Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

He Zun put the sharpened knife into the scabbard, "My lord, can you kill someone today?"

Li Xu didn't want to kill unless he had to, so he shook his head and said, "Go and see the situation before making a decision."

He thought he wouldn't kill people, but when he found the little princess, a tyrannical emotion fermented in his heart, making people want to kill everyone around him.

He asked two ordinary-looking Habayashi soldiers to pretend to be guests and enter the Peony Garden, and waited for the other party to give a signal before leading them in.

It was just a dozen or so thugs who were no match for the Habayashi Army. A few people beat these thugs to the ground. Li Xu arrested an old tortoise to lead the way to the firewood house, and found the little princess in the so-called firewood house. Suddenly, Li Xu's heart skipped a beat, his legs went limp, and he almost lost his footing.

This pampered and grown up golden branch and jade leaf is lying weakly in the messy pile of thatch, her whole body is burning badly, her cheeks are flushed, her lips are chapped, and her original silk dress is missing. The dusty and coarse clothes, the exposed arms were full of scars and welts. The moment Li Xu saw the welts, the tension in Li Xu's mind suddenly broke. He even wanted to take off the little princess's clothes and pants to see Take a look to see if she has been treated inhumanly.

But he didn't dare, he was afraid, he was so scared to death, he couldn't imagine, if this little girl had encountered such a thing, would she still survive?

Li Xu knelt on the ground, picked him up carefully, and called softly: "Shu'er... Shu'er... Father is here, father is late..."

Li Xu's throat choked up, and tears fell unconsciously. For the first time, he felt that he was so useless, that he couldn't even protect a little girl well. The self-confidence accumulated in his previous life collapsed in an instant, and there was not even a scum left.

Someone at the side handed a glass of water, Li Xu took it, fed the little princess a few sips of water, and heard her call in a daze, "Father..."

Hearing this call, Li Xu squeezed out a smile, and he responded, hugging the little princess in his arms and coaxing, "Shu'er, the father is here, and the father will take you home."

The little person in her arms gave a warning, leaned against Li Xu's arms and moved uncomfortably, and then cried in a low voice. Li Xu who was crying was full of sadness, Li Xu patted her on the back lightly, and finally Let her sleep peacefully.

"Go and find all the medical craftsmen in the town." Li Xu ordered in a deep voice, and someone immediately took the order to go, and the rest also consciously retreated outside the woodshed.

Li Xu walked out of the firewood room with his daughter in his arms, saw men and women kneeling on the ground being escorted by the Habayashi Army in the yard, and asked coldly, "Who is the boss here?"

No one said anything, and no one stood up.

"Very good, I don't want to say yes, so let's deal with it together."

Hearing the sound of the guards drawing their swords, the group of people screamed, and then pushed a woman out, "It's her, she is the owner!"

Li Xu took a few steps forward, looked at her condescendingly, and asked, "Where did this girl come from?"

"No... I don't know..." The woman lowered her head, and stepped back while shaking her head.

Li Xu kicked her and sneered, "Think carefully before answering, if you tell the truth, this king will let you die more happily, if you don't tell me, hehe, then I will cut off your flesh piece by piece. Let you taste the taste of a thousand cuts."

"No..." The woman screamed and fainted from fright. A bucket of cold water was poured on her.

Li Xu didn't plan to waste his time here, he still had to take his daughter to see a doctor, so he told He Zun, "You can deal with it."

He Zun still said the same thing: "Can you kill someone?"

Li Xu left a sentence: "You can figure it out." He left with the people.

There was a scream behind him. Li Xu was not indifferent, but he didn't want to stop it. He thought: In this world, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and I will eventually become a person with blood on my hands.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

The little princess had a high fever all night, and the doctors in the town were not very good, and everyone prescribed different prescriptions. Li Xu also went to prescribe medicine when he had a fever when he was a child. And it's mild.

He asked people to decoct the medicine, and he brought a basin of cold water to wipe the little princess's body. He drove the others out, and carefully took off his daughter's clothes. Seeing the bruises and scars all over her body, he was stunned. Living.

He didn't understand how much heart it took to attack such a small and cute child. Li Xu didn't think he was a kind person, but he couldn't do such a cruel thing.

With trembling hands, he twisted the veil and gently rubbed it on the little princess's body. It might hurt, and the little girl who had been sleeping all this time unexpectedly started to cry softly again.

"Mother concubine...Mother concubine..."

Li Xu's chest was in pain, he put down the veil and patted her lightly, and said a few words of comfort to her, but it didn't help, so he simply sang a nursery rhyme to her, but the unfamiliar melody had a significant effect.

Li Xu struggled to wipe the upper body of the little princess. Although the little girl was only five years old, she was not his biological daughter after all, so it was a bit embarrassing.

It's a pity that none of the maids and women who came with him were found, and he didn't dare to find other women to take care of him. In case the little princess was really murdered... only he knew this secret.

"Forget it, if we want to live together in the future, we should treat it as our own." Li Xu did enough mental preparation and helped the little princess wipe her lower body. Fortunately, nothing happened that he was worried about. Except for the severe beating, the little girl was fine. No loss, which made Li Xu heaved a sigh of relief.

After guarding the whole night, Li Xu was also dizzy and dizzy. When he was extremely sleepy, he just put on his clothes and slept next to the little princess. When she was having nightmares, he gently coaxed her and sang unskilled nursery rhymes.

He Zun came back in the early morning with a whole body of blood. He didn't disturb Li Xu after he fell asleep. He went to take a bath first, and then sat in the room in a daze.

As the chief of the prince's guards, he had killed people before, but the feeling of killing people last night was completely different. He killed people with the emotion of venting, and every stab brought him pleasure.

But when he woke up and saw the blood and corpses all over the ground, he vomited disgustingly. He never knew that he had such a dark side, and he didn't even dare to tell Li Xu about it. His Highness is so kind. , I know that I am afraid that I dare not use him anymore.

He Zun touched the mottled scars on his face, and said with a wry smile: "I've really become a devil through and through."

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Li Xu was woken up by the little princess. As soon as the two pairs of eyes met, they burst into surprise.

"Little baby, you're awake." Li Xu touched the little princess' forehead and found that the fever was not as bad as last night, which is a good sign.

The little princess rolled into his arms, hugged his waist and cried: "Father... Shu'er thought I would never see you again."

"No, no, no matter where you are, my father can find you."

The father and daughter hugged and talked for a while, and when the little princess calmed down, Li Xu called someone in.

"Hungry, eat something first, you still have injuries on your body, you need to recover for a few days to recover."

The little princess followed Li Xu as if she had found her backbone, and followed wherever she went. After eating a mouthful of porridge, she remembered something important. The bad guys took it away."

Li Xu already knew the general idea, so he was not in such a hurry, "Eat first, let's talk after eating."

After the little princess had finished eating a bowl of millet porridge, He Zun came and reported the news of yesterday's interrogation to Li Xu. The pairing made it even more certain that Liu Shu and the others were indeed captured by the bandits on the mountain.

It was a coincidence that Liu Shu and his party managed to land on the shore, exhausted and unable to even walk. It happened that a rich businessman went ashore one step earlier and camped by the river. After seeing Liu Shu and the others She kindly provided them with shelter from the wind and rain.

After the rain stopped at dawn, Liu Shu and the others were going to leave to find Li Xu, but they happened to be on the same road, so they went on the road together.

With the support of the caravan, the little princess didn't suffer much during the journey. She changed into clean clothes and sat comfortably in the carriage.

It’s just that people’s wishes were not fulfilled. They were stopped by a group of bandits when they walked halfway. It stands to reason that there are more than a dozen Habayashi troops led by the caravan’s guards and Lin Tong’s combat effectiveness. The spies of the bandits drugged the breakfast, and a group of people had no way of resisting, so they had no choice but to catch them without a fight.

Except for the little princess, the rest of them are grown men. The little princess is still young. Even bandits who want women crazy will not attack her. Originally, they wanted to take her back first and then find her. The family wants a ransom.

I never thought that within a few days, the little princess developed a high fever and cried endlessly. The gangsters who guarded them thought it was annoying, so they beat her a few times. Unexpectedly, after these lashes, the little princess fell ill. heavier.

Liu Shu was locked in another cell, and could only watch helplessly as the little princess was beaten and sick, and all her tears were shed.

Seeing this, the gangsters couldn't wait to ask for a ransom. If she died, they wouldn't get a penny, so they decided to sell her to the Peony Garden in the town.

The little princess is delicate and handsome, with fair skin and flawless skin. She can tell at a young age that she will be a great beauty in the future. Although the people in Peony Garden thought she was sick and young, they couldn't bear it, so they bought her. If he can recover from his illness and teach for a few years, he will be a cash cow in the future.

The old bustard in Peony Garden was not a kind person, she changed her into old clothes, poured a bowl of antipyretic medicine and put her in the woodshed. Whether she lived or died depended on her luck.

If it wasn't for the little beggar who happened to meet her, and also happened to know that she was the person Li Xu was looking for, maybe the little princess would have died of illness in that simple firewood house.

After hearing this, Li Xu was terrified. Based on the situation last night, if he arrived one day late, his precious daughter might really be gone. Thinking of this, he was very grateful to Wu Jin.
