Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang walked into the yard where Li Chengdao's family lived. As soon as he entered the door, he happened to see Li Chengdao sitting alone in the small pavilion in the yard. So Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang looked at each other, and saw Princess Pingyang nodding, then went into the room alone to visit Zheng Guanyin and others, while Li Xiu went to the pavilion.

"What are you thinking?" Li Xiu walked gently to Li Chengdao and sat down, then looked at his tender face and said, "Compared to his peers, Li Chengdao's little face had a little more mature that was not consistent with his age. Even though he had just lost his father, he did not cry at this time, but seemed very calm.

"Sir, the second uncle sent troops to surround us. Did he be determined to kill me, the fourth uncle and the others?" What Li Xiu did not expect was that Li Chengdao asked about this as soon as he spoke.

"This..." Li Xiu didn't know how to answer when he heard this. In fact, he knew that with Li Chengdao's intelligence, he would definitely know the answer, so even if he lied to him, it would be useless, but if he told the truth, he didn't know how to say it.

"Sir, you don't have to make things difficult for you. I also know our current situation. My father is dead, and the second uncle must have controlled Chang'an City. The next step is to stabilize the situation and eliminate us at the same time, because as long as we are still alive, it will be a huge threat to him!" Li Chengdao saw that Li Xiu did not speak, and his tone was still very cold when he spoke.

Looking at Li Chengdao's appearance, Li Xiu was even more worried. He sighed lightly and finally said, "Chengdao, you are a smart child. The current situation is indeed as you said, but you don't have to worry, the princess and I will definitely not let anyone hurt you!"

"Sir, you don't have to comfort me. Although I am also very scared, I am also very clear about the current situation. But if possible, I hope to exchange my life for my mother, the lives of my fourth uncle and brothers and sisters!" Li Chengdao said cautiously again at this time. His thoughts were not impossible. After all, for Li Shimin, the eldest son of the prince poses the greatest threat to him. If he is handed over him on his own initiative and uses some other conditions, it may also make Li Shimin agree to let Zheng Guanyin and others go.

"Chengdao, don't talk nonsense anymore. I have already said that you will save your life no matter what. Moreover, I have already made a plan for this matter, but you still need to get your consent!" Li Xiu couldn't bear it when he heard this, and he spoke again.

"Sir, don't lie to me. Even if you can ask the second uncle to spare my life for the time being, after the second uncle truly ascends the throne, the entire Tang Dynasty will be his world. For me, although the Tang Dynasty is big, I'm afraid there will be no place for me to be there anymore!" Li Chengdao said with a depressed expression at this time. He may not have such a vision before, but after a major change, he seemed to have grown up in all his problems, and could see through all the problems.

"Chengdao, I came to you to discuss this matter with you. If you can agree to my proposal, then I can not only guarantee the safety of your mother and brothers and sisters, but you can also live freely!" Li Xiu suddenly said very seriously at this time.

At the same time, Princess Pingyang was also comforting her sister-in-law Zheng Guanyin in the room. However, although she was the crown princess, she kept crying like an ordinary woman. In the end, Princess Pingyang comforted her for a long time, which made her slowly stop crying. However, at this moment, she said in vain: "Three sisters, the King of Qin killed the prince. Now we orphans and widows don't want to let go, you have to make the decision for us!"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt you and Chengdao!" Princess Pingyang said patiently again. After all, not every woman is so strong. Her sister-in-law has just experienced the pain of losing her husband, and she has to worry about the safety of a group of children. If it were me, she would probably not be much better than her.

"But I heard that the outside was surrounded by the Qin King's army. What should we do?" Zheng Guanyin said worriedly. After all, she is not an ordinary woman with no knowledge, and she also has her own analysis of the current situation.

"Sister-in-law, there are indeed some troops outside, but they are not in a hurry to attack. This shows that second... Li Shimin may not want to completely break up with me, so I have sent someone to notify the people outside and tell them that I want to meet Li Shimin!" Princess Pingyang said again, but when she talked about Li Shimin, she didn't even want to use the title of "second brother". Since the moment he cruelly killed his eldest brother, Princess Pingyang has stopped recognizing this brother.

"Woooo~, but the King of Qin dared to kill his elder brother, so how could he care about killing more? Even if he agreed to let me go and a few daughters, he would probably never let Chengdao them go!" Zheng Guanyin cried while hearing this. She had been the crown princess for many years, but she also knew the blood and cruelty of fighting for the throne.

"It's okay, Li Xiu has promised me that he has a way to save the lives of Chengdao and others. And he is outside and said something to say to Chengdao. I understand him. Since he dares to say that, he must be fully confident!" Princess Pingyang comforted again. Although she also saw that Li Xiu was not fully confident, in order to comfort Zheng Guanyin, she had to say so.

"Li Xiu? It's the gentleman of Chengdao. Is Li Xiu very much praised even his father?" Zheng Guanyin was stunned when she heard Princess Pingyang mention Li Xiu, then reacted and asked.

"Yes, Chengdao admires Li Xiu the most, but my elder brother has won him over before. However, although he is a very talented person, he doesn't like things in the court, so he has always held a free position with me. Moreover, he is Chengdao's gentleman and has always liked Chengdao very much. Now that he says there is a way to save Chengdao, there is definitely a way!" When Princess Pingyang said this, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Li Xiu outside the window. Now she actually has no good idea, so she can only take all her hopes on Li Xiu.

At this moment, suddenly, the maid hurriedly walked out of the door in a helmet and quickly walked into the room to report to Princess Pingyang: "Princess Qi, the people sent to negotiate with the army outside have already returned!"

"Oh? What do people outside say?" Princess Pingyang asked hurriedly when she heard this.

"This..." Helmet looked at Zheng Guanyin in the room with some embarrassment when he heard this. It seemed that there was something to say. (To be continued.)
