Chapter 991: All roads, you can choose

In a flash, Aunt Gongsun, who was over 50 years old, looked not as old as her actual age. At the beginning of Kaiyuan, she made a great reputation in the north and was summoned to the palace. Her skills could only be used in front of the imperial palace. She needed to leave the palace layer by layer, which was as difficult as climbing to the sky, and ordinary people could hardly see her sword dance. At that time, she always thought that this was probably what her life was, until Yue Wuniang asked someone to bring such a message. She cheated and escaped from the palace, and then came to the northern border, seeing a vast world that she had never reached before, and her sword skills were unknowingly improved.

It is precisely because of the unity of energy and spirit that she looks younger than Xue’s family, just like the bright scene at the palace banquet back then.

"Three gentlemen, Miss Xue."

Li Ying and Li Yao and Li Ju have seen Aunt Gongsun several times. Seeing Xue's face full of shock, Li Ying remembered that they were the noble prince and princess in the East Palace in the hall. Aunt Gongsun was just a dancer. Now that time has passed, their identities are different. Hearing this call of the husband, he couldn't help but feel bitter. After he calmed down, he said, "Gongsun, we are all here now. Can you take us to see the one who has a great idea? "

Xue's family had been vigilant and worried along the way, but after seeing the three Li Ying brothers, they all forgot about it and immediately woke up completely. She looked at Li Ying with a solemn face, and Li Yao and Li Ju, who had just had a relaxed and joking look on her face, immediately stepped forward and came to Li Ying's side, reached out to hold his hand tightly, but said nothing.

"Miss Xue hasn't seen your two younger brothers yet. I'll take you to see them together." Seeing Li Ying's face darkened, Mrs. Gongsun said lightly, "Where is the place where Miss Xue's two younger brothers are, the big tent of Shi Jin. The reason why he has never seen three gentlemen before is just to give you more time to see this world that is completely different from Chang'an and Luoyang. The earliest ones you arrived one year earlier than Miss Xue, and the latest ones are only three months earlier than her. Moreover, you are not restricted from leaving the camp. I think you have seen a lot of things you want to see."

Li Ying also knew that their life here was extremely relaxed compared to before exiled to Lingnan. As long as there were people following him when he entered and left, it didn't matter where he went. In fact, if there were no one who secretly provided medicine and medical treatment, even though they were young, they would have been young, even if they were young. So, he restrained the remaining hostility, thought for a while, and bowed and said, "Gongsun, please forgive me. I have been through so many years and I always thought I was still Li Ying of the past. Please lead the way. We have been caring for so many years, and we should also thank those who lend a helping hand."

"Zhi Jin is only entrusted by others, and there is another person who really lends a helping hand." Gongsun looked at the four once glorious nobles in front of him. Seeing that they all showed incredible expressions, he explained with a smile, "As for today, the reason I came to welcome him is because you must all know me. Okay, please follow me closely."

The last sentence of Xue was initially confused, but when she was walking through the countless camps, she was still secretly remembering the road at first. Not only her, but even Li Ying and Li Yao and Li Ju, who had tried to explore this camp, finally gave up their plans in a discouragement. Each camp looked the same and different. With the east and west, only the sun could make people slightly clear, but she could not remember the way forward at all. Even among the three brothers, Li Yao, who had always had the best memory, couldn't help but shake her head pressing her temples.

"If it were back then, maybe I could have tried it..."

His muttering was just to lament that during the years he had been exiled to Lingnan, the hard work and hardships had caused his memory and concentration to decline. But the aunt Gongsun, who was leading the way, seemed to hear it. She turned around and glanced at them, and said, "This is a camp arranged in the image of the Eight Formations of the Marquis of Wu and the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes. If you didn't study these mysterious principles of Yi, it would be impossible to remember the journey in an instant. This is not to prevent you, but to prevent me from easily getting in. You must know that the two moved from the right wing of the Turks to this place. At first, they did not show any mountains or water, but now there are more people paying attention to it, so you should naturally be more careful."

When Li Yao heard Aunt Gongsun say this, he not only did not feel relieved, but became even more confused. He exchanged glances with Li Ying. Seeing that Li Ju had given up his efforts to remember the road and went to talk to Xue, the two brothers couldn't help but feel a little heavy in their hearts. If they were just a barbarian chief, they would naturally be happy, but the other party could win over Aunt Gongsun who was also faked to death and could actually set up a camp that conforms to the principles of Yi, it would at least show that the other party was well-versed in Sinology. Once such a barbarian king was full of wings, it would be even more terrifying than the Turks.

Finally, everyone followed Gongsun to a camp that was almost the same as some large tents on the way. The only difference was that the guards in front of the camp were not those uniformly dressed guards, but a group of twenty or thirty young men and women who were about sixteen or seventeen years old were patrolling around. When they saw Gongsun, they immediately stopped and pressed their swords with their right hands and bowed their heads and said, "Master."

Aunt Gongsun glanced at them, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She nodded slightly, and then said, "No gift, let's continue."

Seeing that Aunt Gongsun had just said something, these young men and women continued to tour as if they hadn't seen them. Li Ju, who was outspoken, asked easily: "Since these people call Master Gongsun, are they your disciples?"

"Not bad." Aunt Gongsun did not hide it, and nodded directly and admitted, "I don't know which batch of sword camp disciples this is, I am indeed my disciple."

Seeing that Aunt Gongsun actually said this, Li Ju immediately asked curiously: "Since there are disciples, can you all take disciples here?"

"Yes, with my master's direct disciple here, I can naturally establish a sect here."

While talking, everyone saw someone in the tent tucked a curtain, but it was a bright woman. She was dressed in a beard, tall and beautiful, and the arrogance that seemed to be no one around made Li Ying feel familiar. And when he was hesitating where he had seen this woman, Li Yao, who was beside him, suddenly recognized the person: "You are the disciple of Gongsun, Madam Yue, and you have been allowed to leave the palace by His Majesty in his early years."

"That's right, if the master hadn't stayed in the Pear Garden and picked me out, maybe I would have been trapped in the deep palace and became a toothless tiger, how could I still be today?" Yue Wuniang had no good feelings for all the royal people, and her tone was particularly rude at this time. "I think you can guess everything and think that you must have brought you here for the sake of being a strange product. I will tell you the truth now. I am entrusted by someone to be loyal to others and have no time to do so many conspiracies. You must know that you are all dead in the eyes of others. Even if you appear in front of others again, and you are still alive?"

This was extremely sharp, and Li Ying was both embarrassed and embarrassed. He didn't want to admit this because the sense of superiority brought by the prominent background in his subconscious always made him feel that he was at least a prince, but now someone has ruthlessly revealed the most harsh reality. Li Yao is a delicate and sensitive person like him, and is also silent at this time.

Only Li Ju said indifferently: "I have lost nothing, even if the strange goods are alive, I don't care much. But, can Miss Yue tell me about the so-called trust of others and loyal people? Who is so kind?"

"You don't need to know this."

At this moment, the one who came out of the big tent was Luo Ying. The Lord of the Capital is in his prime, with a tiger-back and a bear-back, and a magnificent figure. Even the old man from Anguo Temple or from Shaolin Temple in Songshan would definitely not recognize him, and he was the young monk back and forth. He had been in charge of the army for many years and then dominated the side. His voice was low and thick. Standing there just gave people a sense of power that was impressed.

Looking at the four noble people in front of him who were not qualified to look up at him, he said in a deep voice: "I was just entrusted to take you in. As for who has secretly helped you in the past few years and sent you here, you don't have to know. Whether you are dragon sons and phoenix grandsons or royal relatives, it has nothing to do with me. Wu Niang is my wife, Gongsun, everyone is my mother-in-law. I was born and raised in the Tang Dynasty and am now the Lord of Dubo, but I never deny that I am a Tang Dynasty person. You have been robbed for many years because of false charges, so when my mother-in-law and Wu Niang helped you, I naturally would not refuse to take you in."

After analyzing this relationship clearly, he continued: "Mrs. Xue's two younger brothers were young when they were exiled. They were the first to escape from me. They volunteered to join the sword camp to learn swords. They did not change their surnames. But they were willing to become my disciples and never return to Chang'an. I have agreed to them. They will come later. Mr. Xue can ask as much as possible. As for you, you can choose to stay with me first, and return to the Central Plains to settle down in a few years after the limelight has completely passed, and you can also choose to stay here and be a survivor from the Great Tang Dynasty. Of course, you can also choose to travel far to the Western Regions and go to a more distant place to see the scenery of foreign lands. The cost of travel or followers is not a problem. In short, I meet you today, and there is only so much I want to say. You have to choose the future path yourself."

When Xue's two younger brothers were finally able to reunite and Luo Ying ordered people to send them back, the three brothers finally realized that they had to spend a lot of effort to escape from their cicadas here, and they really had no intention of anything. Even though they did not believe that there was such a beautiful thing in the world, the three paths were clearly placed in front of them, but they became hesitant. That night, they all had insomnia after a long separation. Even Li Ying and Xue, who were finally able to sleep with each other many years later, were mixed and difficult to fall asleep.

In the same late night, another person in a camp adjacent to Luoying's tent was also unable to sleep. Since being escorted here, Yu Nu laughed on her face, but in fact she had been thinking about the situation in Chang'an. But the news she received today made her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
