Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Sang Fuqing did have a nightmare.

But it's about Li Huoyue.

He dreamed that he personally gave Li Huoyue to a prince. Later, the last time he saw her was in a sacrificial tripod.

Her limbs were wounded to varying degrees by the halberd, some of the wounds were so deep that the bones were visible. The torture continued, and the laughter of the guests could be heard all around her.

She looked from the bottom of the tripod at him who was also holding a halberd, and suddenly smiled, as brightly as she had when she was still with him.

Like the scorching sun, like flowers.

He couldn't bear to look at her any longer, so he pierced through her smile with his halberd.

Sent her off for the last time.

Sang Fuqing was still a little dazed when he woke up. He believed that these images must have been the path he and Li Huoyue were supposed to take.

This was a reminder from God to him not to make the same mistake again.

Just as I was thinking about how to avoid such an outcome, Xu Jiao'er's question came from behind:

"Oh? What kind of nightmare did Brother Qing have? Jiao'er will help you analyze it~"

Correct!

I have a darling!

As long as Jiao'er and I get married, wouldn't that prevent Miss Li's final fate? !

An idea came to his mind, and he immediately grabbed Xu Jiao'er's hand and said, "Jiao'er! We must get married!"

Xu Jiaoer was stunned, and her original worries disappeared.

She threw herself into Sang Fuqing's arms and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Li Huoyue opened his eyes at dawn.

It felt like she had barely touched the pillow one moment and was getting out of bed the next.

I washed my face with cold water, forced my brain to turn on, washed and dressed, then headed towards Lao Si's study.

On the way, she met Lao Er who happened to be passing by. He handed her two cakes and smiled warmly, like the morning light.

He asked, "I made the pancake myself, how does it taste?"

Li Huoyue took the cake and paused, wanting to return it, fearing that after eating it he would be asked to pay her, or to help with something.

The second son is a businessman and is not good at making cakes.

Good at drawing cakes.

"Which shop is it and what's the problem?" Li Huoyue held the pancake without eating a bite. As long as Lao Er said there was really something wrong, she would return it immediately.

The second brother smiled helplessly. This girl is quite cautious.

He patted her head gently and said:

"Nothing, I just saw that you've been working hard these days, so I learned a new flavor to reward you. Eat it quickly, or you'll be gone if Lao Wu sees you."

Li Huoyue was not very reassured, but she didn't want to refuse other people's kindness, so she took two bites tentatively and found that it was indeed delicious and inexplicably suited her taste.

"It's delicious. What's added? It has a nice fragrance."

Li Huoyue affirmed it.

The second brother carefully observed Li Huoyue's expression and found that she really liked it, but he still found it a little unbelievable. Is there really anyone who thinks it tastes good?

"It's peppermint."

Whose cookies are mint flavored? They taste so weird!

"It's quite innovative! How did you think of putting this in there?" The pancake was not big, and Li Huoyue finished it in a few bites. "But it's not suitable for sale. I guess few people will appreciate it."

"Indeed, so you are the only one who has it." The second brother nodded, and when Li Huoyue finished eating, he spoke again, "By the way, I have something to ask you recently... Eh?! Why are you running so fast?!!"

Li Huoyue replied from a distance: "Hurry up! They are probably waiting!"

I knew this cake couldn’t be eaten!

When we arrived at the fourth brother's study, everyone was there this time.

Although the third brother was sleeping on the table, at least he was there this time.

As soon as he saw the third brother, Li Huoyue became furious and walked up to him and hit him on the back of the head.

The third brother was sleeping soundly, but he was frightened by the sudden attack and jumped up.

His eyes weren't even open yet, but his body was already in a defensive position. His movements were smooth and it seemed like he had practiced a lot.

The others were also startled. They didn't know what the third brother had done to make Li Huoyue angry.

"It's ok that you're just a good-for-nothing outside, but now you dare to play with anyone!" Thinking of what happened last night, Li Huoyue picked up the book at hand and hit the third brother twice, "What kind of a good thing is that King Liang? You don't deserve to be called Li if you play with such a person!"

“Wow wow wow!!!” The third brother shouted while hiding, “Sixth brother, Sixth brother!!! I’m your brother!!! I’m your third brother!!!”

"So what?"

"You are a younger sister, how can you hit your brother?!"

"Did I hit you enough?"

"Listen to yourself, are you talking like a human? Awooo——"

After Li Huoyue had had enough, everyone started discussing last night's topic.

The fourth brother briefly explained the situation to the third brother, who was confused: "Let's discuss whether to go to Prince Liang's mansion? Didn't the sixth brother go there last night?"

Everyone looked at Li Huoyue, who nodded: "I thought the alliance would take action today, so they should have deployed last night. Even if they didn't deploy, they would have inspected it to see if there were any omissions."

The fourth one nodded and agreed: "Indeed, indeed."

"But I didn't notice anyone. It was like..." Li Huoyue thought for a moment, "It was like it was deliberately avoiding me."

"But didn't you use the prop card yesterday?" The third brother said. Although he was immune to prop cards, it was not difficult to guess from the reaction of Liang Wang, "The people in the alliance don't know you, why are you hiding on purpose?"

Lao Wu also spoke up: "Yeah, that makes sense, unless they know in advance when you're coming."

Li Huoyue herself knew best that she went there completely on a whim.

At first, I felt a little tired and planned to skip eating and just take a shower and go to bed.

Later, I was so angry that I couldn't sleep, so I just went out to catch the person and ask him directly.

But I didn’t expect to meet anyone, let alone catch them.

Since it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, how could they have known that she was going to go there and evacuate everyone in advance?

"Are we still going to Prince Liang's Mansion today?" asked the fourth brother.

Li Huoyue felt that what happened last night was a bit too strange and didn’t want to go again today.

No one spoke immediately, indicating that everyone thought they shouldn't go again.

At present, the mother has not sent out a distress signal, which proves that she is temporarily safe. Although everyone is anxious, they also know that if they are accidentally discovered and considered to be involved in these organizations, the entire Li family will be gone.

Just as everyone was thinking hard, the second bell on the study door rang.

The fourth brother used his eyes to signal the fifth brother to open the door.

The fifth brother was helpless. After all, he was the younger brother and he didn't dare to order his sister around, so he was the only one who had to do this job.

After opening the door, Lao Wu went to the courtyard gate to check it out, then came back and looked at Li Huoyue and said, "Why don't you go and take a look? I'm afraid that woman from the Sang Mansion will continue to fool you. You might have to live with Xu Zhuangyuan forever."

"What is she doing here?" The boss snorted coldly.

Li Huoyue rubbed his temple and said, "Mother is not in the house, could it be that father is receiving the guests?"

Lao Wu nodded.

Before leaving the study, Li Huoyue remembered something and asked the third brother, "Third brother, did anything happen between you and Sang Fuqing's brother yesterday?"
