Chapter 112 Crossroads
Li Yuan left after drinking in the restaurant, and in his capacity, being able to come to the restaurant is already a double reward.

Li Hu, Su Su, and Erniang Sun were all very honored to see Li Yuan in person, so they personally sent him out of the door and watched Li Yuan ride away with the guards on horseback.

After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin and Li Zhiwan stayed behind to send each other off, waiting for Li Chongjiu and the others to leave the city.

Under the restaurant in Nao County, the guards who were about to go on the road crowded in the middle of the road, and it was bustling, while the bodyguards of the Li Family Bodyguard Bureau kept order.

Together with the garrison people, there were also major caravans from Taiyuan, Yanmen. They all took advantage of this trip to go to the grasslands to trade with the Xi clan in exchange for cattle and sheepskins.

After this Turkic attack, people were panicked, and the five tribes of the Xi clan had always regarded the Turkic people as their leaders and their vassal tribes.

Many people have heard that this time the Turkic Khan mobilized troops in Daihai to surround Fenyang Palace, and the five tribes of the Xi clan also sent troops to join the Turkic team. Sui tore his face.

Therefore, compared with the caravans that traded in Mobei in the past autumn, with [-] people and [-] to [-] mules and horses, the number of caravans that left Mobei this time was reduced by half.Most people are watching.

The merchants didn't know what kind of attitude the five departments of Xi would have towards the Sui Dynasty after the Turks turned their backs, but many merchants still insisted on the principle of doing business as usual, but it inevitably added a bit of worry to the road ahead.

Li Shimin is enthusiastically talking about the details of this trip with Su Su and Sun Erniang.

At the moment, the stewards of the major chambers of commerce are all flocking to Li Hu's side, making him the champion of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Li Chongjiu's status is different now, and Li Hu is also different. Countless people fawn on him. "Hey, Chief Escort Li, if you hadn't reminded us last time to let our caravan leave Yanmen County early, otherwise there would be a big loss. I really can't repay this kindness."

"It's like this. I have a jewel in the palm of my hand. I haven't left the cabinet yet. It happens to be about the same age as my nephew. See if it's...hehe."

"Your daughter, where is my daughter who is a lady? My Xiu'er is unparalleled in appearance. From all over the world, there is no one who doesn't say yes. Look, don't you..."

Li Zhiwan watched the scene, but her heart was a little bit funny, and also a little bit sour. She saw Li Chongjiu leading his horse and walking towards her, and she couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Sanniang, thank you and Brother Shimin for coming to see you off this time." Li Chongjiu said.

Li Zhiwan smiled sweetly, and said: "Why thank you, 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 the second brother, how could we have used iron cavalry to charge into battle and saved the emperor, if you hadn't assassinated Shibi Khan alone, how could we have repelled the Turks and saved Yanmen These tens of thousands of people, don't let them live on the grassland."

Li Chongjiu thought of the scene on the battlefield a few days ago, and he still sweats coldly when he thinks about it.

It was a desperate move at the time.

Before the 20 Turkic cavalry, the assassination of Sibi Khan, such a thing, if he were to do it again now, would he still regard death as home?
Li Zhiwan looked at the garrison civilians swarming from all sides, with a look of relief on her face, and said: "The tens of thousands of Yanmen people don't know that their survival is actually all thanks to Brother Li, but the real meritorious It is unknown, but it is impossible for Sanniang not to know, so on behalf of the tens of thousands of Yanmen people, I would like to thank Brother Li for saving his life."

Seeing Li Zhiwan looking at him with bright eyes, Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing, looking at the crowd of common people, the whole family, old and young, helping each other, even if they were cursing, they had a great time.

Compared with going far away on the grassland, being treated like a pig and dog slave, and finally dying of old age in a foreign land, it is much, much better.

Suddenly, Li Chongjiu finally found the answer to what he had done before.Just like before, he could save a little girl from the traffickers, all of this is meaningful.

Li Chongjiu nodded, looked at Li Zhiwan, but said with a bit of a joke: "Then you said you want to thank me, it's not empty talk."

Seeing Li Chongjiu's aggressive gaze, Li Zhiwan took a step back and said with a smile, "How do you want me to thank you?"

"You are so forgetful, remember that you and I agreed at the beginning, if you quit the Turks, you have to promise me one condition. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Li Zhiwan couldn't help but blushed. She, who was always heroic and valiant, suddenly showed a somewhat naive look, and she couldn't help but Li Chongjiu said with such eyes: "Brother Li, what conditions are you talking about?"

Speaking of this, Li Zhiwan couldn't help feeling a little hope in her heart, and also a little fear of the unknown.

Li Chongjiu glanced at Li Hu, and said with a smile: "Why don't you tell me about a marriage for me."

Li Zhiwan's heart sank, but she said with a calm face: "Brother Li is different now, presumably the women in the past should all look down on them."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

When Li Zhiwan heard what Li Chongjiu said, she was overjoyed from the bottom of her heart and said calmly, "Please forgive me, although brother Li is successful now, he comes from a poor family after all, and his foundation is too shallow."

"If you want to take a step forward in your official career in the future, you must have the support of the aristocratic family. And the aristocratic family will also borrow the momentum of Brother Li's rise. It is indeed a good choice for the two to marry." Li Chongjiu listened When Li Zhiwan said that, she was taken aback suddenly, what she said was indeed very reasonable.

Li Chongjiu looked at Li Zhiwan, and seeing the two of them making eye contact, she turned her eyes quickly.Li Chongjiu has also experienced so many relationships in his previous life, how could he not hear the overtones.

You must know that although Li Chongjiu is eighteen or nineteen years old now, he was already in his 30s in his previous life. It is impossible for a man in his 30s to be as emotional as a boy in his teens and 20s. He had a successful career in his previous life, but he was numb to the experience of separation and reunion, and in the end he has long been bearish.

But after time travelling, Li Zhiwan's beautiful image has lingered in his heart from time to time for several years. Even today, Li Chongjiu likes Li Zhiwan, and it is definitely not the kind of affection in the wine pool and flesh forest in his previous life.

And the crowd laughed loudly from time to time, and Li Hu, who was sought after by all sides, was also very happy with his red face.

Li Zhiwan had been looking forward to Li Chongjiu's response, but at this moment Li Chongjiu was lost in thought.Li Chongjiu thought that if he wanted to marry Li Zhiwan, Li Yuan would have to nod his head in agreement, that's for sure.If he really became Li Yuan's quick son-in-law, then he would undoubtedly become a pawn of the Li family.

The benefits, needless to say, according to the laws of history, the Li family will win the world in the end, and after winning the world, Li Shimin treats the heroes pretty well, much better than Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, much better.As a minister of the dragon, I don't have to work too hard, and I can eat and wait to die, which can protect the shadow of future generations for three generations, at least there was no problem before the Anshi Rebellion.The downside is that this is the way it is. It is estimated that Li Chongjiu can be ranked in Lingyan Pavilion, and then it will be almost enough to fight until here.A hundred years later, when I closed my eyes, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.

The cycle of chaos continues.

How should I go in the future?Li Chongjiu suddenly realized that he was standing at a crossroads.
