Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

The "advantages" of Li Huoyue's proposal are obvious, and the "disadvantage" is nothing more than that when Li Huoyue sees the child again, he will not remember the current agreement.

After all, Li Huoyue's proposal was too good to refuse. It was just a name, not much of a loss.

The woman thought for a while and said:

"My daughter's name is Qin Sisi, and my name is Xue Rourou."

"Surname Qin?!"

Xue Rourou nodded and added: "She is the child of King Liang and I."

wrong.

Li Huoyue thought of what King Liang had said before.

[Hahahaha! In the end, you still have to give birth to a big fat boy for me! ]

What the King of Liang said was clearly a son.

Was one of them mistaken or what?

Or two?

But why only mention the daughter?

Li Huoyue began to show signs of divergent speculation again, so she quickly bit the tip of her tongue again to remind herself.

"Your Majesty." Li Huoyue turned around and saluted.

Not much was said, but the meaning was clear enough.

Li Huoyue has done it, so the emperor should fulfill his promise and establish the Special Inspection Commission.

The emperor didn't expect the question to be asked so soon. In fact, he was secretly expecting the girl to get so angry that she would want to torture him.

I didn't see anything, at most I got a roll of the eyes.

The emperor was somewhat dissatisfied and asked, "Did you two know each other before?"

Li Huoyue said half-seriously, "I don't know him, but he looks familiar. I guess we've met once."

His Majesty did not pursue the matter any further, as if he had not seen enough of the drama, and said to Li Huoyue again:

"If you want to become a special inspector, this ability alone is not enough."

Li Huoyue's ominous premonition became even stronger.

Sure enough, Old Deng threw out a long sword from somewhere, and it landed at Li Huoyue's feet with a clang.

"Come on, chop off her limbs."

Li Huoyue could not hide his shock this time, and it was clearly revealed on his face.

She widened her eyes, looking extremely bewildered: "This... Your Majesty, I, I, I don't know how to..."

"Is this difficult?" The emperor said calmly, his eyes full of disdain and indifference, "You can even kill people, but you can't cut off a woman's hands and feet?"

Maybe he was pretending just now, but now Li Huoyue's head was really buzzing, and his body crawled to the ground before his brain did.

I opened my mouth, wanting to say something to ask for forgiveness or to explain myself, but no sound came out for a long time, and I didn't know where to start.

The mind is not blank, but it is no different from a blank one.

"Don't kneel all the time." The emperor scolded impatiently, "I'm tired of asking you to stand up."

Li Huoyue still didn't dare to get up. She was not sure when she was discovered.

Maybe it was the groom.

Or maybe it was the blind King Li.

Or maybe it was a long time ago...

"Kill them if you want, they are just inferior people." The emperor said indifferently, "You don't have to be so scared, at least you are not those time travelers who shout about human rights and equality all day long. Stand up, I will not pursue you."

Li Huoyue took a deep breath and stood up, "...Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Let's get started." His Majesty nodded after seeing Li Huoyue stand up, "Take up the sword and chop down."

Li Huoyue picked up the long sword beside him tremblingly. The hilt looked fancy, and the throat part had been worn so much that the original pattern could not be seen, and the blade was not sharp either.

This is a "showy" sword that is often used but not well maintained and is not commonly used by martial artists.

So, is this sword often used to kill those time travelers?

Li Huoyue slowly moved his body and turned towards Xue Rourou.

Compared to Xue Rourou, Li Huoyue seemed to be the more afraid one.

Xue Rourou has become numb. If her daughter wasn't still alive, she would have probably committed suicide long ago.

Seeing Li Huoyue pick up the sword, Xue Rourou actually cooperated by stretching out a leg from the cage.

The leg was covered with scars and looked hideous, but it was a good leg. It was still attached to its owner, making the owner a healthy person.

"Cut it down a little bit, don't cut my artery, it will kill me easily."

Xue Rourou's voice was hoarse and her tone was as flat as reading an instruction manual.

Her voice never seemed to be very pleasant, but all her words were very touching.

Li Huoyue didn't hear the whole story of her love with King Liang, but she knew that the lifeless woman in front of her was once a doctor.

Before, she was confident in the waves of knowledge, and she overcame all obstacles and finally got her own transcript.

Now, she was stripped naked and imprisoned in a cage like an animal, watching people who may not have even read a few books torturing her wantonly.

It's not just physical pain, but more of a mental humiliation.

Will she miss herself back then?

Li Huoyue still couldn't resist the "inertia" of thinking. How could he change the thinking habits of more than ten years in just one day?

The more she looked at Xue Rourou, the more confused her thoughts became.

It shouldn't be like this.

Why is this so?

The time traveler’s country will be destroyed. How much does this have to do with the woman in front of him?

What did she do wrong again?

She just wanted to have a good relationship.

Li Huoyue picked up the long sword. This fancy long sword was not even one tenth as heavy as the sword she used in training, but she felt she couldn't lift it. The tip of the sword swayed slightly in the air, and she couldn't aim at the leg.

"You'll remember that, won't you?"

In order to make it easier to stretch her legs out, Xue Rourou pressed her body against the cage and looked up at Li Huoyue through the gaps in the iron pillars. Although her words were calm, there was a hint of hope in her eyes.

A very faint hope.

But Li Huoyue was able to capture it.

In her despair, this woman had some unnecessary thoughts, which were of no use other than making her more miserable.

As long as Li Huoyue is alive, as long as Li Huoyue still remembers.

That's enough, as long as her daughter can be "seen", she will have a better chance of survival.

This era may be terrible, but as long as her daughter can survive, what if she can see hope?

It would be great if Sisi was born there...

There was a sound of "clang——".

Li Huoyue threw away her sword, knelt down, and apologized to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am indeed too young to be a special inspector. I am overestimating my ability. I voluntarily give up."

She couldn't do it.

This is completely different from killing an assassin!

"Oh, interesting..." the emperor said coldly.

Li Huoyue didn't care whether he was being sarcastic or not, and replied directly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"Ha ha……"

Before His Majesty could react, the "cage" on the other side let out a soft chuckle.

Under such circumstances, Li Huoyue didn't want to be curious about who was locked in the "cage" next to her. She just wanted to end it all quickly.

But now that everything is ready, His Majesty will definitely not let it end so easily.

This chuckle seemed to be a reminder to His Majesty. As soon as it came out, His Majesty spoke to Li Huoyue:

"Go and have a look, Li Huoyue. I will show you my new favorite."
