Volume 1 Beacon Fire and Troubled Times Section 51 On the Way to Seek Marriage

Li Xiuning returned to the boudoir and couldn't wait to take out the letter, she knew that it was written to her by Luo Yu.

On the cover of the letter is a stick figure rose drawn with a charcoal pen, which is a sketch taught to her by Luo Yu, except for Luo Yu and her, no one knows this way of drawing.

Luo Yu's calligraphy is still so difficult to describe, but Li Xiuning doesn't care, she has seen too much, and she is used to it.

The content of the letter made Li Xiuning a little confused, she never imagined that Yang Guang, who was still high-spirited when they parted two or three months ago, was separated from her forever at this moment.

Luo Yu also mentioned in the letter that in order to cope with the great changes that will occur next, he will not come to Taiyuan to propose relatives for the time being, and will return to Taiyuan to discuss as appropriate after the situation is clearer.

In the end, Luo Yu also considered Li Xiuning and asked her to stay with her father first and contribute to the great cause of the Li family.

After reading the letter, Li Xiuning thought of Yang Man, she shouldn't have known the news of Yang Guang's death, should she tell her now, Li Xiuning hesitated.

Let's talk to my father first, the great changes have happened, and there are still many things that need to be rescheduled.

Unable to take a break, Li Xiuning came to the brightly lit hall, Li Yuan was really here, he sat alone on the Taishi chair, and seemed to be much older in an instant.

Li Xiuning slowly walked up to Li Yuan, and saw that his father was motionless like an old monk, and hurriedly said, "Father, what are you thinking?" ”

After asking twice in a row, Li Yuan came back to his senses, and when he saw that it was Li Xiuning who had gone and returned, he was surprised and said, "You haven't rested yet?" ”

Li Xiuning made a cup of tea, brought it to Li Yuan, and said, "Father, Luo Yu said that he couldn't come to Taiyuan to propose marriage for the time being, and asked his daughter to stay with her father......"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "What does this kid mean?" Do you want my Li family to bow to him? ”

Li Xiuning was a little puzzled, usually his father would not express his emotions like this, why would he be so unhappy when he heard what Luo Yu said?

Just wanted to explain it to Luo Yu, Li Yuan said again: "I just wrote a letter to Shimin, asking him to bring Luo Yu over with your Uncle Niu early tomorrow morning, everything between the two of you is simple, this is the biggest concession for my father." ”

Li Xiuning was stunned, and threw herself into Li Yuan's arms, crying so much, pear blossoms brought rain.

Li Yuan smiled, patted his daughter's shoulder, and said softly: "Daughter, as a father, I only hope that you can be happy, as a woman, you should have taught your husband and children at home, and my Li family doesn't need you to charge again." ”

Li Xiuning stopped crying and said sadly: "But Your Majesty has died, the current situation is chaotic, and my daughter also wants to contribute to my Li family. ”

Li Yuan sighed with emotion, recovered his majesty, and said with a smile: "Sui lost Jiuding, the heroes are competing for the deer, my Li family has been prepared for a long time, do you really think that the prince of the country who has been a father for all these years is in vain?" ”

Li Xiuning exclaimed: "It turns out that my father has been prepared for a long time, so the daughter is relieved, but there is a matter right now, should you inform Yang Man of Your Majesty's death?" ”

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "What do you think of her?" ”

Li Xiuning said: "During this period of time, I got along with her, and I saw that she should have put down the princess's shelf, and her daughter had a life-saving grace, and she had a fight with His Majesty's father and daughter, so her daughter felt that she should not hide it from her no matter what." ”

Li Yuan said: "In this case, tell her with the camera, she is also a poor person." ”

Li Xiuning said: "Yes, you rest early, Uncle Niu and they will bring Luo Yu over tomorrow, you still have to be busy." ”

Li Yuan scolded with a smile: "It's not for your business, don't worry, go back and rest." ”

It's time, Luo Yu still hasn't been sleepy, he has been thinking about how the next situation will develop, if the situation in this time and space is the same as his original time and space, he can still have historical materials to learn from, but now it has only been seven years, Yang Guang is dying, which is a bit unexpected.

Even if Li Yuan is not the emperor for the time being, he finds Yang Yu as a puppet, and when the overall situation is a little stable, it is better to abolish Yang Yu or force Yang Yu to take the Zen position, and the Tang Dynasty should not wait until seven years later.

Forget it, it's useless to think about it now, I also said in the letter to Li Xiuning, for the time being, Taiyuan will not propose marriage, Li Yuan should agree because the situation has changed.

When he was thinking wildly, Li Shimin knocked on the door and said, "Brother Yu, have you slept?" ”

Luo Yu got up and lit a candle with a lighter, and when he opened the door, he saw Li Shimin and Niu Jinda standing at the door, and hurriedly invited them in.

Before he could speak, Li Shimin handed over Li Yuan's letter, poured a cup of tea for Niu Jinda, and said: "You are right about raising troops, my father has already explained in the letter that we will take you back to Taiyuan early tomorrow morning." ”

After reading the letter, Luo Yu was stunned and said: "Uncle Niu, all this is too simple, not to mention the six rites, the kid didn't even hunt the flying geese, how can he propose marriage?" ”

Niu Jinda said with a smile: "Tang Gong said that everything is simple, and the old man is not easy to brush him, since he has no opinion, why are you still entangled in these vulgar etiquette?" ”

Li Shimin continued: "The matter is urgent, my father should want to hug his grandson as soon as possible, Brother Yu, the younger brother is optimistic about you!" ”

Luo Yu scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, you kid, Tang Gong's move, I'm afraid he wants me and your sister to leave the next chaos as soon as possible, and he doesn't hesitate to put aside the worldly etiquette, it's really well-intentioned!" ”

Niu Jinda said: "Okay, it's so decided, we will go to Taiyuan early tomorrow morning to propose relatives and rest early." ”

After speaking, he pulled Li Shimin, who seemed to have something to say, and walked out, Luo Yu was still worried about Niu Jinda's state at first, but now it seems that he has improved much after drinking two or three jars of soju.

Yang Guang's soul returned to the Nine Heavens, the death of the Great Sui is a fait accompli, even if he is unwilling, it cannot be recovered, not to mention, Niu Jinda is still serving under Li Yuan's account, the deceased are like this, and the living have to continue to struggle.

Niu Jinda is not a sad person, he is also a decisive general on the battlefield, and he still has this psychological endurance.

Seeing that they had gone away, Luo Yu closed the door and lay back on the bed.

It seems that marrying Li Xiuning as a wife is doomed, but I always feel a little sorry for her, there is no romantic marriage proposal ceremony, there is no time to prepare a wedding ring and wedding dress, and the difference from the wedding I imagined is too big, is there a chance to make up for it again in the future?

Let's not talk about these first, where will the two go after they get married? Now that there are wars going on everywhere, and the Li family is also in an eventful time, can Li Xiuning really leave everything behind like himself?

Luo Yu didn't want to force Li Xiuning, if she wanted to stay, she could only accompany her until the Tang Dynasty was established and then retreated after it was stable.

fell asleep in a daze, and didn't wake up until Zhang Yang came over and knocked on the door, it turned out that Niu Jinda and Li Shimin had already arrived.

The three of them had some breakfast at random, and with Zhang Yang and other five special combat team members and the twelve personal soldiers sent to Li Shimin by the eldest grandson Wuji, they quickly stepped on their horses and set off for Taiyuan under the golden sunshine of the rising sun.

The defense of Songta is all handed over to the eldest grandson Wuji, who not only has to guard Songta, but also takes care of the women's army, and the burden is not light.

The five special combat team members all tied two jars of 60-degree burning knives with slings and hung them on their chests, which was a gift that Luo Yu wanted to give to Li Yuan.

Niu Jinda already knew something about this kind of burning knife, so he specially picked a few jars of three-steamed low-degree liquor and asked the guards to carry it, he liked this wine very much.

Shouyang is just a hundred steps ahead, the city wall here is many times better than the Song Tower, just relieved of the crisis of the Turkish-Mongolian coalition army, the east gate has been opened, and there are many pedestrians.

Niu Jinda didn't seem to have any intention of entering the city, so he directly pulled out his horse and turned around, bypassing Shouyang City.

Luo Yu didn't have the opportunity to see Gao Shilian, because this trip was not a military affair, and the twenty people were dressed in civilian clothes, and if they didn't enter the city, they could get around Shouyang City faster by walking an extra mile or two.

The closer he is to Taiyuan, the more apprehensive Luo Yu becomes, can he really be a good husband? What's more, the other party is still Li Xiuning, this is the so-called premarital anxiety.

After Shouyang City, all the way to Taiyuan is a mountainous area, fortunately there is an official road zigzag through the mountain, Li Shimin is a little impatient, beating horses and galloping.

The crowd had to speed up to keep up, which made the man with the wine bitter, so he could only pull the reins with one hand and protect the jar with the other, so as not to break it.

This run was more than an hour, and he advanced more than 50 miles, and if it weren't for the lack of horsepower, Li Shimin might not have stopped.

The mountains are shaded by trees, the sun is shining on the official road, the summer sun is already very hot, not far in front of the horse, is a large tall camphor tree, under the tree is a green meadow, and there is a stream about three feet wide next to the meadow.

The breeze was cool, and this was the best place to rest, so the people hurriedly dismounted and led the horses to the brook to let them drink freely, so as to relieve the heat of the journey.

After the horses were full of water, they were free to gnaw on the grass under the trees, and when everything was arranged, Niu Jinda ordered everyone to eat something.

There are more than 30 miles to Taiyuan, now there is no hurry, walk slowly, you can arrive at the latest, you can eat and sleep here for half an hour.

Li Xiuning came to the wing room where Yang Man lived early in the morning, and saw that she had practiced guns in the small courtyard, and was worried about how to tell her about Yang Guang's death.

remembered the past when the two of them practiced together when they were children, so they took a red tassel gun from the weapon rack next to them, flew into the spear flower she danced out, and dismantled it with one move.

Although Yang Man is a princess, her martial arts have not been left behind, and after leaving the Li family, she often learned from the royal worship when she was in the palace, and accumulated a lot of practical experience.

And Li Xiuning is more direct, she is on the battlefield, she can solve the enemy with one move, and will never use the second move, which can save time and effort, and kill more enemies, this is the difference between fighting on the battlefield and fighting in the rivers and lakes.

The two of you went back and forth, the guns were blooming, and the sound of sticks broke through the air for more than ten rounds, until Li Xiuning's spear tip gently pressed against Yang Man's throat and did not stop.

Yang Man put away the spear and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuning, you are still powerful, I can't beat it." ”

Li Xiuning also withdrew the spear, inserted it into the weapon rack, turned around and said solemnly: "Sister, sister has something to tell you......"

Unexpectedly, Yang Man interrupted Li Xiuning's words, and after putting away the gun, he said with a crying voice: "Actually, my sister didn't say that I also knew, is it about my father?" He gave me a dream last night, and he still has a white silk wrapped around his neck......"

Li Xiuning was stunned when he heard it, could it be that there are really ghosts and gods? Yang Man not only knew that Yang Guang was dead, but also knew that he was strangled to death by Bai Aya, which could not be explained except for the theory of ghosts and gods.

Yang Man said again: "Sister, I'm fine, you are busy first, I want to be alone quietly." ”

Li Xiuning saw that her eyes were full of tears, trying to control it not to let the tears fall, infinite pity swelled in her heart, and she wanted to go over and hug her, but Yang Man flashed to the side.

Seeing Yang Manruo's attitude, Li Xiuning couldn't be reluctant, and said softly: "If you want to cry, cry out, I'll be next door ......"

Yang Man nodded, turned around and entered the wing, and then there was an irrepressible cry of sadness.

In fact, Yang Man is also very pitiful, although Yang Yong is her biological father, she has no impression of Yang Yong, because she has long been accepted into the palace by her grandmother Dugu and placed in Yang Guang's mansion for foster care.

When she was ten years old, Yang Yong died, and she didn't feel sadness, but Yang Guang told her that her biological father had died.

She was ignorant at the time, and only regarded Yang Guang as the closest person, and she still is.

When she dreamed back last night, she still didn't believe it, Li Xiuning talked to her so seriously this morning, she already felt bad, and she made a tentative speech, but Li Xiuning didn't say anything against it, only to know that the dream was true.

Li Xiuning couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, she understood the feeling of losing a loved one, when her mother died, it was this kind of sadness that permeated her whole body and was overwhelming.

Luo Yu and the others rested, and the horses were well fed and drunk, this time there was no urging, they spread their hooves and ran happily.

The sun had reached mid-heaven, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed that it was not a good choice to travel in such a hot day.

But they were all horses, and the heat was nothing, as if they knew that the destination was not far ahead, and they could rest as long as they got there.

The so-called old horses know the way, they are from Taiyuan, and naturally know how to come back.

Luo Yu looked at the Taiyuan city wall and the moat as wide as the Chang'an city wall, and his heart swelled with infinite emotion, the ancient working people were really great.

Taiyuan has arrived, but where will his fate go?
