His Rui Chapter 777 Preparing For The War

Chapter 777: Preparing For The War

When Xi Ying went back to Xi Manor, he told everything to his wife. He was slightly hesitant to do so because he was afraid that she would worry and it was not good for her health.

However, he also knew that Li Rui didn't like it when sothing was being hidden from her intentionally.

The invisible wall that General Li had between him and his daughter was because of this. He didn't want that sa wall between him and his wife so he told her everything without hiding anything.

Li Rui was silent. Looking at her calm face, Xi Ying didn't believe that she was also this calm from the inside. He held her hand and squeezed it gently as if assuring her. His voice was firm when he spoke "Don't worry, I will send many shadow guards and help to the border. Nothing wrong will happen... Li Rui looked at him and nodded her head.

She knew that no one could be blad for such a thing. However, she still couldn't help but wonder what exactly Zhao Wang Lei wanted from all this.

Was he so desperate to destroy her Clan that he could commit treason as well by helping other Empire attack his own Empire_especially when he was the Emperor of the sa Empire?

She had been told by Xi Ying the reason Zhao Wang Lei had wanted to kill her. Even at that ti, she had found it very ridiculous. She was just a child at that ti when he started his attacks. How could he think that she could harm

him?

Regarding this, she had many thoughts but it was of no use. A person who believed in all this for so many years couldn't be brought out of his illusions.

Fortunately, he was no longer alive to harm Xin any more. "I will collect so herbs and send to the border? Xi Ying nodded his head and accompanied his wife to get the herbs.

On the other hand, General Li was summoned to the Imperial Palace. The whole Li Manor and the Imperial City were now aware of what happened at the border. Hence, when the soldier ca and inford them about General Li being summoned to the Imperial Palace, their faces were grim.

The people from the third household, Li Sying, and Li Jiang's wife had pale faces.

Li Jiang was at the border this ti. Although no news regarding any casualty ca from the border, they were worried.

It was only because of Li Heng and Li Qiang that Li Jiang's wife could hold herself together. She knew that the three brothers loved each other very much and would always back each other without any conditions.

Li Qiang accompanied General Li when the latter left Li Manor. They were still not in the terms of conversing with each other.

However, both brothers knew that it was very crucial to stay united at such tis.

Inside the Zhao Zhang Wei's study room, only General Li could go and LiL#ang waited outside for his younger brother.

Almost half a shichen later when General Li stepped outside, his face was somber.

Li Qiang surely noticed this, however, he didn't dare to ask anything then and there. They left the Imperial Palace and it was only when they entered the Li Manor did he ask his brother. What is the matter, Li Heng? Li Heng looked at his brother and said

"His Majesty wonders if we are enough powerful to defeat the neighboring Empire completely this ti. He wishes to omit this threat to our soldiers completely. He said that no one would dare to attack Xin after this if we defeated them this ti."

Li Qiang went silent at these words. It was after a few monts that he spoke "His Majesty said wise words." However, it ant war.

A war could result in either victory or defeat. However, what accompanied it was the loss of lives of many soldiers.

However, they couldn't bla Emperor for such a decision.

In fact, in the past, Li Clan had suggested Zhao Wang Lei the sa many tis. Rather than having their soldiers sacrifice their lives after every few months because of a small attack from them, it would be better to eliminate this threat completely.

However, now when it was the ti of the war, their heart felt slightly heavy. We will fight, Heng." Li Qiang spoke in a serious but earnest voice. "Yes° General Li agreed without any hesitation when he heard his elder brother's voice which was fearless. That night, no one slept in the Li Manor. General Li with Li Qiang summoned all the soldiers. There were many things to do.

It was only until the next morning that the Imperial Palace announced that there would be war at the border. All the people who could contribute to so extent could do so and the things would be sent to the border.

When news reached Xi Manor, neither Xi Ying nor Li Rui was surprised. When Li Rui expressed her wish to visit Li Manor, Xi Ying agreed and imdiately made arrangents for the sa.

In one night, all the things that Xi Manor was going to send were also prepared. There were six to seven carriages filled with different kinds of things.

Xi Ying could send more but he decided to do so after every few weeks and not in one go. With these things, the herbs Li Rui collected were also sent to Li Manor.

When they reached Li Manor, Li Rui found her mother and her aunts sitting in the living room with her younger sister, Li Sying.

Xi Ling had of course accompanied his mother so when he saw his cousin sister Li Sying, who used to pull his cheeks and make his face like a bun, he imdiately hid behind his mother.

However, when Li Sying saw Li Rui, she imdiately ran to her and hugged her gently keeping in mind that her sister was pregnant.

"Elder Sister, I am so scared. Father...Second Brother and Elder Brother would they be alright? Brother Yi Lei is also on the border."

Li Rui patted her sisters back and comforted her. She told her that if she would not hold herself together, they would no one to take care of her mother.

When her father would co to know of this, he would be very disappointed in her.

Li Sying looked at her mother when she realized this. Her eyes went teary when she looked at her mother's pale face. Her mother didn't cry like her but she could see that she was no less scared than her.

Li Sying imdiately wiped her face and went back to her mother.

When Yi Pe saw Li Rui, she smiled a little but her smile was not as vibrant as in the past Li Rui knew that her mother's heart must be heavy thinking that her father would have to go to the border for war.

Li Rong who was sitting silent with a pale face saw Li Rui and Xi Ying and stood up to leave. Everyone looked at her for a mont before they took back their gazes and didn't say anything. "How are you?" Yi Jie's voice was slightly hoarse when she asked Li Rui this question. Perhaps because she didn't sleep at night, her face looked pale. "I am fine, Mother. Where is Father? "He is in the study room with your elder Uncle." Li Rui nodded her head and Yi Jie said suddenly "1 will go and call him. He didn't have anything since last night." Li Rui nodded her head and accompanied her mother. When the door of the study room was knocked, General Li ca to open it. When he saw his wife's pale face, he was distressed but didn't know what to say. He knew that his wife was worried, however, it was his duty to fight for the country. He knew that she also understood this and it was just her love for him that made her so worried. Not only this, their son Li Diu was also on the border with Li Cheng and Li Jiang. It was reasonable for her to worry. "Heng, let's eat sothing." General Li nodded his head on hearing his wife's words and looked at his elder brother inside the

room.

Li Qiang gathered the docunts on the table and then stepped out with General Li.

It was only inside the dining room that General Li saw his daughter and Xi Ying. Looking at her stomach, his eyes were gentle and he asked about her well-being.

Everyone soon sat to have breakfast.

Today they had breakfast in the common dining room instead of having it in their own courtyards.

Li Rong was unwilling to have sothing while sitting at the sa table as Li Rui and Xi Ying, however, when she realized that her husband would leave for the border soon, she couldn't miss this special mont.

The atmosphere at the table was not so good. It was almost at the end of the al that General Li announced. We will depart in a shichen." "That soon...? Yi Jie couldn't help but whisper. "Is everything ready?" General Li nodded his head at his wife's question. Yi Pe swallowed and then nodded her head with a determined faced "Things are ready from my side as well? General Li knew what she was talking about. It must be food and clothes for the soldiers. He nodded his head and everyone continued their breakfast with heavier hearts. In a shichen, all the things that were collected from the people of the city were also sent to Li Manor. Xi Ying also brought many carriages. Li Manor also sent many things.

Since the war was decided all of a sudden, there were not as much as soldiers as he wanted to accompany him. However, General Li had already made arrangents so that news would reach the villages and the soldiers who had gone to their houses for a few days would directly go to the border.

With almost seven hundred soldiers, General Li and Li Qiang departed for the border..
