Longevity: I am in the quiet garden, the sun and the moon

Liu Li sighed: "He should be killed, but my father has already adopted his plan."

"What? Father, how can you be so confused? The Northern Qi Dynasty is like a jackal, a tiger, a leopard, and surrendering to them will not end well..."

"Father, in view of my daughter, I should kill this man immediately to calm the morale of the army and the people. Even if our Suppression Army is completely defeated, we will never surrender to Northern Qi!"

"If this is the case, we will bear infamy forever, and we will be homeless ghosts after death, Father!"

Liu Zhixi was extremely excited, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.

Liu Li smiled bitterly. Hearing what his daughter said, as a descendant of the Liu family, he was heartbroken, but he was already on the ropes. Unless he got help from Xing Bang, there would be no way out.

Then, he shook his head: "Xi'er, it's too late. I'm afraid your brother has already arrived in Dadu, Northern Qi."

"You...Father, how could you be so hasty and listen to a traitor who seeks glory?"

"Father, haven't you ever thought about why the agreement was reached so easily? This is too simple. Meng Zhihai must have taken the first step to defect to Northern Qi, and his plan when he came back was just to deceive your father. .”

"My daughter swears to the death and will never succumb to the Northern Qi Dynasty. Father, please kill Meng Zhihai immediately and give up this idea."

Liu Zhixi looked upright and solemn.

Liu Li smiled bitterly again, "Xi'er, my father will not really surrender to the Northern Qi overnight. There is no way out now. I can only accept the humiliation and commit myself to the Northern Qi for the time being. Then I can make plans for it slowly. By then, I may be able to seize Dayao." Where is the country?"

"Without the support of Beiqi, our whole family, young and old, would never be able to get ahead in this life."

Liu Li paused for a moment, and then continued: "Meng Zhihai deserves to die, but we can't kill him yet. He still needs to handle the matter of uniting with Northern Qi."

"In any case, this is also our retreat. If we and the court cannot reach an agreement, we will have no choice but to go to the Northern Qi Dynasty. There is no other way."

"Father, if this is the case, we might as well surrender to the court. Even if we die, we will be aboveboard."

Liu Zhixi still advised Liu Li and didn't care about her brother who had already arrived in Beiqi. Since he was like this, he couldn't care so much.

"Xi'er, tell my father the truth. You really have no selfish motives for coming back this time. Is General Xing really willing to switch sides with your father for you?"

General Liu Lin asked Liu Zhixi again doubtfully. In his heart, of course, this plan was superior to switching to Northern Qi. This was called a strong alliance. If he defeated the imperial army and captured the capital, there was no doubt that Liu Li would He ascended the throne as emperor as a matter of course, and the whole Dayao belonged to him.

Moreover, he will also get the woman he is still obsessed with, and he will be able to get enough of them to alleviate the hatred he has been suppressing in his heart.

"Yes, Father!"

Liu Zhixi nodded solemnly, and then continued: "Father, if this were not the case, how could he let his daughter back so easily."

"Whether you surrender to the imperial court or to the Northern Qi Dynasty, he can accomplish this unparalleled feat."

"If we knew the news about my father's surrender to the Northern Qi Dynasty, then the 10,000+ troops outside the city would probably all swarm to the side of the imperial court."

At this point, Liu Zhixi decided to proceed as planned. If not, it would only be a matter of time before his father surrendered to Northern Qi.

Liu Li frowned and asked: "In that case, if there is no fraud in this, why didn't you tell me just now, Xi'er?"

"But do you choose to fight the imperial court to the death with your father?"

Liu Li had her own doubts, and she had such a strong reaction after revealing her surrender to the Northern Qi Dynasty that she had no choice but to doubt it.

"Father, can't you even trust your own daughter?"

Liu Zhixi looked at her father with a sad face, but she was not too surprised, because she could guess before she came back that her father could not even trust her.

As the saying goes, a married daughter throws away the water, and more importantly, he also thinks how outstanding his so-called son-in-law is.

Although you are very fond of your precious daughter, it is not impossible to fall in love with that person at first sight. Once your daughter is determined about something, even the eunuch may not be able to stop her determination.

However, having said that, it was just suspicion. He really couldn't accept it in his heart. Liu Zhixi would push his mother, aunt and sisters into a pit of fire.

Liu Li gave a bitter smile, "Xi'er, it's not that my father can't trust you, but now that things have come to a point, my father doesn't want to lose everything with one careless move. It's better not to be more cautious."

Hearing this, Liu Zhixi sighed, "Since the father doesn't believe my daughter, then the daughter has nothing to say, so she can just let the father do whatever she wants."

"It's just that my daughter finally wants to advise her father. Don't forget that you are the son of the late emperor. Dayao and Northern Qi can't live in peace for generations. My father's move is to cut himself off from his ancestors."

"Besides, my father, are you really able to feel at ease? What's the difference between living like a walking dead and living without a soul?"

"Okay, Xi'er, don't say any more. It's impossible for my father to hang himself on a tree. Moreover, my father is not doing this for himself, but for the sake of the generals and soldiers of the three armies."

"How ruthless your imperial uncle is, you don't know. If we are defeated, not only our family's life will be in danger, but also how many soldiers will suffer."

"Also, Xi'er, do you really think that even if your father defectes to Northern Qi, he will really work for them?"

"Father, I just want to find a place to stay first. Besides, I have a lot of troops. It's not that easy for Bei Qi to make any plans."

"Let's gather our strength and wait for the times to change. Who will control the world by then?"

Liu Li expressed his thoughts in one breath.

Liu Zhixi breathed a long sigh of relief. She knew that her father did not sincerely surrender to Beiqi, but she was too naive. But at the same time, she felt like a mirror in her heart. I am afraid it would be difficult to persuade her father.

"Now that my father has made up his mind, my daughter will no longer try to persuade me. However, my daughter still wants to do what she just said. She will never join Northern Qi."

"Father, please take care of me!"

While talking, Liu Zhixi was ready to leave.

"Xi'er, what are you going to do?"

"My daughter will return to the army and lead the army to fight to the death with the imperial court."

Liu Zhixi's attitude was very determined.
