Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"What if I die in their hands later?" The second brother asked, shaking his head, recalling the Alliance's style and analyzing it, "I think it is highly unlikely that they will kill me."

"No."

Li Huoyue also shook his head and reorganized his words.

She lightly described the emotions she had suppressed at the time:

"I'm just afraid that I'll be too slow, and if I'm a little late, I might cause you to suffer some injustice."

The second brother was stunned. He had never heard Li Huoyue say such words before. Even if she was coaxing him, he had never seen her express her worries so frankly.

"Except for Old Five, you are the one who is most afraid of pain in the mansion."

A gust of wind blew past, as if passing directly through the body through the pores.

He realized that this sentence meant that Li Huoyue was not worried about the "big picture" or anything very important.

According to Li Huoyue's usual rational and almost ruthless way of thinking, he is more likely to think "how can I plan to rescue my second brother earlier and avoid his death", or "if my second brother dies, what to do next".

Instead of... "I have to save my second brother as soon as possible because he is afraid of pain."

This worry is mixed with emotion, unlike other worries.

There wasn't any fluctuation in the tone that could make people feel burdened, but it made people feel their eyes sore.

"Since I was a child, you have said that I have an emotional deficiency and treated you like strangers."

"But it's different now. I know it myself. How can we still be like strangers after living together for so long? The other day when I went to see His Majesty, before I stepped into the Wende Hall, I was thinking, what if I was suddenly beheaded for no apparent reason? I didn't even have the time to say goodbye to everyone in the palace..."

"I thought, maybe I am growing up. Not only am I taller, I am also stronger."

Li Huoyue played the emotional card very well, and the second brother was almost stunned.

"No matter how many risks I have taken during this period, my purpose has always been to protect this family and everyone in the mansion. But now, the relatives I have tried so hard to protect are unwilling to answer even a small question I asked. I don't understand..."

"We are a family, right?"

Li Huoyue's last question hit the nail on the head.

Yes, they are a family, close relatives who have lived together for so many years.

However, just as he was about to speak, the disappeared Jiang Yunshu appeared from somewhere, stood on the side of the road, shouting and waving.

Li Huoyue looked back at the Sixth Princess in the wheelchair. Without the lantern, her facial expression was not very clear in the darkness.

There was only a pair of eyes staring blankly forward, with a little light in them.

It seems like he is envious, but also seems like he is sad.

When the Sixth Princess noticed Li Huoyue looking back, she abruptly withdrew her gaze and continued to cough a few more times.

"What are you looking at! Cough cough cough, if you look again, I'll kill you! Cough cough, I'll throw you to feed the fish in my pond! Cough cough cough!"

Li Huoyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and at that moment, she understood why the Sixth Princess always liked to go to the Eldest Princess.

Perhaps, only the eldest princess is like an older sister.

And the prince, as her brother, would only break her legs.

Other brothers and sisters also wanted to kill her.

She couldn't imagine Li Huoyue being treated like a child by her brother like she was now, because it was a scene she had never seen before.

Li Huoyue didn't look at it any further. What happened to the Sixth Princess had little to do with her. Everyone has their own circumstances.

At least the Sixth Princess doesn't have to worry all day about being a time traveler.

After getting on the carriage, Li Huoyue sighed and did not go back into the carriage. Instead, he sat outside with the second brother and asked, "Is that Jiang the friend you mentioned the other day? If so, your vision is getting worse and worse. That kid never gets anything done well."

Without Jiang Yunshu, the second brother started driving on his own initiative. When he heard Li Huoyue calling Jiang Yunshu, he laughed out loud.

"You have really acted like an adult since you were little. You are younger than him, so why do you call him 'that kid'?"

The carriage slowly got back on the road, slightly changing direction and passing by the expressionless Sixth Princess in a wheelchair.

To Li Huoyue, these words were an implicit acknowledgement of her question.

"Where did he come from?" Li Huoyue asked after they had walked for a while, his tone calm and as if he was asking casually.

The second brother knew what Li Huoyue was asking, so he smiled and replied, "It's fine where it came from, just use it with confidence."

Li Huoyue did not ask any further questions. The dark sky began to drizzle again, and raindrops fell on her face.
