Chapter 358: The Desolate Li Chenggui and His Son
Zhu Di was leading people to patrol the horse farm on Jeju Island, but unexpectedly, a shepherd suddenly ran and knelt in front of him. This scared all the guards around him. They drew their swords and put them on the neck of the shepherd. With Zhu Di's order, he could be dismembered from his corpse immediately.
"Your Highness, Li Fangyuan's crime is unforgivable, but I would like to give you a chance to serve the dog and horse!" The shepherd shouted loudly to Zhu Di at this time, with a vicissitudes of life and begging.
"Li Fangyuan?" Hearing this familiar name, Zhu Di also showed a look of surprise. He looked at the other party carefully and found that the shepherd was Li Fangyuan, the son of Li Chenggui. After their father and son were defeated, he was sent to Jeju Island. Unexpectedly, he was arranged to work in the horse farm.
However, after being surprised, Zhu Di snorted coldly and ordered: "Drag out!"
"Yes!" The guard immediately responded loudly, and then several people dragged Li Fangyuan to a distance and threw it into the horses. However, Li Fangyuan seemed a little unwilling to accept it. He actually got up and wanted to pounce again, but was kicked in the chest by a guard, which made him unable to get up again for a long time.

Zhu Di left here with a blank expression. He didn't know why Li Fangyuan suddenly ran to him for an opportunity, and he was not interested in knowing it, but he knew that as Li Chenggui's son, even if Li Fangyuan was willing to admit defeat, he was not trustworthy.
When he was lying in the horses, he got up again, Zhu Di had already walked away. Looking at Zhu Di's back as he was leaving, Li Fangyuan couldn't help but slap the ground hard, his face full of annoyance.
But at this moment, the officials who managed the horse herd came over with a few people. When they saw Li Fangyuan, several officials were so angry that they stepped forward and beat him because Li Fangyuan actually collided with His Highness King Yan. Fortunately, His Highness did not blame him, otherwise they would have been unable to escape death.
Li Fangyuan hugged his body tightly, but he had no response to the beat and scolding of the officials. For him, the physical pain was far less than the loss in his heart and made him even more unacceptable.
The last few officials were tired of fighting, and Li Fangyuan also collapsed on the ground with scars, his face was swollen, which made the officials feel angry and left cursed.
Li Fangyuan lay on the ground for a long time, and finally got up slowly. He wiped the blood from his forehead, and then limped back to the shack of the horse farm and lay down. His face, which had been through vicissitudes, was also full of numbness.
"Hehe, you've suffered a lot. I've told you a long time ago that the surname Zhu will definitely not trust our family!" At this moment, an old man with a hunchbacked body and wrinkled face walked to the shack and smiled. This old man was the famous Li Chenggui back then. He had become so old that he hadn't seen him for a few years.
Li Fangyuan looked up at his father at this time, and then said, "How can you know if you don't try it?"
"It's still a try? We fought a lot of war with Zhu Di at the beginning, and many of his soldiers died at our hands. This revenge has long been enormous and cannot be resolved. Even if you are willing to be a dog for him now, he will never take you in!" Li Chenggui mocked again, and as he said, he took off the wine gourd on his waist and poured a large sip of strong wine. Then he burped with satisfaction, and his old face turned red.
After several years of imprisonment, Li Chenggui had long worn out the ambitions of the Li family and his son, especially Li Chenggui had long given up on himself and even gave his youngest daughter to others just to change a pot of good wine.
However, this cannot be blamed on Li Chenggui. After Zhu Di exiled them to Jeju Island, he did not give any privileges. At first, he was just imprisoned. Later, local officials in Jeju were unwilling to raise a family for free, so they began to arrange for them to work in the horse farm, and all the assigned heavy work was tiring.
From the invisible Supreme King of Goryeo to the current groom, there is a huge gap in identity. No matter how strong the person is, he will probably be completely defeated. Especially when Zhu Di held Goryeo firmly in his hands, Li Chenggui and his son had no hope, so in this case, Li Chenggui could only use strong wine to numb himself.
"I am still young and don't want to live like you like me!" Li Fangyuan glanced at his father and said again. In recent years, due to the hardships of life, Li Fangyuan and Li Chenggui have had many quarrels and conflicts, and the relationship between father and son has long disappeared. He even now only wants to find a way out for himself, and as for other family members, they have no care at all.
"After a sludge? A sludge? Haha... Haha..." When Li Chenggui heard his son's evaluation of him, he poured himself a few sips of strong wine again, and then staggered away with a smile. His life was over. It was rare that this son still had some unwillingness.
Li Fangyuan was lazy to look at his father's departure. Although their family was a prisoner, if it weren't for Li Chenggui's self-destruction, he wouldn't have fallen to this point. Even his sister in the family was exchanged for wine. Li Fangyuan's mother was so angry that she hanged herself, and the other brothers were all dispersed. The family could be said to be a family that was destroyed.
Time passed little by little. When it was almost dark, Li Fangyuan struggled to stand up, then led all the horses on the grass to the horse shed, and then added fodder to the horses. Someone would come to check later. If he didn't do it, he might be detained for food next month.
After finishing all this, Li Fangyuan came to his shack. This shack was actually part of the horse shed, and he was isolated from a small piece as his residence.
Li Fangyuan raised the fire outside the shack and boiled the water in the pot. Then he turned around and came to the shack and raised a bag from the innermost corner. After opening it, there were a few kilograms of old rice with a strange smell. However, Li Fangyuan was so angry that he poured out a small handful of rice inside and put it into the pot to cook it into porridge.
After the porridge was finished, Li Fangyuan put the pot on the ground. He had no bowl at all, so he could only wait for the porridge in the pot to cool before eating. During the period of waiting for the porridge, Li Fangyuan looked at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, and was also thinking about what happened today in his mind.
Li Chenggui has been defeated by the gap in identity, but in fact, Li Fangyuan is the same. In recent years, life without human beings or ghosts has made him completely give up his fantasy. In his opinion, the king's throne and imperial power and wealth have all passed away.
What Li Fangyuan is asking for now is actually very simple. He wants to live a life that a normal person should have, at least be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes, unlike now, who is a herd of horses every day, and sometimes he doubts whether he has become a horse?
It was also in this situation that when Li Fangyuan heard that Zhu Di came to the horse farm, he mustered up the courage to stop Zhu Di's team and ask for an opportunity from this former enemy. It was just an opportunity. Even if he was a cattle and a horse for Zhu Di, he would have to get rid of the current life that life was worse than death!
Thinking of this, Li Fangyuan couldn't help but feel sad and angry. Although he knew that his actions today were very rash, he had no other choice. He was trapped on this Jeju Island, except Zhu Di, and no one else could give him the chance to change his destiny.
"No, if I give up just once, then my second half of my life will be the same as him!" Li Fangyuan suddenly muttered to himself. At the end of the day, he couldn't help but look at another horse shed in the distance, which was the residence of his father Li Chenggui. I guess he was already drunk now.
Li Chenggui is old and has not had a few years to live, so he can give up on himself, but Li Fangyuan is still young. He is really unwilling to be a groom for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want to live like a mud for the rest of his life.
"You can't continue like this!" Li Fangyuan finally smacked the ground hard and then made a decision. He picked up the porridge in the pot and finished drinking it. It was already completely dark at this time, but Li Fangyuan stood up and quickly left the hut, and then disappeared into the vast darkness!
