they respected and cared for was an insult. Plus Li Wei had always been awake, and Wei Wuxie was not afraid to sacrifice her life for Li Wei.
However, right now they are not in a position to rebel. Wei Wuxie could only grit her teeth. Wail over his own powerlessness.
Li Wei pressed his own nails inside the palm of his hand.
Only until he could save his mother and Li Shen.
Once the two of them were safe, Li Wei would kick the man's head. Even if he broke his leg, he would still do it.
That was what Li Wei thought, but he could do nothing now. Even when the soldiers hit the back of Wei Wuxie's head with wood, Li Wei could only shout loudly. Zhang Yuwen also looked surprised, he did not expect that they would hurt Wei Wuxie so hard.
BRUKE!
"Ugh." Wei Wuxie frowned as pain assaulted her head. The man's sight became blurry.
"Wei Wuxie's! What are you guys doing? Don't hurt him" cried Li Wei who was trying to get close to Wei Wuxie.
However, the soldiers dragged Wei Wuxie away from Li Wei who was already hysterically shouting.
Please ... Nay!
The man fell to the ground in a painful manner, but Wei Wuxie's gaze was still directed at Li Wei. It was as if looking at Li Wei at the same warm gaze as usual. However, there was pain there, especially when he saw Li Wei who was usually ground now crying loudly at him.
A Princess that Wei Wuxie had to take care of was now crying. The girl who was supposed to get the best protection, now appeared in a miserable manner. Wei Wuxie had no idea which one was more painful now. His loyalty to Li Wei made him feel inferior when he could not protect Li Wei.
"It's okay, Princess. I'm it's okay. No ..."
Li Wei could see the blood flowing on the ground. Just where Wei Wuxie's head lay, and Li Wei already knew how sick it was. He knew very well that Wei Wuxie was not okay.
"You ... You want to insult me, don't you? Don't hurt Wei Wuxie anymore!" shouted Li Wei who was staring intently at this cruel King Xin.
King Xin shrugged his shoulders. As if he didn't care about Wei Wuxie's safety. "One time you defy me, then one time is also a blow to this General who always looks after you."
This guy is more than crazy!
Zhang Yuwen could not say anything. He could only sit back and grab the weakened Wei Wuxie. Wei Wuxie's blood flowed like it was shed easily. Zhang Yuwen's tears flowed. But he can't do anything.
"Officer Zhang, what are you doing? Do you feel weak when you see your childhood best friend near death?" king Xin asked when he saw Zhang Yuwen protecting Wei Wuxie from the surrounding soldiers.
While Li Wei was still beside King Xin.
Zhang Yuwen took a handkerchief inside his pocket to cover the wound on Wei Wuxie's head. His gaze was still flat, but his hands trembled with restraining the blood flowing from Wei Wuxie's head.
"No, Your Grace. However we can use Wei Wuxie to restrain Princess Li Wei. Killing him would make Princess Li Wei feel free to run away," replied Zhang Yuwen who wiped his own tears.
The blood stuck to his hands made Zhang Yuwen's cheeks stained with blood. Zhang Yuwen's gaze pointed at Li Wei who was as confused as he was. Then, Zhang Yuwen nodded with a face of plea.
They can't go against King Xin's will right now.
King Xin smiled as he gestured for the soldier behind to slash at Zhang Yuwen. "Kill."
Li Wei shook his head quickly. "Don't! All you need is me, s*alan! You can kill me, but not them."
"Daughter." Wei Wuxie was still trying to get up, especially when she heard Li Wei's words.
However, Zhang Yuwen smacked Wei Wuxie's nape to make the man faint. That was all Zhang Yuwen could do for Wei Wuxie to survive. As long as Wei Wuxie was still trying to oppose King Xin, then Wei Wuxie could die at any time. Meanwhile, Li Wei ... Zhang Yuwen was certain that King Xin would not kill him.
"I have a game for you. Unfortunately King Li could not see his beloved Princess pleading as she was now. If he saw her maybe he would feel embarrassed when he refused me to take his daughter as Empress," sneered King Xin who was now rubbing Li Wei's slightly bruised cheeks.
When that Li Wei further injured his own palm to hold back his hatred. It felt very disgusting when the man's hand rubbed his face. Li Wei felt extremely fed up, and wanted to spit again. Li Wei's lips trembled withstanding her own anger, but her eyes felt wet.
"Bring them onto the carriage," King Xin ordered with a triumphant smile.
Li Wei stared at Hua Yifeng's sword that had fallen not far from the bushes where Li Wei had been hiding before. In fact only Hua Yifeng's sword sheath was still tied around her waist. That was why the Xin Kingdom soldiers did not take it. More on they think if the scabbard is useless nothing.
"Master Hua, is it really strange to expect you to come to my aid again? Again," Li Wei said in his heart.
Because, usually Hua Yifeng always comes in the crucial moments. Li Wei always remembered that, because he had once thought that Hua Yifeng seemed to know when Li Wei needed his help. Even so, Li Wei did not want to implicate Hua Yifeng in this matter.
However, even now Hua Yifeng was still unconscious.
Do I have to say goodbye now?
Li Wei only wished for the sword to return to Hua Yifeng.
After all the life or death of Li Wei, if there is still someone protecting the Li Kingdom later.
Might as well.
***
It's just ...
Li Wei still remembered the night before they decided to leave the Ling Xiao residence. The three of them still remembered what Ling Xiao was talking about back then. It was clearly not right to talk about the future of the Li Kingdom.
Especially in times when everyone starts to be skeptical about their own independence.
The residents felt extremely tormented by the suppression of the Xin Kingdom's forces. They came to destroy the City Center. Kill anyone you want. It happened in just three days. Not to mention the strange disease where every wound would become a stone.
They called it an infectious disease because some of the Xin Kingdom troops who came also got the same disease. But viciously King Xin ordered his soldiers to kill anyone affected by the stone disease. Just so no one else gets infected.
In three days everything turned very messy.
However, the divination of Gods had come to Ling Xiao. Although this is only a prophecy and not necessarily a way because it has not happened, but many believe it. Because, usually Royal Forecasters have their own readings.
No one knew if this prophecy was coming, meaning that there was a 'hero' who would free the Li Kingdom from the Xin Kingdom. Even so, when he heard the prophecy, Li Wei thought it was not impossible.
It's just ... Forecasts came, but not on the Li Kingdom lineage, that is, not from a Li. But on someone who has not inherited royal blood in him at all.
An owner of the Demon Tree, Hua Yifeng.
He was someone who became a King in the Li Kingdom. It was said Hua Yifeng would free the Li Kingdom from its destruction, but like the destiny of the Bao clan before it. If they heal the wounds of others, it is not that the wounds are gone, but moved.
With that strange destiny, once again ... Hua Yifeng was destined to free the Li Kingdom from destruction, but it was not nothing, but Hua Yifeng was the one who would be destroyed. What he saves from destruction will make him suffer.
It was destroyed as intended.
Ling Xiao once said to Li Wei, there was Zhang Yuwen and Wei Wuxie as witnesses of his words. Perhaps those two people would also bear witness to Li Wei's destruction.
"Maybe one of you will be the greatest ruin for someone else" Ling Xiao said that night.
Zhang Yuwen who was reluctant to respond chose to scratch his head. However, Wei Wuxie looked at Li Wei. It was not a matter of Li Wei being unsightly or what. However, as Ling Xiao stared at Li Wei.
"What do you mean, Seer Ling? Who's gonna destroy who?" asked Li Wei.
How could people speak with such an elusive meaning? Is it me whose intelligence is squatting, or those who are too smart?
I don't know.
Let's ignore Li Wei's thoughts.
"Hua Yifeng and you, Princess. One day one of you will destroy someone else" Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
Then Ling Xiao continued again, "That's why it's better that you never meet in the first place."
But that doesn't mean that everything in this world can be predicted. If it was like that, Ling Xiao would feel very lonely in his life. Not a thing, but less a surprise. It is not funny to be surprised Ling Xiao is not surprised anymore because he can see the future.
In fact, prophecy is just a blurry point to see the future. So calmly Li Wei said ...
"That will never happen, Oracle Ling."
The words were almost like a prayer.
