Chapter 1377: Traveling Everywhere

Time passed day by day, Li Xiu and his relatives around him are also getting older day by day, and the pace of death is getting closer and closer, the first to leave is Yi Niang, although she is two years younger than Li Xiu, but her health is not too good, especially when she is older, she is often sick, and she died in the second year of Li Xiu's 70th birthday, and then Yuechan also left, and the successive blows also made Li Xiu seriously ill, fortunately, there was Princess Pingyang with him, which made him slowly get through.

But in the second year of the death of Yiniang and Yuechan, Princess Pingyang also couldn't afford to get sick, after all, she was a few years older than Li Xiu, although she was strong because of her perennial martial arts, but she couldn't stop the invasion of the years, and finally she closed her eyes forever in Li Xiu's arms, even if Li Xiu was a human being in two lives, thinking that she had seen through life and death, but she couldn't help crying.

However, Princess Pingyang has just passed away, but there are two bad news from the Americas, one is that Li Yuanji died, and he is still in front of his sister, and the other is Qi Niang is seriously ill, although after diagnosis and treatment temporarily improved, but Qi Niang's physical condition is not optimistic, according to Li Chengdao's letter, Qi Niang's limit is probably coming.

He had just experienced the pain of losing his wife, and now he heard that his most beloved sister was also leaving, which made Li Xiu also grief-stricken, but after experiencing the initial grief, he suddenly made a decision, that is, to visit Qi Niang in the Americas in person!

However, Li Xiu's decision to go to the Americas was opposed by everyone, after all, he is now over seventy years old, and his health is not very good, with his current physical condition, even if someone takes care of him, he will have to take a lot of risks if he wants to cross the Pacific Ocean, not to mention the bad conditions at sea, a big storm may wipe out the entire fleet, so they don't want Li Xiu to take risks.

But Li Xiu has made up his mind this time, no matter who persuades him, it is useless, and in the end, even Li Zhi and Li An joined forces to persuade him, but they couldn't dispel his thoughts, which made the two of them very helpless, and finally they could only agree to him, and Li Xiu also asked people to contact Li Jin and ask him to send the best fleet to pick him up to the Americas.

A few months later, Li Xiu worshiped his three wives, and then rushed to the beach without hesitation to board the ship and go to sea, Li An wanted to take care of it, but Li Xiu refused, but in order to reassure the children, Li Xiu still brought a grandson, that is, Li Jin's eldest son Li Yuan took care of himself, Li Yuan has been following Li Jin in adulthood, and he has rich sailing experience, and this time the fleet is led by him.

Li Xiu's age, although he also encountered many problems after going to sea, and even fell ill at sea once, but this did not stop his determination to go to the Americas, and after sailing for a few months, the fleet led by Li Yuan finally crossed the Pacific Ocean to reach the Americas, and when Li Chengdao learned the news of Li Xiu's arrival, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly rushed to meet him in person, and Qi Niang, who was seriously ill, was also happy when she saw Li Xiu, and even her condition seemed to have been reduced a lot.

However, Qi Niang's physical condition has reached the time when the oil is exhausted, no matter how happy she is to see Li Xiu, it can only make her spirit better, but in the following period of time, Qi Niang's condition deteriorated rapidly, and finally died a month after Li Xiu's arrival, which made Li Xiu taste grief again, and at this time, he finally couldn't hold on anymore, after Qi Niang's funeral, the whole person was also sick.

Li Chengdao has always regarded Li Xiu as a brother and father, although the death of Qi Niang also made him very sad, but he still supported his body to take care of the seriously ill Li Xiu, and under his careful care, Li Xiu's condition also began to improve, but his physical condition was still not very good, and Li Chengdao also put down the things in his hand and accompanied Li Xiu to go outside for a turn, mainly to let him relax, and also wanted Li Xiu to see the achievements of himself and Qi Niang over the years.

The area ruled by Li Chengdao was mainly in Central America, and began to expand to North America, and under his and Qi Niang's governance, millions of Han people mainly lived in large cities around the country, and there were also a large number of Mayans, who also followed the Han people to learn Chinese and wear Hanfu, especially when Li Chengdao preached everywhere that the natives of the Americas were the original Yin people, which attracted many natives to join.

Looking at the vibrant scene in the Americas, Li Xiu's heavy mood seemed to be better, originally Li Chengdao wanted him to retire in the Americas, but Li Xiu didn't want to die in the Americas, because he wanted to go back and be buried with Princess Pingyang, so his body was just better, and immediately let Li Yuan prepare to set sail, Li Chengdao persuaded him to no avail, and finally had to send him away in person.

However, Li Xiu's fleet did not go back to Datang directly, but went south along the coastline of the Americas, first went to Li Ke, compared to others, Li Ke's foundation is the shallower, and it is also the latest one to come out of Datang, but he got the help of Li Chengdao, and now he has migrated to South America, and the northwest, that is, the Peru area of later generations, but his number of men is small, and now only two major cities have been built, and the rest still need to be developed slowly.

Li Xiu left the Americas after a few days of entrenchment with Li Ke, this time along the South Pacific Warm Current all the way to the west, and turned to Li Jin when he arrived in Xinzhou, Li Jin and Wu Mingkong had already started to operate Xinzhou many years ago, so the situation here is much stronger than Li Ke's, there are seven or eight big cities alone, and the population is also very large, and Xinzhou is suitable for grazing, so there are pastures everywhere.

In addition, Li Jin and Wu Mingkong are ambitious, a new continent did not satisfy them, but also planned to go to South America in the future, after all, the territory over there is so big, Li Ke alone can't eat it at all, of course, this is not achieved in a short time, but if they really go to South America in the future, then Li Ke will have an opponent.

Li Jin and his wife also just came back from the Tang Dynasty, because the princess of Pingyang died before, Li Jin and his wife also went to the funeral, until Li Xiu left, they left to return to Xinzhou, this time seeing Li Xiu arrive, Li Jin and his wife also tried their best to stay, especially Li Jin also wanted his father to stay anyway, so that he could do some filial piety, after all, he rarely went home overseas before, and usually the eldest brother Li An took care of his parents.

However, although Li Xiu lived here in Xinzhou for a period of time and saw the beautiful scenery and food here in Xinzhou, he still refused to stay here, so a few months later, he said goodbye to Li Jin and his wife and a group of grandchildren, and went to Nanyang by boat again, because he still wanted to go to Li Chengqian's place.

However, this time Li Xiu failed to make the trip, because when his fleet was about to reach Nanyang, Li Xiu suddenly fell ill, and he was very sick, and the doctors in the fleet were helpless, and Li Xiu also felt that his limit was approaching at this time, so in the end he could only give up the plan to go to Li Chengqian, and then ordered the fleet to turn to the Tang Dynasty!
