Li Hanlin, it is not our duty to talk about the prince in vain! "Li Qingmi, he is Li Heng's best friend, is the teacher of the king of Guangping, it is beyond reproach to say this, but he should not say it so directly and frankly in front of himself, this is not what a reasonable person should do, sometimes a subtlety is more intriguing.

Li Qing gently picked up the tea bowl and let the time continue in silence for a moment, if Li Mi did not reply within this moment, then he would not hesitate to order his own soldiers to drag him out, no matter how famous this person was in history.

Li Mi is the same as Guo Ziyi in history, through the four generations of kings of the Tang Dynasty, Xuan, Su, Dai, and De, he can make the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven cry on his shoulder, or he can abandon the official and become a monk when he is a great minister, enjoy the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and was recalled to the court several times when the Tang Dynasty was in danger, and entered the Qing Dynasty to worship the prime minister, and tried his best to save the Tang Dynasty from fire and water.

This time Li Mi came prepared, he was not intimidated by the other party's indifferent attitude, from Li Qing and Li Li's several conversations, Li Mi has slowly touched Li Qing's attempt, this is an extremely clear road map, from Li Heng to Li Li, although Li Qing has several ups and downs in the court, although almost everyone thinks that Li Qing has given up his support for the East Palace, even including Li Heng himself, but Li Mi still has a unique insight to see that Li Qing has never given up his support for Li Heng's father and son, The tacit understanding between him and Gao Lishi also surprised Li Yu, and Li Li was gradually reused, so that he began to realize that Li Qing's efforts were becoming successful step by step.

Although Li Cong's recent strong performance seems to have a tendency to become the crown prince, Li Mi has always believed that on such a principled issue as the succession to the throne, Li Longji will not be so hasty and will put Li Cong, who has a bad record, on the throne, which is very likely to be a plan for rights and interests, and no one can understand the emperor's thoughts.

In the face of Li Qing's rebuke, Li Mi did not panic, he smiled slightly and said: "The general doesn't need to be angry, although I came here today is a little presumptuous." But I am also thoughtful, please believe in my sincerity and vision, if I were a reckless person, the general shot the prince with an arrow, I would have already taken the head. ”

Li Qing stared at him coldly and didn't say a word. Li Mi gradually began to feel a trace of apprehension in his heart, Li Qing helped Li Heng escape with bitter meat tricks, this matter is extremely secret, it has always been a headless public case, he also deduced it from various signs, after many years, he inadvertently shook out, if Li Qing regarded it as a threat. It is very likely to kill people, and Li Mi also feels that he has lost his words.

For a long time, Li Qing still didn't speak. The atmosphere was so suppressed that it almost exploded, and Li Mi had even felt the murderous aura faintly emanating from the side of the tent, and thin beads of sweat began to ooze from the tip of his nose.

Suddenly, Li Qing smiled and made a gesture of please, "Sir, please use tea!" ”

As soon as the ground was relaxed, the tense atmosphere in the air was suddenly relieved, and Li Mi picked up the tea bowl, his hands trembling slightly. With a cold back and sweat soaking through his underwear, he suddenly understood that Li Qing had unconsciously turned against the guest and mastered the dominant discourse.

'What a great means. He sighed secretly, and only sipped his tea silently.

He knew that although Li Qing intended to support Li Jiao, Li Jiao's Anxi Xuanfu envoy was in conflict with Li Qing's Anxi capital protector in terms of function, especially Li Jiao, who was obviously used by Li Longji to spy on Li Qing. If you don't untie this knot in time, the two will have a conflict sooner or later, which is the real intention of his Li Mi's visit to Li Qingdi at night, but at this time, the right to speak has been taken away by Li Qing, and it is inconvenient for him to say it directly, just wait for the opportunity and slowly guide Li Qing.

"Mr. is here, do you know the little prince?" Now that the two sides have spoken thoroughly, Li Qing no longer hides it, in fact, he also hopes that there is someone who can see through the situation to remind him on the side. For example, this plan to seek Hexi had an unexpected ending, which was beyond his expectations.

In the matter of An Lushan, if someone could remind him, he would not directly persuade Li Longji to use such drastic means as killing An Lushan, but persuaded him to put An Lushan under house arrest, maybe Li Longji would accept it, and An Lushan would not escape calmly.

Since dealing with Gao Shang, he also hopes that he also has a staff member like Gao Shang by his side, who can help him gain insight into opportunities and make no mistakes, and Zhang Ji is okay with him in charge of paperwork and participates in the planning of military affairs, he can't do it, Yan Qing is his new staff member and can discuss major matters, but he has been sent to Hedong to observe An Lushan's movements, and he can't help in this regard.

And since this Li Mi in front of him can see through his cold shooting of Li Heng, and last time he saw that he had the intention of plotting Hexi, it shows that this person is indeed worthy of his reputation and can be used for his own use, but the relationship between him and Li Heng's father and son makes Li Qing have to be cautious.

He groaned for a moment, and then said frankly: "I mean, is the gentleman coming on behalf of the little prince?" ”

Li Yu didn't know the intention of Li Qing's words, he hesitated for a while, he didn't discuss with Li Li in advance tonight, on the one hand, he was Li Li's teacher, Li Li obeyed him, and it was okay not to tell him, on the other hand, he didn't want Li Li to get involved in the power struggle in the court too early, and he didn't want the power struggle to change his benevolent, filial piety and courtesy.

He owed a debt and replied truthfully: "Don't hide it from the general, I came tonight, the little prince doesn't know, and there are some things I don't want to tell too much." ”

"That's good, I also agree with Mr. What I think, the reason why I decided to assist the King of Guangping, this has nothing to do with my birth in the East Palace, I fancy him for his generosity and filial piety and can judge major things, this is the foundation of the benevolent monarch and Ming Jun, Mr. is the teacher of the King of Guangping, and should teach him to explore the suffering of the people, and have the ambition of thousands of miles."

Speaking of this, Li Qing raised his eyes, stared at Li Mi with blazing eyes, and said: "As for the battle in the court and the matter of putting him on the throne, it will be up to us to do it, let us work together in the same boat and raise great things together, Mr. thinks this is good?" ”

Although Li Qing said it implicitly, Li Mi already understood a little that Li Qing was trying to win him over! He smiled slightly, raised his right palm and said, "If the general believes in Li Yu's sincerity, we can high-five us!" ”

Li Qing was overjoyed, and also raised his right palm to hit him hard, the two looked at each other, and the joy was overflowing, and they couldn't help laughing.

The next day, Li Qing appointed Li Mi as the judge of the Anxi Jiedu Mansion, and at the same time appointed Zhang Ji as the secretary of the Anxi Jiedu Mansion

The first batch of immigrants from the Western Regions finally arrived in Qiuci, and Li Qing ordered Xi Yuanqing to lead the young and strong people who emigrated to go to the broken leaves to build houses and measure the land, and the rest of the old and young women and children were left in Qiuci to recuperate. Wait for the beginning of spring and then go to Crushed Leaf with the next group of immigrants.

After Li Qing returned to Qiuzi, he was busy dealing with the backlog of documents and reorganizing the army. Miscellaneous and cumbersome things made him have no time to go out on patrol, and unconsciously the spring flowers bloomed, the snow-capped mountains melted, bringing abundant water sources, and the land of the Western Regions was full of greenery, presenting a vibrant scene.

On the evening of this day, Li Qing returned home from the official office. The afterglow of the setting sun lazily shone on the stone lion, painting it with a layer of gold, and everything was as peaceful and serene as usual.

Suddenly. Li Qing noticed something unusual, dozens of horses were tied to the wooden stakes next to the gate, and the horses looked tired and were quietly eating forage. Directly opposite them was a horse-drawn carriage, a fiery red carriage, as if a flame was burning in the setting sun. Li Qing's heart jumped suddenly. What he didn't want to think about, and what he couldn't face, crept up at his most unguarded moment. Of course, he knew this carriage, which came from the stone country that worshiped fire, and was the queen of the stone country, Luo Landi.

However, there was a faint expectation in his heart, he wanted to see what kind of effect it would be for Li Jingyan to stand with her at the same time, one was an oriental woman who was extremely elegant, subtle, deep, delicate and delicate. Like a piece of warm and flawless white jade. The other is the glamorous and unparalleled bearded girl of the Western Regions, her passionate, unrestrained, and unreserved dedication is like a brilliant jewel, radiant.

"When did she come to Land?" Li Qing pointed to the carriage and asked a soldier guarding the door.

"Report to the general, it's been almost two hours."

Two hours, which is between women, means that everything has been transparent. There was no need for him to make any more superfluous explanations, at this time, Li Qing suddenly had a consciousness in his heart, I am afraid that the curtain has already known all this, so he asked Li Jingyan to come to the Western Regions with him.

He didn't have time to think about it, threw the reins to his own soldiers, and walked into the door with a hard step, Li Qingdi's mansion was originally the deputy palace of King Qiuzi, the gate was high and wide, the golden wall was brilliant, and the whole mansion was paved with bluestone of one color. The layout is square and wide, the courtyard is deep, and there is a high observation tower on the westernmost side of the courtyard, which overlooks the whole city, in a typical Persian style.

The house was very quiet, as if nothing had happened, Li Qing walked through the atrium to the backyard, vaguely seemed to hear the woman's laughter, and walked through a small door wrapped in thick green branches, Li Jingyan and Luo Lan's two daughters appeared in front of him:

The two of them are holding hands, standing intimately under an apricot tree, above their heads are a large snow-white, fragrant flowers, under the rendering of the afterglow, the air under the tree is wafting with purple soft light, reflecting the two of them into a dreamlike beauty, one is wearing a wide white silk skirt, her body is not stained with a little fireworks, her eyes are hazy and soft, and the corners of her mouth have a faint smile, like a fairy who has descended from a fairyland; The other was wearing a thin-waisted purple robe skirt trimmed with gold, and her blue eyes were full of fire-like enthusiasm, but she was like an elf floating from the Western Divine Domain.

"You guys. . . The sea jumped out irrepressibly, yes, anyone who saw their intimate scene would have the same idea as Li Qing, they were like old friends reunited.

"Li Qing, I really didn't expect that even the county lord of Pingyang is yours. Her eyes suddenly dimmed, she and Li Qing have been separated for half a year, and her thoughts about him are like a spring silkworm that has fallen into the heart, frantically biting her every day all the time, at this moment she just wants Li Qing to hold her and fly under the apricot tree, so that happiness will completely melt her.

However, the corner of her eyes glanced at Li Jingyan slightly, and the unique reserve of women made her passion fade quickly, and she suddenly realized that Li Qing did not belong to her alone, and that she was far away, and the disappointment began to spread in Luo Lan's heart, like an old tree after being struck by lightning, scorched and lifeless.

"Li Lang, Luo Lan is my old acquaintance." Li Jingyan stepped forward, grabbed her arm lightly, and looked at Li Qingdao with a smile: "When she was a little Hu Niang, I met her in Chang'an, and I lived with me for several months. ”

She specially bit the word 'fate' very hard. Then she whispered a few words in Luo Lan's ear, turned around and floated away, and walked to the door, she looked back and smiled, her eyes flowed, making Li Qing happy and worried, happy that this matter seemed to have loosened, and worry about how to arrange it tonight.

"How do you know I'm back?"

Li Qing's voice just fell. Luo Lan could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. She threw herself into Li Qing's arms, pinched his broad back desperately, and stared at him tightly with her face up, as if telling him what she missed in her heart.

Li Qing gently stroked her face, lowered his head and sucked on the tip of her nose, and said pityingly: "You have lost weight!" ”

Luo Lan slowly pressed his face against his chest. Tears finally poured out uncontrollably, strings of crystal tears slid across her face and tumbled down into the grass.

"Lee

Night. Li Qing slept alone, but he couldn't sleep, he turned over and got out of bed, and slowly walked to the yard. The courtyard was quiet, and unknown insects were singing in the corner, and a bright moon was in the sky. From time to time, black clouds drift under the moon like veil mist. The light was bright and dark, and his mood at this time was like the moonlight, and there was always a shadow lingering. This is Luo Lan's current identity, Li Qing doesn't care about marrying her, he can feel her deep love for him, but she is the queen of Shiguo, if she marries her, it will inevitably cause a big wave in the court, and the charges of dissenting will inevitably be confirmed, after all, he has been in charge of the Anxi Army for a short time, and the Anxi Army is not his private army. It's not a big problem though, and time will solve it.

But what really worries Li Qing is the national contradictions, she wants to immigrate in large numbers in the Western Regions, starting from Shiguo, and gradually sinicizing the nine surnamed countries of Zhaowu one by one, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the indigenous Turks, and where will she go as the king of Shiguo?

Li Qing looked up at Haoyue and fell into deep thought. At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, followed by a thick robe

On his body, he doesn't need to think about Li Qing to know that this is Li Jingyan coming. Hand, her hand was warm and delicate, Li Qing turned her head and smiled, pulled her to his side, Li Jingyan sat down next to him, and also looked up at a round of bright full moon silently.

"Did she sleep?" Li Qingxiang asked casually.

Li Jingyan nodded, "She came from afar, and she was too tired." ”

Immediately the two were silent again, Li Qing glanced at the beautiful woman beside him, only to see her staring intently at the full moon in the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.

He gently held her hand, but her face sank slightly, and she stubbornly struggled hard, as if she was about to withdraw her hand, but Li Qing instead held her hand tighter, and crossed it with her fingers, stalemate for a moment, Li Jingyan suddenly sighed lowly, let go of her hand, gave up resistance, and gently snuggled her head on his shoulder.

Li Qing sniffed the faint fragrance on her body, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about the first time we came to Kuzi, that night, it was also a full moon, and we walked the streets holding hands, just the two of us, what a nostalgic feeling!" Li Jingyan seemed to be muttering to himself like a dream, and her deep eyes were floating with nostalgia for the past.

Li Qing suddenly had a thought, he grabbed Li Jingyan's wrist and said in a low voice: "Follow me!" ”

"Li Lang! You. nodded, and pulled Li Jingyan to sneak out of the back door.

There was a thin layer of fog on the street, and it was very quiet, and occasionally a few pedestrians could be seen hurrying along the corners, and even more attentively knocking on the bangs, and the patrolling soldiers marched through the streets, and soon disappeared into the darkness, and it was already a moment, and most of the shops were closed, but a few liquor stores still let out a few faint rays of light through the cracks in the doors.

Li Qing and Li Jingyan held hands and walked slowly along the street, the wind was blowing, and they didn't feel the slightest chill, they looked at each other from time to time, and each other's eyes were full of joy and love.

There was a stall selling beef soup on the street, and the stall was an old Turkic man in his seventies, who was about to close the stall and go home after his last business.

"Hungry?" Li Qing pointed to the stall and smiled.

Li Jingyan shook his head, then nodded again, Li Qing smiled slightly, stepped forward and called: "Old man, are you still doing business?" ”

The old man slowly glanced up at the young man, a gentle smile flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he said slowly, "There is a deal, and there is always a land." ”

He unloaded the table and chairs from the carriage again, Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help, and lifted the big pot of beef soup down, patted the jar and said with a smile: "Old man, come to two bowls of beef soup, I want the original flavor." ”

After speaking, he pulled Li Jingyan to sit down, looked at the busy old man, and smiled: "Seeing this scene, I think of the sale of popsicles in Yilong ten years ago." ”

There were only the two of them, Li Jingyan became lively, she gently pinched Li Qing's nose, pursed her lips and smiled: "I still remember you, the little shopkeeper with only thirty yuan." ”

Looking at her charming and infinitely pretty face, Li Qing's heart fluttered, and he hugged her waist and smiled evilly: "What about now?" ”

Li Jingyan glanced at him, sighed helplessly, and said in a long voice: "Now?" It's still the shopkeeper, but it's my shopkeeper's place. ”

Li Jingyan suddenly became emotional, raised her head and kissed Li Qing's face, her eyes were like silk, and her voice became coquettish and coquettish: "Now, you are my husband!" ”

Li Qing's index finger moved, and he whispered in her ear: "Later, let's go to that old shop, which is where we first came to Qiuzi to live." ”

Li Jingyan nodded shyly.

At this time, the old man brought two bowls of hot beef soup and said with a smile: "The little couple came out so late, come!" Warm up with some soup. ”

In just a moment, Li Qing drank a bowl of soup to the bottom, and Li Jingyan took a small spoon and drank only a few sips, then pushed the bowl and said with a smile: "I'm okay too." ”

"Then let's go!" Li Qing casually touched his arms, and suddenly, 'Ah! Then I remembered that I had forgotten to bring money.

Li Jingyan smiled, plucked a golden hairpin from his head, gently put it on the table, pulled Li Qing and left the stall, for a long time, a sigh faintly came from the stall, "A rare pair of jade people!" ”.

The shop is still the old shop, even the black paint peeling signboard in front of the door has not been changed, the shopkeeper is still white and fat, although it is late at night to stay, but for the sake of a thumb-sized pearl, he did not ask a word, and took them into the best courtyard.

"Guest, you're lucky, the room you want happens to be empty, and I just cleaned it up in the afternoon."

He handed the lantern in his hand to Li Qingdao: "If you need anything, just come to me, the two of you rest, I won't bother!" ”

After speaking, he closed the door and left, Li Jingyan stroked the old and yellowed furniture, and sighed in her heart, it was this room, she used to live in it back then, as if it was just yesterday, but six years have passed in a flash.

"Li Lang, you're still sleeping outside tonight!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she just listened to 'poof! As soon as the ground sounded, it was pitch black in front of her, her Lang Jun had already blown out the lantern impatiently, hugged her waist, laughed twice, lowered his head and kissed her, Li Jingyan closed his eyes, greeted each other tactfully, kissed his lips tightly together, and let his wolf claws reach into his clothes to be wanton and thin.

Gradually, Li Jingyan's body bowed up, she was hot, and she panted and whispered: "Hug me!" ’

Li Qing picked up the crook of her legs, picked her up horizontally, bit her belt with his teeth, the gauze fell off, Li Jingyan's plump undulating body was exposed, Li Qing caressed her body with his cheeks, although he had been married for many years, Li Qing was still amazed by her delicate and elastic skin, he couldn't help but be fascinated, opened his mouth to hold her breasts, and walked quickly to the back room.
