Chapter 661 The Fall of the Star

Liang Ping was seriously ill. Whether it was public or private, or in good faith, Li Yu had to go there in person.

When Liang Pi heard this, he was surprised and happy. He nodded repeatedly to Li Yu and said excitedly: "Okay! I'll go back and prepare now!"

Li Yu was not idle either, so he asked Jinwu to pack his bags and prepare to leave for the capital.

Upon learning that Li Yu was going to the capital, Tao Xiying found Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, I will go to the capital with you!"

After a moment of pause, she said again: "I have been away from home for so long. I miss my family very much and want to go back and take a look!"

Li Yu could not refuse Tao Xiying's request.

During this period, Li Yu and Li Deng had a good relationship and often had letters and exchanges.

For Li Deng, the biggest force on his west side was Li Yu's power in Qinzhou and Liangzhou.

His main enemies and opponents are Li Lie, King of Yan to the north, Li Hao, King of Qi to the east, and Li Feng, King of Jin to the south.

Li Yu on the west side is equivalent to his backyard.

Of course he hopes to have a good relationship with Li Yu, and only in this way can he not be attacked from all sides.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Yu set off and headed for the capital.

Although the relationship between Li Yu and Li Deng is not quite hostile, Li Yu did not dare to go to the capital with great fanfare.

Their group were dressed in casual clothes and looked like a caravan.

From Qincheng to Beijing, the journey is not close, and even if you travel day and night, you have to walk for more than ten days.

A long story short.

Li Yu and others were exhausted and finally arrived in the capital thirteen days later.

When entering the capital, Li Yu, Liang Pi and others couldn't help but wonder if they had gone to the wrong place.

The capital city, at the foot of the emperor, was the most prosperous and lively city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The long-term population of the capital exceeds one million.

There are many shops in the streets and alleys, people come and go, and traffic is crowded.

But now, Li Yu and others saw a scene of desolation and desolation.

Liang Pi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and murmured: "I didn't expect that the kings robbed the capital and destroyed the capital in this way, and they have not recovered until now!"

Two months have passed, and the capital is still full of devastation.

They were walking, and beggars on the roadside flocked to the crowd, and broken bowls stretched out from the crowd, "Master! Good heart! Let's eat with you!"

"Uncle, I haven't eaten for two days!"

“…”

Although Liang Pi couldn't bear it, he did not dare to give charity easily when people asked for food.

There are too many beggars on the street. As long as one person is given food, it will be difficult for them to get out of this street again.

Mu Fei and Chu Zun made the way forward and forcibly pushed away the beggar who was blocking the road.

Li Yu returned to the carriage and frowned.

Tao Xiying, who was riding in the same car with him, put down the curtains in the car window and said, "I didn't expect that the situation in Beijing is so bad!"

Li Yu didn't expect that the capital would become like this.

No wonder the princes and powerful people in the capital fled one after another.

They finally walked out of this street.

But other streets are similar.

The shops on both sides of the road are almost empty, and they are basically stolen.

The beggars sitting on the roadside are not one, two, ten, twenty, but in groups.

People were all skinny and dull, like walking corpses.

The people who were starved to death were thrown to the roadside in a random manner, no one cleaned up or buried.

The tragic situation in the capital can be described as a terrible sight.

Li Yu and others came all the way to the Duke of Xunguo's Mansion.

When they learned that Liang Pi was back, the whole mansion was very happy.

What people unexpectedly is that King Li Yu of Wu actually came too!

Li Yu, Liang Pi and Tao Xiying went to visit Liang Ping together.

Liang Ping's bedroom was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Li Yu and others walked in and saw Liang Ping lying on the bed at a glance, shaped like a haggard Liang Ping.

Liang Pi couldn't help but scream: "Dad——"

He walked into two steps in three steps, came to the bed, and knelt down with a thud.

Liang Ping, who had originally closed his eyes, slowly opened his eyes and his dissipated eyes fell on Liang Pi's face. After a while, he gradually gained focal length.

"But...Pier is back?"

Liang Pi's nose felt sour and tears flowed down. He held his father's hand and even swallowed, saying, "Dad, is it... the child is coming to see you!"

"OK……"

Liang Ping raised his hand weakly and stroked Liang Pi's cheek.

Liang Pi cried so hard that he couldn't help but cry.

The families next to them also hugged each other and cried.

Even Tao Xiying couldn't help but her eyes were wet and red, and she unconsciously held Li Yu's hand tightly.

General Yangwu, Duke Xunguo, Liang Ping, who was that person?

It was a desperate Saburo who charged in the battlefield!

He is an invincible and powerful general who attacks cities and sieges!

Now, the only one who is lying on the bed is a terminally ill old man who is about to die.

Liang Ping wiped the tears from Liang Pi's face with his fingers and said, "Pi'er, don't cry! After Dad left, you will be the pillar of the Liang family! You should do your best to support the Liang family!"

"Well! The boy understands! The boy understands!"

Liang Ping's eyes turned and then looked at Li Yu standing aside.

He struggled to sit up, Li Yu hurried forward, pressed Liang Ping gently, and said, "Duke Xunguo, lie down quickly!"

"Your Highness... Your Highness, please forgive me for not getting out of bed and salute..."

Li Yu's eyes heated up and tears rolled in his eyes.

He said in a trembling voice: "The Duke of Xunguo is exempt from gifts!"

When Liang Ping heard this, he raised his head and then slowly lay back on the pillow.

He looked at Li Yu, touched the corner of his mouth, smiled with relief, and said, "The old minister is going to see the late emperor. Seeing His Highness grow up and understands the truth, the old minister also has something to say in front of the late emperor, hahaha--"

Li Yu knelt down beside the bed.

He has never advocated kneeling around, and he feels too servile.

But now, he would rather slap himself in the face.

He respects and admires Liang Ping, the elder from the bottom of his heart.

He said in a trembling voice: "Duke Xunguo should not say such things! The President of the Duke Xunguo will live a hundred years old!"

Liang Ping shook his head.

He murmured: "At that time, we followed the Emperor and started a fight together. So many old brothers and brothers died on the battlefield. The biggest regret of the old minister in his life was that he failed to die on the battlefield like them, but he wanted to die on this sickbed..."

Speaking of this, Liang Ping couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Li Yu and Liang Pi heard this, they all burst into tears.

"Knife! Where is my knife?"

Liang Ping suddenly became excited and his face began to turn red.

"The old emperor is summoning the old minister and going to fight to kill the enemy. Where is my sword?"

Without saying a word, Li Yu pulled out the sword under his ribs, then stuffed the knife handle into Liang Ping's palm, and said in a trembling voice: "Duke Xunguo, the sword is here!"

Liang Ping held the hilt tightly, raised his arm slowly, and pointed the blade upwards.

At that moment, the old general's face suddenly appeared with another layer of glory.

The scenes of galloping on the battlefield and catching blood in the horses appeared in my mind like a carousel.

He held up the sword, turned to look at Li Yu, and asked, "Li Yu, are you the son of the late emperor?"

Li Yu even swallowed, "I am the seventeenth son of the father!"

"Li Yu, may you inherit the last wish of the former emperor, end this troubled world of cannibalism, and create a peaceful and prosperous era?"

Li Yu held the edge of the bed with his hand, couldn't help crying loudly, and said, "Li Yu... has no choice..."

Hearing this, Liang Ping showed a comforting smile on his face, and the knife raised high slowly lowered it.

"father--"

Liang Pi let out a heart-wrenching cry.

The families around them knelt on the ground, hugging their heads and crying.

Liang Ping, Duke of Xunguo, died of illness at home in the 13th year of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
