"I don't agree! Chengdao and the others are just children, how can they leave the Tang Dynasty and go to America on the other side of the sea?" Princess Pingyang in the room refused with a grief and anger. She didn't know in advance that one of the conditions for Li Xiu's negotiations with Li Shimin was to send Li Chengdao and others to America. Li Xiu was also deliberately hiding them from her, but now it is necessary to negotiate with Li Shimin, so it is naturally impossible to hide them anymore.

"Xiu Ning, calm down. This is the only way to dispel the King of Qin's vigilance and the only way to ensure that Chengdao and their safety. Otherwise, even if the King of Qin agrees to let them stay, he will probably feel uneasy to sleep and eat, and in the end he will even secretly get rid of Chengdao and others!" Li Xiu persuaded him earnestly at this time.

While Li Xiu was speaking, he also looked at the other people in the room. This was the room where Li Yuanji recovered from his injuries. In addition, he also called Li Chengdao and his mother Zheng Guanyin over. It can be said that almost everyone here is from the Li family. After all, this matter determines the future fate of Li Chengdao and others.

"Even so, there must be other solutions!" Princess Pingyang was still unwilling to accept this result.

"Auntie, don't worry about us. I have grown up. I have also the fourth uncle and the others who can take care of several younger brothers. Moreover, America is not completely a barbaric place. The husband's uncle Qiubing has already brought people there and is also preparing to study in America. When we arrived there, we could be with Qiubing!" At this moment, Li Chengdao suddenly spoke. When Li Xiu chatted with him that day, he had already analyzed the pros and cons of America in the past. He also thought it clear that instead of staying in the Tang Dynasty and waiting for death, it would be better to go to America to regain freedom.

"Chengdao, you...I..." Princess Pingyang was choked and unable to speak when she heard Li Chengdao's words. In fact, rationally, she knew that Li Chengdao's best choice was to leave the Tang Dynasty, but she couldn't accept it emotionally. After all, her brother had passed away, and she didn't want her brother's children to suffer in the distant barbaric land.

"Sister, Chengdao has discussed this matter with me before. Although I didn't agree at the beginning, after calming down and thinking seriously, I found that this is the best choice now. After all, I lack prestige. Chengdao are still young, and with Li Shimin's personality, they will not allow them to grow up at all, so I'd leave for the time being and wait until Chengdao and others grow up before making plans!" At this moment, Li Yuanji, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke.

"Fourth Uncle, I don't want to fight for anything more. Since the second Uncle likes the throne, let's forget it. Our Li family can no longer bleed for a mere throne!" However, just as Li Yuanji finished speaking, Li Chengdao retorted. Although he was not old, he was more open about the throne than Li Yuanji.

"What is fighting for? The throne was originally your father's, that is, yours, but now it has been stolen by Li Shimin. Now we have no strength. When we have the opportunity in the future, we must rob the throne again, otherwise how can we be worthy of your father?" Li Yuanji was furious when he heard this. In his opinion, Li Chengdao's words were a bit ruthless.

Li Yuanji scolded him, and Li Chengdao opened his mouth but did not dare to say anything else. However, Zheng Guanyin, who had not spoken at this time, hugged his son Li Chengdao with some distress and said with tears in his eyes: "Fourth brother, at this point, I don't care about the throne or not. As long as I can save Chengdao and their lives, it will be a blessing. In addition, we should discuss with the opponent how to leave, so as not to have any more changes!"

Hearing his sister-in-law say this, Li Yuanji finally closed his mouth in disappointment, but he was still very unwilling to accept it. At this time, Zheng Guanyin turned his head and said to Princess Pingyang again: "Three sister, I know you can't bear to bear it, but if you let the warehouse stay, it will probably be more dangerous. You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them for a lifetime, so let them leave the Tang Dynasty early, so you won't end up like their father!"

At the end of the day, Zheng Guanyin's tears finally couldn't stop flowing. She was just an ordinary woman and had no great ambitions. Now she only wanted a few sons to grow up safely. As for the throne, I really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Princess, the Crown Princess said it well. Now everything is important to Chengdao's safety. Moreover, the reason why the King of Qin agreed to me was mainly because the Turks had to go south. He could not face the attacks from both internal and external sides, so he agreed. But if he waited until he solved the Turks, it would be difficult to tolerate Chengdao's safety!" Li Xiu also persuaded again at this time.

Princess Pingyang finally calmed down after hearing the above. She was silent for a long time with pain on her face, and finally nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I agree with this matter. Li Xiu, you can negotiate with Li Shimin as soon as possible, and then send them away immediately, don't let Li Shimin have any possibility of changing his mind!"

"No problem, but before that, I want to count the number of people going to America first. The King of Qi and Chengdao and other men must go, but I still recommend that women like the Crown Princess stay. After all, the conditions in America are indeed worse than those in our Tang Dynasty, and I am worried that they can't stand it." Li Xiu nodded first, then looked at Zheng Guanyin and others and said.

In the patriarchal society of the Tang Dynasty, women had a very low status, but fortunately this was the case, Li Shimin would not make things difficult for women like Zheng Guanyin. For example, in the original history, although he killed Li Chengdao and others, he left behind two daughters of Zheng Guanyin and Li Jiancheng, and even chose a husband for them. Of course, what is even more disgraceful is that Li Shimin, the beast, actually married Li Yuanji's wife, his sister-in-law, and gave birth to a son.

"I'm not at ease to let Chengdao and others go to America alone, so I definitely want to go, but the mother and the others are still young, and no one will make things difficult for them, so I let them stay in the Tang Dynasty for the time being, so I ask the third sister to take care of everything!" At this time, Zheng Guanyin was the first to speak. At the end, she couldn't help but shed tears and bowed to Princess Pingyang Yingying. Li Jiancheng had five sons and five daughters in total. Her mother was his eldest daughter, two years younger than Li Chengdao, and was also born to Zheng Guanyin.

"Our family will never stay here, so we will go to that America at that time!" Li Yuanji on the hospital bed decided the fate of the family without anyone else's words. The Princess Qi next to him did not dare to say anything. After all, Li Yuanji is the head of the family, and whatever he says is what he says.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, my mother and the others will be my daughter in the future!" Princess Pingyang first nodded to Zheng Guanyin solemnly, then turned her head to persuade Li Yuanji, "Fourth brother, America is thousands of miles away from my Tang Dynasty, and the sea storms are dangerous. Children need to take great risks to go there, so you have to think twice!"

"Sister, don't persuade me anymore. I have the ability to protect my children!" Li Yuanji said stubbornly again. He was a strong man and didn't want his children to live under the charity of Li Shimin. This is understandable, so Princess Pingyang sighed after hearing this and did not persuade me again.

Hearing the words of Zheng Guanyin and Li Yuanji, Li Xiu nodded immediately, then picked up a pen and recorded the list of going to America. In addition to people from the Li family like Li Yuanji, they also brought hundreds of guards when they left the Eastern Palace. These guards also needed statistics, because America was too far away. In order to ensure the loyalty of these guards, Li Xiu summoned them together, told them about the situation in America, and asked them to register voluntarily. After all, these people may have family members. If they go to America, they may never think of reuniting with their families in their entire lives.

However, Li Xiu still underestimated the loyalty of these East Palace guards, or they were actually worried about being retaliated by Li Shimin in the future, so in the end, nearly 200 people chose to go to America. Of course, most of these people did not have family concerns. Either their family died in the previous wars, or there were more brothers in the family, and it didn't matter if he had less.

These guards, together with Li Chengdao and others, happened to have just over 200 people in the end, not too many or too little. With these statistics, Li Xiu immediately went to another small courtyard in the Princess Villa, where Zhang Shiyi's family lived. When Li Shimin's army came, they were surrounded by the encirclement, and finally moved here together.

"Brother Eleven, two hundred people have made it. Can you arrange someone to send them to America?" As soon as Li Xiugang saw Zhang Shiyi, he immediately made a clear idea.

"Are you really planning to send someone to America?" Zhang Shiyi asked in surprise at this time. Li Xiu had mentioned this to him before, but he didn't take it seriously at the time and thought he was joking, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Of course it's true. Chengdao and others can no longer stay in the Tang Dynasty. Only by going to the Americas can they escape. However, this matter still requires the help of your eleventh brother, so please don't refuse!" Li Xiu said with a serious look on his face at this time. Now he is also very glad that he lets the bearded guest go to the Americas, and now Li Chengdao and others have another way out.

Seeing Li Xiu really thought so, Zhang Shiyi couldn't help but show a meditative expression. After a while, he spoke: "For sea boats, two hundred people are not a small number. Moreover, my father just went to America. He not only took away some experienced old crew members, but also most of the sea boats. Among them, I can summon some crew members, but there are not many sea boats. The two hundred people don't know how to train the boats. The consumption of food and fresh water is a big problem unless..."

"Unless what?" Li Xiu asked nervously when he heard this.

"Unless you can persuade the Tang Dynasty court and ask them to give me a batch of excellent sea boats. As long as there are enough ships, I can transport people to America!" Zhang Shiyi said confidently when he spoke at the end.

"Sea ship? I remember that the best warship in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be the Five-Tooth Warship, but the center of gravity of this thing was unstable, so I'm afraid it couldn't get out of the sea, right?" Li Xiu asked back with some confusion at this time. He had seen the Five-Tooth Warship in the Tang Dynasty. It was actually a kind of tower ship. The ship was built like a city tower, and it looked very majestic, but because the center of gravity was too high, it could easily overturn.

"Bah! Who cares about the Five-Tooth Warship? I'm talking about the sea ships along the Tang Dynasty. Our sea ships were also bought from the shipyards in the Tang Dynasty. As for the sea ships in Japan, their performance is not average, let alone the Nanyang, so when it comes to the best sea ships, they have to be from the Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Shiyi also said disdainful when talking about the Five-Tooth Warship, but then praised the Tang Dynasty's shipbuilding ability.

"So that's it, no problem, I'll help you fight for it!" Li Xiu finally understood when he heard this. The Tang Dynasty was not only five-toothed warships, but there must be many other types of ships. However, Chang'an is far away from the sea, and he is not familiar with the ancient shipbuilding industry, so he didn't react for a while.

"Okay, as long as you have a boat, everything will be wrapped around me!" Zhang Shiyi said with his chest immediately.

After dealing with the internal affairs, Li Xiu kept running in the military camps on both sides in the next few days, busy negotiating with Li Shimin. In fact, there was nothing to talk about. He just communicated with both sides and tried to reduce hostility between the two sides. Li Shimin also withdrew the surrounding army in accordance with his previous promise, leaving only more than 10,000 people to confront the Detachment of Women.

Three days later, Li Xiu had already determined the route of Li Chengdao and his friends to leave the Tang Dynasty. He must first withdraw from Chang'an to Dengzhou by land. In order to ensure their safety, the women's army was escorted along the way. Li Shimin would never send troops to attack them. In addition, he also agreed to mobilize a group of sea ships from the south and hand them over to Li Chengdao and the others for use.

However, in exchange, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang will stay in Chang'an. Although Li Shimin did not say it clearly, Li Xiu also knew that they would become hostages in Li Shimin's hands to ensure that the leaving Detached Detachment of Women would not make trouble. Li Xiu agreed to this.

After discussing everything, Li Xiu was worried that there were too many dreams at night, so he saw Li Chengdao and the others off that morning. In order to show his sincerity, Li Shimin retreated the remaining army ten miles again, and the spies of the Detachment of Women also set out in advance to find out that there were indeed no ambush around him.

"Uncle Ma! I will leave it to you all, Chengdao, King Qi and others!" Under the morning sun, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang stood side by side, and raised the wine bowl to see them off.

"Don't worry, you and the princess should take care of each other!" Ma Ye and others raised their wine bowls and said, even the young Li Chengdao was no exception. In the carriage behind, Li Yuanji and his family also opened the car door and looked at them.
