After the woman scanned the contents of the letter, her expression was very ugly, "Li Guo, do you want me to be a hostage?"
"Mother, don't worry about it. You are my mother, how could I send you to a foreign country." Bai Zhiyan grabbed her hand and squeezed it slightly, "Over the years, you and my mother have been separated for various reasons. In the two places, I feel very guilty for not being able to fulfill my filial piety by your side. Now that we are finally reunited, I will definitely not be separated from you again."
The woman moved slightly, stretched out her hand to brush off the fallen leaves on his shoulders, and said softly, "But if you want to succeed, you need to borrow troops from the Li Kingdom. The Emperor of the Li Kingdom has always disagreed, but now it has finally eased. If we reject his What should we do if they not only don¡¯t help us, but also use this to make things worse?¡±
"Even so, I definitely have no reason to send my mother there as a hostage. Then what have I become? Such an unfilial and heartless generation is not even considered a human being."
As Bai Zhiyan said, his expression became cold, "If Li Guo doesn't borrow troops, then he won't. Is it possible that I can only rely on him to achieve success? Even if I can't achieve great things, at worst I won't think about that position. From now on we Mother and son depend on each other for life, and hide in the deep mountains and old forests to live. I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness, I would rather be a villager, eat chaff and vegetables every day, as long as my mother is by my side, I will be happy."
When the woman heard the words, her complexion changed slightly.
Mao Zhen even knelt down directly, "Master, you must not. Master must not have the idea of ??giving up. Now the master is carrying thousands of lives. If the master gives up, what will these people do? Not only will their lives be lost , and even in turn endanger the master's safety."
"Mao Zhen, shut up."
"Even if the subordinates offend you, you have to say, master, there is no turning back when we open the bow. We have reached this point, and turning back is the abyss. Master can't be a countryman at all, he will only become a desperado. And we have already done everything. Ready, if the master gives up now, Shao Qingyuan and the others will definitely find out, and there is nowhere to escape."
Bai Zhiyan looked at him coldly, "Have you said enough?"
He kicked the pillow to the ground as soon as he lifted his foot, the pillow gritted his teeth, and knelt back again.
Bai Zhiyan wanted to kick again, but the woman quickly stopped him, "Zhiyan, don't be impulsive. What Mao Zhen said makes sense, you must not give up."
"Mother, it is impossible for me to send you to Li country for borrowing troops."
"What if mother wants to go by herself?" The woman gritted her teeth and stared at her eyes firmly, "Our mother and son have endured humiliation for so many years just to wait for this day. I have lived in Luwang Biezhuang all these years, and I have no freedom at all. , you still want to call my sister-in-law as your mother. This tone is stuck in my throat, and I can't swallow it. Also, the entire Xun family is gone now, and my parents and brothers were all killed by the current emperor. , shouldn't we help them avenge this?"
"But mother"
"You want to be a villager, but my mother can't bear you to suffer this kind of suffering. In other words, you want to be above the tens of thousands of people, not a desperado who has been hunted down for the rest of your life and wants to hide your head and show your tail! Do you understand? ?¡±
Bai Zhiyan lowered his eyes and remained silent, but his expression was extremely ugly, "But I can't bear my mother's humiliation. If I ascend to that position in the future, mother, you will be the respected empress dowager, and you should be well-clothed and well-fed. , how can you become a hostage?"
