For two days in a row, he stayed in the mourning hall where the concubine Peizhu's coffin was parked. inside.A new coffin was added to the mourning hall, in which lay his adopted son and general Chi Deli. Haitang seemed to see something from his sadness, and asked: "Father, is Chi Deli a good guy or a bad guy?" Hou Junji said with a sad face: "Didn't you call him a traitor to the Flying Tiger Army? Daddy wants to tell you today that there has never been a traitor in the Flying Tiger Army!" As he spoke, a line of dirty tears welled up in Hou Junji's eyes.Haitang looked at her father in amazement, and suddenly looked at Hou Junji with horror: "Could it be, could it be..."

Hou Junji said: "Remember, the person sleeping in this coffin is the same as Daddy, the one who loves you the most, and will give up everything, even life, for you." Haitang asked with a puzzled expression: "I really don't understand Understood, if this is the case, why did he still send that memorial to the King of Shu?" Hou Junji looked at Chi Deli's spirit tablet and said softly: "You are wrong, I sent someone to send that memorial .” Hearing these words, Haitang's heart was shocked, and she asked in surprise: "You? Daddy, why did you do this?"

Hou Junji looked up at Haitang and said, "For my daughter! In this world, I only have one relative, and I can't tolerate anyone hurting her, even the slightest bit! Don't you see that someone is stepping on the crown prince?" Are you pressing? The crown prince is benevolent, if he doesn’t help him defeat these guys sooner or later, he will lose the East Palace sooner or later. I can’t let my daughter suffer the pain that the concubines of the former hidden crown prince Li Jiancheng endured, so—— " Haitang said with tears in her eyes: "Then can you sacrifice Brother Chi's life?" Hou Junji said: "You are wrong again, no one wants him to sacrifice, this is his own choice!" Surprised, Hou Junji told him the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that everything that happened in the past few days was actually co-designed by Hou Junji and Chi Deli. They set up a trap to lure Li Ke step by step. came in.And Chi Deli took refuge in Li Ke, just to use himself as a bait to lure Li Ke into the bait.Hou Junji couldn't bear to do this at first, but Chi Deli insisted that for the sake of Haitang, he had to do this!Hou Junji couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to sing the oboe with him.

After listening to her father's recounting, Haitang was deeply shocked, she really did not expect that that seemingly ordinary brother-in-law would have such great love for her, facing Chi Deli's spirit card, tears splashed down her face.Hou Junji said sadly: "He is the loneliest person in the world. He doesn't know who his parents are. He brought nothing, left nothing, and took nothing away!" Haitang burst into tears Ying said: "No, he brought us the best interpretation of loyalty, left the world with the longest memory, and he also took away the happiness I wanted."

Hou Junji said: "Happy? His life is so hard, how can he be happy?" Haitang looked into his father's eyes and said, "Because I saw with my own eyes that he walked away with a smile. From this smile, I saw a Happy heart." As she spoke, her eyes moved to the deep sky outside the window, and she suddenly called out: "Daddy, look!" Hou Junji raised his head and followed his daughter's eyes, a shooting star streaked across the night sky , leaving a brilliant trail. Haitang wiped away tears and said: "It's so beautiful! Erniang said that when each soul ascends to heaven, a star will be added in the sky, and that star must be Brother Chi!" Hou Junji looked at his daughter, already Too sad to speak.

Haitang suddenly turned to ask her father: "Daddy, I have been holding back a sentence for a long time. Please tell the truth to my daughter in the face of Brother Chi's undead—are you really greedy for a million taels?" Junji lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. He took out a piece of ropa from his bosom and handed it to Haitang: "Read the poem on this ropa." Haitang read softly: The fragrance of silver petals grows in the spring forest, The two cores are connected with each other. Remnants of thousands of flowers are shattered by cold dew, Baibu Fangfei is still with you.

Hou Junji asked his daughter to connect the first word of each sentence and read it backwards. Haitang was dumbfounded, and the four words turned out to be: "One million taels of silver".Hou Junji told his daughter that the poem was written by Mu Yikuan, and it was a document issued by the Dou family. Luopa fell from Haitang's hands, and she asked, "Daddy, how many battles have you fought in your life, can you count them?" Hou Junji replied that he couldn't remember clearly, there must have been more than three hundred times . Haitang looked at her father sadly and said, "You were a famous tiger general in the previous court. You were shot with spears, bayonets, and arrows, leaving dozens of wounds on your enemies, but you were never defeated once. Why did you die this time?" Was it defeated by money?" After speaking, Haitang burst into tears with great concern.Hou Junji felt uncomfortable, and said softly: "Son, can you listen to what Daddy has to say?" Haitang just kept crying and didn't speak.

Hou Junji said to himself: "On the day we captured Dingjie Dazhai, we discovered that hidden money bank. That was the first time I saw so much silver. I asked Chi Deli to pay the public, and he At that time, I said a word to my father. He said, now that my father is a general, I can spare some energy to support the orphans and children of the Flying Tiger Army, but my father is an upright official. In the future, my father will no longer be a general. What about those people? Who can they count on?" Haitang broke down in tears again.Hou Junji went on to say: "I sat in that room all night, thought all night, and was sad all night, and finally took this step. But, you know how difficult it is to take this step! Your father and I It is a person who has died so many times, and I have never felt scared, but this time, I am really scared. If you die because of corruption and crimes, you will be left alone in this world to bear the crime for me. How can I close my eyes under Nine Springs!" At this point, Hou Junji was already in tears.

Haitang cried loudly and threw herself into her father's arms, saying: "No, Daddy, I don't hate you, you are the best daddy in this world!" Li Ke hung a fishing rod on the pond, with a jug of wine beside him, and Chai Zhewei stood behind him.After being fooled this time, the power of the Shu Palace suffered a serious setback, and Li Ke also felt disheartened.Losing those two important seats made his heart ache, and being tricked so easily made him even more heartbroken, and a sense of frustration enveloped his heart. He has been hiding here for seven days, unwilling to see his former friends, because he felt At this time, every pair of eyes looking at him is full of ridicule and gloating.

While pouring himself a drink, Li Ke said to Chai Zhewei: "Zhewei, my ship seems to be sinking, and it doesn't make any sense for you to hang out with me anymore. I wrote a letter to Cheng Zhijie for you, Let him protect you as a commanding officer in the army or something, so you can go earlier, so you can get a background. Your father has to avoid suspicion, it has been difficult to support you, this is an opportunity."
