Ding Mingda knew that his father, who was a hunter, had a wide range of friends, and some uncles and uncles often came to the mountain family to chat about family life. And his father sent him as the eldest son to Qingcheng Mountain to practice martial arts early.

That year, his father called him home, told him the biggest secret of their Ding family, and then arranged for him to enter the Changfeng Dart Bureau.

His father told him that his mission was to protect Li Han.

At that time, he didn't know why he wanted to protect the granddaughter of Bai Shui.

But he has always been obedient and steady, and he is very conscientious to complete everything his father explains.

At the age of sixteen, he met ten-year-old Li Han.

At first, he thought that maybe Li Han was the descendant of General Li Yuan in his father's mouth, and he was the brother of their family who needed to watch over each other.

For eight years, he followed her all the way, protected her, and followed her. Everything for her has become an inseparable habit in his life.

The year before last, his father officially passed on the jade pendant, which represented the power of the western region, to him and told him the secret about Li Han.

When the previous dynasty fell, Chen Yuan, the former commander of the former imperial court, protected the then prince all the way to the west and fled to Beisu.

Emperor Sejong chased him to Beisu and met with the crown prince of the previous dynasty.

In fact, the two are old friends, and they are partners who grew up together, but the world is in chaos, the situation is pressing, and they are mortal enemies when they see each other again.

The two talked secretly for a long time, and no one knew the specific content of this conversation, only that the former prince later killed himself at the foot of Nangui Mountain, and General Lee, who was loyal to the lord on the way to escape, took refuge in Emperor Sejong and followed him to the east.

Emperor Sejong recruited talents and trusted Li Yuan extremely much, and even let him guard in front of his dormitory at night, which made many people remind him that such an arrangement was inappropriate, and if Li Yuan took advantage of the night to try to disadvantage him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Emperor Sejong was unmoved, in fact, he wanted to use this kind of over-standard treatment to show his trust and importance to Li Yuan.

However, Li Yuan failed to live up to Emperor Sejong's trust, and when he marched to Luojing, he defected!

Emperor Sejong was furious about this and ordered Li Yuan and his three clans to be hunted down for treason.

Due to the war, only the youngest son left in Li Yuan's direct family who followed him all the way.

However, the court searched and arrested Li Yuan and his young son, but there was no whereabouts of Li Yuan and his young son.

When Li Han heard this, he blurted out, "So you mean, I'm a descendant of General Li Yuan?" ”

Ding Ming's eyes were heavy and silent.

Only Chen Ji's sigh could be heard in the room. He raised his eyes to look at Li Han, shook his head, and said lovingly: "Han girl, I know that you came to Chen Yuan for your life experience. Hey, I thought that if you asked, no matter what you thought, I would agree with your guess. But now that such a thing has come out, you should also know the truth. ”

He took another deep breath and looked at Qingxi even more unbearably: "And you, Heng'er, we shouldn't hide it from you forever." ”

Qingxi frowned sharply between his eyebrows, extremely puzzled.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the house, and Qingxi was startled, watching Grandma walk in in a hurry.

Yang said as he walked: "Does it have to be like this? ”

Chen Ji stepped forward, stretched out his hand to take her hand, led her to sit down, and said earnestly: "The children are older, they should know." They should know where they came from and decide where they want to go in the future. And you know, Heng'er is a must know. Over the years, we have always tried to find the right time to put it off again and again, but after all, we are too old to survive, and now is the best time. ”

Yang Shi was uneasy, but after all, when he saw Qingxi's slightly blank gaze, he hid all his concerns.

Chen Ji spoke slowly again: "General Li and his young son Li Lin hid in the mountains and forests around Guanzhong, and died of illness after three years. Li Lin gradually grew up, and the four seas were his home. Later, he married a wife and gave birth to a daughter. Just when his daughter fell to the ground, his identity was discovered by the imperial court. In order not to drag down his family, he arranged his wife and daughter to fall off a cliff and commit suicide. The court couldn't find him, and the clues to contact him were cut off, and the matter was closed. Chen Ji paused, his eyes were full of emotion, he looked at Qingxi softly, and said, "And his only daughter is you, Heng'er." ”

Except for Yang, everyone looked shocked.

Qingxi subconsciously stepped forward and took two steps, opened his mouth wide, but his throat couldn't make a sound.

old

He nodded reassuringly.

Following the development of this story, Li Han thought that Li Lindi's daughter would be herself, but the story turned around and there was a more surprising result.

She looked sideways at Qingxi, and then hurriedly looked at Ding Ming, as if asking if you know?

Ding Ming immediately understood her eyes and shook his head slightly.

Although he and Jiang Lian were the landlords of the eastern and western regions, and they also knew about General Li Yuan, in fact, they knew more, but they didn't know anything about Qingxi's background. They all thought that she was a descendant of the Chen family, and the old lady of the Chen family, Chen Ji, was their most respected elder and pillar, only the Chen family was qualified to show them the dragon and phoenix match, and the safety of the Chen family girl was also their responsibility.

Chen Ji's eyes moved to Jiang Lian and Ding Ming: "You two are still young, and your father has not yet made it clear to you, maybe you only know the middle of the Li family, and you have the responsibility to protect the descendants of the Li family, but after so many years, who is this really protecting?" ”

Ding Ming and Jiang Lian's expressions were solemn. They do have this doubt.

When Jiang Lian's father died, he didn't have time to tell him everything.

And Ding Ming's father sometimes said two sentences, but he didn't say it in detail, Ding Ming pondered it himself, and indeed regarded Li Han as Li Lin's daughter, especially when Li Han told him that he was looking for a jade pendant, but when he rushed back to the mountains to ask his father, Ding's father showed embarrassment, but he also resolutely denied it. He repeatedly asked his father, "Then why did you want me to protect her?" ”

Father Ding sighed and only said, "Let's just owe her the Ding family." ”

Chen Ji's words pulled Ding Ming's thoughts back.

He said categorically: "That's right, the only bloodline of the Li family you want to protect is Heng'er. ”

"No!" Qingxi exclaimed in surprise and said, "Ah Gong, why do you want to say that? Su Jiang knows that when his mother gave birth, it hurt for a whole day, and the experienced stable wife of the entire Su Jiang came. That's how I was born. Is this a fake? Grandpa, don't say that! ”

Qingxi looked very excited, and Yang couldn't help but step forward and hugged him, and said in a dumb voice: "Heng'er, you are my granddaughter, your father's daughter, and Lizhi's sister, this will not change, it will never change." ”

Chen Ji looked directly into her eyes and continued: "Afu did give birth to a baby girl that day, but the child was short-lived and went before the full moon. Chen Ji's eyes showed sadness, paused slightly, and then spoke again: "And it happened that at that time, you were sent to the Chen family in infancy. So, that's the best arrangement. ”

"No...... No......" Qingxi shook his head and muttered, as if he couldn't accept it. She asked softly, "What about my brother?" My brother always said that he watched me be born, how could he not know? ”

"I was just over two years old at the time, so how could I recognize the baby's face clearly?"

"And what about Daddy?"

"Your father and mother know, but they don't know that your father is Li Lin, a wanted criminal by the imperial court. I told them that you were an orphan daughter of my mother's family. But they have poured the same amount of effort and love into you as all parents in the world. ”

Chen Ji's voice became solemn: "Heng'er, I know that it is indeed not easy for you to accept this matter for a while. But as your grandma said, we are a family, and this will not change. ”

Qingxi's heart was beating suddenly, but he felt the slightly trembling body of the Yang family holding him.

She was suddenly stunned, hurriedly supported Yang, looked down at her full of worry, blood suddenly surged, and choked up: "It's Heng'er who is not good, and Grandma shouldn't be worried." ”

Yang shook his head hurriedly and stroked her back.

Qingxi took a deep breath, helped Yang to sit down, looked at Chen Ji again, tried to stabilize himself, and asked in a voice that was no longer so trembling: "Ah Gong, you can continue." ”

Chen Ji nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes moved to Li Han.

"Girl, I think the reason why Ding Ming came to you should be a kind of compensation from his father."

Li Han frowned, and Ding Ming was even more confused.

Chen Ji's words continued: "Back then, Heng'er was escorted to Sujiang by Ding Ming's father and our northern principal. And in order to be sure, they found a baby girl in the Salesian Bureau in Luo Jing on the way back, and deliberately left a message to cover it up

Eyes and ears. Girl, that baby girl is you. ”.

Li Han's face was calm, as if he was not surprised.

She knew that the so-called information was the orphan daughter of the Li family, looking for a jade pendant.

"They watched Whitewater adopt you. I didn't know about this until many years later. You were ten years old when I found out. Although I don't agree with their approach, I am glad that you grew up safely and happily by Baishui's side and were protected by Changfeng. Today, I heard Ding Ming say so much, and I think the Ding family also uses this way to protect your safety. ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and only the sound of people's breathing could be heard.

Qingxi and Li Han glanced at each other in unison, and they both had thousands of complicated feelings.

This kind of opportunity between them is also rare in the world.

Qingxi's lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what words to use to accurately express her mind for a while, and only one sentence blurted out in her thoughts: "It seems that I owe you a lot." ”

Li Han became his own stand-in without knowing it, taking all the risks......

She didn't dare to think deeply.

Li Han smiled. She said heartily: "So that's the case." Actually, it's also good, I have become a young leader in the Salesian Bureau because of this, and I have gained a lot. ”

He looked at Ding Ming again and said jokingly, "I said, why do you keep following me?" I thought I wouldn't be able to get rid of you in my life. ”

"I really can't get rid of it!" Ding Ming's voice was deep and powerful.
