Personal Guard (3)
"Why are you talking about this? We're talking about our daughter right now!" Madam Li reminded Li Tianjun, trying to bring the topic back on track and prevent it from getting out of hand.
"Don't say so much. Li Yue has Li Yue own ideas. When has she ever caused you any worry? Sometimes, you parents should let go a little. If I had been like you, do you think you would be together?" Grand Marshal Li said, looking at his son and daughter-in-law.
"This..." Li Tianjun and his wife remained silent.
Their union has a story, and it's quite a story. There were many obstacles between them. According to Grand Marshal Li, if he had opposed them, they would never have had the chance to be together.
"We are us, she is her. That Ford Fox is really terrible, he's really not suitable," Li Tianjun said, his tone much softer, but he was still objecting.
"You should have noticed this just now. Li Yue said that you can't judge things by appearances. In other words, there are some things you haven't seen, but Li Yue has. That's why she believes that Ford Fox!" Grand Marshal Li continued.
"Back then, who among you could have imagined that the thirteenth son of the Ye Clan could achieve what he has today? You all thought he was a fool, but what happened? Even the current emperor couldn't stop him, letting him escape with the Ye Clan family. That was under tight security; who could have believed he could escape with his people? And who could have thought they could do it themselves?"
"This is a lesson to teach you that you shouldn't judge things by appearances alone!"
"This..." Li Tianjun silent. He still remembered this matter vividly. He had some connection with Ye Chengtian and had also met Ye Lang. He felt that he had misjudged Ye Chengtian, and to the point of being blind.
At this moment Li Yue said, "Actually, you don't need to stop him. He will be here today and will go to the Emperor's banquet with me. However, I don't want you to see him, so as not to cause any bad influence on you."
"He's going to the Emperor's birthday banquet? Does he even have the right to do that? Don't bring people along randomly, or the Emperor will be unhappy." Li Tianjun ignored everything else and just looked at Li Yue. He felt that Li Yue was doing this for Ye Lang, secretly taking Ye Lang to Zhao Yarou's birthday banquet.
If that's the case, then there's a problem. If Zhao Yarou finds out, she will definitely be punished. This is a risk we can't take!
"If he doesn't go, I think the Emperor will be unhappy. He was personally invited by the Emperor," Li Yue said.
"What?! You're saying he was personally invited by the Emperor? How is that possible? Does the Emperor even know him?" Li Tianjun and the others were filled with questions; this news greatly surprised them.
"They had only known each other for a short time, during the hunt, but the Emperor's attitude toward him was very strange. I can't say too much about the specifics, the Emperor forbids us to speak out!" Li Yue said.
"..." The Li Family members all fell silent.
"As expected, you can't judge a book by its cover. This Ford Fox is very shrewd. I never imagined he had a connection with the Emperor," Li Tianjun exclaimed.
Fortunately, I haven't made any major mistakes in front of him, otherwise I might not even know how I died.
Not only Li Tianjun, but Li Yan was also secretly relieved that he had survived; it was a really good outcome.
From what I can see now, Li Yan thinks that Ye Lang to the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower may not have been accidental, but rather because he went there on Zhao Yarou's orders. After that, Zhao Yarou took advantage of the situation to try and kill him.
"Don't tell anyone about this, I think the Emperor will be unhappy," Li Yue said. "You should already know a little about him, but there is still a lot you don't know. So, I hope you will respect my choice."
"We will respect your choice, but if we know you are wrong, we will still choose to interfere." Li Tianjun still refuses to relinquish his right to be a father.
"Whatever! Can I leave now?" Li Yue said.
"You...go..." Li Tianjun said with some difficulty. Things had already come to this point, could he still keep Li Yue? That seemed impossible and very unwise.
What the people here didn't expect was that just as Li Yue was about to step out the door, she received a report from a servant.
"Reporting to your master, Iron Blood Guard has brought Ford Fox to visit."
"What?!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone present knew who this Iron Blood Guard was. He was one of the top ten experts of the empire, a powerful expert who had always kept a low profile but whose strength was beyond imagination.
As mentioned above, this Iron Blood Guard rarely appears in public, so few people know about him. However, it is certain that his strength is comparable to that of the Sword Saint, but his fame is much lower than that of the Sword Saint!
There are other stories about this Iron Blood Guard. He wasn't someone Zhao Yarou through her influence; she discovered him herself and had been secretly working for Zhao Yarou for a long time.
It is said that Zhao Yarou has many people like Iron Blood Guard, and she has cultivated a very strong team. Even the original royal elite guards are no match for these people.
Of course, some of these people have now become official royal guards, while others remain Zhao Yarou's secret unit.
The appearance of Iron Blood Guard is one of the demonstrations of Zhao Yarou's strength!
Many people tried various ways to please Iron Blood Guard after he appeared, but it is said that they all failed. He did what he should do and did not do anything he shouldn't.
Regardless, Iron Blood Guard, is an important figure in Zhao Yarou's faction and would not normally appear. However, he has now appeared and come with Ye Lang, which has surprised the Li Family.
At the same time, Li Yue was also surprised by this; she hadn't expected Zhao Yarou to value Ye Lang so much!
"Iron Blood Guard, what brings you here?" Li Tianjun went out to greet him. Although Iron Blood Guard was just a guard, Li Tianjun, as a high-ranking official, held a much higher status.
However, he could not afford to be complacent, after all, Iron Blood Guard was Zhao Yarou's person, and at the same time, he was also a master, an extremely powerful master.
In every aspect, this ensured that even a high-ranking official like him would not dare to be negligent.
