The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 595 What a Man

His mother actually competed with the pig for food, pushed the pig aside, took out a sweet potato from the pig's trough and ate it.

One of his father's arms had been chopped off, and now the other arm was gone. He was as thin as a dead branch and could barely hold on in one breath.

Chen Yugui, who used to be as fat as a pig, has now lost weight. If it weren't for the several hideous scars on his face, Chen Yuzhang would hardly be able to recognize him.

When the family met Chen Yuzhang, they looked numb and showed no reaction at all.

Chen Yuzhang was about to say something when he suddenly saw a family of three heading towards the pig trough. It turned out that it was Grandma Fei who was carrying a bucket of pig food.

Chen Yuzhang felt desolate in his heart. What's the point of living like this? It would be better to crash to death.

He huddled in the corner, trying to reduce his presence, but he was still spotted by the sharp-eyed Aunt Fei: "Hey! Isn't this our General Chen?"

"General, how did you end up in a place like this? You should be sitting on a tiger-skin wolf chair!"

"Tsk tsk! General Chen has always been a gentle man. I don't think he would be like your parents and brothers who robbed all the pig food!"

"It's really pitiful. Who would have thought that such an arrogant husband would end up in such a state now?"

The old woman spoke viciously, and every word pierced Chen Yuzhang's heart like a sharp knife, making him feel ashamed to death.

"I want to see Fang Dahe!" Chen Yuzhang said to Aunt Fei while holding back his shame and anger.

Aunt Fei didn't say anything in response to him. In the evening, Chen Yuzhang was taken by someone and saw Fang Dahe in the original courtyard of the Chen family.

"Sit!" Fang Dahe poured a glass of wine for Chen Yuzhang, as respectfully as before.

Helplessly, Chen Yuzhang's hands and feet were crippled, and he slumped in a chair, unable to even hold a drink.

"Fang Dahe, I think I'm good to you, but why did you betray me?" Chen Yuzhang asked without any emotion, just like in a normal chat.

Fang Dahe drank a glass of wine like an old friend, and then said slowly: "She and I grew up together. Later we heard that the White Lotus Army was fair to everyone, so we joined the White Lotus Army together."

"My original dream was to have a place in the White Lotus Army, to marry her and have several children!"

"But all this beauty was wiped out by Chen Yugui before it even started!" Fang Dahe said calmly: "General, not everyone is like you. If your daughter-in-law is bullied, you can still pretend that it's nothing. !”

"Aren't men born to protect their parents, wives and children? If he can't even protect his wife, what kind of man is he?"

"General, do you think this is true?"

Chen Yuzhang remained silent. If he had not listened to his mother and protected Jing Li when Chen Yugui bullied Jing Li, what would have happened later?

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jingli took her children back to Jingjia Village to celebrate the festival. News of Tantai Lin's victory also came from Kyoto. Along with this news, there was also news from Jincheng.

"Chen Yuzhang is dead?" Jing Li said in surprise.

Caiyue replied: "The news from Fang Dahe said that he went on a hunger strike for several days without eating or drinking. In the end, the pigs went crazy with hunger and gnawed him alive."

Jingli listened for a long time without saying a word, looking a little confused and not knowing what she was thinking.

Caiyue was stunned for a moment and said, "Empress?"

Jing Li came back to her senses and smiled: "It's okay. I have been entangled with this person for a long time. Now that he is finally dead, I think everything will be settled."

Caiyue said in confusion: "Although he was once the third leader of the White Lotus Army, he didn't have much talent. He was just lucky and relied on women to get up step by step. How can he be so valued by the empress!" Because! He has the aura of a protagonist. This is something that Jingli cannot tell Caiyue. Whether it is Tantai Lin or anyone else, it would be too unbelievable to tell them that this is the world of a book. .

But now that Chen Yuzhang is dead, everything will return to normal, and the world will slowly settle down.

"Have the people who went to Longxi's Li family come back?" Jing Li thought of Yang Shiyue and couldn't help but frowning and asked.

Caiyue replied: "I haven't received the news yet, I think it only happened in the past few days!"

At this time, the Li family in Longxi, taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to reunite, summoned all the family heads to discuss important family matters.

"A few days ago, my family received a messenger from Chang'an. You should know about this." The head of the Li family is about fifty, and he is full of energy and not at all old.

"What do you think about this?"

A person sitting next to him said: "Uncle, our Li family in Longxi has been a century-old family. It has been recorded since the time of the Human Emperor. There have been several emperors in the world, but our Li family has never declined."

"Who does Princess Changling mean to her? Just because she is worthy of making us surrender?"

The other person smiled and said: "Three brother's words are a bit biased. Although the Changling Princess is a female generation, she and the Changling Prince and her husband have kept nine points in the world in their pocket."

"Do you think she is really here for our Li family? It seems to me that this woman clearly wants to conquer Sichuan after regaining us!"

The head of the Li family stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, Akihito is right. Princess Changling does not care about my Li family. Her ultimate goal is Shu."

"Now there is news that King Changling recaptured Zhang Xiong, the leader of White Lotus, in Youzhou, incorporated the White Lotus sect with many followers into the army, and then defeated Xiao Zhizong."

"Calculating the time, I am afraid that Kyoto is now in the pocket of King Changling."

Li Mingren said: "So, in addition to the Yan land that was ceded back then, there is also the Shu land. The world of the Dafeng Dynasty already belongs to him, Prince Changling."

"That's right!" The head of the Li family said: "Originally, the change of court had little impact on a century-old family like mine. But now that the King of Changling has strong soldiers and horses, and is powerful and intends to dominate the world, how can my Li family compete with him? It’s a competition!”

The middle-aged man who was just called Third Brother couldn't help but wiped his sweat: "In this case, it is inevitable for my Li family to seek refuge in the Changling Prince's Palace."

Li Mingren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The trend of the times is unstoppable!"

The third brother said again: "But my Li family has a big tree and deep roots. Even if I want to take refuge with him, Prince Changling, I can't just talk about it casually."

Li Mingren was stunned: "Third brother, how do you say this?"

The third brother smiled proudly and said: "In my Li family, not only the legitimate daughters, but also the concubines are carefully raised, and they are as responsible as any family's wife."

"Since he, Prince Changling, has conquered the world, he cannot be the only one who owns Princess Changling. There must be a place for my Li family in the harem."

"As for the future, it is still unclear whose family this prince will come from!"

The head of the Li family smiled and said, "That's exactly it!"

After some immediate discussion, the head of the Li family wrote a reply to Jingli.

After receiving the letter, Jing Li sneered and said: "The world has not yet stabilized, and these people have begun to dream of being in the harem. No wonder the emperors of all dynasties have both loved and hated this wealthy family!"

Caiyue said worriedly: "But if they don't agree, they won't cooperate. How can we use the road to go to Shu?"
