Ten years have passed, and the white horse has passed through the gap.

It has been nearly a decade since I last saw Li Ji.

A lot has happened in ten years. In Li Ji's eyes, Yanqing is no longer the boy with a hanging bun; In Yan Qing's eyes, Li Ji is not only his enlightenment teacher, but also has more identity: father.

Li Yanqing is not a child, so it is impossible to say the word 'father' casually.

Even in his heart, Li Ji is the most cordial elder besides Zheng Shi'an, and he will not change his words easily.

Therefore, when the word 'dad' came to his mouth, it still became the title of the teacher. Leeki looks much older than he did a decade ago.

There are many wrinkles on the face, and the sideburns are also full of hair.

The body is still clear, and the posture is the same as back then. He was dressed in a long linen robe covered with a brocade cloak. At first hearing Yan Qing's title, his cheeks couldn't help twitching, he took two steps forward, but stopped again, regained his composure, and smiled slightly.

"I haven't seen you for ten years, Goose Boy, I've become crazy."

Li Ji seems to be whispering, but it is full of many deep emotions.

Li Yanqing motioned for Mao Xiaonian to step back and personally serve tea.

"Teacher, have you always been good?"

Li Ji nodded, and pointed to the old man sitting next to him with his hand, "Yanqing, do you still recognize Mr. Wang?" ”

Yan Qing turned his head to look at the old man, and there was confusion in his eyes. It's still very familiar, but I really can't remember when I saw it.

The old man couldn't help laughing, "Childe, do you still remember ten years ago, Anyuan Sacrifice Stove?" ”

"Ahh

Li Yanqing suddenly realized and pointed at the old man, "You are Mr. Wang Jingwen?" ”

"Exactly."

Wang Jingwen, whose real name is Wang Gong, is the second son of Wang Shengbi. During the Renshou period, he was originally the Han King Yang Liang joined the army, and before Yang Jian died, he had planned for the Han King. According to Yang Liang's plan, Shandong Shima was the key to his usurpation of the throne. So he sent Wang Jun under the pseudonym Wang Jingwen to Xingyang together with Cao Pei'an, a soldier of the Han Dynasty's palace. If you don't think about it, if it doesn't work out, you will be seen as flawed. Li Yanqing killed Pei An, and Wang Yan was imprisoned by Zheng Dashi, the patriarch of An Yuantang at the time.

After Zheng Dashi's death, Zheng Shi'an found Wang Gong still in captivity and mentioned the matter to Yan Qing.

Wang Fei is indeed a hot potato, which is difficult to place. So Yan Qing suggested that Wang Ji be sent to Li Ji, and he didn't ask again.

Speaking of which, Yan Qing hasn't seen Wang Yan for ten years!

So at first glance, he was a little familiar. But when Wang Jun mentioned the events of that year, he immediately remembered it.

It seems that the teacher has already subdued Wang Fei?

Yan Qing was puzzled, and stepped forward to greet Wang Jun again. Only then did Wang Fei introduce him to the man next to him, who was Wang Fei's son, named Wang Gui, and his cousin Shujie. Ten years ago, he was also very famous, and he was a literary and elegant celebrity at that time. However, he was implicated by Wang Cheng, and after Yang Liang's army was defeated, Wang Gui fled into the Zhongnan Mountain, and hid for eight years. It wasn't until two years ago, after the Li family in Longxi accepted Li Yuan's branch, that Wang Cheng got in touch with Wang Gui, and under Wang Yong's recommendation, Wang Gui was introduced to Li Ji.

Wang Gui is a person with a straightforward surname and advocating Confucian loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and courtesy.

However, due to the involvement of the Han King at the beginning, he did not have any good feelings for the Sui family.

Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted, and Wang Gui also behaved extremely politely.

After the two sides sat down, Li Yanqing asked, "Teacher, where are you from?" Where are you going? ”

Li Jiqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pretended to be calm: "I'm from Longxi...... Originally, he should have arrived two months ago, but Yang Xuan felt troubled, so the road in Guanzhong was closed, and it was not officially opened until a month ago. I didn't expect to hear about you as soon as I got out of the customs.

Yanqing, can you accompany me to offer incense in front of Zheng Gong's grave? ”

"Ah, that's right."

Li Yanqing hurriedly got up and walked out of the thatched house with Li Ji. Wang Fei and Wang Gui, father and son, did not move, but stayed in the thatched house.

"Dad, I heard that this little boy seems to be quite loyal to the Yang family."

"He is loyal to the Yang family, but unfortunately the Yang family may not be able to use him. Shusuke, have you thought about it? Do you go to Taiyuan with Li Gong, or stay here with me? ”

Wang Gui hesitated a little, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I still want to go to Taiyuan." ”

"Why, you don't want to stay?"

"I can't say that I don't want to, I just want to go to Taiyuan and take a look more, maybe there will be other gains."

Wang Yan smiled and nodded, "Since you already have an opinion, then it's up to you to decide." However, the situation in Taiyuan may not be better than here. Although Tang Guogong said that his status was prominent, he may not really believe in him in the imperial court. After you go to Taiyuan, you have to be more careful...... Tang Guogong is not the king of Han, your stubborn surname must also be restrained. Don't do things by your last name. ”

Wang Gui said: "The children remember their father's teachings. ”

His father and son were talking in the thatched house, and Li Yanqing and Li Ji also came to Zheng Shi'an's grave.

Mao Xiaonian and Shen Guang followed and offered incense and candle offerings to Li Ji, Li Ji stepped forward to salute, and then stood silently in front of the grave.

Yan Qing could see that Li Ji seemed to have something to say.

"Old Shen, you and Xiao Nian should go back...... Just let the four eyes and the thin waist stay. Go back and help me tell Da Heizi and Ah Ling to go back to the city and buy some food and drinks. ”

Shen Guang and Mao Xiaonian agreed, bowed and retreated.

Li Ji stood in front of the grave and listened quietly.

He also had to sigh that the child had indeed grown up and already knew how to probe the minds of others.

Li Yanqing stood behind Li Ji and was silent.

For a long time, Li Ji suddenly turned around, with a miserable smile on his face, "Yanqing, you know everything, don't you?" ”

In front of Li Ji, Yan Qing felt very restrained for the first time.

He hesitated, slowly reached into his arms, and then stretched out, spreading his palms.

One side of the long-life lock was quietly spread out in Yanqing's hand. After Li Yanqing learned of his life experience, he imagined more than once the scene of meeting Li Ji. But he never expected that he would recognize Li Ji under such circumstances. A loved one is gone, another is coming. It sounds like a very heartwarming thing, but in fact, it is so cruel...... Li Yanqing raised his head and stared at Li Ji.

Strange to say, he was not the slightest bit excited, let alone joyful.

And after Li Ji saw the longevity lock on that side, he was really excited. Tears glistened in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and picked up the longevity lock.

"Words and deeds, Qingyun Xiangfeng."

He flipped over the longevity lock and smiled miserably, "Ohno Lin'er......"

In the past, Li Yanqing had been wondering what the words 'Ono Lin'er meant'. Lin'er, as the name suggests, doesn't need to be discussed, but what is the meaning of this big field? Later, it wasn't until Yan Hu appeared and pointed out his origin that Yan Qing understood the meaning.

Li Yuan's grandfather, also known as his great-grandfather Li Hu, was one of the Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.

At that time, the Guanlong aristocratic metropolis was given the surname Hu. Li Hu's surname Hu is 'Daye', just like Yang Jian, he was also given the surname 'Jin Liuru'. Ohno is actually surnamed Hu, and it also represents Yanqing's origin. It's just that after Yang Jian usurped Zhou, in order to eliminate Huhua, most of the Guanlong nobles restored their Han surnames.

For example, Dou Wei, during the Northern Anniversary, was Sudou Lingwei.

After entering the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Dou Wei, and this title has been continued.

"Sixteen years ago, I received a letter from my brother that my sister-in-law was about to give birth in Wugong Mountain, but my brother was not by his side and asked me to take care of it.

Since my father's failure to assassinate Yang, thanks to my brother's care, my sister-in-law has also treated me very well. Therefore, after I got the news, I immediately rushed to Guanzhong. Before leaving, I asked someone to make this longevity lock and gave it to my child who had just completed the moon. I thought I would be able to meet again soon, but I didn't want to be separated forever from then on. As soon as I arrived at Wugong Mountain, I heard that Yanjia Village was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court...... More than 100 people were slaughtered.

I wanted to rush back, but my sister-in-law stopped me. She said, the wind is very tight, even if I go back, I will be sent to death. Rather than die in vain, it is better to leave a useful body to take revenge...... It's just that I didn't expect that this kind of wait would be sixteen years. ”

Li Ji said in a trembling voice, but he still seemed calm.

After being reborn, many things have been forgotten...... But the tragic battle that night, he still remembers it vividly.

Li Ji's words did not make him too impulsive. On the contrary, because he had been prepared, he heard some clues from Li Ji's words.

Could it be that Li Yuan also knows the actions of the imperial court?

Otherwise, why didn't you call it early and didn't call it late, but at that time, Li Ji was recalled to Guanzhong?

If Li Yuan had known about this earlier, why didn't he notify him in advance. Or let Lee Ki go with his wife and children?

This doubt is born and can no longer be stopped.

Li Yanqing opened his mouth and suddenly asked, "Tang Guogong, do you know that the imperial court wants to encircle and suppress Yanjia Village?" ”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I shouldn't know." If my brother knew about this, how could he not inform me in advance? ”

Immediately, he smiled bitterly: "Looks like you already know, right?" ”

Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle is still alive, and now he is a monk in Shaolin Temple. At the beginning of the year, my uncle and I knew each other, so we already knew the general situation. Moreover, Mrs. Dou was also on the side at the time, although she didn't say anything, she recognized her uncle when she thought about it.

Old...... Did you come to me because you heard Mrs. Dou mention it? ”

Lee Ki, or should he be called by his real name, Lee Hyo-gi is right.

He shook his head in confusion, "Brother Tiger is still alive?" I don't know. In fact, ten years ago, I had already vaguely guessed where you came from. Yuwa'er, you look very similar to your mother...... The first time I saw you, I was amazed. Later, I asked the uncle of the Dou family to come forward to investigate, and the time when you were adopted by the Zheng family happened almost at the same time as the death of Yanjia Village...... It's just that I was suffering from the lack of evidence at the time, and my identity was extremely sensitive. The Yang family wants to move the capital to Luoyang, and I really don't dare to recognize you at that time. ”

Li Yanqing's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

I thought that Li Xiaoji was assigned by Li Yuan, so he came to the door.

It turns out that this is not the case!

He opened his mouth, wanting to call Lee Hyo-gi his father.

But for some reason, when the words came to my lips, I couldn't call them out.

Li Xiaoji could see Yanqing's thoughts, and a smile suddenly appeared on his thin face.

He suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold Yan Qing in his arms. Ten years ago, Yan Qing was still a child, and ten years later, his size is about to catch up with him.

"Yuwa'er, don't force yourself if you can't summon it.

I know you've suffered for the past sixteen years...... Wait until you want to call again, let's not rush at this hour and a half. Hahaha, I was really happy today. God treats me really well Li Xiaoji, I didn't expect that the student I value the most was actually my child.

Let's go back...... I have also prepared a gift for you this time. ”

Lee Hyo-gi smiled with tears, took Yanqing's hand, and walked back.

This is not the first time Li Xiaoji has held his hand, but this time, Yanqing has an extremely wonderful feeling.

The empty heart seemed to be filled in an instant. He was pulled by Li Xiaoji, and he couldn't help himself, and followed Li Xiaoji and walked towards the thatched house.

Although my grandfather is gone, I seem to have another relative.

It was a great feeling! Li Yanqing's calm face, at this moment, couldn't help but appear a warm smile.
