Chapter 327: Orphans and Widows
Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang walked into the courtyard where Li Chengdao's family lived, and as soon as they entered the door, they happened to see Li Chengdao sitting alone in the small pavilion in the courtyard, so Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang glanced at each other, only to see Princess Pingyang nodded, and then went into the room alone to visit Zheng Guanyin and others, while Li Xiu went to the pavilion.

"What are you thinking?" Li Xiu gently walked to Li Chengdao and sat down, then looked at his immature face and said, compared with his peers, Li Chengdao's little face has a little more maturity that does not match his age, and even if he has just lost his father, he did not shed tears at this time, but looked very calm.
"Sir, the second uncle sent troops to besiege us, is he determined to kill me and the fourth uncle?" What Li Xiu didn't expect was that Li Chengdao would ask about it as soon as he opened his mouth.
"This ......" Li Xiu didn't know how to answer when he heard this, in fact, he knew that with Li Chengdao's cleverness, he must know the answer, so even if he lied to him, it was useless, but if he was to tell the truth, he didn't know how to say it.
"Sir, you don't have to be embarrassed, I also know our current situation, my father is dead, the second uncle must have taken control of Chang'an City, and the next thing is to stabilize the situation and eradicate us at the same time, because as long as we are alive, it will be a huge threat to him!" Li Chengdao saw that Li Xiu didn't speak, so he took the initiative to speak at the moment, and his tone was still very indifferent when he spoke.
Looking at Li Chengdao's appearance, Li Xiu was even more worried, and finally spoke with a light sigh: "Chengdao, you are a smart child, and the current situation is indeed as you said, but you don't have to worry, the princess and I will definitely not let anyone hurt you!" ”
"Sir, you don't have to comfort me, although I am also scared in my heart, I am also very aware of the current situation, but if possible, I hope to exchange my life for the lives of my mother, as well as the fourth uncle and brothers and sisters!" Li Chengdao said cautiously again at this time, his idea is not impossible, after all, for Li Shimin, the eldest son of the crown prince, is the greatest threat to him, if he takes the initiative to hand him over, and then uses some other conditions, it is also possible for Li Shimin to agree to let Zheng Guanyin and others go.
"Chengdao, don't talk nonsense, sir, I have already said it, I will save your life no matter what, and I already have a plan for this matter, but I still need to ask for your consent!" Li Xiu couldn't bear it when he heard this, and he spoke again at the moment.
"Sir, don't lie to me, even if you can let the second uncle spare my life temporarily, but after the second uncle really ascends the throne, the entire Datang will be his world, and for me, although the Datang is big, I'm afraid there will be no place for me anymore!" Li Chengdao was depressed at this time, he may not have such a vision before, but after the great changes, his whole person seemed to have grown up overnight, and all the problems could be seen thoroughly.
"Honestly, I came to you to discuss this matter with you, and if you can agree to my proposal, then I can not only ensure the safety of your mother and siblings, but you can also live freely!" Li Xiu suddenly said very seriously at this time.
At the same time, Princess Pingyang was also comforting her sister-in-law Zheng Guanyin in the room, but although she was the crown princess, she was crying like an ordinary woman at this time, and finally Princess Pingyang comforted her for a long time, which made her slowly stop crying, but at this time, she said without a master: "Third sister, King Qin killed the prince, and now even we orphans and widows don't want to let go, you have to help us make the decision!" ”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will never let anyone hurt you and accept them!" Princess Pingyang said patiently again, after all, not every woman is so strong, her sister-in-law has just experienced the pain of bereavement, and she has to worry about the safety of a group of children, if it were herself, I am afraid it would not be much better than her.
"But I heard that the outside has been surrounded by King Qin's army, what should we do?" Zheng Guanyin was still very worried, after all, she was not an ordinary woman who was uninformed, and she also had her own analysis of the current situation.
"Sister-in-law, there are indeed some troops outside, but they are not in a hurry to attack, which shows that the second ...... Li Shimin may not want to completely tear his face with me, so I have sent someone to inform the people outside and tell them that I want to meet Li Shimin! Princess Pingyang spoke again, but when it came to Li Shimin, she didn't even want to use the title of "second brother" anymore, since the moment he ruthlessly killed her eldest brother, Princess Pingyang no longer recognized this brother.
"Woo~, but King Qin even dares to kill his own eldest brother, how can he care about killing a few more, and even take a step back, even if he agrees to let me and a few daughters go, I'm afraid he will never let them go!" Zheng Guanyin cried when she heard it, she had been the crown princess for many years, and she didn't know the bloodshed and cruelty of the battle for the throne.
"It's okay, Li Xiu has assured me that he has a way to save the lives of Chengdao and others, and he is outside, saying that he has something to say to Chengdao, I understand him, since he dares to say so, he must be completely sure!" Princess Pingyang opened her mouth again to comfort, although she also saw that Li Xiu was not completely sure, but at this time, in order to comfort Zheng Guanyin, she had to say so.
"Li Xiu? Is it the gentleman who is the Taoist, Li Xiu, who even his father praises him very much? Zheng Guanyin was stunned for a moment when she heard Princess Pingyang mention Li Xiu, and then reacted and asked.
"Yes, Chengdao admires Li Xiu the most, but the eldest brother has also wooed him before, but although he is extremely intelligent, he doesn't like things in the court, so he has been taking on an idle position with me, and he is the gentleman of Chengdao, and he has always liked Chengdao, and now since he said that there is a way to save Chengdao, then there must be a way!" When Princess Pingyang said this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Xiu outside the window, and now she actually has no good way, so she can only bet all her hopes on Li Xiu.
At this moment, I suddenly saw the maid helmet hurriedly coming from outside the door, and quickly walked into the room to report to Princess Pingyang: "Princess Qiyu, the person sent to negotiate with the army outside has returned!" ”
"Oh? What do people out there say? Princess Pingyang hurriedly asked when she heard this.
"This ......" Helmet looked at Zheng Guanyin in the room with some embarrassment when he heard this, as if there was something difficult to say. (To be continued.) )
