Chapter 113 Crossroads
Li Yuan left after drinking in the restaurant. He was able to come to the restaurant as his identity, which was a great pleasure.
Li Hu, Su Su, and Sun Erniang were not very honored that Li Yuan could come in person. They personally sent him out and watched Li Yuan and the guards ride away from Fang Zhi.
After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan were left behind, and they were both left to see each other off, waiting for Li Chongjiu and the others to leave the city.
Under the restaurant in Dong County, the guards who were about to go on the road were crowded in the middle of the road, and there was a bustling crowd. The escorts from the Li family escort bureau were maintaining order.
The major caravans in Taiyuan, Yanmen, took this trip and were about to pass the autumn season to go to the grassland to find Xi people to trade them and exchange them for cattle and sheep skins.
After this Turkic attack, people were in panic. The five tribes of the Xi tribe always regarded the Turkic people as Niu Er and were their vassal tribes.
Many people have heard that this time the Turkic Khan ordered troops in the Daihai and surrounded the Fenyang Palace. The five tribes of the Xi tribe also sent troops to join the Turkic team, which undoubtedly means that the Xi tribe also accepted the letter of surrender and broke the face with the Sui Dynasty.
So compared with the caravans that traded in Mobei in the past, with 2,000 people and 4,500 mules and horses, this time, the caravans that went out of Mobei were half smaller. Most of them were waiting and watching.
The merchants did not know what the Xi tribes had to do with each other after the Turks turned against each other, but many merchants still insisted on the principle that business still had to be done, but it was inevitable that they would add some worry to the future.
Li Shimin was enthusiastically talking to Su Su and Sun Erniang about the details of this trip to the frontier.
The managers of major chambers of commerce are now surrounded by Li Hu and are named the champion Marquis of the Emperor of Sui Dynasty. Li Chongjiu's status is different now than in the past, and Li Hu has also become different. Countless people have cursed each other. "Hey, General Li, if you hadn't reminded us last time, we would have had a great loss, otherwise we would have lost this kind of kindness, and I would have been unable to repay this kind of kindness."
"That's right. I have a pearl in my palm. I haven't gotten married yet. I'm just about the same age as my nephew. Do you think...hehe?"
"Your daughter, where is my daughter and a lady? My beautiful girl is unparalleled in appearance. No one doesn't say good things. Do you think..."
Li Zhiwan looked at the scene, but she felt a little funny and a little sad. She saw Li Chongjiu walking towards her with his war horse, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Sanniang, thank you and Brother Shimin for coming to see you off this time." Li Chongjiu said.
Li Zhiwan smiled sweetly and said, "Why do you thank me? Sanniang hasn't thanked you yet."
"Thank me?" Li Chongjiu asked with a smile. Li Zhiwan nodded and said, "If you hadn't offered your advice to your second brother, how could we use the iron cavalry to rescue the emperor? If you hadn't assassinated Shibi Khan alone, how could we repel the Turks and save the tens of thousands of people in Yanmen, so as not to let them wander in the grassland."
Li Chongjiu thought of the scene on the battlefield a few days ago, and still felt cold sweat.
It was a desperate move at that time, and he was gambled.
Before the 200,000 Turkic cavalry, he assassinated Shibi Khan. If he had to do this again, would he still be so ready to die?
Li Zhiwan looked at the guards who were swarming around, and showed a look of relief on her face, saying, "The tens of thousands of people in Yanmen do not know. Their grace for life is actually given by Brother Li. The one who truly made contributions is unknown, but Sanniang cannot not know it. Therefore, on behalf of these tens of thousands of people in Yanmen, I would like to thank Brother Li for his life-saving grace."
Seeing Li Zhiwan's eyes looking at her brightly, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the crowds of people, the bustling family, the elderly and the young, even if they curse, they were happy.
Compared to being used as a pig or dog slave to go far away, and finally dying from a foreign land, it is so much better.
Li Chongjiu suddenly found the answer to what he had done before. Just as before, he could save a little girl from a human trafficker, all of this made sense.
Li Chongjiu nodded and looked at Li Zhiwan, but said in a bit of teasing way: "You thank me, you can't just say nothing. How can you thank me?"
Li Zhiwan was surprised. He never expected Li Chongjiu to speak so straightforwardly. Her face turned red. She, who was always heroic, suddenly showed a silly look and said, "Brother Li, why do you want me to thank you?"
Speaking of this, Li Zhiwan couldn't help but feel a little expectant and a little fear of the unknown.
Li Chongjiu glanced at Li Hu and said with a smile: "Why don't you just tell me a marriage."
Li Zhiwan's heart sank, but she suddenly said nothing on her face: "Brother Li is different from the past. I believe that the women in the past should not look down on them."
Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "That may not be."
When Li Zhiwan heard Li Chongjiu say this, she was delighted and said, "Please forgive me for saying that although Brother Li has succeeded in the past, he is from a poor family and has a shallow foundation."
"If you want to go one step closer in your career in the future, you must have the support of aristocratic families. Aristocratic families also need to borrow the momentum of Brother Li's rise. The combination of the two is indeed a good choice." Li Chongjiu was suddenly stunned when she heard Li Zhiwan say this. She was indeed very reasonable.
Li Chongjiu looked at Li Zhiwan, and saw the two of them contact each other. Her eyes quickly turned around. Li Chongjiu had experienced so much in his previous life, so how could he not hear the implicit sound?
You should know that although Li Chongjiu is now ten years old, he has experienced in his thirties in his previous life.
A man in his thirties cannot be as emotional as a young man in his teens and twenties. He was successful in his previous life and was numb about the experience of breaking up and getting back together in his relationships. In the end, he had already become much less indifferent.
However, after traveling through time, there were all kinds of misunderstandings and many entanglements with Li Zhiwan, which has been extended to this day. Li Chongjiu was also a little moved by Li Zhiwan. This was not the kind of feelings in the wine pond and meat forest in his previous life.
The crowd burst into laughter from time to time, and Li Hu, who was sought after from all sides, was full of red light and was very happy.
Li Zhiwan had been looking forward to Li Chongjiu's response, but she saw that Li Chongjiu was in deep thought at this moment.
Li Chongjiu thought that if he wanted to marry Li Zhiwan, Li Yuan had to nod and agree. This was yes. If he really became Li Yuan's son-in-law, he would undoubtedly be the pawn of the Li family.
Needless to say, according to historical laws, the Li family will eventually win the world, and after winning the world, Li Shimin is quite good to the heroes, much better than Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang.
As a minister who follows the dragon, you don’t have to work too hard, and you can also live a life of life and wait for death. You can protect your future generations for three generations, at least there will be no problems before the Anshi Rebellion.
The disadvantage is that this is the case. I guess Li Chongjiu can be ranked first in Lingyan Pavilion, and then the struggle will be almost done. A hundred years later, when I closed my eyes, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.
The world continues to govern and chaotic cycle.
