"Shichiro, you wait!"

As soon as Li Qingan walked out of Xingqing Palace, Yang Huahua chased after him.

"Madame, is there anything wrong with you?" Li Qingan stopped and smiled slightly.

"Don't call me Madame, it's just the two of us here."

Yang Huahua slowly stepped forward and said with a charming smile: "Just now the emperor invited you to enjoy the lantern but you refused, then I invited you, are you willing?" ”

Li Qingan smiled apologetically: "Madam, it's not a question of who invited me, I do have something to do tonight." ”

Yang Huahua's face immediately sank, and she snorted, "Do you really want to find a bright moon?" ”

Li Qingan's heart immediately became disgusted, who did she want to find about her, and what right did she have to ask about her private affairs? He restrained the dissatisfaction in his heart, bowed and smiled: "If Madame is fine, then I will leave first!" ”

"Stop!"

Yang Huahua ran in front of him, stopped him with open arms, stared at Li Qing'an's eyes and said, "You must make it clear to me today, who am I in your heart?" ”

Li Qing'an looked to both sides, and the guards closest to them were also fifty paces away, he sighed secretly, lowered his voice and said, "Maybe I once had a good impression of you, and I was deeply impressed by your non-formalities. ”

Yang Huahua's gaze became gentle, and she whispered: "What about now, why can't it be now?" Shichiro, do you still hate me for slapping you? You know, that's because I like you! ”

Li Qingan shook his head, "The problem is not that you slapped me, but that you like too many men, and I don't want to be one of them, do you understand?" ”

"Aren't you the same? There are a lot of women you like, but I don't care, so why do you care about me? ”

Li Qingan couldn't speak for a long time, he shook his head with a wry smile, Yang Huahua was right, she has her freedom, she likes her, she asks for equality between men and women, these are not wrong in themselves, he can appreciate and comment as a bystander, but if he wants to be one of them, he can't accept it.

"Flowey, can we be friends? Don't get involved in the selfishness of men and women, so maybe we can get along better. ”

"What if I prefer to involve the private interests of men and women?" Yang Huahua bit her lip.

"Madam, I know you never force yourself to do something you don't want to do, and so do I, I don't want to force myself either, madam, I'm sorry!"

Li Qing'an pushed Yang Huahua's arm away and walked away quickly, Yang Huahua stared at his back, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Li Qing'an, do you know what will happen to the man who rejects me?" ”

Li Qingan stopped, looked back at her and said, "I really want to know what will happen to the man who rejects you." ”

Yang Huahua sneered and said: "At the beginning of the year, Zuo Wei joined the army and Fang Yuyu was also like you, he boasted of being high and dared to refuse me, but in less than half a month, he came to kneel down and begged me, hum!" I ordered someone to beat him up and throw him out of the house, he is still in prison and regrets it, Li Qingan, believe it or not, if you dare to refuse me, you will have this day! ”

Li Qingan raised his head and laughed, strode over, and heard his voice from a distance, "Thank you, Madame, for untying my heart knot." ”

Yang Huahua's eyes shot anger, she gritted her silver teeth and said, "Li Qing'an, one day, you will kneel down and beg me!" ”

She was unwilling, she had to make Li Qingan kneel under her pomegranate skirt.

．．．．．．．

Li Qingan rode back to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, the female escort Zhang Xiu'er came to report: "General, Mr. Yan has woken up, and he wants to see you." ”

"I just wanted to see him, too."

Li Qingan walked into Yan Zhuang's ward quickly, only to see Yan Zhuang leaning on the soft mattress and drinking medicine, Li Qingan smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Yan for getting out of danger." ”

Yan Zhuang hurriedly put down the bowl, lay on the couch and cried: "General Li ignored the past suspicions and rescued me, Yan Zhuang is grateful, and is willing to serve General Li as a dog and horse." ”

Li Qingan hurriedly supported him, "Mr. Yan, your injuries have not healed, don't act rashly." ”

He helped Yan Zhuang to sit down and asked, "Mr. Yan, what happened?" Let Mr. Yan be tortured like this? ”

"It's me who misread An Lushan."

Yan Zhuang sighed, then told the story of the matter, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I thought he was just making a show, just beating it, but I didn't expect him to break my hamstrings, making me crippled for life, what is even more chilling is that he actually ordered his own soldiers to kill me, if it weren't for my own personal soldiers, I would have died last night, I Yan Zhuang chose the master carelessly, and I took the blame!" ”

It turned out that Dong Yanguang was killed by An Lushan, and Li Qing'an suddenly realized that it was actually to seek Abshi's Turkic elite horse, he groaned for a while, and asked, "Then how could Mr. Yan think of coming to me?" ”

Yan Zhuang sighed and said with a wry smile: "The last polo tournament, my serial plan can be described as seamless, no idea was cracked by General Li, since then, I have always regarded General Li as a strong enemy of An Lushan, now that the hostility is gone, General Li is naturally my master, if nothing else, because General Li is unwilling to enter Beijing Yaogong, and to appease the relatives of the fallen soldiers, just by virtue of this, I Yan Zhuang will also follow General Li with all my heart." ”

Li Qing'an was overjoyed, the viciousness of Yan Zhuang's conspiracy and tricks has always made him remember, and now that he has the loyalty of this person, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Mr. Yan is willing to be loyal to me, and I will never treat Mr. Yan badly, now, Mr. Yan heals well, I will find a way to make Mr. Yan stand up again, I still have some things, and I will come to visit in the afternoon." ”

After speaking, he stood up and instructed several pro-soldiers: "Take good care of Mr. Yan, don't be lazy." ”

Several pro-soldiers agreed, and Li Qingan walked out of the door, and then Nan Jiyun stepped forward and said, "The general should beware that this sternness is a bitter trick. ”

Li Qingan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No matter how hard you use it, you won't break your hamstrings, unless I am Wang Zhonghei, you can rest assured!" I treat him with sincerity, even if he is selfish, after a long time, he will sincerely obey me. ”

Li Qingan smiled, found out Wang Changling's inn address again, and handed it to Nan Jiyundao: "You take a few brothers to move this Mr. Wang's luggage to us, and he will be my staff in the future, and give him another five hundred taels of silver, and ask him to transfer it to Li Bai, and say that it is my He Yi." ”

After a few more words, Li Qing'an went out just now, with more than a dozen soldiers to the West City, today is the fourteenth day of the first month, is the first day of the Shangyuan lantern, although it is still early from the dark, but the street has been crowded, many Chang'an residents have been interested in bringing their wives and daughters out to play, the streets are full of well-tied lanterns, there are huge volumes, beautifully made official lights, there are also private lamps offered by various large households, stretching for more than ten miles, densely packed with streets, in the West Market is also a sea of lights, It is mainly the novel and unique shop lights of each store, with the name of each store on it, which is a kind of advertisement.

At this time, Li Qingan suddenly discovered an interesting thing, at the gate of the West Market, there was a young man dressed like him last night, also wearing an imitation military uniform, holding a sword in his right hand, holding a wine bottle in his left hand, he didn't know what to chant in his mouth, he was staggering and dancing the sword in a drunken step, and a large group of little girls were surrounded next to him, clapping and laughing.

"General, he's learning from you!" Jiang Xiaonian and several pro-soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

Li Qingan touched his chin, and couldn't help laughing, he thought it was just this one, but he didn't take a few steps, and saw two young rangers with wine bottles and long swords.

They walked into Xiling Alley, and deep in the alley in front of them was Atami Ju, he remembered that the proprietor surnamed Chang last time was a Han from Broken Leaves, and it seemed that he still had a lot of status in Broken Leaves, maybe he could help him make up for the last hole in his life experience.

"Welcome, guest!"

The two orchids greeted them with a smile, and they suddenly recognized Li Qing'an and his party, and said in surprise: "Aren't you the General Li from last time?" ”

"Exactly, you are always here?"

"Yes, General Li, please come in!" One orchid arranged the room, while the other ran off to report to the proprietor.

In a small room on the third floor, five men were in a meeting to discuss something, one of them was Chang Jin, the proprietor of Atami Residence, and the other was full of white hair, Chang Jin had come to him for Li Qing'an's matter last time, and they were several leaders of the Hidden Dragon Society.

In the Tang Dynasty, there are many organizations in the court and the opposition, they are not a Jianghu sect, nor do they have any martial arts alliance leaders, they are just a combination of common interests or the pursuit of common goals, to the big one, in the middle of the court, there are Li Linfu's Xiangguo Party, the prince's Donggong Party, Li Cong's Qingwang Party, Zhang Yun's Zhang Party, Yang Zhao's Yang Party, and later the Li Party, Niu Party, this is a sect in the imperial court, and in the field, there are countless various interest sects, such as Jianghuai's Caoyun Gang, Salt Gang, etc., It's a kind of industry gang.

And one of the characteristics of the Hidden Dragon Society is that the main leaders are all from Broken Leaves, and they are Broken Leaf Han people, which does not mean that they are the Broken Leaves Gang, and their common ideals have nothing to do with Broken Leaves.

The Hidden Dragon Society has been established for 100 years, and the ideals of its members have been passed down from generation to generation, and its founding originated from a famous palace coup in the early Tang Dynasty: the Xuanwumen Incident.

On the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin launched a bloody coup d'état in Xuanwu Gate, killing the prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji, the news spread to the East Palace, and the generals knew that it was difficult to have eggs under the nest, in order to keep the prince's bloodline, eighteen family generals escorted the princess Changfei, who was pregnant in April, to escape from Chang'an overnight, and fled west to Broken Leaves, and got the protection of the Western Turkic Emperor Yehu Khan, who was friendly with the prince, and settled down in Broken Leaves, and Concubine Chang gave birth to Li Jiancheng's only surviving son in Broken Leaves, named Li Chenghe.

In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Jiancheng was named the hidden prince, this year, Li Chengsi has reached the age of sixteen, in order to restore the throne that Li Chengsi deserves, eighteen generals set up the Hidden Dragon Society in Broken Leaves, and made a blood oath in front of the prince's spirit, if they can't complete the great ambition in their lifetime, their descendants will continue to complete this great cause.

A hundred years have passed, and the sea has changed into mulberry fields, but the oath made by the eighteen family generals is still inherited by their children and grandchildren, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and Li Jiancheng's bloodline has also been passed on to the generation of his great-grandson Li Jin.

However, the members of the Hidden Dragon Society have only grown from the original eighteen to twenty-four, and all of them are the descendants of the eighteen generals of that year.

There are a total of eight people in the Hidden Dragon Society in Chang'an, and five of them are present at the meeting today, among the five people, in addition to Chang Jin is the proprietor of Atami, most of the other people are businessmen, such as the white-haired old man is the proprietor of the famous tea shop 'Lingxi Tea House' in the West City, called Li Huichun, his Lingxi Tea House monopolizes the tea trade west of the entire Green Ridge, and at the same time, his other identity is the Huicheng of the Hidden Dragon Society.

There are two other people who are also famous businessmen, and one is an official of the imperial court, Du Run, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, who is the highest official of the Hidden Dragon Society in the imperial court.

Whether they are big businessmen or high-ranking officials in the imperial court, they are just a kind of identity cover, and their ideals are the same, in order to relive the dream of their ancestors a hundred years ago.

"I told my eldest brother last time, Li Qing'an can be pulled into our Hidden Dragon Society, his background is simple, he is not from a gate valve, and more importantly, he is a general of Anxi, which will be of great help to us to strengthen the connection with the Broken Leaf Headquarters, and now he has actually become the envoy of the North Courtyard Festival, we can not let go of this opportunity, if there is a member of him, our headquarters can be moved from Broken Leaf to Beiting, which will play a vital role in our development and growth in Anxi, and even to the realization of the will of our ancestors."

Chang Jin is the descendant of Chang Miao, the third brother of Concubine Chang, and he has always advocated that the Hidden Dragon Society will change and absorb fresh blood, and Li Qingan is the person he fancy.

Li Huichun glanced at Du Run and said, "Fourth brother, what do you think?" ”

Du Run groaned and said: "Li Qing'an is a tide stall person, this is already an open secret in the DPRK, I am very worried that he will not only not join us, but will expose us, causing us heavy losses, the reason why our Hidden Dragon Society has not fallen for a hundred years is that the members would rather lack than abuse and extreme secrecy, big brother, I think we should act cautiously." ”

Li Huichun nodded, "The fourth brother is reasonable, we try our best to pull him into the club, it is likely to be wishful thinking, and it will be self-defeating if it is not coincidental, but the fifth brother is right, this is indeed an opportunity for us, a hundred years have passed, and there are still a few people in Datang who remember the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, if we don't take action, our dream is really just a dream, and we will not be able to fulfill the last wish of our ancestors." “

There was silence in the room, a hundred years had passed, their grandfathers and great-grandfathers had passed away in regret, and seeing that they were getting old, should this dream be left to the next generation?

"It's better than this!" Li Huichun said with a final word: "Find a way to let him join the Broken Leaf Han Tang Association first, and then slowly pull him into the Hidden Dragon Society." ”

The Hidden Dragon Society is an extremely secret organization, with only twenty-four people, but in order to expand its membership and influence, the Hidden Dragon Society has established the Broken Leaf Han and Tang Society, with the purpose of returning the Broken Leaf to the Tang Dynasty, and there are nearly 10,000 members in all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and the Hidden Dragon Society is the core of the Broken Leaf Han and Tang Society.

At this moment, a man's report came from outside the door: "Master Chang, the last time General Li Qingan came again, he wants to see you." ”

The five people in the room were stunned at the same time, and then they were overjoyed, saying Cao Ying, Cao Ying came, Chang Jin hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go talk to him first and see what he wants me to do." ”

He got up and went, and after a while, Chang Jin said at the door: "Big brother, come out for a while, okay?" ”

Li Huichun walked out and asked, "What's the matter with him?" ”

Li Huichun smiled with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "The opportunity has come, he wants to ask me for help, he said that his grandfather is also a Broken Leaf Han, and he wants us to help him find his grandfather's record in Broken Leaves, and the condition he offered is that I can enter and leave the Beiting border at will, big brother, I understand what he means, he just wants to be a Broken Leaf Han and let me help." ”

Li Huichun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Then did you tell him that if you want to become a Broken Leaf Han person, you must join the Broken Leaf Han Tang Association." ”

"I said so, so he wants to meet you."

The sudden good news gave Li Huichun hope in his heart, maybe this is really a great opportunity.

．．．．．．．．

Li Qing'an waited patiently in the He Hunting City Hall on the second floor, it was the first time he had heard that the Han people of Broken Leaf actually had a Broken Leaf Han Tang Association, and their leader was actually here, Li Qing'an faintly felt that things might not be so simple.

At this time, there was a cough at the door, and Chang Jin led a white-bearded and white-haired old man in, and the old man arched his hand and smiled: "I have heard the name of General Li for a long time, and now I can see it with my own eyes, and the old man is fortunate to have three lives." ”

Li Qing'an got up to return the salute and glanced at Chang Jin, who hurriedly introduced him: "This is the proprietor of Lingxi Tea House, also surnamed Li, the most respected elder among our Broken Leaf Han people, who only arrived in Chang'an last year. ”

Li Huichun hurriedly added: "In Xia Li Huichun, he is just a businessman, and he has a little prestige among the Han people with broken leaves, and Brother Chang has won the award." ”

Li Qingan said straight to the point: "It turned out to be proprietor Li, I want to ask for help with something today, presumably proprietor Chang also said it, I don't know if proprietor Li can do it?" ”

"Well said! Say! General Lee, please sit down and talk slowly. ”

The three of them sat down, and the guys served them tea, and Li Huichun took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know who General Li's grandfather's surname is, maybe I know him." ”

Li Qingan smiled slightly: "My grandfather's name is Li Zengyun, he has traveled all over the world, and his ancestor was at the end of the Sui Dynasty to avoid chaos and go to broken leaves. ”

"Oh! Li Zengyun, I seem to have heard of it. Li Huichun looked at Li Qing'an with a smile, which meant to say, 'I may or may not know, it's up to you.'"

Li Qingan also smiled and said: "In the future, when you go back and forth to Datang Broken Leaves, you can go to Beiting to enter and exit, and I will give you the greatest convenience." ”

Li Huichun shook his head and smiled: "General Li may not know that the Broken Leaf Han people are all members of the Broken Leaf Han Tang Association, if General Li's grandfather is really a Broken Leaf Han person, then he must be no exception." ”

'Broken Leaf Han Tang Meeting! Li Qingan pondered for a moment and asked, "What is it for?" ”

Chang Jin next to him said with a smile: "Last time I told General Li, all of our Broken Leaf Han people hope that Broken Leaf can return to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, for this ideal, everyone came together, this is the Broken Leaf Han Tang Society, and not only in the Broken Leaves, six years after the Kaiyuan Dynasty, a large number of Han people moved back to the Central Plains, they are still members of our Han and Tang Societies, and they serve loyally, so our power is extremely strong in the Tang Dynasty, if General Li is willing to join us, we can serve General Li as one of the leaders of the Han and Tang Societies, which is also good for General Li." ”

Li Qingan sneered, he actually wanted to let himself join some inexplicable gang, and he was a prince of one of the ranks, but he became a member of the gang, isn't it funny? The disdain in his heart was not revealed, but he smiled faintly and said, "Does the imperial court know about your existence?" ”

Chang Jin and Li Huichun glanced at each other, and Li Huichun said: "In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, we three hundred Broken Leaf Han people jointly wrote to the imperial court, asking Broken Leaf to return, and at that time it was in the name of the Broken Leaf Han and Tang Society, I think the imperial court should know that we exist." ”

Li Qingan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "That's it! My father and grandfather are both members of the Broken Leaf Han and Tang Society, because I was young when I left Broken Leaf, I haven't had time to officially join, I am your one, that nominal member, what do you think? ”

Li Huichun knew that Li Qingan hadn't fully believed them, and he wasn't in a hurry, so he nodded and smiled happily: "Okay then!" General Li will be asked to give me the information of my father and grandfather, and I will add them to the Han people of Broken Leaves. ”

They looked at each other and laughed knowingly, when there was a sudden commotion outside.

"I have an urgent matter with Brother Li, you tell me, where is he?"

Li Qingan heard that this was Mingzhu's voice, why did she come?
