The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 227 Traveling Far Away

In history, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was still a young man at this time. His chest was filled with ambitions. He was full of hope for the powerful Tang Dynasty and had his own way of governing the country.

But Tang Xuanzong Li Longji also knew clearly that the reason why the Tang Dynasty was so strong at this time was all thanks to the divine bird.

Regardless of whether the previous empress came to the throne, even if the empress had been on the throne until this time, the achievements of the Tang Dynasty would not be what they are now.

Not to mention that his throne was given by the divine bird. Without the recommendation of the divine bird, he would not have become the new emperor.

In a sense, whoever wants to be kind to him.

When Li Xinni saw Emperor Li Longji coming to visit, he immediately showed a solemn expression.

When Li Longji was still a child, he naturally came to her Yongan Princess Mansion to play with other children.

But more than ten years have passed, and now Li Longji has grown up, and his status has also undergone earth-shaking changes, becoming the emperor of the Tang Dynasty today.

As a princess, etiquette for the emperor is essential.

When Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, came to see Princess Yong'an preparing to welcome the emperor's transfer, he quickly showed a worried look and stopped him:

"Ancestors don't have to be like this!"

"The majesty of the Yellow Emperor cannot be abolished, and it should be like this!"

Li Xinni said stubbornly.

Seeing that the divine bird on the side did not speak, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji had to let Princess Yong'an go. After a formal ceremony and everyone sat in the hall, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji told the reason for his visit.

"I heard that our ancestors are planning to visit the Tang Dynasty again?"

"Exactly!"

Li Xinni nodded.

Seeing Li Xinni nodding, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji confirmed in his heart again. At the same time, he also understood that if Princess Yongan traveled around the world, the divine bird would definitely follow her.

If this is the case, to some extent, Chang'an will inevitably fall into emptiness.

Because the Republic of Divine Birds existed for the past ten years, everyone in Chang'an City could not help but feel that there was a Divine Bird above them, and they had nothing to worry about.

But if the divine bird suddenly leaves and is no longer in charge of Chang'an, the people in Chang'an, including Tang Xuanzong Li Longji himself, can't help but feel a little worried.

Li Xinni looked at Bai Zhi who was standing aside. Bai Zhi naturally knew what Tang Xuanzong and Li Longji were thinking, so he nodded slightly and said:

"I know the worries in your heart, and I still trust you quite a bit. Compared to others, you are more suitable to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Otherwise, I would not have chosen you to become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Hearing the divine bird speak, Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty suddenly showed a respectful look, leaning forward slightly, as if he was listening attentively.

"As long as you handle the government affairs of the court with all your heart and do not be influenced by external things. Don't hesitate to reuse virtuous people, punish them regardless of differences, and avoid similarities and differences. In this way, you can keep the stability of the Tang Dynasty for decades!"

"The most important thing is not to dwell on past achievements. You must know that everything in the world is constantly changing. The strength of the Tang Dynasty today does not mean the strength of the Tang Dynasty in the future."

"You must have a heart of awe, and you must be strict with yourself!"

After hearing what the divine bird said, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly felt a little scared. He himself felt the most about the divine bird's words.

Perhaps it was because he became the emperor. During this period of time when he became the emperor, he could feel that he was a little carried away.

At the same time, this advice to the divine bird in his heart made him feel endless awe and emotion.

What was awe-inspiring was that it seemed that the divine bird already knew that he would get carried away, so he warned himself in advance.

What was touching was that the words of the divine bird contained a strong sense of elder care, as if an elder was speaking his last words to his favorite descendants.

"Longji, remember!"

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji quickly stood up and bowed slightly, and said: "When I go back, I will write these words of the divine bird on paper and hang them in the palace and study room to alert myself every day!"

"good!"

Bai Zhi nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji also knew that the divine bird's explanation for him had ended here, so he immediately changed the subject and looked at Li Xinni beside him, "I wonder when our ancestors are going to leave? Do you need escorts?"

"Of course it's not needed."

Li Xinni shook her head and said.

Then Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty stayed at Princess Yong'an Mansion for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

The news that Princess Yong'an was leaving Chang'an to travel around the world did not spread, nor did it disturb too many people. Therefore, when Li Xinni set off on the day, not many people came to say goodbye.

This was also in line with Li Xinni's wishes. She walked quietly and freely, which made her feel very comfortable.

In Chang'an City in spring, both sides of the road are full of colorful flowers, especially outside the city. The weeping willows on both sides of the road are gently blowing, like a young girl blowing her long hair in the warm spring breeze. hair.

Li Xinni led Texue and slowly walked out of Chang'an City, walking on the official road outside the city. On the busy official road, there was an endless stream of carriages going in all directions, some of them were dignitaries, some were going to distant places. People who meet relatives also have merchants who transport goods.

Li Xinni is wearing a red and black dress. Ordinary clothes reflect a different style on her body. There is a touch of indifference on her beautiful face, making her temperament like an iceberg descending.

Perhaps knowing that her beautiful face would attract the attention of others, Li Xinni, wearing an ordinary bamboo hat on her head, holding a sword in one hand and a horse in the other, stopped randomly.

She couldn't help but look back at the magnificent city behind her. The huge city gate was like a wild beast opening its huge mouth, mercilessly devouring countless people.

Looking at this city where I have lived for many years, I seem to be familiar with every inch of it. Leaving it so suddenly makes me feel a lot of reluctance in my heart.

But there is no one she can miss. In fact, there are not many things she can miss. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for her indifferent temperament.

Li Xinni naturally noticed changes in herself, but she couldn't change it.

But now, the Women's Palace and the Gentleman's Tower, which really worried her, have been handed over to Emperor Li Longji. With the emperor's personal management, the Women's Palace and the Gentleman's Tower must be able to operate as before.

So there is no need for Li Xinni to worry.

"The next time I come back, I don't know how many years it will be, and I should be old too..."

Li Xinni murmured to himself, and when he mentioned that he was going to be old, he couldn't help but smile on his face. Then he shook his head slightly, stroked Tuxue's mane, and then continued to move forward.

Bai Zhi, who was staying on the willow tree not far away, looked at Li Xinni's reaction and naturally understood what Li Xinni was thinking.

From now on, he will no longer need to prevent Li Xinni from aging, which means that Li Xinni will age like a normal person.

Therefore, Li Xinni's trip this time is not only to travel around the world and appreciate the different scenery in the world, but also the process of Li Xinni getting older.

In the process, you will feel different feelings.

As Li Xinni gradually went away, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Bai Zhi also fell on Tuxue's back from the woods on both sides. Li Xinni walked all the way from Chang'an City to here, not very fast. .

And Li Xinni was also admiring everything on the roadside, the wild flowers blooming on the roadside, the trees with young leaves growing on the roadside, and the children and the elderly who were also traveling on the roadside.

It was gradually approaching noon, and there was no reverse journey before and after. Li Xinni could only eat lunch on the spot in the wild. However, this was not difficult for Li Xinni. He stepped into the woods and came out in a moment, holding a gray hare in his hand.

There happened to be a stream not far away. After some treatment, delicious rabbit meat was grilled. At this moment, a pair of grandfather and grandson who had left behind the seafood slowly walked up. They saw a woman grilling meat on the grass not far from the roadside. After hesitating for a moment, they slowly walked over.

The grass is green and the flowers are in bloom. Bees and butterflies swarmed, and there was a buzzing sound. The faint smell of grass mixed with the fragrance of flowers, as the slight spring breeze blows into the nose, makes people feel a faint sense of laziness.

Li Xinni was roasting rabbit meat. She felt so tired that she couldn't help but want to rest on the spot. But at this moment, she noticed her grandfather and grandson walking from a distance, and then she cast doubtful eyes on them. other side.

"This girl is so polite!"

The grandfather and grandson didn't come close. They stood two feet away from Li Xinni. Then they stood still. The older man, who must have been in his destiny, bowed to Li Xinni from a distance and said randomly:

"My grandfather and grandson have traveled here without any backtracking, and there is no home. However, the dry food we carried has been eaten up. I am an old man, so I don't have to eat lunch. However, my grandson is young and cannot bear hunger and thirst, so I take the liberty of doing so. Come here, I hope to buy some rabbit meat from the girl to satisfy my young grandson’s hunger!”

As the old man spoke, he took out some money from his arms, only a broken piece of silver and a large number of copper coins.

Seeing this, Li Xinni looked at the child beside the old man. The child was about five or six years old, but he was also sensible. Although he looked at the rabbit meat in front of him eagerly, he did not show any sign of prayer.

So Li Xinni immediately stood up and straightened her clothes, then bowed slightly to the old man in return, then nodded and said: "Of course you can!"

Then Li Xinni extended a gesture of invitation and said: "This rabbit meat is game. It is obtained naturally. Why do you need the elders' money to buy it? Besides, I am a woman. I can't eat all the rabbit. What's wrong with giving it to young children?" , how can you collect money!"

Hearing Li Xinni's words, the old man's face showed joy. He immediately took his young grandson beside him and sat beside the fire. Feeling the warmth from the fire, he said gratefully:

"The girl is kind-hearted and can give rabbit meat to my grandson. The old man is very grateful and gives me some money as a token of gratitude. I hope the girl will not refuse."

Li Xinni's eyes immediately fell on the old man and the child, and found that their clothes were all made of coarse cloth. It can be guessed that their families were not rich, but at this time they still firmly took out money to give to themselves as a thank you. You can tell that the other party He is a person who knows how to repay his kindness.

So Li Xinni didn't refuse, but still said: "The elders gave it to me, so I don't dare to refuse. But I only need to give you a few dollars, and you can use it as my hunting hard work!"

"Great!"

When the old man heard this, he also laughed with satisfaction. Then he said to the young child on the side: "Hurry up and call my sister!"

"Sister!"

The toddler was also sensible and immediately called Li Xinni crisply, "Auntie."

Later, two more people appeared next to Li Xinni's fire, and Li Xinni also chatted a lot with the old man, mostly about daily trivial matters.

"Where is my husband from?"

"Lao Chan is from Chengji, Longxi. In recent years, he has come to Chang'an with his eldest son. The eldest son runs a small business in Chang'an City and has made some money in these years. Therefore, he brought Lao Chan to Chang'an City so that he can respect me and provide for me in my old age. , but it was hard to leave the country, and after living there for a few months, I felt very uncomfortable, so I decided to return to my hometown!"

"Then why didn't your son arrange a carriage and horses to see him off?"

Li Xinni was a little confused. After all, according to what the old man said, his son was running a small business in Chang'an City and must have some money. Why didn't he arrange carriages and horses for his old father to ride?

"I was rejected by the old man!"

Speaking of his filial son, the old man showed a happy smile on his face, waved his hands and said:

"I am used to hardships in my hometown. Although riding a carriage and horse is fast, it is still uncomfortable. It is better to go all the way. This will also allow my young grandson to experience some travel experiences and sharpen his will!"

Hearing this, Li Xinni sighed: "My father-in-law teaches his children well and teaches his grandchildren well. I am afraid that this is why my son is able to do business and make money in Chang'an City!"

"Hey, what a blessing for children and grandchildren!"

The old man waved his hand in denial, but the smile on his face betrayed what he was thinking. Li Xinni couldn't help but smile when she saw the other party's reaction.

Afterwards, the old man naturally asked about Li Xinni. When he heard that Li Xinni was planning to travel around the world, he was immediately amazed and couldn't help but advise:

"Women are not as good as men in traveling around the world. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. When you travel to a foreign country, you may be bullied by foreigners. Please be careful, girl!"

"It doesn't matter, the little girl is also quite skilled in martial arts!"

As he said that, Li Xinni picked up the long sword beside him and motioned to the old man to take a look. Seeing this, the old man waved his hands quickly, saying that he didn't know how to do it. At the same time, he looked relieved, "This is considered safe!"

After chatting for a while, the rabbit meat on the campfire was finished roasting. The aroma of the meat suddenly hit his face, making the young child beside the old man swallow his saliva.

Seeing this, Li Xinni naturally smiled slightly, took a large leaf, and first cut off small pieces of rabbit meat for the young child, and then shared the food with the old man.

"Hey, there's no need for that!"

When the old man saw that Li Xinni wanted to share the meat with him, he quickly stopped him. After all, he had just said that it was for his young grandson, not for himself.

When Li Xinni saw that the other party was being polite, she immediately showed a displeased look, "Talking to my father-in-law also gave me a lot of insights. What's more, my husband is still worried about my schedule. How can I not be grateful and express my thanks? Isn't that right? Put me in an unkind and unjust way?"

After hearing what Li Xinni said, the old man finally stopped being polite, but still only took a small amount of rabbit meat. Seeing this, Li Xinni stopped persuading him and started having lunch separately.

After lunch, the old man remembered to ask Li Xinni, "If you're not a girl, where are you going?"

"Longxi."

Li Xinni replied.

When the old man heard this, he immediately looked stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face, "It's a coincidence that we can go on the same road, and we can take care of each other along the way."

In the old man's view, if Li Xinni, a girl, walks alone, she may encounter bad people. Accompanying Li Xinni by herself can also prevent bad people from having evil thoughts.

In addition, Li Xinni has the same destination as him, so when he arrives, he can also be a landlord.
