Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Set Free!

Liu Sisi stepped forward slowly and gently tugged at her sleeve.

“Don’t cry anymore. We should go now.”

Ms. Zhao still wailed, but there were no tears on her face.

“I said, it’s time to leave. You don’t want to stay here and miss the hour. If you want to accompany father, tomorrow I can have someone build a hut next to it so you can keep him company every day.” At this time, many filial children had the custom of building a hut to guard the tomb for three years.

The three years of mourning here are not the modern three years, but the 25 months of the lunar calendar, equivalent to two modern years.

As for Ms. Zhao, Liu Sisi really couldn’t express her feelings, whether to say that she deserved it or that her loved one was not human.

“No! I’m not going, I want to stay here with him, I’m not going!”

Ms. Zhao stubbornly held onto Elderly Mr. Di’s tombstone, refusing to let go.

Liu Sisi was helpless, so she just gave Ms. Gao a look, and the two of them carried Ms. Zhao, forcibly pulling her off the tombstone and taking her back home.

Perhaps Ms. Zhao’s matter had affected everyone’s mood, and no one spoke until they returned to the Di Family.

“Ye Lei, come here, I have something to ask you.”

Di Hongyuan directly called to Di Yelei, who was about to enter the door, and turned to walk to a nearby pavilion.

The weather now was gradually getting colder, with golden leaves covering the ground.

He turned to look Di Yelei up and down, and seeing him half a head taller than himself, he reached out to pat his shoulder but gave up halfway through.

“I didn’t have a chance to ask you at the Flying Horse Hostel before. How did you follow His Majesty to escort him to the Flying Horse Hostel?”

In front of his own big brother, Di Yelei didn’t hide anything, and he recounted the truth about Liu Sisi’s identity and the events surrounding Zhao Yuanlang’s arrival in Macheng County.

“At that time, I was surrounded by heavy soldiers and thought I couldn’t escape. But I met you by accident and saved me. By the way, how did you get to the Flying Horse Hostel? Why were you dressed in cloth clothing? His Majesty seemed to rely heavily on you. What’s going on?”

“It’s hard to say in a few words. I’ll tell you about my situation when I have a chance later.” Di Hongyuan didn’t explain in detail.

“Ye Lei, when do you plan to leave?”

Di Hongyuan suddenly looked back at Di Yelei with a direct gaze.

Di Yelei didn’t understand Di Hongyuan’s meaning: “Big brother, Dad just passed away, where can I go?”

“A good man should defend his family and country, sacrificing small concerns for the greater good. At present, the Northern Liao is frequently harassing the border, and Xixia is even more eyeing our Great Zhao. Moreover, there is a rebel like Zhao Dun who claims to be the emperor, the princes in the capital have already pressured the palace, and the imperial court is in danger.”

“With such chaos in the court, you have the courage of tens of thousands of men and are a natural military talent! If you continue to stay in a small place like Macheng County, not only will it wear down your will, but it will also breed complacency in your heart. If this goes on, you will become just like everyone else!”

This accusation made Di Yelei’s face turn pale immediately: “Big brother, I am surprised and flattered that you have such a high evaluation of your third brother. However, Dad just passed away, and it would be inappropriate for me, Di Yelei, to leave at this time.”

“Rules are made by people. You choose to stick to the rules, even to the point of disregarding the lives of the world. This is the great disrespect!”

Di Hongyuan’s words were filled with condemnation, making it difficult for Di Yelei to fight back.
