Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 942

Outside Luoyang city, the canal wharf.

Imperial Concubine Li Xiuning and Duke Zhao Li Xuanba came to the pier together to see off brother Li Shimin who was about to go to Jiaozhi County, Guangnan Road.

Li Shimin wore a white robe, a soft-footed headband on his head, and a leather belt around his waist.

At this time, his left eye was covered with a black eyepatch, his beard was unkempt, and it was scattered all over his face. He looked more like a gangster.

Li Xiuning fetched a pair of trousers and tied them around his brother's waist himself.

"When you go out, remember to take care of yourself."

This pair of bunting belts was made by herself. The belt and the hanging belt are made of thin silver sheet. The front end of the silver belt is riveted with a gold buckle, a gold hoop, and eleven civil and military pieces nailed in the middle. A gold belt with animal face patterns, five peach-shaped gold belts with holes nailed on the back, and a gold gui-shaped tail nailed at the end of the belt.Each of the eleven belts has "ancient eyes" on them, and a small belt underneath, nailed with a gold belt decoration, and a small gold belt hoop.

This is a belt with a strong storage function, which can hang a water bottle.

You can also hang money bags, fans, sachets, hand knives, horizontal knives, quiver bags, and even hang paper, ink, pens and inkstones on them, almost as long as they are commonly used personal belongings, you can wear them. On this belt.

Li Xiuning was smiling on the surface, but she was always agile, but she couldn't fix the belt on the side of the belt no matter what.

In the end, Li Shimin smiled and fixed it himself.

"Third sister, do you think I look like a Chang'an ranger when I wear this?"

"You can still laugh. Going to Jiaozhi, Guangnan, the road is far away, and the ends of the earth. I don't know if you can adapt to the scorching heat over there."

Li Shimin seemed to be careless, "Third sister, you worry too much. There are many people from Lingnan who were originally officials from the Central Plains. They lived well there. Even Luo Yi, Gao Shilian and the others have stayed in Lingnan for several years, and I haven't seen anything missing from them."

Between the words, a trace of loneliness flashed in Li Shimin's one eye.

In fact, Sanniang and the others have been persuading him, even Chai Shao and Li Shentong and the others, saying that now that the general situation has been settled, it is meaningless to continue to confront, it is better to keep your head down.

As long as Li Shimin is willing to bow his head, they believe that he can still retain his title and even get a good job.

But Li Shimin was not willing to bow his head to Luo Cheng.

At first Luo Cheng said that he would be sent to Daifang County, and later he was sent to Wuchuan, but he ignored him, and finally sent him to Guangnan.

Going to Guangnan is also good. In this way, you can stay away from the Central Plains. Maybe you can go to the far corner of the South China Sea, so that you can really let go of this chaos and find peace again.

"Second Brother, you apologize to His Majesty for your mistake, and Third Sister and I will beg His Majesty again for you, His Majesty will definitely let you stay, don't leave, don't go to Guangnan, okay?" Xuan Ba begged him a bit like a child.

Li Shimin reached out to pat Xuan Ba's shoulder, but suddenly found that Xuan Ba ​​was much taller than him, and he could no longer pat his shoulder.

"Xuanba, I implicated you. Originally, you were the Duke of the state, but now you are the Duke of the county."

"Second brother, as long as you stay, even if the Duke doesn't want it, I'm willing."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have never dealt with Luo Cheng and I have never dealt with him, so it is impossible for me to get along with him. If I stay, it will only cause me pain. I might as well just leave. Fourth brother, for him I will take good care of Sanniang, the eldest sister and the second sister."

Luo Siye invaded Chang'an and killed Li Yuan's sons who were in Chang'an at that time, even the newborns were spared, but Li Yuan's daughters were spared, the married and unmarried were left alone.

These women, except for a few who were married, were not affected much. The other young ones were taken to Luoyang by Xuan Ba, and two of the older sisters were given to Luo Siye as concubines by the emperor.

"I'm gone, maybe I'll never come back again." Li Shimin turned around with a smile, but after turning around, tears were rolling in his eyes.

He didn't know why he had to go through with Luo Cheng, but he couldn't get over his own hurdle, he couldn't accept this weakness and bow his head, he would rather live in Lingnan forever and never come back for life.

"Second brother!"

Outside the pier, a carriage came rushing under the guard of a group of knights.

The car curtain was lifted, but it was Li Shimin's younger sister who was married to Luo Siye.

"Why are you here?"

The two girls from the Li family held Li Shimin's hand and refused to let go, "Second brother."

Li Shimin forced a smile on his face, "You are all right in Prince Jin's Mansion, Luo Siye didn't bully you, right?"

The girl shook her head, "She is okay with us."

It's just that Li Shimin found something wrong with his sister's expression when she said this, "You tell the truth."

The other sister smiled wryly, "Prince Jin is usually nice to us and very respectful. But when he gets drunk, he beats and scolds us."

"That bastard Luo Siye!" Li Shimin scolded angrily.

"Second brother, don't scold. In fact, King Jin didn't mean it, but he was too sad, so sometimes he couldn't help but want to drink away his sorrow. After he was drunk, he couldn't control himself."

"You guys still speak up for killing your father and enemy?" Li Shimin said angrily.

The two girls stopped talking, so what could they do? Although they were born in a noble and noble family, they were still just women after all, and they could not decide their own destiny independently.

Even if the third sister is a noble concubine, it's not the same, can't she still protect the Li family?

Seeing their appearance, Li Shimin let out a long sigh.

Li Shimin turned around and left. Although there were cries from the sisters behind him, he still bravely stepped forward and jumped onto the boat.

He didn't look back, because he was afraid that if he turned back, he would not be able to hold back his tears.

Farewell, Luoyang.

Farewell, Zhongyuan.

Perhaps, Annan will never return to the Central Plains this time.

Or maybe, Luo Cheng is now self-willed, full of arrogance, and doing all kinds of perverse actions, otherwise he will be betrayed by everyone. At that time, maybe he will come back again.

However, the father will never be resurrected again, and the brothers will never be brought back to life.

"Shimin, take care of yourself on the road!"

Li Xiuning shouted loudly from behind.

Li Shimin's shoulders shook a few times, but in the end he didn't turn around, but just raised his arms and waved them behind him.

Liu Niang watched the boat drift away, until it became blurred.

She turned around and bowed to San Niang.

"Sister, we will leave Luoyang City in a few days. Maybe we will be in a hurry and we won't have time to enter the palace to bid farewell, so we will bid farewell here today."

"Leaving Luoyang? Where are you going?"

Li Liuniang told her sister that Jin Wangfei Cui Shi had told the two sisters that the Jin Wang was about to grant a fief, and then went to Zhifan to take over the country, and they would go with them at that time.

"The land of the vassal? Where is the seal?" Li Xiuning asked.
