Two tigers cannot share one mountain. In this world, there can only be one person who can become the King of Bandits.
Unless it's a male tiger and a female tiger. Unless one of them is a woman who wants to be the King of Bandits, and the other is a man who wants to be the King of Bandits.
The chances of winning against Miss.Liu for that position were slim. Li Yi could only choose the second option.
"I have something to tell you." He picked up the bowl with one hand and gulped down the wine in it. He looked at Miss.Liu and said, "We're leaving."
Miss.Liu finally raised her head and looked at him. She asked, "Where are we going?"
"The world is so big. While we're still young, how can we not go out and see the world?" Li Yi looked at her and said, "Haven't we achieved some results in the Fringe? Why don't we go there with Liu Meng and occupy all the mountains there. We will unify all the bandits in the Fringe. Those who submit to us will prosper, and those who oppose us will perish. Whoever dares to resist will be beaten up until they stop resisting. This way, not only will we rid the people of evil, you will also realize your childhood dream."
This news was a little sudden. Miss.Liu was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at him and asked, "Really?"
"Of course. Why would I lie to you?" Li Yi shook his head and said, "When we unify the Fringe and consolidate the forces there, we will go to the Wu Kingdom. Isn't your disciple rebelling in the Wu Kingdom? We'll help her drag that dog of a King of the Wu Kingdom down from the throne. What do you think?"
Miss.Liu glanced at him and asked, "You're not going to be the Gyeong Of Silla?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "What Gyeong Of Silla? How is Gyeong Of Silla more important than realizing your dream?"
Miss.Liu thought for a moment and nodded. "I think your suggestion is good."
…
"Sir, I just heard Sister Ruyi say something about leaving …" When Li Yi was packing things in the room, Shouning held Yong Ning's hand and walked in from outside. She asked, "Are you going out to play? Where are you going? For how long?"
"I'm going to a very far place." Li Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know how long I'll be gone."
Shouning looked at him and asked, "Just like last time?"
Yong Ning clearly remembered what happened last time. She walked over and hugged Li Yi's arm. She begged in a soft voice, "Brother, I want to go too. Don't leave Xinyi behind …"
Li Yi carried her up and said with a smile, "Of course I have to bring Xinyi along …"
Shouning looked a little hesitant as she asked, "Is it as long as the last time?"
"Maybe a little longer than the last time." Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Bing Ning, do you want to go?"
"If it's that long, Mother won't agree …" She showed a hopeful look on her face, but in the end, she could only shake her head gloomily and said, "I'll wait at home for you to come back …"
Li Yi nodded.
She had a distressed look on her face and murmured, "Next time, when I grow up, you must bring me along when you go out to play!"
"Okay …" Li Yi smiled and put Yong Ning down. He said, "Go play …"
Looking at the two little girls walking out hand in hand, Li Yi retracted his gaze. There was a trace of a complicated look on his face.
…
The lake in the academy had now become the most popular place in the three academies.
The lakeside was filled with green plants, and the bluestone road was paved with long benches for people to rest on. It was the first choice of the academy's students for their morning recitation.
It was now class time, and there were not many people in the academy. On the bluestone road, Li Yi, Li Xuan, and MIngzhu walked side by side.
Because of their identities, the former Three Heroes of the Capital were no longer addressed as such.
Li Xuan turned his head and looked around. He sighed and said, "In these two years, the Capital has changed a lot. Thinking back to when I first came to the Capital, I really can't recognize it."
This sentence should not be said by him, because the people who had caused these changes in the Capital were here.
In these two years, they had almost turned the Capital upside down. They had built the three academies, fought against the King of Shu, fought against the Cui family, and overcome all kinds of obstacles in the court. They had implemented a new system, and had established the current situation in the Capital.
Li Xuan did not feel that it was shameless to say this. He said as he walked, "In a few days, I plan to expand this place and build a few more academies. The Academy of Sciences should also be divided. By then, you can give me some ideas …"
"I will leave the Capital for a while."
"What do you think about merging the School of Mathematics into the Academy of Sciences? But Han might not be willing …" Li Xuan was startled. He looked at Li Yi and asked, "What did you just say?"
Li Yi looked at the lake and said, "In a few days, I may not be of much help. I will leave the Capital soon."
Li Xuan stopped, and MIngzhu also looked at him.
"Leave the Capital?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked in disbelief, "If you leave, what about your family's brothel and shop in the Capital …"
Li Yi looked at him strangely and asked, "I will only go out to play with Ruyi and the others. What brothel and shop … Speaking of the brothel and shop, you have to help me keep an eye on them while I am away. Don't let anyone bully them …"
"You are now the Gyeong Of Silla. Who would dare to cause trouble for your family's brothel and shop?" Li Xuan frowned and said, "Why are you suddenly leaving …"
"My wife said she was tired of staying in the Capital and wanted to go out for a walk. What can I do …" Li Yi shook his head and said, "Besides, there is no point in staying in the Capital all the time. It is good to go out and see the scenery …"
Li Xuan looked disappointed. He then sighed and said, "I really envy you. You can leave whenever you want …"
He looked at Li Yi and asked, "How long will you be away this time?"
Li Yi thought about it and said, "At least half a year. At most … it is hard to say."
Li Xuan looked at him and said in surprise, "So long!"
"I don't know the exact time. If I don't take advantage of my youth to see the great rivers and mountains, there will be no more opportunities in the future." Li Yi shook his head and said, "By the way, I want to bring Yongning with me this time. I am worried that if I leave her for too long, her illness will relapse."
"That child will only be close to you." Li Xuan was slightly depressed, but he still nodded and said, "I will give an order … When will you leave?"
"At the beginning of next month."
"No, you still have to give me some ideas about the Academy of Sciences." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "If you leave, it will be difficult for me to do these things in the future. Wait here for a while. I will immediately go to the Academy of Sciences to get the materials."
After Li Xuan left in a hurry, only he and MIngzhu were left here.
The Princess had her head lowered since the beginning and did not say a word. After Li Xuan left, she walked alone in the direction of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Li Yi followed her to the pavilion. She finally asked, "Where are you going this time?"
Li Yi thought about it and said, "My current plan is to go all the way west. I will first go to Qing 'an Prefecture, and in the end, I will probably go to Shuzhou …"
MIngzhu suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Are you coming back?"
"How is that possible …" Li Yi said with a smile. He looked into her eyes and then lowered his head. The two of them fell into a long silence.
MIngzhu did not ask any more because she knew why Li Yi had left.
As long as he was still in Jingdou, the conflict between Li Xuan and the officials would not be resolved. If a prince who was favored by the Emperor and had power greater than the heavens stayed in Jingdou, countless people would not be able to sleep at night.
He chose to leave for Li Xuan. If he still wanted to come back, he would not think about leaving.
After an indeterminable amount of time, Li Yi finally raised his head. Seeing her serious expression, he reached out to tug at the corner of her mouth and pulled out a smile. He said with a smile, "Of course I will come back. You are still here, how can I not come back?"
MIngzhu did not care about the hand that was playing tricks on her face. She stretched out her little finger and said, "Pinky swear."
Seeing her action, Li Yi was first startled. Then he also stretched out his little finger and entwined it with hers. He said, "Pinky swear."
MIngzhu stretched out her thumb and pressed it tightly against his.
"Pinky swear, hang yourself. Don't change for a hundred years!"
