The snow in Chang'an fell twice in a row.

The heavy snow stopped at night, and the next morning, the snow was thick enough to submerge the calves.

As soon as the snow cleared, every household began to clear the snow.

On this morning, Chang He, the guard of Xuanwu Gate, finally handed over his work and could rest for a day or two.

However, after the handover, Chang He was not in a hurry to return home, but walked around the west of Chang'an City for half an hour, bought a large carriage of things, and then took the carriage around into an alley in the west of the city.

The alley was very deep, the snow was very thick, and a few sparrows were chirping under the eaves, and after seeing Chang He, they spread their wings and flew away.

The carriage walked down the alley for a long time, and when it came to the end, it stopped in front of a house, and the snow in front of the house had not been cleared, and some footprints were scattered and scattered.

However, Chang He didn't care about this, he flew down from the carriage, picked up the things in the carriage and entered the small courtyard.

"Linglong, look what I bought for you and my son......"

Linglong used to be a dusty woman, Chang He once went to the Qinglou and fell in love with her at first sight, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to redeem her from the Qinglou.

Later, he rented a house here to settle Linglong.

After the two lived here, it didn't take long for Linglong to get pregnant, and a month ago, she just gave birth to a big fat boy for him.

Chang He has an original wife in the house, but his original wife is a little tough, and he failed to give birth to a son, so for Linglong and his little son, Chang He can be said to like it tightly.

After each shift, this is the place to come first.

He also thought about taking their mother and daughter back, but when he thought of the tigress at home, he dispelled this idea.

Chang He walked in in a hurry, but this time he didn't usher in Linglong's excited laughter, or his son's crying.

He only saw a man standing in the courtyard with his back to him.

The man was on the thin side, and when he saw it, his brows condensed slightly, and then he felt that this figure was a little familiar.

"Who are you?" Responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate all the year round, Chang He's vigilance is still very heavy, he didn't see Linglong, but he saw such a man with his back to him, it was strange that he was not nervous and worried.

And just after Chang He snorted, the man slowly turned around, and at this time, Chang He found that this person still had a beard, and this person himself was really familiar.

"You...... How did you end up here? ”

"General Chang, don't come unharmed."

The man standing was Li Ji, he had a spring smile on his face, as if he was not a little threatening, but when he said this, Chang He suddenly held the knife on his waist.

No one else knows about this place, not even his personal servant, but Li Ji knows, and he is here, there is a problem.

"Why are you here?" Chang He looked at Li Ji, with a killing intent in his eyes, as long as there was nothing wrong, he would go out at any time, even if the person in front of him was the British Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ji still stood calmly, as if he didn't feel that he was in danger at all.

"General Chang doesn't need to be so nervous, you can rest assured, Linglong and your son are safe and sound, I just want to tell General Chang one thing."

didn't talk much, but he had already sent some signals to Chang He, that is, he and his son were fine, but they were likely to have an accident immediately, and the key depended on Chang He's attitude.

Chang He's eyes were round, he was already very imposing, but now he became more and more imposing, as if he might explode at any time.

He looked at Li Ji, and after a long time, he let go of the hand holding the hilt of the knife and said, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

Chang He is a smart man, he knows very well the state of Linglong and his son, and if he wants them to live, he can only stand still.

After Li Ji saw this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "General Chang is the prince's person, right?" ”

"Yes, the prince has the grace of knowing me." When Chang He was a small soldier, he followed Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng saw that he was very good at fighting, so he gave him more support, and in this way, he became the guard of Xuanwu Gate.

These things are a little secret, he is the person Li Jiancheng planted in the palace, and Li Yuan doesn't even know about it.

But in the face of Li Ji, he knew that he couldn't hide it.

Li Ji nodded: "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin are fighting fiercely, has General Chang considered joining His Royal Highness the King of Qin?" ”

Hearing this, Chang He's eyebrows condensed slightly, Li Jiancheng has the grace of knowing him, how can he betray Li Jiancheng?

But after seeing Li Ji's calm expression, he suddenly thought of Linglong and his son, who was his only son.

Chang He was very entangled, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Ji was not in a hurry, and continued: "In comparison, His Royal Highness the King of Qin treats people more leniently, if you are willing to take refuge in His Royal Highness the King of Qin, after His Royal Highness the King of Qin ascends the throne, you will definitely have your benefits, you are now just a small Xuanwu Gate guard, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin can promise you a marquis." ”

When he heard the marquis, Chang He's eyes suddenly moved, title, this is something that anyone dreams of, something that can be left to his children and grandchildren.

Now that he has a son, then his son will also have a knighthood in the future.

To be honest, Chang He was moved.

In comparison, he stood on the Xuanwu Gate every day and was responsible for defense, which really made him feel very aggrieved, he also had the heart to make meritorious contributions, and he also wanted to be a marquis, why should he be a gatekeeper?

But Li Jiancheng only let him guard the door.

Of course, what makes Chang He feel that he has no choice is Linglong and his son, he loves Linglong too much, and he likes his son too much, in his life, he just wants to live for his son and leave something for him.

But in the current situation, if he doesn't agree, Linglong and his son will not survive.

Chang He didn't speak, although he was already moved, after all, he couldn't accept the betrayal of the prince.

"In the world of life, you have to work hard to make a career and achievements in order to be worthy of this life, and many times, a choice may change your life, if you are willing to take refuge in His Royal Highness King Qin, your son will also leave him a marquis out, but if you refuse to take refuge, not to mention Linglong and your son, even you, I am afraid you will not survive today."

Li Ji is both soft and hard, but what he said is indeed the truth, there are some things, since Chang He knows, then he is not safe, a person knows too much, he will become a target.

Say yes or die.

The snow in the courtyard was very thick, and when a sparrow flew away from the branches, it shook off the snow on the ground, Chang He's eyes were solemn, and after a long time, he finally nodded: "What does the prince want me to do?" ”
