Chapter 78: Cannon Fodder Doesn’t Want to Be a Eunuch: Seeking Refuge in the Capital
In the next few days, Li Xiaoyao started to avoid someone.
Li Xiaoyu glanced at her brother and said helplessly, "What's the point of you hiding here?"
She sighed and continued, "That Prince Chen still comes to the mansion every day. It's no use hiding like this."
Li Xiaoyao curled his lips, seeming a little reluctant, but helpless.
He muttered softly, "He'll hide for as long as he can. He probably won't be able to stay for many more days anyway. I heard the emperor is seriously ill, so he must return to the capital."
After saying that, he glanced at his sister secretly, with a sly glint in his eyes.
Li Xiaoyu frowned with confusion and asked, "I really don't understand why you are avoiding him. Even if he is a prince, you don't have to be so afraid of him."
She felt that her brother's behavior was a little strange and her heart was full of questions.
Li Xiaoyao quickly changed the subject and asked, "Sister, do you have someone you like?"
Li Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "No."
Her tone was calm and her face showed no emotion.
"Men are not good people!"
Li Xiaoyao, who is not a good person: "???"
Just as he was about to retort, he heard footsteps outside the door, followed by the voice of a maid: "Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Chen is walking towards the courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao quickly got under the desk, his movements very agile. He hid there, not daring to make any sound, for fear of being discovered.
Li Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing when she saw her brother's expression.
She patted the desk gently, signaling Li Xiaoyao not to make a sound.
Then, she tidied her clothes and went out to welcome Prince Chen.
"This humble girl pays homage to His Highness..."
Shen Yilin glanced around the room and didn't see the person he wanted to see, so he said lightly: "Get up."
"I came here today to see Yaoyao." Shen Yilin said straight to the point.
Li Xiaoyu's heart tightened, and she asked in confusion, "Your Highness has been looking for my brother these past few days. I wonder what he wants?"
Shen Yilin said bluntly: "I want to take him to the capital."
Li Xiaoyao, who overheard their conversation, immediately crawled out from under the table and looked at the man with an unhappy expression.
"I'm not going!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yilin asked softly, "Are you still angry with me?"
"But Uncle Li and Aunt Li have already agreed."
"I don't care whether they agree or not, I just won't go!" Li Xiaoyao turned his head to the side.
The capital city is a place where people are eaten alive. If a little Karami like him goes there, he will only be bullied.
Shen Yilin sighed helplessly. He walked towards Li Xiaoyao and looked him in the eye. "Xiaoyao, come with me to the capital. There are a lot of fun things and delicious food there."
Li Xiaoyao remained unmoved: "I have many friends here too. I don't want to go to the capital."
Shen Yilin patted Li Xiaoyao's head and sighed, "Jinzhou is no longer safe. You must come with me to the capital."
When Li Xiaoyao heard this, he immediately frowned: "Unsafe? Why?!"
Shen Yilin looked at Li Xiaoyao and said slowly, "Do you remember the last time you were sent to the cell?"
Li Xiaoyao nodded, a hint of confusion on her face, not understanding why Shen Yilin suddenly brought up this matter.
Shen Yilin continued, "In fact, there were enemies of Uncle Li in the government at that time. They originally planned to castrate you and send you to the palace."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyao blinked innocently. Being familiar with the plot, of course he knew it, otherwise he would not have escaped so quickly.
Shen Yilin continued, "But fortunately, you managed to escape. I'm really glad you made it out."
Li Xiaoyao frowned and asked, "You said this place is unsafe. Is it because of my father's enemies?"
Shen Yilin nodded and replied, "That's right. Uncle Li's enemy is named Yi Yuan, and he is currently the prefect of Jinzhou."
"Because Uncle Li once killed his younger brother, he has always held a grudge against Uncle Li."
At this time, Li Xiaoyu interrupted and said, "Could this Yi Yuan be Yi Yang's brother?"
"It's him." Shen Yilin nodded slightly at her to express his affirmation.
Li Xiaoyu was no stranger to the name Yi Yang. This man was notorious for his evil deeds, including drinking, gambling, whoring and even committing many crimes.
Li Xiaoyu also clearly remembered that her father once said that Yi Yang had eaten human flesh!
This behavior is truly intolerable and outrageous.
Therefore, when Li Xiaoyu learned that Yi Yang was killed by his father, he felt that he deserved it.
Shen Yilin continued to talk to Li Xiaoyao, "Yi Yuan has issued a hunting order for you in the Jianghu. The bounty is very generous, which has attracted countless desperate criminals to Jinzhou, trying to take your life."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyao nearly fainted. He stamped his feet in anger, "What the hell is Yi Yuan doing? His enemy is obviously my father, so why would he issue a hunting order against me, his son?"
Shen Yilin pursed his lips and said, "I guess he wants Uncle Li to lose the people closest to him, to make him fall into endless pain, a life worse than death."
Li Xiaoyao: ...
"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. The best solution right now is for you to come with me to the capital."
In the capital, even if there is a hunting order, people in the martial arts world are wary of the royal family and dare not take any big actions.
Li Xiaoyu also advised: "My son, His Royal Highness Prince Chen is right. Since your parents have agreed, you should follow His Royal Highness Prince Chen to the capital."
She knew that since her parents were able to safely hand her younger brother over to Prince Chen, it meant that Prince Chen was a trustworthy person.
Moreover, if they want to completely get rid of the trouble of Yi Yuan, their Li family must take some action.
As the youngest member of the family with the weakest martial arts skills, staying in Jinzhou would only put him in greater danger.
Li Xiaoyao was still a little hesitant: "But..."
He felt a little reluctant.
However, Li Xiaoyu didn't give him time to think. She pushed him and said unhappily, "Don't say but. Hurry back to the room and pack your luggage. The sooner you leave, the better."
Li Xiaoyao was pushed by his sister and almost fell to the ground. He looked at Li Xiaoyu with a wronged look on his face: "I..."
"Don't worry about me, do you want to be hunted down by the whole world?"
Li Xiaoyu's words startled Li Xiaoyao, and he quickly shook his head: "Of course not!"
He didn't want to become the public enemy of the entire underworld. Such a day was simply unimaginable.
Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh at his frightened look, but she said with a serious expression, "Hurry up."
Li Xiaoyao nodded helplessly: "Okay... okay, I'll listen to you."
He knew that he had no choice but to follow his family's arrangements.
Although he felt somewhat unwilling, for his own safety and to avoid becoming a burden, he had no choice but to follow Shen Yilin.
So he turned around and went back to the house, started packing his luggage, and prepared to follow Shen Yilin to the capital.
