Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"Oh, the tea is just ordinary scented tea." Li Huoyue returned to the table, spread out the paper, and began to write. "But don't look down on it."

Jiang Yunshu quickly comforted the beauty in front of him: "How could you look down on it! It's really delicious!"

"Of course!" Li Huoyue didn't even raise his head, "The poison inside is worth sixty taels of silver!"

Jiang Yunshu's smile was a little stiff: "...What is worth sixty taels?"

"It's poison. Don't worry. If you behave yourself, I'll give you the antidote every month."

Just as Li Huoyue finished speaking, the study door was pushed open and the boss walked in with his perennially cold face.

As soon as he came in, he found that his usual seat was occupied by a strange boy. He turned to Li Huoyue and asked, "Where did you pick this up from?"

Jiang Yunshu: “??????????”

Li Huoyue replied: "I found him at the gate. He was a time traveler."

Jiang Yunshu: “?!?!!!!!!!!!!!?!”

This made him even more uneasy than hearing that the tea was poisoned.

The boss frowned, looked at Jiang Yunshu who was sitting obediently on the chair with disdain, and said bluntly: "Why did you pick up such an unlucky thing? Just catch it."

Jiang Yunshu sat even more obediently, his body shaking uncontrollably. He didn't understand what was going on. Obviously, it wasn't a good situation for him.

"Keep him for now." Li Huoyue had the same idea as the eldest brother before, but she had other considerations at the moment and had to keep him. "Brother, please find a place to raise him first. Teach him more. I can be of use to you."

The eldest brother looked at Li Huoyue in surprise, and actually called him "big brother".

Is it possible...

Li Huoyue did not avoid the boss's gaze. Under the boss's gaze, he nodded solemnly.

This is one step towards rescuing my father.

"Okay." The boss didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly smiled with relief, and his eyes softened when he looked at Jiang Yunshu. "Come with me."

Jiang Yunshu didn't dare to move and looked at Li Huoyue with a questioning look.

Li Huoyue was afraid that this man would muster up the courage to run away, so he smiled kindly at Jiang Yunshu and said:

"The South Country does not allow travelers to travel through time. If they are found, they will be killed immediately. Do you understand?"

Jiang Yunshu nodded. There was such a big commotion in the inner city today that he naturally saw the attitude of the Southern Kingdom court towards time travelers. At that time, he just thought it was unfriendly, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel.

Li Huoyue added: "My father is a special inspector who specializes in catching time travelers."

“Damn!” Jiang Yunshu wanted to escape, but he was poisoned now. “I’ve really walked into a wolf’s den!”

"As long as you stay here, almost no one will come to check on you."

This time Jiang Yunshu felt that he understood: "Oh, I know, it's dark under the lamp, right?"

Li Huoyue smiled, said nothing, and let his elder brother take the person away.

She was holding a small wolf-hair brush and writing something quickly. The dim light made her eyes sore. She kept rubbing her eyes with one hand, and did not dare to stop writing with the other hand.

When it was almost dawn, Li Huoyue finally had a thick stack of papers. She put the papers in her pocket, mounted her chestnut horse, and headed towards the inner city.

It didn't rain today and the sun was slightly out.

The morning light gently spreads across the entire Kyoto. After a night of hustle and bustle in the inner city, the day is still bustling.

Those who are rushing to the morning market or those who are going back to bed after a night of playing will take over at this time.

Many shops on Shengyu Street posted missing person notices at this moment.

The content of the notice was to find a distinguished guest who accidentally left valuables outside the Li Mansion. There was also a picture of the item drawn at the bottom of the notice. If anyone had any clues, they could go to the Li Mansion at Suyun Bridge and find the Sixth Miss to collect 100 taels of gold.

This has become a hot topic among everyone. In addition to the Li Mansion in Suyun Bridge, there is also the Sixth Miss of the Li Mansion.

Unconsciously, no one knew who took the lead, and everyone thought that this fierce Sixth Miss was planning to give up her marriage with Sang Fuqing and look for the next good story.

Since ancient times, strange gossip has been the easiest thing to spread. In just half a day, this matter had spread throughout Kyoto.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, another strange thing happened.

Walking on the streets of Kyoto, I kept seeing many people holding a booklet in their hands. The booklet was not well made, but everyone was reading it with great interest.

The cover of the booklet clearly reads "Time Traveler's Guide".

Those who have never bought it are curious and ask where they can buy it. Some people say that it is given as a gift when you buy snacks, some say that it is given as a gift when you buy cloth, and some say that it is given as a gift when you buy toys for children, and so on.

Just like the miracle in Nanxia River yesterday, it caused a sensation in the inner city of Kyoto.

How could something that had been suppressed in the imperial city for thousands of years be spread so easily?

Before sunset that day, all the pamphlets became fuel in the incinerator, and Li Huoyue was summoned to the Wende Hall as he wished.

Li Huoyue repeatedly practiced his speaking rhythm and breathing at home, and also searched his mother's room to collect some information.

She refused all visitors and eliminated those people and things that might cause confusion in her thinking.

Finally, she came to Wende Hall and met the emperor who had taken her father away.

Led by the palace servants all the way to the Wende Hall, Li Huoyue only saw a figure hiding far away behind a pearl curtain. He could not see the face of the person, nor could he detect the other person's emotions because they were too far away.

"I, a commoner, Li Huoyue, come to see His Majesty."

Li Huoyue was neither humble nor arrogant. After reaching the right position, he stopped automatically and knelt down to pay his respects.

The person in the hall did not answer immediately, but waited for a while before speaking:

"I thought you had nine heads."

The sound sounds deep and powerful, and can be heard very clearly even from a long distance, with a strong sense of oppression.

Li Huoyue was not stage-frightened, and without asking her to stand up, she just lay on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment."

This time the emperor responded quickly, laughed twice, and said, "You are smarter than your father."

"Father is indeed too honest and honest." Li Huoyue showed no sign of giving up his kneeling position.

The atmosphere became cold again. The emperor did not respond, and Li Huoyue did not dare to say anything more.

In the huge Wende Hall, a small person kneeling down and a person in the highest position, they were silent to each other.

"Li Huoyue, do you know that your missing person notice and your broken book will lead to the execution of your entire family?"

His Majesty has no obligation to chat with Li Huoyue about family matters. Li Huoyue must give answers to anything he wants to know.

"Your Majesty, please be wise. The missing person notice was issued by me, but the booklet has nothing to do with me." Li Huoyue answered, lying down, her voice still clear and powerful.

"You used this method to make me look for you. It shouldn't just bring boring news like a missing person notice, right?"
