The night was relatively peaceful, of course, only where Princess Yongping lived was peaceful. There were still some gunshots in the distance.
The Tang army here is equipped with flintlock rifles, which are not found in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. However, it is normal here that at night, the surrounding rebel activities are most frequent, so the army must use the most powerful weapons to wipe them out.
Normally these people would find a place to hide and would never come out, so when they came out, we had to deal with them as quickly as possible. We don't have the time to play hide-and-seek with them, so as long as these people came out, the Tang Dynasty would dispatch its most powerful army, and there would naturally be many more corpses on both sides of the road the next day.
"Is it the same in Fuso Capital?"
When going to the port to board the ship, Princess Yongping said with some concern that she wanted to stay here longer after all.
"Princess, we haven't been there, but I think it's better than here."
The young eunuch didn't know the situation in the capital, but it was always okay for him to follow Li Xiang. When Li Xiang was in Fukuoka and Nagasaki, things here were not so chaotic. But after Li Xiang left, many evil spirits emerged. We can take this opportunity to clean them up and kill as many as we can.
After hearing what the eunuch said, Princess Yongping felt relieved. If one were to be in such an environment every day, it would not be a good thing for anyone. She was so nervous every day. I really don’t know how her sister managed to get through these days.
Princess Yongping and her men set sail again, but this time they sailed along the coastline, and they could often see everything on both sides of Fusang. Indeed, compared with the Tang Dynasty, this place was considered poor.
In fact, even compared with the Tang Dynasty, this place is still poor even compared with Nanzhao. Many people are wearing tattered clothes. Although these areas were not occupied by the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that the local life itself is not very good.
Princess Yongping had a question at this time: how could such a poor country like Fusang come up with so much money?
Perhaps this question could only be answered by Li Xiang. After staying on the boat for another day and night, they finally arrived at the capital of Fuso.
In Princess Yongping's opinion, this city is quite decent and can be compared with some big cities in Nanzhao. However, if compared with some big cities in the Tang Dynasty, it is really not good enough. This also shows the gap between the two countries.
This time, all the people on the ship were from the imperial court, so no one came up to check. At this moment, Princess Yongping looked towards the port and indeed saw the dark yellow canopy.
This is Li Xiang’s bicycle frame. I felt relieved in my heart. If Li Xiang didn’t come, it would mean that my status here was not high.
However, when Princess Yongping got closer, she found that her sister was the only one in the carriage, and she had come here in Li Xiang's carriage.
Am I just a princess of a declining country?
As expected, I couldn't get that person's attention.
Princess Yongping was originally in high spirits, but after seeing everything in front of her, her heart instantly fell.
“Sister, sister…”
Princess Yongning in the distance was almost crying. It was the first time in her life that she hadn't seen her sister for such a long time. When she was in Nanzhao, even after her sister got married, Yongning often secretly ran out of the palace to visit her sister's home. Seeing her sister standing at the bow of the boat, Princess Yongning's tears were already coming down.
Although Princess Yongping is good at calculating, she still has real feelings for her sister. Seeing her sister waving the handkerchief in her hand, Princess Yongping quickly responded and tears flowed down involuntarily. After all, the sisterly love is deep.
Looking at the luxurious clothes on Yongning and the grand occasion around her, Yongping was really envious. They were both princesses of Nanzhao, but she could not compare with her sister at all. It was because she made the wrong choice in choosing a man.
Princess Yongping knew very well that a woman has three chances in her life. One is the chance of being born. She was born in the palace of the King of Nanzhao. This was her first chance to be chosen, which was at least better than the fate of most women in the world.
The second chance was the chance to get married, and Princess Yongping lost this completely. Although the Duanhai family was also a big family in Nanzhao, it has now been wiped out. Apart from a sum of money, there is probably nothing left. This is also one of the reasons why Princess Yongping did not return to Nanzhao.
The third option is naturally to rely on your own son, but it is obvious that he is not reliable now, so you can only make more changes on the second chance.
The ship finally docked, and Princess Yongning quickly ran into her sister's arms, crying uncontrollably. After all, she was still a little girl. However, when the two sisters hugged each other, Princess Yongping had another feeling, that is, her sister's body was not broken yet.
this?
Princess Yongping suddenly thought of another thing, that is, her sister had said before that one had to wait until the age of eighteen to get married. She really didn't know what Li Xiang insisted on.
But now is not the time to talk about this. Princess Yongping suddenly had a new idea in her mind, and she was secretly happy.
What man doesn't like fish? Since his sister is still a virgin, and there is no other woman around Li Xiang, it has been such a long time since he came here from the Tang Dynasty. Maybe this is an opportunity for him, but he feels a little sorry for his sister in front of him.
But this idea was quickly dispelled from his mind. Look at the East Palace in Chang'an City. Aren't the Cheng Luan sisters also in the East Palace? Moreover, there are not so many formalities in the Tang Dynasty now. Even if the royal family marries someone who is already married, it is a very normal thing.
There were such people in Li Shimin's palace...
"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
After the two sisters talked for a while, Princess Yongping pretended to be nonchalant and asked.
"He went about his business as soon as he arrived. Although this is the capital of Fuso, the rest of the country is still unsettled. So, apart from the evenings, I spent a lot of time playing by myself. Fortunately, there are many fun things to do here, and he will have dinner with us in the evening."
Yongning remembered what Li Xiang had told her: he would have a meeting with the King of Fusang during the day, and that he would come over to have dinner with his sister in the evening...
It seems that the King of Fuso is going to Datang...
