"Ke'er, since you have already found it, then I won't hide it from you, in fact, I sent Qi Niang this time just to let her marry Chengdao, and then Qi Niang will follow Chengdao to the Americas, and will never come back!" Just when Li Chengdao hesitated, he saw Li Xiu sigh and step forward to explain.

Li Ke even met Li Chengdao, so there is no need to hide the marriage between Qi Niang and Li Chengdao from him, and Li Xiu also hopes that Li Ke will not spread the news of Li Chengdao's return, so naturally there must be a convincing reason.

"Big brother and Sister Qi Niang are getting married?" Li Ke couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Li Xiu's words, he felt a little strange when he saw Qi Niang before, after all, Li Xiu came to the south because of the bank, but it was a little strange to bring Qi Niang, but he didn't expect it to be for marriage.

"Yes, I and Qi Niang childhood sweethearts, since childhood study and grow up, the relationship is also very deep, and then I went to the Americas, the two of us have always kept letters, now we are all grown up, Mr. also agreed to marry Qi Niang to me!" Li Chengdao also understood what Li Xiu meant, and he also said at the moment, but he didn't dare to say anything about the wedding, because he was afraid that Li Ke would also participate, and if he came, then Li Yuan and Pei Lian would not be able to participate.

"That's great, eldest brother, you and Sister Qi Niang are also lovers and eventually become married, and the younger brother is here to wish you a hundred years of good luck and an early birth to a noble son!" Li Ke said happily again at this time, he could see that Li Chengdao had put down the grievances between the two families, and now he was going to marry Qi Niang as his wife, which made Li Ke sincerely happy for him, even if he hadn't seen him for many years, he still felt that Li Chengdao was still the eldest brother who made him respect back then.

In the face of Li Ke's congratulations, Li Chengdao also smiled and thanked him, and by the way, he also asked Li Ke about his situation over the years, but Li Ke poured bitter water on him, especially his mother Concubine Yang forced him to marry a wife, which made him very distressed, and Li Chengdao could only comfort him as much as possible.

"Ke'er, the fact of Chengdao's arrival is not suitable for outsiders to know, as a prince, and you are the assassin of Yangzhou, I am afraid that there are many people staring at you, so you should not stay here for a long time!" When Li Chengdao and Li Ke were almost talking, Li Xiu reminded that Li Ke was different from himself, as the assassin of Yangzhou, he was in charge of local government affairs, and he was far more eye-catching than himself, a prince from Chang'an.

Li Ke also looked gloomy when he heard this, but he also knew that Li Xiu's words were true, so he didn't insist, and immediately said goodbye to Li Chengdao and left, and Li Chengdao personally sent him off the boat, and when Li Ke's back disappeared into the sea of people at the dock, Li Xiu and Li Chengdao were also relieved together, at least Li Ke didn't find Li Yuan in the cabin.

"Is Ke'er gone?" As soon as Li Xiu, Li Chengdao, and Qi Niang returned to the cabin, Li Yuan asked a little lonely, Li Ke is also his grandson, but unfortunately he didn't dare to see each other just now just now through a hatch, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"The third brother has left, and he has said a lot to me, among which the most distressing thing for him is that his mother forced him to marry a wife, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the third brother has also reached the age of marrying a wife and having children." Li Chengdao also saw that Li Yuan was in a bad mood, so he immediately picked something that made Li Yuan happy and said, although this incident made Li Ke very distressed, but it was a good thing for Li Yuan.

"Haha~, Ke'er is a few years younger than you, and now Ke'er is going to get married, and you, the elder brother, are just about to get married, don't wait until the future to let Ke'er give birth to a great-grandson before you!" Sure enough, when Li Yuan heard that Li Ke was also going to get married, he also turned his sadness into joy and said loudly.

Li Ke and Qi Niang are going to hold a wedding, this is not a trivial matter, although this wedding will definitely not be too grand, but Li Xiu and Li Yuan attach great importance to it, plus Qiu Ke and Pei Lian, the four of them discussed the process of the wedding, and made a list of things that need to be purchased.

Originally, Li Chengdao was going to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, but today even Li Ke broke in, so it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, so he agreed with Li Xiu that he and Li Yuan and others would leave Yangzhou first to go to Liuqiu Island, and Li Xiu and Qi Niang would arrive later, and by the way, they could also say goodbye to Li Ke, after all, Li Chengdao They could say goodbye without saying goodbye, but Li Xiu and Qi Niang couldn't, and if they went with Li Chengdao and others, it would be easy to attract the attention of others.

Agreed on the time to meet on Liuqiu Island, Li Xiu also took Qi Niang to say goodbye, although Li Chengdao and Qi Niang were very reluctant, but according to the rules of marriage, they were actually not suitable to meet before getting married, so in the end, the two could only say goodbye.

When Li Xiu and Qi Niang returned to Wu Wangfu, they were naturally pulled by Li Ke to ask about many things, including Li Chengdao's life in the Americas, speaking of which everything about Li Jiancheng is a taboo in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is a prince like Li Ke, he usually has no access to information related to Li Jiancheng, not to mention that Li Chengdao is far away in the Americas, and the news is inconvenient to transmit, so he knows almost nothing about Li Chengdao's situation in the Americas.

Li Xiu didn't hide it from Li Ke, and then talked about how Li Chengdao defeated the local natives and established a country of his own after they went to the Americas, and he also kept the album that Li Chengdao gave him last time, and this time he took it out to Li Ke to give a lesson, not only about Li Chengdao's history of struggle in the Americas, but also popularized the basic situation in the Americas to Li Ke.

"Sir, I only knew that the Americas were rich in specialties, such as gold and silver, as well as the sweet potatoes and corn and other crops we ate, all of which were brought from the Americas by Mr. Zhang's family, but I didn't expect that there were so many natives in the Americas." After listening to Li Xiu's narration of the American continent, Li Ke also showed a yearning look at the moment, although he knew that the conditions in the Americas were very difficult, but he also had an incomparable curiosity about the mysterious and distant continent.

"There are not only natives over there, but also have developed to the city-states, these city-states are actually some small countries, and even some relatively powerful countries have appeared, but the natives of the Americas do not know how to use metal weapons, and they don't even have wheels, let alone cars, which also greatly restricts their development, and Chengdao and Uncle They went to the Americas, and there is basically no threat when they encounter such natives." Li Xiu smiled again at this time.

"Then sir, do you know if it's the American University or our Datang is bigger?" Li Ke suddenly thought of another question at this time, and asked more interested at the moment.

Originally, these geographical knowledge was the basis for Li Xiu to teach his students, if Li Ke had taken classes with Li Xiu since he was a child, I am afraid he would have known it before he was ten years old, but he was different from other students, he only worshipped Li Xiu as a teacher a few years ago, and he rarely studied with Li Xiu, and he stayed in Yangzhou for a long time in the past two years, and he could only keep in touch with Li Xiu with letters, so Li Ke's foundation can be said to be the worst among all Li Xiu's students.

"America is composed of two huge continents, only connected by a narrow land in the middle, so it can be divided into North and South America, and whether it is South America or North America, they are larger than our Datang territory, but the continent where our Datang is located is the most extensive continent in the world!" Li Xiu explained with a smile.

The current territory of the Tang Dynasty is not even comparable to that of later generations, mainly because Tibet has not yet been annexed, and the scope of control in the Western Regions is also limited, so it is naturally not as good as China, which annexed Tibet and Xinjiang in later generations, and cannot be compared with the American continent.

"America is so vast!" Li Ke couldn't help but show an expression of amazement when he heard this, and then he asked again, "Sir, in addition to the continent under our feet and the American continent, are there other continents in this world?" ”

"Yes, there are a total of seven continents in this world, and there are countless islands, in addition to the continent under our feet, there are also South America, North America, Oceania, Europe, Antarctica and Africa, except for Antarctica, which is too cold and uninhabited, there are many people living on other continents!" Li Xiu explained again.

"There are so many landmasses, is the closest thing to us being the Americas?" Li Ke asked again.

"It's not, the nearest continent to us ......" Li Xiu paused here, and then continued, "The nearest continent should be Oceania, you should know the South Sea, Oceania is not far from the South Sea, if we follow the archipelago of the South Ocean to the southeast, we should be able to reach Oceania, the animals there are very interesting, many animals are born with a pocket, you can carry the cubs in your pocket." ”

"It's so interesting to be born with a pocket, sir, tell me about other interesting things in this world!" At this time, Li Ke was also completely stimulated by Li Xiu's interest in various continents, and he also urged Li Xiu to speak quickly.

It is rare to have a chance to give Li Ke a separate lesson, and Li Xiu is about to leave Yangzhou, so he also patiently picked out some interesting things on various continents, such as the pyramids in Africa, the ice caps and penguins on Antarctica, the grievances between the barbarians in Europe and the Roman Empire, etc., Li Ke also listened with relish, and from time to time he would put forward his own opinions and questions.

Li Xiu and Li Ke talked until midnight, which ended the geography and history class, and the next morning, Li Xiu wanted to say goodbye to Li Ke and leave, but Li Ke wanted to keep Li Xiu for a day anyway, because he wanted to take advantage of today to choose some gifts for Li Chengdao and Qi Niang, which was considered a wedding gift for them, but on the third day, when Li Xiu was leaving, there were a lot of gifts on the ship.

After saying goodbye to Li Ke, Li Xiu took Qi Niang down the canal, ostensibly to Suzhou, but only stayed in Suzhou for one night, and the next day he connected with the people left by Zhang Shiyi, and then quietly went to sea to Liuqiu Island.
