Chapter 955 Pei Ji is also dead
"Brother, what do you mean is that the Supreme Emperor was not dead at all, and the substitute was buried in the imperial tomb?" After hearing Li Xiu's explanation, Qi Niang couldn't help but shout in shock. After all, this fact was too incredible. If she hadn't listened to Li Xiu's words, she wouldn't have dreamed that there was such a bizarre thing in this world.
"Haha, the king of a country actually has to pretend to die to escape. Isn't it ironic?" Li Yuan kept listening to Li Xiu telling the story of the original story, and then he spoke, his face full of self-deprecating.
"My elder brother once told me that life is ever-changing and no one can grasp its own destiny. What we can do is to fight against destiny with our best efforts!" Unexpectedly, when Qi Niang heard Li Yuan's self-deprecating words, she immediately spoke, and quoted the great truths that Li Xiu had said.
"Hahaha~, fight against fate! I like this sentence. Didn't he want me to die in Da'an Palace? I just want to escape. Even if I die, I will die outside!" Li Yuan laughed when he heard Qi Niang's words, but Li Xiu next to him shook his head secretly. It seemed that although Li Yuan had escaped for so long, his resentment towards Li Shimin had not dissipated.
"But I still can't understand. Since Your Majesty has left the Tang Dynasty, why should he come back?" At this time, Qi Niang asked again, with a puzzled expression on her face like Li Xiu just now.
"Haha, you little girl actually asked me, don't you know, Brother Zhang and I came to the Tang Dynasty from thousands of miles away, just for you?" Li Yuan seemed to like Qi Niang very much, and then smiled and said.
"For me?" Qi Niang was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Li Xiu in confusion. This was also her habit. After all, when she encountered something she didn't understand, her first idea was to ask Li Xiu's opinion.
Li Xiu was indeed a little confused at first, but now he heard Li Yuan's words, he immediately reacted and said helplessly: "Your Majesty and Uncle did come for your and Chengdao's affairs. Last year, Uncle also wrote a letter to me personally, hoping that I can agree to Chengdao's affairs with you."
"Yes, Brother Zhang and I are just for the matter between Chengdao and Qi Niang. Chengdao is also a crushing person. After seeing you last time, I returned to America and fell ill. I originally planned to tell him about marriage, but he would not want to get married even if he died. In desperation, I, a grandfather, could only come to the Tang Dynasty with shamelessness, hoping to get your elder brother to agree, but I didn't expect that your elder brother would have a connection with him." Li Yuan also smiled and said.
"It's not okay if you don't want to understand. This silly girl is too stubborn. The princess and the others introduced her to many young talents, but she doesn't like any of them. At her age, if she stays still, she really can't get married, so I can only follow her wishes." Li Xiu sighed at this time. Of course, his words were a bit exaggerated. After all, with his identity, Qi Niang really doesn't have to worry about marrying.
Qi Niang was also very smart. When she heard Li Yuan and Li Xiu's words, she understood what was going on. She couldn't help but blushed with shame. She shrank behind Li Xiu again and dared not see anyone. However, Li Yuan's words also made her completely relieved. After all, she hadn't seen each other for a few years, and she was also worried about what changes would happen to Li Chengdao.
"Hahahahaha~, Chengdao and Qi Niang are really a couple. I originally wanted to recruit Chengdao as my son-in-law, but he didn't want to. Now it seems that he can only recruit him as his niece!" The bearded guest laughed loudly when he saw this. Last year, he wrote a letter to Li Xiu, but was worried that Li Xiu would not agree, so he went with Li Yuan. Now it seems that he had gone in vain because Li Xiu had already sent Qi Niang.
Qi Niang couldn't help but be even more shy when she heard the bearded guest. Li Xiu smiled helplessly, but at this time he saw Pei Ji next to him, and frowned and said, "Mr. Pei, you are here too. Are you not afraid of being discovered by someone?"
In order to send Qi Niang to the south, Li Xiu also wanted to find an excuse to establish a bank. After all, he has a high position and power, so naturally many people are staring at him. Although Pei Ji retreated from the court, he still maintained a considerable influence in the court. Every move touched a lot of nerves. For example, he was sick some time ago, which caused a lot of discussion in the court. If he left Hedong and came to Yangzhou, it would attract many people's attention.
"Haha~, don't worry, the prince consort, because I am dead, my family is also holding a funeral for me, and at the same time, the memorial to report the funeral was handed over. It is estimated that I am dead now that Chang'an has spread the news of my death!" Pei Ji laughed.
"You...you use this trick too. Is it a plan..." Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and then he understood Pei Ji's plan.
"Yes, I'm old and I've already seen it. Instead of just waiting for death at home, it's better to accompany Your Majesty to see the world and chat with Your Majesty to relieve boredom!" Pei Ji smiled freely and seemed to be really planning to go to America with Li Yuan.
"My greatest blessing in my life is to have a friend like Pei Jian!" As soon as Pei Ji finished speaking, Li Yuan next to him also spoke, and a look of emotion appeared on his old face. However, his friendship with Pei Ji was indeed amazing. Whether it was wealth or poor, the deep friendship between the two did not change at all. The legendary Boya and Zhong Ziqi were just like this.
When Li Xiu and the bearded guest heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw a bit of envy from each other's eyes. After all, it is a great luck for anyone to find a close friend in life.
"Uncle, Your Majesty, when did you come to the Tang Dynasty? Is it safe on the road?" Li Xiu asked again with concern. It took several months to sail from America to the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan and the bearded guest were older. Even though they looked in good spirits now, Li Xiu was still a little worried.
"We have actually arrived in the Tang Dynasty for a month, but we spent most of our time on Liuqiu Island. This time, it was because we received news from Brother Pei on the 11th that we came to pick up Brother Pei in person, but we didn't expect that Brother Zhang saw you and Qi Niang on the dock again, so we invited you to come and have a chat!" Li Yuan explained at this time.
"So that's it. I was shocked when I saw my uncle's back that day. At first I thought it was dazzled, but I finally received a letter from my uncle and confirmed that my uncle had returned. But I didn't expect that even Your Majesty and Mr. Pei were here." Li Xiu smiled helplessly again. Li Yuan was really brave enough to come directly to Yangzhou, and he was not afraid of being discovered.
"Why didn't Chengdao come?" As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, Qi Niang saw Qi Niang poking her little head out from behind him and asked shyly on her face.
