Mrs. Luo's mansion was also destroyed to a certain extent after the occupation of Broken Leaf in Dumozhi, a few months ago the Han and Tang Dynasties returned to Broken Leaf, repaired a lot of houses, and Mrs. Luo's mansion was also rebuilt, although the house was repaired, but the servants and maids in the house basically did not come back, most of them were afraid of the Tuqi Shi people, and did not want to return to Broken Leaf, Mrs. Luo's surname released them all, and only brought a few personal maids and old servants back to Broken Leaves, and a mansion became empty, along with two maids and three old servants, There were only eight people in total.

When Mrs. Luo returned to the mansion, her stepdaughter Ning Qingyi greeted her, "Mother, it turns out that you went out, and I am still looking for you everywhere!" ”

Ning Qingyi is about twenty-four or five years old this year, beautiful and dignified, from the appearance and temperament, she is a woman from a large family, she is last year, when Qi Yade fled to the east when she went east, in her words, her family is a big businessman doing business in Ning Yuanguo, due to the invasion of cannibals, the whole family unfortunately suffered, only she escaped, Ning Qingyi's words are obviously speechless, how can there be any Han businessmen in Ning Yuanguo, others don't know, can the Han and Tang Dynasties not know? However, during the war, everyone has their own misfortunes, Mrs. Luo didn't ask anything, so she temporarily took her in, but her son Li Jue fell in love with this Ning Qingyi at first sight, and was obedient to her, Li Jue would obey what she said, Ning Qingyi asked him to read more poetry and books, and he buried himself in reading at night, and was very diligent, which surprised Mrs. Luo, her son was a demon who no one could control, and was actually restrained by this Ning Qingyi, although Ning Qingyi's origin was unknown, but Mrs. Luo, who wanted her son Jackie Chan, still decided to let her stayand recognized her as a righteous daughter.

Mrs. Luo took off her big coat, handed it to her and said with a smile: "Today my father went to visit the envoy of Anxi Jiedu and took me there, I want to see if I can find something for Yu'er to do with him." ”

"Li Yuanjun is back?"

"Don't you know?" Seeing that she was at a loss, Madame Luo was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Sogdian merchants on the streets outside were all brought back by him, and in two days, he will come to visit us in the mansion!" ”

"What!" Ning Qingyi was taken aback, the big puff in her hand slipped to the ground, she quickly picked it up, covered up her gaffe and smiled: "I didn't sleep well last night, I was dizzy, and I couldn't even hold my clothes." ”

Mrs. Luo glanced at her, and there was a slight suspicion in her heart, how could she hear that Li Qing'an wanted to be in the mansion so gaffe, could it be that Li Qing'an knew her? Mrs. Luo was suspicious, but she didn't say anything, so she changed the topic and smiled: "What about Yu'er?" Isn't he at home? ”

"Mother, am I here?"

Li Jue walked in from the courtyard quickly, compared with last year's malaise, Li Jue has changed a lot, his pace is brisk, he is full of energy, and the complexion on his face is also a lot ruddy, seeing her son's progress, Mrs. Luo was greatly comforted, she couldn't help but glance at Ning Qingyi again, the trace of doubt just now immediately disappeared without a trace, and her heart was full of gratitude to her, it was because she entered the mansion that her son was no longer as ridiculous as before, indulging in women's sex, making his body improve day by day.

But Mrs. Luo knew in her heart that there was another important reason for her son's transformation, that is, the people of the Han and Tang Societies no longer spoiled him, to be precise, they no longer looked for him, and they had Li Qing'an, so they no longer needed Jue'er, which invisibly made Jue'er lose the foundation of spending time outside.

"Jue'er, have you read today?"

"I read it, today Qingyun asked me to read "The Mean", just after reading the book and going out for a walk."

Li Jue walked up to Ning Qingyi's side and looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as if to say, 'Why did you leave me behind and run away alone.' ’

Ning Qingyi's face flushed, and she saluted Mrs. Luo and said, "Mother, then I'll go back to the room first." ”

She didn't look at Li Jue either, turned around and walked quickly towards the inner courtyard, Mrs. Luo looked at her with a smile and walked away, and then looked at her son who was stretching his neck and was anxious to follow, and said with a smile: "Jue'er, my mother wants to talk to you." ”

"Mother, let's talk about it in the evening!"

Li Jue was anxious and wanted to go to Ning Qingyi, but Mrs. Luo saw that her son was impatient, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, so she pointed to the couch and said, "Sit down!" ”

Although many of the customs of the Broken Leaf Han people have been Hu, the Broken Leaf Li family still retains the mainland tradition, and does not use tables and chairs, but still uses the way of kneeling and sitting, Li Jue has no choice but to sit down.

"Jue'er, are your grandfathers still coming to you these days?"

"It's been a long time since they've come to me, I went to see Chang Jin yesterday, and he said that everyone is busy rebuilding their homes now, so they don't have time to come to me, I thought they had given up on the Hidden Dragon Society!"

Mrs. Luo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "You went to find Chang Jin yesterday?" How did I not know? ”

Li Jue waved his hand indifferently and said, "What's all the fuss about, am I not the young master of the Hidden Dragon Society?" Looking for them is what I should do, but they haven't asked me for a long time, which is also strange, tomorrow I have to ask Li Huichun, what these guys think. ”

Mrs. Luo didn't speak for a long time, she was thinking about whether she should tell him about Li Qing'an, from the perspective of human nature, she should tell her son about this, after all, he is an adult, but reason told Mrs. Luo that this matter must not be told to her son, her son is a very extreme person in his bones, if he can't think about it for a while, he is very likely to do something stupid and harm everyone.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Luo pressed the truth back into her heart, she smiled and diverted the topic. "Jue'er, you seem to like Qingyi very much, don't you?"

Li Jue's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "I was about to discuss with my mother, I want to marry Qingyi as my wife, and ask my mother to fulfill it." ”

"But Qingyi is already twenty-four years old, hasn't a twenty-four-year-old woman married yet? It's obvious that she's married, don't you care? ”

From Mrs. Luo's original intention, she would never approve of her son marrying a widow as his wife, and she was a woman of unknown origin, but the changes brought by this woman to her son were obvious to all, her son not only got rid of the bad habit of Huangyin, but also knew that he was going to study, which brought hope to Mrs. Luo, who had been worried about her son's repetition of his father's poor life, on the one hand, she hoped that Qingyi would stay and take care of her son, but on the other hand, she hoped that her son would not marry this woman, and her heart was full of contradictions.

Li Jue saw his mother's hesitation, and he said hurriedly: "I don't care if she has ever been married, I want to marry her as my wife, and ask my mother to fulfill us." ”

"This ....."

Mrs. Luo pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you really want to marry Qingyi, it's okay, but is she willing to marry you?" ”

Mother's last sentence hit Li Jue's vital point, yes! The point is that Qingyi has been refusing to agree to him, which makes him frustrated, Li Jue sighed and hung his head weakly.

Seeing her son's depressed face, Mrs. Luo smiled slightly: "That's it! I'll go talk to Qingyi first, you go to study, I'll tell you what's going on in the evening. ”

"Mother, I want to go with you."

"What are you going to do?" Mrs. Luo smiled: "Some things can only be talked about between women and women, it will be bad if you go, go and study hard, and your mother will bring you good news." ”

Mrs. Luo stood up and walked towards the inner house.

．．．．．．． In the room, Ning Qing sat in front of the window in a daze, looking at the blue sky outside the window, her eyes were full of melancholy, how could she not understand Li Jue's affection for her, but she didn't want to accept this love, once the sea was difficult to water, with her bumpy experience, how could she like Li Jue like a child.

"What, what's on your mind?" Mrs. Law walked up behind her and caressed her hair lovingly.

"Mother!" Ning Qingyi hurriedly stood up and said, "I don't have anything on my mind. ”

"Come on! Sit down and talk. ”

Mrs. Luo pulled her to sit down and said with a slight smile: "Just now Yu'er told me that he wants you to have a better relationship with us, so I want to talk to you, I don't know what your attitude is?" ”

Ning Qingyi lowered her head, although she didn't like Li Jue, but Mrs. Luo was kind to her, not only took her in when she was most depressed, but also took her to Beiting, and cared for her, so that she could experience the warmth of her mother who had never been received, she was a concubine, her biological mother died when she was very young, and her father ignored her children, so that she grew up in loneliness, and she was full of gratitude to Mrs. Luo.

Now Mrs. Luo wants to be her daughter-in-law, which makes her extremely conflicted, but she also knows that she can't be vague any longer.

"Mother, I want to leave Broken Leaves."

Mrs. Luo was stunned, she suddenly remembered Qingyi's abnormality when she entered the door, and she could no longer suppress the doubts in her heart, so she took Qingyi's hand and asked: "Since you call me mother, then you have to tell the truth, what is going on, you seem to be very jealous of that Li Qingan, why is this?" As long as you make it clear to me, I'll let you go. ”

Ning Qingyi couldn't hide the secret in her heart anymore, and whispered, "Because he will recognize me." ”

Mrs. Luo's heart was even more surprised, she grabbed Ning Qingyi's hand tightly, and asked urgently, "You must tell me, what is going on?" ”

"Mother, in fact, I don't have the surname Ning, because I changed my surname to Ning in Ningyuanguo, Qingyi is just my milk name, my surname is Li, my name is Li Suyun, and I can be regarded as the clan of the Tang Dynasty."

'Li Suyun? Mrs. Luo muttered twice, and she suddenly reacted, "You are ......."

Ning Qingyi nodded, sighed and said, "That's right, I am the princess of Heyi who was sent to Ning Yuanguo and his relatives." ”

Mrs. Luo stood up in shock, she was about to kneel, Ning Qingyi helped her, "Mother, don't be like this, Princess Heyi is dead, I am now Ning Qingyi, your daughter-in-law." ”

"Qingyi, what are you?"

A trace of gloom flashed in Ning Qingyi's eyes, and after a long time, she said in a low voice: "Everyone only sees the dignity of the Tang Dynasty and the princess, but who knows the tragic fate of them, I married into Ning Yuanguo, far away from my relatives in my homeland, the language barrier, the customs are not accustomed, the king Asillandagan loves me, but his rudeness is not known to outsiders, only I know, although this big food attack has ruined my family and my husband is dead, but for me, this is also a new beginning, I am free, I can go back to my home country, I can drink the water of my hometown, I can eat the food of my hometown, Mother, can you understand? ”

Mrs. Luo nodded slightly, "I can understand the pain of being away from my homeland, but why don't you disclose your identity?" If your husband is dead, you can go back to Datang and your home in a bright and bright way, why should you hide it? ”

"Mother, you don't understand!"

Ning Qingyi hurriedly explained: "Ning Yuanguo believes in Zoroastrianism, and in their teachings it is to encourage blood marriage, that is, when the king dies, I must remarry the son who inherits the throne, if I disclose my identity, Ning Yuanguo will definitely come to ask for me, and the court will definitely send me back to Ning Yuanguo for the sake of the overall situation, unless I die, I can escape this catastrophe, mother, I miss my homeland, you let me go back!" ”

Saying that, Ning Qingyi knelt down, Mrs. Luo didn't speak for a long time, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, why didn't she take Yu'er away from Broken Leaves?

Oh, yes! Li Qing'an inherited the position of the young master of the hidden dragon, and his identity as a descendant of the hidden prince is a matter of life for him, if Jue'er is ignorant and runs to make a big noise, will he let Jue'er go? Since ancient times, for the sake of power, how many siblings have been killed, and besides, they are not brothers, and they also know his secrets, will he let himself go just because he calls himself a mother?

Mrs. Luo only suddenly reacted at this time, and she was stunned.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Luo was extremely frightened in her heart, she grabbed Ning Qingyi's hand and said, "Qingyi, let's go, let's go together, we can't stay in the broken leaf anymore." ”

This time, it was Ning Qingyi's turn to be puzzled, and she asked in surprise, "Why did Mother leave?" ”

Mrs. Luo calmed down the anxiety in her heart, she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she made an excuse and said: "I want to go back to the Central Plains to find a famous teacher to teach Jue, there is no future here, Jue'er has been smart since he was a child, as long as he studies hard, maybe he can be admitted to the Central Plains, for the sake of his future, we should go back to the Central Plains." ”

"But will he go?"

"As long as you let him go back, he will definitely listen to you."

Mrs. Luo made up her mind, she still has a lot of gold and silver in her hands, as long as she is diligent and thrifty, they should live well in the Central Plains, and she wants her son to live a peaceful life.

That night, the two carriages quietly drove out of Broken Leaf City in the snowy night and headed in the direction of Beiting, and Mrs. Luo left a letter for her father Luo Pinfang, and left Broken Leaf City with her son and Ning Qingyi.

．．．．．．．．． In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Tang Army, Li Qing'an put two dragon and phoenix jade pendants side by side in front of the table, silently staring at these two pieces of green and warm jade, these two jade pendants were actually Li Jiancheng's descendants left to him, Li Jiancheng, Li Qing'an couldn't help but think of the change of Xuanwumen, the so-called winner of the prince, the loser is Kou, Li Jiancheng lost the country, and also lost the reputation of Corporal Lixian, shrewd and capable, since then the silver lustful, stupid and incompetent has become his coffin.

Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, he Li Qingan has become a descendant of Li Jiancheng, can he really realize the career that Prince Yin did not succeed a hundred years ago?

Li Qingan slowly walked to the door of the tent with his hands behind his back, looking up at the stars in the night sky, between a certain interstellar space, maybe there was a hidden way for him to go back, he thought more than once, if God gave him a chance to go back and open the door of time and space in front of him, would he really take that step? The answer is that he doesn't know, it's the end of the tenth year of Tianbao, he has been in Datang for almost six years, and he has already integrated into this era, if he really goes back, will it be Li Qing'an of Datang who has traveled to the next generation?

Li Qingan couldn't help but smile bitterly, this headache actually doesn't have to think about it at all, he can't go back to the afterlife, he is a Tang Dynasty man in his life, he wants to marry a wife and have children, and he will have his own offspring, this responsibility is destined to have no choice for him.

Yes! Responsibility is not only a responsibility to his family, but also a responsibility to the Tang Dynasty and this nation. Can the banner of the Tang Dynasty fly in the skies of Central Asia? Can we completely solve the problem of the grassland, so that the Han nation will no longer suffer from the disaster of extinction.

Tomorrow, he will start a new life, and he will face the most severe challenges in his life, can he Li Qingan have the last laugh? Looking at the bright stars in the sky and the boundless universe, his heart fluctuated, and at this moment, he felt that he was so small.

．．．．．．．． The ancestral hall of the Hidden Dragon Society is located in the backyard of the headquarters of the Han and Tang Societies, which is also the most mysterious \ most heavily guarded by the Han and Tang Societies, and externally, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are enshrined here, which is the spiritual root of the Han and Tang Societies, but there is a headless statue in the middle of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he is like a shadow, hidden between the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, implying his hidden identity, and only more than 20 members of the Hidden Dragon Society know the true identity of this headless.

Last year, before the big cannibals captured the broken leaves, the Han and Tang Dynasty would take away all the statues and spirit tablets in the ancestral hall, and relocated them in the ancestral hall a few months ago, according to the regulations established a hundred years ago, the Hidden Dragon Society will worship the ancestral hall on February 15 and the fourth day of June, February 15 is the day when Concubine Chang gave birth to a descendant, and the fourth day of June is the Xuanwumen Incident.

But today is the eighth day of the first month of November, the Hidden Dragon Society held a special worship ceremony for Li Qing'an, early in the morning, the children of the eighteen generals stood in every corner of the headquarters of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but there were only twenty people in the ancestral hall, except for the four people who could not rush back from Chang'an and Yangzhou, the rest of the members of the Hidden Dragon Society had arrived, they were all dressed in brocade robes, wearing crowns and high hats, standing solemnly on both sides of the ancestral hall.

Li Qing'an is also neatly dressed, he wears a purple shirt, a white robe, a nine-qi jade belt around his waist, and a three-beam crown on his head, not far in front of him, is the headless sculpture of the hidden prince, in front of the sculpture is placed a spirit card, which is written simply, only writing the six words "the prince built the position", and a few spirit cards next to it are several descendants of Li Jiancheng in the broken leaves for a hundred years.

With the emcee Li Huichun's shout: "Kneel down!" ”

Li Qingan lit three sticks of incense, inserted them into the incense burner, and slowly knelt down.

"Bow to the sect!"

Li Qingan kowtowed.

...... "Return to the second sect and kowtow!" ”

Li Qingan kowtowed again.

...... "Return to the sect and kowtow three times!" ”

Li Qingan took a deep breath, and under the guidance of Li Huichun, he respectfully kowtowed to the spirit card for the third time.

"Flat!"

Li Qingan stood up and looked at these spirit cards silently, from today onwards, his fate will be linked to this bloodline.
