"At that time, I will pay respects to my late parents, and then send a matchmaker to your home to formally propose marriage to your father and marry you as my general's wife."
"Brother Li, since you have important matters to attend to, please go ahead and do your work." The woman, carrying a baby girl, stepped forward and bid a reluctant farewell to the valiant young man: "My daughter and I will wait for you here."
334. Nighttime Murder
"Wait for me, I will return quickly to marry you."
Li Kai embraced the mother and daughter again, quietly savoring this moment of tenderness.
Then she took the fiery agate hanging from her waist and tied its purple ribbon around her daughter's delicate neck as a necklace.
Looking at the beaming little guy, Li Kai's eyes were full of affection.
He gently touched his daughter's rosy and lovely face with his fingertips and smiled, "This fiery agate is the first gift I've given you."
"You and your mother each have one."
Then he bowed slightly. (29.)
29. He gently kissed his daughter's delicate, white forehead.
The baby girl blinked her clear, bright eyes and subconsciously reached for her forehead, but found nothing.
Because Li Kai had already turned and left, his steps steady.
"Wow--"
Do not know why,
The baby girl in the woman in green suddenly burst into tears and cried sadly.
Two small, tender hands reached out in the direction Li Kai had left.
But once again, they missed their target.
The sun was setting, and twilight was descending.
Deep in a primeval forest far from the Blazing Mountain Residence, a long-planned ambush is unfolding silently.
In the blink of an eye,
Li Kai, leading his personal guards and a small number of Han soldiers, was passing through this forest road when he was suddenly attacked by a fierce rain of arrows flying from the surrounding jungle.
Numerous soldiers and guards were caught completely off guard and were instantly shot down.
"Damn it, enemy attack!"
"An enemy is lurking in the woods!"
"General, be careful!"
His personal guards, with their young bodies, struggled to push Li Kai away.
However, he himself was pierced by more than ten arrows, and excruciating pain shot straight to his brain. He instinctively wanted to scream.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, warm blood gushed out.
The light in his eyes gradually faded.
"No!"
Li Kai roared in grief and indignation, witnessing the young life vanish before his eyes, his heart filled with immense pain.
But he knew this was not the time to act rashly. He brandished his longsword and called out to his other guards and soldiers.
"Quickly request reinforcements from the deputy general!"
Soon, under the cover of their comrades, several soldiers fought their way through the encirclement and ran wildly into the distance.
However, only Li Kai was unable to break through.
He was besieged by the most enemies.
In a short time, Li Kai's side quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. Despite their desperate resistance, they were still unable to stop the enemy's frenzied attack.
More and more soldiers and personal guards fell around him.
A barrage of arrows pierced through the armor, claiming countless lives; sharp spears pierced through the still-beating hearts from behind.
Li Kaixin was extremely anxious.
He could only fight back desperately, and soon his body was covered in wounds.
Blood stained the general's armor.
I don't know how many days and nights they fought desperately.
One by one, the soldiers around him fell. Li Kai was exhausted to the extreme. His hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, and he was panting heavily.
His body felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he could collapse at any moment.
"Why are the reinforcements so late?" He was extremely anxious.
However, just when they were on the verge of despair, a soldier who had called for help risked his life and ran back to Li Kai's side.
Taking advantage of a lull in the enemy's attack, he pressed his left hand firmly on the soldier's shoulder, forcing himself to remain calm, and asked in a low voice, "Where are the deputy general's reinforcements?"
"We haven't heard from the deputy general since!" the soldier replied.
At this moment, atop the mountain cliff.
Deputy General Liu Yi, mounted on his steed, stood proudly on a high vantage point, coldly surveying his superior, Li Kai, who was trapped in a tight encirclement of enemy troops.
335. She is mine to keep.
A sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips as he thought to himself, "Once I get rid of you, she will be mine."
Behind him, a squad of iron-willed guards stood solemnly, their eyes cold, seemingly oblivious to everything before them, letting their commander Li Kai be besieged.
"Vice General, we beg you to send reinforcements to rescue General Li immediately!" Not far away, several soldiers who had stumbled upon this place were forcibly detained and knelt on the ground pleading.
Among them were ordinary soldiers as well as Li Kai's personal guards.
The ordinary soldiers were confused and could only plead desperately; but Li Kai's personal guards saw through the scheme and realized that their commander's ambush was clearly a meticulously planned conspiracy.
They glared at Liu Yi, their eyes practically spitting fire, and demanded sharply, "Liu Yi, how dare you plot against General Li! You are utterly audacious!"
"You plotted against General Li today, you will surely die a horrible death tomorrow!" The guard gritted his teeth, filled with extreme indignation.
As Liu Yi rode on his horse, he heard the guards' angry roar, and the cold smile on his lips became even more pronounced. He did not turn around, but simply raised his right hand and swung it downwards.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and a head rolled off.
All the soldiers and guards who came seeking reinforcements were brutally murdered by Liu Yi's personal troops, none of them surviving. Their bodies were quickly cleaned up, as if nothing had ever happened, to silence witnesses and erase all traces.
Liu Yi gazed at Li Kai struggling below the cliff, his smugness growing ever stronger.
"Without you, she can only belong to me, Liu Yi."
"Once she falls into my hands, I will use her body to dispel my hatred for you every night."
"And your daughter, once she grows up, she won't be able to escape my control either."
Below the cliff, Li Kai learned that the deputy general had disappeared without a trace. He immediately realized that there was something else going on behind this ambush, and that the traitor must be one of his own.
“Liu Yi…” he muttered to himself, gripping the sword hilt tightly.
At this moment, Liu Yi is nowhere to be found, and his identity as a traitor is obvious. Only he can control the entire army when Li Kai is not around.
His left hand fell limply to his side, and a sudden wave of panic washed over him.
"If I die here, what will become of her and her daughter?"
He gripped the sword tighter, afraid that he might loosen his grip due to fatigue.
Looking around, he saw that his guards had all bravely sacrificed themselves to protect him, and the remaining soldiers had suffered heavy casualties and their morale had completely collapsed.
They fled in panic, but could not escape the enemy's encirclement and fell one after another under the rain of arrows and spears.
"Too many enemy troops, run!"
"Where are the reinforcements? When will the deputy general's reinforcements arrive?"
"General Li, let's retreat! The enemy forces are too numerous, and many brothers have already fallen in battle!"
"I am willing to share life and death with the general, to die on the battlefield, and to sacrifice myself for the country!"
"kill!"
"I cannot die here!" Li Kai wiped the blood from his face. Despite being exhausted and covered in wounds, he gripped his longsword tightly and resolutely charged back into the enemy ranks.
His eyes were resolute and unwavering, as if a raging fire was burning in his chest.
The longsword in his hand, stained with blood, was swung even more fiercely.
"I have not yet fulfilled my promise to them, mother and daughter, how can I die now!"
"If I perish, how will my mother and daughter survive in this chaotic world?"
"I have not yet formally married her as my wife, let her be my General's wife Zhuangzhuang."
"My daughter is still an infant, she has just come into this world."
