After dinner, Wang Gong and his son lived in Kan Ling's room.

Kan Ling was squeezed into the room of the majestic sea, ready to spend the night with the majestic sea. As for those generals, they were sent by Shen Guang to settle down in Gongxian County. Originally, Shen Guang didn't plan to come back to live and gave the room to Li Xiaoji. But Li Xiaoji said that if he wanted to talk to Yan Qing's clan at night, he didn't seem to need to give up the room. Moreover, Li Xiaoji instructed the generals to gather before the time and then set off.

Li Yanqing heard that Li Xiaoji seemed to be only planning to stay here for one night.

"Dad, why don't you stay longer?"

In the dead of night, Li Yanqing and Li Xiaoji knelt on the porch, breathing in the cold fresh air, feeling the loneliness of the winter night.

The elephant dragon rested outside the porch railing, and Shen Guang prepared the finest ingredients for it to enjoy.

Two mastiffs, with thin waists and four eyes, prostrate under the porch, curiously looking at this newly joined companion.

Yanqing cooked hot tea and tasted it with Li Xiaoji.

God, it's not too good. Dark clouds rolled in from afar, obscuring the bright moon. The wind blowing from the direction of Huoshan was quite a bit of a murderous intention, Li Xiaoji shivered, and then took another sip of tea, only then was he satisfied, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

"Your cousin's first visit to Taiyuan was a difficult time.

Li Shanfei (Wei Dao'er) is very fierce, and Du Ji on the grassland is also ready to move. Internal and external troubles, your cousin is under great pressure.

In addition, Yang has always been suspicious of him, so he must be cautious.

At the beginning of the year, the Yang family asked your cousin for horses, and your cousin even gave his most beloved purple fire to His Majesty. He asked me for help and asked me to find some good horses from the Western Regions to present to the Yang clan. I actually sent the horse to Taiyuan this time, and I transferred to Gongxian by the way. ”

From Li Xiaoji's mouth, Wan Moxiang heard him call Yang Guang the emperor.

Yan Qing didn't feel strange, so he asked, "Then why is the Yang family so jealous of Tang Guogong?" ”

"Hehe, it's okay for me to call him Yang, you still follow the previous rules to call him. If you get used to it, and then you say that you leak your mouth, then it will be troublesome. ”

Li Xiaoji smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed Yanqing's head, as if he was in the school back then.

After pondering for a moment, he said softly: "Earlier, there was Taoli Zhang popular in Luoyang, which can be regarded as a reason. But more importantly, it is because the Yang family has this country, and it is not deserved. Yang Jian relied on usurping his son-in-law's country to have the Sui room today. Therefore, the Yang family has always had scruples about the ministers. It's not just about your cousin, in fact, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and he is afraid of it.

From Shi Wanzai at the beginning, to Gao Ying and He Ruobi later, and then to Yang Xuangan today.

These people are not the people who were from the dragon in the first place, but the greater the credit, the more jealous the Yang clan will be, and the more careful they will beware. ”

"Then Tang Guogong's ......"

Li Xiaoji smiled: "Don't worry, your cousin is a smart person, so he will naturally have a way to deal with it." ”

After saying this, Li Yanqing and Li Xiaoji suddenly fell into an unspeakable silence.

Seeing that the sea was about to pass, suddenly the sky was full of snowflakes. The snowflakes are large and gentle, and they fall silently.

In a moment, the whole world was shrouded in silver.

"It's snowing!" Li Yanqing said.

"yes, it's snowing." This is Lee Hyo-gi's answer.

Yan Qing turned the charcoal fire in the stove and put a jar of mountain spring water.

"Dad, you're not going to take me to Taiyuan, are you?"

Li Xiaoji was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile: This kid is really smart! I was thinking about how to explain it to him, and he had already guessed it.

"Yes, I'm not going to let you ...... for the time being. And their cousins are related. ”

"Oh!"

Yan Qing grabbed a handful of tea leaves, put them in the tea mill, and slowly grinded them. His attitude made Lee Hyo-gi very distressed. If Li Yanqing questioned him angrily, he could still explain. But now, Yan Qing seems to have a plan in his mind, and he doesn't ask at all. This made Lee Hyo-gi's prepared rhetoric suddenly useless.

"Don't you want to know, why?"

"I'm listening!"

"Yuwa'er, can you be like a child? Excuse me to be curious, okay? ”

Yan Qing raised his head, his eyes blinking, "Dad, tell me......"

"Okay, okay, you don't want to be like this. I'm not very cold, but I feel so cold when I look at you like this. Li Xiaoji hurriedly waved his hand, and after saying this, he couldn't help laughing. Li Yanqing put away his smile and continued to grind the tea leaves.

"If you go home now, it will be counterproductive."

Li Xiaoji poured the residual liquid at the bottom of the bowl into a bucket beside him, and said softly: "As soon as Tao Li Zhang came out, it made the surname Li Shixuan quite embarrassed. Your Majesty's vigilance against the people surnamed Li can be described as extremely serious. If you go back now, not only will you not get any benefit, but you will also get into trouble.

Although you don't have an official position now, I can see that the Yang family still values you.

Just because you have no door and no faction, you are a pure and loose person. But if you return to the Li family, you can't say that you will be killed immediately.

Moreover, I am also a person who cannot see the light now, and it will be difficult for you to give you an identity after you go back. Rather than that, I thought it would be better for you to read for a while. Although you don't have an identity, your cousin or everyone else will give you enough help. ”

"Others?"

There was a slight pause in Li Yanqing's hand.

"Dad, don't you want to give you an official identity?"

"There will be...... Not now, though. ”

Halfway through his words, Lee Hyo-gi felt a little speechless. But after thinking about it again, he asked softly: "Yuwa'er, what do you think of the current trend?" ”

"It's messy, it's messy, it's even messy."

After Yan Qing finished speaking, he took out a tray and lifted the lid of the crockpot.

Boiling water, steaming out a thick mist.

Yan Qing gently stirred the boiling water, then sprinkled the tea powder into the pot. I only heard the sound of Zizi, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet snowy night.

"Hehe, I love this voice!"

As he spoke, Yan Qing took the teapot off the stove and separated the tea soup.

His extremely strange movements made Lee Hyo-gi laugh suddenly after a moment of sluggishness.

The two no longer talk about the general trend of the world, and Li Xiaoji already knows what Yanqing thinks. And Li Yanqing has also understood Li Yuan's thinking. Who said Li Yuan was mediocre? Who said that Li Yuan was forced to rebel? That old man, now I'm afraid he has begun to plan secretly.

It is said that the credit for opening the Tang Dynasty is attributed to Li Shimin.

Li Yanqing will definitely not believe it now.

How old is Li Shimin now? His reputation is not even as loud as Li Yanqing's. How can the heroes of the world cling to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child?

That's a joke!

"Dad, my uncle lives in the Xinyuan Temple not far from here, do you want to see him?"

"Is he okay?"

"It's good, and the martial arts are very advanced."

"In the current situation, we are not fit to meet. Now that you and your uncle have known each other, it is enough. Yuwa'er, serve him well, okay? ”

Li Yanqing nodded.

"By the way, you're sixteen this year, and it stands to reason that it's time to talk about the last family business.

I heard that you have a lot to do with the little lady of the Pei family, but I don't know how it is going? If I need help, I can ask someone to help you with something. ”

"Oh......"

Lee Hyo-gi was happy to see Yeon-kyung's embarrassed appearance.

This kid is too smart, too old and calm. So much so that Lee Hyo-gi talked to him, and there was a lot less fun between father and son. But looking at him now, Lee Hyo-gi is naturally very happy. At the same time, he also secretly looked forward to it, hoping that Yanqing would be able to start a family as soon as possible.

"Dad, I'm still in filial piety, and it doesn't seem appropriate to say this."

Li Xiaoji smiled, "It's just talking, and it's not for you to get married immediately?" In my opinion, let's settle down the name first, and then talk about other things. ”

"Dad, you don't care about this matter, I have my own opinions."

"Good, good, good...... Then I don't care, don't come to me again in the future, go and say something for you. ”

The topic suddenly became relaxed, and the conversation between Lee Hyo-gi and Yeon-kyung gradually expanded. From Yanqing's childhood experience in the Zheng family, to all kinds later. Most of the time, Lee Hyo-gi listens attentively. He can't wait to detail the experience of each day, but unfortunately, many things, Yanqing's memory, is also very vague.

However, Lee Hyo-gi gradually heard the taste.

This son of his own family does not seem to be a confidant.

In the past, he and his father were the granddaughters of Yu Wenyou, the king of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who was the lord of the county; He has a close relationship with the Li family, and the daughter of the former right Xiaowei general Changsun Sheng, the eldest grandson Wujian...... If you want to count Pei Cuiyun again, there are already three women here.

No wonder Yan Qing is reluctant to spit out, I'm afraid he himself is also hesitating.

Li Xiaoji looked at Li Yanqing lovingly, and already had an idea in his heart. Since Yan Qing doesn't know how to choose, let me, the old man, make a decision for him.

"Yuwa'er, what do you think of Wang Jingwen?"

Mr. Wang...... It must be amazing. In the past, the eldest master of the Zheng family wanted to recruit him, but he was imprisoned because of his identity.

Dad, he's been with you for so long, you should know better than me. ”

Lee Hyo-gi said, "Then I'll let him stay and help you, how about it?" ”

"Help me?"

Looking at Yan Qing's surprised expression, Li Xiaoji smiled slightly.

"Brother Jingwen is extremely talented and knowledgeable, a hundred times better than me.

Such characters are just missing a chance. I had the intention of introducing him to your cousin, but then I considered that your cousin was mixed with fish and dragons, and the Yang family had many ears and eyes. Jingwen's reputation in the early years was too great, and if he was introduced to the past, he would not be in trouble.

But if I keep him by my side, I will really wronged Brother Jingwen.

You are now alone in Gong County, and the environment is very complicated. Brother Jingwen mainly walked in Hebei back then, so there were not many people in Xingyang who knew him. Those who know, the dead die, exile in exile...... I want him to be here and help you with your ideas. ”

Li Yanqing's eyes couldn't help but light up.

can be praised so much by Li Xiaoji, Wang Yong's talent must be good.

He has to experience and learn...... Although Yan Qing has some manpower around him, most of them are military generals. The majestic sea is horizontal, and the battle array is more than enough to be a hundred. Su Dingfang and Xu Shiji, all of whom are generals, commanding soldiers and horses, and motivating soldiers, it is not difficult to think about it. The three brothers of the party family are running errands at most, and Ma Sanbao handles sundries in an orderly manner. Shen Guang is Yanqing's most trusted person, a confidant, and extremely experienced in the rivers and lakes. But if he wants to make suggestions and stand alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it.

Li Yanqing's side does need a mastermind now.

The celebrities and ministers he knows may be able to associate with him, but if he is effective...... Counting, on the contrary, it is Wang Fei who is the most suitable.

Just keeping Wang Fei by his side is not without danger.

If someone recognizes you, you will definitely set yourself on fire. However, Yanqing really needs such a person to help now.

After a moment of silence, Li Yanqing said: "At the funeral, the patriarch of the Zheng clan gave me the Hundred Flowers Valley at the foot of the mountain.

There are about 3,000 hectares of fertile land, and Gongxian and Heishiguan stand on three legs. It is very close to Shaolin, and to the west is Shouyang Mountain. I am planning to build a grange there that can be used as a peripheral support for me. I originally planned to let Shen Guang go over and hold it, if Mr. Wang agreed......"

"At this time, you have to arrange it.

I just want to remind you that Mr. Wang is very talented and resourceful. If there is anything you can ask him for advice, you will definitely gain something. ”

"I see!"

Yan Qing took a sip of tea and looked out at the silver-white world outside the porch.

But see, the green mountains are faint and the water is far away, and in this snowy night, the whole world has become so hazy...... "Dad, it's snowing!" ”

He held the tea bowl and took a sip of hot tea.

Li Xiaoji spat out a white haze in his mouth, nodded and said, "Yes, it's snowing!" ”

****

The next day, it was just dawn.

The snow is still falling, but it's much lighter than it was at night.

Yan Qing originally wanted to stay with Lee Hyo-gi for a few more days, but was politely rejected by Lee Hyo-gi. He has his own schedule and will definitely not change. Li Xiaoji's surname is indeed a bit stubborn. There are some things that he is reluctant to change once they are confirmed.

Therefore, even if Yan Qing stays, he still has to set off.

However, Wang Yong stayed and did not go with Li Xiaoji. And Wang Gui wanted to go to Taiyuan, in his words: to add some experience.

Li Yanqing knows in his heart: Hugh sees his fame, but when it comes to attractiveness, he can never compare with Taiyuan.

This kind of thing is reluctant.

Getting a Wang Fei is already an unexpected surprise, Wang Guima...... In Yan Qing's opinion, he is indeed and still needs some training.

When they parted, Li Xiaoji hugged Yanqing in his arms.

"Yuwa'er, my father has one thing entrusted to you."

"You say."

"For Dad, put Xingyang ...... In the palm of your hand. ”

Li Yanqing was stunned when he heard this.

He looked at Lee Hyo-gi, but saw a strange light flashing in Lee Hyo-gi's eyes.

In an instant, he understood Lee Hyo-gi's thoughts.

What will the world look like? Perhaps in the eyes of some, there is already a conclusion. Heluo has been the hinterland of the Central Plains since ancient times. Xingyang, on the other hand, is the eastern gateway to the Central Plains. In terms of military and political status, Xingyang is very important. Li Xiaoji hopes that Yanqing will control Xingyang, and it can also be used as a gift for entering the body in the future.

As for Yanqing's age?

Perhaps, in Lee's view, that is not a problem at all.

Yan Qing couldn't help laughing, he nodded, and replied softly: "Dad, you just have to rest assured, I will definitely control Xingyang in my hands." ”

Li Xiaoji didn't say anything more and turned over and got on the horse.

When Li Xiaoji set off, Yan Qing suddenly remembered something.

He ran a few steps and asked aloud, "When will we see each other again?" ”

"Yanqing, it won't take long, it won't take long...... We'll see you again. Lee Hyo-gi spoke, and turned around on the horse.

The wind and snow are still there, but Yan Qing can invite him to see the bright smile on his face.

I hope it won't be too long......
