Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Much of what happened today cannot be told.

Including some of Li Huoyue’s own reasoning and doubting process, because that was based on the admission that he was a time traveler.

After thinking for a while, she picked out the key information and said:

"There is an organization in Kyoto. Today, I saw my mother's item mark on a member of the organization."

"Organization?" The fourth brother was a little confused. "What organization? What does it do?"

Li Huoyue found his own seat, sat down, and said, "I don't know the name, it's probably called the XX Alliance, and the organization's daily work should be to help time travelers."

"Time traveler?" The fourth brother had heard of him. After all, his father was the Special Inspector. "Is he the one who made his father do nothing every day and eat the emperor's food?"

Even though the fourth brother was an expert at collecting and selling information, he had investigated his father, but the results he obtained were only sporadic and he couldn't piece together anything complete.

As for time travelers, they only know that there is such a term, but they have no idea what a time traveler is.

"I don't know what this organization does specifically. I've never heard of it before." Li Huoyue said evasively, "But they will take action in Liangwang Mansion tomorrow."

"You see this organization has the mark of the mother's prop, so is the mother in this organization?" the boss began to ask.

Li Huoyue replied: "I'm not sure, but the chances are very high."

"What supports your conclusion?" The second child asked again, "Just because there is a mark of a mother's prop?"

"It's not enough?" The fifth brother shrank aside. He usually wouldn't speak when all his brothers were present. "It's not like mother would just give away her props."

There is some truth in what the fourth brother said.

My mother's system is a lazy one. It doesn't show up most of the time and doesn't like to issue tasks. It is also quite difficult to accumulate points, and it is even more difficult to use points to redeem props.

Therefore, props are extremely scarce and rare, and naturally they will not be given away casually.

"Are you going to visit Prince Liang's Mansion tomorrow?" The eldest brother speculated on Li Huoyue's next move.

Li Huoyue nodded and said, "I must go and find out the situation, but I haven't thought of a specific solution yet."

Afterwards, the group discussed for a few more sentences, without coming to any major conclusion, but at least the direction became clearer.

Seeing that it was getting late, several people decided to adjourn the meeting, take a break, and continue the discussion early tomorrow morning.

Li Huoyue also felt a little tired. After the meeting, he planned not to eat and just have a good sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the servant came to report that the master wanted to see him.

"Tell him I'm a little tired. If it's not urgent, we can talk tomorrow."

The servant was a little embarrassed, but he still dutifully conveyed the message: "The master said that this is a very important matter, please be sure to go over and take a look."

Li Huoyue sighed: "Well, lead the way."

It was a dark sky and it was raining heavily. Li Huoyue hurried to his father's yard holding a bamboo oil-paper umbrella.

Since houses in Kyoto are extremely expensive, even though the Li family lived outside the city, they did not dare to open their wallets and spend a fortune to buy a large mansion.

Therefore, although there are many people in Li's mansion, it is not particularly large. If you quicken your pace, you will arrive at the gate of Li's father's courtyard in about a quarter of an hour.

As soon as I entered, I saw Mr. Li walking around a round table from a distance.

When I got closer, I saw several piles of books on the table. Judging from their format, they looked like official documents that he was recording on a daily basis. It was obvious that he was very anxious about something.

"Father." Li Huoyue saluted and glanced at the table, somewhat worried that this unreliable father wanted her to help sort out official documents. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Whatever Li's father was thinking was clearly shown on his face. When he saw Li Huoyue coming, he breathed a sigh of relief without hiding it: "Finally you're here. I have something to ask of you."

Li Huoyue said without any empty politeness: "Father, you know I don't have time to help you sort out your junk recently."

Father Li waved his hand and dismissed the servants with a serious look on his face. From the looks of it, it seemed that only the father and daughter were left in the room.

The fourth brother's secret guards and the confidants left by his mother who were hiding in the dark immediately became excited when they saw this situation.

Father Li sighed, carefully considered his words, and then said, "I want you to play the role of a time traveler and get close to King Li."

Li Huoyue: “??? What role???”

Li Huoyue wanted to laugh when he heard this. This old Deng really knows how to pick people.

Since the time traveler was mentioned, Li Huoyue took the opportunity to "clear the scene".

The random appearance of time travelers is still a secret and should not be known by too many people.

"Play the role of a time traveler." Father Li repeated, patting the pile of books beside him, "This is all the information and data about time travelers that I have collected since I became a special inspector. Don't think it seems a lot, but you have a good brain, so you should be able to memorize it in three days."

I have a healthy brain, not a sick brain!

Facing his father, Li Huoyue swallowed all the curse words he wanted to say.

"What's wrong with King Li? Do you need someone to pretend to be a time traveler to approach him?" Li Huoyue didn't say whether he agreed or not, but asked the purpose of doing so first.

Father Li knew that Li Huoyue would definitely ask this question, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He had just made a request, and the next question came directly to him. The ambiguous answers he had prepared were completely useless.

"Ah... this, this is it. I want to know if King Li is really that thing... but King Li is that thing... ah, you know it, right?"

Li Huoyue listened for a long time but couldn't understand anything. The key words were not clearly pointed out and the information was too fragmented.

"Father is speaking more and more like a leader now." Li Huoyue interrupted his father's messy answer sarcastically, "I don't have the time or interest in this matter, and I don't think it's appropriate for me to go. Father, please find someone else."

After saying that, Li Huoyue turned around and was about to leave. After she stepped into the courtyard, she didn't even think about sitting down.

"Your Majesty's intention!"

Seeing that Li Huoyue was really about to leave, Li's father, who was anxious but still wanted to pretend, directly stated the point.

Li Huoyue paused and turned back slowly: "Your Majesty?"

Then he shook his head: "It's impossible that His Majesty asked me to go."

"Even if His Majesty really needs such a person, he would not choose me to do it."

Father Li was really afraid of his daughter. She had never even seen the emperor, so how could she guess so accurately?

Looking at Li's father's expression, Li Huoyue was really angry and speechless. Obviously, the whole family was very smart, but he was the only one who didn't fit in.

"Father, have you forgotten that I was supposed to marry into the Sang family next month? If I approach Prince Li now...

What a great idea!

Do you think Li Wang is willing to take the risk to get close to me?

Or do you think your in-laws can swallow their anger?

Or can the Li Mansion withstand the rumors from the outside world?"

Li Huoyue spoke slowly and steadily, with a hint of laughter in his voice, but it was full of sarcasm, which choked Li's father, who was not very good at speaking, and started to walk around the table again.

Even though the eldest sister-in-law went to make trouble today, at least the reason was on the Li family's side.

Li Huoyue really followed his father's request to get close to Prince Li. If the marriage is called off, the family fortune will be lost.
