Wu Gang waited until dawn before leaving Rongyue's house, the reason why Wu Gang stayed last night was related to Jin Toad, when Wu Gang came out, didn't Jin Toad follow behind, was discovered by Wu Gang, Wu Gang was honest and honest, but Xiu Wei was there, Jin Toad is not a master of hiding and hiding, Wu Gang was worried about whether Jin Toad, a bad thing, was going to be bad.

When Wu Gang arrived at Rongyue's house, he found that he couldn't feel the golden toad, Wu Gang was afraid that this thing would hide and wait for him to leave, and then come to Rongyue to make trouble, he didn't know that the golden toad had met the female toad. Wu Gang, who had something on his mind, didn't know what to do after thinking about it, and the honest man had an honest way, pretending to be drunk and staying at Rongyue's house. If Jin Toad came to make trouble, Wu Gang decided that he would not be able to spare it.

Since Wu Gang has stayed, Li Ziqiu naturally has no chance to see him. By the time Wang Rongyue got up, Wu Gang had already left. As the delicate girl in the family, Wang Rongyue pouted when she ate breakfast, and Xue asked: "Yue'er, I'm not happy this morning, what's the matter?" Wang Rongyue said unhappily: "The master didn't say a word to me when he left, he said it yesterday that he would introduce Li Ziqiu to him, really!" ”。

The Wang family didn't know Wu Gang's true identity, and no one knew where he lived, anyway, when he came, he came from outside the village, and when he left, he didn't say where he went. Wang Rongyue once asked, Wu Gang said that he lived on the moon, and naturally no one believed it. Wang Yongan has always regarded Wu Gang as a stranger, a stranger, naturally there is something abnormal, otherwise he would not become an ordinary person.

Knowing that it was the little temper of the youngest daughter, Wang Yongan laughed. Xue Shi said a few words to his daughter, "That's your master, you are not allowed to treat your master like this in the future!" Let's eat, your eldest brother has gone to prepare the carriage!" ”。 Wang Rongyue lowered her head and hurriedly eaten, thinking in her heart that she would go to the east gate of the county town to meet Li Ziqiu in the morning.

Wang Rongyue hurriedly finished eating, said hello to her parents, and ran back to the room to pack her things. Xue Shi looked at Wang Yongan who was sitting next to him and said: "Your daughter has been spoiled by you, and now she only thinks about that Li Ziqiu in her heart, and even my mother has been thrown aside, you see, run so fast to pack things!" ”。

Wang Yongan can think about it, and persuaded Xue: "Don't worry so much, as the saying goes, girls are extroverted, and when the girl is older, she will not stay, stay and stay, stay and become enemies, and when she gets married and has children, she will naturally understand your mood." Knowing that Mrs. Xue is also a reluctant daughter, so she complained, Wang Yongan took Xue's hand and comforted: "My daughter is older, she always wants to get married, my Wang family is no longer the home of the eunuch, for so many years, I have read the scriptures and read the Buddha, and I have figured it out, whether it is a family heirloom or a scholarly family, as long as it is safe and healthy, the marriage of the melting moon, just go with her, if there is a fate, it should be harmonious and beautiful, if there is no fate, I can't force it!" ”。

Xue also understands that it's just that her daughter suddenly wants to leave her, and she always thinks about a boy, and Xue's heart is somewhat uncomfortable.

Not only Xue's, but Wang's heart is not a taste, from a one-foot-long baby who has fallen to the ground to a nine-foot-long young man who is now hiding nine-foot, how much he has paid as a mother, I'm afraid only Wang himself knows. If Li Benyuan was still alive, Wang's feelings might be less, and since Wuwei's escape, Wang's heart has never been stable. For so many years, the Wang family has eaten fasting and recited the Buddha, begging the Buddha to bless the safety of the family, and finally raised his son to adulthood.

Although reluctant, Wang still supported his son to take the martial arts exam, and the fledgling was about to fly into the sky without the wings of his parents, hoping that he could ride the wind and waves and move forward bravely. Wang didn't sleep all night last night, and re-folded the two sets of new clothes that Li Mochou sent yesterday and put them in the package, and the close-fitting gold silk soft armor that Mr. Ning prepared for Ziqiu also carefully checked each gold wire.

I put the letters to my two daughters carefully, and I don't know how the two daughters are now, and they haven't been in touch for so many years, just because I'm afraid of leaving any clues for the enemy to find out. Now it's okay, Empress Wu has ascended the throne and become emperor, and many things have been buried in the long river of time. After discussing with Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning also agreed that this time Li Ziqiu went to Chang'an just to see the eldest sister Li Chunrong and the second sister Li Chunlan.

Although the water spilled by the married daughter, for the mother, is the meat that fell from her own body, from the baby who was waiting to be fed to the girl who was like a flower, even if she married farther, she was also the daughter of the mother, how could she not worry, when she thought of Wang's heart-wrenching thoughts.

Two years ago, the youngest daughter Li Mochou was by his side, and the Wang family still had a person to talk to, since Li Mochou married Wang Pan two years ago, the Wang family has become even more lonely, since he knew that Li Ziqiu was going to participate in the martial arts, the Wang family chanted the scriptures night and night, even if the heart was bitter, the Wang family did not stop it.

The flowers raised in the greenhouse can't withstand the wind and rain outside, and the big trees can't grow in the flower pots, Wang understands this truth very well, and his son will be the pillar of the family in the future, after all, he has to face this complex society, Mr. Ning is also getting old, and he can take care of Li Ziqiu to grow so big, and he has been benevolent and righteous. The Wang family has said to Li Ziqiu more than once that he will give Mr. Ning a pension in the future and treat him as his elder.

Li Mochou came over with her husband Wang Pan yesterday and made two new clothes for her younger brother Li Ziqiu, Wang Pan as a brother-in-law prepared a coil for Li Ziqiu on the road, and a tall horse, with a black body, bright coat, complete saddle, only two years old, Li Ziqiu is very affectionate.

Wang Pan is now a scribe in the county government, and his father obtained it for him after graduation. To be able to prepare such a horse for Li Ziqiu, he must have begged his old man, otherwise he would not have the financial resources, although Wang Pan is also an only son, and his sister has also married, but now it is still his old man who is in charge, such a horse cannot be obtained without a hundred times, it can be seen that Wang Pan is also doing his best.

This is not just because of being a brother-in-law, Wang Pan and Li Ziqiu had a good relationship when they were in school, and they also longed for the Prancing Horse Jianghu and met a woman in the rivers and lakes. Until now, Wang Pan wondered if he had fallen into the trap of the two sisters and brothers, and he didn't learn martial arts, but he married Li Mochou home.

After sending Wang Pan and her sister away, she went to her mother to say good night, and was pulled by her mother for a long time. The night before Li Ziqiu's departure was destined to be chaotic, and not long after returning from his mother, he was called over by Ning Zihan. After instructing as usual, Li Ziqiu saw that Ning Zihan seemed to be hesitant to say something, so he asked: "Uncle Ning, just say what you want, I'm not a child anymore."

Ning Zihan looked at Li Ziqiu, opened his eyes vigorously, looked up at the roof, and tried not to let Li Ziqiu find the tears in his eyes. I don't know which philosopher said that tears can't flow back, this is not wrong, Ning Zihan's tears finally fell, Ning Zihan, who was much older, smiled, wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "The lamp oil this time is a little choking, don't want this next time." ”

Li Ziqiu smiled and said to Ning Zihan: "Uncle Ning, I know that you are worried about me, don't be sad, it's not like I won't come back." My mother was always shedding tears just now. After I get high school, I'll take you all to Chang'an to live! Ning Zihan smiled with red eyes: "Okay, then dare to be kind, I will also go with you to enjoy Qingfu!" ”。

Ning Zihan took out a letter from the table, handed it to Li Ziqiu, and said, "This is a letter I wrote to a friend in the capital, who is Di Renjie, one of the chief examiners of the martial arts exam this time. Di Shilang and I once had a relationship", Li Ziqiu was a little surprised, in his impression, Ning Zihan was not a person who tended to be inflammatory, and he was reluctant to fight, "Uncle Ning, what does this mean?" ”。

Ning Zihan saw that Li Ziqiu had doubts on his face, so he explained: "I didn't ask you to go through the back door, Di Gong used to be kind to me, you go this time, I have prepared some gifts, you can bring it to Di Gong, hand over the letter to Di Gong, he will naturally understand, you have to be careful, this letter should not fall into the hands of others, you must hand it over to Di Gong personally", Li Ziqiu promised: "I know, I must personally hand it over to Di Gong!" ”。

Ning Zihan continued: "I'm afraid I won't be able to repay Di Gong in this life, I feel guilty, I have no descendants, are you willing to repay Di Gong's kindness for me?" Li Ziqiu promised: "I regard Uncle Ning as an elder and do my best." Ning Zihan nodded, and then said: "It's just that Chang'an's martial arts expedition is the first time that the imperial court has opened a martial arts department, and it must be a gathering of dragons and tigers.

Li Ziqiu carefully put away the letter, "Thank you, Uncle Ning!" Please rest assured, my mother has already instructed that even if you fail the exam this time, you will not make trouble, and everything should be based on your own safety! , this time the main thing is to see my sister and see the world", Ning Zihan looked at Li Ziqiu, who was insincere, and nodded, "It's good if you know, go and rest", after Li Ziqiu gave the salute, he took the letter back to his room.

Ning Zihan stood at the door, watched Li Ziqiu leave, and then returned to the table, arrived at a cup of osmanthus brew, raised his neck, drank it dry in one gulp, and arched his hand towards the sky, "Brother Benyuan, please forgive the little brother for breaking his promise, if you want to blame, blame me." Ning Zihan originally wanted to tell Li Ziqiu everything about Li Ziqiu's father today, including some things that happened later.

In the past seven or eight years, in addition to teaching, Ning Zihan has constantly inquired about the affairs of the Western Regions, and then the affairs of Li Ziqiu's hometown. I thought that when Li Ziqiu grew up, he would have an explanation. Although the Wang family had confessed to Ning Zihan, don't tell Li Ziqiu about the past, and said that this was what Li Benyuan had confessed in his dream, don't avenge him.

Ning Zihan is a scholar, and he is deeply influenced by Confucian etiquette, the hatred of killing his father, the hatred of not sharing the sky, the hatred of seizing the family, you live and die, this is not a trivial matter! But the road of revenge is not so easy to walk, if the enemy is very powerful, if you can't get revenge, you can't get revenge, and you still fold yourself in.

After so many years of inquiry, Ning Zihan spent a lot of money and inquired about a lot of news, according to these news, Ning Zihan was analyzing the situation according to what he knew, and the matter was almost clear. The mastermind of the original interception and killing of Li Benyuan was the Turkic Dali Khan, in order to attract Helan Bi to attack the aliens in the Western Regions, so as to anger the local residents, in addition, Dali Khan also bribed the military department Shangshu Wu Sisi, so as to cause chaos in the management of the Western Regions within the imperial court. The Western Turks can take advantage of the situation to rebel and seize the Western Regions.

At that time, Empress Wu sent Di Renjie to deal with this matter, after Di Renjie went from Penglai to Chang'an, the first thing he did was to understand the situation in the Western Regions, and then judged that it might be a conspiracy of the Western Turks. On the way to Liangzhou, he received a letter sent by Situ Feng on a fast horse, which was the letter sent by Ning Zihan.

Although no evidence was provided, the letter detailed Helanbi's smuggling, as well as the smuggling of the goods, and Di Renjie judged that what the letter said was likely to be true. immediately changed the strategy of going to the Hexi army first, but first got in touch with Pei Xingjian, mobilized troops and horses to guard against the Western Turks, and then lured Helan Bi out of Wuwei City, and cooperated with the army sent by Pei Xingjian to take Helan Bi in one fell swoop.

Then he began to investigate the evidence of Helan Bi's smuggling, the first culprit had been captured, and Helan Bi's small group was leaderless and was easily taken down by Di Renjie. Then, Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian cooperated, secretly sending people to escort Helan Bi to the Beijing Division, and on the other hand, quietly mobilizing the army, sending people to pretend to be a local mutiny, luring Ashnadali over, and then sending a large army to raid the Western Turkic army.

Under the powerful offensive of the Tang army, Ashnadali was defeated, with heavy casualties and a remnant of less than 5,000 men, and fled north to the city of Broken Leaves in Alimutu. Therefore, Ning Zihan thought that Di Renjie had already avenged Li Benyuan. These things were all deduced by Ning Zihan based on the information he had gathered, and he originally wanted to tell Li Ziqiu these things tonight, so that Li Ziqiu could repay Di Renjie's great kindness. When the words came to his lips, he changed his mind again. That's why he said that Di Renjie was kind to him, and let Li Ziqiu have a chance to repay him.

In fact, Ning Zihan also inquired about the matter of Li Benyuan's hometown. Seven or eight years ago, when he took Li Ziqiu and them to his hometown for the first time, he thought it was very strange, but at that time, Ning Zihan just wanted to settle down as soon as possible, and he didn't want to cause an accident, so he took the method of leaving.

Since Li Benyuan entrusted his family business to Li Ziheng, he must have recognized Li Ziheng's character, Li Benyuan still has a good way of seeing people, how can he be so blind? Not long after Li Benyuan left his hometown, Li Ziheng dared to swallow Li Benyuan's family property, he was not afraid that Li Benyuan would come back to him after he found out, you must know that Li Benyuan is not a good man and a woman.

After Ning Zihan's careful inquiry, he finally had some eyebrows, the problem was still Li Ziheng, and the news from many inquiries was summarized together, Ning Zihan saw some problems, Li Ziheng used to be an honest man, with a good character, and he farmed for a living. But then it became a deep and simple house, for a long time, about a year, almost no going out, from the time it is inferred that it happened shortly after Li Benyuan left.

In front of the people who waited for Li Ziheng to appear again, he seemed to have become younger, his hairstyle had changed, his eyes had changed, he had become able to speak well, and he had started a business, and later he became a rich gentleman on the rich side, and he was quite powerful. The news I heard from the rivers and lakes is also very strange, at the beginning, someone had the idea of Li Ziheng's family, but then there was no news.

Ning Zihan was also going to tell Li Ziqiu about these news, since Li Benyuan didn't talk about it, he naturally wouldn't say these things. The love for Li Ziqiu finally surpassed the shackles of Confucian etiquette, Ning Zihan drank another glass, shook his head, and whispered: "Just let the hatred go with the wind." ”

Li Ziqiu traveled far away, and Ning Zihan was also very concerned, but he still chose to stay and let Ziqiu go alone, the boy will eventually have to face the wind and rain, and after overcoming thorns and thorns, he can become a man who can shelter from the wind and rain!
