The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 230 I’m Li Bai, my courtesy name is Taibai!

In a village outside the city in Longxi, a woman settled here a few years ago. Because of her gentle personality and kindness, she was quite popular among the villagers.

Not to mention that the woman has been helping others for a long time and has a beautiful appearance. The woman's name spread instantly.

Everyone only knew the woman's surname was Li, and no other information was known.

But the woman had a road guide, and the government confirmed that the woman was not a bad person. As a result, there were more and more rumors about the woman. The most accepted one was that the woman came from Chang'an City. Due to family changes, she stayed away from Chang'an City and returned to her hometown to live here.

And because the woman surnamed Li has martial arts skills, many children from the village came to visit her under the guidance of their parents, hoping to learn martial arts from the woman surnamed Li.

So the woman surnamed Li also took in some village children and taught them some sword skills.

As time went by, the story of the woman named Li spread further and further, and became known to more people. The fact that the woman surnamed Li looks like a fairy became known to more people, attracting matchmakers to visit her.

But not surprisingly, they were all rejected by the woman named Li.

As a result, rumors about the woman surnamed Li gradually began to spread, and their words often attacked women's chastity.

However, there are also many women who can tell at a glance that the woman named Li is still a virgin, which makes the secret rumors self-defeating.

"what!"

"drink!"

"what!"

"..."

In Li Xinni's small courtyard, there were five or six children of different ages standing. They were holding wooden swords and practicing sword skills under Li Xinni's guidance.

The hot sunshine is still shining on the big trees in the courtyard, casting a large amount of shade in the courtyard, which also allows the children practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard to get some coolness.

Li Xinni is wearing a light cyan dress, no makeup on her face, and her long black hair is slightly pulled up by a simple wooden hairpin. She also has an alternative, fresh and elegant temperament.

At this time, she was holding a long sword in her hand, looking at the children in the courtyard, and from time to time she pointed out the children's sword-practicing postures.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared outside the open courtyard door. The middle-aged man came in a hurry with a solemn face. When he saw the scene in the courtyard, he quickly stopped and stood respectfully. Far away.

When Li Xinni saw the movement outside the door, she immediately turned to the children in the courtyard and said, "That's it for today's practice. The weather has been hot recently, so be careful to prevent heatstroke when you go back."

"understood."

All the children said in unison: "Thank you sir!"

Followed by a slight salute, and then they came out one after another.

After seeing all the children in the courtyard leaving, the middle-aged man outside the door walked into the courtyard and said, "I've seen Princess Yong'an!"

"Is there a problem?"

Li Xinni stretched out her hand slightly and motioned the middle-aged man to sit at the stone table opposite her, speaking in a relaxed tone.

"Recently, I have heard many rumors in the city that are unfavorable to the princess. Do you need me to take action to clear up the rumors?"

The middle-aged man asked respectfully.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Xinni couldn't help but said: "It doesn't have to be like this. Ordinary people will inevitably be harassed by rumors in their lives. Only in this way can we live more like an ordinary person. It won't take long for the rumors to spread." Rumors will disappear on their own!"

"If you deliberately purge it, you will inevitably fall into the trap of those who spread rumors!"

"This……"

The middle-aged man didn't know what to do.

Seeing that the middle-aged man's kindness was rejected by herself, Li Xinni didn't say much and just asked: "How long have I lived here?"

"It's been five years since I returned to Princess..."

"It's been five years..."

Hearing the middle-aged man's answer, Li Xinni herself was a little stunned. She never thought that five years had passed, and in her feeling, it was only a moment.

"It is now the sixth year of Kaiyuan."

Kaiyuan six years...

During these six years, Li Xinni lived like an ordinary woman. As for her living expenses during these five years, it was naturally the money she earned from teaching swordsmanship to her students.

Although it wasn't much, it was enough for herself and a horse.

Hearing Li Xinni's question, the middle-aged man thought of something and couldn't help asking quickly: "Is the princess planning to leave?"

"That's right, I'm leaving!"

Li Xinni nodded and said.

"I have been here for five years, and it's time to leave. After all, I want to travel around the world. If I stay in one place for too long, it will become boring."

When the middle-aged man on the side heard Li Xinni's words, he naturally had nothing to say and could only ask: "When does the princess plan to leave?"

"Waiting for a few days, right?"

……

In the next few days, Li Xinni was like an ordinary person, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Of course, her first job is to teach children swordsmanship. When she walks out of the courtyard and comes to the village, everyone who meets her will take the initiative to say hello.

In the past five years, Li Xinni has completely integrated into the village, and people have become familiar with Li Xinni. Although Li Xinni's origin is a bit mysterious to them, as long as there is no ulterior purpose, that's fine.

Bai Zhi also accompanied Li Xinni for five years. During these five ordinary years, Bai Zhi often returned to Chang'an City. After all, for him, the rare medicinal materials he consumed could only be provided by the palace.

At the same time, he also paid attention to the current emperor Li Longji.

During these five years, Li Longji, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, worked conscientiously and kept in mind the instructions he gave when he left Chang'an City, and never dared to forget them.

In 720 AD, Li Xinni set out again.

However, she did not continue to go west, but went south, towards Shu.

On the day of departure, a middle-aged man was seeing off Princess Yong'an outside the city. Seeing Princess Yong'an alone with a white horse, the middle-aged man couldn't help but say:

"If you want to go to Shu, princess, please be careful along the way! Unlike the Central Plains, Shu is flat all the way, but Shu has many mountains and countless chasms and chasms. There are countless capable people and strangers who cannot go to Shu, or maybe yes……"

At this point, the middle-aged man's voice suddenly stopped and he couldn't help but say:

"I made a mistake..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Xinni shook his head. He didn't remember the middle-aged man's wrong words in his heart, nor would he get angry because of other people's words.

"Of course I know the difficulties in Shu. I will be careful along the way!"

Seeing Li Xinni about to leave, the middle-aged man quickly asked:

"I wonder when Princess Yong'an will return? Your Majesty in Chang'an City already knows that Princess Yong'an is in Longxi. This question is also your Majesty's question."

"I don't know..."

Li Xinni shook his head.

Who can know when he will be able to return to Chang'an City? Just like when I came to Longxi this time, I originally planned to stay only for a few months, but I didn't expect it to last several years.

In the autumn wind, the fallen leaves are rustling, and the earth is desolate.

Princess Yong'an's dark red dress is like the last brilliance of this world in the autumn colors. The white horse beside her follows quietly. Where will her footprints spread?

……

Shu land.

Among the mountains, a gurgling stream flows through the mountains and dense woods, nourishing countless fertile soils.

It is said to be a stream, but it is also set against the backdrop of mountains. In the eyes of people on the earth, it is just a big river.

This large river cuts off the north and south, making it impossible for people from both sides to pass. Only one ferry can carry passengers. "Boatman, please come to the shore, I want to cross the river!"

At this moment, a young man suddenly appeared on the shore. The young man was dressed in plain clothes and wearing a turban on his head. He was majestic and had an extraordinary appearance.

At this time, he looked at the ferry on the other side of the river and shouted politely.

The rower was an old man. Hearing the young man's voice, he slowly rowed over.

"Guawazi, where are you going?"

When the young man boarded the boat, the old man rowing the boat couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing the boatman's question, the young man also said: "Leave Shu and then go to Chang'an City!"

"Hey! Let's go to Chang'an City!"

When the old man rowing the boat heard the young man's words, he said in amazement:

"This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty! Are you a candidate for the imperial examination?"

"Not really!"

Hearing the words of the old rower, the young man shook his head slightly, "My ambition is no longer in the imperial examination books, but in this big river!"

"What do you mean by this?"

The old man rowing the boat had a puzzled expression on his face.

"I have poems and books in my belly, and I have the ability to govern the country. It would be great if the wealthy people in Chang'an City can recognize my talents!"

"What if you can't recognize it?"

The old man rowing the boat couldn't help but ask.

Young man: "..."

"Boatman, please wait a moment and pull me..."

While the old man rowing the boat was talking to the young man, a voice came from the shore again. The two looked and saw another person on the shore who was about to cross the river.

At this time, the ship had just left the shore, and it would not be troublesome to return again. The young man who had already boarded the boat said nothing.

So the old man rowing the boat stopped talking and shouted towards the shore: "Please wait a moment!"

As it slowly approached, the young man on the boat finally saw the person on the shore clearly.

"It turned out to be a woman..."

In the eyes of the young man, the woman was wearing a dark red dress, with a beautiful appearance, and was holding a white horse beside her. What attracted the young man was that the beautiful woman had a sense of indifference about her temperament.

Just as he was staring at the beautiful woman on the shore, the beautiful woman also looked at him. Suddenly, the young man noticed his rudeness, so he quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Girl, my ferry is a bit small. I wonder if the horse is honest..."

The old man rowing the boat saw the white horse beside the beautiful woman, and his face showed embarrassment.

When the young woman heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, elder, my white horse is honest and obedient, and there will be no accidents."

"That's good...that's good!"

After a moment of hesitation, the old man rowing the boat agreed.

But he watched how the beautiful woman let the white horse board the ship.

"Step into the snow and get on the boat!"

But he saw Li Xinni whispering to Ta Xue beside him, and Ta Xue snorted, slowly moved his horse's hooves, and then boarded the ship.

This scene amazed the old men and young men on the boat. The white horse in front of them was so smart that they had never seen before.

After Li Xinni also boarded the boat, the old man rowing the boat said: "Everyone is seated firmly..."

As he spoke, the boat slowly slid towards the other side of the river.

Li Xinni was sitting on the bow of the boat, and Texue was right behind her. As Li Xinni reached out and dipped her delicate hands into some river water, and then washed her face, Texue behind her couldn't help but lower her head to drink the water from the river.

Li Xinni in front seemed to know Ta Xue's movements, and immediately turned around to look. Ta Xue's movements suddenly stagnated, and then slowly raised her head and snorted as if nothing had happened.

Li Xinni then turned around and washed her hands in the river.

After Li Xinni finished her work, the young man on the side suddenly came forward, and then bowed slightly, his tone full of apology, "Girl, you are polite, I was rude just now."

Li Xinni thought of the way the man was staring at her just now, and just smiled slightly and said softly: "It doesn't matter."

After hearing that Li Xinni had forgiven him, the young man continued: "I see that the girl is so busy, where is the girl planning to go?"

"Just traveling around!"

Li Xinni shook his head.

Seeing the beautiful smile on Li Xinni's face, the young man was slightly distracted. In fact, what really makes the young man lose his mind is not necessarily the appearance of the woman in front of him, but the ethereal temperament of the woman in front of him.

"I am Li Bai, courtesy name Taibai. I am leaving Shu this time and want to go to Chang'an!"

"Very good!"

Hearing Li Bai's words, Li Xinni nodded slightly.

When Li Bai saw the dull reaction of the woman in front of him, he became even more curious about the woman in front of him.

"Dare you ask the girl her name?"

"name……"

Li Xinni hesitated and said, "Li Xinyu."

Li Xinni gave a false name. After all, her real name was already known to the world. Almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew that Princess Yongan of the Tang Dynasty was named Li Xinni.

Of course, if you say your real name, although it won't make others think that you are the legendary Princess Yong'an, it will still make them think of that.

So to avoid future trouble, Li Xinni gave herself a false name.

"Li Xinyu..."

The young man heard this and couldn't help asking: "Is there no word?"

"The word... Yong'an!"

Li Xinni thought of her own words, so she said the word Yong'an. Although Yong'an is his own title, he is also his own word.

"Yong'an?"

Obviously, Li Bai did not think about Princess Yongan.

"Eternal and everlasting, the world is at peace!"

"Good word!"

Li Bai praised.

"I just heard the girl talking about traveling around the world. I wonder where she wants to go now and where she came from?"

"Come from Longxi and go to Shu."

"Girl, have you just come to Shu?"

When Li Bai heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "I am from Shu. It's a coincidence that my ancestral home is also in Longxi, but I grew up in Shu..."

"Girl, when you first come to Sichuan, there are many unfamiliar places. Why don't you let me act as a guide to fulfill my friendship as a landowner?"

"Didn't the young master just say that he was leaving Shu for Chang'an City? If he acted as a guide for me, wouldn't he miss the young master's schedule?"

Li Xinni looked at Li Bai and saw that the young man named Li Bai in front of him had a pure face while talking to her. Li Xinni knew that he was sincerely willing to be her guide.
