People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

a few days later.

Livzon.

"After the Gu Diao was captured, the princes of Donghe began to surrender one after another..."

"Then I guess this battle is about to end..."

"Why do I feel like the young master is still a little unsatisfied?"

"No, I just feel sad..."

Liu Li and Zu Ju leaned against the parapet, watching the armies of the Donghe princes gathering outside Lizhu City in an endless stream, as majestic and high-spirited as a military parade.

But what they actually did was just bowing their heads to the Zhendan court.

"There are too many fence-sitters..." Liu Li licked the corner of his mouth with an unsatisfied look and muttered in dissatisfaction.

The Fuzhou army led by Yin Yin only rested for one night at the foot of Lishan Mountain before they had to withdraw to Lizhu.

Because the garrison left behind in Lizhu could not guard so many prisoners.

The appearance of the dragon of spirit scared the princes of Donghe.

Almost on the next day, some troops expressed their submission to Yinyin.

Some of the princes who still held out hope gave up resistance after the five dragon sons arrived in Lishan.

There are many different opinions among various forces as to why the five dragon sons gathered in Lishan.

But without exception, they all ignored the real culprit.

Liu Li, who was wrapped in bandages and grinning at them.

The truth of the matter was deliberately concealed, and Liu Li would not be stupid enough to tell everything.

There were only three eyewitnesses. Lin Feiyu has been in a coma, and Han Rui and Lin Manyu are almost insane after suffering various blows.

As for the various details, it was difficult for the two to recall them clearly.

He could only barely remember that it was Liu Li who rescued them in the chaos, and then before everyone fell completely unconscious, they were spotted by Yin Yin who was rushing up the mountain.

Although the Zhendan court expressed sympathy for the four.

But Liu Li had a hunch that after this incident, he would most likely be listed as a key suspect by the Zhendan court.

tread--

A slight sound of kicking the wall was heard, and Zhao Song's figure flipped over the wall and landed in front of Liu Li.

"Zhao Song, I now feel that every time you appear, you are here to catch me." Liu Li couldn't help but teased.

Zhao Song frowned when he heard this and said seriously, "Hongying is on the way."

"Are you really going to arrest me?"

"It's still not too late to run now."

Liu Li: “…”

"Forget it... there's no need..."

"I have a clear conscience. No matter how they investigate, they can't find anything wrong with me."

Liu Li let out a long sigh and waved at Zhao Song.

Zhao Song shrugged and changed the subject, "Lin Manyu is awake."

"Awake?" Liu Li thought for a moment, "Aunt, let's go back."

"Just listen to the young master."

The three of them walked down the city wall and headed towards Lizhu's general's mansion.

Compared to Nongchang which was completely destroyed, the buildings in Lizhu were basically intact.

The three of them walked to Lin Manyu's room with ease. Zhao Song stepped back first. He was not very interested in Liu Li's private affairs, so he just led the way.

knock --

"Please come in..."

A female voice with a tone different from Lin Manyun's sounded. Liu Li's expression changed slightly, but he still pushed the door open immediately.

"Hello, Aunt Han."

Liu Li bowed and saluted.

There was a woman in the room who was wearing bandages like Liu Li, and even half of her face was covered with ointment.

"You don't have to be so polite." Han Rui smiled and waved to Liu Li, "Come here quickly, Manyu is awake."

"Is it Liu Li?" Lin Manyu's weak voice came from behind the gauze curtain.

"It's me, Sister Manyu."

Liu Li walked to the bed and looked at Lin Manyu with a smile on her face.

The latter smiled slightly and twisted her neck, as if she wanted to straighten up. Seeing this, Liu Li immediately supported her and advised: "It will take time for your body to recover. Let's take it slowly."

"Hmm..." Feeling the warmth of Liu Li's palm, Lin Manyu's heart calmed down.

She stretched out her hand, and Liu Li lowered his head, grabbed her hand and put it on his face.

"She's almost not like the Xiaoli I remember..."

Lin Manyu kneaded Liu Li's face infatuatedly, tears flashing in her eyes, "I almost thought I would never see you again in this life..."

"No..." Liu Li comforted, "As long as you want to see me, I will definitely come to you."

"Liu Li..."

Lin Manyu choked up and tears almost burst out of her eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Li quickly wiped his tears with her thumb, causing him to burst into laughter.

Han Rui watched all this with mixed emotions.

She and Liu Li had only met twice, and she didn't expect the situation to be so desperate the second time.

Everything that happened on the top of the mountain is still vivid in Han Rui's mind. She experiences it again in her dreams almost every night.

Thinking of the bloodthirsty demon who appeared at the end, Han Rui looked at Liu Li with a deep look in her eyes.

She intuitively felt that Liu Li had a bigger secret, but when faced with Yuan Bo's questioning, she still chose to conceal the last detail.

She knew how obsessed her daughter was with Liu Li, and as a selfish mother, she didn't want to make Lin Manyu sad again.

Of course, another reason was that she was moved by what Liu Li did.

She had never seen a dragon heir risk his life so hard for a mere mortal woman.

The image of Liu Li resisting the Heavenly Thunder Prison is still lingering in Han Rui's mind. The perseverance and persistence he showed are something Han Rui has never seen in her life.

Liu Li’s secret might become a hidden danger, but Han Rui doesn’t care as long as Lin Manyu is happy.

While thinking, Han Rui felt another gaze beside her.

Turning her head, Han Rui met the eyes of Zu Ju, who looked very pleased, and the latter nodded at Han Rui.

Seeing this, Han Rui's lips curled up slightly and she nodded in response.

Although the two mature women did not communicate at all, they seemed to understand what each other wanted to say.

"Zu Canjun, let's hand over the space to the two young men."

Han Rui said softly, then stood up and invited Zu Ju to take a walk together.

Instead of continuing to watch two young people being affectionate with each other, it would be better to find someone of the same age with whom you have common topics to talk about.

Zu Ju didn't expect Han Rui to take the initiative to invite her. After all, the latter's status was out of reach, and she was just an unpopular alchemist.

But after seeing the sincerity in Han Rui's eyes, Zu Ju put aside her doubts.

"Master Han is right." Zu Ju smiled calmly and said softly to Liu Li, "Young Master, I will go shopping with Master Han first."

"no problem."

Liu Li nodded.

After the two left, Lin Manyu asked in confusion: "Mother has always been cold and aloof, why would she want to go for a walk with my great aunt..."

"It should be fine. Both of them are well-educated and reasonable people. There won't be any conflict..."

"That's right."

the other side.

The two people who walked out of the room had changed their names to each other.

"I didn't expect that Zu's younger sister is a few years younger than me. I really misjudged her..."

"Sister Han, you are too kind. It is normal that you can't tell her age with a mask on. Don't take it to heart..."
