Chapter 41 Difficult Decisions
After climbing for about two hours, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, looked into the distance, and found that the Tang camp was faintly more than 20 miles away from the southeast.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Xue took out the pine nuts and wild chestnuts picked up in the mountains and forests, the two ate some nut food, replenished their energy, and sat on the ground to rest for a while. They walked down the hill together, and the speed of descent was obviously faster, and after about an hour, the two of them reached the bottom of the mountain.
"Huh-" Li Shimin yelled happily. But I found that Xia Xue did not go out of the mountain forest, and was still hidden in the forest at the foot of the mountain. Not only was it strange, he turned around and walked into the mountains and forests, came to Xia Xue, and saw Xia Xue's solemn face and heavy heart. Hurriedly asked, "Eldest grandson girl, why don't you leave?" ”
Xia Xue was silent for a while, looked at Li Shimin's eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes full of affection, and asked softly, "Do you believe me?" ”
Li Shimin nodded firmly.
Xia Xue showed a hint of relief on her face, "I have a major decision, believe me for your good!" ”
"What decision?" Li Shimin had some bad premonitions and asked hurriedly.
"I decided to leave you for the time being, leave the Tang Army, and plan to go to Jiangnan!"
"What!" Li Shimin thundered, "Please tell me why you want to leave me temporarily and leave the Tang Army to go to Jiangnan?" Please let the girl know. Li Shimin was so excited that his whole body was trembling. He originally planned to report to his father after he went back this time, and let Xia Xue serve as a military staff officer under his account, so that he could always be with him in the future, and propose to Xia Xue at the right time, he is almost crazy about Xia Xue now, and I believe that Xia Xue also likes himself.
Xia Xue still looked at Li Shimin calmly and affectionately, "It's hard for me to explain it now, but you just need to know that all this is for your good, please trust me!" ”
Li Shimin calmed down, and the longer he spent with Xia Xue, the more he loved, admired and trusted her. His trust in Xia Xue is unconditional and without a trace of impurities. Looking at Xia Xue's beautiful and affectionate eyes, he felt a deep sense of concern, and he instinctively told himself that this beautiful and magical girl must have her own unique ideas to make this difficult decision, and it must be for her own good.
He was moved, "Eldest grandson girl, I believe in you!" But he was really reluctant, "I wonder when I will be able to see the girl again?" ”
"When the world is decided, believe me, it won't be too long!"
"The world is decided!" Li Shimin silently repeated these words, and felt a heavy sense of mission and responsibility in his heart, isn't this the dream he has been working hard for? A little weak woman actually has such a broad mind, and Li Shimin's admiration for Xia Xue has risen to a new level. "Okay, I will definitely do my best to quell the war as soon as possible, let the world be settled, and wait for the girl to come back!"
Xia Xue smiled with relief when she heard this, only this man can do it to save the people in the world, I must help him realize his long-cherished wish and protect him through the crisis.
"After His Royal Highness returned to the Tang army camp, don't say that he walked with me, just say that he escaped from the encirclement of the Sui army alone and returned to the Tang camp after hardships. I couldn't tell if I was asked, but there was chaos in the mountains and I ran away. ”
Although Li Shimin was puzzled, he still nodded.
"Then His Royal Highness quietly brought my brother Eldest Sun Wuji and Ouyang brother and sister, I have something to say to Brother Wuji, I will let him stay by your side to assist you. Brother and sister Ouyang, I will quietly take a piece to the south of the Yangtze River. ”
"Good! What else does the eldest grandchild need? ”
"Just bring three more horses, let the Ouyang brothers and sisters carry their personal weapons, some food, fresh water, and some coils. Looking for three more robes and cloaks, I need to cover myself. ”
"Okay, the eldest grandson girl is waiting for me, I'll handle it right away!" Although he was reluctant to break up, since his sweetheart had made such a decision, he had to give his full support and cooperation.
Li Shimin ran out of the mountains and forests alone and rushed towards the Tang army camp.
Two hours later, Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, and Ouyang brothers and sisters hurried back to the mountains and forests. Xia Xue hid in the mountain forest and saw that there was no one else around, so she walked out of the mountain forest to greet them
"Snow Girl!"
"Sister Snow!"
The eldest grandson Wuji and Ouyang brothers and sisters greeted Xia Xue from afar as soon as they saw it.
From the news brought by the eldest grandson Wuji, he knew that Tongguan had been captured, and the Yin World Division was defeated and committed suicide. It seems that Li Shimin's strategy to lure the enemy out of the city has succeeded. Prince Li Jiancheng's troops have entered Tongguan, because the eldest grandson Wuji is anxious to find Li Shimin and Xia Xue, worried that there will be no one when they return to the barracks, so 5,000 elite soldiers are left to continue to be stationed in the original place, and the rest of the men and horses have also entered Tongguan one after another.
