On the ninth day of the first month of winter, the sound of the sun is thin, the air is thin and cloudy, and the funeral is made by Yuan Mingde with a weekly ceremony!

The grass dragon rises in front of the wind, the Ming flag follows closely, the filial piety lamp points the way, the auspicious lamp drives away evil spirits, the release cage is Jing'an, the Ming Jing stands solemnly, the people in the city set up countless incense pavilions to cry in the court, the soul sedan chair is lifted, the paper bridge is placed behind, the band blows and blows, the relics lead the way in the middle, more than 100 monks chant the scriptures excessively, the golden boy and the jade girl hand in hand, the filial son Gao Hongyi holds the flag in front, Gao Wenlong holds the token, and the subordinate generals hold the mourning stick and rank behind, Li Zhong followed the white silk coffin, and the relatives and daughters followed each other and stretched for dozens of miles.

A great sorrow in the world, thousands of miles of dreams back!

Under the arrangement of Yuan Mingde's dedication, Gao Yuanhe finally settled in the ground on the 14th day after his death.

......

Li Xian was originally going to leave a few days ago, but because of Gao Yuanhe's funeral, he was left for a few more days.

Seeing that this year was about to end, and if he didn't leave, he would delay for a few more days, so Li Xian sent the gifts he had prepared for staying up late in the past few days to Gao Hongyi, but Gao Hongyi didn't look at it and returned it immediately.

Li Xian laughed at it, put the big gift in the study, and prepared to leave immediately, but he didn't expect to be stopped as soon as he went out.

The friend of the old general, the teacher of the current general Gao Hongyi, who dares to stop him?

It's not Gao Hongyi, it's Gao Yuanhe.

Li Zhong took a letter and handed it to him, Li Xian took it and saw that it was written by Gao Yuanhe himself a month ago! There are only a few words on it:

"Brother Leshan, the day before yesterday, carefully arranged and calculated the matter of Ma Tangfeng, for the brother has relatives, if the matter is defeated, the brother will not die in vain, if the brother can save his life, I hope that the brother will stay to help Yi'er.

Yi'er has great ambitions, and my brother is bound to be able to see one or two. It's just that he has too little experience when he is young after all, although he has big ambitions, most of them talk about it, which is unrealistic. But if the brother is willing to help, Yi'er's empty talk will turn into reality.

The younger brother knew that Yi'er was too young, and the elder brother was still Yi'er's teacher, so he went down to help him at a loss, and the elder brother had a lot of scruples. But the younger brother knows that the younger brother looks down on life for decades, and only wants peace of mind for the next life. However, there are many days in the past, but where is the next life? At this time, why don't you go out of the mountain to show your pride, and it will be in vain for this life!

Alas! ”

Li Xian put the letter away, pondered for a while, and said, "Take me to see Gao Hongyi!" ”

At that time, Gao Hongyi was discussing winter matters with everyone, and the city lord who was left behind by him missed his home, talking with relatives and relatives, all of them looked unhappy, obviously wanting to return home as soon as possible. But Gao Hongyi has always disagreed, he is waiting for someone to come over, and this person is Li Xian.

Li Xian came soon, as if the city lords didn't see it, they were still chatting with themselves, only Gao Hongyi stood up excitedly, but then sat down again, raised his eyes and looked at the city lords and said, "You guys go down first, there is something to talk about tomorrow." ”

Several city lords looked at Gao Hongyi in a daze, and walked out silently, and Li Zhong closed the door outside and stood guard at the door.

"Sir," Gao Hongyi stepped forward to greet him.

Li Xian helped Gao Hongyi up in a heavy manner, and looked at him carefully, his face was already childish, bringing more melancholy.

"Get up!" He sighed, he really didn't expect that his students had changed so much in such a long time, as if they had grown up all of a sudden, and they had become old for a while. But there was still momentum between his eyebrows, and Li Xian felt a little comforted.

"Sir, please be seated." Gao Hongyi said.

Li Xian waved his hand and handed the gift he had prepared in his hand to Gao Hongyi.

Gao Hongyi took it and took a look, he knew this gift, this should be a blank piece of paper that he asked Tu Su to give to Li Xian a few days ago, and he deliberately sent a blank piece of paper, the purpose was to tell Li Xian that everything he had in his hands was empty, and he needed him to write and draw on it to help him come up with ideas.

He was also worried that Li Xian wouldn't understand, so he deliberately said that this was something very important, just to wake him up.

Seeing this empty letter, he was a little puzzled, shouldn't there be a little bit on it?

"This is not the handwritten letter you gave me, I have already written a handwritten letter, and I was going to give it to you as a gift, but you didn't. However, it doesn't matter if you watch it or not. Li Xian said calmly, "Your careful thoughts, others may not be able to see them, but they have no effect on me, so don't use them in the future." ”

Gao Hongyi immediately bowed to him when he heard this, "Sir, the student knows that he is wrong. ”

"Hurry up, the dignified General of the Northern Protector will kneel down and bow down at will!" Li Xian blamed.

"How about getting Mr. to help, how about Hongyi kneeling a hundred times and a thousand times!" Gao Hongyi said and immediately bowed down again, "Father! ”

Li Xian didn't expect Gao Hongyi to call himself like this, and his originally calm heart seemed to be uncontrollable for a while: "Yi'er, hurry up, how can you call the teacher like this!" ”

"In ancient times, there was a book that respected Fan Zeng and called him his father, and now I have Gao Hongyi at the behest of my father to respect the teacher and call you the father, the father is above, please bow to the child!" Gao Hongyi said and bowed.

This time, Li Xian did not help him, but sat upright to accept this worship, he twisted his beard, and said: "I didn't expect Brother Yuan and Xian to leave you a letter, so that you can respect me as your father." ”

After Gao Hongyi bowed, Li Xian helped him up and said, "Yi'er, you can hear from my voice that I want to stay, and you have such an action, which shows that you are not only smart but also able to judge the situation!" Able to bend and stretch! What else can the teacher say when he has these points!

Your father was right when he said, 'The past days are many, but where are the next lives?' At this time, decisively go out of the mountain to show pride! It's really a word to wake up the person in the dream, thinking that I, Li Xian, have been studying hard for decades, just to find a master to serve his ambitions.

But decades have passed, the world is chaotic, and the people everywhere are not happy, let alone the masters, and even good officials are very few. Your father was one of the few good officials during this period, and he once tried to ask me to help, but I became a turtle with a shrunken head, but what? The heart is scattered! If it weren't for your father who saved me, I wouldn't want to be your husband.

Now that your father has passed away, and you are young for the sake of the Northern Protector General, I wanted to return to the mountains and forests for the rest of my life. But seeing your series of actions, think about myself, think about the world, think about this Li Min, I Li Xian can't bear it! ”

Gao Hongyi looked happy and stepped forward to hold Li Xian's hand. "Father, with your words today, the child will be relieved."

"Father, today you and I are two masters and apprentices, father and son, and they can be regarded as two close friends! Let's join hands and work together for that grand ambition to level the world! ”

Li Xian said with a smile: "Yi'er, it's easy to say in the world, but it's even more difficult to do. Now we need to take it one step at a time! ”

"And where do you take that first step?" Gao Hongyi asked.

"This first step is to start with Hecheng!"
