"Mother!"
"Why don't…I send someone to send you and Xi 'er to your hometown for a few days tomorrow?”
In the evening.
In the General's Estate.
Lin Qiu said with a smile.
He had thought that his mother would ask him why he wanted to leave.
Why did he go back to his hometown when he was living in Youzhou City?
Who would have thought…
After a while, Old Lady Lin smiled and nodded.
"Yes!"
"Even if you didn't say it today, I was about to mention it to you!”
"Last night, I had a dream!”
"I dreamt of the scene in my hometown when I was young!”
"Sigh, as people get older, they always remember some things from the past!”
Alright, I'll bring Xi 'er back to my hometown tomorrow…"
Hearing this.
Lin Qiu's heart couldn't help but tremble.
He turned to look at his mother.
Lin Qiu had already expected them to leave.
The change of Xuanwu Gate is approaching.
At that time, Jie Li would definitely send their army south and take the opportunity to attack Chang 'an City.
He couldn't guarantee it.
Would he really be able to hold on?
Once the city was breached, the soldiers and civilians in the city would be implicated.
Let his mother and sister leave first.
This was for their own good…She had thought that she would have to waste her breath.
Who would have thought that she would agree so readily?
After a while.
Lin Qiu recovered from her shock.
"Alright, I'll go prepare some things later. You can bring them along!"”
"When you return to your hometown, don't forget to distribute some things to the people in your hometown as a homecoming gift!”
"Pah!"
"Brat, how old is your mother?”
"Where's the homecoming gift?"
Old Lady Lin scolded with a smile.
Soon, her expression turned serious again.
"But that's good. I just don't know if everyone in the family is still alive!”
He looked at his mother's melancholic expression.
Lin Qiu didn't know what to say.
After finishing his meal quickly, he stood up and said,"I'll go and take a look at the things I need to bring. Mother, Xi 'er, you guys eat slowly first!”
" Okay, okay, okay…" The old lady smiled and nodded.
Just as Lin Qiu turned to leave.
Tears flashed across her eyes.
"Mother…"
Lin Xi 'er's brows were tightly knitted together, and she was a little puzzled.
"Mother, big brother clearly wants to send us away. Perhaps the barbarians will come to attack the city!”
"We're leaving just like this…Can you rest assured?”
Hearing this.
Old Lady Lin was not surprised.
Instead, she smiled and said with tears in her eyes,"Because of this, mother can't make things difficult for your big brother!”
"As the garrison general of Youzhou City, he shouldered too many burdens!”
"We can't help him much!”
" But, I can't become his burden…"
"It's good that he left. Only then can he be at ease and fight the barbarians boldly!”
"It won't be too late for us to come back after we defeat those barbarians…"
Hearing this.
Lin Xi 'er's eyes turned red.
The old lady was righteous.
She clearly knew why Lin Qiu had sent them away.
And she agreed so readily.
In reality.
How could she not worry about Lin Qiu's safety?
The flesh that fell from his body.
There was probably no one else who felt more heartache than her.
However…
It was also because of this that Old Lady Lin was said to be righteous and considerate.
Because she understood.
If she became a burden to Lin Qiu because of her heartache…
If Youzhou City was really broken through by the barbarians, it would be impossible for them to escape.
Then she…would be a sinner for eternity.
"Sigh!"
The old lady sighed deeply.
"Xi 'er, after dinner, call Old Han over!”
"Let him pack our things!”
"Tomorrow morning…we will set off!”
Hearing this.
Lin Xi 'er nodded with red eyes.
"Yes!"
"I know, mother!"
After she finished speaking, she quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice before getting up and walking out.
…
At the same time.
Chang 'an City, in King Qin's Mansion.
Li Shi Min's face was dark and his eyes were filled with anger.
Today, in the court, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji once again advised Li Yuan.
He said that there were barbarians in the northern border who often invaded.
Li Yuanji was willing to personally lead the northern expedition.
He also asked the generals around Li Shi Min to go with him.
Li Yuan naturally did not refuse.
Moreover, he had some selfish motives.
Before this, he had been the one to suppress the rebellion and defend against the barbarians.
Moreover, he had won many battles and made many contributions.
The so-called high achievements shock the monarch.
Not even father and son.
Moreover, because of the Crown Prince's matter, how could Li Yuan not feel guilty?
Back then, the Li family had raised an army in Jinyang.
Li Yuan had promised Li Shimin in private.
Once the Sui Dynasty was overthrown, he could become the emperor.
The first one would be to make Li Shimin the Crown Prince and inherit the throne.
Over the years, Li Shimin had been on the battlefield.
Regardless of whether he wanted to be the Crown Prince or not.
The contribution he had made was enough to make Li Yuan wary.
And this time.
Li Yuanji had volunteered to go to the northern borders to resist the Turks.
This credit fell on his head.
Li Yuan was also happy to see this.
Hence, he decided to do it.
He didn't even think about it and nodded in agreement.
In fact…anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were clearly trying to weaken Li Shimin's forces.
He would also get rid of his aides and generals one by one.
How could Li Shi Min not be angry?
"Your Highness!"
"You've always been brothers with the Crown Prince and King Qi!”
"We've tolerated them time and time again!”
"Now, the Crown Prince has sent Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling out of Chang 'an!”
"Today, King Qi wants to lead the generals of King Qin's Mansion to the north!”
"I'm afraid they'll all die if we go this time!”
"Do you really have the heart to watch the generals who fought with you…die?”
Zhangsun Wuji frowned.
She said with a sobbing tone.
Li Shi Min didn't say anything. He sat there with a dark expression.
The once bustling King Qin's Residence.
Now, it had become cold and desolate.
It was as if the King of Qin was about to leave the stage of the Li family.
Just like what Zhangsun Wuji had said, once those generals followed him to the northern borders, they would not be able to escape.
How could any of them come back alive?
Li Shi Min naturally understood this logic.
However, he was still unwilling to believe that his big brother and fourth brother would be so ruthless.
He wanted to kill him.
At this moment, a servant came to report.
"Your Highness!"
"The Crown Prince has sent someone to invite Your Highness to a banquet in the Eastern Palace!”
"Hmm?"
Hearing this.
Li Shi Min was startled.
Zhangsun Wuji's brows furrowed.
A bad thought arose in his mind!
…
…
Kneel!
