Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Chapter 533

Li Huoyue, who had just jumped off the wall, bit the tip of his tongue lightly, took a few steps forward, and took a deep breath.

This is the result of her recent deliberate practice. Whenever her emotions fluctuate, she will be triggered to take a deep breath, like muscle memory.

It was precisely this kind of unconscious behavior that made Li Huoyue suddenly realize that his current mood was not right.

The location that Xu Lesong and I chose just now was on the wall near the back door. After walking a short distance, we arrived near the back door.

The sound of fighting could be heard in the yard. It was a real fight, not just the sound of stretching hands and feet for show, but a fierce interaction of breathing, changing positions, and close combat.

But outside the yard, it seemed particularly strange and quiet. No other people could be seen, and no other sounds could be heard.

Li Huoyue had experienced this feeling once before - in the palace.

When she walked in the palace, she was so quiet that it seemed like she was walking in another world.

Li Huoyue, who had planned to avoid it first, turned around and hid in a tree nearby.

The tree was still some distance away from Prince Liang's Mansion, and the scene in the backyard could not be seen clearly, but the sounds from the backyard could be heard.

Li Huoyue was on the tree, trying hard to control his emotions.

It's normal to feel emotional when faced with difficult situations, and it's also normal to prioritize dealing with the issues first. However, you should prioritize your emotions and avoid relying on your own inertia. This laziness in emotional management can lead to a sense of luck, which can ultimately affect your choices, and this is very dangerous.

Mrs. Jin's words made a lot of sense, and Li Huoyue repeated them to himself over and over again.

When Li Huoyue calmed down, the fighting in the yard just stopped.

"Bah! Bullying the common people is worthy of being a prince?"

Xu Lesong's voice was very clear, and his slightly angry shouts echoed throughout the courtyard.

Li Huoyue was a little surprised by the content of the words. If Xu Lesong had not been an expert in fighting, she would have almost thought that Xu Lesong was also a time traveler.

"Let me go quickly! My childhood friend is going to get help, and they'll be here soon! Let me go!"

Childhood friend?

Li Huoyue knew that Xu Lesong, Huang Ruochu and her sister-in-law were childhood friends, and she had arranged for her sister-in-law to stay in the Li Mansion. So the childhood friend Xu Lesong was referring to could only be Huang Ruochu.

What about Huang Ruochu?

Who should we call for help?

Wasn't she unable to meet with the senior management of their organization? And the people she could possibly meet had gone to the Li Mansion today. Who could she bring here?

While I was wondering, the door to the backyard opened.

The gate, which had been newly painted with vermilion, looked very bright and new. It seemed that it had been completely renovated, and even the stone bricks on the side had been replaced.

Li Huoyue still remembers the first time he came to Prince Liang's Mansion that day. He met a few people carrying a new tripod and said they couldn't get through the main gate.

At that time, Li Huoyue guessed that the door would be removed. Later, when he left in a hurry due to insufficient time for props, he did see that they were just removing the door in the backyard.

Normally, after the door is removed and the new tripod enters the backyard, the door should be installed again.

How come all these doors were replaced with new ones?

What confused Li Huoyue even more was that after the door opened, no one appeared from inside.

It's like opening the door just for the sake of opening it.

This is not yet over.

The most confusing thing happened to Li Huoyue.

Although the view from the tree was obstructed, one could still clearly see that King Liang had already started to leave. His resolute back and slightly quickened pace indicated that King Liang was leaving.

Li Huoyue had walked the path in the backyard himself last time and knew clearly that there was only one way up and down the second floor.

But after they left, an almost identical voice came from the second floor:

"Still not leaving?"

Li Huoyue was worried that he had heard it wrong. After all, he was not very familiar with King Liang, so he waited for a while.

Xu Lesong in the courtyard was still shouting at King Liang, perhaps because he hadn't noticed King Liang's departure.

"Even if the second son of the Li family committed a crime, you have no right to punish him. He holds no official title and is just an ordinary citizen doing business. What you are doing is against the laws of the Southern Kingdom! It is not what a prince should do!"

This statement is actually very correct. According to the laws of the Southern Kingdom, King Liang cannot use such private punishment against Li Mengjin.

The laws of the Southern Kingdom are sometimes not only used to punish and manage the people of the Southern Kingdom, but also to restrain the royal family and nobles. However, generally no one will take them seriously, and everyone will acquiesce in the existence of such privileges.

Xu Lesong's speech seemed to have some shadow of a modern person, but Li Huoyue knew that she was not.

Sometimes modern people are more afraid of power.

An ordinary person offended the person in power for a stranger. Li Huoyue would rather believe that Xu Lesong was mentally ill.

"Where did your childhood friend go to get help?"

It was indeed the voice of King Liang, but it was not exactly the same.

Although there is a curtain blocking the back, there is a stone wall behind it!

Not to mention that the King of Liang doesn't even know any fancy martial arts, even if he can climb walls and run on rooftops, there's no reason for him to go down by himself, and then sneak back to ask Xu Lesong about this matter, right?

Moreover, the voice of the King of Liang before sounded more flamboyant and more...cowardly.

Now these two sentences are obviously much more calm. The two sentences have similar voices, but different momentum.

It shouldn’t be King Liang.

"She will be here soon!" Xu Lesong replied affirmatively.

Regardless of whether she has the confidence to wait for Huang Ruochu to bring reinforcements, she has to say it first.

"Your Highness Prince Liang." Xu Lesong shouted again.

After waiting for a while, Xu Lesong saw that there was still no response from above, so he said to himself: "Let's put Mr. Li down first. He won't be able to bear it if he hangs for too long."

Still no response from above.

Xu Lesong had some kung fu skills, not much, just enough to protect herself from minor troubles. Moreover, with so many guards here, even if she was worried that Li Mengjin's hand would be crippled if hung for too long, she had no way to do anything.

"Your Highness Prince Liang." Xu Lesong shouted again.

Xu Lesong had some kung fu skills, not much, just enough to protect herself from minor mishaps. Moreover, with so many guards present, even if she was worried that Li Mengjin's hand would become crippled if left hanging for too long, there was nothing she could do. "Your Highness, Prince Liang," Xu Lesong called again.
