Ever since he knew about his relatives, Li Xiu felt like a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't spit it out, which caused him to feel nauseous and uncomfortable for a while, if he let this matter go, I was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life, so in the end Li Xiu decided to meet Li Shimin in person. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that before he went to see Li Shimin, Li Shimin came to the door by himself, to be exact, Li Shimin asked him to go out to play, because next to the princess's mansion is Qujiang Pond, every spring and summer, there are countless pleasure boats on the pool, and there are beautiful women on the boat playing the piano and singing, which attracts countless scholars on the shore to stop and watch, which is also a great scene in Chang'an City.

Li Shimin made an appointment with Li Xiu to meet on a cruise ship, and when he boarded the cruise ship in a small boat, he saw Li Shimin sitting in the cabin in civilian clothes, with a musician on the bow holding the pipa in his arms, playing and singing something in a low voice, and from time to time he also threw a wink at Li Shimin, it is estimated that she also saw that Li Shimin was extraordinary, and he was definitely not an ordinary person, so he frequently hinted, but unfortunately Li Shimin had seen too many beauties, and he had been sitting there drinking alone, and he had not looked at her directly.

"Brother-in-law, you're here, please take a seat!" When Li Shimin saw Li Xiu on the boat, he spoke very enthusiastically, and he was also called "brother-in-law", obviously because he didn't want people to know the identity of him and Li Xiu.

Li Xiu also immediately understood this, walked over with a smile at the moment, and then sat opposite Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, you have always been busy with affairs, why do you have time to invite me here today?" ”

"You did me such a big favor last time, and I have already made up my mind to thank you, and I will send it to your home soon." Li Shimin smiled again and said, the favor he said naturally refers to the matter of smallpox, and his thanks naturally refers to the reward for Li Xiu, he has already discussed it with Li Xiu last time.

Li Xiu didn't care much about rewards and the like, and he had already expressed his stance last time, and this was not the place to talk about it, so he just nodded after hearing it and didn't say anything. But at this time, I saw Li Shimin groan slightly, and after a while, he spoke again: "I heard...... Your uncle has returned? ”

Li Xiu knew that when Li Shimin came to see him, he would definitely talk about the bearded guest, and he had already prepared for this, so he nodded without hesitation at this time: "Yes, uncle, he has indeed returned." ”

Hearing Li Xiu's answer, Li Shimin also showed a tangled expression on his face, and after a while, he let out a long breath, and his expression became a little worried: "Then they ...... How are they? ”

"It's okay, although it's far from the homeland, but at least they got there safely, just a child died at sea, and now they have settled there, this time the uncle came back, and brought back a lot of gifts for them." Li Xiu also said indifferently at this time, although he understood Li Shimin about the matter of Xuanwumen, but emotionally speaking, he was still a little unacceptable, especially since even his favorite students were forced to leave the Americas, whenever he thought of this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Shimin also heard the dissatisfaction in Li Xiu's words, he could only smile bitterly, and then sat there silently, for the matter of Xuanwumen, he has always been very conflicted in his heart, after all, people are not grass and trees, how can they have no feelings, and for him, killing his own brother with his own hands, and forcing his brother and nephews to go away to the Americas, he actually has guilt in his heart, but guilt is guilt, if he is allowed to do it again, he will still launch a coup d'état without hesitation.

Seeing the expression on Li Shimin's face, Li Xiu didn't know what to say, and there was silence for a while, but at this time, he suddenly thought of Li Yuanji's letter to Li Yuan, if Li Shimin knew, I am afraid it would be difficult to send it to Li Yuan.

Li Xiu and Li Shimin were relatively silent for a while, only the ethereal singing of the kabuki echoed around the boat, and after a long time, I saw Li Shimin raise his head and say slowly: "Forget it, since they have arrived there safely, we are thousands of miles away, as long as they don't come back, then we have nothing to do with it!" ”

Li Xiu's words seemed to be said to others and to himself, Li Xiu felt that both were possible, and at the same time, Li Shimin may also want to warn Li Chengdao through him that they must not return to the Central Plains in the future, otherwise Li Shimin will definitely not let them go.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, although Li Shimin's credit was not very reliable, but with his understanding of Li Shimin, what he said now should be in his heart, in other words, he should not find a way to deal with Li Chengdao and Li Yuanji thousands of miles away.

"By the way, I also have some friendship with your uncle, but unfortunately it is inconvenient to see him now, so please help me tell him!" Li Shimin opened his mouth to Li Xiu again at this time, although he and the bearded guest had only met a few times, but he already had a sense of sympathy, if it wasn't for Li Chengdao's business, I am afraid he really wanted to see the bearded guest again.

"Second brother, don't worry, Uncle is very happy to know that you have publicized his deeds everywhere, and he also brought you some gifts this time, I will bring you if I have the opportunity in the future!" Li Xiu also smiled when he heard this.

Li Shimin previously publicized the fact that the bearded guest brought high-yield crops from the Americas, although it was to let Li Jing hand over the art of war, but it did make the bearded guest famous all over the world, and now everyone is singing about the merits of the bearded guest, and the bearded guest has already known about it on the way to Chang'an, and there are many people in many places who have set up shrines for him, which also makes him feel particularly good after coming back this time, except for the fact that he was imprisoned in Chang'an City and couldn't get out.

Hearing Li Xiu mention that he was famous for being a bearded guest, Li Shimin also smiled and didn't say anything, but at this time Li Xiu hesitated and said, "Second brother, there is something I want to talk to you about alone, why don't we get off the boat and go outside?" ”

Li Xiu wanted to talk to Li Shimin about harmony, but there were Kabuki and boatmen on this cruise ship, and Li Shimin didn't want to reveal his identity, so they also had a lot of scruples when they talked, so Li Xiu proposed to get off the boat.

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Xiu to have something to talk to him, but he still agreed very happily, and then the two let the cruise ship dock, and then got off the boat under the resentful gaze of Kabuki, and waited until the two came to a secluded place, Li Shimin asked: "Li Xiu, what do you have to avoid people to discuss?" ”
