Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"You're finally back!" Lao Wu was sitting at the door and was the first to notice Li Huoyue walking towards Mingtang. He felt that Li Huoyue's eyes were much brighter.

Li Huoyue loosened his grip on the leaves, calmed down, and asked, "What are you doing to me?"

The people in the house also heard the noise. The eldest sister-in-law was the first to react. She jumped out and explained what happened. "It was Sang who came to see your eldest brother. He said he had something important to tell you."

Li Huoyue was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "You have something to tell me, and then you run to find my eldest brother?"

"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.

"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."
