As Li Xiuyuan expected, Meng Jiang's husband Fan Xiliang, like countless civilians who came to the Great Wall, disappeared at the foot of the Great Wall that the Emperor of Qin had vowed to build.
For Meng Jiang, darkness will soon come and engulf her mercilessly.
It would be difficult to find a living person at once, but it would be much easier to find a dead person. In less than a moment, Master Su asked Zhu Hu to bring over the death list.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the names on the roster and was stunned for a long time. Then he looked at Zhu Hu and asked, "Please help me find out, where did this poor guy die?"
Li Hu took the roster and looked at it, frowning and replied, "I'm afraid we won't have any news until tomorrow."
"No problem. I'll ask His Highness to give you a jar of wine later. Thank you for your hard work." Li Xiuyuan also knew that this was a troublesome matter, and only people like Li Hu could help.
After seeing Li Hu off, Young Master Su drank a few glasses of wine and his eyes were a little blurry.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he said blankly: "You also know that the Great Wall is not what I want."
Li Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said quietly: "As an emperor, we built this Great Wall so that the people in the pass can have a stable life."
Young Master Su was stunned, looked at him and said in disbelief: "Do you think my father is not wrong?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "From the perspective of Guannai Jin and the king, he is not wrong; but the people who execute the order are not considerate of the people's sentiments and arrest people everywhere, but they violate the law of heaven."
Once a general succeeds, his bones will wither away. Not to mention the King of Qin, even Li Xiuyuan himself committed an act of killing 3,000 heads in anger.
At that moment, he wondered if he was possessed by a demon?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan could only continue to comfort him: "It's too early to say some things now. I'll solve this little trouble first, and then I'll solve this trouble for you."
Young Master Su was stunned after hearing this. He blushed and murmured, "I'm already like this, what else can cause trouble?"
In his opinion, being sent to the border by his father was already the biggest punishment for him.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the couple and shook his head, and said seriously: "Don't think that everything will be fine after building this Great Wall. The village where I live has suffered greatly from the Huns..."
Only then did Miss Xiangfu realize that the trouble Li Xiuyuan mentioned was not the trouble she had in mind.
Looking at the untroubled man in front of me, I thought, maybe only the Huns are troublesome, right?
The things that he and his party encountered on the passers-by were really nothing compared to the Xiongnu army.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Young Master Su and asked: "Husband, you have been here at the border for a year, have you ever faced off against the Huns army?"
Young Master Su nodded and replied coldly: "After several battles, small frictions have never stopped."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the tea in the cup quietly and said thoughtfully: "Don't put all your thoughts on building the Great Wall. It's time to train troops."
In his opinion, if the Qin army here at the border is the same as the imperial army in the imperial city, then this Great Wall is no match for the Xiongnu army.
He had even seen the battle that would take place not long after, and looking at the prince in front of him who didn't know what subjugation meant, he couldn't help but sigh again and again.
Miss Xiangfu didn't want to disturb the two of them, so she went outside the tent and took the two maids for a walk in the mountains.
Li Xiuyuan changed the course of tea and talked about business with Young Master Su.
Li Xiuyuan did not try to persuade Prince Su to give up the unrealistic idea of becoming emperor, although in the eyes of the Qin army generals and the two Meng generals, His Highness the Crown Prince should be the successor of King Qin.
Those things are still unspeakable in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
He knew very well what he could and could not say now, so he didn't hit the nail on the head until he came to the question of Miss Xiangfu's whereabouts. "There is something I need you to come up with now."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said seriously: "Miss Xiangfu had better not go back to the imperial city again. If you want to be happy every year in the future,
Can see her words. "
Li Si, the left prime minister, and Li Xiuyuan, a native of the imperial city, could not change, and he did not want to change.
Zhang Liang and Shuzi have their own life trajectories, and he does not need to worry too much about them. He has already helped them embark on the path of spiritual practice.
In his opinion, this was enough.
It's just that the two guys in front of them, who seem to be a perfect match, are unable to control their miserable lives. Li Xiuyuan is thinking about how to do it without changing the rules of this world.
Help two people have an unknown future.
Young Master Su was shocked when he heard this, and frowned tightly. He looked at Li Xiuyuan, who had no expression in front of him, and asked, "Is it possible that another incident has occurred in the imperial city?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said quietly: "I'm just preparing for a rainy day. You don't have to listen to my opinion."
Young Master Su sighed, leaned back in his chair and asked feebly, "Please tell me."
"It's up to you to choose between the two methods, or you can let Miss Xiangfu choose."
Li Xiuyuan said: "First, ask Miss Xiangfu and my girl to go to the coast of the East China Sea, where Xu Fu is. Second, you build a house for her to live in Prince Village, and there will be two maids to take care of her."
These two choices are both good choices in Li Xiuyuan's opinion.
Even if Miss Xiangfu stayed in Prince Village near the Great Wall, her final destination would be to find Xu Fu in the East China Sea. This was the only way Li Xiuyuan could think of.
Since he couldn't change the fate of Young Master Su, he could only use Li Daitao's trick to keep this miserable couple away from the war-torn world here.
Young Master Su thought for a long time before murmuring to himself: "Is it possible that Sir can see into the future? Otherwise, why would you think of letting Madam stay here or go to the East China Sea?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "I can't say that if I go to the East China Sea, I can write a letter to Xu Fu. If I stay here, it shouldn't be difficult for you to build a house in Prince Village."
"No matter what choice you make, I will not leave here for the time being. I still want to watch you gallop on the battlefield and have a life-and-death battle with the Huns..."
Li Xiuyuan could not do anything about Meng Jiang's previous matters because Fan Xiliang was already dead.
But he believed that as long as Meng Jiang could overcome this difficulty, he and the lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion would naturally be able to watch each other until they left the Qin Empire.
Young Master Su learned some of Li Xiuyuan's secrets from his master. Although it was not very detailed, he firmly believed that Li Xiuyuan would not harm him.
Otherwise, there is no need to bring his wife to the Great Wall.
Since Li Xiuyuan clearly said that he would not tell him anything more, he could only choose to believe that something he could not predict would happen in the future.
And he does love his wife very much.
After much thought, Master Su finally made a decision. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and replied, "The East China Sea is too far, so let's build a house in Prince Village first."
For Mr. Su Lai, at least the world in front of him is under his control. He can take care of his wife at all times, and he also wants to see his lover at all times.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "You have to give me a token. Next, I will take the miserable sister to pay homage to her dead husband."
There were countless Qin troops on the Great Wall, but not everyone bought his fault like Li Hu did, and Li Xiuyuan didn't want to cause trouble in the labor camp.
Young Master Su nodded, got up and rummaged through the bookshelf, and finally handed an iron plate to Li Xiuyuan.
He smiled and said, "I'll just ask Li Hu to accompany you, sir. You don't have to go to such trouble, right?"
Li Xiuyuan took the iron plate and replied: "It's different. I may stay with you for a year and a half. I don't have an identity. I can't let Li Hu follow me all the time."
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Remember, in the coming years and months, you and the lady of the prime minister's house should not be separated."
"Why?" Young Master Su frowned again.
Li Xiuyuan brushed his sleeves and chuckled, "Because if you want your love to last forever, you must cherish your good relationship day and night..."
"What about Sir?" Young Master Fusu asked again, "Why do I only see Sir's brother but never hear about Sir's lover?"
"They..."
Li Xiuyuan thought of the two women who had left with the old Taoist priest, and didn't know whether they had returned to Phoenix Valley or Apricot Blossom Valley.
Under the sigh, he murmured: "I am a young man who doesn't know what it feels like to be sad. By the time I figured it out, I was already farther and farther away from them..."
"How far away?" This was the first time that Mr. Su heard Li Xiuyuan talk about his lover, and he couldn't help but ask.
"How far?" Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's so far that with my current cultivation level, I can't return to them. It's so far that I don't know which month of the year I have to wait before I can go back."
No matter how he traveled through all the worlds, there was no way he could return to his parents and his lover.
This is Li Xiuyuan's sadness.
…
Back in Prince Village, the sun was still hanging on the mountain peaks and was about to set.
After searching for a while, Li Xiuyuan finally found a grocery store and bought some paper money for incense candles, because he didn't want to tell Meng Jiang the final truth tonight.
Everything, wait until Li Hu comes to find him and takes her to the Great Wall.
Even if she is shaking the world and weeping ghosts and gods, she still has to let her cry.
When the woman standing on the roadside told him that she was the legendary Meng Jiangzhi, Li Xiuyuan could no longer be cruel to her.
At the village market, he bought another load of firewood, rice, oil, salt, meat, vegetables, and Li Xiuyuan carried a large basket and walked to the old man's house at the head of the village.
Back in the yard, the old man was enjoying the coolness under the jujube tree. He looked at Li Xiuyuan who walked in and said with a smile: "I drank the tea made by my husband last night. I seemed to have become more than ten years younger overnight, and I also gained a lot of strength."
The old woman moved a stool to Li Xiuyuan, pointed to the green dates on the tree and said, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, just wait until the dates turn red and then eat them."
Li Xiuyuan took the stool, placed the big basket under the tree, and said with a smile: "Just right, I'm afraid I won't leave here until next spring."
Meng Jiang, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this and asked: "Brother, are you going to stay here for a long time? Are you not going back to the imperial city?"
Li Xiuyuan picked up the big pot on the table, poured a bowl of herbal tea and drank it.
While wiping the tea foam from the corner of his mouth, he replied: "I have some things to do at the Great Wall, just in time to help you step into that legendary threshold."
The god of fate ruthlessly closed the door to survival in Meng Jiang's life. In order to help her survive the most difficult moment, Li Xiuyuan did not hesitate to promise in advance to help her open another window of hope.
This time, even if there is a conflict with this side of heaven, he will fight for it.
In his opinion, changing Meng Jiang's future life path would not affect the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty, nor would it destroy the balance of this world.
The old woman reached out to dig through the things in the basket and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sir, why did you buy so many things?"
The old man couldn't help complaining: "We are very satisfied if you can live here and talk to us, why do you still buy things?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "The days from now on are still long. Leave the money to me, this girl. I won't be short of money."
Meng Jiang naturally understood what Li Xiuyuan meant, looked at the two old men and said with a smile: "Just follow what my elder brother said, we will have to bother you here for a long time."
After speaking, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiuyuan and asked carefully: "Brother, is there any news about my husband?"
