Chapter 742: Parting
"Chengdao, are you really leaving?" On the dock of a stronghold on the east side of Liuqiu Island, Qi Niang asked Li Chengdao in front of her very reluctantly, and her big eyes were full of tears. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I've been in Datang for too long, and the purpose of coming back this time has been achieved, especially to see you, it can be said that I have no regrets, and now it's time to go back." Li Chengdao replied with a solemn face at this time, but when he said these words, he looked at Qi Niang with great reluctance.
"But...... But if you leave and I go to see my eldest brother alone, I am afraid that my eldest brother will scold me, and then I will not even have anyone to help me speak. Qi Niang said again pitifully at this time. A few days ago, she and Li Chengdao wanted to be alone for a few days in order to avoid Li Xiu, and on the other hand, they also wanted to be alone for a few days, so they went to Quanzhou and played for several days before coming back, but Li Chengdao did not go to the stronghold where Li Xiu and Zhang Shiyi were, but came to another stronghold, and his fleet was also gathered here, and he was leaving today.
"If Mr. sees me going back with you, I'm afraid he will be more stimulated, and he will definitely scold you even more, so I still won't go back, but I have already arranged the ship, and there is also a letter to Mr., if Mr. really scolds you, you will give him the letter, and he will definitely not scold you again!" Li Chengdao couldn't help but smile at this time, in fact, he was a little afraid to see Li Xiu, so he had already arranged the fleet here before.
Hearing Li Chengdao say this, Qi Niang couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, in fact, the reason why she wanted Li Chengdao to go back to see Li Xiu with her was mainly because she wanted to get along with Li Chengdao for a while, but she didn't expect Li Chengdao to refuse.
Seeing Qi Niang's disappointed expression, Li Chengdao couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, after a few days of getting along, his relationship with Qi Niang is also growing by leaps and bounds, of course, both of them are very polite people, and there is nothing to transgress, but each other's intentions have been understood, and even Li Chengdao secretly swore in his heart that he would not marry Qi Niang in this life.
"Qi Niang, although I have to go back this time, but don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you again in the future, and then ...... When the time comes......" When Li Chengdao said the end, his face turned red, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say for a while. It's also strange to say, he was originally a very generous and bold person, but when facing Qi Niang, he became a little timid and shy, and sometimes he was not as open as Qi Niang.
"What?" Qi Niang naturally guessed the meaning of Li Chengdao's words when she heard this, and her eyes lit up at the moment, but then she deliberately made trouble.
"I'll ...... I ......" Li Chengdao said to me for a long time, his face was about to drip, but he still couldn't say the sentence in his heart, and finally he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and the clothes on his body were almost wet with sweat.
Seeing Li Chengdao's nervous appearance, Qi Niang couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then reached out to cover his mouth and said, "Okay, don't say it if you can't say it, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will wait for you to come back!" ”
Although Qi Niang is a generous and cheerful woman, when she said the last sentence, she couldn't help but blush, and her voice was much quieter. However, Li Chengdao was stunned at first when he heard her words, and then showed an ecstatic expression, and even hugged Qi Niang excitedly, and then turned around on the dock a few times, causing Qi Niang to scream, and then whispered to him to let himself down, after all, there were not only the two of them on the dock.
However, the people on this dock were either Li Chengdao's people or Zhang Shiyi's people, and they all consciously twisted their heads to the side at this time and pretended not to see it. Although it is very common for men and women in love to hug each other in later generations, in this period of the Tang Dynasty, the defense of men and women is still the mainstream, such as the few days when Qi Niang and Li Chengdao get along, at most it is just a hand.
Li Chengdao was also too excited, and after holding Qi Niang for a few turns, he was also a little embarrassed to let her down, and then Qi Niang beat him a few times in annoyance, but it was more like a fight between lovers.
It's not early, although Qi Niang and Li Chengdao are reluctant, but the time for separation has come, which makes Qi Niang's mood lower again, but she is an open-minded woman after all, and she quickly recovered from her sadness, and then saw her take a burden from behind, and then sent it to Li Chengdao and said: "Chengdao, this is a dress I have made in the past few days, but my female celebrity is too bad, and it is a little ugly, don't dislike it!" ”
When Qi Niang said the end, she couldn't help blushing a little, female red is indeed not her strong point, and the time is a little rushed, so even she feels ugly in the clothes she makes, but Li Chengdao is leaving today, so she doesn't have time to make another one, so she can only send it out.
Li Chengdao was very happy to take it, and opened the burden in front of Qi Niang, then took off his coat, and directly changed the clothes made by Qi Niang, although the material used in this dress is very exquisite, but the workmanship is really not flattering, even the hem of the clothes is not the same, but Li Chengdao seems to have not found the shortcomings of the clothes at all, but he is very excited to show it in front of Qi Niang, and then said with a smile: "Qi Niang, what do you think?" ”
"It's too ugly, let's take it off!" Qi Niang said again with a red face at this time, although she had long known that the clothes she made were ugly, but after wearing it on Li Chengdao's body, she found that this dress was no longer ugly, and she couldn't even wear it out at all, otherwise it would only make people laugh.
"I'll take it off when I'm on the boat, so that my clothes don't get dirty, and then I'll wear them when I return to America, and when I come back, I'll definitely wear this dress to pick you up!" Li Chengdao made a very solemn promise at this time, he didn't care if the clothes were ugly or not, what he cared about was Qi Niang's heart for himself, it is estimated that this is also the first time Qi Niang made clothes for others to wear, when he thought of these, he also had a feeling of happiness in his heart.
Hearing Li Chengdao's words, Qi Niang's face turned even redder, but the time was indeed not early, and the people in the fleet were also waiting for Li Chengdao, so she had to personally send Li Chengdao on the boat, and then she also got on another boat, which would send her directly to Li Xiu, and when she got out of the port, she watched Li Chengdao's fleet drift away, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Li Chengdao also stood at the end of the road, silently watching Qi Niang who was far away and kept waving his hand, until the other party's boat disappeared into the sea level, he let out a long sigh, and his face also showed a lonely expression, saying goodbye today, I'm afraid it will be a few years later.
"Chengdao, is that woman just now Yan Guogong's sister?" At this moment, I suddenly saw a middle-aged man walking to Li Chengdao's side, and I saw that he was of medium height, with a square face, a little thin, and a short beard under his chin, looking very shrewd and capable.
"Yes, she is Qi Niang, I have known Qi Niang since childhood, and the relationship has always been very deep." Seeing the middle-aged man beside him, Li Chengdao also hurriedly saluted, this middle-aged man is Wei Ting, the main purpose of Li Chengdao's return this time is to see Wei Ting and Wang Jue, and before Li Xiu went to Liuqiu Island, Li Chengdao had already seen Wei Ting and the two of them.
Speaking of which, Wei Ting and Wang Qi are both Li Jiancheng's diehards, among which Wei Ting is Li Jiancheng's youngest, he and Li Jiancheng were born in the same year, but the birth month is younger than Li Jiancheng, so Li Chengdao usually calls him an uncle.
Wei Ting and Wang Qi resigned from their official positions before, plus a deceased Du Yan, the three of them held a large force in the south, and after they came into contact with Li Chengdao, they also decided to move to the Americas with their families, the population of the three of them was hundreds, plus the troops who were loyal to them, and some craftsmen and others they bought, and finally the population of the migration reached thousands of people, and now they have all boarded Li Chengdao's fleet, ready to go to the Americas to start a new life.
In fact, Wei Ting and Wang Jue didn't think so before, they wanted to lurk along the coast of Datang to prepare for Li Chengdao's counterattack on Datang in the future, but when they saw that Li Shimin's throne was becoming more and more stable, they were also desperate, and after Li Chengdao came back, he also showed that he didn't want to conflict with Li Shimin because of the throne, so after thinking twice, they decided to follow Li Chengdao to the Americas, after all, they couldn't do anything if they stayed in Datang, it was better to go to the Americas with Li Chengdao.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you and her to be childhood sweethearts." Wei Ting smiled again at this time, but when he said this, he suddenly became a little serious and said, "Chengdao, since you have decided to develop in the Americas, it is really not a wise thing to maintain a relationship with a woman like Qi Niang, and I don't think Yan Guogong will agree to let his own sister marry to the Americas, right?" ”
Hearing Wei Ting's words, Li Chengdao couldn't help but look gloomy, but then he cheered up again and said: "Thank you Uncle Wei for reminding me, in fact, I also know that it is very unwise for me to do this, and I may even affect Mr. and Qi Niang, but I have promised Qi Niang before, so I will not lose her in this life!" ”
Li Chengdao's attitude was so resolute, Wei Ting couldn't help sighing, and then said helplessly: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, then I won't say anything, but you still have to be cautious!" ”
Hearing Wei Ting's persuasion, Li Chengdao also thanked him again, and then looked at the direction where Qi Niang left, the two strongholds are not far away, calculate the time, maybe Qi Niang is about to see Mr.
