"Father... Father was actually captured?" Li Xiuning's voice became hoarse.

Li Shimin nodded silently and said nothing.

Tears immediately surged in Li Xiuning's eyes, but then they were burned out by the angry flames.

"Li Shimin!"

She pointed to the younger brother who lowered his head and said angrily: "It's all your good things. How many times did I tell you? Don't face you with the Emperor of Wei. You just disobeyed and insisted on persuading the Emperor of Wei to provoke the Emperor of Wei. Now, I've finally pushed the Emperor of Wei into the fire pit. You are finally satisfied."

Li Shimin didn't say anything, sat there in a silence, letting his tempered sister scold him.

After a while, Li Shimin silently said: "What I do is for the father and for our Li family. As for the development to this point, I don't want to see it. It's so far. It's useless for you to scold me, sister. Why don't you think about what we should do in the future?"

"Then what are your plans?" Li Xiuning then calmed down a little.

"That's right." Li Shimin coughed, "The destruction of the Liao Kingdom is about to be imminent, and we can't stay any longer. We offended the pottery merchant so deeply, and it is impossible for us to join him again. For the sake of this, I plan to take my third brother to join Genghis Khan and use his hand to find the pottery thief to revenge."

"Genghis Khan?" Li Xiuning looked a little surprised.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It is Genghis Khan, the Mongolian country in the north. He is a man with great talent and strategy. The Mongol cavalry is invincible. Now he is about to destroy Wanyan Aguda and his strength has increased greatly. With this man's ambition, he will definitely go south to compete with the pottery thieves. We are familiar with the situation in the south of the desert and the situation in the northern counties. At that time, we will definitely be highly valued by Genghis Khan."

After talking about the grand blueprint, Li Shimin got to the point and said, "I sneaked back to the royal palace today, just to pick up my sister and go out of the city north, and take away the money from our royal palace together. Without further ado, I will clean up quickly."

As Li Shimin said that, he stood up and ordered his confidant servants to clean up the details without waiting for Li Xiuning to agree.

Li Xiuning asked coldly, "I don't object to you want to escape to Mongolia, but what about your father? Do you ignore him anymore?"

"Father?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, sighed with a bitter face: "Father has fallen into the hands of the pottery thief. Life and death are unpredictable, and we can do nothing. Now, the most important thing for us is to protect our Li family."

"I think the most important thing is to keep yourself." Li Xiuning said in a tone without any concealing irony.

Li Shimin's face turned dark and said unhappy: "Sister, what are you saying? My father is in trouble. How could I not want to save me, but what do you want me to do? Do you want me to go to Weiying, rescue my father, and die in vain?"

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything." Li Xiuning stood up, and a bit of tragedy surged on her pretty face. "If you want to escape, you want to leave your father and leave him alone, just let him go and save him."

As he said that, Li Xiuning was about to turn around and leave.

Li Shimin was shocked and grabbed her, "Sister, are you crazy? Are you going to die?"

"It's my own business to send him off or die, and you don't have to worry about it." Li Xiuning shook off his hand and glanced at him with a sarcastic look. "Anyway, you are the only one in your heart, so you should take care of yourself."

After saying that, Li Xiuning turned around and left without hesitation.

Looking at the elder sister who left resolutely, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with an annoyance. After a while, he snorted coldly: "You are going to die yourself, don't blame me, my brother, for not pulling you, hum."

After saying that, Li Shimin shouted at his confidant servants: "What are you still standing there? Why don't you pack up the gold, silver and fine materials? You left Shangjing before dark, and you have a long night and dreams."

...

One day later, I went to the west of the capital fifty miles.

The Wei camp, more than 400,000 Wei troops were camped here, and there were countless tents on the vast grassland.

In the imperial tent, the Tao Shang was listening to the report of the scout and discussing with the strategists and generals how to break through Shangjing as soon as possible and complete the final battle to destroy Liao.

"Report to Your Majesty, there is a female general of the Liao Kingdom outside the camp. He claims to be Li Xiuning, the daughter of Li Yuan, the king of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom. He wants to ask to see Your Majesty."

While the discussion was in full swing, an imperial guard came to the account to report.

"Li Xiuning?" Tao Shang's eyes lit up at the name.

He finally remembered this woman.

If he remembered correctly, Li Xiuning, the daughter of Li Yuan in history, was called out a long time ago, even far ahead of Li Yuan.

However, when Li Yuan had already jumped out to stir up the situation, the Taoist merchant was reluctant to see Li Xiuning's trace for a long time, and he was about to forget her.

However, he did not expect that Li Xiuning would suddenly take the initiative to "go to the trap" on the eve of Li Yuan being captured and the Liao Kingdom being destroyed at such a special time.

How could the pottery not be surprised?

"Come on, Miss Li come in." Tao Shang brushed his hand and put down what he had at hand for the time being, and couldn't wait to see Li Xiuning.

You know, Li Xiuning is accustomed to be loyal to him, and Li Xiuning's martial arts value is above 70 and has an additional martial arts value. This will be of great help to the pottery merchant's next step in martial arts and attack the mid-stage martial arts saint.

A moment later, the curtain was lifted up, and a female general in military uniform, with her head raised and her chest calmly walked into the tent.

"Li Xiuning pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei." She did not bow to the pottery merchant, but bowed slightly and bowed to the armored ceremony. Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, nor panic.

As expected, she is worthy of being a tiger girl in the general. Her temperament as a heroine is no less than that of Mu Guiying and Mulan.

"Miss Li, please calm down." Tao Shang nodded in appreciation and raised his hand slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xiuning stood up straight and looked at the Tao merchant without any fear.

Tao Shang asked, "Miss Li, you are also a minister of the Liao Kingdom. Your Li family is against me and is my mortal enemy. Now you take the initiative to come and fall into the trap. Are you not afraid of death?"

"Siu Ning is of course afraid of death." Li Xiuning answered without hesitation, but his expression became generous. "But Xiuning heard that his father was captured by His Majesty. As a daughter, how could Xiuning not save his father when he saw death? So Xiuning risked his life to come and asks him to spare his father's death."

It turns out that this is still a filial daughter, who is alone in the den of a dragon's and tigers, just to save her father...

Tao Shang couldn't help but secretly admire Li Xiuning.

Even though he appreciated, he was indifferent on the surface and said coldly: "Li Yuan was against me and his crimes were unforgivable. Why did I spare his life with just a few words?"

"Xiu Ning would like to die and exchange his own life for his father's life. Please be kind to your Majesty." Li Xiuning said without hesitation.

Tao Shang's figure was slightly shocked, and a little shock surged in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a great blessing for Li Yuan to have a daughter like you. Come on, take Li Yuan up to me."

The order was passed down, and a moment later, Li Yuan, who was covered in dust, was dragged into the imperial tent.

"Ning'er, why...why are you?" Li Yuan was so surprised that he couldn't even speak when he saw Li Xiuning.

"Father." Li Xiuning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Li Yuan still alive, but when she saw Li Yuan's dilapidated appearance, she couldn't help feeling sad again.

Tao Shang pointed at Li Xiuning and said, "Li Yuan, you have raised a good daughter. She took the initiative to come to my camp and said that she would exchange her own life for your life. What do you have to say?"

Li Yuan was shocked violently, and his shocked eyes looked at his daughter anxiously. The shocked look was obviously unexpected that his daughter would sacrifice her life for him to live.

At this moment, Li Yuan was moved and sad. Two lines of old tears involuntarily slid down in his eyes.

Pop!

Li Yuan's legs weakened, and he knelt in front of Tao Shang, and choked up and said, "Your Majesty, Xiuning has been persuading Yuan from beginning to end. He has advised Yuan not to go against His Majesty more than once to persuade Yuan to follow the will of heaven and surrender to the Great Wei. It was Yuan's ghost who was obsessed with it and could not help but instigate my second son who was worse than beasts, and he made this huge mistake. Yuan is really worthy of death and is willing to be executed, but Xiuning is innocent. Please do not implicate her, let alone exchange her life for Yuan's life."

As he said that, Li Yuan kowtowed.

Li Xiuning's eyes were also wet in an instant, and she hurriedly knelt at the foot of Tao Shang, begging with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, since his father has known his mistake, please forgive him for his life in view of his high age. Xiuning would like to exchange his life for his father's life, please forgive him."

"No, the criminal is willing to die. It's not about Ning'er's business. Your Majesty must not be angry with her."

"Xiu Ning would like to die for his father, please let His Majesty know."

...

Seeing the father and daughter who were rushing to die by themselves and leaving the other party alive, Tao Shang was filled with emotion, but he didn't know how to make a decision.
